GREG: space stone, power stone, mind stone. STEVE: soul stone, reality stone and time stone.
Popularity contest as portrayed in many times in the media, no it usually doesn't happen. Like maybe there's that one kid everyone hates but there are no cliques or popular kids that are mean. Also the part where he says there are super tall kids who shave. Idk how that would be scary. Only like 3 kids in 8th grade are 5'8. So no gorillas. And who doesn't shave. And bullies, there are'nt much, and they usully go for more personal attacks and not just beating uo random kids. Also bullies don't beat up anybody. Why would there be an ABCDF grading system, bc that doesn't exist. There were no assigned seats, however where you sat was your unassigned assigned seat, so even if you can sit anywhere it would be disrespectful to sit where someone else usually sits. And honestly i don't think teachers would allow some kid to sit on the floor for lunch next to trash cans or a bathroom. I've waited 3 years to make my observations.

Greg with Chakra vs Boruto without Chakra but with tools and weapons. Who will win?
I’m basing this mainly off the first six books in the series, since that’s as far as I read in the series, and I never saw the films.
Overall, I’ve seen many analyses of the series over the years that try to paint Greg as a narcissist/sociopath, when in reality, he’s the most normal one in the series.
He tries to be there for his family, despite the way they treat him. His mom is controlling and gets too involved in his life. She also tries so hard to encourage “family togetherness” that she doesn’t realize how dysfunctional her family is, and why Greg doesn’t go out of his way to spend his free time with Rodrick or Manny.
His dad is an immature jerk that can’t accept his kids having different interests than him, and can’t accept any opinion besides his own. He cares more about what others think of him than his own family.
Rodrick is a slacker and bully that gets away with whatever he wants because his parents largely leave him to his own devices (probably because he’s a teen and knows how to drive). Manny takes advantage of everyone he comes in contact with due to parental favoritism and lack of discipline. Even in the sixth book when Manny cuts off power to the whole house except his room, he never faces consequences.
Greg tolerates all of them, despite how he’s routinely treated badly, and takes it all in stride for the sake of the family staying together. I’d say putting his family members before himself is a pretty big sign of maturity.
The only character there might be a valid argument for him mistreating is Rowley, and that’s largely because:
a) He’s in middle school and is not old enough to understand the consequences of his actions yet.
b) Rowley doesn’t have common sense yet due to overprotective parents that smother him. Someone their age in real life with normal parents could probably see through Greg.
c) it’s probably at least partly Greg projecting his feelings towards his family onto other people.
Thoughts?

Im sure most people have heard of the musical turned movie Dear Evan Hansen. The movie itself suffers from all sorts of issues that many movie musical adaptations suffer from, as well as the widely talked about casting issues. However, the story of Dear Evan Hansen itself is also an issue. Dear Evan Hansen is the story of a high school boy who manipulates the family of a classmate (Connor) who recently commited suicide, for his personal gain. He lies about being friends the the student in order to gain notoriety, popularity, acheive affection from the boys family and in order to begin a relationship with the boy's sister. This is a truly ghoulish series of actions. Within the plot of the movie, the viewer is supposed to sympathize with Evan due to his own struggles with mental health. However, any sane audience member is also aware that individuals with Generalized Anziety Disorder dont generally engage in macheivellan ploys like this. So, in order to fix this, what we need is a protagonist who is the following: likeable yet coniving, capable of manipulation but suffers from delusions of grandeur and general idiocy, and is often able to mask social niceties but is deep down a sociopath.
Well you know who that sounds like to me? Greg Heffley.
In the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, Greg Heffley is a menace. His disregard for those that care about him, his rampant narcissism, and his pathological lying get him into varieties of trouble. What if we used this same kind of comedy, but made it just a little bit darker?
So we change the framing device of the letters. In the original, Evan is writing letters to himself as a part of his therapy after himself attempting suicide. Lets change this around a bit to match Wimpy Kid. I truly do not think that this story will work if youre trying to sympathize with the main character. Let him be delightfully awful to watch, a true dark comedy, until he gets his comeuppance. So Greg didnt attempt suicide, but is still in therapy to try to ammend the behavior he exhibited in middle school (as seen in the book series). Now in High School, his therapist has asked that he start addressing his journals to himself, not to a vague audience. And so Greg has been writing in a new journal where he starts his entries with Dear Greg Heffley. The inciting incident of DEH can happen relatively similarly: A troubled teen has a run in with Greg, somehow accidentally aquires the journal, commits suicide, and then the journal is discovered in
