I don’t really like how they did Gordon’s character in tmdgc but I also wouldn’t say his character went back to D1 Gordon tbh

Like D1!Gordon was a winning-obsessed asshole who said “kids are barely human” and very much hated coaching out of disdain and his ( somewhat valid) bad memory associations with Hockey.

That’s not who tmdgc!Gordon is. He never says anything like “kid aren’t human” ( he says he doesn’t like kids and hates hockey but like that’s...it?? iirc?) The very first thing he does is tell Evan he should give his mom a break and hints to Alex to steal from the Hawk!Ducks ala ( im not helping you but I am) by episode 2 he’s helping Nick with his crush on the cocoa girl. By episode one he’s cheering for Alex to skate ( because she talked about liking it and maybe he remembers what enjoying a hobbie was like) He’s not obssesed with winning or with his past or showing people up ( “always go for the W” “I haven’t lost a single case!” ) with anything he just mostly wants to sleep and be left alone.

This just isn’t who D1 Gordon ( pre Charlieand Hans putting him in his place) ( or even D2! Gordon) is.

He’s changed from D3!Gordon yes ( because losing your job the closest thing you have as family and having the one thing that let your reclaim joy for the thing you love taken from you ...does that.) but he’s Also different from D1! and D2!Gordon. The changes that happened in those two movies I might even say are stil there it’s just there are now Also changes from what happened between D3 and Game Changers.

#gordon bombay #the mighty ducks game changers #tmdgc #i know hes gone so this probably doesnt matter but this has beenin my head since s1 tbh #there is!Character development arguably through the series but aside from that #TMDGC!Gordon is just Tired of trying and failing #he doesnt want to win at all costs or try something new ( like d1 and d2) he just wants to sleep all day and try not to go broke #i do think its cheap writing to like make him the dissilusioned one Again ( which i feel is why the comparison gets made so much)#like i do love him but the narrative saying 'sike he doesnt get to be happy' was....mean and it hurt and felt like it could have been-#-avoided but also he's not! Regressed to factory settings?#he Has changed from d1to d2 ( i dont count d3 bc he was barely there and all he did was accept a job and win his kids scholarships #and then defend his kids scholarships so like...)#and those changes are still there! Its just that he has also reacted to the Other changes between D3 adn GC #like his character is very much D3 Gordon + All That Everyhting /the blank period #...anyways lets see how long this stays up bc i hate posting opinions lmao #but of course it would be about him that i break that rule for #acey speaks!#he doesnt really change from the end of d2 to d3 bches finally at the end of his development ( or we thought)
