#been thinking about the placement of the showdown between belos and the hexsquad happening in ep 1 instead of anywhere else #mainly for lunter reasons if that is ever not obvious #(aka for a lunter endgame it makes more sense to have the ending of TTT happen in the last episode because Stakes) #(hunter actually dies and flapjack's sacrifice is the conclusion of the evelyn/caleb backstory) #(and it's pretty hard to work hunter or anyone from the hexsquad into the final showdown otherwise) #this is where the show shoots itself in the foot by having luz and hunter's relationship be on like tier C of importance #because it IS emotionally charged to see belos exerting that kind of power into the kid he groomed one last time #it IS emotionally charged to see luz wrestle with her determination to defeat belos and her love for hunter #it IS emotionally charged to know that someone will die here and it may be one of the kids #whereas the battle at the end of WAD is barely a battle and just meant to be the bow on top of luz's development #if luz and hunter's relationship had been more central to the show then hunter facing belos is a given AND a good narrative choice #who else gets to kill belos but the person created in the likeness of the one that made belos reach such lows to begin with? #or at the very least have the other people close to luz have some history with belos or something #eda couldn't care less about belos. same for king. and don't even get me started on amity............... #this is just a hexsquad problem btw like what is willow's bearing in this. the track system works wonders for her #in theory her life with belos as emperor is as good as it will ever be #same thing with gus #it's just hunter! that's the important piece there! #this show is just. broken. it truly refuses to bring up any of the actually interesting characters #sorry this rambling doesn't have a point besides 'toh is dumb sometimes' which is a thing i often say anyways #but man...... besides luz's resolution there's nothing to the ending. nothing.
