** After the incident at the supermarket, its likely the girls' parents will force them apart, even the trio do make amends with each other.

* Considering how much further Marcy goes with her actions here, just how bleak will her fate be in the end? Even if she does pull a HeelFaceTurn, her greater involvement in the invasion doesn't spell high hopes for her future with a possibility of being arrested and sent to either jail, government custody, or juvie. Not to mention likely becoming PersonaNonGrata in both Los Angeles (and probably the rest of the world if news of the Frog Invasion travels outside the city) and Amphibia as a result. Not to mention pretty much burning all bridges with everyone such as the Boonchuy-Plantar family, Sasha, Lady Olivia, and everyone else who cared for her, with likely only having her parents left in her corner. Unless its revealed the Core made her BrainwashedAndCrazy and its diminished responsibility ion her part.

* Even if Marcy is stopped and does a HeelFaceTurn, after all the betrayals and trauma, it is likely the end of the trio's friendship (or at least Marcy's friendships with Anne and Sasha considering the TimeSkip in canon shows Anne and Sasha are still close friends and reconnecting as adults). Though this may not be such a bad thing, as now the 3 are free from a toxic friendship and can make new ones, with Marcy making a new start in another state (assuming news of the Frog Invasion doesn't travel outside California). Still, it would be bad that it had to end in such an awful way, unlike the show.

** Not to mention that the titular world is absolutely teeming with all sorts of monstrous creatures that regularly prey on its amphibious inhabitants but also happily make a meal out of humans too, even the insects and plants would want to eat them. So making friends with the natives that know how to survive all that on a day-to-day basis makes sense in PragmaticVillainy in exchange for giving them gifts from Earth and friendship. Hell, King Andrias probably came up with the lie to the heroes that his ancestors were "peaceful explorers" because Marcy's ancestors presented themselves as this to gain the Amphibians' trust.

* According to Marcy, her father made sure she read about the history of ImperialChina to ensure his daughter was aware and educated of her proud heritage. Seems she internalized this when she met The Core who made it far more interesting and spectacular.

* The Core's influence over Marcy is very reminiscent of being brainwashed into a {{Cult}}, with the entity as a charismatic Cult Leader. In both her speech and thoughts, she talks about how wonderful it feels to be around The Core and how she considers them a higher being. It makes you wonder if The Core did this with the humans that lived in Amphibia, including their other descendants to [[CultOfPersonality worship]] them as their [[AGodIAm God]].

* Judging by Marcy's pleased reaction to the soulless puppet versions of Anne and Sasha, she might decide to put extra strong MindControl collars on them.

* Marcy doesn't seem to be mad at all with King Andrias for [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbing her]]. Not only was it an accident in this story but it gave Marcy the opportunity to have one-on-one sessions with their master, the Core.

* The Wu Clan may have had an easier time adapting to Amphibia's environment than the Calamity Trio. Unlike the girls which are {{Ordinary High School Student}}s, TheClan consisted of aforementioned trained warriors and sorcerers that had enough combat experience to fend off the dangerous wildlife and hold their own against hostile natives until they could convince them they came in peace.

* The pursuit of immortality is a perennial pursuit in mysticism. Eastern alchemists, including Chinese Taoists, spent their lives [[ImmortalitySeeker seeking a way to achieve immortality]]. Hell, TheEmperor UsefulNotes/QinShiHuangdi that The Wu Clan worked for sought immorality as well. It wouldn't be too far-fetched that the creation of [[MindHive the Core]] was the idea of Marcy's ancestors that lived in Newtopia, having succeeded their predecessors in transcending death.

** If you think about, it makes sense that The Wu Clan would form an alliance with the Leviathan family if they were anything like King Andrias is today: [[LargeAndInCharge big]], [[SuperStrength strong]], FasterThanTheyLook for 20 ft. tall salamanders making them the {{Lightning Bruiser}}s of the Amphibian races and possibly have [[GeniusBruiser brains to match their brawn]] making them ideal allies/protectors in a DeathWorld like Amphibia. They probably could have introduced Feudalism when building Newtopia to make the Leviathans their {{Puppet King}}s like they did on Earth.

* The Wu Clan have had plenty of experience being TheManBehindTheMan for various {{Puppet King}}s on Earth with their teachings and methods passed down the generations, in ImperialChina. It makes sense that many had joined [[MindHive the Core]] in treating King Andrias and his family line as one.

* Why would the Wu Clan form a coalition with the locals of Amphibia? Why not become TheConqueror of Amphibia themselves? Well, keep in mind that they came here due to the collapse of their influence on Earth, leaving them few friends and a lot of enemies. Even though TheClan had powerful sorcerers and skilled warriors they probably only numbered a few dozen at most at this point, while the Frogs, Toads, and Newts numbered in the many thousands with homefield advantage. They would lose via ZergRush in a straight-up fight.

* Marcy HatesBeingAlone... now that she's a willing host of the MindHive '''she never will be.'''
