Yes. i think they should have made him the villain in season 2 instead of courtney, courtney is my favorite character and her writing in action was terrible. Also Lindsey vs Duncan not happening is still a sore wound.
Well Chris didn't turn him into one, it happened when Zeke stowed away on the plane and started living with the rats. Exploiting him for challenges was all Chris tho lmao
"Chris" didn't turn him into a golum. That was all self inflicted by Ezekiel's own stubborness and refusal to accept the reality that he was voted out, he's useless, caused his team to lose and nobody likes him. He feels like he's entitled to the prize money just because he got eliminated twice. You think Chris could have used Ezekiel the way he did if the annoying gremlin didn't hide himself in the plane's storage for weeks, if not months? Besides, it's not like Chris only used *him* for the challenges. He used *everyone* for the challenges
Fun Fact: DJ is the only member of the original cast to never get voted off In TDI, he lost the challenge and was automatically kicked off by default. In TDA, he quit because the guilt of his alliance with Chef got the best of him And in TDWT, he was the last member of his team and he lost the challenge. This is officially my most like comment ever Thanks
I remember reading somewhere (I forget where) in the original idea he was supposed to be in the Heather alliance and eliminated in Courtney's place. I forget why it was changed I think it was to make the alliance all girls
Ya that was so unfair. Would've been much fairer if Noah and Owen were the ones to accidentally catch Duncan and so were sent to elimination for a real reason instead of blatant bias.
The show did a lot of BS eliminations from what I remember of the first 3 seasons. Leshawna's elimination in TDI was still the worst one imo and I don't blame fans for throwing racial bias accusations towards the show writers for that.
@Leider Tears Thanks for that. People are far too eager to play the race card. Yes, her elimination was indeed bs but that has nothing to do with her race. Lashawna was one of the best contestants and had a truly inspiring goal for the cash prize. They could have written her to be literally useless (like other characters later on. Particularly one "wizard" that just so happens to be black. Hmm...) but they didn't. Her elimination was bs because she stood such a good chance of winning. The fact she could have won because she had skills and was competitive but still friendly, was very likable, stood up to bullies, and had little patience for people's crap, and had noble goals is more so why I am sad she was eliminated. If it was a character no one liked or was one we are supposed to hate anyway, no one would care how bs the elimination was but when it is done to someone like Lashawna, her character and goals, not her skin, are what make those types of eliminations sting.
Can't wait for the new 2 seasons coming soon. I hope it's good enough to replace Revenge of the Island and Pakhetiew Island since Ridonculous Race replaces All Stars in a way.
Noah is popular solely due to fan fiction. Fan fic writers love writing snarky characters and Noah is a one-liner machine. The actual writers didn’t care because every Total Drama character gets to be sarcastic, but Noah lodged his way into the fan’s heart with nothing but his great wit.
There was a really dark fanfic called "Despair Island" where instead of everyone getting voted off the island in TDI, Chris just _murders_ them. Noah epically uses his brain in the awake-a-thon episode to find a "Life Idol" and gives it to Chris discretely, then spends the entire dodgeball challenge acting _intentionally_ as unhelpful as possible so everyone will vote him off and he can escape with his life. He's one of the five contestants to survive all the way through.
I wrote a fan-fiction called “Total Drama Fan-Fiction Theater” that deconstructed Owen’s and Noah’s friendship, Noah even questions why he is friends with someone so different from him.
Honestly the only character that definitely was done dirty in every single season is LINDSAY like...that woman literally had character development, a funny likeable personality and actually was in the game and the producers never gave her the chance and that sucks
And leshawna and Beth. I would’ve loved it more if leshawna won and in the cooking episode, OWEN should’ve been voted off because he literally, as leshawna said, “ATE THAT ENTIRE PLATE OF RIBS!” I get why Beth was eliminated though, but it still seemed a bit unfair
Honestly I feel like Noah's random relationship with Emma was just FreshTV desperately trying to no homo Noah after finding out a lot of the fandom interpreted him to be gay.
Noah is an example of what Courtney could have been if she wasn’t so competitive and had social skills (this is coming from someone who loves Courtney). He was smart, witty, and although a bit too cold, overall a likeable person. In both of their audition tapes, Noah and Courtney mention their school president role. The different between the two is that, Courtney is clearly desperate to win this role (her whole audition tape is about it), and offends her classmate who’s filming for her due to not leveling up to her standards. As for Noah, he calmly speaks to the camera, and his president role is only brought up when a classmate of his congrats him on his achievement. If the writers didn’t want to use Noah (which is a shame cause he’s such an entertaining character) they could have used him as a device to develop Courtney (and potentially vice versa) by showing her a character with the same ambitions as she has doesn’t need to be straight up obsessive with their goals, and try to understand people better.
Yeah and maybe if she didn't act like a Karen and starts whining and does everything in her power to ruin everything if she doesn't get what she wants. I Love her but like after season 1 it was just horrible.
I need to see that, recently watched all seasons and made a rankings myself and I'd love to compare mine to his. Really interested to see his opinion on controversial characters like Courtney, Mike and more.
here's the thing though, some of the characters devolve so terribly as the seasons progress. Like, Courtney in S1 is incredible, but by the end she's unbearable.
Gonna be honest, Noah and Owen's friendship was a delightful surprise in World Tour and I think it met its full potential in Redonculous Race. They have a great dynamic of someone who is small, snarky, and intelligent paired with someone who is large, kind-hearted, and a tad bit dim-witted. It was a ton of fun to watch, and I genuinely hope they make a return in the next seasons that are coming soon.
What I loved about the Noah & Owen duo was their very like “yin-yang” vibe: Noah being intelligent and pessimistic while Owen is... not so intelligent but optimistic.
HELP MY!!! My muscles are too big! I am a big tall man and my muscles are even BIGGER! I use them to get views but they HURT so much!!! Because they are heavy. Do you have any advice, dear dom
Noah and Courtney were also into Student Government stuff back at their hometowns. While Courtney struggled for support Noah was his schools Student body President.
He was one of my faves purely because his relationship with Owen was a spot on mirror of Chris Farley and David Spade at the peak of their buddy comedy careers.
@@subifyouhatetiktokandreddit234 who cares?! This is literally just a normal damn comment how the fuck is this stolen? You seriously can't be THIS stupid.
I mean, he’s just kinda lazy( the character in canon, not his writing). There are other smart individuals in the series that actually care about the game and put effort in, and they make great characters. I am not sure I’m a fan of this “I’m too smart to care and put effort in” mentality that he carries, although he gets better with time. That being said, he’s hysterical so of course I love him.
@@epicgamer8326 i am probably projecting on this since Noah is my favorite character and i identifie to him a lot but here's my take on his behavior : 1- people like Noah don't know how to make efforts for a simple reason : they never hade to, every basic knowledges was learned very fast ,in Noah's case his whole life up to highschool has been one sweet ride on his mental capacity's ,it is likely that he never hade to take more than an hour of his day to do his homeworks or learn his lessons, resulting in a total lack of work etic 2- as kids people like Noah are praised all the time for being " gifted " ,in his case again it seem that it keep going in highschool, imagine the superiority complex you would get if everyone you knew keep telling you how much smarter and more mature you are then everyone else, it's the kind of complex that only the hard punch of your first big failure will shatter ( for Noah, his elimination in TDI) 3-being great at everything for so long make it harder deal with failure than it should be, people like this are often perfectionnists but it can result in a more strange behavior, the personne will never go 100% in anything and sometime they don't even try ( it obvioulsy resulte in constant failure anytime something is slightly harder) not trying come from the obvious " if i don't do it i can't fail at it " and never giving your all come from " i failed but it wasn't the best i can do so it's not that am not good enought " both are ways reasure themself about their own capacitys (basiclly you "purposly " fail so you never feel like a failure ,make sense right ?) In conclusion to me Noah don't act the way he does because he think he is " too smart " but rather because of a mixe of the three things i listed above that are common traits you can find in people with high potentiel Then again i may be saying massive BS because of my need to identify to Noah but it just really seem to fit with the way he refuse to play the dodgeball game ( " if i don't do it i can't fail at it ") and with his personality type in general Here was my massive Noah rant because im obssed with him thank you for reading and have a good day (also im french so i don't know if you understand any of what i said)
@@kaec8658 yea same, I loved her relationship with Duncan right before she got eliminated and her character just kind of got more possessive and jealous over Duncan and ruined her character
Do you know that Noah was originally planned to be an Heather alliance but they had to cut him out of the alliance because they wanted an all girl alliance
I think I heard from a comment that originally the merge was going to consist of 15 people, the episode would be basic straining, and Noah would be eliminated there. Not sure how they got 15 people because currently there were 14 people, I guess the eliminations were just different. I don't have a way to confirm it, but I heard it off a comment.
@@vicentekokaly322 It might not literally be "no reason" but it's as close as you could probably get, considering Team Chris literally wins the challenge but Chris decides they don't and have to eliminate someone instead. I guess they didn't want to take any focus away from Heather and Alejandro's rivalry/romance so they couldn't have Noah actually do... Basically anything.
You gotta admit though, he was wrongfully eliminated in the London episode. Noah and Owen captured Jack the Ripper/Ezekiel which was the goal of the challenge. But team Amazon won because they found Duncan and brought him to Chris and THAT WAS NOT THE GOAL. Noah was robbed.
@@choiproductionsyt OK what if he was just eliminated in Greece instead. Make it so in London Chris says both teams did to well to eliminate anybody. Then in Greece, Alejandro convinces both Duncan and Tyler to vote Noah, saying he'll help them next time as long as they help him, meaning Noah is kicked out.
Can we just talk about how Duncan got WAY too much screen time. He makes it too the final four TWICE AND gets some of the biggest plot lines in the seasons he doesn’t get to the final four. It’s ridiculous.
To be fair Heather also has this situation but I think it's because they're bigger antagonistic characters that the writiers probably enjoy writing for than some of the other characters. Personally I'd like harold or Lashawna or even izzy to have gotten further in the series but that's because I like some of the bigger personality characters like that :P
My theory is that the writers were simping for Duncan so hard that they didn't want to write him out of the script until/unless they were forced to. Him being a fan favorite gave them more excuses too.
Yes. The nerve of the show to vote him out third and write him out of the second season. He’s literally one of the funniest characters in the whole series.
@@elmasterdezoologia6641 they did good with him in ridonculus race, and given the last words of Owen and Noah, he's basically confirmed for the next season(s). So yeah, I'm hopeful
Idk about anyone else but Trent and Gwen's absolute self destruction almost turned me off to season two in general. I can't for the life of me understand what the purpose of having Trent and Gwen pick the teams and be captains if they are eliminated back to back. Trent turning into a simp and Gwen getting eliminated right after due to guilt was a big waste of time and opportunity considering how far Gwen got in season 1.
@@ryla8195 Cartoon Network forced that to happen. I think to make Courtney and Duncan a real relationship, it would have to make Courtney a likeable character in Season 2 and 3.
@@ryla8195 seriously though the love triangle basically ruined everything with the three of them. Courtney was already not looking that great in season 2 but they completely killed her in season 3.
Trent was done _dirty as hell._ There were so, SO many other things they could have done with him (or even strained their relationship) without making him go crazy for absolutely no reason 💀
Dude is literally known as “the High I.Q.” and yet later seasons just characterize him as a generic sarcastic snarker because his debut episode happened to feature some snide remarks
that's what im saying. Ridonculous race might have gave him development but it lowkey ruined his character. In tdwt he could've had a storyline with Alejandro since he was one of the two to only catch on to him. That would make him look more high IQ.
I thought the Ridonculous Race characterized him pretty well. Sure most of his interactions were wooing over Emma, but I liked him what they did with him in the later seasons. Noah was great in moderation. Too much of him might’ve ruined his character
The "Owen is a mole" subplot didn't make me dislike Owen as a character (especially since I kept thinking he would come clean due to being Owen) but it actually INFURIATED me when Owen single-handedly ruined the development between Harold and Duncan! They were almost friends and then he sabotaged it. That's when the subplot went from kind of dumb, but minor, to incredibly aggravating.
@@nicoleflores2054 yeah, you would think that the two would attempt to put aside their differences after what happen in Season 1, maybe even Harold convincing Duncan that Courtney wasn't the complete saint she looked to be during the time she on Island and Action.
The weirdest part of the show for me was how much screen time went to the Gwen/Duncan/Courtney love triangle just to not at all dissect how abusive they kind of both were towards him. Especially in all star. What was the point???? Why even focus on it if you’re not going to have it end in any satisfying way. Literally just Duncan getting endlessly fucked with and then going to jail.
Yep. Love how we ended up losing out on Gwen and Courtney’s friendship, Gwen and Duncan’s friendship, and the pure-er days of Courtney and Duncan as a couple just for all three to now be enemies and with Duncan in jail...
@@bilis2866 I’m not against the love triangle, I thought it was interesting, I just think Duncan got really badly fucked over at all times by both of them and then got thrown in jail with the overall tone of “he got what he deserved.” It was just weirdly mean spirited to him.
@@logantharp6066 I imagine if that was the case Noah and Eva's alliance would be just plain business with each other, but because of Owen, they feel bad for manipulating him and decided to actually be friends. Then when Heather gets Eva eliminated Noah gets suspicious and that's what starts their rivalry
My list of missed potential in total drama - Noah and Tyler development - The season 4 cast not getting enough love and chances for development (especially Dawn and B) - Everything about season 5 - A good spin-off instead of Dramarama like a ridiculous race 2 or anything else
I always thought of a second ridoncolous race with more of the original and second trilogy like Joey and mike and maybe heather and Alejandro Lindsay and Tyler that I think woulda been cool
Thank you for siding with me on that abysmal Total Drama All Stars. It's like they forgot how to write characters and completely train wrecked Duncan, Gwen, Courtney and basically everyone except for Zoey and Mike
Yeah All-Star will always be my least favorite season. Pahkitew Island might have had mostly forgettable cast but at least it did not ruin/flanderize previously amazing characters like All-stars did
I liked it, I enjoyed how the old characters had kinda served their purpose, as well as the fact that finally Chris was beginning to have to pay for his crimes (with everything being irradiated and the EPA going after him).
@Mario Kart animations Faiyad Until revenge of the island and the others (excluding total dramarama and Ridonuculous Race and also correct me if I spelt it wrong)
Noah's stereotype in Total Drama Island was "The Schemer" but it was changed to "The High IQ" in Total Drama World Tour. Mark Thornton and Todd Kauffman have hinted in an interview that this was because Noah was apparently conceived as a somewhat villainous contestant early on.
Yeah but honestly Zeke didn't have much personality besides being a homeschool prairie person, the whole monster angle at least kept him relevant in my opinion
@@williampilling6576 we didn't know much of his personality to start with you can find cool facts about him in the wiki but other than that he was wasted potential him and Noah
I kinda feel like the season peaked in every episode until Duncan rejoined. Mostly cause Team Chris is really hot had the best interactions in the show.
@@alexverdana2435 Yeah, I really like the way how it parodies most last man standing like Survivor and the art-style, definitely cruel, represents the tone it was going for. It's nothing groundbreaking, but was a lot of fun.
Noah and Tyler are definitely the most missed opportunities of the whole series, should have merged both instead of Owen and Duncan who contributed to basically nothing in world tour
It's not like Noah and Tyler contributed more during their stay, they actually did less than Owen and Duncan in World Tour. And I love all 4 of these characters
@@Robalexe yeah but to be honest, Duncan and Owen are way too fan favorite coming from the series's writing, which seeing Owen being vote off early (probably by sacrificing his time for the game) for Noah to get to the merge and Duncan as well for Tyler to get more screentime.
...they contributed to more than Noah and Tyler, you can say they were less interesting, but you can't say they contributed to nothing when the mid season was mostly about the love triangle
Noah's my favourite character but i gotta say I think he was trash in season 1 He did nothing to help His Raichu team and he totally deserved to be eliminated Thankfully he got better
The main thing I remember from my Total Drama days was the Gwen/Duncan versus Courtney/Duncan shippers. The most big-brained move I made was shipping Gwen and Courtney together instead 😌
they all suck. duncney came out of nowhere, as fun as it was. gwuncan was some stupidass love triangle which messed up world tour, and gwourtney's dynamic is ruined. this is noco levels of bad ships, especially gwuncan
@@princibles yeaa team Amazon was like a rlly crazy team but like the couldn’t have won the first couple of challenges without Cody and sierra since Courtney, Gwen and heather just fought all the time
@Griffin Ellis Her first time being eliminated helped established Heather as a threat, so it works perfectly in a narrative standpoint. The most they could really do with her character is give her team the dilemma of deciding whether her athletic prowess is worth putting up with her antics. Which would have gotten old fast.
6:57 Apparently TvTropes mentions that Noah was actually supposed to form an alliance with Heather in the first half, with his job being to spy on the boys for her, and Heather would have eliminated him in the 15th episode of the season. It was dropped because the writers wanted Heather's alliance to be all girls, hence Noah's early elimination as well as Eva's sudden return in the 15th episode. So, you were right!
@@Starleafys it probably wouldn't be too hard to find since i don't think there's a lot of noah fan fiction out there, but i'm not giving you the site either, it's not on ao3 though, i'll say that much
The only problem I had with these kinds of shows is that the more characters/people leave, the less chemistry there is to be had between them and the show can get really dry or irritating depending on which people are left
For people wondering why people think Noah is gay, it’s because he is queer-coded. Queer-coded means that the character is never explicitly said to be gay, but the audience reads them to be. TD is filled with stereotypes, and Noah fits this by being snarky, self-centered, and borderline dramatic. Noah also does not have any traditional masculine traits. He doesn’t like sports or physical activity. When he does run in TDDDDI, even Eva says he “runs like a girl” because he ran with his hands at his sides. Another aspect is it seems like Noah has some internalized homophobia with how adamant he is when denying the sleeping ear kiss. He is embraced about it because he was asleep. People don’t say the kiss shows Noah is gay. It’s how he denied it. Plus, people use the kiss to show parallels to other hetero couples sleeping cuddled up together. The best example is Courtney and Duncan waking up and immediately blaming the other for unconsciously cuddling. Not only did Noah cuddle with Cody in the main series but again in the celebrity manhunt special outside of the bus. There are other jokes in the series that comment on Noah’s sexuality. The main one is with Owen when trying to convince DJ to join an alliance. Noah says asking people into an alliance is a lot like asking someone on a date. Owen then proceeds to tell DJ that Noah is attracted to him. For a more detailed explanation, look up “Noah is gay coded” by tolstoynoah on the amino apps total drama section.
I actually really liked Eva, she made even Heather have someone to watch out for and I think heather is at her best when she has big conflict and big competition (as proof of alahondro and duncan/lashawna which usually leads to some of the best heather moments).
I actually don’t think Noah is the most wasted character but Eva. It’s the person that got the least scenes in all 3 seasons. She could have been a great character but she didn’t even have the chance. She got a few scenes in the aftermaths and the special episodes but fr that’s it. I would have loved to saw her character development and a different side of her. The only impression we got was a strong angry woman. If they ever bring back the original cast let Eva be on the season.😊
Honestly Noah really should have won the aftermath special competition and gone back to the show. If he got paired with Owen in the Niagara episode he would have had some great comedy moments. He probably would have talked about how ridiculous a lot of that challenge is. Just imagine his line deliver if he was like fine I'll be in the wedding the dress. He would come to the conclusion that it would be easier for Owen to carry him instead of vise versa
Insert Patrick voice: Scaffrillas, you and I both know that you are just using total drama island as a distraction so you don't have to work on your Shrek the Musical video.
Noah is a character I felt was wasted. He is one of three characters who IQ is confirmed(the other being izzy and Alejandro) all three being around the 180-190 range. Which is very impressive, and all three shown to be very intelligent(Noah seeing through Alejandro's facade) But I feel he had SO much potential, I mean he was called the Schemer. Like imagine him doing something akin to Heather, but more passive. Playing the role of an innocent nerd. Who goes unnoticed but knows when to strike. It wouldve been great to see tbh. Im glad later seasons saw his potential, but he was wasted on the first season. I feel if the writers focused on him he could be a perfect mix of Courtney's and Heather's best traits. Organized and intelligent but scheming and manipulative. The Schemer needs his time to shine.
They are the anti's of each other. Noah's smart and Justin's stupid, Noah's weak and Justin's buff, Justin's hot and Noah's not. They still have a lot of similarities, they're both lazy and egotistical.
I agree w the noah and owen being the "married couple" in that one WT challenge, I think that'd make a lot more sense for bonding purposes since he is owen's partner in RR
noah had so much potential. he could’ve been, like, heather-type villain. world tour is one of my favs for putting noah back in & ridonculous race noah was good-but world tour was 10 times better.
If I gotta be honest, Noah would be a terrible villain. Noah is the most lazy person on reality television, he has little to no interest in even being alive. At best, Noah can be a villains worst nightmare because of Noah's high common sense level.
I liked the idea of Emma and Noah, I just didn’t like to much how the execute it. Noah suddenly becoming this lovey dovey goofball feels out of character and forced. I think both him and Emma should have been resistant to dating each other before slowly getting more comfortable with the idea
Yeah I like their relationship but I feel like they should have made that an earlier season thing. Not the very end and it just felt very random and somewhat weird.
It also should’ve had a better catalyst than watching her do a gymnastics challenge. Like, Noah’s seen what it takes to survive CHRIS, a front flip shouldn’t dazzle him 💀
I think the word you mean is under used and he wasn’t that under used anyway. He is actually extremely overrated as he has a huge fan base considering his small amount of screen time. Underrated means a character contributed much and is a likeable character with a relatively small fan base, so please don’t word what you say wrong about an overrated character.
This week on, "Justify My Fanfiction!" A crazed man raves at the clouds about his favourite character for half an hour. But seriously though this was really funny and interesting.
I agree almost entirely in the rewrite, but would change Noah's implementation in Season 1 slightly. I don't think that Noah should get Owen into an alliance in the first season, because it ruins the idea that Owen goofed his way into the final two and winning the game, and putting Owen in an alliance will make him seem too similar to Lindsay. Instead, after eliminating Katie and Sadie (move the camping episode to the second challenge, then vote Sadie off in the dodge ball game because she's too sad to compete), Noah tries to follow Heather's lead and form his own alliance. The problem is, every person he courts ends up getting eliminated.Specifically, he tries to get Izzy and Cody into an alliance but they both leave the game in the exact same episode. By this point, Heather realizes what he's trying (and failing) to do and votes him off relatively early in the same episode that Sadie originally got voted off, because he's the only other person using strategy in the game. This way, Noah doesn't make it to the merge in season 1 but still plays a greater role overall and learns from his mistakes to make it further in Schaffrillas's proposed Action and World Tour timelines.
It's funny how you talk about how useless Katie and Sadie are. I always wanted a plot line with them, not necessarily splitting up but making new friends/becoming less dependent on each other. Katie's bio mentions her sewing and "thinking with her heart", while Sadie's says she thinks with her head. They have differences, and I feel like there could have been more to them.
I think there's a whole fanfiction series dedicated to giving Noah a literal second chance as he's sent back in time with all his memories to try and change his fate. He makes it to the final four in the first season. Don't know about the rest, I forgot to read it.
I always felt Noah was the smartest contestant without dipping into the nerd category. He'd make an amazing hidden villain if written properly.
Technically, he has an iq of 180. Izzy has an iq of 188.
Yes. i think they should have made him the villain in season 2 instead of courtney, courtney is my favorite character and her writing in action was terrible. Also Lindsey vs Duncan not happening is still a sore wound.

Ya that was so unfair. Would've been much fairer if Noah and Owen were the ones to accidentally catch Duncan and so were sent to elimination for a real reason instead of blatant bias.
The show did a lot of BS eliminations from what I remember of the first 3 seasons. Leshawna's elimination in TDI was still the worst one imo and I don't blame fans for throwing racial bias accusations towards the show writers for that.
@Leider Tears agreed. I don't think it was a racial thing, I just think it was bad writing
@Leider Tears Thanks for that. People are far too eager to play the race card. Yes, her elimination was indeed bs but that has nothing to do with her race. Lashawna was one of the best contestants and had a truly inspiring goal for the cash prize. They could have written her to be literally useless (like other characters later on. Particularly one "wizard" that just so happens to be black. Hmm...) but they didn't. Her elimination was bs because she stood such a good chance of winning. The fact she could have won because she had skills and was competitive but still friendly, was very likable, stood up to bullies, and had little patience for people's crap, and had noble goals is more so why I am sad she was eliminated. If it was a character no one liked or was one we are supposed to hate anyway, no one would care how bs the elimination was but when it is done to someone like Lashawna, her character and goals, not her skin, are what make those types of eliminations sting.
God I loved this show.

@@Jackrabbit7 but her getting vote out was so unfair. She should have been the top 2
Noah is popular solely due to fan fiction. Fan fic writers love writing snarky characters and Noah is a one-liner machine. The actual writers didn’t care because every Total Drama character gets to be sarcastic, but Noah lodged his way into the fan’s heart with nothing but his great wit.
Who else would love a Schaffrillas special of The Secret Show?
There was a really dark fanfic called "Despair Island" where instead of everyone getting voted off the island in TDI, Chris just _murders_ them. Noah epically uses his brain in the awake-a-thon episode to find a "Life Idol" and gives it to Chris discretely, then spends the entire dodgeball challenge acting _intentionally_ as unhelpful as possible so everyone will vote him off and he can escape with his life. He's one of the five contestants to survive all the way through.

@@sergeantsnicker9657 I think it's possible that that was an inspiration, considering the title, but I haven't gotten confirmation.
I wrote a fan-fiction called “Total Drama Fan-Fiction Theater” that deconstructed Owen’s and Noah’s friendship, Noah even questions why he is friends with someone so different from him.
Honestly the only character that definitely was done dirty in every single season is LINDSAY like...that woman literally had character development, a funny likeable personality and actually was in the game and the producers never gave her the chance and that sucks

And leshawna and Beth. I would’ve loved it more if leshawna won and in the cooking episode, OWEN should’ve been voted off because he literally, as leshawna said, “ATE THAT ENTIRE PLATE OF RIBS!” I get why Beth was eliminated though, but it still seemed a bit unfair

I just can't believe that Noah,Ezekiel and Tyler are now cannon in Schaff Universe
He mentioned in a video about how he was watching it again
Noah is an example of what Courtney could have been if she wasn’t so competitive and had social skills (this is coming from someone who loves Courtney). He was smart, witty, and although a bit too cold, overall a likeable person. In both of their audition tapes, Noah and Courtney mention their school president role. The different between the two is that, Courtney is clearly desperate to win this role (her whole audition tape is about it), and offends her classmate who’s filming for her due to not leveling up to her standards. As for Noah, he calmly speaks to the camera, and his president role is only brought up when a classmate of his congrats him on his achievement. If the writers didn’t want to use Noah (which is a shame cause he’s such an entertaining character) they could have used him as a device to develop Courtney (and potentially vice versa) by showing her a character with the same ambitions as she has doesn’t need to be straight up obsessive with their goals, and try to understand people better.
as someone who loves both, this comment is just, potential.
Yeah and maybe if she didn't act like a Karen and starts whining and does everything in her power to ruin everything if she doesn't get what she wants. I Love her but like after season 1 it was just horrible.
Yeah, a Noah Vs Courtney rivalry would have been great.
Courtney could have been the Anti-Noah Schaffrillas wished Justin was in the special episode.

Hell yea
I need to see that, recently watched all seasons and made a rankings myself and I'd love to compare mine to his. Really interested to see his opinion on controversial characters like Courtney, Mike and more.
Agree
Now
here's the thing though, some of the characters devolve so terribly as the seasons progress. Like, Courtney in S1 is incredible, but by the end she's unbearable.
Gonna be honest, Noah and Owen's friendship was a delightful surprise in World Tour and I think it met its full potential in Redonculous Race. They have a great dynamic of someone who is small, snarky, and intelligent paired with someone who is large, kind-hearted, and a tad bit dim-witted. It was a ton of fun to watch, and I genuinely hope they make a return in the next seasons that are coming soon.
Same
What I loved about the Noah & Owen duo was their very like “yin-yang” vibe: Noah being intelligent and pessimistic while Owen is... not so intelligent but optimistic.
Noah is yin, and Owen is yang.
the shy but inteligent and the dumbass extrovert duo in school
As Noah said in World tour. "Come fly with us. Come die with us." He was being used for peak humor.

He made a total drama world tour reference in his dreamworks ranking
I think Noah is actually perfectly written, he's too smart to actually put some effort.
I mean, he’s just kinda lazy( the character in canon, not his writing). There are other smart individuals in the series that actually care about the game and put effort in, and they make great characters. I am not sure I’m a fan of this “I’m too smart to care and put effort in” mentality that he carries, although he gets better with time. That being said, he’s hysterical so of course I love him.
@@epicgamer8326 i am probably projecting on this since Noah is my favorite character and i identifie to him a lot but here's my take on his behavior :
1- people like Noah don't know how to make efforts for a simple reason : they never hade to, every basic knowledges was learned very fast ,in Noah's case his whole life up to highschool has been one sweet ride on his mental capacity's ,it is likely that he never hade to take more than an hour of his day to do his homeworks or learn his lessons, resulting in a total lack of work etic
2- as kids people like Noah are praised all the time for being " gifted " ,in his case again it seem that it keep going in highschool, imagine the superiority complex you would get if everyone you knew keep telling you how much smarter and more mature you are then everyone else, it's the kind of complex that only the hard punch of your first big failure will shatter ( for Noah, his elimination in TDI)
3-being great at everything for so long make it harder deal with failure than it should be, people like this are often perfectionnists but it can result in a more strange behavior, the personne will never go 100% in anything and sometime they don't even try ( it obvioulsy resulte in constant failure anytime something is slightly harder) not trying come from the obvious " if i don't do it i can't fail at it " and never giving your all come from " i failed but it wasn't the best i can do so it's not that am not good enought " both are ways reasure themself about their own capacitys (basiclly you "purposly " fail so you never feel like a failure ,make sense right ?)
In conclusion to me Noah don't act the way he does because he think he is " too smart " but rather because of a mixe of the three things i listed above that are common traits you can find in people with high potentiel
Then again i may be saying massive BS because of my need to identify to Noah but it just really seem to fit with the way he refuse to play the dodgeball game ( " if i don't do it i can't fail at it ") and with his personality type in general

Do you know that Noah was originally planned to be an Heather alliance but they had to cut him out of the alliance because they wanted an all girl alliance
Omg that would've been LEGENDARY
Bruh that would’ve been great
I think I heard from a comment that originally the merge was going to consist of 15 people, the episode would be basic straining, and Noah would be eliminated there. Not sure how they got 15 people because currently there were 14 people, I guess the eliminations were just different. I don't have a way to confirm it, but I heard it off a comment.
his title actually couldve made sense then.. if he was in the alliance and he couldve just betrayed them then bam, the schemer title woulve made sense
It could work if he's in the new season if you made Kitty and Emma related to heather
Writers: Let's have Noah be important for the plot in World Tour.
Also Writers: Then let's eliminate him for no reason.
No reason? Watch the show again
@@vicentekokaly322 It might not literally be "no reason" but it's as close as you could probably get, considering Team Chris literally wins the challenge but Chris decides they don't and have to eliminate someone instead. I guess they didn't want to take any focus away from Heather and Alejandro's rivalry/romance so they couldn't have Noah actually do... Basically anything.
@@vicentekokaly322I watch it again. He got kicked off for no reason at all.
You gotta admit though, he was wrongfully eliminated in the London episode. Noah and Owen captured Jack the Ripper/Ezekiel which was the goal of the challenge. But team Amazon won because they found Duncan and brought him to Chris and THAT WAS NOT THE GOAL. Noah was robbed.
yes.. it would've made sense if he made it to the niagra falls episode for the comeback challenge
@@choiproductionsyt OK what if he was just eliminated in Greece instead. Make it so in London Chris says both teams did to well to eliminate anybody. Then in Greece, Alejandro convinces both Duncan and Tyler to vote Noah, saying he'll help them next time as long as they help him, meaning Noah is kicked out.
Tyler got robbed too
Really though they did exactly what he wanted to. Chris could have just not voted off either of them.
That episode was amazing but it made me mad
Can we just talk about how Duncan got WAY too much screen time. He makes it too the final four TWICE AND gets some of the biggest plot lines in the seasons he doesn’t get to the final four. It’s ridiculous.
To be fair Heather also has this situation but I think it's because they're bigger antagonistic characters that the writiers probably enjoy writing for than some of the other characters. Personally I'd like harold or Lashawna or even izzy to have gotten further in the series but that's because I like some of the bigger personality characters like that :P
Hes a fan favorite, itd be stupid if they didnt give him screen time
His average placement was 4.25
My theory is that the writers were simping for Duncan so hard that they didn't want to write him out of the script until/unless they were forced to. Him being a fan favorite gave them more excuses too.
The power of being a fan favourite
I legit forgot how wasted Noah was because of how loved he is by a fair chunk of the fandom.

Don't worry! Based on the last conversation Noah had with Owen, he's going to return for the next season(s)! I have hope
Yes. The nerve of the show to vote him out third and write him out of the second season. He’s literally one of the funniest characters in the whole series.
I think they've learned their lesson now though

Idk about anyone else but Trent and Gwen's absolute self destruction almost turned me off to season two in general. I can't for the life of me understand what the purpose of having Trent and Gwen pick the teams and be captains if they are eliminated back to back.

Dude is literally known as “the High I.Q.” and yet later seasons just characterize him as a generic sarcastic snarker because his debut episode happened to feature some snide remarks
that's what im saying. Ridonculous race might have gave him development but it lowkey ruined his character. In tdwt he could've had a storyline with Alejandro since he was one of the two to only catch on to him. That would make him look more high IQ.

I thought the Ridonculous Race characterized him pretty well. Sure most of his interactions were wooing over Emma, but I liked him what they did with him in the later seasons. Noah was great in moderation. Too much of him might’ve ruined his character
eh, I think he was pretty weak in that season outside of his relationship with Emma, but it could've been worse, looking at all stars.
The "Owen is a mole" subplot didn't make me dislike Owen as a character (especially since I kept thinking he would come clean due to being Owen) but it actually INFURIATED me when Owen single-handedly ruined the development between Harold and Duncan!
They were almost friends and then he sabotaged it. That's when the subplot went from kind of dumb, but minor, to incredibly aggravating.
i thought i was the only one who got disappointed that the Duncan and Harold getting along plot got fucked like that.
@@nicoleflores2054 yeah, you would think that the two would attempt to put aside their differences after what happen in Season 1, maybe even Harold convincing Duncan that Courtney wasn't the complete saint she looked to be during the time she on Island and Action.
I thought Owen had a pretty good reason to take the job, too. His family was 500k in debt! It fits his character to try and help them out.
Owen robbed Harold's deserved million dollars and made Duncan even less likeable than before.
They didn't remain friends but Duncan still respected Harold and was proud of him for what he did. Watch the episode's exclusive clip.
The weirdest part of the show for me was how much screen time went to the Gwen/Duncan/Courtney love triangle just to not at all dissect how abusive they kind of both were towards him. Especially in all star. What was the point???? Why even focus on it if you’re not going to have it end in any satisfying way. Literally just Duncan getting endlessly fucked with and then going to jail.

@@Starleafys it probably wouldn't be too hard to find since i don't think there's a lot of noah fan fiction out there, but i'm not giving you the site either, it's not on ao3 though, i'll say that much

Probably livejournal or ffnet, maybe wattpad?? Depends how old you are.
Who 5 yo me aspired to be: Duncan
Who 17 yo me became: Noah
I became Beth 😭
I'm a mix of noah and Eva 🤝🤝
Noah's line in the first song of TD: World Tour made me laugh harder than most of the jokes. Just the dead pan "Come die with us" is just so perfect.
The only problem I had with these kinds of shows is that the more characters/people leave, the less chemistry there is to be had between them and the show can get really dry or irritating depending on which people are left
Some really said "he has to make a ranking of all world tour songs" i thought he was talking about trolls 💀💀😭
LMAO
Why not both?
A recognition of a true hero, NOAH was the Chad of Total Drama series.
P.S. It's time to listen to TDWT songs.
For people wondering why people think Noah is gay, it’s because he is queer-coded. Queer-coded means that the character is never explicitly said to be gay, but the audience reads them to be.
TD is filled with stereotypes, and Noah fits this by being snarky, self-centered, and borderline dramatic. Noah also does not have any traditional masculine traits. He doesn’t like sports or physical activity. When he does run in TDDDDI, even Eva says he “runs like a girl” because he ran with his hands at his sides.
Another aspect is it seems like Noah has some internalized homophobia with how adamant he is when denying the sleeping ear kiss. He is embraced about it because he was asleep. People don’t say the kiss shows Noah is gay. It’s how he denied it. Plus, people use the kiss to show parallels to other hetero couples sleeping cuddled up together. The best example is Courtney and Duncan waking up and immediately blaming the other for unconsciously cuddling. Not only did Noah cuddle with Cody in the main series but again in the celebrity manhunt special outside of the bus.
There are other jokes in the series that comment on Noah’s sexuality. The main one is with Owen when trying to convince DJ to join an alliance. Noah says asking people into an alliance is a lot like asking someone on a date. Owen then proceeds to tell DJ that Noah is attracted to him.
For a more detailed explanation, look up “Noah is gay coded” by tolstoynoah on the amino apps total drama section.
I knew him getting a girlfriend didn't feel right/felt forced for some reason
@@ambarcastaneda4763totally agree with that statement, I also felt it forced
@@ambarcastaneda4763 i completely agree, and it also completely ruined his character to “i simped and i lost 😭😭😭😭😭😭”
@@shadowedsorrowsnot really he still made jokes lmao.
@@mariabaker8233all those gay coded scenes are practically jokes lmao
Fun fact: Chef, DJ, Beardo, and Leonard are played by Clé Bennett, who plays Lamar Hoskins on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier!
WHAT?
Total Drama confirmed to be part of the MCU! It's all connected!
woahh that's so cool!
I now need to find a video of one of those 4 smashing into a wall and smash cut it to what happened in the latest episode
@@them. To recreate the scene:
DJ: Lamar
Duncan: John Walker
Heather: Karli
I feel like Eva is underrated, because she could've had an advantage but sadly she was forgotten.
No, she was kinda recycled into Jo, so she's never coming back
I actually really liked Eva, she made even Heather have someone to watch out for and I think heather is at her best when she has big conflict and big competition (as proof of alahondro and duncan/lashawna which usually leads to some of the best heather moments).
@@linksora7120 sorry but i find your spelling of "alejandro" quite unnerving 😭
@@geckopecko I dunno why I couldn't think of how it was spelled so just put it the most literal spelling XD But yes XD
Yeah.
I actually don’t think Noah is the most wasted character but Eva. It’s the person that got the least scenes in all 3 seasons. She could have been a great character but she didn’t even have the chance. She got a few scenes in the aftermaths and the special episodes but fr that’s it. I would have loved to saw her character development and a different side of her. The only impression we got was a strong angry woman. If they ever bring back the original cast let Eva be on the season.😊
Honestly Noah really should have won the aftermath special competition and gone back to the show. If he got paired with Owen in the Niagara episode he would have had some great comedy moments. He probably would have talked about how ridiculous a lot of that challenge is. Just imagine his line deliver if he was like fine I'll be in the wedding the dress. He would come to the conclusion that it would be easier for Owen to carry him instead of vise versa
Why would they ship Owen with fucking Blainley when they can ship him with Noah??
Nah the best ship is Dave x Scott 😈😈
@@Testingthisname Yeah because males can't be together in that way obviously :I
@Julio Paulino it’s the best
They have the same hair color
because it was a cartoon show in the 2000’s
Insert Patrick voice: Scaffrillas, you and I both know that you are just using total drama island as a distraction so you don't have to work on your Shrek the Musical video.
I read that in SpongeBobs voice instead lord help me
Noah is a character I felt was wasted. He is one of three characters who IQ is confirmed(the other being izzy and Alejandro) all three being around the 180-190 range. Which is very impressive, and all three shown to be very intelligent(Noah seeing through Alejandro's facade) But I feel he had SO much potential, I mean he was called the Schemer.
Like imagine him doing something akin to Heather, but more passive. Playing the role of an innocent nerd. Who goes unnoticed but knows when to strike. It wouldve been great to see tbh.
Im glad later seasons saw his potential, but he was wasted on the first season.
I feel if the writers focused on him he could be a perfect mix of Courtney's and Heather's best traits.
Organized and intelligent but scheming and manipulative.
The Schemer needs his time to shine.
Noah is the proof that not all comedic relieve character have to be fat or dumb.
I figured Justin was the anti Noah because of Justin’s ability to work with and gather others around him while Noah was less of a team player.
They are the anti's of each other. Noah's smart and Justin's stupid, Noah's weak and Justin's buff, Justin's hot and Noah's not. They still have a lot of similarities, they're both lazy and egotistical.
and justin wasn't smart but noah is
Noah had so much potential in the first two seasons. I’m glad the writers put some more thought and love for him in World Tour
I agree w the noah and owen being the "married couple" in that one WT challenge, I think that'd make a lot more sense for bonding purposes since he is owen's partner in RR
noah had so much potential. he could’ve been, like, heather-type villain. world tour is one of my favs for putting noah back in & ridonculous race noah was good-but world tour was 10 times better.
facts, though rr did more development about Noah and Owen's friendship, which I'll take that.
i just wish he was funnier
If I gotta be honest, Noah would be a terrible villain. Noah is the most lazy person on reality television, he has little to no interest in even being alive. At best, Noah can be a villains worst nightmare because of Noah's high common sense level.
Legit shipped Noah with Owen as a kid, before I even knew what shipping was
Noah gave off the vibe; what can I say? Though I do love him and Emma
I mean... he did kiss a guy so-
Yeah and not mention some people ship him with Cody cause of that.😅But this was before I knew about lgbt stuff😅

I liked the idea of Emma and Noah, I just didn’t like to much how the execute it. Noah suddenly becoming this lovey dovey goofball feels out of character and forced. I think both him and Emma should have been resistant to dating each other before slowly getting more comfortable with the idea
Agreed they could’ve made them forced to work together and then they start to talk and get along then fall in love
Yeah I like their relationship but I feel like they should have made that an earlier season thing. Not the very end and it just felt very random and somewhat weird.
It also should’ve had a better catalyst than watching her do a gymnastics challenge. Like, Noah’s seen what it takes to survive CHRIS, a front flip shouldn’t dazzle him 💀
Oddly specific video

Beasel Watches!
cody is literally goated. funny, has character growth, almost a hero at times. totally underrated.
Yeah, he's awesome
I think the word you mean is under used and he wasn’t that under used anyway. He is actually extremely overrated as he has a huge fan base considering his small amount of screen time. Underrated means a character contributed much and is a likeable character with a relatively small fan base, so please don’t word what you say wrong about an overrated character.
@@PETSEMATARYTWO he's pretty boring imo, also nice toxicity levels there, you must be nuclear waste.
Best character in WT confirmed
@@sevenoxia7199 I wouldn't say Cody has a small amount of screen time considering his contributes in World Tour.
Noah is the best Total Drama character and no one can change my mind
its Gwen
That's a weird way to say Ezekiel
He's definitely one of my favorites!
Scott is the best character.
@@3.2187_Kilometres but Dawn-
This week on, "Justify My Fanfiction!" A crazed man raves at the clouds about his favourite character for half an hour.
But seriously though this was really funny and interesting.
I had wanted a Total Drama video since I heard him saying he was rewatching it for no reason.
I agree almost entirely in the rewrite, but would change Noah's implementation in Season 1 slightly. I don't think that Noah should get Owen into an alliance in the first season, because it ruins the idea that Owen goofed his way into the final two and winning the game, and putting Owen in an alliance will make him seem too similar to Lindsay. Instead, after eliminating Katie and Sadie (move the camping episode to the second challenge, then vote Sadie off in the dodge ball game because she's too sad to compete), Noah tries to follow Heather's lead and form his own alliance. The problem is, every person he courts ends up getting eliminated.Specifically, he tries to get Izzy and Cody into an alliance but they both leave the game in the exact same episode. By this point, Heather realizes what he's trying (and failing) to do and votes him off relatively early in the same episode that Sadie originally got voted off, because he's the only other person using strategy in the game. This way, Noah doesn't make it to the merge in season 1 but still plays a greater role overall and learns from his mistakes to make it further in Schaffrillas's proposed Action and World Tour timelines.
Yes! Noah and Owen at the wedding theme episode Would. Have. Been. Golden!
Someone FINALLY giving my boy the respect he (mostly) deserves
It's funny how you talk about how useless Katie and Sadie are. I always wanted a plot line with them, not necessarily splitting up but making new friends/becoming less dependent on each other. Katie's bio mentions her sewing and "thinking with her heart", while Sadie's says she thinks with her head. They have differences, and I feel like there could have been more to them.
I think there's a whole fanfiction series dedicated to giving Noah a literal second chance as he's sent back in time with all his memories to try and change his fate. He makes it to the final four in the first season. Don't know about the rest, I forgot to read it.
