Let's be honest. MYM being on Netflix was a mistake. The fact Netflix is slow to add episodes for any shows I watch is infuriating enough but they decided MYM has to have these nonsensical patterns for the seasons. Season 1? A 1hr special. Season 2? 8 normal-length episodes. Season 3? A 1hr special. Season 4? 7 normal-length episodes.
The specials counting towards the actual season rather than being separate from it is one thing but having an entire season just be 1 whole special that's about 2 or 3 normal episodes in length is just stupid. It's a terrible structure and should be more concise. 13 episodes or more per season I think is good enough instead.
The TYT animation is only very decent in that it doesn't have as much animation errors. Not even mentioning the lazy artstyle clearly ripped off of Steven Universe's artstyle, many animations because of the artsyle and the way they have characters move just make it look weird at times. Especially when there's any type of dynamic movement from the characters. There's honestly no reason to have these weird movements or deviate from the more successful (and perfectly fine) G4 artstyle. I always expected a 2D G5 to be more like G4's artsyle but more updated and a bit more detailed, but they nuke it for something lazy and uninspired.
Not to mention a lot of the cast hardly resemble their 3d selves, especially Izzy and Pipp. I remember when Izzy had poofy hair and Pipp had orange hooves...
I should also mention, relying on TYT to tell story defeats the whole purpose of TYT. It's clearly meant to be a less story-driven version on the side to tide people off until the new plot-driven episodes release. Hence the short runtime of 5 minutes. If they LEGITIMATELY think having the main plot driven by a series of 5 minute shorts, it's just going to have Chargeman Ken syndrome. 5 minutes is not enough time to drive a plot.
