I can tell from a lot of the Mordegret people's replies, you haven't dated very many people yet. People change drastically from about 18 through 30. Mordecai was already in his early twenties at the start of the series, and a few years have passed in The Park timeline. So he about 25-27 at this point, which makes the concept of this "happily ever after" Mordegret nonsense even less realistic. Even though the scenarios involving the characters are fantastic and supernatural at times, the characters themselves are so completely human and realistic, that it was draws people in. It is the concept of normal everyday people being thrust into crazy ass, unbelievable, straight out the grease type situations, yet coming out in the end by embracing a higher moral ground or simply by acknowledging their own human frailties or defects of character and attempting to rise above it and be more than a stereotype. The thing about Margaret is that she was always supposed to be the high school crush you made out with, or the prom queen you scored a date with, it was a tool to help you grow in the future. I don't want to live in world filled with douchebag Mordecai's who were to scarred to move beyond a high school type crush. That was the world my parents lived in, and it sucks.
