this is the ideal Aldrich characterization tbh

Some have said that Philip is not power hungry or pointlessly sadistic and uh, that's not really true.
The point of the 'Witch-Hunter General' reveal is to show that he has selfish reasons for his genocidal actions. He wants to gain power and rewards for his efforts. Thinking it is what he is deserved. Wanting to be remembered as a grand hero.
Also...Well, there are many displays of the fact that deep down Philip....really enjoys hurting people. There is the Collector's statement of how he enjoys killing the Grimwalker's. Philip exposes the fact that Luz helped him meet the Collector in front of her friends just to hurt her, while grinning.
And of course, before he impales flapjack. He makes sure everyone, including Luz sees it. And mockingly saying 'You wouldn't want me to hurt your precious palisman would you?'
youtube
I would compare him to villains like Palpatine or Aldrich but he's more...self righteous
Palpatine or Aldrich would torture you to death for fun. They know what they are and make no illusions to themself they are anything but evil. Philip would torture you to death for fun but create a self justification that made him feel not only guiltless, but heroic for doing it. He's a serial killer with delusions of grandeur. But he does not just want power or to hurt people. He wants to feel like the hero as he does them.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a Disney Channel isekai show where an antagonist who’s seen the error of their ways showed a turning point by crushing the device with which their controlling/abusive parent stayed in contact with them, I would have two nickels - which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Honestly, I would very much like to see a fanfic where the Core doesn’t exist and or Andrias lets Leif take the Box. Then after that sh!t-head Aldrich dies Andrias, Leif and barrel reunite(‘cause honestly, I ship them and there’s not NEARLY enough content of them) and stop colonizing planets.

10 highlights of The Hardest Thing
1. The transformation of the Calamity Trio, their outfits reminiscent of Magic Knight Rayearth
2. The Calamity Trio using their cool anime powers to destroy the Core's robots as the rock version of No Big Deal plays in the background
3. Andrias standing up to Aldrich, crushing the crown to pieces
4. Anne's ultimate sacrifice by destroying the Core for good, costing her life
5. The conversation between Anne and the Guardian
6. The Guardian bringing Anne back to life
7. The girls saying their tearful goodbyes to the inhabitants of Amphibia
8. Yunalivia is canon
9. The dissipation of the Calamity Box
10. The confirmation of Sasha's bisexuality

Hmmm the suit being based on Diplocaulus got me thinking, what if Andrias was a Temnospondyl not a newt. That would give more context to his large size and age, plus symbolically with him and Aldrich being unable to move on from their past legacy.

The story of 3 friends, separated from their home and each other. In their quest to reunite, they meet new friends, grow, and change in their time apart.

Andrias: okay, first off dad, I’m bisexual.
Aldrich: yeah, gay.
Andrias: oh for fucks sake- secondly, I don’t know a single person of any sexuality who’d enjoy this.
Barrel, from the other room: Hah! They’re dicks in the walls.

I mean there’s nothing in canon that disproves that the Core is super goofy. so why not
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...
In Amphibia episode "the Beginning of the End" Darcy captures Anne and others and intends to "do what [Andrias] could not: kill Anne." This is easily the scariest Darcymoment to me, because of the ease of which Darcy does that and because Darcy makes this face:
Tumblr media
This is not a Marcy expression. This is about as far from Marcy as you could possibly get. Marcy would never make this expression in this context. Why?
Well, know that Darcy has all of Marcy's memories. Marcy has known Anne since they were toddlers, and they hung out after school every day. She probably knew Anne's favorite foods and Anne's favorite color. They probably watched movies together, huddled under a blanket with moonlight streaming in from the window. Do you know what it takes to know all of that and still wear this expression? You'd have to be a special kind of fucked up to do that, and I don't believe that Marcy is that fucked up.
So. This image would singlehandedly convince me that Darcy really, really, isn't Marcy, and isn't influenced by Marcy in this way at least. Because if Marcy had any amount of say in this - the Core wouldn't be able to kill Anne. At least not with this expression.
Sidenote I actually kinda like that Marcy is completely powerless in controlling Darcy's actions. It makes her slapping away Aldrich's hand all the more meaningful because Aldrich takes away everything afterwards, leaves her in a dark room with nothing, just herself, some lonely little girl in her school uniform and not Marcy the chief ranger of the Newtopian Knight Guard. And she still rejects him.
Anyway. Where does Darcy's quirkyness come from? Well, Darcy says it might've "inherited some of [Marcy's] quirks" but it clearly doesn't get influenced that much from Marcy (see the above). From what I can identify "inherited some of her quirks" might mean that ol' Darce here enjoys Marcy's favorite foods more and falls over a bunch. I can't say anything conclusive on like, personality changes because the Core doesn't have a canon personality that isn't Darcy to compare and contrast to, which is honestly such a shame.
But. There is one thing the Core does when it has yet to become Aldrich-as-the-Core or Darcy-as-the-Core. And that is this:
Tumblr media
It gets really close to people just to mess with their heads. This is a consistent character trait displayed both as the Core and as Darcy. This does imply that it has a consistent personality.
Tumblr media
Besides, the Core literally named itself “Dark Marcy” because “the name appeals to us,” implying that that thing is canon goofy I refuse to believe otherwise!!
EDIT: Also the Core's first reaction to meeting Marcy is to demand Andrias kill her. Immediately. It's first reactions as Darcy to meeting Anne is to 1. mock her, 2. declare the rebellion over, 3. fecking kill her!? That's a very short path to killing, displayed both as the Core and as Darcy. Darcy is extremely hardcore and has no chill dot png.
Again, the Core doesn't have much of a personality, so I'm afraid the analysis has to end here. Sorry guys.
also this consistent character trait

Bit of parraleling between Marcy's father and Aldrich. With Marcy's father apparently being 'also very strict and hard to please'

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these three old men whose plots to conquer everything in their paths have ruined lives, especially those of minorities.
Spoilers, they’re the same guy.
