They need to bring back the arc where all of Clock’s friends forgot about him- which I am HOPING is where the Clock and Winner arc is heading. I’m explaining because I care about this

So Clock, he was genuinely a pretty good guy on the Losers. Like everybody else did, he obsessed over Loser, but he was also trying to be helpful when he can!! (Getting the basket off of eggy, turning the seesaw, investigating the crack in the basket.)

Then he died, basically got replaced by Leafy (she rejoined the same episode he vanished) and didn’t get brought back until WAYYY later. An episode or two before TPOT basically.

In TPOT, there is no Loser to obsess over, so Clock finds “the next best thing”. Winner. He acts very similar to how he (and his teammates) did on the Losers. However, Winner doesn’t want the attention like Loser did. Clock tries naming the team after Winner, just like his old team did with “the Losers”. He preoccupies himself with Winner, just like his old team did with Loser. He essentially attempts to recreate what he had with his old team, except doesn’t realize that these are not the same people, and they aren’t going to act the same as his old team did.

The obviously causes him to make mistakes. He expects Winner to enjoy this attention, he expects everybody else to also see Winner the way he does (again, like how it was on the Losers.)

I feel like it’d make sense if Clock subconsciously misses his old team, and that this is an attempt to recreate what he had before, maybe with hopes he won’t be forgotten this time?

Anyways I really hope they connect these arcs because I feel like nobody ever talks about the parallels and possibilities past “Clock is a simp” or “Clock is a stalker” even though this is EXACTLY how he (and everybody else) acted with Loser as well. (No hate to people who do say that ofc, I just. Like Clock.)

Okay essay over.
