Would you consider Marie to be toxic?

No. I consider her to be DEAD. Because the actress who played her has passed away. So what her character did no longer matters. And that's all there is to it!

The character was very manipulative, gave out guilt like no tomorrow. Also her back handed compliments and her way was always right. Know people like her. However, it was entertaining and still is. I'm watching all episodes again.

Yes, she is toxic. She always criticized Debra or made backhanded "compliments" about her housekeeping, cooking and parenting skills and decisions. She was always over at their house getting in their way or in their marriage/parenting situations and she expected Ray to choose his mother in every situation instead of his own wife.

Very toxic.


Was ist der Sinn des Lebens?

Marie's behavior in Favors (Season 9) was highly toxic. She does "favors" for all the family members as a way to manipulate them down the road.

Yes. Yes. And...... oh yeah, YES.

Frank would be infinitely more tolerable; at least you could shut him up once in a while. Marie is endless, and always all up in everybody's business.

She is a vicious hate filled monster. I could not watch the show because I despised her character so much. I watched a few episodes in syndication after a friend kept insisting it was hilarious. Most of the characters are insufferable douchebags but Marie is pure evil. After I watched the ep where the older brother BEGGED the loathsome witch to let him fulfill his dream of joining the FBI and the hateful shrew instead sh!t on his dreams and made sure he could never join I couldn't watch it anymore.




I feel sorry for anyone who had to grow up with a mom like her.
