User blog:Nikolai the Second/Poll: Should Neo return?

Should Neo return? Yes No Unsure

Backround As you know, Neo was only created because Monty didn't want to animate Torchwick getting onto a helicopter. Regardless, she is pretty cool and Yang vs Neo and Ruby vs Neo + Torchwick are in the top 5 fights.

Shoehorned? Convoluted?
However, there is an argument to be made that Neo's return will only shoehorn a character into future plots that have nothing to do with her. And her return will be convoluted. Neo was never planned this far into the future. If one believes that the writers are good enough to re-introduce Neo without damaging the plot then one is a little optomistic.

It comes down to a simple choice. If one believes that the plot is unredeemable and one only watches for the fights then one should want Neo's return. But if one thinks the plot can be saved then one has to concede that Neo will undermine it and draw attention away from plot progression.
