>>90393007Well... Lets see
>Total Drama IslandA kind of generic, but interesting little show, if not predictable. It was fun to watch as a kiddo, so it has that nostalgic novelty of "I feel like I am not supposed to be watching this :^)", and it also has the whole "I wonder which character will get voted out next."
From a writing standpoint, it suffers from:
>Generic stereotypesWe have entire characters built off them, but some of them are given some character nicks that makes them a little interesting. For instance, Tyler.
>Tyler:>Fits the stereotype of a jock to a T.>Complete with red aerosuit and wristbands and shit>Kind of dumbBut
>He is extremely accident proneThat, combined with his show offy nature, makes for fun little scenes and shenanigans. Fun times all around. Honestly, if you just take it for what it is, and you just go in with low expectations, you'll enjoy it. It was a fun show. That's it. It doesn't claim to be some big ass epic deep shit.
>Total Drama ActionAn instant quality drop.
Suddenly, we remove about 65% of the original cast, and we are left with characters who were in most of season 1, so we already know about them, and there's not much more that can surprise us. So that means, that when something shitty happens, it feels like it comes out of nowhere.
Trent throwing challenges for Gwen came out of nowhere because that is a complete contradiction to the way he was in Island, and his fucking threes shit was completely autistic, as was the way Gwen was received and treated on Aftermath.
Geoff becoming a Chris-tier asshole though was kind of interesting, but seriously, I just hate how they fucking ruin characters in this and just ignore the other characters. Like I don't fucking care about god damn Owen anymore. I want to learn more about say, Eva or whatever.
