The hype and buildup absolutely did not work to its favor, and ended up working against it. And it was as far removed from what the series once was as you could get. Fan Disservice is what it was from start to finish, and one of the worst instances of it in recent memory. They didn't do justice to any character and so much was just regrettable and loathsome. They really misread the fandom bigtime if they didn't outright ignore the fandom. And on that count, most of us still love these characters and even with the negative feelings this crap has stirred up in us for a lot of them, we still don't want to see them go out on such a screwed up and downer note, and as with any series we ALL deserve to see these characters do well, we deserve the ability to actually enjoy them, something this season completely denied to almost everybody.

Yeah, most of us are. But this season still has people complaining over how horrendous it was, still calling it out for the writing disaster it was, regardless of the time passed. Definitely a telltale sign that change is urgently needed.

The final three again feels like an outright assault on everything that made the show good, and that's where I really feel the insult was intentional. Anyone who honestly believed those three episodes were acceptable to put out has a hell of a lot of explaining to do as to what possessed them to think that. Yeah, you pretty much summed up the crimes of each of those episodes and why exactly they should've been done away with, they're HATEFUL. It's so obvious that nobody proofread, tested, or edited this, and that nobody unbiased was at the helm if even a hint of editing was done at any point. This is why editors are a necessary addition to the team. Unbiased people who actually know how to read their audience.

I'm glad to hear that, I heard that too. It being a cartoon is not an excuse for lack of effort or outright insult, you cannot get people invested in something they've cherished for so long and then pass off an obviously poorly-received product like this as okay just because "it's a cartoon". That's not how it works and I guess from those newer statements, maybe at least some of them realize that. But a full apology is still needed and owed.

Yeah, they relied far too much on these two to be their success story, and completely undid themselves in nearly everything they did along the way.

Well those calculations could not have been more off, it's obvious just how much they forgot the basics of how to make a show as they put this together. Every fundamental mistake, it's here.

Well naturally I don't expect that kind of impact. But they ought to know the truth of the disaster they have on their hands. The more widespread the knowledge is, the more they'll all realize how critical it is not to repeat this.

Yes, and I want to know why in Hell they thought the idea was good or made any sense. Because it doesn't. It was just too random to be taken seriously.
