At first glance you may think this is an ayaotd season as it has the general premise, a group of kids tell stories to scare each other. However in this season we seem to have jumped a great deal of time into the future, compared to season 1 (which doesn't really make sense) and the new kids say and do a lot of weird stuff that makes very little sense or never returns later in the show (i.e okay boomer, etc.)
The cast is completely different and for some reason seems even younger than the cast in Season 1.
What's missing? Well everything that makes ayaotd, the campfire, the storytelling, a proper initiation (for the youngest kid), there's just nothing really scary about this season other than the shadow man and he's really goofy looking.
In this season everyone seems to be rather slow, doing everything wrong, never really listening to what people tell them to do or not to do to save their lives and pretty much taking the slowest route to success.
Along the way there's various instances that don't really add up and yea i know it's a kids series but season 1 was not like that at all. Plus the main character is a pouty cry baby and i just can't stand to watch him lol
Season 1 had a much creepier vibe and was more believable in the sense it could actually happen and the scare factor was up there. Season 2 was a lot of screaming, shining flashlights and running around doing random stuff.
Cinematography wise, there were a few nice shots here and there but drowned by the endless and nonsensical actions of the characters.
The last episodes ending was just way too happy go lucky for ayaotd, like everything worked out for everyone and they all got what they wanted, then they all happily skipped through the woods with flashlights, when that defeats the whole experience lol
In short, it's not really an ayaotd series, it wants to be but it feels like a fan made this and i just can't like it, as much as i want to.
