BIG MOUTH SEASON 5 THOUGHTS bc whooo boy do I have a lot:
SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT
Ok honestly I felt like there was just way too many hormone monsters to keep track of this season. With the usual hormone monsters along with the love bugs, hate worms, shame wizard etc. it felt super overwhelming. That might’ve been the point but idk it was just a lot
That being said the love bugs are really interesting additions. I’m wondering if they’re gonna be a permanent fit alongside the regular hormone monsters. It seems that way & I don’t mind if they are bc I enjoy them!
The Lola and Jay storyline was so exhausting 😭 I’m glad they didn’t get back together in the end but I hated how they always got back together and immediately broke up 3 minutes later IT WAS JUST PAINFUL TO WATCH
That goes for Jay and Matthew too. God I have so much to talk about regarding them. I LOVE jatthew but I hate how it happened. Matthew suddenly taking an interest in Jay and gaslighting Aiden made me so mad. I doubt we’re gonna see Aiden again but I really felt sorry for him, He deserved better than what he got.
Their relationship felt extremely rushed. I hated how they got together and then the very next scene with them was them breaking up? Then after that was them getting together again
I did like how Matthew took Jay in and is genuinely someone who cares about him and won’t blow up at him *cough*. Also the scene where Jay was assuming that Matthew was joking about liking him was heartbreaking. Please don’t make these two break up they’re good for each other
Lola is so impulsive and petty but I can’t help but feel sympathy for her :( I’m hoping that Rodney becomes her caretaker bc this girl needs some real parentage
The Christmas episode was really funny but it honestly wasn’t needed, it could have been another episode that spaced out the plotlines but I digress
I loved Bernie & it saddens me that we probably won’t see her again 😔 Her and Andrew were perfect for each other
SPEAKING OF ANDREW I LOVED HIS GROWTH THIS SEASON it’s crazy how he was somehow the only kid that I didn’t constantly cringe at (other than the creepy teacher plot)
SAPPHIC JESSI SAPPHIC JESSI!!! Her relationship with Ali was so touching and speaking as a bi woman captured the feelings perfectly! It’s scary and it’s exciting & it felt like I was looking through my own eyes at that age. I remember being so scared but thrilled when I realized that I liked girls too. I applaud the writers because you can tell they put so much care and thought into it. I seriously hope they go more into her sexuality next season!
AGHH I LOVED THE BIRCHES!! Seeing Elliot finally show an emotion other than “I love my kids and pleasuring my wife” WAS SOOO REFRESHING. It really showed that him and Diane had more depth and I really love their relationship
Leah and Val’s relationship was oddly sweet? Them being open and honest with each other about what they wanted when it came to sex wasn’t something I expected, but it was nice to see a show talk about how important it is for sex to be a good experience for both partners, not just one.
I’m glad to see a different side of Val other than “Jay’s asshole brother” & it really feels like he’s changing himself to be better. I’m hoping that him and Leah don’t end up breaking up considering that most relationships in this show don’t seem to last but we can only see what happens
I didn’t expect to want to throw things at my TV because of Missy BUT WHEW she really went off the deep end this season. Her anger towards Jessi & Ali was justified but her actions weren’t. I’m just so happy and glad that she improved herself in the end!
I’m getting kinda tired of the Nick plot line every season being “Nick is an asshole who ruins all his relationships and learns to be a better person in the end” because it just seems like he always goes back on it. I’m hoping that next season will be different but who knows
It really was a bummer for them to develop Devon so much only to have him go back to being Devin’s boyfriend 😔 I really thought there would be a plot line with him and Missy but it seems like it was quickly dropped after the bacne scene
NICK KROLL. THAT IS ALL
Overall this season was bumpy, but it’s probably the best one yet imo!
