Community’s Rachel is the hidden gem we all overlooked.

Even though Community ended eight years ago, die-hard fans are still discussing the beloved sitcom even today, especially given that the Community movie is in the works.

Community fandom on Reddit has recently reminisced about the show’s season 4. Surprisingly, it turns out that there's a whole lot of love for Brie Larson's character, Rachel.

Brie Larson has sparked quite a bit of controversy with various comments throughout her career. People have criticized her for her remarks, sometimes unfairly. It really feels like a breath of fresh air to see someone finally appreciating Brie.

She was really great as Rachel, a student at Greendale Community College, who's had a few jobs around campus, from managing the yogurt machine in the cafeteria (until an elderly student broke it), to working as a coat check girl at school events. But what really stands out about Rachel is her unique connection with Abed.

One of the standout moments of season 4 has to be Rachel's introduction and her budding romance with Abed. It's not every day you see a character like Abed in a relationship, and their dynamic was genuinely heartwarming. Many fans felt that their relationship was original and wished it had been explored even more, especially after Troy's departure.

Abed's chemistry with other characters has always been the highlight of the show. Some fans even pointed out that he might've had more romantic partners than any other character, including Jeff. But there was something special about his connection with Rachel. It felt genuine, and many hoped to see more of them together.

Of course, not everyone felt the same way. Some believed that while Rachel was a great addition, she didn't get enough screen time to truly shine. Others thought that her moments with Abed weren't as memorable compared to other iconic scenes from the show. But that's the beauty of a fandom — everyone's got their take.

With talks of a Community movie, many fans are crossing their fingers, hoping to see Rachel make a return. Imagine her showing up all buffed up from her Captain Marvel training, and Abed's reaction? Jokes aside, it would be great to see Brie Larson in this role again.
