thinking!!! thinking!!! in the notes!!!!

#dunno if i’ll post this Out Loud but i do wanna say #that i heard about the c/r stuff and having not watched the show since ep 92 or smth #i gotta SAY: something that c/r season 2 suffered TREMENDOUSLY from was the lack of a cohesive main plot line for the majority of the show #it’s smth that vm had and what made them Work because they also had to go through the ‘why are we doing this grand quest’ stuff that i don’t #think that the m9 ever could feel other than sparsely because every action they chose #ASIDE from that because it was an open world and matt didn’t point them in any one particular direction #they hopped from arc to arc without really finding any natural conclusions or good tie ins imo #at times it just felt like..... So What Do We Do Now? and someone went: Hey! look at this note! and they did whatever while the world moved #you know? like i feel as though c/r2 was an excersize in matts amazing open world abilities and he even said i think that he wanted the m9 #to chose their own directions which is GREAT! good concept. but as a form of entertainment it just felt so incomprehensible so now at the #end of their journey it feels so unfinished. bc they spent so much time doing nothing or leaving things unfinished when they could’ve spent #it character building or confronting their pasts or whatever and then the campaign loses steam at the end #bc they reached the main plot line 3/4ths of the way through the story. #do you get what i mean????? #might talk abt this more later but anyways! great concept poor execution #flower talks #this is why short campaigns but excellent storylines are still just as good if not better cough cough go watch d20! #miss the vm story gotta say #TLDR; you can’t tell a story that lacks in story!!!! #essentially they were main characters who acted like side characters the whole time #or side characters shoved in the main character plot at the end #that’s why i liked the early eps i think cause it was such an amazing set up for the m9... like they lost a member but they’re ready now to #go forward and heal and put everything molly said into existence and growing as a group while focusing on their Main Quest or whatever #idk i get that it’s non traditional in Form like m9 is just non traditional all around #but there’s only so much that explanation can get you when you’re telling a story as a form of media
