User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Rant on people who use "this character did not develop" as an argument./@comment-5222278-20160520170614

In my opinion, I think whether you think development matters or not in a character all depends on whom the character is. In most cases, good character development for me, just seems like an add-on pro to a contestant. However, all the contestants I can think of that relied on development are actually not popular at all, examples being Ezekiel, Zoey, Dave, The Stepbrothers, etc. Granted there are exceptions such as Shawn or Scarlett, but anyone else who's flat-out relied on development isn't very popular because there's not much else to them, and they're remembered for poor execution.

Keeping in mind what you said, even the most popular of characters don't get much development. Even in the eyes of the show, Duncan and Heather have appeared more than any other character, yet have stayed consistently the same throughout the show. Development is ok, but to say that a character needs it all the time isn't entirely true, especially looking at someone such as Izzy or the Goths.

That song is lit af.
