[@worstspytf2824]

The voice actors didn't even know when the episodes where coming out :/ I just hope the ideas that season 3s potential creation being based of the American streaming numbers isn't actually true otherwise the chance for this to be a trilogy like the original island is screwed due to no fault of the show itself.

[@sammuelrochacavalcante7298]

I really hope it's a similar situation to Everybody Still Hates Chris the main reason the cartoon was greenlit was because of the popularity of the original series in Brazil but considering that a similar thing happened with Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, The Looney Tunes Show and even Ben 10 Omniverse in wich all of them were good shows on CN with good ratings everywere except in the States (mainly because they had better and more timeslots) and were all cancelled with Mystery Inc. having plans for a season 3 and Ben 10 having plans for a season 9 and 10 (it would be awesome and hilarious if the last show of the classic continuity had 10 seasons with 10 episodes each😂)

[@RasmusVJS]

This video just gave me a eureka moment! I think the reason why MKulia wasn't given a label by the end, is in hopes of a season 3, they could do something with the relationship. Otherwise, not making it clear whether their relationship is a romantic one or not seems unnecessary.

[@bubblybeluga1178]

Actually, Wayne did receive one vote (from himself) in the first episode of the first reboot season. But the sentiment is still there.

[@Cyberspace-st4r]

It was from Raj

[@rEdbrICkmArOOnAUbUrn4975]

Honestly, I kinda like having only one winner. It makes things a lot more simple.

[@nuibaba280]

I disagree. It was fairly simple, everyone could pick who they wanted to win and move on. Priya didn't have an interesting arc to justify her status as the only winner. There's nothing interesting done with it.

[@rEdbrICkmArOOnAUbUrn4975]

@@nuibaba280 I’ll admit that having Priya as the winner of the season probably wasn’t the best choice, but I still stand by my point.

[@Gnadeeer]

The way I see the Ripper and Axel relationship is basically that Ripper in the first season ep 2 was looking to impose himself in the leadership position because he was misogynistic and thought Axel wasn't going to be able to do anything about it , but she did , and that hurt his pride in the moment (causing him continuously bickering with her) , but that basically made him respect her as a person , hence getting a crush on her after seeing her again in season 2. Axel , basically didn't care about him , until he did something that probably no boy has ever done before for her (due to her having a rough exterior) , so that sparked it. Both were alone for a long time , so there was a LOT to unload once they got together, and that explains them sucking face all the time as well. I hated Ripper in the first season , but I don't think this was forced , Courtney and Scott was a forced one for me

[@nuibaba280]

Raj was *always* the brighter of the two. Raj was the one that corrected Wayne in the "why would you name a wig Jerry?" scene. S2 just showed it again.

[@Ifrockswereedibleideatem]

I think their dynamic is pretty much raj is more brains while Wayne is more brawns of the two

[@langdonledwig3734]

Raj is still pretty dumb

[@donutmaxgaming9674]

[@jojoeo18]

31:48 Wayne actually received 1 vote from Raj on season 1 episode 1 because they didn’t understand how the voting worked

[@luciluv1402]

I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKE RIPAXEL YAYAYAYAY

[@nuibaba280]

I heavily disagree with your take on Ripaxel. Only Ripper benefited from the relationship as he had a lot of spotlight to make a well rounded character and the romance primarily focused on his perspective. Axel had no such thing and the only thing she has now is her identity as "Ripper's girlfriend" she didn't have a single friendship or dynamic.

[@Ifrockswereedibleideatem]

She technically had a really small one with nichelle but they must have forgotten it (like how they forgot chase’s love for pizza in the one scene)

[@nuibaba280]

@@Ifrockswereedibleideatem I wouldn't really count that since Nichelle doesn't even talk in those scenes. I expected their friendship to exist in S2 but y'know... S2 is fraudulent lol.

[@sunsetoverdrive2when321]

And another point to your counterclaim: Ripxel still did the exact same thing Geoff and Bridgett did in terms of having the kiss offs regress their character. Mainly Axel who was supposed to be the head charge of the game and takes no one's shit but now would rather be smearing chocolate on Ripper instead. What makes it worse was that she was supposed to have this development to be nicer and yet we didn't even go to that and probably never will.

[@HanleyBrook-pz9iw]

I will never forgive what they did to axel for the sake of ripaxel, they could've made it work too... but its fucking horrendously written and feels like axel is being used as "proof" Ripper became a better person

[@crpalstuck2966]

I straight up forgot that they made a season 2 to this reboot

[@joe6185]

Where even is it. I have heard literally no news on all of this. I only even realized s1 had even been made cuz twitter leaks and talking about the eps. I didnt even know there was plans for a s2 or even more?!

[@alexmfs]

​@@joe6185I found it on KZbin lol, sadly it's been taken down now

[@gergelygalvacsy2251]

I agree with your speculation about there not being an alternate ending. I actually think it’s 100% the case. And I am fine with it. Sometimes it’s just better to have one canon ending and not have to work around mentioning the winner in the future. There were previous instances (season 3 and 4 imo) where it really felt like the writers had one specific character in mind they wanted to win, and only made the other endings out of obligation.

[@nuibaba280]

Problem is, Priya is pointless as an only winner since it did nothing for her story. She even validated the parents S1 built up for us to root against.

[@EggBeter]

To be fair with the sequel season thing it is 1 of 2 seasons to be split into 2 halves, I find it more weird that 1 season is all stars + PI, these ones may be very linked but I do prefer that to the season 5 approach

[@nasirmcgill]

This video is so well put together. 🔥

[@VincentGranbois]

Good Season, Shitty Season Name though. Why would they use the same name from Season 1? We don’t need three seasons of the franchise with the same name, two is enough! They made 26 episodes Season 5 split in two parts and names them: All-Stars & Pahkitew Island But why not name the seasons for Season 6?

[@lighbuldchannel8131]

Well, season 1 and 2 are the same 26 episode season so i guess that is why

[@VincentGranbois]

@@lighbuldchannel8131 They did 26 episode Season 5 split in two parts, but with different names.

[@RaccoonBroVA]

I just like to think of all 26 of these episodes as 1 big season split into 2 parts. Kinda like Jojo Part 6 being released in 3 sections on Netflix. Just makes the overall package better to me. Though I much prefer this half over the first, mainly due to the elimination order favoring the characters I liked better. Excellent commentary all around! Justice for Mr. Coconut indeed.

I disagree about it outdoing the first season in every way. There's too little interactions in comparison, the romances are forced and Julia being a repeat villain hurt her character: she does everything off screen lmao. I really disliked the writing. The strategy was a joke this season, they have the nerve to boot Axel for "being a threat" while keeping Julia around. Chars were dumbed down to make Julia look good.

[@frogberttheninth]

Didn't Julia win immunity that round though?

[@HanleyBrook-pz9iw]

Season 2 genuinely drove me up the wall with some of its writing decisions. Everything interesting was done off screen and random unnecessary meandering for romance that's blander then eating paper. Oh yeah also so many of the eliminations were just weird, forced and completely out of Character. Ughhh

[@nuibaba280]

[@ZoolBRICKS]

Incredible video premiere

[@PFEANYCS]

31:45 Wayne and Raj voted for each other on day 1 of season 1, so it’s not a perfect no-vote game, but yeah. Wayne is indeed one of 2 multi-season characters to never get voted off the show by the majority of the other players. The only other competitor to match that feat is Lindsay, who voted herself off twice and lost an elimination challenge twice.

[@noah_farmer]

The Facebook group one of the producers said no matter how many years they pass between seasons the characters remain 16

[@PizzaBandit13]

Owen and Noah were confirmed 19 in the Ridonculous race so this would confirm they age

[@worstspytf2824]

People can't get mad about Wayne winning if they like Owen winning, while their obviously different characters, in terms of their place in the season as a whole they both serve the same sort of comic relief dumb and optimistic character that just coasted through by not being a target when there are contestants that did more in the season that would make them more deserving of the prize. Also with the whole 'but season 1 had alt winners' thing, there is so much evidence that Owen canonically won, from his family going into debut because his mom bought the cheese seller when he won only for him to give the 100k away for a chance at 1mil to Gwen saying that she almost won in a confessional at some point to in the very season Wayne was Owen showing up as the season 1 winner cameo and Gwen not even being mentioned in the episode.

[@nuibaba280]

Sure they can. The comparison doesn't work because Owen consistently tried in challenges and had a spotlight on him. Wayne got shafted from S2's horrendous writing, he didn't even get to keep his challenge beast status in S1. S2 is atrocious writing-wise. Especially when they try to do an "everyone loves Wayne" approach without having him talk to characters. We had two seasons to establish this lol.

[@liam6170]

They did also say Owen was a winner in his cameo

[@SophieMe0ws]

"Wayne and Raj change the least between seasons" watch episode 1 or 2 of season one, then watch any episode of season 2, and try to say that again with a straight face wayne and raj were absolutely lobotomized inbetween seasons, wayne especially went from a dude that wasn't the smartest but was a great team leader(likely due to him being the leader of his hockey team) and a pretty competitive dude who tries to win, to being absolutely braindead and useless in every single challenge

[@nuibaba280]

Thank you. People did not pay attention to S1 lol. Wayne was a challenge beast in episode 3, meanwhile he's completely useless and doesn't even bother trying to compete in S2.

[@KittyChibiWaifu]

The thing about them reusing the old cast, I think its a jab at all the reality shows and their spin off shows like Bachelor or 90 day fiance. Bachelor in Paradise is NOTORIOUS for this, I was so taken back by all the returning people who I didnt even know who were. It was jarring. It was even a gimmick if a person they didnt know at all came on the island, they would call them out for it like who da fuck is this like its the norm for RETURNERS to be there. I will say as a TDI veteran, I can say its jarring to us seeing this bc we aren't used to this setup just like I wasnt for Bachelor in Paradise XD Maybe it's just me overthinking and they were just lazy -shrugs- lol

Unfortunately, I disagree with everything in this video and for me this season is only slightly better than All Stars. I don't like either the winner (Wayne, just like Owen, didn't deserve to win), romantic relationships (Caleb and Priya are annoying, Ripper and Axel are terrible, Raj and Bowie are very boring), friendships (Julia and MK's friendship started from scratch and season 1 was completely forgotten), character development (Damian's development jumped from series to series, where in one series he became braver, and in another he became DJ 2.0; the development of MK and Nichelle happened offscreen; Wayne did not receive any development after the elimination of Raj, which makes his victory look undeserved at all; Ripper's development was good, before the start the relationship with Axel, because these relationships spoiled both Ripper and Axel; Millie, Chase, Emma and Scary Girl are characters who could have received a storyline with development, but they were abandoned in favor of Priya, Zee and Julia), Julia is Mary Sue (or is it a lazy scenario) and eliminate order (Priya, Ripper, Julia, Zee and Bowie had to leave before merge; Scary Girl, Nichelle, Chase and Emma were supposed to leave after merge). I also don't understand why the lack of drama is a plus. This is a Total Drama and there should be a lot more of this drama.

This season is pretty bad imo. Way too much missed potential. If I wrote this season, I would make a few changes: Team Rat Face would have Axel, Caleb, Damien, Millie, Nichelle, Priya, Ripper and Wayne. Team Skunk Butt would have Bowie, Chase, Emma, Julia, MK, Raj, Scary Girl and Zee. I would still make Rixel canon, and I would get Wayne to help him (considering he had to find out Raj was gay and he liked Bowie). Considering the time skip, I would make Ripper more mature, because his dad sent him to military school. It would make his character more interesting with Axel, since it would help him follow her orders. The elimination order I would want: 16)Scary Girl 15)Chase 14)Millie 13)Emma 12)Zee MERGE 11)Bowie 10)Axel 9)Nichelle 8)Priya 7)MK / 6)Raj 5)Ripper 4)Damien 3)Julia 2)Caleb 1)Wayne I will make more things, but this is just the structure I would start with. I might change the eliminations too.
