User blog comment:Epic~00/Character Appreciation - Week 45: Sierra/@comment-30567301-20171107034103

i really enjoy sierra's portrayals. she's easily one of the funniest and over-the-top characters on par with the likes of izzy and sugar. i think what defines sierra as a character for me is that she's so intriguing, not just on the basis of her obsession with cody, but how she willingly wastes her life hopelessly fondling over some reality tv show (and likely others). it makes for an interesting case, but not one i'm willing to explore if it takes away from her top tier humor.

in total drama world tour, she's obviously a deranged lunatic and as much as i'd like to unexcuse the behavior of others around her, it wouldn't say i would've reacted any differently myself to a girl who sniffs someone's shoes so much it goes down her nose. however, there's something really charming about a fangirl who devotes herself to saving her stalkee from any situation they may find themselves in, and i really do think that sierra's intentions are pure despite how psychotic she actually is. she works as a charicature as well due to how fun and upbeat her interactions work. i mean, even her minor interactions with the dull noah and the beigefully neutral alejandro, can contribute a few laughs.

despite fan opposition, i actually find total drama all-stars a delightful take on sierra. like yeah, she's determined to win for cody, but what would we rather see, a to-the-books storyline, or a psychotic havoc bringer? it's pretty obvious she didn't even care about cameron, she just can't contain her obsessive affection of certain things, and when those things aren't there, she has to fill the gap. which brings up further conspiracies, what if she doesn't care about cody at all? what if this is all some coping mechanism for some unknown ambiguity? well, i'm probably taking it too far and reading too far in the lines, but it's very interesting to try and comprehend the purpose of sierra's actions.

while i do find her very complex and interesting, i do have to point out that her comedy is probably the reason why she's one of my favorites. like stated time and time again, her outrageous behavior just sustains me and makes her a for-sure standout whenever she's on screen. there's not much more to put here aside from her amusing antics never fail to be funny, in my opinion.

as much as people want every character to get development, i'm really fine with sierra staying almost the same as she is-- this doesn't mean she can't make it far and have an impact; but i don't want them to touch something that doesn't need any changing. of course she deserves to develop a bit, but not to the point it changes her character to a noah-esque figure that loses what made them a distinctive and enjoyable character in the first place (though noah was never one anyways but what's the tea...). however, i wouldn't mind a sierra realization journey, if done right and still giving us the sierra we all know and if we don't have awful opinions, love.

best season: Total Drama World Tour

best episode: Can't Help Falling In Louvre

best moment: her entire song in paris

most likely to: be neglected the chance to rise to the occasion again and be one of the the main focuses of a season.

where i'd take this character next: finalist. td7 (or 6 if you believe in the half season crap).
