Fun fact:When I first heard of this show I misheard it as “The Ghost of Molly McGee” and thought our main protagonist was dead

I think my biggest problem with Ollie is him being exactly like Molly. I know they're kids and romance at the age is still kind of shallow, but I really hate when shows portray the idea that two people who are nearly identical are perfect for each other.

I wouldnt say i like the second season as well as the first, but comparing it to Fairly Oddparents Season 10? Thats like comparing a plain sandwich to rotten meat.

I do kinda like the way Scratch and Ollie kinda oppose each other in how they’re introduced, like scratch was introduced as an opposite to Molly, but they slowly realized they had stuff in common which brings them together, where Ollie seems like basically the exact same person as Molly, but are slowly revealed to be different in ways that keep them apart

There's nothing wrong with having romance in the series. We just need more to do with the characters. Maybe add some much needed villains.

Andrea is not self-centered she is vain. BIG difference. Being vain is thinking you are amazing. Being selfish is doing what ever you feel like doing and not caring how it affects others. That doesn't sound like Andrea.

"Ollie is boring." I don't mind him. His relationship with Molly and his redemption arc is cute. Also, not every character needs to be deep. You can mix deep characters with simple ones. For example, I love Pigpen from Peanuts. He is one of my favorite fictional characters in anything ever and his gimmick is simple.

You gotta understand The Ghost and Molly McGee is a slice of show that's why every episode is a stand alone story with only a few having an impact on the whole story

Danny Phantom: Oh for the love of -DANNY PHANTOM IS A SUPER HERO CARTOON, while TGAMM is a slice of life with horror elements, they're not the same type of show.

My biggest problem with season 2 is the lack of the chairman. He brought a sense of dread and intimidation in the first season and that’s just gone now. There’s no actually intimidating villain in the show anymore and we still have so many unanswered questions about him. Why didn’t he talk? How did he get in control over the ghost world? How exactly did Molly kill him? He was a ghost. Did he die again? As it is now, the chairman was just a waste of a villain. He barely even did anything before Molly killed him. Jinx is still around and I know the show is going to do something with her eventually. She apparently loved the chairman but we have no idea why. Also, slightly off topic but I’m so confused why everyone is acting like scratch killed the chairman. He didn’t. Molly did. Scratch was just kind of their

While Ollie is far from my favorite character, his relationship with Molly is genuinely adorable. They have a lot of chemistry, they bounce off each other perfectly, and Ollie's arc, going from a ghost hating ghost hunter, to realizing they aren't as bad as he previously thought is really well executed. Plus, as much as I love both Libby and Andrea as characters, I never felt like shipping them with Molly was anything more than just fan speculation. They never really had anything that would hint at a romantic connection, and making them a couple would feel forced. Like, Anne I could totally believe starting a relationship with either Sasha or Marcy. But the relationship that Molly has with both Libby and Andrea feel way too platonic to develop into something more. I'm all for LGBTQ ships, but do it in a way where it feels natural, not just to make it happen.

Try not to compare shows to The Owl House challenge: IMPOSSIBLE!!!

“Ruined” is a strong word. A more accurate term would be “altered” but that’s stretching it. The show introduces ghost hunters, kinda expected with a show about a girl and her ghost friend. The protagonist has a crush on one of the ghost hunters. Having a crush doesn’t always translate to romance, even then, Molly’s main concern about Oliver (a ghost hunter) is how he’ll react to Scratch. Molly’s relationship with Oliver presents a dilemma, just not a romantically charged one. And since we’re talking about Oliver’s presence in the show: season 2 has about 14 episodes, Oliver is in episodes 1 , 2, 5, 7, 8 and 13. If you factor in that the episodes are split into two 11 minute episodes, there’s about 26 episodes in season 2. That means Ollie is in 6 out of the 26 episodes of this season. So the show doesn’t even focus that much on him. And when it does, it’s less about Molly’s “romantic feelings” for Ollie, and more about her keeping Scratch safe from Ollie or random shenanigans like “engoodifying” the world. I’m probably off with the calculations of those episodes (so please correct me if I’m wrong), but I’m sure about Ollie’s inclusion to the story being relatively minor.

Okay about the "Viewed as the same person" thing... that's a full on LIE, by the bulk of ghost society Scratch is practically worshipped outside of a few outliers. In one episode he even brings up how important being liked is to him, to the point where it was at the expense of his friends who liked him BEFORE he was cool. I'm sorry but with that line and the...FORTY THREE minute run time, you come off as Mr. Enter but with a good editor.

This review has everything but why complain about not focusing on being serialized when that was NEVER the show's goal? bring The Owl House for no reason despite Molly and TOH being different shows on storytelling and bring FOP S10 for no goddamn reason

I like Mollie and Ollie. I don't think romance ruined it. It has some great episodes like the one with Libby and her dad, and the ones about Molly and her Thai heritage

Season 2 of The Ghost and Molly McGee been GREAT! Been loving this season, especially with how things are going, Scratch now the new Chairman and have to deal with things in the Ghost World along with with dealing with Jixn who serve as a side villain to Scratch, McGee new neighbor are ghost hunters with Molly having a cute crush on the neighbor boy, who is actually a good addition to the cast really enjoy Ollie character and that they didn't keep Scrath a secret from him a whole season, we are getting way more of Libby and Andrea this season and they are both receiving lot of Character Development, specially Andrea and Libby also got her period and we learn more her family and her dad most of this season been great.

Dude my biggest problem is that they no longer have a main antagonist. The Chairman was a looming threat throughout the first season but there isn't anything like that in season 2.

I don't view the season in this way at all, really. While you're right about the show moving in a new direction, it's not entirely romantic-centric. This is really only 3 full episodes out of the total 11 that have already aired. However, I do see what you mean in terms of a lack of continuity between the 1st and 2nd seasons, and how that's a problem.

Eh, I disagree with a lot of the arguments here. Especially comparing this season to season 10 of The Fairly Odd Parents... Hell nah. Sorry, but you're tripping on that one. This season Is not that bad even if I agreed with all the points you made. I'm not gonna go into all the details because I would have to write an entire essay here, but I do want to say a few things. Regarding the point you made about Ollie never really explaining why he hates ghosts, he literally clarified to Molly that he himself didn't really have a reason to hate ghosts other than what his dad has told him his whole life. He explained in the third episode that the ghosts hadn't done anything to him, but that they attacked his dad when he was a child. Now you could think that this is a weak reason to hate ghosts the way he does but you need to put yourself in his shoes. His whole life he has been taught by his parents, more specifically his dad, that ghosts are the worst of creatures, they're dangerous and they only exist to hurt humans. So I feel like it's wrong for you to say that they never touch on the reasonings behind Ollie being a ghost hater because is not really true. Clearly, Ollie has been indoctrinated by his dad to hate ghosts. Most humans in the show don't even know if ghosts really exist let alone if they're good or bad so I don't find it unthinkable that Ollie would grow to despise ghosts when throughout his life he's been told that they're bad. They touch on this again in the "frightmares" episode when Ollie and Molly are having a fight over whether ghosts are good or bad, he tells her that "I've been told my whole life that ghosts are bad, it has to be true" or something along those lines. Also, his seeing his dad constantly mocked by the public might have influenced his hate towards ghosts and his wanting to be right, him wanting his dad to be right and prove the unbelievers wrong. Is also one of the reasons he seemed to like Molly, because he saw her as someone that "understood" him. The other point that Ollie lacks character and doesn't serve any purpose other than being Molly's love interest can be debated. Even though I agree that they could've made Ollie's character a little bit more interesting or complex, I disagree that he doesn't serve any real purpose or hasn't had any development. He definitely had development, and you can call it rushed but there's just so much they can add within the time frame of the episodes. I think you and other people are forgetting that this isn't a plot-driven show. The fact that we have these little plots on the side and characters actually getting development is just extra. The creators confirmed this themselves, they clarified that season 2 feeling like it follows more of a plot rather than complete randomness is just coincidental and extra. I think it's completely fair for fans to expect a bit more plot and development-wise, but you also need to understand the situation the writers are in. They don't even know if they're getting a third season, which is why one of the creators stated that they concluded the season at the end to the point where it should still feel satisfying. They do not have other options other than rushing through the little plots they have in their episodic show. I do believe that if they knew they had more seasons at hand, they could've developed more of the plots like Ollie's arc but I think his character has been fine with the current circumstances. I feel like the whole point of Molly's and Ollie's relationship is that they weren't as similar as they thought they were and I think they touch on that more as the series progresses. Is the opposite of Lumity, where they go from enemies to lovers. I also disagree with you using Lumity as the ideal way to write a relationship since I found it bland for the most part and also extremely rushed but that's a whole other conversation. I disagree with the claim that Molly and Ollie are exact copycats of each other. I really do not get why people keep repeating that. Just because they both want to improve society around them doesn't mean they're the exact same person. If anything, the latest episodes have proved that Molly and Ollie are different in multiple aspects. For example, Ollie is nowhere near as confident as Molly is, in fact, he doubts himself all the time something Molly never does. It's Molly always the one putting confidence in Ollie. This fits the whole "we weren't as similar as we thought we were" trope which in my opinion is what they've been going for. I don't really get why you said that the whole of season 1 was them building up the ghost world and the final clash with the chairman. In a way, yes, it was, but it's not like every episode was plot development toward the ghost world and the chairman. If anything, it was the same as season 2, Molly and Scratch in the human world with the ghost world on the side. Scratch not taking his job seriously makes sense and he has made it clear that he has no intention of taking it seriously unless the circumstances demand him to. This matches his character perfectly as not only he dislikes responsibility, he enjoys spending more time in the human world, with Molly than in the ghost world. Some ghosts do respect him as the chairman and we saw that in some of the episodes like Geoff's party one, and others don't, such as Jinx, which also makes sense. It's true that Scratch being powerless against some of the ghosts might not make much sense such as when he "fought" Blair, but you need to also remember that Scratch usually avoids taking drastic measures against other ghosts. What was he going to do against, let's say, Blair? Vanish her to another realm for eternity? He didn't even want to hurt the frightmares but they left him no choice, remember? What makes you think he's going to resort to drastic measures against ghosts capable of reasoning when he didn't with the ones that weren't capable. About your criticism of "I wanna dance with some Ollie", I feel like you missed the entire point of the episode. The writers made it clear that both Molly and Scratch were in the wrong here, but more Molly. "Molly was being selfish in this episode, to the point of putting Scratch in danger" Well yes I thought it was pretty clear that this was wrong on Molly's part. The show wasn't glorying the way Molly was acting in the episode with scratch. She realizes that she was in the wrong and "dumps" Ollie. Is not like she never comes to her senses. Scratch could've been a little bit more understanding of the situation as well. Anyways, this season hasn't been perfect by any means but I just don't think some of the criticism here is completely fair. I hope this comes out the way it was intended. It's just me disagreeing with some of your points. I would write more and go into more details but this is already getting too long.

Talk about completely missing Character arcs. And wanting to prioritize lore over Character exploration 😂

The second season so far is okay in my opinion. Casually it's still fun and watchable and I like the improvements in some of the characters and elements in the show, but it does feel weaker right now than the first season.

comparing it to fairy oddparents season 10 is wildd

Molly S2 has been good. The romance hasn't even been focused on since 5B. Molly and Ollie have been casual friends atm and there are still great episodes like the most recent one with Jinx, the thai one, period piece, and the indoor family vacation. Yes the romance is basic so far but don't act like it's ruining the show because it's clearly not. Also this season is Citizen Kane compared to Fairly Odd Parents S10 that's not an appropriate comparison.

"ruined" the hell is this guy talking about? s1 was great and s2 is goated so far

I usually agree with you opinions but this one I can’t. The ghost world does show to respect scratch like in the afterlife of a party or Jinx! more but the ghost council and jinx still hates him. The chairman role was useful against the frightmares and lord doom and wasn’t useful against others since scratch didn’t use the whole curse aspect against the story sprite nor Blair. The show was never story driven and had an overarching threat but most episodes focused in molly making Brighton happier. The whole thing about why molly or doesn’t say about the fact that ghosts used to live to cause misery but changed is that ghosts still do love to scare and cause problems like in frightmares on main street they made a whole game on scaring people. Ollie seems like a rehash of molly but we see more of him in let’s play turnip ball with how he gets confused by the extreme stuff of Brighton and in Brighton video we see him be more awkward and struggle to fit in with the group. Also in the 11 episodes or 20 if you count each half separately we see Ollie 6 times when we have seen Libby 8, Darryl 9, Pete 8, and Sharon 7 times as a important character to an episode.

I thought of a great way to make Ollie's character actually great. Have a later episode of the season reveal Ruben doesn't want to fight ghosts for nobel reasons, he wants to eradicate them to make himself a hero. But in order to do so, he tricked Esther into believing in ghosts too and then marry him to start a ghost hunting team. And 13 years later, a viral video about a certain rich influencer befriending a new student catches his attention. (Especially with her floating around and spinning in the air) the new student becomes a renouned do-gooder, thus leading to Ruben engeneer his own son to act exactly like that so he can catfish her in order to see if she's actually involved with ghosts, but as time goes on, he acts more and more different from her and even changing his point of view on the afterlife, which leads to his dad to take more extreme measures, even going to Bizmart to team up against both Molly and Andrea's families. (Plus, this would give room for Jinx to have a redemption arc) Ollie feels even more awful that his father tortured him into becoming a little monster (yeah this is taking from Rocket Raccoon) so his arc is to find his own self and become a crusial part of the ghostfriends and even have great interactions with both Scratch and Libby.

Ollie can still be a ghost hunter. Instead of hunting ghosts he'll promise to only hunt bad ones. There can still be a clash of ideals between him and molly. Along the lines of "not all ghosts are bad, but not all ghosts are good". The romance between them is also kinda rushed tbh.

I dont even like Ollie (dudes just ok), but my guy you are acting like he is worse than modern Patrick Star.

Worst video from you since your The Owl House pilot review. Also it's been stated already but comparing this to FOP Season 10 is an apples to broccoli comparison.

I don't mind this new direction and I think romance seems to always get a bad reputation.

If I had a nickle after every time alpha jay show was wrong about romance, it'd make two, wich isn't a lot, but still pretty weird that it has happened even this mutch! Anyone else agrees?

5:41 I just realized that Libby has the same voice actor as Lisa from the loud house (Lara Jill Miller)

The thing I liked about the first season of molly McGee was how it was like a sitcom (but animated) and since it was animated, it was more palatable. Don’t get me wrong, there are ups and downs of season one, but the good segments or episodes stick out like a sore thumb

I disagree. Well for the most part anyway. Ollie IS rlly similar to Molly. But he got more character later in episodes. Also their relationship moving quickly makes sense. They are so similar and it seems like they were made for eachother, so the relationship moving forward quickly isn’t that weird. And a thing I rlly like is that they didn’t get together. And after Ollie found out abt ghosts him and Molly went back to being friends, they would talk with eachother more comfortably which is great because it means if they do get in a relationship, it’s going to be more healthy. There were some flaws with Ollie’s character but he is a different person from Molly. And we see the differences in “the unhaunting of Brighton video” after that episode he was Mollys genuine friend, not just a character to be her love interest. I rlly liked this season, they explored new ideas and I don’t think it did badly like ur suggesting.

I don't even mind Ollie tbh, at least now that it seems they're doing more with him than making him a love interest in the second half. It's not bad imo, but I feel like a lot of the more recent plots feel rather underdeveloped due to the 11 minute time frame. (The period episode was particularly disappointing imo- it felt like the episode just wanted to have an episode to talk about periods, but nothing would change in the plot if "period" was replaced with the more general "puberty." I also felt pretty weird about how the first thing the show told us about June was that she's autistic, and then proceeded to show us nothing about it. Something something show, don't tell.) I still like the show, and I wanna see where it goes. But it's a downgrade from S1 so far.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN RUINED!? I love the new plot so far. Also there was hint of a new antagonist stepping in. If anything the stakes have been upped.

I feel like that there is a build up in season 2 with Jinx trying to overthrow Scratch's position as the Chairman because throughout season 2, Jinx tries to make Scratch's afterlife miserable. In "The (After)life of the party", Jinx "helps" Scratch hide from Geoff while it was obvious she wants him to get caught. And in the recent episode titled "Jinx!", Jinx jinxes Scratch until he and Molly tricked her into freeing him from it and it's revealed she wants to become the Chairwoman. And there is a future episode titled "Jinx Vs the Human World".

Alpha Jay: The Mcgees and the Chens are too similar. Me: Thats the joke.

If I'm being honest, I like that Scratch's new role as Chairman isn't an automatic win button. Now, you did miss some advantages Scratch now has - such as the rest of Ghost Society no longer seeing him as a loser (as seen at the start of AfterLife of the Party where they let him cut in line at the coffee shop) or Scratch being able to perform more powerful curses, leading to Lord Doom and the Frightmares being trapped in things. But given that the Story Sprite and Blair mostly stayed in the human realm, it makes sense that they wouldn't respect a figure of authority from the ghost realm. And again, I like that Scratch and Molly have to actually come up with solutions instead of Scratch just fixing everything by going into Chairman mode. It goes better with the themes of the show (communication, friendship, etc) than fighting or any sort of Ghost World lore ever would.

I dont think the show is ruined I think season 2 is coming out good and also the new songs are really good

Ngl havent seen this show much really but when I saw art of Molly and Ollie I thought Ollie was her brother lmao.

5:21 I disagree. It doesn't pick and choose. Now that the original chairman is gone it is treated like a boring desk job. 6:34 false equivalency. Danny Phantom is a fighting show while Molly McGee isn't. Also Danny can go in the portal at any time because it is in his basement. In Molly Mcgee only ghosts can enter the ghost world. 20:10 Of come on everyone loves a good Chuckie parody.

As much sense as you make, I still have a lot of hope for season two. I honestly believe that most of not all of the problems can be fixed with just a few episodes. An Ollie-centric episode is necessary for sure, maybe where he confronts his guilt about going against family values while interacting with them, Scratch, and other characters as well. And DEFINITELY- DEFINITELY!!! A flashback episode. This would help explain why Ollie and his family feels the way he does about ghosts. (Also side note Molly would benefit from a flashback episode as well. It could be anywhere from a lighthearted scene about the moment she realized she was meant to enhappify, to a full episode that has a more deep and meaningful message addressing her impulsive, perfectionistic and people pleasing tendencies) And THEN maybe during Scratch’s flashback segment he can really get a reason WHY he should be the chairman, because until now the council basically forced him into it. Omg I would totally love it if he could just STAND UP FOR HIMSELF TO THE COUNCIL because he deserves it and it would improve their dynamic A LOT if the council were a little less snobby and a little more open. Anyway that’s my huge rant lmaooooooo

Season 2 of molly mcgee has been a step up from the 1st tbh. The songs are better. The jokes hit harder and yea I did like the romance between molly and Ollie and how it morally tested molly. Yea I do wish they'd do more with scratch being the chairman but we'll see how the rest of the season goes

I do wanna say one thing the romantic angle was a 5 episode arc at the start of the season.

I love how he says romance ruined molly mcgee for click bait and then just talks about how season 2 was a let down all around so he could have just said it was disappointing

Well i understand your point, i have to disagree. Well yes Ollie was designed to be Molly's love interest, I thought it was fine. It reminds me of Big City Greens, they just had fun with each episode and occasionally gave characters growth. While the idea of a darker season sounds cool, i think that trend has ran it's course and this was a breath of fresh air. Not every show needs a huge plot of saving the word from an unknown villain or being. I think you're a bit harsh because this show doesn't seem like your cup of tea maybe

THE NEW EPISODES WERE FIREEEE

I especially judge romance as someone who is aromantic. I feel like the romance tie isn't that bad but it's overly focused on. I personally excepted a smaller fight/face off with Jinx, or someone trying to take over Scratch's position and turning back the old system, as we can see, he isn't the best leader (I believe he wasn't meant to be one). It could have made us have a conflict which could have been resolved, causing problems, etc. My other thought was going to be Scratch having an actual injury from the Chens/or Oliver. I personally still really like the show, and perhaps they are building up for something bigger for the season finale

I actually think that they're cute together Edit: the title is really misleading Edit: the video is really boring, I usually like long videos(I watched a 10 hour long video about the economy in Harry Potter, and I don't even like HP) but I can't finish this video

i think the apperances of stuff that happens growing up is honestly amazing for teens , the apperance of periods was honestly kinda great as shows for teens have been avoiding this topic , normalising it is great bc then teen girls wouldnt feel as if theyre different and weird and that its a normal thing

I haven't seen this show but I saw Total Drama, Trent and Gwen relationship gets so much worse in Total Drama Action. The worst romantic subplot in Total Drama is Cody and Sierra. Sierra deserves a restraining order and jail time for her disgusting stalking. The best romantic subplot in Total Drama is Mike and Zoey for passing the low bar of not being toxic and not breaking up.

Never seen someone overthink a Disney cartoon like this, it’s an episodic slice of life show, it’s good enough.

THIS SHOW WAS NEVER ABOUT THE LORE, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LORE IN AN EPISODE ABOUT SCRATCH'S FEARS OF REMEMBERING HIS PAST?

I respectfully disagree with you, first I will say that I can see your coming from, your certainly not wrong about Ollie lacking character & having no unique dynamics yet (at least compared to Libby & Andrea). I can understand the comparison between Trent & Ollie (although I need to rewatch Trent, but from what I remember, Trent only had one trait, he was the nice guy), I do think it is a bit unfair to compare Ollie to Amity, as I would consider both Owl House & TGAMM both to be totally different shows despite been both airing on the Disney Channel. Personally thou, I'm really enjoying Season 2, although I will admit, I don't really care for the ghost world as much as I probably should. I will say that I do think Scratch is supposed to shown to be incompetent if anything, the worst episode for me (and there's only one) so far is Let's Play Turnipball, with my favourite episode been Like Father, Like Libby. I will say that interestingly enough that the romance themed episodes of Season 2 is amongst my favourites too. Also, the songs from this Season have been pretty good too, not sure what your thoughts on them are. Also, I wish you luck in the comment section

This aint it chief, you aint gotta take this cartoon that serious

I think Scratch should have been (reluctantly) trying to do good as the chairman and maybe have had a similar style of overarching plot which had ghosts rebelling in the human world as that would’ve given reason to an episode’s plot and wouldn’t have destroyed the previous season’s ending

"I will tell you what the season COULD have been". Okay I said...I was done...but...Rao...DAMMIT-THE SEASON ISN'T OVER YET! You're complaining about how a story should've gone when its only HALF way over, UGH, bad review, bad.

Romance ruins a lot of shows especially when all the writers wanna focus on with the couples is relationship drama and i just get so tired of it

Bro admitted he has Molly McGee fans hidden in his house. 💀

Molly having to choose between Ollie or Scratch doesn't "weaken" her character; if anything it gives her a genuine internal conflict, and allows her to make "bad" decisions. I'm getting sick of shows being too afraid to give their characters enough agency to do bad things or be at fault. It's a big problem I have with the Owl House, since you bring Amity and Luz up as the better couple; Amity is only a bad person at the start because of what someone else told her to do (her mother), not because of something she fully chose to do herself. Luz has this massive conflict about helping the bad guy, acting as if she's solely the guilty one, but he tricked her; it wasn't as strong for me cuz it wasn't a direct result of her will. Molly choosing Ollie over Scratch could result in Scratch being seriously hurt. Is it selfish? Yes. Is it way more interesting because she makes that active choice herself? Hell yeah. It's more powerful too when she realises the error of her ways, because they're hers, no some third party manipulating her. I can understand if this season is not your cup of tea, but I think you're stretching the definition of ruined. Personally I think this season is pretty good so far. Ollie is pretty bland, I agree with you there, but we have such a good cast of other side characters that I don't mind him just being there to further Molly's character as a bit of a tool lol. Also, Lord Doom felt more like a homage to Lord Hater, rather than borrowing or stealing from Wander Over Yonder (RIP).

calling ollie boring is like saying you think molly is boring. hes very similar to her personality wise so whatever you can like about molly, you can like about ollie too. also the interactions they have are really sweet, they connect very organically with shared desires and interests. what is wrong with this? olie doesnt need to be a foil to be interesting

One of the ideas I had with "The Ghost and Molly McGee" for season 2 is that despite Scratch did not want to be the next Chairman, he does it anyway and that each time he uses the Chairman robe/cloak, he gets under influence of having that power, exactly how the old Chairman was, how they were silent and meant business and it slowly corrupts Scratch by each time he puts it on. It would eventually cause a problem that Scratch then tries to avoid it as much as possible but is always beckoned due to the rampage of ghosts, and have the other ghost look up to him as he does his job. It's just an idea I had while watching the show.

3:14 You know, when think about it, Molly Mcgee & Chole Carmichael are basically the same character of; goodie Two-Shoes girl wanting to spread love & cheer throughout the world to the point being crazy & obsessive with it even when it leads to their own suffering. The only difference is that one of them was in Fairly OddParents Season 10 & basically doomed from their conception of that fact alone.

Ruined? The Romance is fine, literally, the only people who have a problem with it are the people who ship Molly with Andrea or Libby. Literally, nobody else has any problems with the romance idk what you're on about?

No offence but you absolutely missed the point of the show. It’s like you did not really watch it or don’t like character growth. But to each their own I guess.

Romance being added to tv shows that weren't originally about it can be a disaster most of the time, but outstanding when it's handled well.

I dont like mollyxandrea cause its never gonna work i dont like the ship at alll so please stop redoing lumity in another show

Star vs the forces of evil: First time?

i think this season is still pretty good, not as much as the first season but still not bad. what the season really needs is a story buildup for something bigger

I actually gotta watch the show before I judge it, lol. I was barely aware this show existed.

While I don't like the Mollie ship and am disappointed that it's canon now even though I knew it was coming from a mile away, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it ruined the entire show because it didn't. The Chens are interesting antagonists and Ollie and June are sweet and cool characters. I especially enjoy Molly and Ollie's friendship dynamic even if I don't ship it romantically.

43 minutes of a guy wining about a character just for existing and comparing it to owl house with is a show that was really ruined by romance,. that is pretty sad

how to at least KINDA fix ollie’s motivations: maybe a ghost killed someone he was close to or liked a lot (but if that’s too dark for a kids show, maybe the ghost could have ruined that person’s life, or even ruined OLLIE’s life in somewhat)? that could make his bias against ghosts more clear, and make a lot more sense on why he’s so diligent in his hating of ghosts. and he could kind of be stuck between wanting to get revenge against ghosts for what happened, or want to let it go for the sake of not only molly but his own personal growth + letting go of the past. and that would be a lot more interesting to watch.

You should still keep watching molly mcgee all the way through because Ollie can still be developed don't let this change you opinion of the show pleaaaaassseee.

The show feels like Master Shake's purgatory.

its a slice of life dude

What a bs. Romance didn't ruin Molly McGee at all. It was a very small part of the second season

15:23 The problem I have with this ep is that Darryl KNOWS his actions cause trouble for people, he knows what will happen as a result, yet he does it anyway to satisfy his own amusement. Granted he’s 11 so I get that he wouldn’t realise the full weight of this like an adult would but he nonetheless knows what he does is wrong. A better way to handle this than just saying ‘Accept me even though I’m gonna continue to cause trouble for all of you’ would be finding an outlet for Darryl that curbed his need to get reactions out of people, like how Sharon said he had artistic talent - that would’ve been a great way for them to bond over something they both were good at & liked to do. Or have Darryl join a tech club or something since he was shown to be good at that as well. Being yourself shouldn’t come at the expense of other people. We’re all flawed & shenanigans of any kind will come as a result of that but there’s a difference between accidental chaos & the kind you knowingly create.

What if the love between Ollie and Molly was a first love dynamic where they thought they were perfect for each other but to similar to each other they break up in a later season (giving ollie sometime to explore himself or after The Chens see brighton has no need for them they move to the next hunted location to hunter evil ghost qnd help good ones after learning that there are good ones and Ollie and Molly trys a long distance relationship but it doesn't work out)?

Idk man I've really been enjoying season 2 i think its great plus there have been plenty of shows with a worst season then this

“I’ll show you what the series could’ve been” *insert Reese’s ad*

idk i dont like olliver's design he looks like they are siblings and it feels weird

The arguement about Scratch being the chairman and only dealing with problems no one wants to deal with is fair, but I think you're forgetting the fact that this is a slice of life show, the story isn't gonna go through the same route that a lot of recent Disney shows went, and it seems you're setting expectations for the show that weren't intended in the first place Also about the Molly and Ollie story, the "very romantic" stuff only lasted about 3 episodes to then take a more platonic route (also while they still show that they have feelings for eachother, it's a lot more subtle), and I feel like the intention for the story was that Molly would rush to explore these new feelings she was having to only then take a step back and see if the realationship really is right for her, and since the dance, Molly tries to get to know Ollie a lot more which in turn let's us see the differences between them, and as a result, we learn that Ollie is quite awkward, clumsy, and doubtful but still incredibly sweet and caring towards Molly, even if it's sometimes a bit extreme (like how Ollie is determined to save/protect Molly as shown in "Frightmares on Main Street"), also I feel like comparing them to Luz and Amity is incredibly unfair considering how much more superior their develpment was in comparison to Mollie, but that's my take If you don't like the season that's fine, but don't talk about it like it's the worst thing to ever exist

The Ghost & Molly McGee is a show that I can't really get into myself, but I hear a lot of people give it a lot of praise like it's the best thing to come out of the decade. And considering it's one of the rare episodic cartoons with a little bit of lore released in the past couple of years after getting a lot of story-driven shows (like Steven Universe and The Owl House) as well as bad episodic cartoons (like Teen Titans Go! and The Loud House), this show can look better. To be honest, I'm more of a Cartoon Network fan than a Disney Channel fan, but since they're barely doing anything nowadays it's kind of hard to transition to being a Disney Channel fan. I understand why people moved from Nickelodeon to Cartoon Network around 2010 for shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show, but I'm sad to see what the network had become in recent years. I've seen about half of Amphibia and all of The Owl House and they're pretty decent given my opinions on them, and Big City Greens (at least the first two seasons) is probably the best out of the currently airing Disney Channel cartoons, but there's something about Molly McGee that I cannot say the same about. Maybe because Disney already had multiple shows with a peppy female lead and this one's no exception, as well as a lot of them telling a fish out of water story (Mainly due to Gravity Falls, which is one of their best shows IMO), or that it has a lot of singing. Also I think this show's more suitable to a child growing up in the post-pandemic days rather than someone like me who's a grown adult born post-911, because I'm not really a fan of stuff like Fortnite and TikTok, so seeing stuff like that being referenced in a show like this doesn't really sit well either. What I liked about most Cartoon Network shows (and maybe even some Nicktoons) ranging from the mid 90s to around the mid/late 2010s (not counting any of the reboots) was that they could appeal to both kids and adults and that they could be enjoying the show for either the same or different reasons, compared to nowadays where most non-adult cartoons are targeted to just kids, and not the whole family. The best example is Regular Show, which is a show that kids could enjoy for journeys and characters, while adults watch it for the jokes. Even something like The Amazing World of Gumball, which isn't really too trendy (due to not premiering an episode since 2019), can be more enjoyable due to it having more attitude as well as having a good meta sense of humor. I also really liked OK KO, which was a love letter to CN's legacy, but was unfortunately cut short and even removed from MAX, but I think it could only work as a Cartoon Network show, and not on any other networks. Shows like Molly McGee are the reason why I don't want to check out stuff like DC Superhero Girls, Hamster & Gretel, Kiff, and even Pokémon Horizons, but at least they're not Thundercats Roar. Also, I don't like how a lot of cartoons these days are IP-based (with a lot being reboots/revivals/spinoffs) because they can be pretty tiring (especially the Animaniacs reboot, which tries to embrace they everything getting a reboot nowadays). I'm not trying to be a nostalgiatard, I'm just trying to trying to say the truth. If you enjoy Molly McGee yourself, I won't judge you for it, because opinions are subjective.

“Tied me to my past” that sounds so familiar 😭

I remember when Ollie was leaked, I hated him off the bat. Because Ollie felt like a straight up genderbent and I thought he was going to be from en episode where Molly gets sent to a genderbent world…

Alpha Jay think you can talk about the new Disney show, Hailey's On It? You'll love it

I am SO GLAD you talked about this because I tried, I really did, but I couldn't get through the Oliver episodes without skipping through like..80% of them. There's not a chance I could go back and really figure out what happened so this recap is EVERYTHING

Now that you mention it Oliver is underdeveloped the only people he interacts with are Molly and Scratch and in my opinion, he suffers from the same problem Millie does from helluva boss

The Chairman thing actually kind of makes sense, given that rigid hierarchies that are intended to remain in place long-term can have its own long-term impacts not only on how a society functions, but how the people in that society perceive the functioning of said society. It's likely that simply not having a chairman at all is seen as something scary to ghosts, but having someone be the chairman provides them with reassurance that society is still functioning, and that the way society sees the ghost in that position is a completely separate thing altogether. The previous chairman was a ruthless authoritarian whom the other ghosts were afraid of, because he could and absolutely would brutally punish those who defied his word. Scratch, meanwhile, is not taken seriously at all, because he's laid-back, lazy, and just doesn't have it in him to rule with an iron fist. Think of it like the US government - the vast majority of people in public offices are deeply and consistently unpopular, and most US citizens regularly and loudly display their disrespect toward those who hold public offices (and rightly so, because the people who hold those offices are nothing but pawns of the bourgeoisie). That said, try to imagine how the US populace would react if all government officials suddenly disappeared. I'm not saying that society can't function without authoritarian rulers occupying positions of authority in an arbitrary hierarchy (I am an ancom, after all), but people would have to be prepared to live in a society that is organized to function without those rulers. If a society built around a given social structure were to be suddenly deprived of that structure, people would go completely batshit.

You're just mad that the show is episodic and not story driven when it’s always been episodic.

Eesh. Be prepared for the incoming passionate as hell TGAMM fans who might take this the wrong way. They are a small yet loud bunch haha.

It would've been if all if not most of the ghosts that were freed were being hunted down by a group of loyal soldiers or ghosts who strongly respected the old chairman.

Looking back at this video is more annoying now that the show ended (prematurely, it was supposed to have a third season, but the final episode is overall as the third season's final episode was intended to be) and had what is IMO the best ending/last episode for a show I've seen, considering the tone was very unexpected though one theory being confirmed was expected for me. Season 2 was better IMO than you gave it credit for (the end was absolutely fantastic), and personally, I feel your arguments were very stupid since it was such a small part of season 2.

I feel like Darrel would and probably has invested in Bitcoin or nfts lol

Why are you still watching?

So... Basically the episode "Faint of art" is like saying, hey I know you're gonna die, but at least you'll get flowers! And yes that is a reference to Fish In A Tree, a really good book!

as a non-US person What hurts me most about season 2 is that they changed the actor playing Scrach his actor from the first season was wonderful and the new one doesn't do it justice
