Personality: MartyMcFly is a cool kid who keeps it cool until someone calls him chicken. Then he loses his cool and then punches people in the mouth Clint Eastwood style. Because Marty McFly keeps it real, son. Word to yo’ momma.
…Okay, maybe not.
For the most part the time-traveling boy wonder is an easygoing kid; a friendly guy who has no trouble befriending others. Unless your last name happens to rhyme with “Fannen” then Marty might be a little on edge. But his relationship with Doc Brown gives some insight into the kind of person Marty is and how he interacts with others. The fact that he his friend’s with the town’s “crackpot” shows that he doesn’t shy away from what others might consider to be strange and out of the ordinary. For about 95% of the time, a bunch of technobabble just spews of out the Doc’s mouth but Marty just seems to go with it. Is it a little crazy? Sure and Marty has no idea what he is talking about but that is just a part of who Doc is and Marty accepts that. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
Marty is also an aspiring musician, always practicing his guitar whenever he has the chance and he is actually pretty good at it even though he doesn’t quite believe it himself. It’s not that he believes that he awful at playing the guitar but the problem for him is that he is afraid that others wouldn’t think that he is good enough. This all stems from Marty’s original timeline in which he grew up with a father who never stood up for himself or aspired for his dreams and allowed others to dictate who he is as well as his future. As much as Marty hates to admit, some of that rubbed onto him. There is that lingering fear inside of him that is afraid of rejection of not being on par with the rest of everyone else. That he will eventually grow up to be just like his father. Eventually he learns to face his demons but those insecurities still follow him along, however, at least he knows that his future is not written in stone. People cannot tell him what his future is going to be and it is only him that is capable of that.
Unfortunately that is not where Marty’s slight inferiority complex ends. It has also manifested itself whenever his bravery is put into question. Marty is not the kind of person you would expect to get mixed up in all sorts of trouble as well as not the type who would maliciously hurt others either it being through his words or his actions. Intentionally, he wouldn’t stick his neck into something he knows that would hurt himself or others though trouble has an odd way of finding him. One of the primary examples of this is whenever a person (most likely someone from the Tannen family) starts name calling and tells Marty that he’s a “chicken”. And that would be enough for Marty to completely lose his shit. There is something that ignites inside of him and he would just take the challenge head on. Again, his need to recklessly prove himself comes from having that need to compensate, to prove that he is not a pushover like his father. He knows that it’s completely stupid and reckless, there is even a twinge of regret in eyes after everything is all said and done but he just can’t find it within himself to just let it go.
It’s not until the third part of Back to the Future (film) where he learns that always answering to a petty fight or challenge will just hurt him in the long run. This is where Marty learns that there is a difference between defending yourself and proving yourself to others. Like in that quick-draw match between him and Mad Dog Tannen in the year 1885, Marty knows he doesn’t stand a chance taking the rouge down. He makes a large gamble with his life that he can get out of this mess if Doc can get the time-traveling DeLorean to work again and take them back to 1985. Unfortunately for him, shit hits the fan and Marty is forced to dance with death.
Something hits him, he may not be as strong as any Tannen in history or as brilliant as Doc but he can definitely use his quick-wit to get himself out of this jam. That being something right off of a Clint Eastwood movie in which he creates his own makeshift body armor. Even after the fact in 1985 where Marty is challenged to a drag race by a bunch of punk-rockers with his new truck. Instead of racing them, he just lets them on, revving up his engine more and more right until the light turns green and he puts his truck into reverse. He realizes that if he did raced against them, he would have caused a major crash between him and an oncoming Rolls Royce.
Now it’s established that Marty is not exactly the “book smart” type. He isn’t a complete slacker like his high school principal makes him out to be but let’s just say he won’t be stepping into an Ivy League institution anytime soon. Despite Marty not being the brightest in the academic bunch, he makes up for it with his quick, resourceful wit. He has this uncanny knack for getting out of sticky situations with what’s given to him. He’s no Angus MacGyver but it’s his swift, ‘on your feet’ decision making that ends up helping him. As it was mentioned before, if it were the Marty from the first two films, he would probably be considered more reckless than usual. He would be compelled to act first before even thinking about it. Towards the end of the third part and into the Back to the Future: The Game, he channels that impulsiveness in a completely different light.
So let’s be honest here, Marty is just your average teenaged kid. Compared to the other alpha males that roam the halls of Hill Valley High, he doesn’t quite match up. He is not as tall or as strong as the lot of them but what Marty lacks in superficial qualities he makes up for with that good head on his shoulders. Marty is a decent kid who tries to stay away out of trouble (the operative word here is “try”) but he also isn’t one to stay behind the sidelines whenever someone tries to push him or anyone other.
