User blog comment:FloridaMan/What do you want to see from the next "Total Drama" series?/@comment-1037137-20150914205934

Getting back to this post, those are three very logical and critical suggestions. I would very much like to see that too, most of what you said.

But the key to success is getting in drama, character development, and story. And the first should no longer come at complete expense of the latter two. Again, massive mistake in most of the post-Island seasons. The 13-episode seasons are not the only ones that should be singled out for the major faults they have. TDA and TDWT had them too. Bigtime.

They were always planning on bringing back Owen, Geoff, and Noah, for a very long time. If it was in response to that specific criticism, I'd be shocked. Yes, that handful you mention, most of them being the ones who became All-Stars were heavily flanderized. But hopefully later they'll all receive a season run that answers for everything that brought down their characters and actually develops them. They owe us that before Total Drama ends for good at some point.

Yep. The All-Stars theme was bull. That was a spectacularly failed execution of what should've been a great setup for the rest of the season. Instead it misses the point completely and is a huge liability to the franchise.

Mixed feelings on that fourth suggestion. I mean I don't think I'd be bothered if we saw another island, necessarily.
