User blog comment:TotalDramaNaruto/Fresh's take on Mike/@comment-1037137-20140213084845

WHAT is their major malfunction?

Okay, I'm not exactly entirely against the angle they were going for. I mean, since it is a cartoon, it's kind of nuts to expect total realism. And this multiple personality angle didn't have to be all bad, I mean I have seen people who do like these alternate personas and hey I like them too for the most part, but the character DOES have a struggle with these personas occupying his life, so that struggle needs to be taken more seriously. He's not just comedy relief, no that's a real struggle that parallels the struggles of real-life MPD individuals. Not only is the literal label of "The Multiple Personality Disorder" crass, as in meaning a human being is apparently a disorder (That's like calling a person "subhuman" or "inferior", isn't it?), and not only is his struggle with a very literal inner demon played so pathetically in this fifth season, but are they actually trying to excuse how badly they underplayed it? The anticlimax it produced? The enormous WTF his entire TDAS arc amounted to? The unfortunate implications that litter the trail left by a blasted "reset button" at the end? Mental disorders do NOT work that way! They don't just go away just because you decide you want them to, they're a real struggle for real people and while this definitely is not the first portrayal of its type to emerge on cartoons, presumably past examples were played more effectively..........it does need to acknowledge that the character is facing a major struggle in constantly being the host of these alternate personas and that these do constantly interfere with his normal functions. Mal himself being the most obvious culprit considering he's evil. They actually are trying to defend how horrendously unbalanced this was and how weak this subplot played out, and how anticlimactic it ultimately was?

Fresh, you continue to prove your increasing failure to understand your audience and your obligations and responsibilities as television producers. Either you reevaluate your approach or let somebody more competent take over. I don't know, but for bloody sake, get your act together.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.
