Amphibia's Needed 4 seasons

When looking over Amphibia as a whole, it's easy to blame Disney for screwing over the show's quality in the third season, after getting pissed over true colors.

And there certainly is a lot to blame them for, as there is no doubt that they were responsible for the creators not being able to commit to exploring all the ideas they set up in the second season finale, and the tonal shift it promised.

However, there is also one other, massive problem with Amphibia that is not actually Disney's fault, instead being a result of how Amphibia was planned out from the start.

Namely that from day one(Literally, it was pitched this way) Amphibia was planned to be a 3 season long show.

In hindsight, this was actually terrible idea, as the overall structure of the series can tell you.

Season 1 had a very clear progression, with Anne and Sasha being stuck in the Valley and having to deal with it, befriending new people and making mistakes and growing from them.

Season 2 began in the aftermath of the Season 1 finale, and had the cast go on a journey, which ultimately led to the 3 girls being reunited, their various goals colliding, and the machinations of our villains coming to fruition, and everything all exploding in a glorious finale.

Both these seasons are clear stories, with a beginning and an end, and the steps in between given a full seasons worth of episodes to explore them in full.

But then we get into season 3.

Season 3 is 2 completely different stories, with each half having their own distinct beginning and ending, with their respective plots being very different from the other.

The first half deals with Anne and the Plantars on Earth, while the second half is all about the cast on Amphibia.

And the thing is, both of these two halfs beginnings and endings work. They're not perfect, but fundamentally this is how the story should be told.

The problem comes in between the biginnings and the endings of these respective stories.

Because neither half had even close to enough episodes to make their respective tales work out, even if Disney hadn't meddled all throughout season 3.

Season 3A is a slow affair, that takes it's time, and isn't close to covering Anne's emotional journey by the time it ends, something it wouldn't have been able to do in full, even if disney hadn't censored the creators plans.

Frankly speaking, season 3A plays like the creators didn't quite realize they only had so many episodes to tell their story with, and so took their time with stuff that by any metric should have been cut in favor of other stuff given their episode limitations.

And you can tell that it was only in the second half that they had suddenly realised, holy shit! We have SO MUCH we gotta do!

Commander Anne is rushed beyond belief, speed running Anne and Sasha's reunion, and only held together by the sheer strength of the bond between these two girls in spite of the sheer amount of stuff that has to be done in that entire episode really should have had 2-4 episodes all on their own.

But they couldnt do that. Because they only had half a season to tell the story of the return to Amphibia.

The rest of 3B is nowhere near as rushed as Commander Anne, but it is rushed, and it speeds along way too fast towards its finale, when the show desperately needed some time to breathe and relax. It even ended up cutting one fully planned and important episode(Sasha's origin story) along the way to the finale.

While Disney screwed over Amphibia, Amphibia NEEDED to split season 3 into two full seasons for the show to truly hit it's full potential.

And that was a mistake on the part of it's creator, who clearly made a huge blunder when planning this story out. Amphibia ISN'T a three part story. It's a 4 part story, where part 3 and 4 got smushed together to the detriment of the product.

god lmao its almost not even subtle at this point how BADLY this show is dancing around marcy like. from EVERYTHING. that fight in sasha's angels between sasha and anne just HIT SO HARD because surface level it's about what's going on right then and there but the bigger picture. man i wonder who else got left behind as a prisoner that sasha has to justify not running off to save? it's in the way parisia the guardian olm had a necklace with what sure looked like the core's eye on it, and the way i think we all know marcy could've guessed that password. the constant backstabbing and the constant possession callbacks... matt wasn't kidding calling marcy the heart of the show at this point because she is EVERYWHERE except in the main text, you can FEEL her presence, and it just keeps getting stronger and stronger as time passes.

Ube featured in Amphibia

The delectable dessert flavouring has made a 2nd appearance in a cartoon. For those of you who are wondering, ube first appeared in a Steven Universe episode, The Good Lars, where Lars finds his passion for baking. He made an ube roll which Steven and Sadie liked very much.

The second segment of the 14th episode of season 3, The Core and The King, featured Marcy's (currently Darcy) favourite dessert, red velvet cupcakes with ube frosting. While it's confirmed that Marcy is of Taiwanese descent, her favourite treat that has ube could be a hint that she is part Filipino as well. Though it makes me wonder how ube is available in Amphibia when it's currently under invasion by King Andrias and The Core.

Either way, hooray for Filipino representation thru food! 😋🇵🇭
