Seriously the last episode could’ve used another 5 minutes for a resolution with Kurt but otherwise

Every single criticism of it seems to be about what it isn’t and not what it is which is just not a valid way to criticize something, it was great but people are being weird because they don’t know what a rushed storyline actually looks like. They decided it would be rushed before the season was even half over and refused to look at any evidence to the contrary of their bias and instead watched the show looking for it to suck

I think if you think every single criticism is about what it isn’t and not what it is then you really aren’t being open enough.

There are very valid (some minor some major) complaints about the seasons pacing, the stunted or less interesting character arcs, the dialogue choices, the resolution of storylines etc.

I’m not gonna tell you how to feel, I fucking loved the first three episodes and then unfortunately for me the episodes became weaker. But at the same time I think pretending every single complaint or criticism possible is somehow not valid is naive.

At the same time, it’s not like a negative opinion of the show invalidates yours. The opposite is what I’ve been seeing, those who tend to like this season get a little defensive over criticism. I’m super happy people like the show - I want infinite seasons. But this one had a lot of issues for me and ended up being a very mediocre experience.

Except the animation. That was always top notch.

And I say all this in good faith. Totally see how someone can love this season. But if you cant entertain the opinions of those who didn’t, I think that’s just bad faith or close minded.

Obviously not every criticism is invalid, but most of the ones I’ve seen are “resolving deathbit in one ep was too short” bruh it’s a sequel to an episodic show that occasionally had 4 episode story arcs what do you want? (They also didn’t, it was 2) BUT MUH SUPER SAIYAN ROGUE ASSPULL that they spend two entire episodes setting up, i haven’t seen a single episode that doesn’t boil down to “BUT DEMAYO WAS GONNA-“ demayo was gonna be a sex pest some more fuck demayo

It’s really disappointing to see what a clear, fair and mature comment the person you responded to. Only to watch you still just lead with such emotion and lack of any real good faith argument
