Why is marshal ultra popular?

[Zenxolu]

Let me ask you an age-old question which is probably three years old, why is marshal an ultra popular villager, what makes people go gaga over this one specific character, is it because of his looks or the way his house looks or just him in general? I really don't get it aside from him being a squirrel help me understand this.

 

[Crash]

presumably because a lot of people think he's really, really cute. he's a marshmallow squirrel, I kind of get it, and he is cute, but he's not my favorite by a long shot.​

 

[Shimmer]

He's adorable! Plus he's easily one of the cutest smug villagers.

 

[Lumira]

i agree with crash. yes, he's cute, but i honestly don't see all the hype about him. i definitely think there are villagers that should be more popular than him.

 

[AccfSally]

Tbh, I don't know either.

I have him, he's cute and all. But I really don't see anything special about him.
Besides being a squirrel villager and I love them :3

Little white squirrel with big eyes and a pouty expression, he's just cute and has a mostly universal appeal. I had him in my town for over a year myself. He was my first smug so I felt like his personality really suited him too, but I found two smugs I liked more and three was a crowd. :p I never even noticed him being marshmallow themed (the name went over my head entirely I guess) but that makes him even more cute.

Any time anyone brings this up, all I hear is "Well I don't like (insert villager here) so I don't understand why anyone else does" and it's petty. Like, people don't have to have an explanation for why they like something, even if it's popular. I like Marshal because he reminds me of a Marshmallow, and also because the university I attend has a larger than usual population of squirrels with the mutated genes for white fur, so he reminds me of them. He's also really nice, and his cute appearance makes the smug personality come off as more endearing than creepy like it does with, say, Lionel. Marshal also does have a nice house interior, with the rare and prized sloppy furniture. He's just a nice villager. Even if he wasn't, does it really matter? It's not up to other people to scrutinize other people's gameplay, and if you're not a fan of Marshal or don't really understand why people like him, what consequences does that have? None.

Every time I see a "Why is Marshal popular?" thread(and I've seen them a lot),I wonder why nobody questions the popularity of Fang or Lolly or Diana...or any other popular villager for that matter.I think the answer is very simple:he's popular because a lot of people like him,just like all the other popular villagers.

Because he's SOOOOOO cute and is the best smug villager IMO and he has sloppy furniture and he's based of of marshmallows and did I mention he's SOOOOO cute? <3 Although people have different opinions

i'm not sure why everyone loves him. i think he's boring.

♥ I think most of the white-themed villagers are pretty popular,
like Marshal, Diana, Flurry and Merengue are the ones that I can think of.
Plus Marshal is a squirrel based off a marshmallow,
and I really think he is cute and I like him c: ♥

^Merengue is not white!

Its the pouty the expression I think.... not many villagers can pull off the different expression like him! and I think a lot of people like him because its different than the smiley happy villagers, yet still in a cute package. I think there are way more interesting villagers, but I honestly never gave Marshal a chance because he was so overly popular for no reason.... like I understand Julian, Ankha, and the other singularly unique villagers, but Marshal isn't even that unique, besides his pout... thats why I just glanced over him

I've never really understood it either - it's obviously from the way he looks but I never thought he was that cool or cute.

 

[Greggy]

It's gotta be his pale white color and small size. Kids these days love pale colors and cute, petite things no matter how boring they are. I never liked him though, but I wanna punch his face.

 

[MintySky]

To me Marshal is and looks like a very boring villager. I just don't get why he is so cute to everyone.

 

[Belle of Pripyat]

I don't get the "marshmallow" connection. To me, he's an ordinary white squirrel. His name beginning with "Marsh" doesn't connect the two things at all. I do like him, though, but I don't think he's all that special.

 

[Alienfish]

He's got that cute angry smug look? I dunno, I mainly like him because "Jun" is an old internet nickname and he's a fluffy squirrel...

Little white squirrel with big eyes and a pouty expression

^^ This...I've always loved the squirrel villagers & Marshal is just a cute villager to me. He is my favorite villager by far & my favorite smug. A lot of the flirty smug dialogue sounds better when it's said to you by a tiny white squirrel, as opposed to a creepy looking blue unicorn...just saying.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

I don't know actually....I like him, I'm currently looking for him actually and I'm offering a higher price than I have for any other villager. Not sure what it is, for me, he's a smug for one. I adore smugs and lazy villagers. 2, he's pretty adorable, I don't actually like any other squirrels but I really like him.
3, he's a smug

Honestly not sure. I have a variety of dream villagers and I'm trying to experience as many as possible to get the right set for my town. I've settled on the majority now and Marshal should be the last one for a long time.
Hope I don't regret it
