I was wrong and thatโs ok
I think this is the only post Iโm going to make about season 4 (and perhaps about the show honestly ๐ญ).
Iโll admit I completely rushed through the final season as soon as I saw THE scene.
Turns out I was VERY off the mark and thatโs ok.
That being said, that 3 minutes scene soured the entire show for me. I couldnโt even care to watch the end after witnessing it. And itโs a shame because everything with Ben looked quite good.
Iโm not even mad I just donโt care about it anymore because it feels like a joke ๐ญ
Them not being endgame I would have gladly accepted and I would have been fine with, as I said many times. They could have figured out they didnโt work, anything, I would have accepted with grace.
But thatโs exactly what Iโm saying, I would have been fine with anything supposing we had been granted anything.
But their one and only conclusion being an half-assed talk as early as episode 4 where they both decide theyโre โnot meantโ for each other out of the blue and thatโs it, thatโs a wrap, and then the show literally forgets about them?
With absolutely no build-up to it whatsoever, no conflict, no tears, no mention of their feelings, no nothing. 3 MINUTES.
After a 6 year relationship??? After Kenji legit wanted to *** himself???
Their story deserved at least SOMETHING??? ANYTHING???
I donโt know EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF DILEMMA, OF EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR FEELINGS, ASKING THEMSELVES ABOUT THEM???? ๐ญ
Jurassic outpost in their review said that Brooklynnโs conflicts with Darius and Kenji were like at the core of this season and Iโm like, WHERE????
That kind of love for someone doesnโt disappear like that, you donโt just stop loving the person on command and be fine with it.
You have Kenji running to her at the airport in season 2, his reaction to finding out she was alive, the entire plane scene, all that for what, for their next meeting to be nah itโs fine, we just donโt care? And then they legit just forget each otherโs existence?
As I said itโs not the fact that they donโt get back together that bothers me, itโs the fact that none of them even care and that the writers just disrespected the heck out of their dynamic.
They behaved like strangers and I donโt want this to sour my memories of their relationship in camp cretaceous (Iโm not even talking about their romantic relationship).
Even as a non-romantic pairing they deserved better than this. From what Iโm seeing they have barely interacted all season through.
I know people hated them as a ship but this is just so bad.
Even Yazammy, though they end up together, were written so badly. They have this emotional breakup in season 3, and then, out of nowhere, theyโre just fine, giggling and sh*t??? Itโs like they did a game of head or tails with both pairings. They see each other again after their emotional break up and for Kenlynn itโs โacting like we never gave a fโ, while for Yazammy itโs โacting like we never broke up and never had a problemโ. But thereโs absolutely no justification for either, not an ounce of building up to it, itโs just random. You make it, you donโt, but weโre not going to bother explaining why.
On the topic of Dinostar, I think they really hinted at Darius being aromantic. Or at least at him understanding that his love for Brooklynn isnโt romantic. He loves her but is not in love with her. This scene was cute honestly and I would have liked their conclusion if they hadnโt butchered the rest (people can see it as them being hinted at but I personally donโt see it, not after their scene in the elevator, I think they end up as platonic soulmates, as they always were).
And honestly with how they handled Kenji and Brooklynn, Darius and Brooklynn could have spent an entire episode making out I wouldnโt have cared lol.
And thatโs such a shame because I loved this show so much. But Kenji and Brooklynn were my favorite characters and my favorite dynamic, romantic or not. But now everytime I will see Brooklynn and Kenji in camp cretaceous I will only think of how the final season butchered their bond as if they never even gave a crap about each other.
So Iโd rather not watch it again ๐
