Let's face it, a troubled preteen (@Noothgrush, fair enough idea) who has special eyes and who's catchphrase is 'GO TO SLEEP' is cliched enough. Is it really a good idea to mold him into something more, for lack of a better term, badass in a creepy way? Plus, civilian names like 'Jeff' the killer seem too OC wannabe-artist: it's like slapping my name onto a knife-wielding character and calling him 'William the Killer'.

Maybe I'm blowing this all out of proportion, but you find me a writer who is willing to make Jeffy into something actually scary (and not to mention put up with enraged fangirls), and then I can say I support this idea. It's really just polishing a turd to make it sparkle. I thought of it more as 'what if we made [Insert kid show] for ADULTS?'

It's like we're taking something (no offense to the original)  an   amateur writer made and making it an ace-in-the-hole, for the sake of consistency. I'd say it's appeasement, but that may be taking it too far. I see... well no matter what happens it's going to piss people off. I'd rather us try to deal with Jeff fans instead of us trying to make a literary masterpeice and getting people angry at us. And people think Cleric is the kind of COOL DUDE who cares who he pisses off by being awesome? Pfft and pishaw. "Deal with it." -ClericofMadness
