the writers r cowards and don't wanna kill characters they're attached to. they're weak, bro. if an old character has to die, then just get rid of them. they made tons of younger cats and they have no personality because the older cats stick around and take spotlight all the time. there's like a couple of new cats that get spotlight (like the protags), but everyone else is doomed to being nothing.

They probably forgot how old Graystripe is lmao. Nah. They reference his age in his book, like how he sees Frostfur in her granddaughter. He's definitely a favorite That said, I think keeping him around for this plot makes a bit of sense. His age and experience mean he's been able to be a really good character to stabilize things in ThunderClan. I hope he dies soon (so he can be with all his loved ones) but I'm glad he's kind of getting a good send off

honestly, in retrospect, i wish more of the older generation went out with Firestar in TLH. it would have made the final battle a little more epic.

Considering Graystripe is the only og TC apprentice alive still, I don't think that's really favoritism. Firestar, Sandstorm, Dustpelt, and even Ravenpaw have all died already; either to age, wounds, or battle. I think at least one of them deserves to retire in the clans. I'm surprised people don't talk about cats like Cloudtail, Brightheart or Thornclaw more, they should have been in the elders den by now.

Cloudtail and Brightheart have been elders for awhile now, unless you mean they should've retired sooner.

I meant they should have retired sooner, it still baffled me that they still got another litter out back in OotS when Jayfeather already had noted that they were so old. Squirrelflight's generation and back need to honestly retire or kick the bucket.

Graystripe, Brightheart and Cloudtail still having around makes a little bit of sense, because they have personality and there is a reason for the authors to be attached to them. But why is Brackenfur still alive? And why isn't Thornclaw in the elders den? Cinderpelt, Brightheart, Thornclaw and Brackenfur were all from the same litter. Cinderpelt is dead, Brackenfur and Brightheart in the elders den, so why isn't Thornclaw there?

Graystripe clearly still had something to fulfil in Graystripe’s Vow. Now that his time in the spotlight is over, I expect him to pass away either in Book 6 of The Broken Code, or in A Starless Clan. It seems pretty obvious also that Mistystar’s going to go in A Starless Clan, so I don’t have a problem with that. And Thornclaw - though I do not approve of his thing with Blossomfall - still provides prominent opinions. I want him in the elders’ den, but his firm belief about the whole Firekin deal still remains interesting in Darkness Within. He also was always a commanding and yet loyal warrior, so I’m not surprised that he’s stubbornly remaining out of the elders’ den. Maybe we need a Thornclaw novella? So, I don’t really have a problem with them, but I feel like it’s time for some fresh new cats (And no, not Rootspring and Bristlefrost. They’re getting boring. Shadowsight’s a little repetitive with his story, but still interesting.) to hop in and have some fresh ideas. I’m excited for A Starless Clan, and currently waiting in ultimate anticipation to see how The Broken Code is wrapped up.
