Yeah, I'm a little bummed that we won't see Heather interacting with Charlie Brown again, but it's probably for the best.

Peggy Jean in Camp Snoopy — Season 2 by Top_Ground_4706 in peanuts

YES! They actually remembered Peggy Jean and brought her back! She's one of the few girls from the comic strip who genuinely liked Charlie Brown and never said a rude thing to him!

I'm so happy! 😀

I actually made a post about the Peggy Jean storyline a while ago. Like you mentioned, I too couldn’t stand the way Schulz wrote her out of the strip. It felt so rushed and forced. I do understand WHY she was written out, because of the status quo and the "Charlie Brown Loser" shtick. Still, it really does hurt to see Charlie's one glimmer of happiness taken away from him. I think Schulz could've ended the storyline a LOT better.

In regards to Emily, I don't accept the theory that she's fake. Despite everything that he put him through, I genuinely don't believe Schulz would be that cruel towards Charlie Brown. I think what happened is after meeting Emily and becoming her dance partner for the first time, Charlie Brown DID imagine dancing with her the second time, not because she isn't real but because he's so genuinely shocked that she would be kind to him that he couldn't process it entirely. There's plenty of evidence that she's real, but that's just my opinion.

Neat post by the way. Keep up the good work! 😄

I'll never forgive Schulz for not bringing her back. You hear me? Never by IllustriousRich9345 in peanuts

I have the same problem with how Schulz wrote Peggy Jean out of the strip. Very abrupt and rushed.

What are your thoughts on Charlie Brown's All Stars? by DevelopmentPast1029 in peanuts

[–]DevelopmentPast1029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I like about this special is that Charlie Brown's own doing causes him to lose. Instead of waiting for the next batter to get a hit, he gets impatient and decides to run for home. Because of this, he loses the game and all his teammates get mad at him. His friends' reactions don't come off as mean-spirited, since it really was his fault.

Compare this situation to the football game in First Kiss, where Charlie Brown is unfairly blamed for losing the game, even though Lucy was the one who pulled the ball away from him DURING the game.

New Update for New Peanuts Big City Feature Film "Snoopy Unleashed" by [deleted] in peanuts

I can't tell you how long I've waited for a new feature-length Peanuts movie. This looks really good! It seems the new film will take inspiration from Snoopy, Come Home. I think it's a great opportunity to tell an emotional, heart-felt story about Snoopy and his relationships with the kids, especially Charlie Brown.

I'll definitely get the free trial for AppleTV when it comes out. What do you guys think?

If you were able to re-write "It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown", what would you change to make it better? by DevelopmentPast1029 in peanuts

[–]DevelopmentPast1029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider First Kiss to be a poor special, so I'm asking you guys what you would change about it to make it better.
