Disenchanted Part 5's Unresolved Plot Holes | The Fangirl

Netflix's Disenchantment has officially ended, and I'm not very happy about where things ended up - or how many plot holes and unresolved issues were left behind.

You’re right it felt like the show runner just threw the show bible away and said wrap this s#it up. Bean was like an entirely different person and most of the threads that were supposed to connect were just burned. It was giving “our writers are on strike and we gotta finish this show”.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

I wondered about the strike for a hot second, but animation takes so long they surely wrote everything ages before the strike started. It’s just really sad that we had the chance for some incredible answers and reveals, and most of them were nothing. We spent SO LONG with the curse and the Steamland intrigue that went nowhere!

[@StellaFangX]

@@TheFangirlWatches Fifth Season was written before the strike happened, so that doesn't have anything to do with. It's all on Netflix and its decision to downsize adult animated series due to them being not as profitable as they wish.

"Let's make it gay. Everything and everyone else is." -some cretinous producer

They literally never explain how Freckles became a puppet... HE WAS DAGMAR AND ZOGS FIRST SON WTF HOW ARE WE IGNORING THAT??

[@thepotatobich]

I don’t think he was Zogs son, if that were the case, Derrick wouldn’t have been the heir apparent. I’m pretty sure Dagmar had an affair with someone before Zog and had freckles.

[@thomaswest2583]

I was disappointed with the season but i wasn't mad. it has holes and feels rushed but I'm okay with what we got. It feels like the team got rushed to finish the show.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

I had loved this series so dearly that I’m not okay with where it ended. There’s too many moments that brought up issues that it didn’t bother with (Freckles, the talking throne, the Og dynasty curse, etc).

[@thomaswest2583]

@TheFangirlWatches The thing is it was having a rocky time. And Netflix has been getting trigger happy with canceling shows. I'm happy we actually got a ending. It wouldn't have surprised me if they tried to cancel it

[@nihaoklynn]

I agree! I have a lot of questions and it definitely was bitter sweet but it’s definitely my comfort show now to watch over again and never get bored of it. I’m just said the friend group went away without any real goodbyes, realistically speaking I guess not all friendships end tht way either

[@Zonkaler805]

The only reason it seems rush is because it’s suspected this was meant to be a 60 episode show however they had to rush it for only one more season

[@Shouten707]

This is why they won't put in any effort into their scripts. People just eat up the garbage and happily beg for more.

[@Sjono]

I’m deeply disturbed that Bean would throw away everybody she grew close to just to be with Mora like she easily can’t do both She doesn’t seem as depressed about Luci dying as she did for Mora and she flat out abandoned Elfo

[@rainykid9155]

same because i was very annoyed with how they treated bean’s character

[@nas19281]

Exactly! It was so sad to see Elfo not be able to say goodbye to Bean. I thought surely she will come back! And she cared much more about Mora than when her dad told her not to sacrifice herself because he loves her. She cared much more about Mora than her dad, Elfo and Lucy

[@rainykid9155]

@@nas19281 yes!! exactly!! this is just the worst way to end the show

[@vaclavkapsa7394]

I didnt get the crown plot. All seasons Dagmar needed Bean so she could put the crown on her head so something could happen (i think to be the most powerful magic user?). But in the 5th season she just wanted to kill her, like she wouldnt need her all of a sudden, even when bad bean (who she planned to crown istead) dies. And then she puts the crown on HER head? Why? Like nothing happend - if she was to screw it on her head why didnt she do it right in the 2nd season? Also what was the crown suppoused to do? I do not know. Does anyone know or have any ideas?

[@TheFangirlWatches]

It was something connected to the grandmother MariaBeanie, but, yeah, even at the end of season 4 Dagmar is like "it's fine, we just need the fake Bean's head and the crown" but then they explain NOTHING further!

Also can I just add, why was satan so pathetic? like if this all revolves around a deal with hell why would the person with the most power in hell, the ruler of hell, be pathetic? isn't he supposed to be someone who's difficult to contend with?

[@g8tr80]

They were probably planning for him to have a big comeback and regain his self esteem or something but they ran out of time so in the end all he did was imprison Dagmar

[@DarkCloudNC]

They need to make a movie for this series to tie up all the loose ends

[@MaryLoveJane]

There’s a comic series at least. They plan on 3 volumes, so far 1 has released

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

I would love that, this style of animation would be gorgeous with a movie budget

[@BusterAnimations]

Dang, I do wish the ending was better. Or at least a season 6 to make it less cluttered. Oh well, we can only imagine what season 5 and 6 would be like in that timeline

[@TheFangirlWatches]

They spread the story out too widely and just couldn't get it back together in time with the alleged season 6 cut. 😑

[@thelondoncuber5829]

Also Pendergast's head randomly appearing in a jar and coming to life, seemed like it was leading somewhere

[@jamminjay6439]

Pretty sure That was just a futurama A reference

[@LiGhTbOrN77]

It would be funny if they put Richard Nixon's head in the jar. And also, maybe do something with a Jewish, humanoid lobster in a labcoat. Originality!

[@illidangraham2725]

I was curious why they didn't use that water to bring the mermaid back to life

[@BBMacsWorld]

Yeah, I was also annoyed that the Og curse and the elf kingdom weren't mentioned. You were right though. There was meant to be 6 seasons, but Netflix only gave them one last season. So, they clearly didn't have time to finish everything. I've always found the show flawed tbh. Like, a bit too flawed. In season 4, every plot point that was left from season 3 got delt with in like, the first 2 episodes. A but too rushed for me. I thought Freckles wasn't used to his full potential either and Luci dying was really dumb. Didn't understand that. I thought Satan was gonna bring him back when he saved his tail. Also, I think it's implied that God is a robot from Steamland? That's what I took from that. It sas Actually foreshadowed for a long time that Mary would take over Dreamland. In season 3, there a really quick scene when you see her sitting on the throne. Lastly, idk if you saw the post credit scene, but I actually found that to be the most confusing part. Didn't understand it at all. I really wanted to like Disenchantment, but overall. I think the show only gets a 5 from me. (Sorry for my long comment)

[@StellaFangX]

The post-credit scene was basically a nod to Elfland in the first season and a way to close Dreamland's story. Although, it can always shows to the guests and people can come and go, so whatever. For me the show was a 6-7 for how decent it was, but indeed the last seasons and the rushed pace kinda delibitate them.

[@stephaniewilliams6756]

I enjoy the ending because I understand the show was cut a season short. But I wont act like i wasnt let down by the MANY threads that went NOWHERE

[@TheFangirlWatches]

I can be empathetic that they didn’t get an extra 10 episodes like they planned, but, just…. why did the start adding in new issues, like Freckles being Bean’s “brother” when there was no time to hash out any of that?!

[@UHFStation1]

I agree with everything you said. Except maybe even as reckless as Luci is maybe he didn't mention the magic ball's ability for time travel because of the risks. Also I can only suspect mop girl got more main stage to give Lauren Tom more of a part. Was freckles alive before amateur wizard did anything? Chaz was too annoying to be in the show in general. Steamland was ridiculous. They should of focused on medieval humor. Not industrial revolution humor. They had a lot to work with already. And they never really explained the relationship between magic and stience. I hate shows that show so much potential and don't capitalize on most of it.

[@Damiieenn08]

This was a side note but in a separate video. It was theorized that Alvo/Alva spell check? Was intending to go to a whole different planet. If you look at the moon before they land, there is another earth-like planet in the back. And that's what he meant when he said he needed bean. Her powers could power the rocket to make it there.

[@mishynaofficial]

Yes, the 5th season was a bummer. It doesn’t hold up to the quality of the 1-4 seasons. But my favourite without a doubt is the 1st. I liked the light vibe of a simplistic story about medieval adventures of the friends trio. What ruined it for me were Maru and Steamland. They were overpowered with magic and science, Steamland was also boring. Nuh, I just wanted a small local sitcom with constant jokes on how everything is retarded.

[@asheleybowles7038]

Missed Plotholes: Why was Zog a mermaid at all on the rug hanging in the Dreamland throne room? What about the water trogs? They're just done? Why was the Dreamland castle filled with so many water creatures and whatnot on the walls, etc., possible ties to the mermaid kingdom? I need answers, people.....

[@TheFangirlWatches]

I wish we even had clues to offer up for theories, but there's nothing! It's maddening!

[@asheleybowles7038]

@TheFangirlWatches I love your Coraline theories. 👌🏾 Thanks for all you do.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

New Coraline video coming out this weekend!

[@bitterflywing]

I'll still take it over Star vs.

[@bitterflywing]

Star's logic was like "Wait, if we kill magic, then no one is the rightful ruler anymore" and I was like "That seems to create more problems than solve them..." considering they've never gone without magic...wht was even the point of glossaric trying to keep the magic safe if he was just going to let star do that?

[@TheFangirlWatches]

Oooooh was that the ending? I so vaguely remember it as Star and her family giving up the throne, but I couldn’t exactly remember why.

[@bitterflywing]

@@TheFangirlWatches that wasn't the only reason. Mina loveberry wanted to end the monster race And for some reason...two queens combined with two princesses couldn't defeat her because she was made with solaria's magic. But Mina technically wanted to end the monster race so that Moon could be the rightful ruler. In Moon's defence, she didn't ask for that. Anyway so Star decides that killing magic will defeat Mina. I think they just wanted season 4 to end. At least with disenchantment we got...something while star kind of gave us nothing at the end. I mean sure star and Marco are together but...that felt less important than the queens and the magic ect...

[@bitterflywing]

Oh I forgot to mention, star and moon aren't related to eclipsa. They actually came from peasant folk. Festevia was adopted by the kingdom as an orphan to replace meteora. So that's why moon stepped down. Only the kingdom was already attached to moon so the mewni broke off into two large groups.

[@emeraldpichu1]

Mora would’ve come back to life, without any intervention if Bean had put her in the ocean instead of on the rock just above where the magic infected water would be so stupid.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

1:03 Definitely one of my favorite villains in the series Mainly because he was voiced by the very talented Richard Ayode from the IT Crowd

[@marydumais9251]

I liked it, considering it -had- to be rushed with the strike. I watched it from start to end having never seen it, and it was painfully funny as much as it is stupid at times. Old Man Touchy escaped, but I think laughing horse got left at the side show in Steamland. I don't like how Chazzzzz ended up over there either, just out of nowhere. I wish we got to see some more of Giggles and his relationship with his several Grandmas.

[@mikehuffer8990]

Imo bean and mora didn't go to mermaid Island but the abandoned beach with the little sea shack mora mentioned b4

[@cartmanknowsbetterbutisope2520]

I totally agree, she didn’t even say goodbye to elfo after all he did for her, like she said to Mora “before you I didn’t know what it was to be love” … what a full of sh”t , elfo was the first one to really truly love her and give everything for her. Also Luci die because of Bean stupid fault, if she have being there to fight next to his truly friends instead of crying for a girl she only knew for a week max. she only care about Mora Daying but not the people that have being there for her all this time and that have love her truly, even is because of Luci that Mora came back to life but at the end that sacrifice was not need in the first place , Luci didn’t deserve to die. I think this lesbian love was to over made , I mean to the point at first when bean is save by her step mom and thinks elfo has die and didn’t make it but after he survives and come at the end alive when everything falls instead of she being happy she didn’t lose another love one she doesn’t even looks at him Or says anything or knowledge the fact and happiness that his friend that fight next to her until the end was alive, instead she is just being again a depress stupid empty person that forgets all the amazing love she has behind her compare to a girl she only knew for literally 5 days max…. nothing about being gay but is more that it felt because it was gay had more importance than the rest , am sure if it was a heterosexual love the trio haven’t had come second in the picture. I don’t know but bean was a completely contradiction , all the character development she made thru the series she throw it away in the last episodes specially sense just that mermaid die. Luci, Elfo and mot girl deserve better.

[@spacechimp5141]

it's in the name Disenchantment. I'm surprised it got an end, no matter how rushed and awful it was. So this whole world was just a theme park, right!? I will never know.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

No, but there is a ride for Dreamland in another city and it is extremely convoluted and confusing. I’d have preferred no set ending than trying to force all these plot lines to converge too quickly.

[@saphirawinters7028]

I'm upset that we never got to see the prophecy work.

[@lukitasmol10]

Im happy that at least we got a final season 😂 Differently from other series from Netflix. But yeah, many plotholes and it was veeery rushed. Netflix wanted to end all the animated adult series, so it did not get a part 6, and they had to end all of it in 1 more season.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

And I do appreciate that they're trying to fit 20 episodes worth of story into 10, but there was a LOT they could have cut out to avoid adding in confusion (and use that time for tying up more loose ends!) like the throne seeming to talk and everything about Freckles! 😅

[@StarStonedSim]

this is defiently a interesting perspective. i only liked the finale because it had a lot of hidden meanings in it regarding consciousness and the metaphysical. its littered all over it.

[@Lovequinn-yr8sj]

Could u give some instances ? I’d love to know

[@Nawilżone]

@@Lovequinn-yr8sj looks like he/she cant :)

[@Pacca994]

It's incredibly frustrating to think that a show that moved forward so slowly and calmly had to end so quickly Netflix may not have canceled the show but they still managed to ruin it. Freckles is basically a deleted character, the Secret Society not explored, the curse on Dreamland not even mentioned, Luci's death was rendered anticlimatically. I loved season 5 and I loved the finale, but personally I would have rather been here waiting another 10 episodes after another broken season finale But i'm very happy with the story between Mop Girl and Elfo, they saved the ending

[@debbieparnell7582]

I don't think it was the writer's fault but having to tie up 20 episodes worth of loose ends in 10. I think they did the best they could with that - and I hope they can find a way to fill in the plot holes for those of us that wanted more.

[@istoppedcaring6209]

the miri elfo paring was cute, litterally the dream of every guy in a relationship, just supercute and hearthwarming most of the rest was badly executed like they wanted to cram 3 seasons of content into one, in fact we had no elfo+miri buildup at all

[@sagitarriulus9773]

The reason why gods head was a light bulb is because he’s literally just an idea lol. I think that’s where they were going with that.

[@johnnymcgeez5647]

This is the classic case of show needing another season to properly finish, but execs just cancell it because they feel like it..

[@toadlord8594]

Honestly Disenchantment is like a flawed yet beautiful mess somewhat similar to Legend of Korra. There’s Genuinely Amazing potential in this show to be great but much of it is either shoved aside and forgotten or never addressed. Honestly Owl House Season 3, even when shortened and held back STILL had a more cohesive storyline and enjoyable ending than Disenchantment in my honest opinion.

[@Steven9567]

no it wasn't its a mess it was mess though out the whole thing and it was not beautiful

[@ashtastic7610]

Hundred percent, there was such a rush to end the show that there was a lot of unresolved plot holes and events that didn't get addressed. Like this was foreshadowed for like almost four seasons of the importance of candy a$$ It literally lights up during the battle and then nothing it never gets brought up. And then the Castle vanishes at the end the post credits. Like this big build for nothing. As well as the underwater Trogg's didn't quite get a good conclusion with that. I also felt like there had some kind of set up for freckles that just didn't get a payout. As well as the ending of the battle , Bean literally had to sike herself up to permanently. Erase her mom from everything. And yet they just stabbed her with a crystal and settled for that. Also for five seasons of Bean ,elfo and lucy being the best of friends and family to each other, Literally all separated lucy in heaven, Bean takes off and doesn't say good bye to anybody. Like elfo was owed a goodbye atleast. Plus I felt that Bean didn't really care about anybody outside of Mora towards the end. The one positive I can take out of this is that they gave Una her moment in the spotlight, Like she was the star at the end she was more of a mother to Bean. And she actually genuinely loved Bean.

[@scockery]

I only recently finished watching the show. Yeah, the went off the deep end by the end. I thought the house symbols was Alva's rocket. I guess I blinked in the opening credits reveal. Why did the former high priestess want to die on the moon with Alva? Why did poor Jester get killed by Una? Why does Chaz get to control Steamland instead of a fate he deserved? No one could turn Merkimer back into a human? I was half-expecting the entire Disenchanment universe to be the worlds on Bender when he floated in space and talked to "God".

[@Akira00920]

Im not sure what happened honestly. Was 10 episodes not enough time? If not, then storytelling should be prioritized instead of getting lazy.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

It very much felt like they had more to cover than they had time to cover it. BUT, there was lots they could have either cut out or just not have introduced.

[@hokton8555]

i think they just stayed with their original plan for Season 5 and made it somehow end (quite lazy, they had the longest production time even despite the end of covid): 1. there are plots who go nowhere (Dagmar crowning herself, Satan being Luci's father, God getting killed, bean wanting to destroy dagmar & the magic) 2. there are mostly unneccary plots (the insane asylum, the heaven scene, multiple quite long battle scenes) 3. some things are just rushed (Freckles being Beans brother, Mop Girl being an orphan & half-elf, the whole brain thing) and no real reveals compared to season 4 (imo they just cut new hints out f the dialogue because there is no season 6) 4. while some endings are quite open (Mop Girl becoming the queen & Zog going into the woods, Dagmar being put in the cage), Bean just leaves and like Luci having an ending which are presented as final

[@shinypaintf588]

i watched it in total isolation, i didn't have netflix anymore so i missed when this season came out. i really liked it, didn't think too much about it, least favorite thing was that Luci brought back bean's gf and that was alright, but then why didn't he come back eh? it's like. we're already doing silly stuff, bring him back too

[@tubbywargamercz]

"...it’s fiction. There’s dragons in it. Move on." F***, how I hate actors and creators who don't value or even mildly understand fans. I liked Disenchantment a lot and though I wouldn't say I hate the finale, I do still kinda relate to what you said in the very begining of this video. Also, wasn't Leavo... left out completely? Is that a gag? You know LEAVO being LEFT out... not funny. Probably it was due to the cutting of 10 episodes worth of storytelling, but perhaps they just introduced too many plots that they couldn't handle eventually? Like "the very thing", trøgs, crones, secret society, øg curse, Satan's two forms, debt to hell, Alva, Freckles (that one hurt me the most I think), dopplegängers, Leavo, crown... the list goes on and on.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

It was definitely messy as a finale season, but I'm not sure if an extra season could have saved it. It's certainly possible that things would have made a lot more sense, but, they went into this KNOWING that there were only going to be 6 Parts, and I think they spread the story out way too much over Parts 3 and 4 to ever get it all to line back up by Part 6. But, sort of like the second season of The Promised Neverland, I feel like a lot could have been sacrificed to tell a better one-season story overall.

And now I am crying for all the plotholes even more. Also I would have liked to see Bean, Elfo and Luci doing more together. I actually liked mopgirl but she gets too little time and feels like they needed someone to be at beans place while bean is just focused on love.

I'm so onboard with everything that you mentioned that I'm sure we share a brain. It was an absolute CHORE to get through this last season but I'd noticed a dip in the writing in season 4 but it literally fell off a cliff in season 5. Your comment regarding a new show runner coming in and discarding the show bible were my thoughts exactly. So many off hand comments relating to things that dreamlanders should have no clue about were just immersion breaking. As for the plotholes, well, I'm just glad the show is over. Sunken cost fallacy truly is a thing plus the desire for answers, many of which remained unansweed is just annoying. Another show i'll never be revisiting

[@dominika0896]

does anybody know what they meant in the final opening: puppets watching squirel, derek aand crown, snarla increasing rum???

[@TheFangirlWatches]

I suspect that those were things that "could have been" but had to be cut for time.

[@fren111]

I saw 3 seasons (3° was curiosity)

[@MaureenMurphy_]

Loved the show I just didn’t understand it that much

[@gracekim25]

Oh so Netflix didn’t greenlit part 6? I admit I got confused by the moon but eh🤷‍♀️ I’m ok with the ending 😅

[@Parxering]

Wow um i had a COMPLEATLY diffrent reason why the last season sucked and really forgot about the other plot holes,the reason i aboslutley dispised season 5 is because 1 the characters that looked death in the eyes didnt die So look il start with bean She SHOULDOVE DIED SO MANY TIMES AND PLOT ARMOR THICKED EVERY DAMN TIME like i know bean cant die because shes kinda the main character but after like plot armor saveing her 3 times it got annoying like SHE SHOULD OF DIED FROM DROWNING 2 ENTIRE TIMES look the fist time it was ok mora saved her and its ok but THE SECOND THE DAMN SECOND DAGMAR COULD OF AND SHOULD OF JUST STABED HER OR CHOKED HER OR USED HER POWERS OR LITERALY ANYRHING,BUT FUCKING NO JUST TROWH HER IN THE WATER REAL SMART DAGMAR,you cant just use more the most annoying character to just give bean plot armor but thats for later,AND 2 FUCKING DAGMAR YES DAGMAR A QUEEN WITH POWERS A SMART WOMEN SOMEONE WHO CAN MANIPULATE ANYONE COULD OF KILLED BEAN 3 FUCKING TIMES THE FIRST WAS TRYING TO DROWN HER THEN SHE WAS UNCONCIOUS ON THE CASTEL WALL KNOCKED OUT VISIBLY NOT DEAD AND DAGMAR RIGHT NEXT TO HER,KILL HER?NOPE JUST GO INSIDE AND LET HER WAKE UP,THEN SHE HAD A FUCKING KNIFE TO HER THROAT AND SHE JUST STARTED RAMBLIMG ABOUT SOMETHING BUT OH GEE HERE COMES OONA TO SAVE THE DAY AND SHE JUST SLICES HER HEAD,GOOD PLAY THERE DAGMAR JUST DONT STAB HER YEAH JUST START TALKING SOME ABSOLUTE SHIT, LIKE BRO YOU CANT MAKE THIS UP,but yeah no she almost drowned 2 times so and dagmar almost killed her another 3 so that makes 4 yeah 4 times thats it right no more just 4 is good yep lets stop there,oh well guess what she just no in the fighting scene where the skellys were(dont remeber)the black guards DID JACK SHIT LIKE BRO BEAN WAS JUST COMBOING THERE ASSES YOU CAN NOT MAKE THIS UP THEY WERE BASICLY JUST LOOKING AT HER LIKE 7 JAKED DUDES IN FULL ARMOR SWORDS AND CHAINMAIL CANT BEAT A FUCKING SINGLE WOMAN WITH NO ARMOR BOO HOO SHE HAD POWERS SHE BEARLY USED THEM AND LIKE BRO,now i think thats enough about bean not dieing lets go to dagmar Kinda short but she died to a FUCKING CRYSTAL SHE HAD AROUNG A ENTIRE MILLENIA TO MOVE 1 SINGLE FUCKING FOOT TO THE LEFT BUT NOPE LETS JUST LOOK AT IT AND SAY OH NO OH NO WHAT WILL I DO IN THIS SITUATION MAYBE MOVE FROM THE FUCKING CRYSTAL now for elfo this is also but like come on man in the same scene where she could of cut beans throat dagmar shot elfo 2 times with the powers and whatever but then she says “looks like all your little friends are gone “impling she wanted to kill elfo,THEN WHY THE ABSOLUTE HEAVEN AND HELL FUCK DOSE SHE ONLY SHOOT HIM TWICE LIKE ALL SHE DID WAS GIVE HIM A NOSEBLEED CANT SHE JUST STRIKE HIM LIKE 3 MORE TIMES TO MAKE SURE,but whatever whatever plot armor,well after dagmar gets stupidly get stuck by a crystal she gets a hold of elfo and she still wants to kill him and she has a good grip of him so if i was dagmar,INSTEAD OF JUST LOOKING AT HIM ID BE BITEING HIM SCRATCHING PUNCHING EVEN SWINGING HIM AROUND BUT NOPE SHE JUST GETS BIT I SWEAR PLOT ARMOR IS GETTING THICK,but i think thats enought of that lets move on to the next reason why season 5 sucked 2 the ending was trash yeah she coved it already but il make a whole list on mora later now did bean really have to go with mora like come on guys the series went from a teen girl doin stuff drunkenly with her friends and uncovering secrets n stuff to a annoying main character that got ruined just because on more il get on that later,but why did bean have to get it with more like id rather have her do it with zog then fucking mora and SHES SO FUCKING ANNOYING WITH MORAS DEATH WAWA THIS WAWA THAT I FUCKING GET IT DISENCHANTMENT SHES SAD AND SHE WASENT EVEN THAT SAD LUCI DIED SHE KINDA JUST FORGOT ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF MORA SHED CRY FOR A GF SHE KNOWS FOR like i dunno 2 months INSTEAD OF A FRIEND SHE KNEW FOR LIKE A MAYBE A YEAR THEY DID EVERYTHING TOGETHER WITH ELFO TOO but now lets get to the fucking wish omg bruh 3 the fucking wish no just no luci would fucking never do that wish i just know it hes not that type of guy just no il make this short but the only reason luci died and god died was just so mora would get back like bruh they def pulled that shit out of there ass 4 the second most annoying character(first is season 5 bean) I swear ALL MORA DID WAS THICKEN THE 40 INCH BULLETPROOF TUGSTEN STEEL MILITARY GRADE PLOT ARMOR BEAN HAD NO JUST SAVED HER TWICE AND ANOTHER REASON MORA WAS ADDED WAS TO SHOW “hey guys look we support the lgbtq community yeah were so cool look we added mora aha”now look i dont like the lgb but in this situation even if i did id still be mad,like there are 3 other actualy good shows that i enjoyed that the lgb community ruined for me and the best part about season 5 was mora getting destroyed and yeah she also sounds so god damn annoying i just wanna puch her and bean and mora had sex 3 fucking times in the show like come on thats no fun your just overdoin the “were cool because we support lgb” thing like have sex once and leave it there 5 i had to literaly force myself to watch season 5 Kinda dont need to explain this but the season 5 epesodes were so garbage i had to force myself to watch,why? I love this show and i think it has great potencial and good characters but i just watched it because i wanted to see the endings and such And finnaly 6 how do you fuck up this royaly bad on makeing a show like someone impersonate the shows creator and made the last season?who fucking took charce taylor swift?fucking kris tyson?WHO FUCKING MESSED UP THIS BAD I WONT BELEVE THE GUY WHO MADE THE SEASON 1 2 3 AND 4 MADE 5 BECAUSE SOMEONE IS DEF TOOK CHAGE INSTED OF THE CREATOR This took me so long

[@TheMAM]

Recently found your channel! Sorry about your misfortunes as of late, but I hope to see more great content like this!

[@justcus]

part 4 was already all over the place with terrible pacing and part 5 really just shit the bed. i was skeptical of it being wrapped up well when i initially found out part 5 was the finale. they built up all this lore and hinted and teased it all throughout the show only to throwaway 90% of it in the end with no explanation. this was one of my favorite shows of all time and now it has left a sour taste in my mouth. they assassinated beans character in part 5 by making her care about mora at the expense of her friends and family, which is nothing like her. she’s always cared so much for elfo and luci but barely blinked when she found out luci died for good and when elfo was presumably left dead in the collapsing cavern. they wrote her into this heartless, selfish and immature terrible friend. all for who? mora? the most flat character out of them all. she’s incredibly boring and irrelevant. when she died i didn’t even care because she’s such a shoe horned in character that never even made sense. they also did a super half assed job of trying to explain what happened the first time her and bean went to mermaid island and bean woke up back by the crashed boat. “oh a mermaid must have brought me back there cuz they hate humans”. that in and of itself is a plot hole because they were clearly gone for a full day, yet elfo comes back in what was clearly the same day saying “i asked but no one wanted to help”. it’s like the writers didn’t even watch their own show. don’t even get me started on how dirty they did luci in the end. i would have been happier if bean had died for good instead of him. she could be in hell with mora. she deserved that by the way she had been so obsessively selfish because of her. the lazy writing of including mora ruined bean’s whole character and the entire ending as a result. i would have settled with god’s wish after luci brought back mora to be sending luci back and giving him a new body. that would have been a much more proper and happy ending. she also ran away from her own wedding? no, it was HER wedding this time, not one she’s forced into. she WANTED it this time. so why the hell did she run away? never mind that, the real issue is she couldn’t even say goodbye to elfo. whether she can visit dreamland or not, it’s still a shitty friend thing to do. how hard is it to just say goodbye to their face? elfo wasn’t even upset that she left just that he didn’t get a proper goodbye. again, bean’s character assassination at the hands of boring ass mora turning her into this horrible, selfish friend. it’s nothing like her. not to mention bean barely mourns luci even after everything is settled. it just feels like a slap in the face to luci and the viewers. the whole show was always centered around bean, luci and elfo. it was the unlikely trio that went on adventures and tried to stop bad guys and protect each other. it would only be fitting for the show to wrap with the three of them together in the end. it should have been them having a drink at luci’s tavern before bean and mora go off to mermaid island for their honeymoon and elfo returns to the castle to be in the throne with miri. luci has his tavern and shenanigans that he enjoys. though, it really felt like they didn’t know what to do with luci. everyone else gets coupled up except luci, one of the main three characters. it isn’t like he’s never had romantic interest either. he liked kissy and was even hurt when she broke up with him. they could have given him a proper love interest since they went with the “coupled up” ending. it makes me even more upset realizing how little thought they gave to his conclusion. oh, and they just killed the jester for no reason in the end? are you kidding me? such a fun show with great narrative and character development in the first 3 parts and then by the 5th one they shit all over it. it’s not disenchantment. it’s disappointment.

[@apocaloso]

Thanks for this analysis. Really precise and deep. So disappointed with the last season, and you pointed out most of the things that I think they didn't manage to make it work. I feel like they needed that season six to tell the story they wanted to. Netflix kinda ruined the show. Hope to ear more from the creators in the future.

[@TheFangirlWatches]

I really hope that the creatives who worked on this show are at a panel soon and answer some fan questions about how this last season fell apart. People were strongly against this show from the start, and I advocated so hard for people to give it a chance because it was hysterical with so many mysteries looming, and then I got a dozen or more texts and calls after Part 5 of people upset with me for getting them emotionally invested in this mess.

[@saoirsehehe8390]

disenchantment was such a good series. the ending completely ruined it. i think they should’ve just brought back mora another way, keep luci, and then they all live together in dreamland. personally i think bean and moras relationship was a little out of no where because bean was kind of over having a love interest at that point, and before she had something going on with elfo, which literally went no where. i think they should’ve either given their relationship more time to develop or just scrap moras entire story because then they could’ve had more time to develop actual importance to the plot, like more with dagmar and zogs family history. at first i loved bean x mora but now, after that ending, it’s just not it. i feel extremely unsatisfied and disappointed with the amount of plot holes and just the bad ending in general. like why would bean abandon her best friend for someone who she spent a total of maybe a week with? that whole ending was just.. bad.

[@nochipmunks8692]

I just finished it , what a horrible waste of time/mental effort to understand what's really going on Thanks for pointing out most of the plot holes , because i think there are waaaay many holes in this horrible disfunny show

[@lespicymaltod537]

I had some gripes with the show, but I always gave it the benefit of the doubt, but as you blatantly laid out all of the plot holes I just became more bitter towards it. The writers just explained them by the "guy that gets killed with a flaming arrow" and it is so dissatisfying. But I still like the show, even though it's not perfect it's anothet western adult animated comedy series with a beautiful art style and I just wish writers and show runners'll choose animation to tell impactful stories. In the end the biggest crime of Disenchantment is leaving you with wanting more.

[@xclusivewalker2176]

Good morning beautiful I’m late to the party just saw whole series there’s so much secret stuff being shown to be question like how steamland basically advanced civilization hints we would call aliens today the church having aliens tech possibly trying to reverse engineer to even get to steamland notice they had to travel through rice and snow hints pointing at advanced civilizations past Antarctic ice walls and lots me depending ur reason for watch it’s says a lot even with horrible ending lol good job love that’s just my take

Lazy writing and like they just said "Screw it, we will wrap it up and focus on Futurama." Sorry to hear about your car.

[@Shouten707]

Finally, an honest review that isn't just hyping this season for more clicks. Season 5 was so horrible, and so devoid of humor, it genuinely feels like Netflix tried seeing if they could get away with AI generated scripts.

[@ezdave2929]

a wizard did it. I thought you liked cartoons.

[@diviningdragon]

I wasn't watching the series too closely, but a lot of things felt 'off' when it wrapped. I theorize that there was a rush to finish. Sometimes, show runners create a plethora of 'set-ups' that they can't comfortably resolve because the series bible didn't specify all the specific beats and developments for characters and plots. By the way, this should be called 'planning.' (There was obviously a lack in this series.) This is made all the more difficult if a show is cancelled prematurely and the writers must resolve things faster than the available screen time allows. It can happen with things such as "The X-Files" kind of 'lucking' into a mythology, which became more convoluted over time since they didn't map out a clear resolution with a distinct end point. It became too complicated to resolve. However, with Disenchanted, there does feel like a rush to a resolution which created so many plot holes and fallacies, that it spoiled my ability to return to that universe. I think the writers even understood their errors when the series heckler, always killed with a flaming arrow, acknowledges this before being killed again with a brick. It seems the writers genuinely dropped the brick in more than one way.

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

I finally watched it (after a long binge watch of the earlier seasons) and I loved every second of it! Yeah, I wish there was more Freckles and a bit more to the Trogg storyline (especially whatever the deal with the Sea Troggs is), but I don't mind that we are left with some mysteries in a show like this. And apparently Netflix trimmed the episode or season counts down (which explains a lot about how rushed it was), but at least it wasn't outright canceled on a cliffhanger like half of Netflix' shows are (poor Dark Crystal: AoR). The Bean vs Dagmar battles were amazing, especially the beautiful animation (and in general, the animation of the whole show is just eye candy). Having had to deal with my own narcissistic, controlling mother, the whole thing was very cathartic. And everyone really did get what they deserved in the end, except maybe the poor Jester. I actually got teary during the last 10 minutes, I really love these crazy characters.

[@Sam-kx6xk]

Great vid

[@zirconviper]

Been working on a Disenchantment fan fic spiced with Norse Mythology and yes, Luci does come back in it. Wouldn't be Disenchantment without Luci. Not only that, I introduce my own character to Bean's crew. A dark elf from Svartalfheim I named Z'Varr. He wears a lot of black, is dark blue with red eyes and is armed with a mallet. The name of my fan fic is Disenchantment: Svartalfheim. Plan on playing a lot of Black Widow songs in my fan fic as well.

I think the problem is that they ran out of time. The show had to be ended. Hence so many of these unexplored plot lines.
