Princess Emily
[champions, comics and superheroes in general] you know what I don't like? the trend of turning a small team into a super huge one
Princess Emily
I like group dynamics, psuedo "found family" tropes carried out through a small team
Princess Emily
you lose out on so much just adding every hero the team comes across into the roster
Princess Emily
also the main reason I got out of, like, Young Justice once it got to season 2
Princess Emily
it's cast bloat
Princess Emily
and it's so weird to me when I see other people, like, incredibly excited by this cast bloat
Princess Emily
I've seen plenty of people (even just on plurk) talk about how the last season of animated Teen Titans was their favorite because they were rapidly expanding their roster and had hoped for another season where they added even more people,
Princess Emily
or how they loved it when Young Justice just started getting over a dozen members and kept adding more,
Princess Emily
and in comics how now the Champions are recruiting so many people and can probably rival or beat Young Justice now,

I mean, I love Justice League Unlimited and that’s the biggest cast ever
EsperBot
But JLU also had really clear demarcations, like, THESE GUYS are the main cast, and THESE GUYS are just also there, don’t expect them to show up much.
Princess Emily
ah, yes, I totally love the
/checks writing on hand
lack of character focus and sacrifice of character dynamics in favor of having just more characters
Princess Emily
I don't get it
PeterTurbo
But more ACTION FIGURES!
PeterTurbo
note: I agree with you
dragon time
Part of the reason I like Beast Wars is that they constantly had to put in more characters as demanded because toys
dragon time
But they didn't have the budget for all the CGI a true cast bloat demanded
dragon time
So every time a new character showed up and stuck around, one of the regulars would have to exit
dragon time
Usually by being murdered
dragon time
Sometimes by just leaving
dragon time
Once they just fused two characters into one new character
dragon time
Literally fused, because robots
