User blog comment:Thedramamaster/Top 5 most overhated characters/@comment-5231983-20160722205341

Great blog, dramamaster. Very well-written and well-thought out points. Since you clearly put effort into  it, I'll do the same.

''In real life and even it this show sometimes people time to act different to impress their loved one. In fact acting like this is what put him on my top 3 favorites in the first place.''

It's even a trope. The "What Love Does to People" trope. And let's face it, Noah handled a crush/romance MUCH better than Lindsay (in TDI), Trent (in TDA), Duncan and Courtney (TDA), Duncan again (TDWT) or Dave and Sky (TDPI). It really was a cute crush, and well handled by the writers (except one episode).

But the reason people hate it is because it made Noah OOC and it killed NoCo.

To be quite honest, I only thought people shipped NoCo ironically (like the Mr. Coconut love), I had no idea it was a real ship.

''First off, he cheated on Courtney. Personally I would have done the same thing as he did because, he told Courtney he was leaving her for Gwen, she still would have gone ballistic.''

Ok I'm sorry but this is something I disagree with. Cheating, no matter what the circumstances, isn't okay. It's unfaithful and a horrible thing to do to your partner. Let's flip the situation – if Courtney cheated on Duncan with another male from the show, it would have been much worse for Courtney than it is for Duncan. By the fans of the show, she would have been called a w**re or a sl**, and it wouldn't make sense because she's shown genuine love to Duncan before. Similar case with Duncan, why does he deserve less hate because Courtney was "ballistic"? At the end of I See London..., she explains that she's only angry at him because he left and she was worried about him. That's really no reason to cheat. He should have maturely broken up with her (he always claims that he's straight with people, plot hole much?) and then hooked up with Gwen.

Ok, he was but again, blame Chris and the writers for that.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I used to hate Courtney and Duncan both, until I realized this. This is the reason I adore all of the love triangle - I know they're being manipulated for drama by Chris. Chris DID break the lock on purpose so Tyler would see the kiss. Anyway, my close friend Chewy on this wiki made me like Duncan again and after rewatching TDI (no doubt his best season) I love him even more.

''Personally I think RBW caption for her in his rankings. It you haven't seen them the caption was; "She stood up for herself! We must hate her!"''

Yay, a shoutout :D I agree with Sky's, although IIRC she's not that hated aside from a few dedicated haters.

''He's bland. No, he's not, his MPD was what made him a really cool character. ''

Ok you thinking he's a cool character is your own opinion but Mike really is bland. His multiple personalities are nothing more than a gimmick, making him quite possibly the most gimmicky character in Total Drama history, even more than Max or Leonard. I'll admit I like Manitoba Smith, Vito and Chester, they've had their moments, but what about godplaying Svetlana and the oh-so-horrible Mal? Besides his personalities, Mike actually is a bland character. The only way to describe him without his personalities is "nice." Not to mention after his personalities disappear, we're only left with bland Mike who's basically a Mary Sue now (no I don't know or care what the male version of a Mary Sue is).

I thought it was cute and one of the few good things about TDROTI.

I personally preferred Dakota and Sam's plotline, mostly because this love story led to another love triangle, this one wasn't even remotely fun to watch (at least the TDWT love triangle was something new), and it was rather repetitive. New personality, Zoey gets mad. Not to mention it antagonized one of the best characters from that season.

Overall very well-written thoughts, thanks for sharing. I like to read these type of intelligent blogs and while I did disagree with some points, that's okay because I agreed with the majority.
