Total Drama Revenge of the Island THEN vs NOW!

[@propandapower7633]

Additionally, it makes more sense for Lighting to spend an entire season thinking a girl is a guy if her name is Jo, whereas it would’ve been a bit of a stretch for Lightning to think “Mary” was a boy all season.

[@propandapower7633]

@JoGeJo maybe, but I still think Jo was a safe call.

It’s kinda interesting how diverse the Total Drama cast was before that was really a thing people pushed hard for in television. I appreciate that tho

[@hazimhamid4992]

Not only that, the body type diversity is also one of the reasons this show is awesome. Like, some female characters have a slim hourglass figure, while some have curves and some have muscles. The same thing goes to the male characters

[@creamycream7081]

i honestly like diversity more in old shows (like magic school bus) than new ones because it feels more earnest (not saying diversity in newer shows is bad, or even ingenuine, just that sometimes "token representation" is incredibly egregiious)

[@maude.]

^ these three comments are cool.

[@thetwistedsamurai]

It makes it more... natural. Most shows nowadays, you can FEEL them trying to be "woke" and "inclusive". This show NEVER felt that way. It always felt natural af.

[@sdebord8707]

I think this is because older shows that had diverse casts felt it was important, but now shows use diversity as a marketing tactic

[@softvoicedboyfriend4031]

[@zeospark9715]

Another thing interesting about Brick is that, as seen in his concept art, he was actually meant to been an antagonist who was a lot more harsh and blunt toward the other campers. However, they pretty much gave that personality trait to Jo instead.

[@cxttyboy]

Also Zoey looks pretty antagonistic-ey

Btw Old Scott/Brick’s “necklace” is actually dog tags. They’re basically military identification. Makes me wonder if Scott was going to be a military guy like Brick ended up being.

[@joemancool]

Could be he was going to be a reservist guy or something that green was the old undershirt to the CAF army uniform. Who knows though could just be a coincidence

[@rockcandyplanet]

Honestly the change for diversity really helped the show for me when I was little. Me and Mike aren’t the same ethnicity (my family is Mexican) but seeing a character with the same skin tone as me made him really special for younger me and probably helped him be one of my favorite total drama characters point blank. Also makes it feel more like an actual reality show where it feels like they actually picked a bunch of people from different backgrounds from the pool of auditions instead of pre-making them you know

Here is something you forgot to mention, during the development of Revenge of the Island, the season was supposed to come out in 2011, there is actually a teaser trailer made back in 2011, it was delayed because of the Fukushima earthquake that happen in Japan the crew made a few changes such as removing mention radioactive to toxic.

[@davidkonevky7372]

I really love what they did with dakota, the reason she's so iconic is because she always looked like a paris hilton rip-off. Her beta design was cute but not really her style, i'm glad they used it to make the zoey we know and love.

[@SwaggyG_2102]

Maybe CA Scott was supposed to be like Brick but a bit meaner. Think of it like putting Heather, Duncan, and Brick all into one character and giving that person Scott's features.

[@atriox7221]

I imagine that early scot with dog tags and a dark green tank top as a smarter, more psychopathic and manipulative, more physically intimidating villain who takes the role as the main antagonist by a long shot, would have been cold but probably too skilled of a villain that would block out the image of smaller antagonists in the season.

[@ThomasTHEONEANDONLY]

I think Brick was meant to be the main antagonist looking at his concept design and Scott was meant to be the army cadet.

Molly is wonderful I want to see this design in the future with Original/Glass Zoey I wonder what their personality would be like I remember reading that Dawn's voice actress auditioned to voice Molly and a "Zoey"

[@JAMPD3]

I also thought that because B didn't say much/last too long, they could've used that older/OG design as a self-reference and homage to how far they've come as a series

out there theory, scott and brick original concepts were switched, with Brick being the one from the out in the country and scot the military brat then, during production, they inverted the thing with the updated design, lowered the brat-side of military brat and pushed directly to the country of the final version (and all-star) of scott

[@scorn-52]

If scotts og design made it to the final release, he would remind me of current Brick

[@venomgaming7014]

My theory: beta brick was going to be the main villain for ROTI while beta Scott was going to be a military cadet. Just my theory, but I think it’s plausible. Note how beta Scott had the dog-tag necklace that final-design brick has.

[@Nexiusify]

I honestly think most of the new designs just look so much more refined and ready to go. Old Molly looks kinda scene and I like that idea.
