Mal, Sierra and Lindsay: TDAS Rewritten

I love Sierra in World Tour and the changes you made are really great and natural feeling. She 100% should have obsessed over the ROTI contestants and used her knowledge of 1st and 2nd gen contestants to benefit herself in the game, while still being a crazy b*tch and funny, so she's not a villain or anything.

Bro making a season antagonist better than professional paid writters could

I love the idea that mal is a somewhat twisted protector who takes everything too far or in the wrong way

the fact you managed to make the ddi work and make sense is astounding to me, while also giving mal a genuine origin, motive, and making him seem less of a parasite and more of a misguided alter, i like this a lot you made use of what you had instead of removing or adding unnecessary things i believe total drama can work as a serious and light hearted show, there should be a great balance, but we all love good angst actual good work here, i like it

I subscribe to the idea that Lindsay was playing dumb in front of the people who wronged her to mess with them (Heather, Courtney, Alejandro). This theory was stated in BHUltra’s Total Drama Contestant Video, and I really like the idea of it. (Also where was it said that Coderra is canon cause if it actually is then I might just jump off a cli- /hj)

Mal really could only have worked as a dark villain, and while TD would never do it I wished they made him truly Dark so that they could go all the way with writing him. That, or not include him at all. Mal should have been a personality manifested when Mike got hurt badly by some particularly mean bullies to the point he had to be checked into a hospital breifly and Mal's only goal should be to help Mike by trying to remove any 'bigger bullies' then him by doing whatever it takes. He shouldn't be physically strong to a cartoonish degree, he should be so dangerous due to a his own plotting and scheming combined with complete lack of morals to the point of being willing and ready to kill or maim like he did with Cameron. His defeat should be him being tied up and being carried to the edge of a cliff in Mike's conscious by Vito and Manitoba to be dropped into his subconscious as he begs Mike to let him go as all he tried to do is help Mike when in reality he did nothing prove to be dangerous and unpredictable and Mike out grew him, not needing him any more. During their talk it should be revealed that Mike, or rather Mal got in Juve is because he chased down and beat the bullies that beat up Mike originally almost to death before Mike regained control before he permanently injured them (Or even killed if they'd prefer) just remaining in a shell shocked state until the police came and arrested him, Mal should have bean a dangerous and violent person in Juve but genuinely be trying to connect with Mike and his other alters, letting them out on a schedule and trying to convince them that reacting the criminals there locked up with by using violence to protect themselves is right before Mike sealed him away. Also Mal should have reappeared due to Mike beating up his alters in ROTI, him being that 'bigger bully' awaking Mal to show the consequences of his actions and he should took full control of Mike's body after he got beat up and nearly eliminated due to Heather, Scott and/or Alejandro's actions, causing Mal to resurface to help combat what he sees as just more 'bigger bullies'.

1.) I love what you did with Lindsay. You were able to make her feel like a first boot in a much less forced way. 2.) I also love the Sierra plot. What they did in canon was so weird and unnecessary considering her development at the end of World Tour. Still don't understand why they thought making her even more unstable would be fine. While I understand why you kept hers and Lindsay's elimination placements the same, personally I think one of them should make a deep run with Courtney since they're the only gen 1 characters in the cast that haven't made a finale before All Stars. I feel like it just makes sense to keep them as long as possible so that the winners of the season stay suspenseful. 3.) Your take on Mal was infinitely better than the real shows. My biggest problem with him (other than being OP) was always his lack of motivation. I'm so glad you decided to fix that. Personally, I would've nixed the brain adventure all together but yours seems like it would've been way more fun than canon's version so I'm fine with it here.

The main thing I changed about Lindsay in my rewrite was that she actually wanted to be eliminated first, and was smart enough to spite the people who had done her wrong in the past (annoying Heather, letting Courtney get crushed, calling Alejandro the wrong name), and as a result thats why she cheered when she got voted off. (I guess its less a rewrite more a re-interpretation of canon though)

Sierra deserved so much better than what the All Stars writers did to her. They had the opportunity to mature her in terms of her codependency and let us enjoy the more non-Cody aspects of her character that made her stick out to her fans in world tour. It could have been a great point of redemption for her character, and I'll never not be mad that we were robbed of it.

I think that Mal should’ve eliminated Alejandro in an ironic way. Kinda mirroring how he eliminated his male victims in season 3. Here’s how it can go: - Alejandro reveals to someone other than Duncan what he saw and Mal is secretly eavesdropping (Noah) but this person doesn’t buy it - Mal also finds that his charisma/popularity can be a threat if it goes unchecked (Owen) - Mal makes an short alliance with someone who’s already on the chopping block like Scott and he promises to vote off Alejandro (Tyler) - Mal sabotages the challenge to injure Alejandro (DJ) and make him weaker - Mal convinces Zoey to team up with him to ensure that Alejandro won’t win (Duncan) - Mal (or Zoey or another character) may also distract Alejandro during the challenge and he falls down (Cody) - When Alejandro is about to get flushed, Mal tells him to face elimination with honor or maybe tell him that Heather would love a guy with honor (Harold) My idea is that Mal doubts that he can take Alejandro in a fight. He would then play dirty and torment him psychologically when he knows that he can no longer fight back. Also, people have a hard time trusting him now because of his past performance and they are more likely to trust Mike, who pits everyone against him. That would’ve been entertaining because of the irony. I think that an aftermath would’ve been nice. I would’ve love to see how Cody, Noah, Leshawna, Bridgette and other victims would react seeing him going out like that. They might start a roasting session if there’s an aftermath episode right after his elimination. What do you think? Do you think that Mal sounds more cruel?

Lindsay: I like what you did here. She needs to be first boot, it works best that way. I like how all you really changed was just some dialogue touch ups, ones that I can agree with for the most part. Sierra: Sierra is the only character I don't actually love this season, she's ok. So I agree 100% here, and I'm all for seeing a character ship Zoke in canon. Mal/Mike: I think the ideas you presented are amazing, but I don't think they would fit into the show very well. I think the 'twisted protector' idea was really cool, and could be used well in the show. I would dial it back a bit, but I'd keep some of it. This would make an AWESOME fanfic, though. I don't think it would translate into an TD season on TV very well, though. 19:21 : Mal does state what he'd do with the money. Regrettably, I cannot quote it verbatim, or remember the episode, but it's among the lines of; "What I'll do with the million? Spend it on a luxurious house, preferably overlooking a volcano." Balloons: 100000% agree with you that it should just be a peanut gallery. The cast flying up into the sun is genuinely stupid and the only thing that upsets me about All Stars.

The Mal and Sierra rewrites were PERFECT way way way better than the accual All-Stars, Lindsay's rewrite was goid but obviously wouldn't have much screen time for obvious reasons

Damn, you managed to make Mal a likable character. I like this new story for Mike and agree that his personalities should stay afterwards. However, I feel like him getting to the finale is unnecessary. Maybe itd be better for his plotline to finish a bit earlier and give someone else the spotlight and a chance to win.

Good rewrites. All of your ideas should have been part of actual season. Honestly I think when it came to the choice of cast and eliminations, it should have gone something like this within the 13 episode formula. The Heroic Hamsters: Courtney Mike Zoey Cameron Sierra Cody Brick Lindsay The Villainess Vultures: Heather Alejandro Gwen Duncan Scott Jo Anne Maria Lightning Eliminations: (16th) Lindsay (15th) Lightning (14th) Anne Maria Courtney and Gwen swap teams (13th) Cody (12th) Brick (11th) Jo (10th) Sierra (9th) Heather Merge (8th) Cameron Injured (7th and 6th) Gwen and Duncan* (5th) Alejandro (4th and 3rd) Mal/Mike and Scott Courtney Vs Zoey (Winner/Runner-up) Zoey (Runner-up/Winner) Courtney Zoey helpers: Gwen and Cameron Courtney helpers: Heather and Alejandro. Duncan was flushed with Gwen as punishment after Chris discovered who blew up his cottage, he would end up with Gwen at Niagara Falls and would go down the falls with Gwen Mal returned to the island in the final along with Scott as they were flushed to Boney island. Mal would try to steal the million dollars which was chilling in the tower with Chef.

Honestly I really liked this interpretation of Mike's subplot, and it would've been very interesting seeing Mike's past implemented in this way. However, Mal actually did have a motivation. In episode 12, Mal stated that he would use the million to buy an evil lair to help with world domination, and in a way, he wanted control, control he never had before All Stars from before. He didn't have control over Mike's mind until All Stars, and so he'd want some control outside of Mike as compensation. Regardless, this motive wasn't well handled as it was shoved to us in the 2nd last episode, and your interpretation was so much better, however at least Mal had a motive unlike other villains like Scott or Sugar

Love All Stars because it's a first TD season but this is amazing. Too amazing. Love this. ^^

Imagine if Zoey’s main interaction for the first half of the season was with Sierra instead of Mike or Cameron. Sierra could be trying to get Mike and Zoey together, and Zoey can get a little suspicious that there’s something wrong with Mike in this time, while not fully catching on that Mal is in control, since she’s interacting with other characters and doesn’t get that many chances to talk to him.

Voiceunderthecovers would make a good Santa Claus Kid trying to make he list Voiceunderthecovers: you know what FUCK THAT LIST 20:34

I love your rewrites for Sierra and Mal, I also have a good idea how to rewrite Lindsay. Everything stays the same until the challenge, Courtney forces Lindsay to push just like in canon. Instead of Courtney going first she goes last. Lindsay doesn’t forget on how to push a kart. She does it normally but gets more and more tired. Then it’s Courtney’s turn, and Courtney constantly complains about how slow Lindsay is and how she is lazy. This builds anger to Lindsay. She than says,”well I am trying my best.” Courtney rolls her eyes saying”Of course this is your best, what should I expect from you.” Courtney says. This makes Lindsay ask”what does she mean.” Courtney then tells her that”your just a dumb failure, that’s all you have ever been, a weak dumb lazy failure.” This makes Lindsay snap and she stands up to her self just like she did to heather. This makes Courtney mad and she says in the confessional,”Oh Lindsay is going down!” The hero’s lose the challenge and Courtney convinces the others to kick out Lindsay. This works and Lindsay leaves with her diginity in tact

I hate how Sierra in All-Stars lost her 2nd most iconic trait: being a huge fan of TD and I'd also make her have friend moments with Heather (like maybe a scene where Heather leaves for a moment the Winners Mansion and Gwen or Alejandro goes on to spy on her suspecting an evil scheme but it just turn out to be that she just went to have chatting with Sierra). 8:45 What's the song for Mike's part?
