TIME FOR MY REPLY

Okay, you have a point about why the newbies were there, maybe they wanted to test their appeal/get ratings before making a spin-off? That still doesn't justify making them rather bland characters who only really stole scenes the main characters should have filled.

One flaw with your argument about Willow - Who NEEDED the credit subplot? If she were involved in the mystery, wouldn't that make a more interesting and rewarding plot overall? So I get what you mean, but the thing is, that subplot didn't do much anyway, and could have been replaced. But I agree about Mara.

Patricia, yes, that was indeed part of my inspiration for TRC. (I also came up with the plot with help from MsEraserCollector, my personal love for Patricia and my love for her season-1 personality.)

Jeroy and Jerome could have been replaced with lamps and the movie would have lost nothing. That's how useless and boring they were this time around. I'd have honestly been fine with their romance being downplayed and them just being a badass duo helping Sibuna...

Yeah, what you just pointed out with the math formula is...upsetting, honestly. True for the show, but upsetting all the same. And I have never seen HHA but okay, that sounds like a huge cop out too, since it probably had a LOT more buildup than TRC did... Yeah. Basically my point is that the ending was lazy and done just for a twist...

Those are awesome topics. Dang. I could have fun with all of them.
