Total DramaRama - Are Things What They Seem?

Welcome to a new installment of Shake Talks!

Today, I've decided to talk about the new Total DramaRama.

With 2 episodes leaked, we have gotten a preview of what the next phase of the Total Drama franchise. As we all know, these episodes are extremely wacky. Wackier than usual.

Flying Toddlers? The daycare being destroyed? Chef going Godzilla on us?!

These things have got me thinking, why is this happening? It obviously isn't real. It's just comedy, if you can call it that. Then I remembered a theory from the popular 90s kid show "Courage the Cowardly Dog."

In the theory, it states that the main protagonist, Courage, is clearly imagining the monsters that he faces each episode. This got me thinking...

Could the same thing apply to the cast of Total DramaRama?

Now, it's just a theory, and we only have 2 episodes to go off by, but I just want to get this out there. The toddlers at Daycare Drama are 4 years old with plenty of creative imagination. They could be imagining all tons of crazy things happening on a day to day basis. The small, red ball went crazy in Venthalla. It was able to go all the way to space and knock down 3 satellites and a UFO. Duncan is able to require Chef's eyeball, and replace it with a marble. Owen flying through the vents, the power ball, the destruction of the daycare. The kids imagined this ball as a greater entity than it really is. The ball, in reality, must be very bouncy for the children to imagine it this way. Chef's eyeball? Using a white ball as pretend.

The vault is most likely a drawer. Vents? Ehh, that could be real or just those tubes they have at playgrounds.

We could claim a lack of continuity within the show, but there's something that tells us there might be some sort of continuity.

Courtney's doll.

She found the toy in Episode 1, and is seen with it in Episode 2. Clearly, there is some sort of continuity in this world.

I believe we have to be in the mindset of these 4 year olds to understand their world.

In Duck Duck Juice, Chef tells the kids of his favorite morning drink. When Izzy and Jude drink the entire cup, they start bouncing off the walls, flying. They are overloaded with sugar, and are going crazy. What we see is most likely how a child might view this sugar intake, either those affected or the bystanders. Now, second is Chef's transformation. This is quite simple. Chef Hatchet is scary enough for the children as it is, and it must be something else as it is. When Chef gets angry, the children imagine this beast out of fear.

That is all I have to say about my theory for Total DramaRama's slapstick comedy.
