>>109465305Those fuckers had zero idea what they were even doing.
Half the episodes of the last season barely made any sense, or only had any point if viewed from a meta-perspective while being incomprehensible by themselves. Which is a massive failure of writing.
The lack of a limited cast with strong connections or defined character traits makes the point of many actions obscure or renders them seemingly arbitrary.
And the introduction of too many metaphors or lessons hidden behind puns into surrounding zany nonsense proves the writers were too far up their own asses to even notice when they lost the plot.
The lack of which has been a defining failure of the show from the beginning.
I mean, all of these things become that much more obvious when you see what Rebecca Sugar did when dropping out for SU.
