>>102935599Pen/many of the original staff leaving is pretty much the accepted reason. The newer hires weren't as talented, didn't respect what the show was and were not centralised enough. Even if the show had gone in a different direction the writing quality could have stayed up, but it was just way less snappy and couldn't capture the same creativity. Felt like they were trying to copy the older stuff to stretch it around their fan fiction. Which is why you get a lot of old thing is back, but now with my own sad backstory. Things got a load more standardised and jokes became lol weird thing is actually mundane.
I can't exactly explain what is wrong with the writing itself. It is like stuff was a lot more let me explain how I feel and what is happening rather than characters acting in a situation. That might be why a lot of things feel forced, they are more focused on cramming their story into a small time slot while also having to deal with nobody having creative control.
