The show may have ran for a while and was loved by all but that dosent excuse it from critique. And frankly since season 3 it was going down a slow but steady spiral of mediocrity.



I will say what I said initially again: The ending was shit, a shit cap to a shit hauling barge in a brown sea, that finally sunk. Good riddance, yet now we will enjoy Gen 5 and it's potential WOKENESS.



The comics, from what I have followed them over the years have done a much better job in either expanding the narrative or giving more characters some well deserved depth.However I dont feel it is right or required for you to watch a movie or series then be forced to find a conclusion you seek in a comic book, it is frankly unfair towards a viewer or fan.The writers of the show have had ten years almost and a hefty production bible by Lauren Faust to figure themselves out, yet as the show went on the writing staff for each episode got severly downgraded in numbers and quality.
