The ending of MOTU REVOLUTION has Adam Abolishing the Monarchy and creating a Democracy with Andra being the first candidate.
That is a load of bullshit. It's obvious that the writers were pushing their biases into the story. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Adam abdicating the throne for being a One Man Army. Not one kingdom in Eternia should have that much power. Not to mention that he is soon going to be putting his pee-pee inside the most magical hoo-ha in Eternia. And when pee-pees burp inside hoo-has babies come out as a result. You see where I'm going with this? Too much power relegated to a single kingdom is dangerous.
A single ruler shouldn't have control over what essentially is an Eternian Superman. Removing the King to have President Andra is wrong, because we have the same shit under a different collar. Only difference is that the "king" is replaced every few years instead of being a lifelong position.
The approach was wrong. Adam should've established a council, taking into consideration the different races of Eternia. I know that past continuities have had councils like that, but dividing the ruling power amongst many would've been a more logical step IN ETERNIA. The writers were thinking in Earth terms when they made Adam Abolish the Monarchy. The Andra kissing babies line shows how "Earthling" the thinking was. Barbarian Sword and Sorcery Worlds aren't that big on Modern Democracies. A group of tribal chieftains is the closest thing to a democracy that would be LOGICAL for Eternia.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that they implemented the idea of Adam abdicating the throne in a bad way. I'm not against the idea, just the execution of it.
