User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-22535514-20140825155423/@comment-1037137-20140825165028

Basically nothing here amounted to anything. They had the ideas, but didn't think any of them through and literally just threw them in there without a second thought. That's no way to operate as a writer.

The only good episodes in my opinion were Heroes vs. Villains, Evil Dread, and Suckers Punched, those were pretty well-written and inoffensive and before any of this crap went down they had decent character development. Anything past the merge is either a hopless mess or outright evil. I'm still not sure what the hell they thought they were accomplishing with any of this, especially with the final three episodes. Feels like they were deliberately trying to spite us with this one.

Right, well they still were civil with each other at last before things hit the fan in TDWT, so that was something and burying the hatchet was still a good way to work towards their redemption, even if it could've been handled more eloquently.

But at the end of the day, I think literally everything and everybody got brushed aside for Zoke, this season was riding on the misguided hope that Zoke alone could please the entire fandom, regardless of what happened to everyone else and regardless of whether it was well-written, badly written, or even deserved at all by the end. A couple that has no substance or depth and rides too much on getting together rather than actually showcasing their chemistry gets the only "good" ending in the entire season, and it could not be more undeserved in my opinion. And hence why I do not support this pairing anymore.

Good start, TheEpicDestroyer. Yes, you'll be needing more than one blogpost to tackle everything that is wrong with this season, I'm afraid. X_X

I think All-Stars is an excellent example of how NOT to write your show. Would you agree?
