User blog comment:MrQuest17/TD Season 6 Revealed! Big changes on the way!/@comment-30567301-20171219213413

time and time again, total drama proves to lack any awareness of their fanbase at all. we wanted to see old characters back to develop, they introduced a new cast. we wanted underdogs back, we got all-stars. we wanted fan favorites back, they pull this stunt.

i'd usually try to find some sort of positive in the midst of this horrific franchise move, but really there is not a single thing to be happy about? like even if we're seeing some characters back again, they're not teenagers, they're children. it's not the same thing.

they've lost so many fans and the fact that they go about it this way, which garantees them losing more fans, fans that have likely been with the show since the beginning? it's the worst thing i've ever seen.

it's not even comparable to teen titans go and the powerpuff girls, those shows are timeless and notorious and had a huge fanbase and have the platform to obtain more from a reboot. not only that, there's way less characters in those shows and they have supernatural powers. what are the total drama cast as toddlers gonna do? wet their diapers and play duck duck goose? i mean seriously lmfao.

you know, the reboot thing isn't really that awful. i would be up for a total drama highschool or something, 6teen is my favorite show produced by fresh tv and i could probably actually relate to some of the scenarios... but this is gonna be children. i'm not saying total drama was never a children's show but it certainly wasn't a toddler show. there's not much that these children can sustain.

while i'm being very critical and probably biased right now, i can't really help how awful and gross this feels lol. there's so many scenarious and paths they could've taken in a reboot if they wanted, but they chose this. while i'm sure there's probably SOMEONE out there who wanted this, we've already had it done before in tons of fan projects. what's the point of making an alternate universe for something that the fanbase has already done?

another aspect that worries me from this is the fanbase. the total drama fanbase is known for countless ships and fanfiction etc. and we've seen some pretty awful (and sometimes adult) things. just imagine how that'll be like with children. it didn't turn out well for junior that's for sure.

with that said, i love that the beth is back finally and courtney is there too. it'll be cool to see some more 6teen characters too like jen, my favorite. one thing is though i doubt we'll have any characters from gen 2 or gen 3 or RR and that sucks.

at the end of the day, i'm still in disbelief. this really isn't what i wanted nor truly expected at all, but it's a reality. i'm probably still gonna check out the episodes; they're only gonna be 11 minutes long, but i'm just really disappointed.
