We did get Isla Sorna there, and more Goldblum, and a little more Injen set up. I just wish the “dinos on the mainland” plot was leaned into fully in the second one, rather than a whole reboot trilogy just to get there.
There’s also the matter of me never reading the books so idk how that plays into sequel plot
While I agree with this for the first 3 seasons, I felt like season 4 kind of dropped the ball and was a bit of a letdown. I also think part of the reason it’s not as popular nowadays is due to the almost 3-year gap between seasons 3 and 4 and that season 4 was not received well by fans. I hope season 5 in July can somewhat right the ship, but who really knows if it will or not
I can understand why you felt that way about S04, but TBH, I genuinely enjoyed it.
The jokes were a bit jarring at times, no doubt.
But overall, I think it was as good as Season 2 was, at least.
As for the show’s quality being improved in the upcoming season, I’m pretty confident that S05 will be much better.
As you mentioned, the first three seasons were great, but the first one was a bit rough. (it’s mostly had the same issues as s04, but it was worse IMO… ) Now, comparing S01 to the following two seasons, you can tell that the difference in quality between them was significant.
BTW to prove my point even more: a few months ago, Aaron Ehasz said in an interview that they heard the feedback and will keep listening to them in the future. He also mentioned that, from now on, they will focus on toning down the humor and that the story will get more mature and darker as the plot progresses.
So, I think everything will be fine here. 
Now that is a hot take if I ever heard one.
across the spider-verse was mid
Rise of The Beasts was epic, and DOTM was bad.
ROTB was a messy movie that was unsure of what it wanted to be
The Clone Wars is overrated as a whole, but has many good episodes and arcs on their own.
I’ve got plenty more strange opinions about that show if you’d like…
Yes please
Toby was a good character and I like him a significant amount more than Michael.
Michael’s “that’s what she said” was barely funny once and then it got boring and stupid every time after that.
I think Ryan the temp was a pointless part and just wasted time.
Kevin is not funny because he’s stupid, it’s pathetic and uncomfortable to watch.
Stanley is funnier than Dwight.
Not sure if those are all widespread opinions but a certain office-obsessed individual I know says I’m uncultured for feeling this way.
Honestly, I agree. I’ve seen numerous episodes in my university, and they all strike me as relying heavily on catchphrases, running gags, and nostalgia. It seems that that’s what gets most people into it now, the nostalgia for back when The Office was the top sitcom on public television.
Also, it has many jokes that aged poorly, (which I won’t mention because they are definitely not boards friendly), and that for me is something that ruins the show for me. To rely on crude humor to any large degree rather ruins any show, because it shows that the directors want the audience to be merely stimulated to watch, not stimulated to think about what they’re watching.
And I will stop there. I probably ran too long in this comment.
A new day, with a set of new unpopular opinions:
The Jurassic World trilogy was not as terrible as most JP fans and critics tend to make it, but it did have a lot of missed potential and could’ve been much better overall. (Especially Dominion.)
Season 4 of TDP (The dragon prince) was also pretty good for what it was, and most of its critics were way too harsh on it.
(It certainly had some issues, but it was far from being as bad as people made it look.)
The Star Wars prequels are still bad films, and the sequels are much better than those regarding acting, visual effects, and writing.
(Except for sound design and overarching story themes, the Prequels still hold up in those fields, NGL.)
While Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel are great indie animated shows, they’re vastly overrated in many ways.
(e.g., Murder Drones by Glitch Studio and Lackadaisy are way better than them, IMO.)
preach 
Then again, I haven’t seen Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel so my only impressions of those two are secondhand.
Glad to see someone else who is into those! 
As for HB and HH, I can recommend them to you, but here is a little summary about them:
Well, without spoiling too much, Both Helluva and Hazbin have a ton of great stuff in them, especially the character’s development and the drama. However, they tend to push the humor way too much and often commit the same mistakes as other adult comedies on cable channels usually do.
I finally started watching Dune and Christ does it just drag on and on like nobody’s business. I stopped watching 30 minutes in becuase it’s all talking and half the time the music is so loud I couldn’t even understand what they were saying.
I gotta agree with you. I’m happy for Dune fans to get a movie that’s very accurate to the source material but it’s so darn boring most of the time
That’s the only part that is rather annoying in the book as well. The author wrote a bunch of background for the main plot, but it wound up as a series of appendices in the back of the book rather than being explained during the story.
Thor: Love and Thunder is a pretty good movie, and though it is goofy and silly in moments, the humor actually adds to the depth of the grief that surrounds the film’s true emotional themes. I could talk for a while on this one. I know a lot of people dislike it and that’s fine, but I think there is something really powerful in it that gets overlooked way too quickly by viewers.
