I acknowledge that the season was cut almost in half so I should really cut them some slack but I WON'T, SO:

Plot holes/Forgotten Stuff in TUA:

(some of these are mostly just unanswered questions)

-Sloane?? Where tf did she go?

-Why was Jennifer (in the original timeline) in a cage? In Moldova?? Like, was she discovered to have something ( the dimaldo stuff whatever) inside of her, so they wanted to test on her? if she never came into contact with marigold before ben then why would they? WHAT

-also wait how the fuck did she get that stuff in her anyway? How did the dimaldo get to earth after it caused the end of Reginald's home planet? Like,,,shouldnt we know that?

-Her,,,in a squid??? she was Inside a giant squid? W h a t

-the S3 post credits of ben in the train. sure, whatever, that means nothing LMAOO

-I also can't get over - Five explaining "oh yeah when we do this EVERY ALTERNATE TIMELINE is gonna be destroyed, leaving only what should've been - the original," and lila fighitng to put her family in the train station,,,All the other timelines will be destroyed??They're dying and being reborn/reincarnated in the new one anyway GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOING

(unless ive highly misunderstood that which is likely)

-this isnt a plot hole just - five "trying desperately over and over again to save his unhelpful family who he loves very very much" being literally turned into,,,that. did someone say character assassination?

-lila and five. thats a plot hole in and of itself I DONT CARE if he's aged 12 years from season 3, (6 yr timeskip at beginning of season, then 6 technically 7 in teh train), I DONT CARE IF HES 25 NOW, I DONT CARE IF HES MENTALLY 60 SOMETHING. Lila met and spent time with him when he looked like THIS

THATS A CHILD. and clearly, the family had SOME contact in the 6 yr skip, so she WATCHED HIM GROW UP from 13 - 19, like thats just so WEIRD WHAT

this was supposed to be plot holes and just turned into me being pissed im sorry but HOW DO YOU FUCK UP AN ENDING THIS BAD??

i need a fic or something where steve tells eddie "hey you were a dick in high school too. jumping on tables and screaming at people who just want to eat their lunch about their conformism to the man or whatever was annoying as fuck. also why did lucas have to choose between a sport and your nerd game that's normal. people are multidimensional. I'm not alone in this, who wasn't a total dick at 16. where is your redemption arc mister."

Y'all, I hate to say it, but no, Nandermo did not "go canon", in an "alternate universe" or through "implications" or otherwise. They were making fun of us. That was the point of all the little nudges and open questions that were quickly squashed. That was the point of the hypnosis ending. The point of that hypnosis was quite literally "Here, let's give the perfect fake wish-fulfillment ending to parts of our fanbase" (which is why there were three. They're fake. That's the point. The point is that they are supposed to be fantasies to appeal to people's hopes for the show).

Having Nandor and Guillermo as a classic sitcom couple set to a laugh track in a universe where none of the other characters exist was a jab at shippers who wanted Nandermo to be canon and cared more about that than the other characters or the premise of the show. They were making fun of "and they lived happily ever after" type fanwork. They were making fun of people who, in their eyes, ignored the irreverence and violence and black comedy of the show in order to make fluffy slash content. They were explicitly saying: "This is how we see you, and this is how we see what you want from this show, and we are telling you that it won't happen and we in fact have contempt for the very concept."

Why do you think they kept baiting the ship until the literal last lines of the show? They were making fun of us. They were saying "Ha! You still thought this would happen? After years of us saying it won't, to your face? Idiots." It's a comedy show, and they were making shippers the butt of the joke. They've been doing it for seasons now.

This is literally what Supernatural did back in the day. And nobody said that they made Destiel canon when they had an in-universe/alternate-universe stage play where the actors "explore Destiel". Fans back then recognized that it was a joke at their expense. That's what this is. Same as what happened in BBC Sherlock that one time, where in-universe conspiracy theorists said that Sherlock was in love with Moriarty (a ship the creators deliberately baited, mind you, same as they have here), specifically for the purpose of laughing at and making fun of that theory.

I'm so sorry, guys. I know you wanted to hope. I know you wanted to believe that the things the writers said at that con weren't true, but they were. I know because I wanted to hope too, even when I knew full well it wouldn't happen. They've been plain about how they feel about the ship for years. They saw it as a joke, one that drew in viewers, but was objectionable at its core. And they've followed through on that by baiting and jabbing up until the very end.

studies from the finale

[ghostlycleric]

Will donating his dnd stuff at the end of season 3 was a more on the nose metaphor than I thought.

[Context: dnd = their relationship. The goodbye scene itself, the rain fight, and their overall conflict all point to this.]

So, Will walks into the room and gives their relationship away right in front of Mike. Mike panics for a second, confused: “woah, dude, that’s the donation box”. Will doesn’t bat an eye. Instead he tells Mike that the ball is in his court: “we can just use yours…if we still want to play”. Basically, we can be us if you want us to be. Then Mike asks if he’ll move on from him. Will says that isn’t possible, and he walks away. Both of them are smiling, happy.

Then we get to season 4…

Will doesn’t move on, doesn’t join another party. But… Mike doesn’t make any moves. He doesn’t reach out to Will. That’s the core of their miscommunication. Will thought they agreed that Will wouldn’t replace him, and Mike would prove that he wanted to stay with him. He gave the ball to Mike expecting him to do something with it, and then nothing happened.

Why? Because El lied to Mike, he thought Will didn’t uphold his end of the bargain. He thought Will got new friends and was super happy in Lenora and their goodbye meant nothing to him. Mike was jealous of these imaginary people and upset at Will for lying to him in their goodbye.

Mike and Will spend season 4 unraveling the above miscommunication (that was set up in their s3 goodbye scene). You’d think that’d be the end of it. Mike and Will’s relationship has finally been restored and they can be best friends again. But then…

At the end of season 4, Will donates his love for Mike, again. They just made it more literal. Season 4 was just Will giving up his initiative in the relationship because of everything that happened in season 3. Now, a new, mature Will quite literally donates his side of their relationship to El. He gives away his love and his painting.

If Mike and Will were supposed to just be best friends, they wouldn’t have reintroduced that conflict in a more serious way. Season 4 would’ve been the end of it. It’s just like how Mike and El had ‘silly fights, stupid fights’ in season 3 that were reintroduce in season 4 in a more serious way. For Mike and El that was meant to deconstruct their romantic relationship. For Mike and Will, this conflict reintroduction is meant to construct their romantic relationship.

The plotline is different this time, though. They flipped it on it’s head. Now, Will is the one lying to Mike, not El. This time, Mike’ll be forced to realize that Will put words in El’s mouth in the same way El did for Will in her letters.

El’s lie caused Mike to ignore Will, destroying their relationship. In the end, he restablishes their relationship. Will’s lie caused Mike to “confess his love” to El, restoring their relationship. In the end, Mike… stays with El?

The painting lie is set up to be unraveled in season 5. Mike’s reaction to this lie is important and it changes something. Otherwise, the painting wouldn’t exist.

But, yeah, they’re definitely writing a slow burn rejection…

[ozzo-the-wozzo]

Hey guys so do we want to talk about how Lila’s entire thing is that she lies and yet the biggest lie this season isn’t coming from her... but from Marinette.

How Lila and Marinette match each other intellectually, which Marinette herself says while fighting Lila (‘unlike the other Hawkmoth you’re actually clever!’). How Marinette has always fought against Lila’s lies but is now perpetuating one herself that will probably turn out to be one of the most (unintentionally-don't attack my daughter) harmful ones in the show- and its to Adrien- one of the only people who didn't initially fall for Lila's lies.

How the thing- the lie that is going to break Adrien this season, that will guiltrip him over his final confrontation with his father, make him hate himself for not being there for the final battle, and make him feel the weight of a thousand revelations and implications and betrayal once revealed, comes not from the villain known for lying... but from Marinette.

There is something to be said about villains paralleling the hero, and BOY is this season going to be one of the most heartbreaking and craziest examples of it yet.
