User blog:TheDipDap1234/Rant on people who use "this character did not develop" as an argument.

'''Before I start, do you guys know what day it is? That's right! It's '''



Sorry for killing your ears.

Anyways, I have noticed that many people used the "this character did not develop" argument on characters that barely appeared in a season (Katie, Sadie, Taylor, Rodney, Leonard, Staci, etc). This argument didn't annoy me back then... but now it is. It's my second least favorite way to nitpick about a character, with the first being the "overrated" argument.

People have used this argument on characters like Leonard, Amy, Owen, etc. Mostly on those characters that were eliminated early. Need I remind people that this is an animated REALITY SHOW? Which means every episode a character will be gone, and most of the first eliminated characters won't get any development. Because it's literally impossible to give a character who only appeared in like 5 episodes development. Yeah sure, it's somewhat possible, but only if the main cast is short and every episode would be 40 minutes long like the real Survivor. But Total Drama isn't. I have no idea why are people bashing on Tammy for having no development, when it was impossible for het to get any in the first place. In a cast of THIRTY SIX characters and only appeared for 2 episodes (40 minutes in total) it's hard to give anyone any storyline or anything. Total Drama is not Steven Universe or Avatar or Adventure Time where characters can appear whenever the writers want to.

And let's be honest, you don't dislike a character because he didn't develop. That's just a stupid way to make your points larger or to nitpick. Look, the Goths were amazing characters with a large fanbase, but did they have any real development? Izzy is another character with a large fanbase, did she get development? No. A character doesn't need to have development in order for us to like her. We just like characters because we either relate to them a lot or just simply find them funny and entertaining. If you hated Sadie, you didn't hate her because she had no development. You hated her because she was boring or annoying. Same with characters like Staci, Taylor or Mary.

Look, Ezekiel is my least favorite character in the show. And He did develop in World Tour yet a still hate him. Why? Because he's annoying! Rodney is another character that I hate with 0 development, but I only hate him because he was ANNOYING! Heck, the Stepbrothers, 2 characters with actual development are one of my least favorite characters. Why? Because they were ANNOYING!

And in RR's case, this is was just the first season of RR. Remember TDI? The season where half of the cast barely did anything? What was Tyler before TDWT? A boring but sometimes funny character with no development and a small fanbase. I can say the same with Noah or Justin, Beth or even Cody. Just look at how popular they are now thanks to appearing in another season. Maybe Tammy will develop in the future. Maybe Mary has a dark childhood that will be explored in another season. Who knows.

This is just a flat argument that is used to nitpick and nothing more. Now if you excuse me, I have to go to a doctor bc my ears hurt after listening to that song.
