Poor, sweet, ridiculously talented Marco. Even though it's completely absurd to transfer to a new school for your senior year, the guitar player is a delightful addition to the franchise cast. He's playful, a bit of a tease, and did I mention very good-looking? It's fairly obvious to everyone and their mother that Marco and Elle are going to hit it off right away, but I couldn't help but be charmed by their flirtatious back-and-forth. He is everything that Noah isn't: smooth, cocky without being a jerk, and fun. I can't lie, I would absolutely attend a Team Marco meeting after this!
Marco's heartbreak led me down the same road as John Ambrose's (Jordan Fisher) did in P.S. I Still Love You. Despite being the better fit for their respective ladies, neither guy could measure up to her first choice, and as a viewer, I can't do anything about it. I will pout about it until the end of time though. And of course, there's a part of me that hopes to see Marco in the inevitable third movie, reminding Elle of what she could have had if she had followed through with what they began on that Dance Dance Revolution stage.
