im kind of surprised by the amount of people going "well the retcons were good" on my post after i just like offhandedly mentioned oh well im not a huge fan of this plot element in an example because tbh i think the retcons are kind of awful writing in general. they took away narrative stakes for almost everything, i no longer felt interested in the characters moving forward bc we no longer knew these new guys, and the payoff for it being solely Vriska Is Back Alive Now Except With No Character Growth just feels really... not worth it in terms of writing?

and even outside of general plot elements, the writing quality post retcons is just not good. like have you sat down and read every dialoguelogue and narration text after game over? like there's some gems in there (everyone loves the dirk & dave convo for a reason), but the vast majority of it sucks in a really bland way. characters don't emote like they used to. there's less comedic timing in general. does anyone else remember the scene where jade reveals davesprite and john blew up? like they just fucking blow up? its got no build up and it just Happens. Does anyone else remember this. What the hell happened to the double nannasprites. I'm not a retcons hater because I hate retcons or hate vriska or whatever I'm a retcons hater because its just a clear downgrade in comic quality and made the story worse overall
