I know <3 '''I still credit you for starting this topic. '''

Right?

I like HOA as a kid's show because it proves that not all children's shows need to be silly and simplistic, and can actually be challenging, but I know what you're saying, HOA covered a lot of topics that would have worked better in a more mature setting. EVERYONE would be struggling...which would have made the developments, the relationships, and the stakes a whole lot better....For example, take Joy, because well, she'd have definately been suffering in Season 2 from things like trust issues. Heck, she'd probably have clung to Patricia for protection...which gives a real reason why she wouldn't be in Sibuna until the end, when she develops and can get over it...which would make her make-over arc in season 3 all the sweeter.

I KNOW RIGHT.

Yes...and just friendly competition, that doesn't get too serious and doesn't ruin friendships... May worked pretty well, except that, IMO, it just got dragged down by being a bit too one-sided and dramatic...It was a fine rivarly, but I'd love a friendly rivarly, you know? One where the opposing sides can still be friends...possibly best friends.

Hehehe...Yessss...We got one catfight in season 1, Fabian and Alfie got a bit physical in the third season...Villains tended to get attacked now and then...but nothing big...nothing to really care about...I forgot about Mick, yeah, he was pretty physical too...in the way where we would just lunge, Amber would just slap...Patricia would have gotten definately aggressive, no doubts about that. And yeah, she wouldn't use her powers to actually hurt anyone she cares about, I mean she doesn't do that anyways, it would be more to blow off steam, or give someone a reality check, or even playfully. God, a Pamber Girlfight...I want it...And the boys, hehe, poor boys. ;)

I wouldn't because we'd be creating it so who the heck would we be paying sis? ;)
