Marshal or Raymond? Who do you like more?

I dont have this Raymond cat, so i dont have any sort of attachment to him yet, but I had Marshal for years in my NL town and i love him so much! I am gonna admit that i wanted Raymond since before realese and i want him still, but his hype dimmed a little bit for me now.
 
I've actually never saw the appeal in either of them, they looked like every other "pretty" villager to me. If I had to choose though, it would probably be Raymond due to his eyes.

Marshal was my forced campsite villager (he's still on the island), I'm slowly warming up to him.
 
Marshal because we have very deep history. Before he was so popular, he was my first ever NL neighbor and I planned to hate him because he plotted his house so close to mine forcing me to rethink my house landscaping plans. But I grew to love him. He's my bestest friend in the whole AC universe and I'd be lost without him. He's the only villager I'd let live close to my house. I'd be open to have Raymond in my town but Marshal, at least to me personally, is God Tier. I cannot play the game for long without that boy. I finally got him today in my campsite and I'm just over the moon. We're reunited and we're ready to live life to the fullest in my island.
 
Easily raymond for me.

I like Marshal but not enough to have him on my island.
I have raymond on both of my islands. I'm a fan.
 
I can’t choose. 😭 Both are my favorites. I technically should like Raymond more since I love cats, but I had Marshal in NL and loved him so much since then. His pink rosy cheeks, his grumpy expression, his fluffy tail, his eyes, his catch phrase 🥺. Raymond I love him for looking grumpy even though he is a smug; he’s a cat; the black paws, ears, tail; toothy grin; eye colors; his glasses too I guess since I really like everything about him.
 
I have Marshal's Amiibo card so I can invite him whenever I want on any of my islands. As for Raymond he's living on Destiny I made sure he was brought to Twilight since I originally had him from Traverse which was my old island before I restarted it. He's been with me for a long time since last year. I know people find him overrated which is understandable, but for me I just like he wears glasses and the business coat that fits my style so I am not too obsessed with him like most other fans are.
 
Oh man, this is tough. Even though they are both smug and similar, they are still so different! I think if I HAD to pick, I'd say Marshal, but it's definitely tough!

Yep - final vote for Marshal. Swinging factor being that I have a couple of pieces of art that feature him and my character, and none of Raymond.
 
I lean more towards Marshal because I like his expression, plus, I've actually have had him before in New Leaf. Raymond seems cool too though.
 
Raymond, 100%. I'm a big fan of Raymond, lol. I know it's cliched, but, I mean, most popular things... are popular for a reason. And Raymond just has one of the most detailed designs of any villager- the hair, the mismatched eyes, the glasses... Also, he's a cat. A smug cat. There's such a cliche over cats being smug and arrogant (personally, I don't always agree with that, I think cats are just awkward with how they express affection- hence why I relate to them) that the personality is a PERFECT fit. He's my top favorite smug villager for sure. I've had him on my island for months now, and yet I still don't really have any desire to move him off yet, lol. I still get that "-squee- it's Raymond!" feeling when I see him, which is how I decide if I wanna let a villager go, lol.
Also, he's grown on me since having him. I've gifted him clothing and I love watching him make new outfits- except he keeps pairing his glengarry hat (he's 1/4 Scottish Fold, on his father's side) with a hot pink career jacket 😂 I ONLY gifted him cute things, but I never considered how he might mix them!

Marshall is still pretty cute, though. I definitely like his eyes (I'm all about villager eyes- they can totally make or break a villager for me) but I think he's just too... white for me. I mean, he'll probably be a Woodland resident eventually, but if I'm gonna be nitpicky, I like a -little- more color and a -little- more excitement and dimension to their design.
 
I don’t dislike them at all, but neither of them are villagers I see becoming favorites (I don’t like many of the smug designs though, so they still end up in the better than average group for that type though, I think).

I like Raymond more than marshal, as his design seems like it has more going on. I like his black ears, and little fangs. (I invited him on a whim cause I found him on island 4 one day while island hopping and figured he would be a good one to later pass on to someone after I get his picture. I like him a bit more than expected, I admit, but he won’t be permanent) His hair looks like someone dropped an ice cream cone on his head, and I cannot decide if that is a plus or minus.

currently I think my favorite villagers would include tabby, Rodney, Weber, bangle, and plucky, so take my opinion in that context.;)
 
Probably Marshall, but I'm not really big on most of the smug designs anyway. I ended up keeping Curlos in NL, but that was mostly because I had Frita and Willow and so it was kind of cool having three sheep that happened to plot really close together. So I deemed them the sheep friends.
 
i've grown really fond of raymond! raymond's design is really interesting to me, and he reminds me a lot of one of my d&d characters, which is the main reason i wanted him on my island. <3
marshall on the other hand is just sort of... boring to me? plus i just don't really like his expression. sorry, i've just never really been a fan of him. : (

so definitely raymond for me! <3 <3
 
They're both cute, but I think most of the villagers are cute.

I met Raymond on a mystery island once and he was pretty sweet. I also like his office house. I probably wouldn't invite either of them to my island though.
 
I like both of them. I've kept Raymond around more because he's hard to get back if you let him move away but I have Marshal's amiibo card. I like Raymond's house exterior better but I love Marshal's house interior. There are so many smug villagers I like, it's hard to choose among them. I probably like Colton best but Marshal and Raymond and and Kidd and Jacques and Zell and a bunch of others are also great. The only smugs I haven't loved are Olaf and maybe Julian, although their houses are nice.
 
Definitely Marshal since I had him on New Leaf and still haven't gotten him on my Island but thankfully he's one of my only 2 missing dream villagers I need :> (Minus Epona and Wolflink which haven't been released) o~O As for Raymond, I don't really like him as much even when he first got revealed I didn't find him appealing as much to be honest. I think Sherb is my new favorite villager that they added in New Horizons though.
 
I'd say Raymond. I think he's cute, and I'd love to have him on my island someday so I can grab his photo.

I do like Marshal too, but he's never been a favourite, not even when I had him in NL for a while. I never really got the hype behind him though (although I'm still not 100% sure I understand the hype on Raymond, I guess, even if I like him quite a bit deep down). Different strokes for different folks!
