When it comes to Supa Strikas and its writing i feel as though we didn't gain much from the characters, and you can say

"Coral its a kid show about soccer"

And your entirely write, i understand why the probably watered it down because some kids aren't focusing on the lore just soccer, but i feel as though thats not an excuse.

Supa strikas comics which are now.. lost to the world, gave us so much in the few pages. Those couple of pages did its best to inform and even build us up on characters and how in irl some crap might work. From rivlaries, to new teams and to relationships the comics gave us.

Characters.

More so it gave us characters that we can believe aside from all the aliens and underwater soccer are real in a sense.

The show had the room to expand upon the comics. These 10 pages couldve been 20+ minutes of writing and growth of characters and even go on the path of growing the characters as children grew aswell.

But instead.

We got what we have now.

Look im guilty of enjoying the show.. for the men.. really not the soccer. But i cannot help being thrown of whenever seem to get the seem elements.

Oh no shakes is missing. For the *looks at watch* 400th time! WHAT MUST WE DO!

I dunno use a substitute?

Supa strikas is static.. as hell for me.

I don't feel like some of the characters even grow maybe.. klaus defintely klaus for me. But i don't feel like they grow or become humble in el matadors case.

How many times will de los santos have to lose for el matador to lose that stupid sense of pride and naricssim and learn if you werent such a peacock you'd actually do you job right.

I thought after "No El in Team" el matador would be more open and more developed in how he was as a character. But he didnt

In fact i believe El matador became more selfish and more disgusting as the series grew. He didnt become better he just became more self absorbed. Now when it comes to kid shows USUALLY you know you'd grow your characters and help your audience learn lessons but no! We get fart jokes, the same destructive tendencies and no proper.. end. I can say this because i wish we got some history like the comics gave.

When did north and quido rivalary?

When did ninja and el matador start theirs? Its seemed like we didn't even get a slow burn its just. OH THEY HATE EACH OTHER CAUSE RICHNESS

And and? Sorry thats shits overwhelming. We seem to just jump unto different dynamics and never seem to call back unto the again. Like are we just gonna brush off between friends? Why doesnt giri target tiger in future? Where the hell is our ep for miko, tiger and inyo?

And this is where the excuse "its a kid show!" Falls off. I was a kid who grew off of A variety of shows. Avatar The Last Airbender, Gravity falls, My little pony, and so many more shows. These shows held weight and of characters. Sometimes a minor regress but it pushed forward.

This is why im happy supa strikas might not get a season 8. They lost the plot i mean i guess there really wasnt one. But they lost it.

Season 7 was fast paced, stumbling over and her and there and stupid lil things that didnt BUILD the show. Season 7 doesnt have the traction and motivation it seems to started out as.

We desserved development snd growth. Because ive played soccer and i know what soccer kinda entails. Team work and inter personal relationships, we deserved episodes with every team mates with a new new team mates and dynamics, i believe some beef between team mates aswell because i didnt have the best teammates and i doubt supa strikas were always have the best times together. I know we see them ocassionally get annoyed but thats it.

We dont see personal lives

We barley see family

And we don't see lovers or even get true true confirmed relationships.

Supa strikas just gave us bullshit. And its sad because they couldve had so much room, build other teams and have no supa strika centric episoded. An episode with meda and santos? Or an episode with Don Aldo and Edwin growing alongside each other. There was so much room for supa strikas to be open to new concepts imo.

It didnt just have to be shakes, shakes and shakes how he breaks.

It couldve been SUPA STRIKAS building dynamics on the team and even other teams aswell. Now here we are as a small fandom having to grow this content with some of the worst lore ever in show, shitty ship dynamics (please PEOPLE STOP SHIPPING SHADOR) and WHITEWASHING. We seem to keep getting more middle fingers now theyre using AI. Theyre aware people still watch the show but refuse to even give us updates. Its annoying and it sad.

I do disagree about Klaus kinda, not because his development was bad or anything, just because Klaus almost always in his episode had the same variation of struggling with his worth or not having his worth recognised, od someone noticing and then that's the plot, the team trying to figure out what is so obviously wrong, and I love the episodes, mainly because I love mystery and detective episodes, but the fact it happens always in his episodes, ugh. Like write something else for Klaus focus more on solving mysteries and his team, not just Shakes, helping him, imagine an episode of Supa Strikas helping another team figure out a scandal before the the other team gets hurt, like Nakama playing for the Super League trophy, so we get an episode focused on them. But Klaus was kinda in the same boat as El Matador when it comes to not changing.

I agree that the show lacked certain things, but I don't fully blame it because animations that have an original source material do that A LOT, And honestly I wished we got more from the substitutes, and everyone's lives outside of the Super League, but I'm not suprised they avoided that for a lot characters and teams, because the more attached we were to the men in red, the easier it was to be curious about other teams and how they function, making it easy to watch literally 7 seasons of them.

Lowkey didn't mind the fart, stinky socks, or any of the other jokes, just because it separated a lot of tension that is very easily created in the episodes and seasons, I mean Supa Strikas are really close to dying very often, or losing a teammate, or something else happening to them. Im pretty Liquido (I hate his hair) almost killed North Shaw, when North was surfing.

Whitewashing. No before you leave! I know we've seen me get on this case constantly but i just wanna bring it up again as its overly annoying at this point.

Supa strikss is south africa. Ooooo woaaah... this means theres a diverse group of people and when you expand the league is a diverse section aswell, theres someone for everyone and a way to you find yourself in someone someway.

But its been alot lately seeing constant white washing of characters like Dooma, rasta and often shakes and skarra be whitewashed. Why? Theres literally no reason to do so and its awkward seeing characyers my skin color get whitewash and when you speak to artist theyre like "oh im just a few shades off"

Mind you a character can be a color of dark chocolate and they'd make them white as a sheep's wool isn't an excuse. Its not and i hate how somehow its normalized? Especially when it comes to the gacha section in fandom (i knoe gacha is s bit limited but thsts NOT an excuse to make a carribean character skin color that of ash. Even my Oc Emerald has been an absolute victim of whitewashing
