If you don’t already know, Veronica Mars was a television show with a cult following. Fans called and still call themselves marshmallows. Many years later, VM got its own movie, and fans raised the money that funded the film. After its success, there is currently a spin-off webseries called “Play it Again Dick,” which comes out every Wednesday on CW Seed.

1. Veronica Solves Crimes Like a Boss

Veronica can literally figure out anything. She could definitely find Carmen Sandiego. And Waldo. She uses all of her resources and tricks to solve crime and serve justice.

2. She’s Sassy and Smart

Veronica doesn’t take crap from anyone. Much like Buffy, her zingers hit home; however, unlike Buffy, Veronica’s retorts are actually meant to be laughed at.

3. Kristin Bell is Veronica

You can’t get much cooler than Frozen. See what I did there? Kristin Bell is kind of the coolest person ever. I mean, have you seen her reaction to a sloth?

4. Veronica Kicks Butt

Veronica literally only ever uses a taser and she kicks some serious butt. She uses her mind to outwit her opponents and frequently saves herself. She is a damsel. She is in distress. She can handle it.

5. Veronica is an Awesome Photographer

She uses a legit camera to get incriminating photos of creeps. She doesn’t use her camera phone app, she has a zoom lens and everything.

5. Veronica has a Dog Named Backup

I was actually really confused when I first started watching the show. Her dad kept telling her to bring backup and for some reason she always brought her dog. Then I figured it out.

6. Veronica’s Dad is Amazing

Mr. Mars is a Private Eye who is super cool. When Veronica’s mom left he stepped up and became both parents. He always says “who’s your daddy?” and it’s not even creepy when he says it. He supports Veronica but also protects her and does his best to stop her from doing dumb things.

7. She’s Friends With a Gang Leader

Yep, Veronica likes to mix it up and hang out with people of all backgrounds. Weevil is a sweet guy who happens to be the leader of a gang. Veronica doesn’t judge books by their covers.

8. Veronica Has a Great Sidekick

Wallace is literally the best thing ever. He’s funny and supportive and just great. I’ve always wanted a Wallace.

9. Dick

Dick is well…Dick. His name is fitting, but for some reason, you just can’t hate him.

10. Veronica Had an Interesting First Love

Oh boy. Duncan was a real handful. I had a love-hate relationship with him. Mostly hate. He was pretty dumb.

11. And an AMAZING Second Love

I can’t spoil this for you. This guy comes out of nowhere and at first you hate him but then you forever love him even when he’s dumb because he is just the best guy ever. He’s rough around the edges but super sensitive on the inside. He’s had a rough life but Veronica helps him. Also, he beats up anyone who tries to harm Veronica. #hotttt. I will always love this guy.

12. And a Cutie-Pie Third Love

This guy is real cute. I like him, but I never love him. He’s the safe choice. The nice guy.

13. But She Doesn’t Let Love Make Her Dumb

Veronica knows when to focus on school, when to focus on crimes, and when to focus on guys.

14. She’s Been Through a Bunch of Trauma

Like crazy stuff. Multiple times. Her mom walked out on her. Her best friend was murdered. She was assaulted multiple times. She has been blackmailed/kidnapped/beaten up multiple times.

15. But She Doesn’t Stay Down

Veronica is a strong, independent woman. Whether she’s single or in a relationship, sad or happy, with her dad or on her own, at college or in the real world, Veronica stays strong.

16. Her Hair

It evolved through the series. It was and is beautiful.

17. She Doesn’t Take No For an Answer

Her dad tells her not to do it? She does it. Her loving boyfriend asks her not to do it? She does it. She knows what has to be done and does it.

18. She Always Has a Cool Bag

NGL, Veronica’s style is killer. the best part is her bag. Although it changed for the last season, it was awesome. I still want it. And the second one was cool too.

19. She’s Quirky!

In conclusion, go watch Veronica Mars. All of it. And then the movie. #DatMarshmallowLife
