AoT's finale was comically grim, edgy, but ultimately appropriate given the how dark and hopeless the overall series was. I was honestly expecting an Evangelion style 'everyone dies' ending, but it settled on only a partial genocide.
StarVs, given the goofy tone of the series, had the most out of place, rushed, and weirdly dark ending of them all. None of the drama felt earned, and the solution was at best a slap-dash asspull, at worst a transparent 'fuck it' from the writing staff. Not even bringing up the implications of the ending (magic genocide, destruction of all those dimensions that rely on portals, etc) the whole 'yeah, destroy magic whatevs' and the Merge was handled with absolutely no gravitas. Compare to how Star telling her wand to kill itself in season 1 was handled to Star destroying literally all magic and smashing two dimensions together in season 4. The justification for it was also bullshit, like, transparently the writers went and said 'No, no, this is the only solution to an ambiguous, complicated problem, trust me'
