more bitching about td23 season 2 lol

i think the thing that bothers me the most about the recent total drama season is just that there was absolutely zero desire for characters to grow or have a complete arc of any kind. emma got to do nothing, just started the season broken up with chase but didn't really get to form any new relationships (or make up w her bestie from last season.......bowie and emma i miss u) before she left. the cheating in challenges arc between bowie and raj never got solved. priya's entire storyline revolved around caleb and there is no conclusion to be had from their plot, they got together even though caleb is a shitty spineless noncomittal boyfriend to her. caleb Has this issue and nothing comes of it except for like cheap "tension" in the ep where priya gets eliminated. julia has Nothing going for her except that she's Mean and she's Good At The Game and is the reason behind HALF of ALL THE ELIMINATIONS and it all happens OFF!!! SCREEN!!! like heather had mad plot armour in her seasons but god at least she was fun to watch. zee did nothing, not nearly as entertaining as he was last season. they set up a GREAT opportunity for scary girl to come back for Vengeance after being eliminated in the first ep and then do Nothing to follow up. mk is literally glued to julia at the hip and gets no time to shine on her own. BOWIE gets eliminated IMMEDIATELY when the teams merge???? axel and ripper having nothing going for them after they get together and overstay their welcome. DAMIEN! DOESN'T! GET! TO! KEEP! HIS! IMMUNITY! IDOL! and we don't fucking see julia actually take it from him!!!!!!!!!! it's just like they didn't bother with Any interesting plot decisions for any character just to prop up julia who herself doesn't even get to be entertaining. she has some funny lines, sure, but she takes up so much gaddamn screentime and for WHAT.

#it's like this season was special catered to make me mad specifically #AND! you make me have to remember that macarthur exists. #it's just like. they spend SO much time waffling on julia (and her sidekick mk!)'s antics #and SO much time on priya and caleb crushing on each other and doing nothing #and SO much time on ripper and axel making out and being gross #and just. like. you can kinda tell who's gonna be eliminated in each ep just from the beginning because that's all the attention they get #julia is such a writer's pet and it's Not Even Fun. #i love the mean women in total drama courtney heather josee etc are some of my faves #julia just sucks. she was pretty good in s1 but she had no substance in s2 #and it just annoys meeeeeee #and people go ''oh it's a kids show and a parody they dont care about having deep characters and complete arcs'' #except...they used to? they did in previous seasons? are we watching the same show??? #it's why the bad writing in freshtv is so potent...because they Can do better #they just often do not #but yes i am over invested in this show being good i should just never have expectations i learned this lesson 10 years ago #and i was given false hope bc the first season of the reboot was so fun and good #rrrrrrrrrrrr #shut up mega #total drama spoilers
