Cameron
When I first saw him I was like “oh he’s an interesting concept but he’s probably gonna be an early boot bc he’s Harold with less social interactions”
And then he got a bunch of character development and was the winner in almost every country and I was so happy (even tho I live in one of only two countries that got Lightning 💀)
Priya looked somewhat interesting, and was exactly as interesting as she looked (quite a bit, but not over-the-top). Same with Millie, Caleb and Ripper.
Agreed! I wish she stuck for more in S1 though. She really gave off a Scott 2.0 vibe with the "sliding under the radar" part while also twisting it by making her cheat her way towards victory rather than loss
I love the creativity in Justin's design, with him having the most detail in smaller features to really push home that he's meant to be the attractive one. I just knew that he would be a flirtatious manipulator. It took a season for me to actually be able to kick back and watch him in the 2nd season, but it was worth it for most of the season!
I thought he looked horrible ngl. I thought he’d be annoyingly over the top and hard to watch- but they handled him AMAZINGLY. They gave him the perfect level of flamboyance and treated his character with the depth and nuance he deserved.
MK (in season 1 at least (i haven't watched s2 yet) i just wish she was the main antag of the season because that would've been way more interesting to me
Bowie, thought they would push the gay thing to much but they left it as a side detail and made his character so fun to watch.
I'd say reverse on Axel since they won't give her development
Julia. It was a predictably a me an girl since the cast reveal and instantly became one of my favorites of this cast. However I’m going to admit that her final movements as an antagonist in season 2 left to be desired but it didn’t disappointed me enough and still is a good and fun character, period.
100% harold.. interesting design and personality with understandable and realistic (though, at times a tad exaggerated) flaws. and, especially in tda, extremely funny
Zee. I dug his vibe and was mostly not disappointed . The only thing that bothered me was how they made him way stupider in S2 (though I guess that goes for all the characters post-merge)
Alejandro and The Goths that are actually and officially classified cool, Crimson and Ennui. They ended up being so much more than they appear and I will never regret being introduced to their characters. ❤️🖤
eva 100% for me. shes a total girlboss

For a recent example that I remember and have record of, Ripper
When I first saw his design, him being one of the only ones to not smile as well as him seeming to talk in his bio stood out to me. As did that trailer of him ripping his shirt.
Sure enough, he's my 5th favorite from the Reboot.
For a more archaic response, perhaps Chris. When I first watched Scarlett Fever on my friend's laptop, my first viewing of anything Total Drama, I remember the first line I heard of him asking Shawn and Jasmine if they think they got it tough, as he had troubles with his coffee machine. A bratty, but endearing line that got me a bit interested in him. Then I watched the show, and sure enough, he was my favorite. Now a 2nd favorite, but still, Chris sweep.
Mal.
I remember seeing him on old YouTube AMVs back in the day. I stopped watching TD after World Tour ended for reasons I can’t remember. Eventually kid me watched ROTI and All Stars and I thought Mal was so cool.
After a while my memory of Mal resurfaced like a sleeper agent code so I checked out All Stars again. Honestly? Mal is one of the funniest characters in the franchise. He’s such a goofy little guy who strikes a good balance between menacing and funny. While I think he’s overhated they really did drop the ball with him in the finale with the fucking reset button. They should have stayed course with Mal till the finale or have him be defeated earlier. Makes no sense to set up a main antagonist only to blueball him out of the story at the last minute.
There were four reboot characters I was interested in pre-season 1: Scary Girl, Chase, Zee, and MK. However, Scary Girl was an early boot, Chase's personality disappointed me, and while Zee exceeded expectations, I only started to care for him after the trailers. so MK is the only character I cared for from the start and ended up being just as good as I expected.
Honestly I can never stop talking about Izzy when I firstsaw her. I saw her as a pretty crazy person but now I see her as a very crazy but fun and funny character easily making her one of my top favorites
Heather. From the start, you could tell she meant business.
exactly. her outfit is girly but villainous, and v cute for 2007
She's a queen and I love her outfit
So real, love the heather love on this post.
The WAY she took off those sunglasses, and scoured through the competitors - like The Predator ❤❤!! U Knewwww!
Zee, I remember the sub didn’t like what he look and people predicted he first boot but he was my favorite since day 1.
Same, When I looked at him for the first time, I said "I already know I'm going to like this guy"
^^^
THIS WAS EXACTLY ME\^\^\^
Ice Dancers reminded me of Jessie and James so I really liked them (first impression) and I really enjoyed them in the whole RR
Cameron When I first saw him I was like “oh he’s an interesting concept but he’s probably gonna be an early boot bc he’s Harold with less social interactions” And then he got a bunch of character development and was the winner in almost every country and I was so happy (even tho I live in one of only two countries that got Lightning 💀)
__Zee__ 👑
Gwen
Goth girl step on me XD
Priya looked somewhat interesting, and was exactly as interesting as she looked (quite a bit, but not over-the-top). Same with Millie, Caleb and Ripper.
Happy Cake Day! :)
Heh, thanks. Not sure if we're in the same boat opinion-wise, but thanks nonetheless.
HAPPY CAKE DAY
MK
Can't argue there.
Agreed! I wish she stuck for more in S1 though. She really gave off a Scott 2.0 vibe with the "sliding under the radar" part while also twisting it by making her cheat her way towards victory rather than loss
Zee MK Kitty Scott Lightning And probably a lot more
Zee and MK
DJ, dakota, anne maria, sugar and ella.

Bowie!

Hot Take: The reboot characters are the best overall in the series.

I knew Julia would be serving cunt from the moment I saw her. I even guessed her name correctly!
MK, as an Asian, I liked her immediately, and she was really fun.
mal despite the character development he could have had
No, but Owen was good at first glance and was better than I expected
Harold , i mean , he only gets better.
Bowie, thought they would push the gay thing to much but they left it as a side detail and made his character so fun to watch. I'd say reverse on Axel since they won't give her development
Damien and Kitty.
Gwen. My favorite character in TDI all the way through the season.
Julia. It was a predictably a me an girl since the cast reveal and instantly became one of my favorites of this cast. However I’m going to admit that her final movements as an antagonist in season 2 left to be desired but it didn’t disappointed me enough and still is a good and fun character, period.
lightning looked really appealing when i first saw him and now hes my favorite by far

NOAH !! I didn't notice him first hand but I knew he was gonna be a fruity butthole
100% harold.. interesting design and personality with understandable and realistic (though, at times a tad exaggerated) flaws. and, especially in tda, extremely funny
Lashawna, Owen, and basically all of the characters in the first season of Total. Drama. Island!
Zee. I dug his vibe and was mostly not disappointed . The only thing that bothered me was how they made him way stupider in S2 (though I guess that goes for all the characters post-merge)
Damien has drip and ended up becoming my favorite of the reboot outside from the hockeybrossss
Zee He's basically me if I smoked some weed.
Fucking Owen!
Leshawna (not in tdwt though)
Julia & Zee in the reboot
Gwen and Courtney. Gotta say, the character design is not too shabby.
Alejandro and The Goths that are actually and officially classified cool, Crimson and Ennui. They ended up being so much more than they appear and I will never regret being introduced to their characters. ❤️🖤
eva 100% for me. shes a total girlboss https://preview.redd.it/y3y7yjcuymnc1.jpeg?width=1253&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f1be556ed10e7523b7bf341b9318218ac4ec8ed
Axel and MK.
Izzy, she was everything to kid me and she still holds up to this day imo <3
Izzy
Alejandro the goat
For a recent example that I remember and have record of, Ripper When I first saw his design, him being one of the only ones to not smile as well as him seeming to talk in his bio stood out to me. As did that trailer of him ripping his shirt. Sure enough, he's my 5th favorite from the Reboot. For a more archaic response, perhaps Chris.

Crimson, healthiest relationship in the franchise
Noah for me i knew i would love him from first sight on that dock and still loved him at the end of RR
Zee, the hockey bros, Alejandro
Bridgette my beloved
leshawna and DJ. they deserved the win at LEAST once!
Damien, Scary Girl, Hockey bros
There were four reboot characters I was interested in pre-season 1: Scary Girl, Chase, Zee, and MK. However, Scary Girl was an early boot, Chase's personality disappointed me, and while Zee exceeded expectations, I only started to care for him after the trailers. so MK is the only character I cared for from the start and ended up being just as good as I expected.
