Part of me is trying to think this is some elaborate joke or twist he's building up to. I mean, it was shot so creepily, like he had a fight with a psychotic hallucination and had to be dragged and beaten down into going back to the Critic. It wasn't triumphant, it was bitter and reluctant and defeated. Maybe ...
... but no, I think this is for real, and it hurts, because why kill off the Demo Reel team so cruelly, why retcon the Critic's sacrifice, why make it all a joke just to get him back as the Critic when they could have done a million different things instead? Kept Demo Reel open as an option for the future, had the Plot Hole spit the Critic out or have him say "I can do an episode every other week, but the rest of the time I need to spend as the Plot Hole" or something? WHY?!
It hurts. I feel betrayed and confused and angry and upset and sad. I'm worried about the new NC episodes, will I enjoy them, can I enjoy them after this big retcon, can I ever trust this guy again?
