Marshall Status
I think Marshall is my favorite pup ever. I could see myself becoming friends with him. His popularity is going down. It’s either to focus on Liberty, or because they’re saving something big for him in the future. What do you think?

So, let's get this party started, shall we? XD
Who is/are your favorite(s) pup(s) and why?
Omg, first ask!!
My top favorite is Chase! (Other pups are there too, but I'll be talking about Chase here!)
I've always been interested in characters who play as leaders - I guess it's because I look up to them in a way, that I also want to be a good leader, resourceful and responsible! Chase is my favorite for just that. He's resourceful, agile, responsible and determined. He gets the job done in time and is always looking forward to a mission. Especially if the issue involves Skye. He's so so cute. A tiny furball. Look at him !!
Along with that, he's also just really silly and cute sometimes.

My problem with Rubble and Crew (well besides that it’s a spinoff of Rubble) is the design. They tried to add fur, but it just looks like bad texture, their teeth is overly detailed and their eyebrows don’t function as normal eyebrows.
Here is what I mean:
There’s that overly detailed teeth I was talking about with too much lip space between their gums and outer lips. But also! That skin looking wrinkle thing that acts like their eyebrows, while their real eyebrows just sit on their foreheads…
Oh and almost forgot! Those lashes…also those out of place eyes. It’s just so wrong somehow. And no these aren’t badly taken screenshots. The whole episode they look like this!!
And again…fur looking like bad jpg texture rendered awfully:
(Her skin-eyebrow substitute isn’t as bad, but Goooooosh…)
On the contrary, here is what their promo looked like:

Going Back to my Rubble & Crew Theory...
Back in December of 2022, I wrote up a theory based on how Rubble's backstory might link up with his yet-to-air-at-the-time spinoff, "Rubble & Crew". If you like, you can click here and check it out. If not, here's a recap of what I said.
Rubble's family had a big, big job. They were incredibly distracted and inadvertently became neglectful of their youngest, Rubble.
Due to his age, Rubble wasn't allowed to help. He didn't get why everyone was gone so often, thought no one loved him anymore, believed himself to be on his own, and ran away.
Months pass. His family can't find him and later accept he might be gone for good... but deep down, they never gave up hope.
Rubble encounters Chase, Marshall and Ryder. Rubble impresses Ryder during a mission and later joins the PAW Patrol.
A year later, Rubble's made a name for himself in Adventure Bay, but nobody thinks to look for him in such a small town.
The events of the first theatrical film happen. After being involved in a big rescue in a big city, Rubble & the other pups end up on the news and are regarded as heroes. This news broadcast is seen all over the country.
Rubble's family sees this broadcasts and finally discover their little Rubble's alive, well, and has grown to become an experienced construction pup.
They quickly head to Adventure Bay to meet up with Rubble. Many hugs and tears soon follow.
The family apologizes for neglecting him, but Rubble also apologizes to them, realizing now the burden they had and why they were gone so much.
The family wants him to come back with them, but Rubble says he has a new family now and they all love him, thus he doesn't know what to do.
Conveniently, they have a new job in an upcoming town called "Builder Cove", which just-so-happens to neighbor Adventure Bay. He doesn't have to pick which family to stay with now!
Keep in mind, I wrote this before knowing that much about Rubble & Crew or even how things might continue in the next theatrical film, "The Mighty Movie". All any of us knew was A) Rubble now has a big family, and B) "Builder Cove" is new and will neighbor Adventure Bay. I took a pure guess based on these two details.
I thought it'd be fun to go back and see just how the spinoff connected with Rubble's backstory, as well as just how much of it I got right! Here's a list of what they did...
Rubble suddenly has a big family because Spin Master said so.
All that stuff about Rubble being alone and not having a family? Well, never mind that.
Look, just pretend "Pups Get a Rubble" doesn't exist, even though it still airs on TV and can be found on Paramount+.
And there you go! I was....... 0% correct! :D
...no, really. I'm not trying to be cynical. That's honestly it.
While I haven't seen much of Rubble & Crew (I've seen exactly two episodes, and only because Marshall and Chase were in them), I have heard others talk about them. And yeah, going by what they've said, they really did just flat-out ignore Rubble's backstory. Out of lazy convenience, I imagine. That's a shame, if you ask me. To think, I put in way more effort than anyone at Spin Master.
Viewers, and that includes older fans, love these characters. You want them to have some meaning behind them, and backstories often accomplish this. However, they lose that meaning when the very studios behind their creation disregards these details whenever they feel like it. You all know I'd love to learn about Marshall's history, but I want it to matter and not just be something that pops up for a single plot of a movie, never to be references again... or simply tossed aside when it becomes inconvenient to a writer. I feel like these characters deserve better than that.
Well, what can I say? Hey, that Rubble & Crew episode involving Marshall was pretty cool. Wait, what does this have to do with this post? I don't know... but have a cute pic from that episode, anyway.
