>>54753224Setting aside your ESL aside and your missing archive link for context, MPM is more short-packed than anything. At its core its fine for being the finale, the manlet doing the same shit as always while FINALLY elaborating and realizing what came for his dreams after the M8 after 25 years of just saying there's another step for it.
11 episodes were for all the circumstances too little though and the resolution for it might as well could've been the same by splicing Episode 1, 9, 10 and 11 together. MPM was basically one final hurrah with KANTOOOOO and nostalgia with little regards towards proper set dressing.
The staff implosion from last year plus their partnerships with various Producers and Marketing fucking each other over in one way or another, a lot of material for JN was left over and to fulfill the PR promise of Tomiyasu, they cramped the rest of the JN idea with the bare minimum into the mix, resulting in the reservemons being no more than being a background prop, Cilan only getting his return in the 3rd ep instead of JN.
