thinking about about how interesting the themes of the battle in episode 46 were (everyone having darkness in their heart) and how it felt like a natural conclusion to what the season had been building up to and then they throw it all out for "a world with no emotions is bad"

#like. noir isn't wrong when he says everyone has darkness in their heart. that is very much a major theme of the season #episode 29 is all about yukari realizing that and accepting it (genuinely one of the most beautiful episodes btw i love it)#and that last arc is also about the cures overcoming elisio trying to tempt them into darkness #ymmv on ciel but it's very prominent in the rest #julio's arc is theoretically about being overcome by the darkness and then realizing he was wrong for that #like once again ymmv on how well it was done but that was clearly the intention. i do in fact realize that #my day be so fine... then bam. elisio ex machina #there's nothing wrong with the no emotions theme in isolation. in context though it just doesn't work because there wasn't enough buildup #justie goes insane about kirakira again #mostly for category purposes. i'm mostly just sighing over what could've been #wv unfortunately probably isn't going to touch on the light & darkness thing #mostly because i think adding it in would make it too crowded #the core theme of wv has always been redemption and second chances and figuring out what to do after you've done something horrible #and i would like to stick with that #lowkey it feels like they were going for a gopri-esque ending and then decided they didn't want to copy gopri 1:1 #so they changed their homework a little but then it ended up messing up the entire equation
