For once, I agree this was needed. Here it comes out of nowhere, I mean just a mention in the early episodes instead of all those useless endless discussions... So much discussion and they still achieved to miss that.
But even with that it would have been stupid. He just spent 2 years with a friend that really cares about him. Does that count for nothing. Man, I had hope at the beginning of cour 2, because the pacing was better, but now it's the scenario that dives. The bad guy become good while good guy becomes bad trope is so bad.
With recap episode, that I thought was not a thing anymore last week, and such a bad developpment this week, I feel this show drift more and more toward the unintesting. Up until now, I always felt there was a good story under all the defaults. Now I slowly begin to feel it's not the case anymore.

In the end, when I read the threads, I feel like many problems of the show comes from the adaptation team. They are bad, I hope they'll never get another show to adapt... Sure I feel like the source material is not that great, but still decent, and that Alicization could have been an enjoyable ride if well done. But right now I'm just bored by the out of nowhere developpment, the pacing of the first part, the horrible decisions in term of direction of the story and the even more horrible way they present them.

I understand, and think that’s really sad and unfair. However, it wasn’t he who spent 2 years inside a killing game. The thing is that people who have weak willpower are the ones I personally hate the most, both in anime and in rl.
