They finally really did it. You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
It’s the weakest season yet, not only it averages on very autistic characters making obviously very bad decisions, but also contains two of the worst episodes of the show, which are also ones of the worst in the whole medium. One is not just painfully bad, but propagates sleep-rape; the other is very obvious and boring, while saying that being a dishonest jerk is somehow a good thing. And every time the rest of the season has some good ideas or has Maud or Starlight in it, it manages to completely screw up endings, or tone, or the moral of the story.
And yet it has a better ending, where, finally, friendship is magic, and isn’t is beating the crap out of your enemies with rainbow coloured death rays. In some sense even yet another setup was better. It wasn’t as obvious as magic keys (for the most part) and yet it all came together in the end without being obnoxious. Though, if you hide your good parts in piles of garbage, even when you dig it out and assemble it back, it still reeks of decomposing waste. The last episode turned out to be quite good, despite the ex machina with the elements, but the first part of it had to be insufferably bad for it, with obviously extremely dumb decisions. And DOF is still a crap for fags.
Between it and the very bad movie, i wonder where it’s heading next. And, as always, you can say “well at least it’s not Adventure Time“.
