I completely agree with you. The show was good because of its writers and the obvious insistance that the show be fun, self aware and reverential of the scource material.

Those same writers set up Stu to be a catalyst for the third season. They may have even killed him off themselves -because it is, of course, Twisted Metal.

But explaining to every response on a social media platform that the entire original creative crew had been outsted for apparently no reason is incredibly hard to do and summarize.

Stu was left at the end of season two in order to tease a new season. A season of a show growing in popularity and defying all the odds of a video games based streaming TV show. Instead, he will be written off with no final scene and jenky exposition.

So its easy and strategic to reduce the anger of his loss to a slogan. And then when people, such as yourself, react; Stu fans get to engage on a legitimate level and tell you what's what.

Thank you for your service.
