User blog:Tomas T/My characters ranking - Generation 3

So I decided to take a break from the eliminations blogs and do something that almost everyone do but I didnt: ranking blog. But because ranking 52 characters in one blog is too much, I prefer to do it per generation. So this blog I will rank the PI generation, next one will be about ROTI generation and the last with the original generation. Keep in mind that their placemant is not by how they did in the competition, its about how I like them as a character.

Note: this blog is representing only my opinions and thoughts.

So lets begin:

14. Leonard
Not only I think Leonard is the worst character in this season/generation, I think he is the worst character in TD franchise (including the RR and TDR). What the **** was in the writers mind to create such a horrible character? a guy who think he is a wizard? really? why wasting a slot on him? he is so annyong, with his look, with his speaking why, with his personality. Everything about Leonard or realte to leonard are annoying. You know what, maybe he is my most hated chartoon character, EVER!!! I was so shocked to find out that Cle Bennet is his voice actor. From Chef/Dj to him? sorry about how redical I was about him, but this character is so annoying I could not stop mayself. I promis you, I won't be like that in the other character here.

13. Beardo
Leonard is so awful that a character who was only in one episode is better than him. But this character, Beardo, isnt good either. I find him as annoying but there is something goofy and nice about him. I don't know how much potantial he really has, but making him this season silent wasn't good idea. All he does is beatboxing (thing that Harold did way better) and sound effects (thing that Izzy did way better). The only redeeming quality about him that he accepted his elimination and left with honor ("It was nice to meet all of you").

12. Amy
Amy should be thankful to Tammy. Tammy's existence prevent Amy from being the female character that I hate the most. Amy is special in very bad way: she is the only character in the franchise who never showed any humanity or emotion (and Mal but he is not a real person so...). All the things she does is bullying and abusing her own twin sister. usually I love the mean girls of this franchise (Heather, Courtney, Jo and even Blaineley) but Amy's cruel personality represented in so shallow what without any human emotion that make me dislike her a lot. The reason that I found her better than Beardo and Leonard is that I think she can be fixed so easliy. Just adding more personal backstory, make her more strategic and motivated and less bullying her sister and we can get a decent antagonist for a (possible) futre season.

11. Rodney
Rodney, the guy who look like the secret love child of Dj and Scott. He got a lot of hate, too much. I understand why a lots dislkie him, but I dont think he is that bad. Yes tha running gag of his gets old very fast, but I think that by the end of the day, he is just nice guy who want to find any love. and lacking any female figure in his personal life makes his goal hard to reach. Actually, when I saw the opening for Pi for the first time, I was so sure that Amy will be the main antagonist and Rodney will be her main ally (like Lindsay was for Heather and Tyler for Alejandro).

10. Ella
Im pretty suprised how low Ella is. When I watched PI for the first time I really loved her but only in the rewatch I realize she isnt that great. She really is not bad and in fact I really like her. The main flaw of her character is she is too naive and lack of self awerness. Sugar said multiple time she hates her and does not want her friendship. And yet Ella did not realize it. She thoutght Dave is in love with her when he helped her to put her shoe just because it was "fairy tale moment". the lack of self awerness, the naivty and the clulessness did not bring Ella to any point. Lindsay, like Ella, was naive, was clueless and she lacked of self awerness. But unlike Ella Lindsay's characer get to a point when she realize how people used her own flaws to fool her and by the end of the day Lindsay breaking free from her flaws to prove herself. But Ella never realize how clueless she is and she left the show the same way she came. Adding some minimal character development could really help her.

9. Dave
Dave Dave Dave if you stayed in the end of the season the same Dave you started, you could be in the top six. I really liked him at first. Dave is the "sole sane" guy in his team (while Sky is the sole sane girl) and unlike former cases of sole sanes (like Bridgette in TDI or Noah in TDWT) Dave is aware that he is one of only three sanets character in this cast and we see him suffering from this (unlike Bridgette who saw the positive in anyone or Noah who just ignor it). However halfway in the season Dave tunred to be a male version of Sierra of being obbsessed for Sky and desperate. We get to a point when he bag Sky to be his girlfriend. And than in the final episode, while we are supposed to feel bad for him, he turned insane, try to kill both Sky and Shawn and become the final antagonist of the season (I wish the writer just stuck with the stracture of main antagonsit and secondry antagonist instead replacing antagonist every four episodes...). The reason is is placed higther than Ella is because there is development in Dave. Not positive one but at least we are getting to some point. But I wish that in case of future season (somehow) Dave will return to his sense and will end his story with Sky in good way that respect both of them.

8. Sugar
If I have a TD opinion with drastic change, is my opinion about Sugar. In the past I used to hate her so much. She was my most hated female (and became the 2nd most hated female after Tammy's creation). But after talking with some friends and few rewatch I noticed how my opinion about her has changed. In fact im not hate her anymore. and I can say that I even like her. Yes she was horrible person sometimes but I love the TD antagonist (most of them). Sugar is way more than she pretend to be. Smarter than she looks. She is the first person this season who though about strategy. She knew Skave is big threat so preventing Skave from happening was her best way. and also she was pretty good player. And I think she was hillirous character. All these random moments of her. Like eating the tarantula, shipping Max and Scarlett, singing the juggy chunks song. Is there is character who is overhated, its Sugar.

7. Topher
So after we finish with the two most controversial characters from this season its time for... the 3rd most controversial character of this season (YAY!!!). Topher not many liked by many people and I kinda understand from what they are coming from. But I really like him. There is something really cute about his adorkbale moments with Chris and yet it goes really well with his mean side during the episodes with Topher as the antagonist (alongside Scax duo). his manirism were enternating and his storyline with Chris was cringey and yet it was somehow enjoybale to see Chris suffering from his own Chris. I think Topher can be good future antagonist (but still, I prefer Amy or Jo to be new main antagonist). Yes Topher had only one storyline but we can expect it from a short season character who eliminated one episode before the teams merged.

6. Sammy
Sammy is maybe the character who need to get the most empathy. She is a good person with horrible luck. Living with awful evil twin sister who abuse her all the time. I love Sammy because there is major developemt with her and her characters give us important messege: people need to stand up for themself, but sometimes it could happened only with a support. After Sammy got the support of Jasmine, Sammy did her revenge on Amy. She still had her own struggles but at least she say the last word. Sammy is great character with rushed storyline. But still, I really like her and relate to her. If her storyline was longer, she could find herself in the top 3. But it did not happened so for now, unless we get new proper season (just Sign the petition) Sammy will enjoy her 6th spot.

Wow we are getting to the final five. And its the canon final five but with Scarlett instead of Sugar. Wow.

5. Max
Every season there is the suprsing character. A character who I thouth I would dislike (or at least I wouldnt care about) but eventually I find myself love this person. Good example is Anne Maria. I knew from the start she is based on Snooki and yet I found myself love this character. Same thing goes with Max. When I saw his desig and read about his role in the season I already thought I will hate him. But I was wrong in so many levels. This guy is hillirous. I enjoyed his interactions with Scarlett, his lines, his voice and talking. Maybe bizzare at first but by the end of the day Max is the most original and refreshing comic relif in this franchise. seriusly, his conffesions were the best in this season. What really makes me sad about him that I know that if there will be a miricle and we get new season, Max most likley will be a fodder who eliminated fast.

4. Shawn
Shawn is one of my favorite finalists. In fact Shawn is the only male finalists that I actually love the ending (Alejandro is the best male finalist but his ending is horrible. Should be banned forever). Shawn was enjoybale characters. He has hidden skills, great teamplayer and behind the zombi phobia, there is really nice person. Shawn easily could be in my top 3 or 2. The reason he could not pass the 4th place just because there is no real development about his backstory. There is a development in the season itself when he realize there are more important things to think about than his zombie phobia. But for a short season its not enoutgh. And we never get any reason for Shawn's fear. Just giving him a backstory and began his character development earlier could bring him to highter place. But overall, a character that I enjoyed a lot. I just wish the writers were turned down his zombie jock because for some people it got old too fast.

so the top 3 are all females. Just imagin to yourself the canon final three are Scarlett as main antagonist while Sky and Jasmine are finalist. We need an all female finanale after ROTI.

3. Scarlett
I think she is maybe one of the best character in this season and its mainly because her writing. There are clues about her true self, and yet she just confused and fool everyone. In the first episode she felt she need to rise her hand up to talk, making herself look like a shy girl with low selfe confidence. But slowly slowly she began to loos her sanity and patient. At first it was with the fact she was ready to help Max with his evil schemes. Than she shows some bad attitude, behaving like she is superior for everyone.than her plan to get rid of Max, threating and scaring Topher. She really fooled me for most of the episodes. I had some feeling she will turn out as some kind of mean person but not exepctet to complete psycho. I think the writers did great job with this character and I glad she was in the season. The only reason Scarlett can't pass the top 3 is just because she used her evil mind not to get ahead in the game. She used it for blackmailed. So it prevent her winning.

So Scarlett did not won. You know who did not won too but should have won? KEIINO. They were my favorite last eurovision and I still sing their song. "Spirit in the Sky" was the best song this year. And also it has the name of the next character...

2. Sky
People calling her "The new Zoey", people calling her "manipulative", people calling her "B****". But for me, she is the most relatable character from this season and the most realistic. She is a girl with big dreams and she want to do anything to make them come true. And its a great massenge for everyone. She is not perfet, she has flaws, she did mistakes. All this makes her a relatable and realistic characters. The writers did good job to show she is not perfect. She really liked Dave, she did not wanted distractions but her crush on Dave tried to prevent her to win. She cant control her feelings and this is a problem that almost any human being felt. That for some reasons the feelings for other people can sabotage things. Sky showed she really balanced character, in fact I think she is the most balanced character in the entire franchise (yes Bridgette and Dj, even more than you two). The balance about her is the thing that really made me enjoy from her character and root for her since the begining to the end. Yes she did mistakes, but everyone do mistakes. this what made her one of the most realistic character. And I really have to give the writers credit about creating a balanced character after two seasons in a row that the word "balance" can't be say about anything and anyone.

If there are some Sky fans here, or people who prefer her ending, please leave a comment. I really want to know that Im not the only one here who love Sky and/or prefer her ending.

1. Jasmine
Some people say that Jasmine had weird desigh. I don't think so. Her desigh what make her great character. She very high and strong. But isnide, she is a sweet girl who want to be loved by others. She is an outcast, and yet she was the leader of the team and nobody even though she isn't good for this role. An outcast leader, thing that never happened in TD before. She gave Sammy her support to stand up for herself, she had great love story with Shawn and it did not felt that one of them is the "dream pixy manic girl/boy" of each other. She great leader, great player with bad luck to be on the infrior team in a tv show with wrtiers who can't balance the teams. Jasmine was strong, and emontional, she was leader of a team who acceptet her, and yet she felt lonley and outcast. Honestly, I think that out of all TD character in the franchise, Jasmine deserve to win the most (alongside Lindsay who eliminated unfairly all the time and Jo who was close to win but the writers dumbed her down). And of course we saw her weakness, learn that even people like her have some fears and weakness (See this Zoey?).

Conclusion
I think this season and this generation get too much hate. I love the season (even more than TDA and TDROTI) and the cast is great. The only bad characters here I can find are Leonard, Beardo and Amy (who I really think should return). But the rest are great. This is why I wanted to begin with this cast, to give them the credit they deserve.

So what do you think about my list? agree, disagree, share your feeling in the comments :)
