: Now that there is once again peace on Oceangirl thanks to Neri, what would another season be about? How many times can she realistically be tangled up in some kind of"save the world,save charlie" Plot.The writers of Oceangirl have not given Neri much of a personality so she's only interesting to watch when she's stoping the badguys. When everything's okay and all the badguys have been taken care of, then what? Does Neri have a sense of humor, can she makes us laugh, does she enjoy creating art pics, does she enjoy dancing or singing, does she enjoy solving the mysteries of the universe, or even be the slightest bit sensual at times? No. In the department of personality,sadly, the writers have not given Neri much of one. Therefore sense there are no more badguys for her to deal with there's no more show. It takes more to being a star than just fighting for right. You have to have a talent or personality that makes you fun to watch not only during "wartime" but peace time as well. Is more oceangirl possible? Sure, you bet! Is it realistic that Neri keep fighting bad guys for all eternity? Not really. Well then Neri's going to have to be given a talent and more of a personality if she is to survive into the future, and not just wind up another canceled show.
I think you are right, Neri is a bit boring. But she _is_ the hero, they tend to be a bit flat. Bad guys like Hellegren usually have more personnality. But maybe they could for example make a spin-off about Mera, she has more personality than Neri I think. She could be interesting. What about a prequel to OG where you follow Jane Seaforth and her trouble in our world before she meets Neri? Just a thought.
