>>3212368I was under the assumption that Running with Scissors is no longer canon, or is at least retconned to just feel like it was a "dream" to Marco so the writers don't have to wrestle with the issue of Marco having the mind of a 30-year-old or years of combat experience. At least, I personally don't accept it, since the entire concept of Marco even being driven to put up with 16 years of bullshit just for the scissors is really OOC for him (he's not that driven or determined about anything, least of all a mass-produced object) and there's no way he'd end up as buff manly Marco under normal life circumstances, at least in my opinion. Bara Marco's fine if you're into that sort of thing, but the episode as a whole is just really poorly written and thought-out to me and I'm fine with it being swept under the rug.
Also calling it now, if there's a time skip or something in the finale, I'm willing to bet adult Marco won't look anything like Running With Scissors Marco.
