Bullshit most people say S2 is the generic one that removes the sandbox aspect of the S1 episodes.
Mountain King + S3 is way better by following more of a structure you'd expect out of an adventure show and not a slice of life without feeling overly generic like S2
The problem with the writers at Netflix + Luke Pearson himself is that he didn't get any professional experience in writing and thus can't structure a story worth a shit.
S3 should have happened exclusively in the fairy town and the finale's ending should have had more of a definitive ending by killing the final boss without any room for the comics to develop on.
Luke Pearson takes a lot of inspiration from Moomin Valley, but doesn't have the experience to fully realize how to go about it or even realize what he's working with.
The show constantly has these melancholic scenes that help it set apart from other cartoons but they're far far inbetween and never quite reach what they're supposed to just like Steven Universe's soundtrack and world design they evoke a much better show and a different direction than is actually presented.
S3 is great cause it turns David from Ron Weasley from the movies into Ron Weasley from the books which feels a lot more like his big brothers.
I also enjoyed Mountain King + the finale of S3 for basically telling David & Frida to fuck off cause they're lesser than secondary characters that only got shoved into Netflix cause Netflix writers can't write worth a shit and don't know their place where a main character is separated from a secondary character and family > friends. Netflix writers are too stupid and distasteful to ever understand such concepts after all the Captain Planet propaganda they got fed as children. Except ye know Captain Planet had 0.001% the best of the best come aboard, not just any shmuck like Frida "I can't clean my own fucking room so I'll throw a nigger fit". I genuinely thought I accidentally watched Steven Universe there for a second.
