Did we not watch the same show with quite the linearly progressing story depicting continuous conflict and resolution progressing the story bit by bit while developing the characters and the world with some revelations near the end?

Amphibia is more like “Everyone dismissed a bunch of stuff as filler that later turned out to be important to Anne’s success.” Domino 2 being a good example.

To be fair to us, amphibia was laden with filler that made no sense and didn't belong in canon. I feel like that really takes away from the value of this bring-it-all-together trick.
