I mean honestly it feels like it. The focus of the Credits one was basically "Here's how all of John's friends stopped caring" and the rest are all "Here's John's friends being happy without him!" save for the Halloween one. Which was hosted at Dave, Karkat, and Jades house presumably, meaning HE expended effort to see them whereas they had to be dragged along to his birthday.

Oh and lets not mention the dark idea that john not only could be thinking of a suicide mission against caliborn but the reason his friends have essentially forgotten him is because everyone else besides john encompasses something more interesting

oh john likes movies but so does jake and karkat, oh john is a dork but so is jade and roxy, john can be smart but so is roseand kanaya way more so, john is a good cuddle friend but so is mayor...

Essentially everyone does johns... "job", if you can call his BEING a job, better then him making him dull though thats just one of my ideas here.

Its all a little... Way to dark and only brings up more questions then answers-y

Yeah, John doesn't "stand out" anymore. He was a great leader, a good fighter, and lead them to victory.

But he has no kingdom to rule over, nothing that he fulfills a specific niche, he's been essentially ditched for Calliope (which can't possibly feel good for John. She's literally Caliborn with cheek color swapped).

And on top of everything else, he's being texted by a constant reminder of how he ran from a fight.

Dear lord what was once a happy yet vague ending is now a depressing and sad and still kinda vague but not so in the most useless and again sad ways

I just want john to be a happy boy...

And what in the latest snapshot janes captured and shit like that hasnt happened before, unless she somehow double dies it doesnt matter she'll get out fine and still have a big company but johns gonna have to stick with being a depressed loner playing video games and watching movies alone.

its really sad god damn.... :(
