Watching this to go to sleep is so cozy for the part of my brain that is a silly dramatic performance.

To everyone in the tags yelling about how D20 is a COMEDY and everyone should lighten up, etc. etc.: I'm glad you enjoyed the finale! But putting any objections about how CCoD ended down to humorlessness is disingenuous at best.

I've been here since 2019, guys; I know exactly what show I'm watching. And when it's good, what D20 proves in spades is that comedy can go hand-in-hand with stakes and with story. You can have it all! And this time we just didn't.

The Whittakers were pretty much defeated already; getting mushed by a ghost bus was just icing on that cake. The Douglases going down in an orgy of violence was...well, as expected, though it would have been nice to know more about their powers and whatnot. But the political storylines ended on a complete whiff. There was no election, no real campaign arc, not even a hard commitment from Amelia to run for office.

Maybe if the Douglas blood orgy would have turned the election somehow that would have tied things together more. But even then we'd have the half-baked Camarilla story ending - it wasn't as thoroughly neglected as the Purpee politics, but ending with "oh actually we can defeat these ultra-powerful vampires after all" is a bit of a letdown.

Trapping Ermine in the void was a thrill because it felt like such a close call. But then she and Nixon went down like comparative chumps - the friggin' gumbaroo felt more dangerous. And again, I wouldn't mind that if it was just somehow tied to the story more. At least with Tarker, the party used his one established character trait against him to hilarious effect.

I enjoyed a lot of the finale, but if I wanted plotless comedy I'd watch a stand-up special. The center of this campaign, this thing we'd been watching for 13-plus episodes, was tying vampires to the ridiculous nitty gritty of making a town a good place to live. It's not humorlessness to feel let down when in episode 14 that almost entirely disappears.

#also #brennan literally said 'i fucked up' in the AP about introducing nixon #beardsley said they still didn't understand the system #and emily was on her phone half the time #there's so much to love about this season but i think it's beyond fair to say the ending wasn't super well thought out #city council of darkness spoilers #ccod spoilers #ccod critical #in case anyone wants to block it #ugh i'm so torn i just think this season deserved a better ending!#i think they'd benefit from being like 20% more on the rails #and it's a disservice to the show to say it's just a comedy!#or to say that's what happens with a sandbox!#starstruck was INCREDIBLY off the rails in an open galaxy and the final fight felt so earned and climactic #it's one of my favorite ever seasons!#they absolutely can nail a chaotic crying laughing sandbox finale #and it's frustrating to see posts saying people critiquing the show lack whimsy or are taking it too seriously #give d20 the credit it deserves and let people critique it like the art it is #and please be less dismissive about it because you can't be disappointed by it if you don't care

everyone say thank you Siobhan for the toxic yuri <3<3<3

#ccod #city council of darkness #ccod spoilers #city council of darkness spoilers #i adore her she was the highlight of the season to me 💜💜💜

this is a genuine, genuine question born of curiosity and my love for d20 & ccod:

were you satisfied with how the CCOD finale resolved major storylines?

yes

mostly yes, but there are a few things that needed resolution

about 50/50 - some were resolved, others weren't

mostly no, but there were a few things that were resolved

other/bald/whatever the current meta is

not trying to start discourse or anything, but i'm curious how other people feel! they did such a great job building out the lore and introducing fascinating NPCs this season that i still have sooooo many questions!

#ccod #city council of darkness #d20 #dimension 20 #ccod spoilers #city council of darkness spoilers #really don't want to get people upset so reiterating again that this is coming from a place of deep love for d20 and this season 💜

i DESPERATELY need d20 to stop introducing a fuckton of new lore in the last episodes then getting distracted by bits and forgetting to tie up loose ends because while i appreciate the call to political action i have so so so so many questions and bingo isn't even mayor!!

between hj's (dead?) clown gf and the nun that fucked lavonte, lou and ally were making a truly valiant effort to un-homoeroticize their relationships but then lou comes in with one of one and a kiln and undoes all of their work immediately 🥹

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS THAT BRENNAN'S GARY SINISE IS BANSKY JOKE WAS RUINED LIKE A MONTH BEFORE THE SEASON AIRED

#ccod #ccod spoilers #city council of darkness #city council of darkness spoilers #if u don't know what i mean banksy's identity was revealed by reuters in march

i really appreciate brennan keeping the douglases extremely christian instead of having their christianity being a front for their evil supernatural cult!! it would be super easy to have it all be a ruse, but i think it's a way more honest portrayal of hardcore right-wing christians in america because their goal to conquer the whole world is a DIRECT result of their fervent devotion to the cruelest parts of their faith
