Not sure how the (newer) cast is more interesting. I liked Treasures of Kerub, but I didn't like the Julith movie so much. Hence why i think the best development with the wakfu characters happen when they are just by themselves (See: Eva in Rubilaxia, Grovy in the desert, etc.)įive is a pretty big number for a group and that makes character development tricky, and as you said, most of their development has been reached.ĪLso, would it kill Ankama to have a decent/good xelor dude/gal? I think Ankama is very good at working with a single character or a very small group (read: not five) of characters. He was charming but bland in the first two seasons and i think they're trying to add depth but as you said, it's just bland angst that you see with other shonen protags. They're not dropping Yugo because he's the main character and the lynch pin that brings everyone together. Like Ruel, they don't have the heart to bench them or replace them.Īmalia is weird because they kind of do stuff with her and getting her involved with the plot due to shit happening to Sadida, but sometimes they're like "eh" about it. There was a chance develop her and her past in season 2 but they blew it for love triangle shenanigans. Eva's character is pretty strictly tied to Grovy. They cannot bring themselves to not do stuff with Grovy and i think that's getting tiring even though I like the character. As fans complained, Ruel doesn't do much anymore but they don't seem to have the heart to oust him or make an effort to write him doing stuff. Yeah, Ankama is really weird with the group. Perhaps that's why Ankama's comics that aren't centered on the BoT are the more interesting ones (IMO) they give us a chance to meet new people, see the WoT from a new perspective, instead of just going through "BoT adventure #65" knowing that ultimately the characters will come out of it unchanged. It put a lot more focus on personal growth and you were always learning a bit more about him and the people who mattered in his life, organically. But most of that happened by the Rubilaxia arc and now things are fairly static other than Adamai turning coats and Amalia growing into her responsibilities.ĭofus, on the other hand, showed us Kerub's evolution throughout several periods of his life, as well as his relationships with a few important side characters (Lou, Indie, Squale, Luis, his old crew.). Ruel learned to value his friends above personal gain. Tristepin got the girl and made peace with Rubilax. I think another important difference between Dofus and Wakfu is that the group dynamics in Wakfu don't evolve nearly as much. Even Wakfu had a pretty good variety of stories in its villain-of-the-week segments, it's just that they overstayed their welcome. Despite the many challenges he faces-the difficult physical therapy, an emotional break-up with the girl he loves, and dark moments that threaten to consume him-Cory prevails, with the love and support of his best friend, his family, his school and, most importantly, his own indomitable spirit.I don't know how many writers they had, but it's true I was surprised how they managed to make about 50 episodes with always different themes and characters (minus a few repetitions like the "aventuriers de chacharme" episodes with Lou). The film chronicles Cory's against-all-odds comeback from this life-threatening stroke with the help of his mother Tina, a physical therapist, as well as the encouragement of both his dedicated basketball coach and his girlfriend, who loves Cory just the way he is. Only quick action by his best friend "Pops" and a race to save his life in the athletic training room prevent him from dying. Cory is an upbeat, hard-working freshman getting ready to take over as point guard but, at the beginning of his sophomore year, he suffers a catastrophic stroke. Cory Weissman was a high school basketball star who scored 1,000 points and was expected to be a standout athlete at Gettysburg College.
