How to fix S4 (and some of S5)
Based off a discussion I had with @lilshitwayne
Season 4 was underwhelming, especially after 3B, bringing Kate back was random and unnecessary and the Benefactor plot was wasted cuz it could have been better
so letâs fix it shall we
Kate: Remove her, sheâs dead, thatâs it
Berserkers: No, they werenât necessary at all, they were an excuse for Kate being a threat and their lore wasnât even explored, she goes away so we donât need this. We can maybe have Berserker assassins, human hunters who worship Odin, their strength and fury while human can be explained by using magical herbs bs, it could also affect their mind so we have to deal with one of the berserkers going berserk on his berserker friends, killing all of them so we only deal with a super powerful one
Benefactor: We are not changing the base stuff, itâs someone or something that wants all the supernatural beings dead and is paying well for it, who should it be tho? Humans, BHâs citizens are not that stupid, but considering S1 - S3B they probs arenât happy with the supernatural beings, now, who do we know that have money and know about Supernatural beings? Dannyâs parents, we get an excuse on why Danny left and we get parents who were only trying to protect their son and other normal humans from this hellhole
âBut hey, so the whole season will be about the Benefactor?â You ask
the answer is no, we removed Kate, we can bring another female villain, one that would make more sense this season, Desert Wolf
Malia is back to human, DW now knows sheâs alive so she comes back to BH so she can kill her daughter, which btw, she wanted to have, she only wanted to kill Malia after she discovered sheâd lose her powers, so you know, we get a fucking reason on why she didnât abort. Talia took her memories of Malia after she discovered DW didnât want to share her powers with her daughter, and Malia too obviously
also, she drugged Maliaâs mom, she didnât just shoot the car and the police never found bullet holes, thatâs so stupid istg
But who would ever help DW? Peter, it makes more sense than him helping Kate in any context, remember when he killed one of the only surviving members of his family because he wanted to murder Kate after she burned him and most of his family alive? Yeah
Peter wants Scott dead, cuz jelly bitch DW wants Malia dead, cuz power ho
Peter didnât care about Malia anyway
also, this DW will be actually threatening, unlike the showâs, who failed to kill her daughter (3 times, 4 if you count she didnât even want to have a baby and couldâve aborted), a skinny teenager who was standing in front of her gun (âmember when Stiles did stuff? Yeah, S5A was so long ago, we had hope) and an ex-Marshal (who is also very bad at killing people she wants to kill and knows nothing bout gun safety)
Derek also doesnât fucking evolve or whatever the shit, they never even explained that, or maybe he does and we actually know what it is and that Talia went through the same thing, instead of just âhe can turn into a wolf now, he evolved, heâs stronger than when he was an Alpha!â like seriously Jeff, Jesus fucking Christ dude
Anyway, we get a Malia/Hale focused season, after the Benefactor thing at least, and it helps S5 by removing the unnecessary Desert Wolf plotline that wasnât even as big as Dread Doctors or Beast but also had a stupid ending, Iâm bitter about the last two episodes still, S5A built so much interesting looking plots and 5B just... happened, most of it felt like a crack fic tbh
Those are all the problems I can remember in S4, thereâs probably more, but now the season is better and makes actual sense, yay
