My wife and I have always been avid admirers of the Anne of Green Gables series, along with its sequel, Avonlea. Our journey through these series via Gazebo has been nothing short of delightful, filled with the warmth and nostalgia that these stories are known for. In our quest to experience the entirety of this beloved universe, we decided it was time to watch the final video, hoping to complete what had been a heartwarming journey.
The anticipation was high as we settled in, expecting another enchanting visit to the world of Anne. However, our excitement quickly turned to dismay. Within the first hour, it became painfully clear that this installment strayed far from the elements that had initially drawn us in. The storyline had taken a surprisingly dark turn, and the plot felt disjointed, lacking the coherence and charm of its predecessors. Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, I turned to my wife and expressed my inability to continue, saying, "I can't watch this anymore. It's too dark. The story doesn't make any sense." To my relief, she shared my sentiments, admitting she too wanted to stop watching.
This experience led us to ponder how such a project received the necessary funding and support to come to fruition. It's bewildering that a series known for its light-hearted and engaging narrative could conclude with an installment that seemed so disconnected from its roots.
For fans of Anne of Green Gables and Avonlea, I would urge caution before venturing into this final video. If you hold dear the memories and joy these series have brought you, it might be wise to bypass this conclusion. It's a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes, leaving things unfinished is better than tarnishing the beautiful memories we've built. In our case, we chose to preserve our affection for Anne's world by foregoing this last chapter, and in hindsight, we're glad we did.
