Okay here it is...
I've thought it over, I've ranted to my coworkers, I've rewatched the last 8 minutes three times in dismay. Here's my thoughts...
**Spoilers Alert**
This is the end of the Kim Possible series, after four seasons, each with their given ups and downs, this is it? Well, it sucks. No, it's not just the horribly rushed finale battle or even the sappy K/R ending. My main issue is bigger than that. It's the potential they had with this, the finale of one of their(Disney) most decent shows since the 90s and what do they do with it? Come on it's not a hard question. That's right, they fuck it up.
First off I thought the show was called 'Kim Possible', you know, about the 'girl who could do anything' yet all I saw here was the 'Ron' show with Kim getting knocked out as the battle's draws to a close leaving monkey boy to deal the big blow that saves them all. What the hell is that? Not to mention the many times throughout the episode(s) where he saves her rather than the vise versa. Since when does she need this much aide? Pathetic.
Though backing off from this issue for a moment I want to focus on something that really got on my nerves. Pointless pairings. Since when does Warmonga need a partner? If this character was there when she came to Earth the first time, fine, but this was just stupid. She didn't need help. For those who forgot she's damn near unbeatable. Sure when she was last on Earth the base got destroyed but she was still ready for a fight and if not for her leaving on her own they would have been done for. So all I want to know is why is she such a pansy now? When Drakken attacks with the flowers is it her tearing herself out of the tangle and whomping KP right off the bat? Nope, tis her new male counterpart with her swooning about the trophy he's giving her. Blah. Hate it. NEXT.
Felix & Zita. WTF?! It's not that I dislike it, it's more it does NOTHING for the story here. What's more where's the love for Monique? A character who's had far more airtime than both wheels and moviegirl combined. Though seeing as this is a rant against these pointless matches let's look at another one they wasted our time with... Junior & Bonnie in not just one, but two scenes. They give us a super quick and sped up final battle yet leave plenty of time with these couples? What the fuck. Oh and don't get me started on that hint of Drakken/Shego. Nothing can get more "sick and wrong" than that.
With that thought I come to the final battle. Monkey powers save the day?! No matter what that old fart says no way in hell did sensei see this whole alien thing coming so to act as though this was some big 'destiny' of the monkey powers thing was beyond stupid. Also did anyone working on this fail to notice how 'scary' and 'downright crazy' they made Ron look when fighting, along with letting him get away with killing off the aliens without so much as a glance at the morality of it? I mean they're only people from another planet who cares if we kill them right? We've only managed to subdue everyother person trying to take over the planet without killing but let's let that go this one time. Heh... :(
Blah...
Now seeing as it's 4am and I have work later this morning and sleep should come sometime between the two let me finish off with the very end. The dumbass corny summer beach BBQ party & cheesy song that beat the dead dog they'd made this with a rusty crowbar. Forgive the imagery. After a whole episode(s) of buildup about the anxiety of the 'end/beginning' of things and the end is them driving/flying off together. No further thought of all those acceptence letters Kimmie had been getting and the lack of the same for Ron? No more thought on how because of this it's highly likely the two will be separated? Bitches. It's a coup-out ending. Fucking Disney bitches.
On a lighter note the few things I did enjoy: Dr. P mentioning writing fanfiction, Shego's mad fighting skills(taking down an alien fighting thingie that a tank had trouble handling = badass), and Dr. D's flowerpower. That is all. I'm going to bed now to dream of happier things.
