The TV revival is an extremely tricky thing to get right because whether or not the original run of episodes ended how the showrunners intended, there's no guarantee of recapturing the lightning-in-a-bottle magic of that initial go-around.

Worse still, perhaps, is when a revived show ruins a previously beloved character, either by drastically altering their characterization, wringing them through a woeful subplot, killing them off, or, get this, maybe even resurrecting them unnecessarily.

These 10 TV revivals all made major missteps with vital characters, usually through careless writing but also occasionally due to some unfortunate timing in relation to real-world events.

Whatever the cause, and regardless of how it affected the show as a whole, these characters were seemingly tainted forever more in their belated returns to the small screen...

1. Logan Echolls - Veronica Mars

Veronica Mars' fourth season endured a far shakier response from the famously passionate fanbase, who took particular umbrage with the events of the season finale.

The finale features the dramatic death of Veronica's (Kristen Bell) husband Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring), who is killed in an explosion set by the season's antagonist just as the two are planning to set off on their honeymoon.

To many fans, it felt like creator Rob Thomas sticking a middle finger up at the audience, to deny Veronica a happy ending by killing off her love interest since the very first season for sheer shock value.

Some even deemed it egregious enough to not only ruined Logan as a character but the entire dramatic through-line of the show itself. And given that the season only existed due to the success of the 2014 crowd-funded film, fan outrage was especially ferocious. It obviously remains to be seen how a potential fifth season may follow Logan's death, but for some, it was enough of a dramatic misstep to taint the whole series.

Something that bothers me about the Veronica Mars movie is... Why does Veronica have such a non-candid contact picture for Logan😭? Like, that's one of the promo pictures taken of Logan for season 1 or 2😭😭

[alannacouture]

Still one of my favorites, especially since my headcanon ends w the movie (though I totally use domestic LoVe in edits because I can) 💖

[cylonbarnes]

the break between veronica mars season 1 and 2 had entire months of veronica and logan's first relationship that we dont see (i mean obviously we see significant moments) but the break between the season 3 finale and the movie had absolutely no veronica and logan interaction.... ridiculous and not real in my mind lmao

[welcometololaland]

I just wanted to give a special shout-out to one of my top 5 favorite Logan/LoVe moments— the softest callback in a movie ever. 😍

Gosh. He loved her so much.😭

(And yes—I sent you a Logan/VMars ask and now I’m the one spiraling. 🤣)

So I watched Skip Intro's Video on Veronica Mars and it brought back my obsession with it full swing so I was rewatching it and consuming fanon and thinking about only Veronica Mars for like. 2 weeks? And then I got to the movie and S4 and no obsession I've ever had has stopped on such a dime like watching the second half of season 3 and the Veronica Mars Movie.

And it's not the ships. Obviously every time Veronica and Logan break up and date other people it's a wasted lazy subplot that could've been screen time for some of the amazing and wonderful side characters. Give Wallace and Mac and Weevil and Keith more to do. Give them subplots. Or maybe focus on the mysteries and overarching plots of the show.

The video, which you should absolutely watch, focuses on what I consider to be 1 side of the VMars coin. The noir stylings which pair perfectly with the anti-establishment distrust of authority. The real world problems and the fact that the systems in place are corrupt and only benefit those in power. The "Laws are threats" type message where the only force for good is Veronica and like minded people trying. Doing whatever they can to make the world better by fighting and subverting the system.

The other side of the coin is the teen girl drama of it all. Veronica is Not Like Other Girls. But She USED TO BE. it's pretty pink prom dresses and pep squad snickerdoodles. It's the contrast and juxtaposition between the life she's "supposed to be living" the life she WAS living, the genre she used to be in. Before the show started, and now. When her life is a noir film. This side of the coin. Who still secretly cares about grades and boys and what her hair looks like. Who can effortlessly code switch between tough as nails and marshmallow soft. That compassion matters. That you need to take the time to do something nice for a friend when the world is ending. That you should remember Lilly floating in the pool and giggling, and also catch her killer. That's the show. It's the perfect balancing and blending of these two ideas that makes the first season so compelling.

When that balance tips too far in one direction the show stops being fun, or stops being interesting, or worse both.

All this to say. I think there needs to be a place for mystery shows that are geared towards different demographics AND criticize existing systems. I've spent my whole life obsessing over media that's all about mysteries and beyond that seeking justice. Scooby Doo, Nancy Drew, Veronica Mars.

The big problem these days is that so many mystery shows focus on law enforcement, but that is disingenuous and boring. They have to buy into the system, making them all some degree of copaganda, even those that try to criticize it fall short because they're still inherently tied to the system, and they're repetitive. When you buy into the law enforcement complex of America, you basically reinforce the status quo which doesn't do anything interesting with the mysteries or the complexities of the problems inherent in the system.

A children's TV show where the spooky monster is a man in a mask who's trying to manipulate the price of real estate or whatever is fundamentally a better story than this guy kills people and baits cops into elaborate schemes because he's crazy.

Even the shows that aren't about law enforcement are often about law enforcement consultants and still work within the system. Like. Sometimes the cops are comically bad at their jobs and that's better than having them be the heroes but there's still this reinforcement of belief in the prison industrial complex.

I think Veronica Mars should've grown up to be an investigative journalist taking down corporations and exposing politicians. Like. Spotlight level journalist. Which is dangerous and exciting and spooky and glamorous in the noir style, but engages with the issues inherent in our current judicial system in a way that's more interesting than her joining the FBI or being a Lawyer or even being a PI.

I think the modern version of VMars would be like. A darker version of Only Murders in the Building. With a focus on journalism and exposing the horrible truths beneath the surface of Neptune and its law enforcement.

This was all over the place but if you made it this far pls let me know what you think and please recommend me mystery media that's not about cops.
