    I take a look at the history and evolution of Marvin the Martian, the soft-spoken, easily frustrated, curious antagonistic creation of animator Chuck Jones - developed as a one-time villain for Bugs Bunny. With a desire to blow up Planet Earth he is, arguably, the most dangerous Looney Tunes villain. Surprisingly, Marvin only appeared in five shorts during the Golden Age of Animation, though through a series of social movements and pop culture shifts, Marvin managed to become a key character in the Looney lexicon and an iconic fan favourite star in recent decades.
    I take a look at how Marvin (originally called Antwerp) has evolved alongside Warner Bros. other popular characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig and how animators changed his look, appearance and personality over time.

    Excellent (What’s up?) doc there. My fave Marvin toon is 1952’s “Hasty Hare”, where himself utters those immortal words, “Oh! That wasn't a bit nice! [huff, puff] You have made me very angry, [huff, puff] very angry indeed!" BTW back in the early 60s I met “The Man of a Thousand Voices” himself. My family were at a corporate childrens' Xmas party at Casa Loma in Toronto. Every ballroom, hallway and stairwell of this real live castle was filled with musicians, clowns, magicians and jugglers...and a quietly-smiling, unassuming man in a neat dark suit and a tiny moustache. He complimented my little sister, literally a "babe in arms", telling her "Ohhhh! What a tweet widdle girl you are!" She was unimpressed and a little shy but I was thunderstruck as he turned to me and offered his hand burbling (and slobbering) "And what's YOUR name young fella!" Tweety and Sylvester... Mel Blanc in the flesh! My Mom says my mouth did not close for a whole week after!

    I always loved how both Marvin and Taz were barely used in the original shorts, but because of their cult popularity, they became 2 of the 3 most used LT characters starting in the 90's. The third being Tweety, because he was the girl's merchandising counterpart. Taz did see a rise in the late 80's, with an odd late stage release Atari 2600 game. As for Marvin's cancelled movie, I did see an uptick in Marvin merchandise when the film was first announced, including a Christmas T-shirt which was just a regular Marvin shirt with a Santa hat photoshopped on there. And I still have both versions of that shirt.

  • @emilygorman8894

    I think the thing that really drew me to Marvin and made him my favorite looney tune was the juxtaposition between his overall appearance and demeanor against his motivations and role in most shorts. His design and voice are adorable and I have an overwhelming desire to squeeze him, which makes the fact that he is constantly trying to literally blow up the planet and kill billions of people darkly hilarious.

    You know it's strange, because I've only seen Marvin in Space Jam and don't know his name at the time, but I immediately latched on to him because of his design. And because he was in a lot of merch. As an 8 year old I had a crush on him even tho he is marketed as the typical "I'll destroy you" kind of villain. He's just that adorable.
    My crush on him solidified during the Playstation One era. The "Bugs Bunny Lost In Time" game had him as one of the bosses and had a preview of his character and personality. I loved him anyway even tho he could kill me /laugh.
    There must be something about Marvin's design that makes him lovable to kids at first sight!

    Seeing all of these Marvin clips without the actual sound makes it so impressive to look at how his design made them unable to show that he was talking through most conventional methods and the "head bobbing" technique usually used would have looked a bit off, yet somehow you can still tell when he's meant to be speaking, even in instances when he doesn't actually move much while doing so.

    Along with Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian is my favorite Looney Tunes antagonist. The favorite design is obviously the design from Duck Dodgers (in 24:th 1/2 Century).
    Yes, Marvin should be continued to be used as he is an interesting villian and fits well with Duck Dodgers and is a great alternative to Elmer and Sam.

    I'd say I like Marvin in Duck Dodgers best. Added to that, Robin Hood Daffy and Duck Amuck are two of the funniest Looney Tunes cartoons ever created. I like Marvin but not as much as Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. I'd like to see the Evolution of Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner sometime. Road Runner always knows how to outsmart his ever-hungry adversary. Wile E. Coyote always ends up on the receiving end of falling over cliff edges, and being blown up by every kind of explosive in the book. It's so hard not to laugh out loud, when he gets squashed, stung by bees, pricked by cacti and more besides. He can't even outwit Bugs Bunny, who loves to make his plans backfire in more ways than one.

Did a pointillism drawing of him in early high school but mostly because I saw a picture of him in class.
