It appears as though the Meggy link doesn't work, so I will just copy-paste what I said here:

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share what I believe would be the best course of action SMG4 should take regarding Meggy in order to prevent the fanbase from tearing itself apart. Ever since she was promoted to "Main Character" status, half of the viewers absolutely love her and want to see a lot more of her, and the other half view her as a waste of space that deserves to be killed off. The most common reasons for people to love her are that she is a cute, quirky "straight man" to everyone else's antics, as well as being good at fighting. On the flipside, her detractors say that she doesn't mesh well with everyone else, the role of "straight man" being already taken by SMG4 himself, and making her so good at fighting makes her a Mary Sue.

What I believe SMG4 should do to please as many people as possible is simply to give Meggy her own seperate show, and put it on a completely different channel detatched from his Mario channel entirely. This would please her fans who want to see more of her, and it would also please the detractors who want nothing to do with her, because they don't even have to think about her anymore if they don't want to. Meggy's show would still share a universe with Mario's show, (just like Guards N' Retards) but outside of a few references and cameos, (like something akin to Chris and Swagmaster69696969's cameo in The XMAS Discovery) the two shows would never interact. If it turns out that Meggy's show is complete and utter trash, then at least it's trash that's isolated from the Meme channel we all know and love.

I am not personally that great of a writer, and SMG4 is free to do with the hypothetical Splatoon themed channel as he pleases, but if I were in his shoes, then I would make the channel a more serious, story driven animation channel compared to the Mario themed Meme driven animation channel. This would prove that he is not only good at making people laugh, but also making people care about the situations and story implemented into the episodes. The plot could go on as long as needed due to being on the web and not having to worry about things such as seasons. With that being said, I have no idea what the plot would actually be, but it needs to be something that develops Meggy to the point where she is no longer considered to be a Mary Sue.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I see lots of potential in a serious splatoon story channel if as was updated as much as his memetic mario mayhem channel. Feel free to tell me your thoughts/criticisms/opinions on this idea.
