In Action, she was shoved into a villain role that she didn’t wear well, and her abuse of Duncan was so unpleasant that when Duncan later cheated on her, I managed to feel no sympathy at all for her. In Island, she basically let her team carry her for the most part. While he is attractive, his social game is a mess, his challenge skills are pretty much nonexistent, and his constant whining is really annoying. Justin is like Alejandro with everything good removed. Hey, look! It’s Leonard, but less memorable, less funny, and a girl! She’s sure to be a great addition to the Total Drama cast! Preachy and annoying vegan stereotypes are preachy and annoying. Still, after Ezekiel, that might not be such a bad thing. While the writers succeeded at that, they ensured that nobody really wants to see more of Staci. Staci was basically created just to be an unsympathetic first boot. Just three toxic narcissists who treat everyone around them like dirt. Rodney falling in love with every girl he interacts with isn’t funny, just painfully awkward. As for the gimmick itself, it’s not a sympathetic one. While the others were at least memorable, Rodney has no charisma whatsoever (though he doesn’t have Mike’s anti-charisma, thankfully). Out of all the gimmick characters of Pahkitew Island, Rodney managed to be the worst. Seriously, this guy is more dishonest than most villains, and we’re supposed to believe his relationship with Zoey is healthy? And the less said about that finale, the better. And while the series has had characters that got a bit too close to that status for comfort before, they didn’t reach the level of protagonist-centered morality that Mike reaches. Simply put, Mike is a Mary Sue, or Gary Stu, as the case may be. In fact, every word out of his mouth and his entire demeanor in general just serve to convince me that he is not worth paying attention to.īut what really sucks about Mike is the writing around him. And it could be excusable if he had charisma, but he doesn’t. ![]() Not as annoying as some other characters, but just annoying enough that it grates on my nerves whenever he speaks. But wow, the writers did not know how to handle this character. But what pushed him across the moral event horizon was this line:ĭave is a toxic, evil person, and I hope he never makes another appearance. Despite wanting a relationship with Sky, he never listened to her, and acted like it was her fault when that came to bite him in the ass.Īnd all of that might have been redeemable, with enough character development. ![]() His behavior around Sky reeked of brown-nosing, and he consistently acted extremely immature around her, as well as entitled and overly possessive. While I get that Sugar and Leonard may not be the easiest people to be around, and despite Ella, Shawn, and Beardo being very nice people, their quirks may get tiresome over time, Dave frequently went too far. Dave is extremely judgmental of anyone he considers “not normal,” which is everyone on his team except Sky, even his “friend,” Shawn. I bring this up because if Chris is not a monster with supernatural powers, the fact that he is allowed to torture the contestants the way he does on TV is disgusting.įangren was correct to rebrand Dave from “The Normal Guy” to “The ‘Nice’ Guy,” because he is very much a human version of r/niceguys. In addition, the interns that tested the challenges often died from things that the contestants just shrugged off. Blaineley was severely injured, but Courtney wasn’t. And before you suggest that Total Drama takes place in a world where slapstick rules are in effect, I’ll remind you that Courtney and Blaineley were thrown out of a plane. And even those that didn’t have superhuman strength or intelligence were able to survive things that normal people wouldn’t, such as being blown up by land mines, being burned by a volcano, or falling off the Statue of Liberty. First, there are multiple contestants who have displayed superhuman abilities. I know how it sounds, but I do have evidence. ![]() I have a theory: Total Drama takes place in the Riordanverse, the contestants are all demigods (except for Blaineley) and Chris McLean is a monster from some myth who forced heroes to fight to the death in ancient times.
