She was able to push boundaries with him that we couldn't see with other characters, and was able to influence feelings and motivations in Mordecai that gave us a different perspective on him. We were able to see him happy, we saw him sad, mad, embarassed, lovesick; we saw just about every emotion because he wanted to be with Margaret. It took him a long time and he was finally able to win her heart, and, to me, the journey was well worth it. For me, I shipped Mordaret because of how we got to explore the experiences an amazing character. I myself don't commonly ship the fandom ships (I don't ship much at all, tbh), which is why the only reason I cared about Mordaret is because of Mordecai. This is also why I ship him with CJ. We get different motivations and perspectives from Mordecai and the journey he takes with his relationships. Overall, whatever makes Mordecai happy makes me happy.

As for Margaret herself, she does seem like a genuinely nice character. She's cute, shes fun, she's outgoing, but that's all I can really say. I feel that, for those who don't ship Mordaret, really detest her because she is really only there as Mordecai's love interest. I myself enjoy Margaret being on the show, but I feel that I would probably love her character a lot more if we got more of an insight on who she was, and not just to keep the plot moving forward. I agree 100%. Just because Margaret wasn't the most interesting character on the show didn't make her a horrible character. She appeared to really care about the people around her, and a lot of the things she did seemed to be similar to how someone would act in real life. Though I agree she should have had more depth, she ultimately ended up molding Mordecai's character, giving him the depth that she lacked. As you mentioned, a lot of people detest Margaret because they feel she's only there to be Mordecai's love interest. While that may be true, I feel as though Mordecai deserves a love interest, so I think it is only fair that the creators came up with a love interest for him. In my opinion, I think it's silly to judge a character for how much of a backstory they have. We don't know much about High Five Ghost, and yet most people seem to like his character. ''Who are we to judge a character if we supposedly don't know much about them? ''I don't think Margaret was supposed to be just a love interest. I think she was supposed to be someone we could appreciate because Mordecai appreciated her. A lot of people may not agree with me on this, and I understand. I just wanted to share my thoughts on Margaret.
