I think in TPOT they should put up Death PACT again and TSTOE since both teams take up a majority of the votes when ever they are up. It would be interesting to see what would happen.

DPA is going up for voting too much.

I'm so glad its BFDIA tho. Although it had its very short lifespan for over a decade, it was still my favorite season and what got me into object shows in the first place.

I literally agree with this. TPOT episodes 1 and 2 were literally one of the best BFDI episodes for me because of the more focused character interactions. Those episodes didn't have the same boring stale formula that TPOT 3-6 followed. This was basically because a ton of character arcs formed during those two episodes, but the later episodes literally forgot a million arcs and TPOT's now becoming the next post-spilt. Following modern TPOT's habit of making characters irrelevant and forgetting like every single arc that happens, its no surprise that TPOT is less in quality now. Like, there are barely any interactions that carry over to the next episode nowadays. Like the Winner and Clock arc, Teardrop and Eggy relationship, Robot Flower sabotaging her team in TPOT 5, and some more. I don't think TPOT is the worst season, but BFDIA is starting to become even more exciting than TPOT at this point…

unfortunately satomi was the reason episodes were taking so long like she said herself and there were creative differences
she was a good writer tho
also of course bfdia is more exciting because it finally came back after a DECADE

ugh yeah i dont get why ive seen so many ppl say tpot is ‘getting better with each episode’ cuz it feels like the quality significantly shifted after satomi stopped writing for it, hell it even felt off in tpot 2. theres just this very particular stilted feeling to so much of what happens the jokes feel so forced all the voicelines and character beats feel just slightly overexagerated and flanderized enough to throw things off a bit. i get bfdi isnt really meant to have story arcs and honestly i dont care if they dont wanna do more of those, but most people enjoy bfdi becuz of the characters and the gags nd stuff!!!! at the very least they should be able to keep their characters like… consistent?? actually interacting with characters established as friends and make interactions actually worth anything?? they managed to do that in the 2010s, i dont see why they seem to struggle with it so much now.

(also honestly i feel… kinda weird about bfdia being continued? like its one of my favorite seasons by far, it and idfb mean a lot to me, but i honestly never felt like we needed more bfdia..? this is probably becuz i first joined the osc when idfb was brand new i wasnt there for the years long wait, but just idk man the ‘deleted scenes’ and stuff they shared later on all seemed to me like the episode wouldve just led into idfb anyways, and having bfdia just continue onwards as if idfb doesnt exist kinda stings a bit. again its probably mostly just my bias shining through but oh well. anyways the episode honestly felt really mid imo it still has a lot of the weird writing jank i dislike from tpot and post-split. albiet ive only watched it like once maybe id warm up to it more overtime but like. some of the ideas are fun it just doesnt do them well at all it all feels really stupid and not in the charming way bfdi usually is for me

Yeah and the crew wanted more casual episodes so there was bound to be some disagreements. But even still, its weird why the TPOT episodes are so weirdly written now when episodes from 2012 and earlier are better..

i wouldnt say they hate on it although i have seen some people be overly critical (ive probably done that myself a lot tbh XD), i feel like peoples complaints mostly come from a place of loving the series, or at least thats how it is for me. honestly i personally dont care that much if the newer stuff doesnt totally click with me in the grand scheme of things, theres other things i like, theres still the older episodes i adore, and the crew seems to be enjoying what theyre doing, in the end i mostly just ‘complain’ cuz i enjoy critiquing the things i like. cant say much for other ppl in the fanbase though, and the ‘fans growing to hate the source material’ phenomenon is at least no where near as bad as it has been w ii these past few years XD

anyone want to hear my theory about Leafy? too lazy busy modding a flash game as a joke to post it right now, but just seeing if anyone would even respond if I posted it
sure go for it. always fun to hear peoples theories on stuff
ERROR: too lazy to engage essay mode
okay so basically my theory is that the reason Leafy is so nice all the time is that she is really self-conscious about what people think of her, so she tries really hard to be everyone's friend, hence her niceness seeming fake
aaaand no response

aw man im sorry i just saw this

im bad at keeping up with the forums consistently.. i wish theyd notify you properly for quotes or smthn but i guess thatd get annoying for big threads..
fun theory! i honestly agree with it, so much of the way she acts reads as like overcompensating for something, itd make sense if that was the case

I’m pretty confused on why BFDIA is being continued because it would mess with the lore and continuity. For one, in BFB when Firey is eliminated Four says it’s the first time he’s been eliminated, which won’t be true unless Firey wins again (which won’t happen). Also if there is another winner it would outdate the BFDI Mouth short with the winners see saw and stuff. Also also in BFB 30 (or 29 idk), Annoucner talks about BFDIA being cancelled. If BFDIA continues, does that mean that IDFB just doesn’t exist in cannon?!?
There’s definitely a lot more that is wrong with BFDIA continuing, but I’m to lazy to type it all out.

perhaps the BFDIA 6 voting was a red herring and they just made the episode for continuity with IDFB?
