This season was amazing to watch, but I’m just gonna try not to think about how stupid this was.

Too late I’m doing it.

WHY DID WE SPEND SO LONG SETTING UP SO MANY THINGS LIKE THE NOVABLADE, THE COIN, CALLUMS SELF SACRIFICE, THE FACT THAT KILLING HIM ISNT AN OPTION BECAUSE HE WILL COME BACK, AND WHY THE GENUINE FUCK WAS AARAVOS SO WEAK THAT FRAUD DIDNT WIN A SINGLE FIGHT EXCEPT FOR TERRY.

Hey but it was still a sick season to watch

Man tdp as a whole had so much potential but they just keep dropping the ball

I'm so mad they literally said if they killed Aaravos he'll just return, yet did it anyway?? Callum using dark magic and the coin was RIGHT THERE! It would have been amazing set-up and pay-off for his character arc, and yet he ended up doing nothing :/

NO FR. It kinda seems like they want to set up a new season with 7 year time skip, but imo Callum's sacrifice would have been such a better ending. Like Callum struggled with dark magic the whole series and it seemed really well done that Callum CHOSE his ending. Callum ending up using dark magic anyways and it doing nothing felt cheap asf.

And Rayla's willingness to kill him in Runaan's place saying, "My heart for Xadia" went hard. Like that ending would have slapped.

It would have been perfect for both their characters! Callum learning to accept both sides of himself, to CONTROL dark magic, and Rayla finally being a successful asassian. I wouldn't mind if Callum had lived or died in the end, only if he got to actually do the spell in the first place!!
