I think it may have been them looking at how most of the fans just wanted to get to the plot already, so they thought “Let’s get to it as fast as possible so they’ll stop complaining”
i saw a post a while ago about cartoon network giving su pacing problems. i dont think theyve really done anything different this time except saying they’ll release the episodes early on the app thing. imo the best thing would just be to release one episode a week
