Not gonna lie, I feel like the new seasons were announced solely for the purpose of bringing something to Total Drama fans after shutting down Reunion. I don't know if that's possible with the amount of people that are suppose to be involved, but the timing between the cancelation, the announcement, and today is kinda sus

Yeah I think there's a lot of weight to that theory. I mean, the time between Dramarama's announcement (December 2017) and the first episode (July 2018) was roughly eight months, but they already had been in production for five months (July 2017).

I suppose there's more preproduction work to be done bc they need to develop an entirely new cast + overarching plotlines + challenges.

If not for Reunion, I wonder how long it would've taken them to announce the new seasons

Do you think the new seasons are going to have the 2 different endings based on the countries or will it being on HBO Max will screw it up somehow?

I actually hadn't considered that!

My gut reaction was 'yes' to preserve one of the more unique elements of the original series, but I don't know how it would work feasibly. Maybe as an end-credits scene?? Can HBO Max put out two alternate episodes based on region?

We'll have to wait and see (bro it's been eleven months since the new seasons were announced can you BELIEVE that)

How likely do you think that the TD staff are making/rewriting an episode that has at least one of the Squid Game games in it

um idk how far they are in the writing process, but it would be interesting if Squid Games did influence a challenge or two

Do you ever find it weird how all the characters in a single generation are all the same age? Like yeah I'm sure there's more then twenty-four 16 year-olds in Muskoka, let alone the entirety of Canada, but Geoff and Duncan being the same age as Beth and Cody is something that I can't truly comprehend

And it gets even worse with the following generations. Like, Jasmine, Dave, and Sky are on a whole 'nother psychosocial stage than the rest of the cast. Imagining the twins specifically as freshmen or older is so weird

This isn't as prevalent in gen 4 since the age range is canonically more than 0, but every other season is like Rugrats post-Dil-Pickles with a bunch of babies trying to take care of a baby

lmao it's never really bothered me; irl maturity varies wildly within age groups

Jo and Brick definitely pass as like 20-something tho

Are you into Danganronpa?

If so, what are your favorite characters?

If not, do you think you would have gotten into it if you heard about it around when you started getting into Total Drama?

not really into it anymore, but i have played the games.

from trigger happy havoc, i love kyoko, hina, and makoto in particular! hina and makoto just fit the bill of my favorite type of characters, and i just really related to kyoko.

as for goodbye despair, i loved akane, sonia, and fuyuhiko. i love the Asshole characters who show a warmer side so much, like heather from td, so fuyuhiko was one of my favorites almost immediately after chapter two. for sonia, i myself am interested in true crime and seeing a character being interested in it too made me like her!! she’s just really sweet. and i wrote a whole essay on akane, i just love her.

for killing harmony, i adore majority of the cast but shuichi has a special place in my heart. i just relate to him. A Lot. i also love angie, but she was written so dirty. also keebo!! i love him!! and maki as well and kaede and kaito and

no but i adore the killing harmony cast. i’m not even into danganronpa anymore but i think of drv3 and get so sad because of how attached i am to the cast despite how badly the series is written but that’s another rant for another time

also, side-note! i logged onto tumblr just today and saw this so good timing ANDHSKA

Broke: Trent's paranoia and reliance on superstitions and luck ironically backfired on him because he lost Gwen and was voted off from the show

Woke: Trent's paranoia and reliance on superstitions and luck worked out because Gwen was showing red flags and would have cheated him and cucked Courtney anyways (plus he would have been dating a war criminal)

LMAO mfw your mental disorder saves you from a horrible war criminal

If Cody had never tried being a weird fuck in Jamaica, Gwen would have never been friends with Courtney, but she would have also never been in the confessional and had the chance of making out with Duncan. There's also the possibility that Cody's suddden resurgence of simpining/harassment is due to trying to find an excuse to get away from Sierra. The butterfly effect is an interesting phenomenon, isn't it?

Indeed. I think she would've been friends with Court anyways (the bird poop incident was likely only one of several instances that brought them closer together) but damn, society would've been fixed if Tyler had refused to take that photo of Cody next to a sleeping Gwen
