There's a lot I have to suggest for Total Drama that might be worth taking a closer look at. The show has become way too frustrating lately and the mounting inconsistencies, abandoned plot points, deeply negative character development and needless controversies have really come together to make a show that is not delivering on the thrills and fun it did so early on. I agree with the majority that Total Drama Island is still more or less pretty much the best season of all of them, and it had by far the greatest sense of integrity of all of them and was the most balanced. And even the fourth season, while a mixed bag for some I admit still had a good deal of integrity and balance to it as well, and for the most part did decently with its short 13-episode runtime. I can't say I feel the same about the other seasons though, and this most recent one All-Stars just seemed to embrace the show's worst trends. There was literally no payoff to All-Stars and next-to-nothing was really accomplished with it. Even its setup of crossing the two casts over felt underplayed. I feel that there was a lot of potential in this idea and even the other seasons that don't have a lot of favor with myself and many others, but their executions leave too much to be desired. Look, I love Total Drama Island, and I think this franchise can be great again, but serious action needs to be taken to really bring it back to the good old days when it wasn't nearly as divisive or controversial as it has sadly become. I know there's still great potential in this series and I don't think it's been properly explored in a long time. There's a lot about Total Drama I need to say in the hopes that things may improve for the better, because I know this series can do so much better and I want it to do better. But some serious matters need to be addressed if this is to happen, there are several things I'd like to make note of if it will help the show at all.
