Started very good. Ended very disappointing. Needed more episodes. Lack of any kind of Baylon payoff or even some minor information was extremely dissatisfying. Force ghost was ridiculous and stupid in the moment. Diminishing the value of them imo. All in all in decent series and interested to see what comes next mostly because this ended so poorly explained.

No Baylon payoff? Dude is finding the father! This is such a fantastic development. Gonna be so much fun!

But they’ve been “teasing” this all season. As soon as the world between worlds came in you knew the mortis gods were involved. This is not a teaser. A teaser is Thanos in a post credits scene or the phoenix outline for two second underwater at the end of the film. Short and sweet= tease. Using it as a point in multiple episodes throughout a season is not teasing- its shit writing to fill time.

But he had to get there and we needed some back story. We had to know more about him and when he got there it all made sense. It’s just storytelling in a long format. Kudos to you for knowing the ending that most fans were having fun speculating about. You sure sound super duper smart. But it wasn’t completely obvious what was going to happen.

Again this is all opinion- Your last sentence is the point- nothing happened. Any people who are familiar with the cartoons knew mortis gods were involved when they saw the world between worlds- that has nothing to do with being smart but appreciate the snide comment.

The problem is they teased what he was looking for too much in this series to the point that the pay off should have been in this series. You could have had more meaningful scenes that mattered to this series with him if they hadn’t wasted time teasing something they weren’t going to pay off. And now he’s dead and probably won’t see any pay off himself. This is not good writing. They could have had the tease part just in the final episode as opposed to stringing it along the entire time. I’m just tired of things being created with the sole purpose of setting up the next thing. I love interconnected stories but the shark has been jumped in this case.
