To be fair, Musa and Riven stopped being a healthily functioning couple after Season 3. While I love Season 4 almost as much as Season 3 and consider it to be a sort of epilogue to the original story, in Season 4, Musa and Riven break up over something completely stupid. Yeah, they were the couple that occasionally squabbled, showing that not all the couples in this show are perfect, but in Season 4, they purposefully turn Riven into a bigger jerk than normal and Musa into an idiot. I'm sorry if I'm being harsh but that's literally what happened. She should've just explained to Riven, plain and simple, that her working with Jason Queen was strictly professional. Instead, she lets Riven be a bigger jerk than normal and develops feelings for Jason simply because he's a producer who can further her career. It was just hard to watch, especially with what happened with the two of them ever since they hooked up at the end of Season 2. In Season 5, he makes it up by basically being her Romeo and doing everything he can to show that he still loves her even when he can't show it 24/7(something Bloom needs to learn), but Season 6 just throws that all away and makes him the biggest jerk he has ever been in the series. I honestly stopped taking them seriously as a couple after the forced Musa-Jason-Riven "love triangle" and Season 6 just made them both look like idiots; mostly Riven than Musa because she was actually mature during that terrible season. Though, Riven leaving for good was completely unnecessary and just made it look like they were ready to trash him as soon as they made Nex, who I will constantly hate until I'm proven wrong because he just looks like a Nabu/Riven replacement in the worst way.
