Rodrick’s an interesting character when it comes to his relationship with the fandom. He’s not much more than the typical big brother bully and a dumbass slacker, but somehow he got a huge fanbase. My guess is that it’s because of his role in the movies, but I could be wrong.

[@takomasmith8246]

The book character was interesting on his own, but the movie probably added to that fire. People could’ve loved his looks and comedic timing. I wouldn’t mind a diary.

[@quasar7951]

[@takomasmith8246]

Oh yeah the whole “Diary of a” has became a whole popular million dollar, iconic kid book franchise. The Books, spin off books, movies AND TV SHOWS! I think a Roderick diary would be amazing to add to that franchise as well.

[@justanotherinternetwiseguy8018]

makes me wonder if jeff kinney is going to continue this whole spinoff book series with other characters. I know i can see one more book and that being from holly hills perspective but that would be about it from Greg's classmates and friends. i know fregley and chirag aren't really his friends so that's kinda why i feel like it will end with holly, but i can see the series continue with the rest of his family.
