Meanwhile, Vriska created a plan to defeat Lord English. Eventually, the new kids, old kids, and surviving trolls were reunited. Also John got magic retcon powers that let him change anything he wanted without creating a doomed timeline.
Then a bunch of shit went wrong and like everyone except Dirk, Roxy, and John died.
This, of course, failed to add any tension to anything, since death meant nothing in Homestuck, and also because even if it did John had Deus Ex Machina powers (see: Vriska, who is dead, leading the fight against Lord English).
But anyways Dirk an heroed and John used his retcon powers to... tell Terezi not to date Karkat or Dave and prevent her from killing Vriska. That's it. He never uses them again. Not only did Hussie give John ridiculous DEM abilities, he couldn't even be assed to have him use them to their potential.
Anyways this magically solves all of everyone's problems somehow. Vriska's transformation into an unironic Mary Sue is completed. She comes up with a plan to defeat the villains, which is explained to the reader in excruciating detail. Then everything goes just according to keikaku, because Vriska "Author's Pet" Serket came up with it. There is no twist or subversion.
Then we got an actual professional-quality animation that looked really pretty but failed to resolve any of the many major hanging threads - or any of the minor ones, for that matter.
Then "THANKS FOR PLAYING".
