AVClub: If Wander Over Yonder was a more broadly-recognized show, I would put money down that the long game with Dominator would be a complete turn-off. This is the kind of thing that the echo chamber of the internet has doubled down on viciously, causing shows to crash and burn, despite otherwise producing decent to great work. We can look at the poor ratings of The Muppets, or that second season of The Legend of Korra, for direct examples (or any number of the post-Lost failures of network TV). To be clear, Wander Over Yonder has had some amazing, hilarious, and poignant episodes this season, but this Dominator thing is just hard to take for so long. And I have a high tolerance for “annoying things” in cartoons–I think Teen Titans Go has comic merit, for example (although I am admittedly losing patience with it). The tonal difference between “The Family Reunion” and “The Rival” exemplifies this. The former uses the Dominator concept tangentially, leading to an amazing, hilarious, and poignant episode. The latter is directly connected to Dominator, and it is decidedly not.
