#I won't promote my AMV with twisted lyrics here but I interpreted my feelings and Starscream's actions with that AMV and people liked it so

man I know a lot of people was disappointed with how Earthspark S2A batch ended but was I the only one who thought it'd make sense for Starscream to be Starscream, despite it all?

I adore his relationship with Hashtag but it wasnt very long, like...a day? (Though personally I headcanon there was some downtime, like, months before the shard stealing, even if S2 made it seem Immediate with that opener)

they bonded over being used by others but Starscream, in many, most, (not sure about all, haven't watched every TFormer cartoon in existence YET), is selfish and cares about mostly himself, and will do what it takes to achieve his goals.

I can see that...Earthspark's S2 decision being very confusing for someone who started it as their first TFormer show. Like I would've felt out of the loop if I didn't know the characters history from other canons.

And I do think Hashtag calling Starscream "worse than Megatron" was very bad, it should've been delivered by someone else or not said at all. And that S2 A felt rushed and stiff and "oh Chaos Terrans were born bad so they'll only be bad also Megatron former DECEPTICON LEADER is our friend he changed so it's fine" fiasco bugged me.

So, I'm not avoiding my own criticisms here.

But I do also blame Paramount for these batches being spread so...unusually which also gives further worries and anxieties in the plot. The cliffhangers and then waiting ages to see what happens next. While still in the same season. Very annoying. I feel like we need closure as Starscream fans to see how he'll do further on, whether he'll make amends or continue being nasty.

One thing I did notice about him in S2A, he was calmer (but not without getting annoyed) and, I wouldn't say totally nice but, nicer than expected to the Decepticons? I'm aware him towards Spitfire was manipulation (a classic Starscream trait), but I think what he was doing would have been the opposite of how Megatron ruled, judging by Starscream's words in S1. So, they didn't ENTIRELY /throw away his character/ in my opinion. But again, it's an issue of having to wait for Paramount's dumbass schedule to see if my opinion upholds.
