Line 45:
With attention on him, his Sweet 16 opponent was [[Donald Duck]]. Making his first Sweet 16, Donald is noted for bad luck in the tournament, which fans sensed impending doom with the sudden popularity of Marvin. Part of this, ironically enough, involves an autistic obsession with seeing Donald match up against Daffy in a tournament. This could have played a role in Marvin's 10 vote victory, 231-221 to secure an [[Elite 8]] slot. Only [[Iroh]], who was one seed below Marvin, has been a lower seed in the [[Elite 8]] in any tournament.
In the [[Elite 8]], Marvin matched up against [[Skeletor]]. A popular pick with MOTU: Revelations coming out and traditional success in the tournaments, the Marvin/Skeletor bout was highly looked forward to. A narrative began to form with Marvin at this time; his noted role in being left out of ''the /co/nqurors'' would strive for him to beat all remaining /co/nqurors to take the crown. This led to Marvin's victory over Skeletor, 247-189
In the top 4, Marvin faced off against [[General Grievous]], the /co/nquror who eliminated him in 2019. Grievous was also going on a monster run, beating many top opponents to reach this stage of the tournament. Despite the support behind him, Marvin finally fell to an opponent by losing 262-160. Grievous would go one and beat [[Hank Hill]] in the next round, winning the tournament. Marvin faced off against one more /co/nquror, [[Aku]], in the third-place match. Marvin would lose this by a closer margin, 252-214, having him secure the 4th place finish. The whole controversy surrounding Marvin's win over Skeletor and the similarities he shared with the previous "underdog" winner [[Tom Cat|Tom]] are most likely the main reason why he lost the semi-finals and placed 4th.
Despite falling short, Marvin's surprise run is considered by many to be the highlight of the tournament. With inconsistent results, it remains to be seen if Marvin can make another deep run.
