Bobby having some character development ✔️ Bobby's character development making him a villain ✔️ Wait, what?

2026-01-21 16:35:25 +0000 UTCI just realized Lucky wanted Bobby to keep Ramona with him because the ball is bound to her; not only is he getting Bobby's patchwork team on his quest, he'll also get Riley's team and boom just like that 5/7 of the party of promise. That's savvy.

2026-01-20 13:45:56 +0000 UTCNicely done, you’ve been setting up Bobby’s conflict with the rest of the group for some time. I’m idly curious as to whether you didn’t get to it yet because you had other things or because you were working it out. Edit: and having ‘Bobby’ be the first word was Smart Writing.

2026-01-18 01:18:39 +0000 UTCHe deserves a troupe that makes it possible for him to become a secondary villian and give the cast narrative momentum by defeating him

2026-01-17 11:54:01 +0000 UTCI don’t think Bobby has realised he is acting more like the villain who sacrifices others to get what he wants than a background character making dumb decisions.

2026-01-17 11:53:13 +0000 UTCI thought that was a funny reference to how the readers felt about her.

2026-01-17 05:13:37 +0000 UTCOh no Bobby. Also yeah I really do feel for him and his wife. But man is he going for a fall.

2026-01-17 04:56:13 +0000 UTCGood character twist. Also, that was very rude of that character who 'almost stopped watching because of Janet'. I'm assuming they were objecting to her behavior over downtime between films? If you're spying on trapped people, ya get what ya get.
