  • The show said "Hey, what's up? I'm here to slay?" and I ask if it did, according to Ways?
    Revivals are always a scary thing and when it comes to a show like Total Drama that has had such a shaky history, this is a revival that could go either way. Did they stick the landing or did they go the way of many other reboots before it.
    A very late review of Total Drama 2023.

      I’m just so happy that Total Drama is back, and it’s actually good again! I loved RR when I watched, and this seems like a more faster paced story of TD with a lot of new things!

      I definitely prefer the original but as I said, appreciate it from a meta perspective and honestly? It's grown on me.
      The original is definitely superior but this is pretty alright.

      @@emilyschomer6715 Oh, I should have made it clear. I was judging by season 1. If I included season 2, then yeah, Caleb is higher. I put Cakeb at the bottom for season one because he was first boot. That's also why MK isn't higher as when she was caught by Julia, she didn't seen ti have a plan to counter Julia's argument, and Milkie is high for befriending Priya to carry her to the final three. Once season two is done I will rank them and if they did worse or better.
      And Zee had an idea. Was it stupid, yes, but he tried SOMETHING, unlike Julia who's strategy is just winning which is everyone's, or Lauren who didn't even try. He at least tried ti make a smart move. And if this was like the episode before than he could have gotten Ripper out.

      It's not legally available in the US yet and no one is really sure why since according to staff the US was the first place they sent the season to. They just haven't aired it.

    "Hey, what's up? I'm here to slay."
    I know you and I were chatting as I was watching this, so you know I'm gonna sound like a broken record lol. I haven't watched Total Drama in years. The last one I watched was Revenge and the only reason I remember was because the finalist used Stark Tech to take home the gold haha.
    But it's nice to know the franchise went strong with this current season despite its issues. Characters like Priya, Damian, the Hockey Bros, and Bowie would have been ones I liked if I were still a huge fan like you are. I enjoyed how articulated you were when it came to addressing the positives and the negatives. I also enjoyed your final thoughts. Here's to hoping the next season improves and continues what this season did.
    Great video, my friend! Keep up the good work!

      Stop making me feel old, Dom.
      Lol I'm aware.
      I was pleasantly surprised especially since the last couple seasons of Total Drama proper have been rather lackluster. All excellent picks though. I'm glad that I came across well.
      Thank you for the kind words and I will!

      The Ridonculous Race is essentially its own show that takes place in the Total Drama Universe.
      For example, would you consider every MCU movie to be a sequel to The Incredible Hulk to the point where you'd call The Avengers "Hulk 5?" No, of course not.
      That's what Ridonculous is.
