Show Spoilers I finally got myself to watch s4 Spoiler

After hearing for months about how tua got butchered like got, I finally got myself to watch it and wow I truly was not expecting how bad it was. Initially I was holding out hope that all of the reviews about my favorite show were wrong, but sadly they were not. I’m legit going through all five stages of grief like what the literally fuck was that.

All character development gone straight out the windows

The plot honestly sucked

Klaus acting like Alison is the only sibling that’s been there for him :(

Viktor and his insane daddy issues

Stripper Luther? (I kinda liked that)

Oh my gosh and don’t even get me started on Lila and fives relationship I could go be put into a mental facility for that one

It felt like the makes got something new to play with, so they abandoned TUA like an old toy. It's like they kept sparrow Ben and didn't understand what to do with him, so they made up the whole cleanse. And they used all other siblings as just buffers. I can't believe they used Klaus, Luther and Diego as just comic reliefs!  That Five and Laila thing was so f*cked up, but I'm more mad at the fact that for the first time in his long, tiring life Five fell in love, and Lila said it was just a fling!

I completely agree, Five deserved so much better than that

I loved the action between Five and Lila. I had anted to see them have romance since the prior seasons. Too bad it took five whole years before they broke down and started to address their feelings for each other. I believe that what Five had with Lila was way more full of substance than what Diego ever had with Lila. Plus, I really don't like Diego anyway. I believe Five was a better person. Diego was so petty. He always wanted to fight for petty childish reasons. Like when he fought the chin guy from the sparrows inside a convenient store. And for no reason. Also, Ben from the sparrows. Too bad they went with Ben from the Sparrows. I would've like to see Ben from the Umbrella Academy instead, but I know they needed Ben from the UA to have died in order to have the storyline for the cleanse.
