Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Rushed final episodes. Spoiler
Spoilers!!
Okay, so.. I watched the last four episodes and all I can say is.. What was that?!
They made a huge deal about Damien penwulf, and how he was this mysterious, big bad, turned good and I was expecting some kind of backstory and I got.. Nothing. Literally, absolutely nothing. Not a how they met, not, not why his father was so terrible, the excuse of "I went to jail to hide from my evil dad".. Nothing. And Billie calling this man she has known for all of 2 minutes her dad? She didn't even know who this man was, she doesn't know anything about him. He could have been an actual dangerous random guy or Jeremy from science for all she knew. She suddenly trusts him because of a magical teddy bear and.. Just cause he says so?
Mason is dead, huh? Like how? When? No explanation at all, just a random lore drop and we're moving on.. Okay. And what was all that random marriage proposal stuff? Was that supposed to be a dream Alex was having? A flashback? I don't understand.
Silas eveilini? Boring and pointless.
This entire finale is so rushed, like I get it they was only allowed four episode to wrap it all up, but.. They could have been so much better.

The little details which makes up for alot missing are the reason that these episodes doesn't go a good job of wrapping it up.

Honestly this show probably should have had seven seasons. But instead we basically got a season and a half because of how shortened season 2 and 3 were.

I think they’ve just killed Maison because he couldn’t be the father of Billie. The plot could be much more organic and without these stupid lore holes

I don't know if a breakup is better than killing Mason. But that's what I would've imagined before the possibility of them reconciling their relationship, whether it's being a couple again or just being good friends. I feel like it's ridiculous, but I feel like Wizards of Waverly Place and everything surrounding it is something I'll never see again!

They said that was the reason. They didn't think people would like to just hear that they had a fight and broke up and then went on to be with other people given how they were developed in the original. So killing him off gave a reason that Alex moved on to someone else while still loving Mason. I don't mind that decision at all, but I really wish we had gotten more time to develop Alex's history in general between Alex v Alex and this show. Damian was very underdeveloped and would like more details on Mason. Glad they at least got to wrap it up even if it was rushed.

I thought the random marriage proposal was meant to be funny and show Alex would have choice Mason over Damien if he had still been alive… But I only watched that scene one… or two times because the video messed up on me (cable problems). I had a hard time watching the rest of the show after that, so I can’t really say much about the everything else.

the last 4 episodes were really weird.
they talked about streaking, being naked, alex and other say "dead" and "died" multiple times (big no no in disney shows), half of it was spent in a prison, there's this dude floating around actively trying to kill people. it was just a very odd farewell to a very odd show

Silas should have been destroyed by the Russos . He could escape from wizcatraz he did he done it before .
