Having just binged the whole series, I will say that Volume 3 is the best considering how much they managed to pack into it and how well the Fall of Beacon was done. However, just because the show fundamentally changed in scope after that in a way that is slower does not make it bad (especially considering how little happened in V1-2, but the show was apples to oranges back then and people liked it for different reasons).

The show didn't set up the events of V4 or 5 until it got there. It only set up the events up until the Fall of Beacon, so when it finally came time to do things after the Fall, more things needed to be set up. And set-up is sloooowww.

I don't know what you have against Ilia exactly, but the show wouldn't have dedicated so much screentime and character development to oust her with a snap of Thanos' fingers. Just like that. Ilia and Raven were the best things to happen to V5, and without their control over the plot, literally nothing would have happened.

I ask that this thread either gets back on track with discussion related to the original post or no further replies be made.
