Marshal is fine, there is a lot of love for him, and I don't know why either. I do have him in my town and he's a pretty cool guy. He's not SO cute but he has a certain look to him, his personality is great too (although a ton of other villagers are like him anyways). His house DOES have a lot of sloppy furniture in it though... and he can sell it to you if he invites you over, that's one reason why I like him, as shallow as that sounds, haha.
