Alex vs. Alex: redemption for killing Stevie?


People are still upset that Alex, Justin and Max (mainly Alex) "murdered" Stevie and the hillbilly wizards. If Alex defeats her evil half, do you suppose this will resurrect Stevie from the dead and release the hillbillies from Wizard Limbo?

(And undo countless other mayhems she caused over the years that we don't know about?)

Will this be Todd J. Greenwald's "redemption" for allowing those story lines in the first place?

Yeah, I know filankey is not a word, but it's gonna catch on.

No I am not. I think he took it much too seriously, and I reminded him that WOWP is a kiddie show and it was cartoon violence. That's why I put "murdered" in quotation marks in my post above.

He tends to overthink and pontificate.

Speaking of pontificating, look, if the guy wanted to talk "murder," what about Max in the "Movies" episode? Justin turned Max into a sandwich, which he then took apart and put back together. Where did Max go before Alex restored him? I figured that Stevie's consciousness/essence floated off somewhere or changed state when Alex froze her body, and that she was (is) far from dead.

So you are saying that Casper the Friendly Ghost never died, just because he became a ghost and had an afterlife?

So you are saying that Hamlet's father the king was never murdered,merely because his spirit had an afterlife? If So, why did his spirit tell Hamlet he had been murdered and urge Hamlet to avenge that murder? If having an afterlife negates dying (or being killed) and makes it as if the person had never died, why did the ghost of Hamlet's father, aware that he was in an afterlife, insist that he had died and had been murdered?

Are you saying that Darth Vader did not kill Obi-wan Kenobi, merely because Kenobi had an afterlife as a force ghost?

SPOILER ALERT!

Are you claiming that Grima Wormtongue did not murder Saruman in the novel Return of the King, merely because Saruman's spirit survived the death of his body? Do you suppose that Smeagol did not murder Deagol, merely because hobbits probably have some type of afterlife similar to that of men?

And examples from the Silmarillion:

Are you saying the Eol the dark elf did not murder his wife by not telling anyone that he had wounded her with a poisoned weapon, merely because the spirits of all slain elves go to the Halls of Mandos and are eventually given new bodies? Do you suppose that Eol was not executed by being thrown off the walls of Gondolin, merely because the spirits of all slain elves go to the Halls of Mandos and are eventually given new bodies?

On March 6, 2020 the Disney channel might have finally aired an episode in a children's series as dark and sinister as "The Good, the Bad, and the Alex".

In the Gabby Duran and the Unsittables episode"Tayloring Swift", March 6 2020, Principal Swift is captured by aliens who plan to skin him while he is in his natural Gor-Monite form, since Gor-Monite skin is valuable.

So the villains in that episode plan to skin an intelligent being, a person, for profit.

That seems like a very dark plot element for a comedy series for children, and possibly matches "The Good, the bad, and the Alex" on May 7, 2010, 9 years, 9 months, and 28 days earlier.
