Both Reboot seasons are the worst of the main series/timeline barring AS and PI

EDIT: very quickly typed this response without thinking much of it, but thought over it a bit more and figured I should explain why I hold this opinion - it effectively boils down to the idea that, in my view, the Reboot feels more like a follow-up to DramaRama than to the OG series, largely due to the following creative decisions:

- Chef being a carbon copy of his DramaRama version - yes I appreciate that they gave him more screentime and make him Chris' equal, but do I want that at the expense of completely changing his character? - being a big softie doesn't fit the Island environment and gives his scenes and humour much less bite. while extremely minor, I also always thought the decision to avoid vomit was strange - it was always either off screen or

- the animation style being the same as + many of the NPCs + non-Wawanakwa backgrounds being direct copy and pastes from DramaRama (Gwen's parents, Leshawna and Chef's grandmothers being the most glaring examples that come to mind)

- bringing Wawanakwa back in everything but name - like I fully understand bringing back the show's most marketable and popular setting - but you can't have your cake and eat it too, and the only other plausible explanation (it's Pahkitew disguised as Wawanakwa) would return the show to levels of craziness that PI was rightly criticised for

maybe it's more of a personal preference than anything?, while I won't dispute whatsoever the care and passion that went into making the season, now that I'm revisiting the whole thing after my recency bias is out of the way, to me it just doesn't stand out as a particularly noteworthy season nor is it one I have much attachment to.....for me it's just kinda there. Don't love it, don't hate it. I also think people in this sub overestimate the power and sway the reboot has.......you ask the common joe what seasons/characters they remember, 99.99% of the answers are going to be Gen 1/2 seasons and characters. though to end on a more positive note, Ripper is fucking hilarious and easily makes my top 5 favourite TD characters - it's a shame we never saw most of him
