User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 4)/@comment-27588345-20141030221457/@comment-25285054-20141031011310

Mike and Zoey are a lost cause. Doing ANYTHING with them is a bad idea at this point and would inevitably result in backlash.

Bulbasaur, while Pahkitew did have human interactions, the characters themselves..are barely human at all. Most of the ROTI characters are decent, but they rarely have depth of very complex characterizations (though a decent chunk do) which is why it is often accused of having a flat cast.

Retconning all three is way too much at this point, and would be dang confusing. It would be better to fix some of the things they did wrong, and keep the things that went right. Doesn't require a complete reset. Saying "derp, none of that actually happened" would be pretty irritating to the fanbase wouldn't it?
