And their return was on-par with some of the more bad story choices in TDAS & TDPI (especially since it led to the abrupt stop of Nomma/Nemma's plot which was clearly set up to have a proper conclusion in the finale)

Too bad a good portion of the characters that I liked in RR were all eliminated by not even the halfway mark...

Yes there was effort, but most of it clearly went to the actual animation process with none of it going to the writing. When something as blatantly noticeable as Emma being more inconsistent personality wise in one season than Gwen & Courtney have been in all their post-TDI seasons is allowed to make it to the final product, "effort" and "writing" are not two words I'd put in the same sentence when describing RR. This thing was supposedly in production since at least late 2013, and by the time it aired nearly two years later the best they could do was have it be only slightly better than TDPI.

And again, it pretty much worked in their favor only because there was a TDAS to proceed it which on paper can make anything that comes after it look better in comparison.
