I'll give you this much TheEpicDestroyer: Heroes vs. Villains, Evil Dread, and Suckers Punched were not terrible episodes. In fact, Suckers Punched is my favorite episode in the lot. But that effort fell apart completely as the season dragged on and even the first seven episodes are plagued with problems that only became more apparent once the merge episodes came up, and nearly all the payoff was done away with by the end with some of the worst episodes in the series and a dreadful finale. The first seven episodes (Minus a few) are perhaps not as bad as episodes 8 to 13, but looking back I can see that a lot of problems persisted and took root in those first seven and were amplified by the season's remainder. I'm still stunned at how quickly it fell apart once the merge kicked in.
