User blog:AndrewBrauer/Alternate Scene

Hey dudes Drew here, this is just a little something I thought of for the scene in Garage Banned, while I really don't like that scene, it is a scene that honestly could've worked if it was better written or if it used different characters. So I thought of an alternate scene for the one in Garage Banned that only makes a few minor changes, but still keeps with what the purpose of the scene was intended for.

(Back in the house in the living room, Luna is strumming her guitar and Lynn is tossing a soccer ball in the air)

Luan: Dang it, Lynn! You kicked your soccer ball at Mr. Coconuts' head! (shows her dummy's disfigured head)

Lynn: Can't prove it!

Luan: Luna, you're the older sister here tell her she has to pay to get him fixed!

Luna: Um...okay. Lynn, I think Luan has a point. You should pay up.

Lynn: (shaking her fist threateningly) You wanna think again, sis?

Luna: Yes, I do dude. Luan, I think you should accept that balls are important to Lynn.

Luan: (as the facially disfigured Mr. Coconuts) I wouldn't be too hasty, Slick! My cousin's a baseball bat!

Luna: (dismayed) I wish Lori was here. She always has the right solution.

And now I can imagine all of you commenting at me for making Lynn into a mean bully and making Luna an angel, but let me explain how this scene would fit better. However, even if this was the scene they used instead it wouldn't change my opinion of Garage Banned all that much. The episode would still be a 5/10 as I found it suffering from the 3 B's (Boring Humor, Bland Story, and Basic Execution) along with having a recyclable plot from an episode that wasn't even good to begin with. (A Tale of Two Tables) Plus it doesn't help that other Lori centered episodes like Party Down and A Fair to Remember were much better by comparision, as they had funnier jokes and more interesting stories to tell. The only difference now is that there wouldn't be the original scene that stands out like a sore thumb, but still I don't consider Garage Banned all that interesting of an episode. I'll give my full thoughts on the episode at the end of season 2.
 * 1) Lynn is more known for using threats of violence as an answer to most of her problems, she'll even go as far as to mess with someone's head to win a game like she did in Lynn-er Takes All. Not to mention, she's the one sister who's most known for starting fights or getting into them, like she did earlier in the episode with Lucy.
 * 2) Luna isn't known for using threats or bullying others to get what she wants, it hasn't really been seen in the series, as she's one of the most relaxed and carefree sisters among the family which is why I consider this out of character for her. If anything for this scene, she would've fit better in the role of Lincoln while Lynn would be in Luna's role from the original scene. If they did that, the scene wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb and it would've been fit a lot better with the episode.
 * 3) Lincoln in the original scene could've been replaced with anyone, and in all honesty an older sister would fit the role better especially if the fight is between two older sisters, I don't really see how Luna and Luan's younger brother would be the best person to solve this.
 * 4) To quote muppet, "DUMMIES DO NOT WARP!!!"

So there you go, I'm now done talking about Garage Banned I've gotten it all off my chest and now I can fully move on.
