What is awful, though, is how unlikable the finale (and several episodes preceding it) have managed to make the majority of the characters, including Star. the Forces of Evil, 'Cleaved'- This one has a lot of the same problems which Samurai Jack's finale is 'blessed' with, though they are somewhat not quite as severe here. A pure antithesis of what Samurai Jack actually is.

Retroactively belittles large parts of the show it concludes. A completely unearned bittersweet ending. Nonsensical story elements (Jack's friends arriving so quickly, Ashi disappearing months after Aku is dead, etc.). Samurai Jack, 'CI'- Extremely rushed plotting.

the Forces of Evil, Legend of Korra, Wander Over Yonder, and Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated. As a warning, there will be some SPOILERS for Adventure Time, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Regular Show, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Samurai Jack, Star Vs. Plus, I have come to realize just how many endings I really don't find to be good, and it would be interesting to see how people react to my opinions.

Now that I think about it, I might as well rank some Western animated series finale (that I have seen) because why the hell not? I like to categorize stuff like this. However, the third act really does make the most of her character, and I appreciate that even if I wish the majority of the rest of her appearances got that same treatment. It's a shame how poor her character turned out to be, the rapping sucks, and the plot relies on characters being dumbasses. Compared to the nothing character she was at the end of Season 3, she really came into her own as a slightly less nothing character. Her final rap is more a speech which shows how she doesn't take other people's shit and also follows her own destiny and emotions (passionate but in control). I also actually really like the conclusion of 'Son of Rap Bear.' The episode itself is a culmination of sorts of everything about Flame Princess's character: Her struggles with people who are manipulative such as Toronto, her current friendship with Finn, her facing the expectations people put on her about who she should be (evil or submissive) and how she should act, and her relationship with her father.

It's also a mess of tones and writing, and the resolution with Gumbald does unspeakable damage to both the episode and season. With Part 2, I actually enjoy some sections of it despite its rushed pacing, find the resolution to Fern's arc to be okay, and think that PB and Finn mostly come out of the episode intact. 4'- Had just enough going right for me to not be truly disappointed (even if the finale isn't actually that good). 1'- The least flawed part of the finale but also a little slow. This one could represent the season on the whole. 'Bonnibel Bubblegum'- Smart, rushed, stupid, bland, compelling, lackluster. 'Gumbaldia'- Thanks, Uncle Gumbald and Aunt Lolly. 'Diamonds and Lemons'- Pretentious and bland. 'Son of Rap Bear'- Somvilay and Kim, please no. The way the episode is constructed is sort of a mess, but I really like the majority of its parts. 3- The poor treatment of Finn aside and some rushed pacing, the episode actually has some tension, satisfying character beats, and a decent balance of tones between entertaining, compelling, and hopeless. 'Temple of Mars'- A solid episode in of itself, and I did too much mental gymnastics in my episode review regarding Betty to not put it here. 'Blenanas'- Just a lot of fun and features a good dynamic between Finn and Ice King. Also tightly written, well paced, and features Uncle Gumbald in a minimal role which is fortunately not damaging towards the episode. 'The Wild Hunt'- A fantastic episode featuring Finn and his struggles with Fern and nonviolence. The only thing I might have against the episode is how poor the shapeshifter story turned out after the teaser featured here, but the teaser here is well done and a really small part of the episode. Tight storytelling, intricate and satisfying weaving of characters and concept, and a strong emotional core with Finn and Jake and their feelings towards their parents. 'The First Investigation'- I'm a sucker for good episodes centered around time shenanigans, and this is an especially great one.

I'm just glad the poor storytelling and bland writing is mostly contained to this season. I don't really have much else to say about the season as a whole, honestly. Only a handful of episodes were truly good/great. The Uncle G-Virus infected the season and caused it to mutate and degenerate into nonsensical mediocrity through and through.
