Little rant about Calley(or my complaining)
When i was a child, probably around 5, i had few fav characters back then and one of them was Calley(i liked her more bz of friend too). And when i watched it all, i didn't like why creators treated so badly. With each seasons, it was less and less her appereance on the screen, in 5th season it's like- one ep about her and still, i hated this situation. Like literally, one of the important figures in Chuggington (including Vee, Morgan, Irving and etc) just useless later..??
Yk when i watched Chuggington, first things what came to my mind why they couldn't make a literal episode where Calley couldn't work(before 4th season). Like imagine: a train, who's only ONE helping in all Chuggington. And gets sick(not like Dunbar, but anyway). Or after 4th season: Jackson couldn't work and everything would revolve around Calley. It's the most obvious tropes, why creators didn't use it? I don't wanna say i hate Jackson, but i hate how Calley was betrayed like this:(
Also remember how Calley literally has insomnia (i bet it is since before patrol, Calley did work all alone+ i remember that episode from 1st season). How it's possible for her to be awake?- like-
Or another idea: Calley could disagree with Jackson at smth since she knew Chuggington more than him so they could try different works. Calley do has a voice and knowledge so i think she wouldn't be that bad and Jackson will understand it, but nah, she was betrayed AGAIN and then replaced with child😭(no hate, but why). I hate to say it, BUT if we'll remove Calley from later seasons, nothing gonna change. nothing.
And actually I don really like her design after 4th season like yeah, she and others working in patrol, it's for kids and etc, but even if i watched later seasons as i child, i wouldn't recognize who is them. Children do need colorful designs, but not copypaste, chuggers and others had unique designs without repeating?- it is suitable for Wilson, but others-- nah:(
It's more like joking statement, but it's like creators(i forgot name company sowwwy) really despise women. Like, alongside of children nor grandma(Olwin), only Vee, Calley, Tyne, (and probably Payce? Sorry if wrong, I'm not English+ her possible age is unknown) r adults. I don't count people in this show. I just feel like if Calley was a man(in og), they wouldn't treat her like this, buuut it's not a panacea bz i really liked Payce and Asher, but they didn't get attention after episodes which revolve around them:( (i didn't even understand their characters tho i liked them).
I do know she's a side character, i do, not everyone suppose to have a lot of screentime ik, but it's low-key ironic how Harrison had more time(i don't hate him, i even liked him after 2nd season) than literal train who's very important for city..or was, at least.
Yes, I'm complaining bz i do have a space for Calley. I'll be loyal to character who i knew since a kid instead of man who apperead out of nowhere and suddenly became a boss and took all screentime(not saying Jackson is bad character, i just have reasons to dislike him. But liking him is fine, he's just not in my taste.)And then she was replaced with a child...i- i have no words, really.(Why?)Like is patrol was fine with it? Did they literally just took her to- OH I DON'T EVEN WANNA IMAGINE IT.
Don't cancel me pls, I'm not forcing my opinion!! Have a good day/night!<3
