The BFDI Marathon Experience

I genuinely thought this was a joke when it first came out. The visuals were rough and not something you would expect from a show such as BFDI. Not to mention the way certain characters act. Wasn't until the second episode that I realized it was actually BFDI’s comeback.


PENTAGRAM

Donuts as the most rational person in a world full of goofballs

I remember going “Did I miss anything?” when Loser came around.

I know, it's a whole trope. I didn't really expect a few visuals to become actual characters.

I'll be honest though, I couldn't really tell what Loser was saying 90% of the time.

Oh boy…. Not giving a good first impression Liy.

I feel they overdid Leafy's enthusiasm here. She usually conveys her kindness in more than just “I love everyone”

This is kind of painful to watch.

Still not a fan of Ice Cube's characterization here.

Like Leafy technically had these traits, something about how they're conveyed here feels… Off .. I'll articulate it later

37?? SO CLOSE

Seriously, I don't know why some people insist on having Teardrop speak. Ableism aside, she did have a personality. She just wasn't able to show it much.

A fuck

Objects love doing things with their arms


Oh booyyyyy…..


What an idiot.

So Black Hole is considered a non-object? I never knew.

All things considered, some of the visuals here are sick


I feel a part of why BFB never clicked was due to the way slapstick is done here VS how it's done in previous seasons.

I know a part of the new style is to make sure episodes release faster. But slapstick and visual gags were a huge part of BFDI.

Coiny and Firey made up off screen??

I feel one of my issues with developing the pre-existing characters is the way it's executed. Sometimes it feels like instead of expanding on their personalities, they just completely throw it away for a new one that just doesn't fit. Or somehow manages to make them even more 2D. Like so 2D even their BFDI characterization was more nuanced.

For a character like Woody, his change was fine given that he didn't do anything and his sthick honestly isn't really funny. But a character like Leafy and Pencil?? Well…

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm serious when I say this was out of nowhere for literally everyone.

I still can't articulate why something about Leafy here bothers me. It doesn't feel as obvious as Pencil.

You killed Flower on a whim

That's one term to use it

I admit, I find TV’s visual gimmick to be funny

In debt??

Is David even human?? Genuinely asking.

Can't catch a break

I admit the team name jokes are funny.

What is the official name for (8 names all at once)?

True


Good to know?

Yeah, I feel a big one that doesn't do it for me is how the contestants act

Sometimes I feel there are moments where the show deliberately writes characters so they can lose


I miss Bell’s Ribbon

AND they changed Iance’s leadership skills. God, I could complain about this all day.

How long did it take for this episode to be made anyway?

And that's BFB 1. It has its moments, but does introduce a lot of changes that I've come to dread. I feel it wouldn't be a bigger deal if those changes weren't related to the more prominent characters here.


No!

That's…. So little.

Crazy.

SHEESH, not even close.

Thanks Grassy???


Ohhhhh boy….. Here's some of the worst Leafy characterization I've seen. God… Where do I start?

I'm not adverse to the idea of Leafy being more of a sour and paranoid person due to BFDIA, just not a fan of how it's done here.

That's so out of nowhere.

Wasn't he stuck there for several freaking episodes?

Apparently the reason for BEEP’s losing streak was because Satomi hated Nickel?? I love favoritism.

Bracetly has some of the issues I have with II Fan where I wish they did more with her being a fan of the show. Ice Cube is cool and all but… Come on.


Seriously, have they ever explained why Liy hates Foldy and Stapy?

Serious business.

I love how TV Tropes stated that people hate Woody because he dabbed twice. Nothing else.

I feel if Leafy was more genuine here it would have been more effective. Like she had the best interests in mind but not a good way of going about them.


They went all out for a Gelatin torture scene, damn.

How DOES he know that???

Being a Leafy fan in 2017 is suffering.

I'll be honest, I couldn't tell it was Balloony poking his Earth

LMAOOOOOOOO

I'm serious though, are humans gone or just on another country?

Be careful what you wish for, I guess.


Honestly… I feel 8 Ball had potential? I'm all for a leader who has lots of charisma and consideration, but lacking in wisdom.


Oh boy…. I'm not sure how I feel about Book's arc. I'm so… Torn??? I think I said it before, but while I don't mind the concept in a vacuum… I feel maybe it was best if they didn't do it with a Freesmart character?
Book isn't a newbie, nor is she a background joke character that the writers decided to retool to give an emotional character arc. She has a pre-existing history, and it doesn't line up with what's shown no matter how you try to spin it. Less an expansion and more a

That said… Yeah, it was one of two reasons I even bothered to continue watching. It was flawed, but I found a concept such as that in an object show to be a RARITY. Especially at the time. Not like her story also got cut short, am I RIGHT GUYS?????!!


It could work with Book, but that would require actually SHOWING us why she feels the way she does. And again, it would end up in having to change Freesmart's personalities which everyone suffered for.


Even then, the way it progresses is a fucking rollercoaster.

He wasn't being pushy??

Seriously, if the captions were consistent in translating the Morse code, people wouldn't hate Roboty as much.

They just wanted to test out that asset.


I feel it also would have helped if Bracelety did more this episode.

I don't mind the characters making goofy, irrational decisions. A lot of the humor is built off of that. But when you have to TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, it just doesn't work

For the record, I'm not against character arcs and serious storytelling in BFDI. I just don't think it was executed well for most of them. It doesn't help that other object shows end up copying the mistakes it and II made.

Why does Snowball have an issue with BLEH losing anyway?? Your team was safe?

I remember when people were worried about this episode because it took a biiit longer to release. To be fair, object shows are pretty flaky so I can't exactly blame them…

Does she always pick Paper?

How is he doing that with his hand?

Object hands are weird. And I love it.



If there's one character who got better in BFB, it's definitely Donut.

I have mixed feelings on the Zero arc episodes, but I remember him being a highlight.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, Gelatin as Ian Woodside does sound different. Gelatin was never a character I paid much attention to, especially during the days of BFDIA.

Daw.

Golf Ball feels like the most consistent character in this series.

I need that book design.

THE BAIT AND SWITCH THAT THE NOISE COMES FROM DAVID LOL

Also Nickel HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

That's supposed to be Four?

“Abandoned trash” FOULLLLLLLLLL

Black Hole hearing disability HC

Me neither

Seriously, I would have found this rivalry more entertaining if there was more to the dynamic.

HAHAAH TREE-SON

So:

Simplified four- Gets a round of approval and high ranking

Calli-graphed four- Gets lowest ranking

Okay

I sure hope they don't forget about this apology in a future episode.

If only they fleshed 8 Ball’s whole thing more. Besides his contrarian thing, all he has is his monotone voice and the number joke. He has a problem with some of these important newbies in that the writers just don't feel interested in doing much with him, which is a shame because BFB’s whole thing was more story oriented writing.


I feel Teardrop turned around to Eggy too quickly. Does anything even come out of this moment? If there was build up to it I would have minded as much.

Besides that, this is the funniest one so far in that it had more funny gags.

SHE DID THE POSE


No more fat jokes everyone!! Yay!

That said, Match was always supposed to be the more abrasive one of the two.

You're oddly chipper about that.

Well, at least she's keeping track.

HAHAAH so trendy

Pie wouldn't have been in the Bottom 2 if she wasn't absent the whole time.

As much as I think Liy was robbed, I feel a good portion of her appeal actually comes from her elimination. I remember voting for her to rejoin in spite of being a Leafy fan.


Do later episodes even remember this moment??


Seriously, there are a lot of questions revolving around these 3 that we still don't even know about these days. Stapy and Liy don't do much and get eliminated. From what I've heard, Foldy got out early in TPOT as well.

“Four, kill this harlot.”

Most of this episode was.. The elimination. I guess there's not much you can do you Paper planes??

Zzzzzzzzz

Funny coming from you

Trendy memes save the day!!!!!!!

Calm before the storm

Ah yes, the start of the Zero storyline.


6 episodes in and they already want to murder this number


Oh my god, imagine watching this in real time. I know I did.

It wasn't too bad, even I found the episodes themselves to be a mixed bag

“BYE”

Seriously, what was the reason for killing off a lot of these contestants, a good portion of which were newbies. I know you can't flesh out everyone, and that's fine. Most of them weren't really important anyway minus Taco which is another weird decision and only served to drag the Book arc even longer. Still, a lot of the more important characters aren't even the newbies, which I find to be a huge let down.

Well, I suppose it's better than killing off half the cast for the split.

I like how while Donut is one of the more “saner” and “rational” contestants, he isn't a complete wet blanket in that it serves to elevate the comedy and dynamics.

This line. GELATIN IS NOT SIX. HE WAS JUST FUCKING WITH DONUT. I wouldn't be as frustrated if people didn't take it as fact.

Lovely heart shaped

Bye Pie

I just realized why I don't like Pin here. She just feels too reliant on Coiny and nothing else? None of her quirks, flaws or anything. It's a massive let down from BFDIA’s characterization. Revival is only insult to the injury that is this season. Even COINY is more consistent here. Man.


Great job Book.

Yeah, I don't think Book really does much outside of her arc.

Taco animation meme:

For the record, I don't mind them. Her floating in space just feels like something I would see there or on Tumblr.


Tempting fate.

Fun fact: I was among the many who voted for Loser to see what would happen.

“One Year Strong” AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhhAhhaHahHahHahHHHaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHa this sure aged.

The only thing I remember from this episode’s commentary were the words “TACO BELL ALERT”

I actually like what they did with Eraser here. One of the cases where giving a character a soft side works. It helps that Eraser really is one of the more low key characters even if he's somewhat of a jerk.

Was Loser really that unpopular, or did some of the voters also want to know what happened??

I don't hate him or anything, I just wanted The Losers to spiral into chaos. That said, I'm not fond of how it's done in the following episodes. Huge waste of a plotline.

I feel another reason as to why BFB bothers me is how specific dynamics are played out. ABBT and The Losers would have benefited much more if the characters had more going for one another than praising one guy. 8-Ball and Basketball compliment one another, how would they interact? How about a storyline where Loser helps Cake become less codependent and they both benefit in having a new friend rather than a fan and his idol? COME ONNN. The show is controversial for understandable reasons, but AIB did much better with team dynamics and they had a similar number of contestants. I understand not wanting to focus on every character, but the Loser club and 8 Ball deserved much better. (I promise I'm not going to bring it up again)

It felt like they forgot about BFB 4 at times. You can tell that 8 Ball respects Golf Ball more, but it's still the same song and dance of “do the worse method”. I dunno, I just wish they did more with the two putting aside their differences. Golf Ball deserves a better rival, and 8 Ball deserved better in general.

What Riveting commentary on Celebrity Culture am I right????

How do you know what vampires are?

Okay that visual gags was funny

Not even close LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Again, I can't believe we were cheated out of a potential plotline with The Losers. I mean… They DID compensate with the Leafy plot(which admittedly is one of the better plots)... Still doesn't change the fact that they teased something that had potential for one, but it ends up getting resolved in like one episode. Especially in Cake's end.

OHHHHH I forgot about that plot point. Explains the Glue in BFDIA 14.

Wowww more riveting commentary. I don't even know what to say here.

Mindless follower. I get mob mentality, but I really wish Cake reacted better with Loser's elimination in general.

Flattened fuck


Yaaayyy now the Book plot is going to be on hold. I feel people wouldn't have as big of an issue with it if Book did literally anything else outside of it.

Imagine this humanized.

Seriously, I hate how Bubble got reduced to a complete pushover.

Don't tease us like that

GOD.

How would they know what sex is anyway?

Since when did anyone care about morality anyway? Barring a few, not many

Live for mixing media like this.

Uh oh.

This was an episode that happened. Yeah.

I still don't care about Loser.

That title is such a tease

I remember the X in the fla file saying “this isn't X”

O_o

Fenestrated planes real!!!!!!11111

That's one way to go about it.

Animation flexing skills

Of course….

They completely forgot about the apology

Do the fumes ever go away??

God this plot is stupid. Like really stupid.

And nobody else gives a shit about this apparently.

For being one of the strongest members, Snowball is such dead weight

Donut is trying to make sure his team doesn't go UFE lol

So much for a Loser-less team. :/

RIGGED LOL

Why was Firey Jr. A part of the speech anyway? It's almost as if he was a joke.

I love the details of BEEP’s banner being their signatures

Well, he's trying his best.

Cheaters never win.

Wiggly Match.

Bye Stapy. We hardly knew you anyway.

Ah yes… the start of Bubble and Fanny’s friendship..

So Coiny does eat dirt after all…

Get some rest dude.

How different would Donut have been if he was multiplied though?

I remember being wanting X to come back in the 7th episode LOL

And then they got separated for many years.

But seriously, will we ever get an explanation for…. EVERYTHING about the Liy-Stapy-Foldy group???

Technically true?

Accurate depiction of your average gym class.


He tried.

How did Pie NOT die? Am I missing something? A lot does happen in this season.

I'm glad they did more with Woody’s character as a coward who tries his best. To be fair, Woody was a joke character in season 1. Seriously, even ROCKY did more for his team and himself.

Remember when we all thought the EXITors died with Four? Remember when we thought Four died?? Lol.

“FORGET GIVING X AN ARC WHERE HE GETS TO STAND MORE ON HIS OWN AND DISCOVERS HIS POWERS, WE NEED FOUR ASAP!!!!!”

Seriously, that was such missed potential.

I get the arc has been going on for a while(this was the point where the episodes were taking longer to make), but I feel having Four be the only solution was a cop out.

I also understand wanting some insight on the EXIT, but I feel it's wayyyyyyy too early for a rejoin.

I dunno. How long has the split been planned???

Uh huh. Friend.

I don't even ship them but lol.

I will say the Zero arc has definitely been more enjoyable compared to the past few episodes. Again, Donut plays off the weirder contestants(literally everyone else) pretty well. I wish TIC got to do more, but alas.

Rowdy Runaway

Seriously, this is disappointing in hindsight.

The fact that X was disappointed seeing the contestants panic for 4… Sucks man. :(

Yeah I now realize one of the reasons why I didn't enjoy this season that much is because of how recovery is done here. 4 is the only recovery center, so the contestants who die have to be recovered in the next episode. Seeing that BFB is more story oriented, they had to change it so either the less important characters die or it has more of a meaning to it. There are plenty of good non death gags like Pen blowing the baskets, but they feel too few and few in between compared to other content. Wouldn't be a big problem if entertainment was still a priority with this show. Also if the other content was enjoyable and not boring.

FORE!!

Okay, these jokes were funny.

Don't make me say it again

AGAIN, I know the episodes took longer to make. But I feel the Zero arc was under baked narrative wise.

Not sure how I feel about Four as a character.

Its moments like these that make me wish BUBBLE WAS THE MAIN CHARACTER. MAYBE THE WRITERS WOULD UNDERSTAND HER CHARACTER BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If only Foldy was relevant.

Sorry, but Remote has a point.

I live for multimedia.

These details are top notch. It says a lot about these characters and I love it.


That one post that says “Pencil: I believe in Men's Rights to SHUT UP”

Implying Spongy is a god??

It feels like they only did this to continue Leafy's plot. Nobody else had a chance.


Return of the voting stock images sheet.

Sorry, but I can't sympathize with Taco here. If someone used me for my own gain, I would be PISSED too.

Don't rub it in.

Seriously, not translating Roboty’s Morse code was asking to boot him out. I feel they could have done something with his depression… That said, object shows do have a history with writing disabled and mentally ill characters VERY poorly… Sigh.


BRACELETLY GOT MORE THAN LIY??????????? I'm sorry… WHY?!

She has potential to be an actual character, but it's clear that the writers weren't interested in making her one.

LOSER GOT SECOND MOST????

Don't tease me like that. I heard the door got explored in TPOT, but I'm not interested in it.

Coiny got over her that quick?

Did anything ever come out of the Dora thing? She was the first BLEH TO GO.

Yayyyy a retread of Bubble’s BFDI arc.

BUT WORSE!!?

They don't care about that crap!!

Seriously, it feels like they switched Match and Pencil 's character.. And made both WORSE.


This Flower sequence is surprisingly dramatic for such a simple competition.



the GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGGGGGG

COOL TRIX

Oh yeah THEY GOT RID OF THE ICONNSSSSSS WHHHHHY

3D cake moment

Don't rub it in…..

Who's singing that intro?

The viewers:

As much as I hate this Freesmart plot, Match DIDN'T really deserve to go.

How does that work? GIVE ME THE LORE


Death is cheap with you around.

I get why they developed Lollipop. They wanted to guarantee she would be safe when BLEH inevitably loses.

I get they wanted to try an arc where a character regresses a bit… But this wouldn't be an issue if they didn't ignore Bubble’s arc entirely. I dunno, there are times were realism can't work as a writing decision.

You just blew your own cover.


SHUT UPPPPP there goes her character development.

I just looooooove how the only way they knew Rocky was the imposter was that he talked…

FOULLLLL

For a character who should be relevant to Book’s arc. Ice Cube is barely a presence. Even DORA is more relevant.


Yeah we get it.

It's funny because they wrote Donut in BFDIA so he'll get eliminated.


Why doesn't Taco want to talk to Lollipop? I guess she's just unsure of her actually standing up for her?

The insanity continues.

The Freesmart plot exhausts me

Honestly, I forgot Saw was a character. She's pink?

Is this about the fumes?

Does this gag ever die? Like ever?

NOW Ice Cube is being relevant????!!!

Sigh…….

Ice Cube deserved better characterization.


Why does Coiny suddenly care about BFDIA? It's the better season, but this comes straight out of the left field.

Thanks for the free advertising.

Not even a dramatic build up???

I dislike Firey Jr., but this elimination is so out of character. I get his recommender hates him but… YOU wrote him to be forgettable. Plus, this doesn't really help well without context. It would fit more if he had a worse reputation in universe.

Seriously, this season treats him like a joke.

I thought he was going to swear?

Teeny coooobe

More with the advertising. So subtleeeee.

“Potatoes in a bunch”

Uh huh

This is asking to endanger everyone. No wonder most people left Four LMAAAAAOOO

Something something no context

"I'M X'S ONLY TREASURE!" This is just fueling the shippers. I still don't know how to feel about Four to be honest. I wish X’s arc was longer.

We get it, Clock is forgettable.

Leafy still feels off?

Since when did they care??

“Not mentally!!”

Seriously, did Bubble's arc grind to a fucking half

Why aren't their thoughts captioned?! So much for accessibility.

LMAAAAAOOO

Golf Ball is not evil by any means, but she does have the foundations to be one.

Not helping.

Thanks for the visuals.

THANKS A LOT GRASSY.

I can't feel bad for Basketball. You constantly sabotage the challenges. Hell, YOU are the one who decided to replace Golf Ball with 8-Ball. She's abrasive about it sure, but she has a good reason not to trust you.


Ruby also feels so… Off? She just doesn't bounce off these members that well. I can't really articulate it at the moment.

SHATTER SOUND LMAO

And Fanny is back to being one Note. I was just starting to like her.

Loser kinning.

Seriously, this Loser plot is just so… Disjointed? They're fighting for the sake of Loser, but I feel the way they go about it isn't compelling. I feel it would be more interesting if they struggled more. Like Eggy and Pin butting heads over leadership or what to do. This just feels like a distraction from the inevitable Firey-Leafy plot. Which… Okay fine, it's one of the better plots, but that's not saying much when most of them suck or got cut short.

Yeah, Pin’s characterization is so inconsistent between seasons it hurts. :(

She used to be confident! What happened? I'm guessing Loser, but that's still a flimsy excuse. I don't really hate Loser, but I do dislike how it makes other characters useless.

We get it, she's also forgettable.

I heard TPOT does something with her, but I'm not sure if the thing it does with her is good OR bad.


Title drop.

I just can't believe BFDI of all things did Bubble’s arc better.

This goes hard.

I want to make the joke sooo badly.

AND THEY KILL HER??? WE'RE MID ARCCCCCC FUCKS SAKE

It wouldn't be bad if recovery worked the way it did in other seasons. This is just writing her out.

I feel this would have been impactful if we were actually shown a reason to believe Book more.

BOOK LORE I'll take what I can get

Apparently the split is at episode 16 so two episodes left?

I don't know why they don't just split it into parts like BFDIA did?

Hahaha… THIS poll. Were they even honest with us?

LOREEEEE

This imagery… So GOOOOD.

Yeah, a lot of these scenes would be awkward humanized. No wonder people are shifting to humanoids.

CONTAINER LOREEEEEEEE


Too bad she won't have the water for long….

This is still writing Bubble out, sorry.

OBJECT LORE

Rupees

They hate each other so much LMAAAAAOOO

That one meme about diamonds


Don't diss Golf Ball like that!

Wall jump!!

It's interesting how the art quality shifted over time? I mean wasn't the bad quality supposed to ensure that the episodes get out faster? Then again, I did hear there were some internal arguments.


I love for BFB’s backgrounds, if nothing else.


Or lava??

Seconds before disaster.

The poor people living in the area:

LOL

You tell me

Our first casualty

Well no arguing with that??

Seriously!?!

Sorry but I can sympathize with you on that. Unless we aren't meant to feel bad for Spongy? It's still framed as sad and sudden but whatever.

They are fucked.

Good Lord

Something something object shows are inherently weird

He just left them to die.

Okay, some of these gags are funny.

Dot eyes.

Yeah, this episode isn't too bad in terms of gags. I still can't take Spongy’s plot seriously though LMAO.

BAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH that is so unhinged. Oh Golf Ball.

Just let her be SMH

Even though the plotlines leave a lot to be desired, I will say the lava saga is definitely the most fun I've had with this season by humor alone. Previous episodes had funny gags, but they weren't really enough to get me through the painfully boring or embarrassing plotlines. Also some characters were boring but that's a given with a cast as big as this.

The thing about the plotlines is that… It's very clearly intended to be taken seriously, which could be a problem if the story fails to give us a reason to care.


UH OH

They finally brought up the Imposter thing with Pin

I wonder how BFDIA and IDFB are going to have Pin and Book be cool with each other again. Considering she currently HATES them in BFDIA.

In that same season, Pencil actually gave you a chance?????? Many times??? Match is more of a jerk, but still. Again, we're supposed to take this seriously, but the episodes themselves contradict this stupid plot.


THREE. NICKELS.

SAY IT LOUDER PIN

MY EARS

Short person joke :skull:

FLAT FUCK

What are their canon heights anyway?

NOOOOOOOOOO

NOT A GOOD TIME

You're immune to lava?? You are able to slap Firey for a reason.

Aww… This is actually heart warming… BFDI actually made me feel bad for a character???? Haven't felt that since BFDIA....


BAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH okay you got me there.

THE ICONS ARE BAAAAACK YAY!!!

Swag.

Yeah, I know the pacing in object shows is pretty bad.

Leafy’s voice acting feels… Off?? I'm not experienced in it but something just doesn't feel right.

OHHH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

THIS SHIT.


YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I WAITED FOR AN ANSWER. The writers went out of their way to not explain why Firey forgot Leafy, so I KNEW something was up.

This conflict is more complicated than Baseball-Suitcase and most other conflicts, and that's sad.

I feel this would have been a stronger reasoning if the Losers were more apprehensive towards Leafy BUT everyone else was still wary of her. Most of Leafy’s interactions up to this point was with her teammates. That said, Firey definitely has an actual reason to dislike her compared to season 1.

The bait and switch to reveal that BLEH didn't die LMAO

I don't remember if I voted here? I remember voting every episode after the 4th, but not who besides Loser.

Dora may have carried the challenges, but competition value doesn't automatically equate to entertainment value. That and most of the others were valuable for the Book plot.

Okay but this is really cute.

Even Teardrop isn't pleased.

They interrupted the big talk.

They remembered Ice Cube was friends with Leafy at some point. God.

GET WRECKED PILLOW

These dream gags are funny, I'll give them that.
I know it's a call back, but I was expecting Book's happy thoughts to be different.

I want the full song IDC

Now you know how it feels.

How does Michael not get a sore throat from voicing Four??

“Dying not allowed” BAHAHA this is the dying show.

I love how nobody else on the Losers actually care for their drama.

Puffball pro bullet hell player. Only NOW is she relevant…

GO PUFFBALL

DIEEEEEEE SUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

STOP STALLING

I just wish they talked it out here and not


...That episode...


Four lore

This imagery goes hard

She's not even trying….

YAAAAAAAYYY the Factory is back.


I TOLD YOU COINY

Problem solved??

Because you know you would get out. Which you were supposed to do next episode? You blew the challenge, I don't know WHAT you expected.


I know it’s a mainstream romance song, but I’m surprised “Maps” by Maroon 5 isn’t in any of these Leafy/Fireafy playlists. Especially in regards to BFDIA Leafy. Seriously, you could interpret a lot of those lyrics as events that happened throughout the show.


Coiny is just sick of this shit.

We know your malding Leafy, don't try to hide it.

AAAAAND THATS IT!! After 15 days, the marathon is finally complete!!




And that's BFB, huh?? It's fresh in my mind and… I don't know how to feel about it. I still stand by a lot of my opinions. In fact, watching it again only makes the story based aspect look even worse. It wasn't completely bad. Donut and Woody got retooled into better characters. When the slapstick and visual gags were good, they were GOOD. And the Lava saga for all its issues more than made up for it. That said, the writing decisions for the longest time killed my enjoyment for the season, and the comedy couldn't even make up for it. Honestly, the way BFB handles plotlines could be a whole conversation. I know BFDI is a comedy at the end of the day but… BFB WANTED US TO TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. Most of the older characters got changed into lesser versions of themselves or rehauled into even flatter ones, and most of the newer characters were out of focus and not nearly as entertaining. I couldn't enjoy the characters, I couldn't enjoy the plotlines, and the jokes for a while were pretty hit or miss. I can wait long periods of time, I just don't like watching episode to episode hoping SOMETHING will change. And I watch BFDI to be entertained. It's not that I hated it because it was new. I enjoyed revival BFDIA despite its issues. It's just the way the new stuff was implemented changed things for the worst.


That's not even getting into how the storytelling affected OTHER object shows. Most of the members are kids so I won't hold it against them. Still, it did lead to arguments over “the right way to do X” which is a whole other issue entirely.

And I FORGOT THAT POST SPLIT WAS DETERMINED BY A POLL. Doesn't change the fact that some of the choices were bad. They didn't put Tennis Ball in PS, why didn't they do the same for characters such as Bubble?

At this point, I don't even care if post split is good or not. I'm tired of BFB, I don't want more of it. It's just something along the lines of Invitational where it's just plain boring… Although that's probably not the best comparison, because at least BFB is mostly inoffensive. XP

As you guessed, I won't be seeing TPOT either. As much as I want to see the newbies be more fleshed out… I don't really have much of a reason to watch it for the reasons stated above.
