>>112243661OP here. Just finished 12 Forever.
I'll start off with some pros. Butt Witch was definitely the highlight IMO. She's fucking hot, and every scene with her is really good. Honestly they should've made a few more episodes centered around her (even if Reggie had to be in it). Esther and Todd were likable characters, Esther more than Todd but I digress.
The main problem of the show is with Reggie. I get that the point of the show is to depict a child who doesn't want to grow up and cherish their youth, but JFC she's obnoxious. I was pretty spergish when I just entered middle school and I did pretty dumb shit, but Reggie is just gross, obsessive and selfish. She does too much stupid shit and doesn't get punched for it. And even when she "learned" her lesson on the finale, it felt empty- as if there wasn't really anything to learn. Esther and Todd were completely justified in leaving Reggie to her own world, and the fight with BW should've only strengthened those feelings. You can't just ignore big arguments like that, and it definitely seemed out of character for Todd to just forgive her like nothing happened, especially when he snapped at her multiple times and repeatedly told her that nothing in Endless matters in the real world. It would've been really interesting if the finale was Todd not wanting anything to do with Reggie. It could've built for a great external conflict between Reggie and Todd, as well as an internal conflict between Reggie and her own view of herself.
Overall, I'd say a 4/10. Reggie didn't get punished nearly enough for the BS she's done, and the only time she did she was instantly forgiven. Had Todd said, "I think it's time we move on" to Reggie after beating BW, it would've left us with an interesting foresight to a new season and Reggie trying to keep her childhood friends/make new ones as well as reassess her attitude and behavior. But alas, Vickerman decided she wanted to forgive Reggie at the end, and then got her show canned.
