The obligatory "caos part 4 was a mess" rant:

I already said it but once again: romanticizing suicide

Eldritch terrors capable of destroying the universe and throwing everything into madness vs one narcissistic 16 year old

This season quickly turned into monster of the week show

Things happen and then have no consequences

Firstly choosing the maiden, mother and crone in the begining and then doing nothing with it (and I'm still mad about them worshipping hecate after killing circe- her literal daughter)

Secondly Marie giving Zelda the thingie to call her (him? them? I really don't want to misgender them but also have no idea what we were supposed to take from the reveal scene so...) But when Sabrina died Zelda didn't even try to summon Marie? Who is a literal death god? Okay then

The writers really don't know what to do with lilith huh? At first I had thought that she was being smart and lying to lucifer but nope she really killed and cooked the baby. Why? If you didn't want to have a plot with her being a mother (which would be kinda interesting since she's supposed to be the mother of demons) you shouldn't have written the plot with her being pregnent with her abuser! And then her going mad and hearing the baby crying? Boring, seen that plot a million times before. I have no clue what happened in the end. Is the monkey statue possessed by the ghost of Adam ?? No idea, writters clearly thought that watching a band badly cover queen songs was more important

Who rules hell now? If lilith then good for her (though last time that happened she wasn't accepted as queen by hell so...)

Since when death has any consequences in the sabrina universe? They have resurrection pit in their garden. They brought hilda back last season. Why not try and bring sabrina back?

Everyone in greendale has magical powers apparently. Remember when Theo could see ghosts? The writers sure as hell don't.

Using a dead octopus that was possesed by an Eldritch terror as a breathing mask

Stupid/awful things sabrina did: faking a supernatural emergency, meeting her other self after being expressly told it would have catastrophic consequences, trying to make a human out of wax to be a perfect boyfriend, giving the uninvited hope and trapping him (ok maybe she had to but I still felt really bad for him)

Did hell!sabrina die because of teeny tiny cuts on her face? Having an octopus in her stomach was fine but small cuts? Death

I hate it when characters laudly proclaim that they're "strong, proud feminists" and then do nothing to show it

Mary joins a cult that worships terrors that will destroy the world and still wears a cross (also why is she on board with anything that faustus says?)

Just bad. It was really bad.

“River Phoenix was often mocked in his day. As the vegan environmentally aware actor who made careful film choices based on his personal politics, he was seen as a little wacko, an eccentric still suffering the psychological effects of growing up in the cult, Children of God. Now he seems ahead of his time. Not only that, an exemplary figure to be revered more than ever, both for his film work and his messages. […] He remains an inspiration for those of us looking for a new masculinity. This wasn’t a man set out to compromise what was in his heart and mind to fulfil any expectations of what a young man must be” — “River Phoenix remains the antidote to Toxic Masculinity”, The Book of Man, Oct 2018
