A lot of people in the fandom have already said this before, but I gatta say it as well. I absolutely love that Mariano isnât your stereotypical handsome jock character, whoâs a prissy jerk obsessed with himself, only caring of his looks or obsessing over Isa and nothing else.
We didnât get a lot of Mariano in the film, what we have about him is the bare minimum information and crumbs, but you can tell heâs layered. Instead of being a one note handsome pretty boy, heâs actually very kind, thoughtful, and caring. During the events of the film, he develops a genuine romantic crush on Isabela, wanting to impress her. They could have so easily made him that stuck up dude who flexes and brags about his good looks, but instead he genuinely liked Isabela, and wanted what was best for her. He planned to propose with a romantic speech, and even wanted to play the piano for everyone. During the dinner scene, he even asks Mirabel if sheâs okay, not even looking or sounding annoyed and rude. Of course, you then have the sweet fact that he writes poetry to his mother and takes care of her a lot, which I love so much. I also like the fact that he doesnât get angry when he realizes Isabela didnât want to marry him, sure it happened off screen, but as we saw, he was more disappointed because heâs clearly lonely and wanted someone to love, and in the end, he got that, with someone who loved so many things about him, not just for his looks but for his heart. I know itâs not a big deal to some, but to me it is because as said before, they could have so easily made him one note and mean spirited. Iâm glad they didnât go in that direction even if Mariano isnât in the film a lot, but I will say I DEFINITELY want to see more or him, he seems like a lovable character, an absolute chad lol.
