ungentlemanlyCHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Marty McFly
Age: 17
Canon: Back to the Future
Canon Point: End of the first movie
Personality:
Marty pretty much is the perfect persona of the typical 80's teen. Hard into denim fashion, wanting nothing more in life to start his own rock and roll band with synthesizers and the lot. Often victim to being caught late to school, resulting in detentions and write-ups, something that teens usually get into.
What's nice about Marty is that although he has these characteristics, he's not exactly your normal teenager. A lot of that has to do with the fact that his best friend is a genius doctor who has a passion for time travel. Though the Back to the Future trilogy, Marty's personality evolves as the time and events progress, shaping his future in many more ways than one. Time travel is a huge part of him.
At the very beginning of the series, we know that Marty is about average or less than average when it comes to school; he has grades good enough to pass, nothing more or less. To the Hill Valley High School principle, he's yelled at for being a slacker. It becomes obvious at the beginning though that Marty is rather creative, especially in the musical arts. He plays the lead guitar in a band that he named the Pinheads, and puts a lot of effort and soul into his music. As shown in Back to the Future I during the Enchantment Dance, Marty is able to improvise and follow the sound of music, without rehearsal or warning. He can direct a band with ease, and has a very good singing voice to boot. Being and directing his own band was a dream he had since the beginning, and tries his hardest to follow it.
He's not only talented when it comes to music. Marty can ride a skateboard very easily, even daring to hang onto traveling cars to get from one destination to the other. Marty McFly was actually the inventor of the skateboard, shown to be true in 1955.
Despite his average grades, Marty is very clever for his age. It's one of the things that helps him get through time and through the dangers he faces. He knows ways to 'encourage' others to do specific things, or finds ways to get out of a tight spot. While he was stuck skateboarding in the front of Biff Tannen's car (and was about to get rammed right into a truck), Marty climbs his way up the hood of his car, through the Tannen gang, and safely hops back onto his board. In 1955, he learns that his teenage dad has a huge interest in science fiction, but not necessarily in his future wife. To help 'adjust' his attitude a bit, Marty makes a costume out of a yellow radiation suit with a mask, wakes George McFly in his room by blaring Van Halen in his ears with a cassette player, and orders his father to ask his mother to the dance. The alien's name: Darth Vader, from the planet Vulcan.
He totally fell for this, by the way.
When the pressure is on, Marty can keep a clear head...sometimes. He can find a way through many problems without spending a lot of time rooted to the spot by his fears. In the first movie, he only had a week to get his teenage mother to fall out of love with him, or face fading into nonexistence. The second movie makes him face the death of his father in an alternate 1985, and the third he only has a matter of days to save Doc Brown from being shot to death in the 1800's. All of the events in trilogy happen with no warning at all, and often are a danger to him. For some, they wouldn't be able to pull through these experiences because of the high pressure and the certainty of the future. But Marty manages to keep a level head (although, he has a lot of support from the Doc, no matter what the time).
A lot of Marty's motivation concerning school and time travel come from his friend, Doctor Emmett Brown. Marty first met him after offering odd jobs, and Doc offered him a job of cleaning up his garage. He wouldn't get paid, but could listen to any records he wanted to. Nobody really wanted to be near Brown, because he was labeled as the town's 'mad scientist'. Despite this, Marty took up the job offer and they have been the best of friends ever since.
Doc has caused a lot of good changes in Marty's life, whether it involves time travel or not. Marty would do anything to help out his friend, even if it means meeting him at a mall in the dead of night and almost getting hit by a car. While he's completely independent and able to fend for himself, a lot of help comes from the Doc when Marty goes on his time adventures. In all three movies, he needs not only Doc's smarts, but his support. In a timeline where he's supposed to not exist, it's extremely beneficial for Marty to have a friend who he can go to, or to talk with. Because of all of this, Marty is very loyal to the Doc, and will do anything to save him or help him.
Marty's not loyal to only Doc, however. To any friend he has, Marty sticks by his their side. He's not one to turn his back on someone he's friends with, and will try everything in his power to do what he feels is right. That's easily said when his dad is being bullied by Biff Tannen, and Marty tries to make a stand to protect him. Even if he's in the past and people think oddly of him, Marty will stand for them because it's the right thing to do.
He's a character that follows through by his emotions; he's absolutely nowhere near a 'macho-male'. When Marty's angry, he will let you know. When he's sad or upset, he won't do much to hide it, except when it's absolutely imperative that he keeps a straight face to fix the future. If someone has the guts to call him a chicken, Marty will confront them out of anger and try to prove that he's not, even if it gets him into trouble. When the Doc was shot at the end of the movie, even though Marty tried to save him and wrote a letter of warning, he was upset to the point where he cried. If he needs to act to keep the timeline intact, he'll try to keep a straight face, but will either act immediately or go to Doc to vent. Running by his emotions is something that follows Marty through the trilogies, and is a major part of who he is. Before he traveled to the future and learned what was in store for him, it actually got him into quite a bit of trouble.
Bravery is something that runs strongly in Marty. He takes on the challenge of running from a gang in the 1950's by riding away in a rickety, makeshift skateboard. He faced against a criminal in 1885 in a gunfight, only to drop his weapon and face the danger head-on. There are many examples of Marty facing dangers head on without hesitation. It's a very big part of who he is, and makes him shine through the trilogy.
The McFly family had a horrible, almost pathetic reputation at the beginning of the trilogy; even Marty's principle said to his face that no McFly have never and will never amount to anything...which was true. Wine and booze was his mother's life blood. She was a raging alcoholic, who avoided a hangover by keeping her glass full. His father was absolutely pathetic, known to the town as the local doormat. He would do absolutely nothing to defend himself or his family, no matter if the threat was verbal or physical. George McFly gave into the simplest of things, all to avoid confrontation.
Marty grew up in a low-middle class household at best, until he changed the future. His status and his family is something that he tries to protect, and grows offended when something against them is mentioned. Marty was determined to change that...which, in the end, he did!
It's easy to say that Marty's knowledge of his parents greatly change the future when he goes back in time. By staying close to his dad and encouraging him, Marty helps to boost his confidence and encourages him to stand for himself. Thanks to Marty, George McFly took to writing sci-fi novels, ultimately increasing his reputation and his wealth. He helps to show Lorraine who her true love is in life, and because of this she became a little more accepting of herself and of others. Because of her better relationship with George and her quality of life altogether, she is nowhere near alcohol at all.
Marty's flaw that is noted the most is that it's very hard for him to take insults, particularly anything that relates to being a coward. Being called anything from a 'chicken' to 'yellow' digs down right into his skin and rubs against all the wrong nerves. In the first two movies and halfway into the third, Marty would confront anyone who dared to insult him and defended himself. This usually turned out negatively for him: in Back to the Future II, Marty confronts Biff after being told he was a chicken and is almost knocked out by a door hitting him hard on the head. Years and years in the future, Marty is spurred on to a street race after he was told he was a chicken. Before he altered the timestream, Marty got into a crash with another car, causing major damage to his wrist and destroying his future as a rockstar. A lot of this comes from seeing his father being such a coward in the start of the trilogy, and that made him determined to not follow in his footsteps.
Despite his family's improvements at the beginning, it's not until the third movie that Marty is able to take someone calling him a coward. After he was called 'yellow' in the old west by one of Biff Tannen's past relatives, he challenges him to a gunfight a day or two away. Marty doesn't understand how much defending himself over petty insults could affect him until a picture from the future shows his name on a tombstone. Because of this (and ultimately getting shot, but protecting himself with an armor cover for his chest), Marty realizes that there's nothing wrong with walking away when someone calls him a chicken. It saves his future...in many more ways than one.
Flaws and silly things put aside, Marty is a very easygoing teen who has one huge picture in life: to be the lead guitarist in his own band, to become famous and sell millions of records across the nation. Thanks to his friend Doc Brown and a time traveling Delorean, this all becomes possible.
