Wasted potential and rushed storytelling
Well... That was a very long journey... I have a lot to say, but i don't think I will remember everything as I write this.
Story wise it had a lot of potential. This series started as an omegaverse and it carried a lot of importance in S1, but here in S2 it just didn't matter now did it? Special Alphas were supposed to be unique and hard to come by and I do understand that Tony had to do something evil, but making your own powered people just made the powered characters from season 1 "useless". They started off well but it took too long to build up the entire story and then they decided to shoved everything in last 2 episodes.
The entire racing thing... If I begin talking about how UNREAL that was I don't think I will ever stop... I will just say that Babe, Charlie and North winning all 3 trophies is literally impossible because there is no way that North had more accumulated points in those 3 races he did than any other racer in the entire season... Even by just participating you get points and even if North finished top 4 it shouldn't be enough to win anything.
Now character wise - it was even worse... The actions that some characters took made no sense and relationships were not given enough time to properly develop or end for that matter...
ALAN — Personally what Alan did made sense to me to a certain point. I understand that the thought of surgery is extremely scary and him wanting to avoid it and feel young once more makes complete sense because he just wants to be the best version of himself for Jeff and his pack.
WINNER — Winner also made sense. He has nobody by his side, literally nobody so him taking the opportunity to work for Tony once more MAKES sense because he is the only person he knows and this is something he knows how to do. Besides even if he acts tough he is just scared.
SONIC — What the hell was wrong with Sonic in this season??? Why the hell eas he such an asshole to every single member of X Hunter and especially North?? Sonic has been in the same situation as North so why couldn't he understand where the hesitation has come?
PETE — Pete good god what the heck is wrong with him???? Him purposely ignoring Kenta and his wellbeing is something so ridiculous i can't even explain it. They grew up together and he has literally zero cares for him? in S1 he abandoned him and left him with Tony and in S2 he did the same? Him sleeping with Chris was also so forced that I skipped every single scene of them together. I didn't understand his attraction to Way in S1 and then they pushed his twin back in and let him take over?? Pete you have issues...
CHRIS — I cannot tell you how much i hated the plotline of Tony having an actual kid, let alone having an enigma child. That plotline was so unnecessary that I forgot about until the rooftop.
TONY — Oh lord Tony... Can someone explain to me why did Tony ever wish Babe back? Charlie I get because his blood is what he needs, but what does Babe have to do with it all.. You can't tell me that Tony ever loved him because that man is incapable of feeling anything...
That ending was so incredibly bad... It was so rushed and just jumping into that wedding did not sit well with me. Winner and Willy shouldn't have been there and that bouquet was supposed to be Jeff's so a huge hate towards thay company for doing that and ruining the ending even more.
Change deleting that AlanJeff scene is the biggest disrespect towards SailubPon, AlanJeff and us the fans and I never thought they could step even lower, but they proved me wrong.
All in all it was a very rushed ending, but the reason the series did well was because of season 1 which left us wanting for more, unfortunately this just wasn't it... Far from it
