i think my opinion on asc so far is that it has enough decent ideas and characters on the surface to spark interest and feel engaging but if you apply literally any modicum of scrutiny or pressure to any of the writing decisions then the entire thing just kind of crumbles and falls apart

#i mean ill take it over an arc like avos that's boring as hell #ill happily take lightleap and frostpaw and curlfeather and etc and hit them with my 'youre better written in my head' beam #but man i am needing to do a lot of mental negotiating with asc in order to enjoy it #like. this isn't cinemasins nitpicking over a kids' book at this point it's breathing a little too heavily next to a house of cards #it's also just a repetition of many of the series' biggest flaws in ways which are not new or even especially egregious just disappointing #like yaaay whup tee doo we've got 'gendered discrepancies in how the characters are written' and 'godless heathen antagonists' #how fun. my favourites (sarcasm) #asc spoilers
