#only Julia is his good ex😭😭😭

[soft-persephone]

I want to make a post about Nick and Julia but I can’t find a single gif or still of them. Y’all hate Julia?? Her hating Jess aside, they were really good together and had a whack break up😭

Okay so i binged the td reboot and some opinions (spoiler alert)

I expected Caleb to be the new justin, he got booted after the first episode. Not what i expected but can't wait to see him compete in the next season

Axel got booted way to early imo. Like sure she's basically the new Eva incarnate but she at least deserved to get to ep 4. Ripper should've been booted in her place bc his whole schtick got annoying real quick. It's like they wanted another Owen but he really didn't succeed

Chase got done dirty by the producers ngl. I halfway expected a sort of bromance between him and Zee, which we got for a little part, but his whole thing as ex bf who doesn't see what he did wrong to his gf and tries to win her back got old QUICK

While Chase got done dirty, Emma really fit in her characterisation tho. So sad she and Chase got back together

Raj and Bowie. Do i even need to say anything more?

Honestly now that i'm talking about the gay couple, i expected Caleb and Bowie to be the couple, but this was honestly even better and so pure to see Raj realise he's gay

Also supportive Wayne. We fucking stan

Also also Wayne and Raj being a duo. You get 2 for the price of 1

Honestly Zee, best way ever to reveal ur an amputee (idk if that word's offensive or not 😭)

Millie. Oh Millie. I loved seeing ur friendship with Priya, but ur reason for coming was honestly not good and u only got as far as you did bc of Priya

Priya was a 10/10 character. Change my mind

Scary Girl (Lauren) was an 11/10. Also got booted to early, maybe could've lasted 2 more episodes for just comedic relief honestly. Also honestly maybe one of the strongest total drama competitors ever. Basically every "women woment" meme on tumblr

(anyone else notice how gwen, the goths and Scary Girl are just really strong competitors in the TD universe? In this essay i will... )

Julia. I expected her to be booted of as one of the first, but turning her in a new semi-heather but better fleshed out was honestly one of the best decisions they could've made

Nichelle really said "girl failure"

[stfu-im-thinking-abt-blorbo]

Thoughts about each TDI Reboot episode, starting at 1. SPOILERS UNDER THE READMORE.

Chris' new voice is certainly... a change. I don't mind it, and I think Terry is getting his acting and emotes for him right, but it's definitely gonna take some time to adjust and not immediately think it's Don.

"Hey, what's up I'm here to slay" from the intro is killing me in the best and worst ways. Rip the old intro song.

Also there's a very VERY small detail for the campfire. When Raj looks back to the screen, only one of his eyes follow. Either an animation error, or he has a lazy eye.

It's been 15 years since the beginning of the show in canon?? That means the gen 1 and 2 casts are roughly between 28-31 I think?? And yet Chris and Chef Hatchet don't look any different. Also since og Island premiered in 2007, this one is taking place in 2022 and NOT 2023.

Either way this gives me a good excuse to practice character design with a 15 years timeskip and make adult designs for the gen 1 and 2 casts.

Priya. WHAT. GIRL GO TO THERAPY AND GET AWAY FROM YOUR PARENTS. Also Owen cameo.

Bowie is gay like I thought he'd be. Now way he wasn't a reference to David Bowie. Getting some vibes of him being the new Heather tbh.

I, like many others, thought Ripper was going to be the new Owen. He's only a small bit Owen with a dash of Duncan, and a whole lot of Scott. Respect to Ripper for how spicy he likes his food, tho lol.

Chase and Emma are exes. Chase is a YouTube/Twitch personality T-T. Here's hoping that Emma broke up with him bc she's a lesbian. Really want her and Bowie to be besties.

Scary Girl's real name is Lauren >:(

Zee is both the smartest and dumbest character. I want him to be the blorbo of the season, but I'm getting the feeling it's gonna be Bowie.

Wayne: "What'd you think, Rajey?" 🥺

Nichelle is the only one to not get an audition tape. Interesting. Also a Madonna reference?

Julia called herself an influencer. She better be an early boot for that.

MK, Axel, Caleb and Damien are the only ones I don't have any comments about. Sucks 'cause I was hoping I'd really like MK and Axel.

Drone of Dispair. Somehow the worst idea yet lol. Can't wait for a joke about one of the contestants flying over private airspace and getting shot.

Ripper called himself the alpha male nooooo

EVEN BOWIE IS CALLING WAYNE AND RAJ GAY LMAO

And Bowie immediately goes to the girls' side of the cabin to talk shit about Chase with Emma. Love them sm.

Ripper: "Where'd you get the soda from??"

Zee: "...I have no idea."

Rip Bowie's heart glasses, hope cartoon logic kicks in and he has a million of then.

If Damien thinks they can't show Ripper's censored ass on TV, then I wonder what his reaction would be to a show like Naked and Afraid.

Emma and Chase didn't break up over lesbianisms unfortunately. But messing up her car's breaks and causing her to crash is still a valid reason for her to break up with him and be incredibly upset. Like, he could have killed her, other bystanders, or any of the puppies at the shop she crashed into. Yet I think the show is treating Emma as being unreasonable? It's just a prank bro.

Also MK calling Emma out for saying 25% of the money instead of half like she did when talking to Bowie earlier. Maybe there's more to the break up story?? Like she's lying?? But that still wouldn't make sense if the show is already treating her as unreasonable beforehand. Idk.

Bowie really do be like "are the straights okay? 🙄"

Raj: "Wayners" 😭

Also Wayne and Raj both have the same accent as Ezekiel.

Goodbye Caleb, we barely knew ya. Have fun hanging out with Staci and getting no character development like her. Maybe one day he can come back like Justin.

BOWIE IS THE NEW HEATHER, I WAS RIGHT AND HE IS GONNA BE THE BLORBO

Overall, fun first episode. Not a smash hit or anything, but a pretty good hook. Also the animation and character design is such an upgrade. I was hesitant about the new cast's designs, but actually seeing them in the show and moving makes it work so much better to me. After rewatching the first half of og Island, it is amazing to see how far this show and its animators have come from 2007.
