Yeah, having watched FOP S10 (bless my soul ik) the worst episodes of Molly McGee compared to the best of late stage FOP is still like comparing Spiderverse to The Emoji Movie. Molly McGee still has likable characters and fun plots- I even like Ollie, since even though he was brought on purely to be a Rule 63 Molly and a love interest, I like that they're giving him a character arc about unlearning his prejudice while living in a prejudiced family. I do understand the point about how he has no real dynamic with anyone that isn't Molly (and possibly Scratch). The later seasons of FOP /badly/ flanderized all the characters we loved (if they weren't outright forgotten), kept adding in new characters that nobody cared about, and constantly broke the most basic rules of its universe, most egregiously that adults aren't supposed to know that fairies exist. Not to mention every new character after Foop was just awful... and even Foop was pushing it.

People, understandably, aren't fans of those characters. And no one is asking for ANY of that when they say a character is boring. No, boring implies a character is not fun to watch. There isn't much fun or humorously inviting about Ollie, he's a played straight generic boy.

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.

“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.

The Chens were suppopsed to be the new main antagonists but they're pathethic antagonists. Only Ollie did his part. The other ones showed up, blasted Geoff and Jeff, and then got fucked just to be saved by Scratch. Ruben, Esther and June have 0 weight so far.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

@@CatKun1234 I think the main problem is that Ollie is too similar to Mollie. The reason why the other characters work so well with Molly is because of how distinct they are from her. Ollie would work if he were to have a more distinct and unique name, design and personally.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

As it stands though, right now the line with June just felt like a cheap way of scoring brownie points. I'm not trying to say autistic characters need a "reason" to exist or anything like that, but just that they shouldn't have specifically included that in her character introduction if they weren't gonna commit to writing a character with autism.

End it off with a moral about how just because you can't relate to someone's issues doesn't make them any less significant to them. A Period Piece, as it is, isn't really about menstruation. It's an episode about growing up that just uses "period" as a placeholder for "puberty", and it plays everything completely straight outside of that one edit. Even the B plot about Pete going overboard with buying pads could've easily been replaced with Pete going overboard buying deodorant, or acne washes, or something.

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

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

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

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

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.

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).

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?

Yeah, even some people who ship Andrea x Molly, Libby x Molly, or Andrea x Libby x Molly (including me) don’t mind Ollie and even ship Ollie x Molly. I question what Alpha Jay says here cause it feels like he didn’t watch season 2.

Is it because it is not gay?

fucking what? why do you people say you hate gay stuff, but always bring it up in inappropriate situations?

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

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.

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

Like everyone else I usually agree with you opinions and thoughts but this one really just feels like you got bothered by a tweet two years ago and have been waiting for any small slip to come at them. They only said they weren't going to do the dark themes like others yet you keep pointing out how they're doing other tropes... Yeah cause they only said they weren't doing the dark one also you say Ollie has no character and then immediately follow it up with a n episode where he had character but didn't like it cause you wanted to see molly libby and scratch this season seems fine so far.

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.

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

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.

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 disagree. You are just impatient. I bet they are cooking up something.

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.

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

Finally someone has been saying the obvious, and it's pretty surprising people have been okay with this decade long groupthink that "everything needs to be story driven" Shows Gravity Falls, Owl House, Amphibia and Steven Universe would all land in the top 10 cartoons since 2010 and rightfully so but I just can't help but feel they're all wildly overrated when those 4 have distorted how people believe how cartoons should be in a bad way

I'm curious on what your thoughts are now that the show ended. Do you think they could've had a season 3 or do you think it should've ended.

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

Hey @TheAlphaJayShow when saying romance ruined molly mcgee, are you talking about the character of molly or the show?

With all due respect, they share interests, enjoy each others' company, and writers can utilise their relationship in the story. So the romance is ok for this cartoon connoisseur! Your thoughts?

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

When I first saw lord doom in the promos I thought he was the chairman resurrected

If you think about it TGaMM’S purpose isn’t supposed to be solely based off romance. But bringing new ideas into the show is also not a bad thing considering what we’ve seen as of season 1. S1 was more episodic and “we’re going on adventures” kinda thing still great though, moving on season 2 is leagues better than season one. It’s a lot more packed than season one with the story and everything plus I don’t think introducing Ollie was a bad idea at all, throughout s2 Ollie is gradually getting character development and opening up one step at a time. Also progressively throughout s2 they lower the romance factor.
