Talk:The Gift of the Maud Pie/@comment-11634302-20160314191427/@comment-26423071-20160318214221

Going to another "children's show that got immenmsely popular with adults and has Tara Strong in a voice role" for an example:

Raven.

Raven is "Maud Pie" done RIGHT. yes, she's often stoic and emotionless, but she's also able to get sad, or angry, or cheerful. She gets invested in everything that's happening, and there's even a romance of sort between her and Beast Boy.

Maud is not Raven. Maud never gets angry, or sad, or cheerful. She never shows anything other than apathy.

Raven has layers. There's more than meets the eye with her.

Maud doesn't have layers. There's nothing to her underneath. What you see is what you get.

That's why Maud doesn't work as a character.
