To be honest, I like both characters. The only problem I ever really had with Margaret was her lack of personality, but looking back on that subject, I realize that she ultimately ended up giving Mordecai's character the depth that she lacked. I think Margaret really cared about Mordecai, though, even if she didn't show it very often. She seemed to be afraid of losing him to CJ in Yes Dude Yes, and she even cried at the end of Steak Me Amadeus, something we hadn't seen from her before. I'm not sure if the love was mutual on both ends, but I still believe she cared about him enough to respect who he was and support his actions/opinions.

With CJ, I feel she has a genuinely well-rounded persona. By this point, we know she likes to paint, play laser tag, and do a lot of the things Mordecai likes to do. In that reguard, I think her relationship with Mordecai really clicks. However, I see her as more of a friend to Mordecai, not a potential love interest. Don't get me wrong; I like CJ's character. I guess I just wish she didn't have to fill the bottomless abyss Margaret left behind. It's kind of like the creators brought her back in order to replace Margaret, and it doesn't sit well with me. Technically, Mordecai and Margaret never even broke up, seeing as she could still visit him at any time and vica versa. If/when Margaret does come back, I have a feeling that a storm will come to pass...

If I look at Mordecai's love interests from a non-love related point, I have to admit that I like CJ's sense of dauntlessness and nonchalance when it comes to dangerous situations. In Margaret's case, I like her passion when it comes to certain things, such as how much she cared about getting into her dream school.

I apologize if it seems like I'm bashing either of the characters. I truly appreciate both of them, so no matter what happens, I can accept who Mordecai ends up with. I kind of hope that Margaret will return at some point, but if she doesn't, I guess CJ will have to do.
