I just watched the first 4 episodes of Total Dramarama, and I liked it. I liked it a lot.
Since I started loving Total Drama long ago in late Spring 2008 as a 10-year-old, I just had to check out this adorable spin-off.
1. I love the addition of Jude. He was always my favorite of the boys on 6Teen, narrowly beating out Wyatt. I just love a laid-back demeanor.
2. I love how Chef is finally getting the spotlight. I enjoy Chris (I’m really hoping for a cameo for him), but it’s nice to see the sidekick become the main adult.
3. Izzy😜. Izzy just steals the show in every scene she’s in. I liked her as a teen in Total Drama (my favorite being her in Action with all of her alter egos), but her preschooler identity with that sense of wonder in her eyes is just too precious💖💖💖 (I love cute things that make people smile)
And finally, my absolute favorite moment from what I’ve seen so far:
4. Nikki’s cameo.
In the second episode, the kids are talking about what happened the last time Chef didn’t get his Rainbow Juice Starbucks drink. The scene goes to a flashback in what reminds me of Owen’s art style (which I love the goofiness of😆) and it shows Chef going on a rampage, when he spies a kid with purple hair sitting on a chair. He picks up the kid and the sequence ends. Then Owen goes “and we never saw Nikki again. I think her family moved”.
The moment I saw that hairstyle, my first thought was ‘is that Nikki? Is that really her?’
Then once Owen confirmed it I started chuckling. But then once he said “I think her family moved”, I completely lost it and had to pause the episode. They really did a call back to the finale of 6Teen, and I was out of commission for a good 8 minutes. I love call backs.
This is definitely a show I’m going to enjoy after I’m done enjoying the Adventure Time finale.
every semester, without fail, there’s some freshman who’s like “oh I never check my email lol” and i get worried for them, bc they’re going to miss some important email about a pop quiz or a test, or something and then fail. so if you’re a freshman reading this, CHECK YOUR EMAIL im not joking, professors will send you stuff via email that they’ll never mention in class. I’m in my email every hour on the hour before and after class. check that shit. put that app on ur phone, turn on notifs, go in and refresh every hour, check your spam, check your email
this has been a message from your concerned dad. check ur email, do well in school, i love you
RE: Gail’s surname, that’s something I’ve been trying to decide on! :0
I thought it would be fun to follow the Superhero trope of punny or alliterative names. It seemed fitting to give her a name that had some reference to birds, but most of the names I found in that category (Vogel, Spurling, Thrussel were top contenders) seemed a bit too fancy and flashy for ol’ Gail.
The most fitting one I’ve come across so far is Fowler. (Fowler is an English and/or Scots surname indicative of a person occupied as a bird-catcher.)
I have a comic scripted which starts out with Helen tutoring Gail in math because she’s struggling with assignments. Gail isn’t naturally gifted with numbers, bless her heart. :’)
