#morrow muses

concise part is over . next part is Especially me Just Getting My Thoughts Out ->*as i said, i loved aso, but it think might be the last Really good ih season. i didn’t finish na. and it’s Not because i don’t do well with horror, rather, the opposite: it was underwhelming as hell. i found it interesting, but as it neared the end i just couldn’t shake that something was missing, and so it never gripped me like its forebears did. it was also pretty bitty. i don’t think this was a bad thing here (not even in darker tones!! they did bits in coc fine!!), but it might’ve been where they started getting out of hand. the first bitty aps started here (and honestly were the highlight of the season to me — i go back to them super frequently, but can never get myself to actually check out the finale. i get the criticism of the bitty aps, and do agree somewhat, but i also personally love them and don’t want to lose them haha), which like it or not, began a trend which also corresponded to weaker seasons. i didn’t much like jy, in all honesty. there were parts i loved !!! i thought the introduced mechanics were fascinating, and its twisted to say but the bits saved the season for me. otherwise i would have had no interest. I’m not sure i would necessarily say that the more insane bits correlated with a weaker story and finale (though you could definitely make an argument there. brief note to say i have no interest in analysing what works and what didn’t in these seasons, im just noting something documented in my own feelings towards them. this is not proper analysis and should not be treated as such, really this part is just me expressing grievances and laying them out), but those are the things i remember about it. and i Did like ch!!!! it just Also left me feeling underwhelmed. feeling an ‘Is this it?’ even more potent than na, because i wanted to be enraptured and love it so much !!!!! i was excited what this concept could bring !!!! but the finale in particular left me a little baffled. again, i liked it, i liked the bits (you most likely won’t hear me complain about an individual bit-i always do love them-just what they Do to the show), i liked the concept, but i wasn’t in love with it, like i knew i could be — i was able to love tuc2 for fucks sake !!!. just disappointed. so im worried. it’s been years since a main season i feel i can proudly say i love. it feels like there have been two eras — the first in which they are less sure of their craft, have less resources available to them (virtually none with sy and tuc2, the latter of which i loved, and the former, while i do have a couple grievances with, was serviceable and honestly still impressive for what they were working with!!), but make better stories; and the second in which they are clearly more experienced, know their craft down to a tee, have so much more to work with, but can’t deliver as well. maybe its newfound freedom, maybe i just have more expectations of them. this is only a trend with the ih seasons, also, i actually have grown to like the smaller seasons more and more, so i think it’s Something to do with the cast and the long-season formula. sighs. what id do to see tuc2 with what ch had to work with.
