Regular Show S8 Episode 27-28 Reaction

I’m in the exact same boat as you.I want to love the ending, but I just can’t because of how Mordecai’s character was wrapped up.  A lot of people blame mordecai for his actions or CJ’s when she saw them at the chopper flight party. But I blame bad writing and characterization rather than the actual characters themselves. The writing felt so contrived and flimsy the way the latter half of season 6 played out. And apparently the writers had a hard time figuring out how to break them up. But maybe that was a sign that they shouldn’t break them up in the first place nor would it be organic or in character for that to happen. Wouldn’t it have been refreshing to see mordecai grow out of his fear of everything being awkward since he was in a stronger and longer relationship with CJ? But I guess the writers had other ideas for very flimsy reasons. Mordecai suddenly kissing Margaret and the forced repeated interactions he had with her felt so out of character and forced. And Margaret making everything worse by saying she has feelings. And the wedding was the straw that broke the camel’s back and it was devastating and detrimental to the character and I don’t think Mordecai’s character really recovered after that terrible piece of writing. And his growth felt very stunted and then tacked on at the last minute. When I think it would’ve been cooler to see both him and rigby develop and grow together and part of that includes having a stronger romantic relationship with their partners who are also friends with each other. And CJ freaking out at the chopper party was also terrible writing for her character and didn’t make sense and just felt like the show trying to tack on more reasons why they should break up through contrivances. Even though when CJ saw mordecai and Margaret together last time, she just left the party. And instead of trying to kill her when she saw them again while driving, she honked the horn and left. She didn’t try to kill anyone but now she does because we need the story to go that way even if it doesn’t make any sense for the characters. But this time she’ll almost kill them even if it’s detrimental for her character. If you really wanted to close the book on the Margaret thing, that doesn’t mean it has to destroy the great status quo we had in the series. Mordecai, CJ, Rigby, and Eileen had great chemistry as friends and couples. And getting to see mordecai and rigby grow and bond over their improved love life instead of rigby hiding it would have been a great dynamic. And CJ could’ve been in the space season and it wouldn’t have changed the plot and you just replace that last minute wife mordecai has with her instead. The pieces were all there and I think it would have been more organic and natural to take the characters there instead of sabotaging their relationship and booting CJ from the show after she had developed such a connection to Mordecai, Eileen, and to the audience. And essentially fill in her role with Margaret as a friend because we need to regurgitate that character even though it would have been much better to give Margaret better closure that doesn’t involve cj’s relationship falling apart.  Sorry for the rant
