What's "full" about it?
Other than that..."Staff of Sameness" ? Really? Apparently it's incredibly difficult to think of a creative name for a macguffin.

Outside of that, S4 was just as good as S1/S2, imo.
I think that many of us look back fondly on S1 because it was the first season, with nothing else to compare it to at the time. We had no expectations, rather, we were expecting it to be a "crappy girls show", and it turned out to be great. Now however, that sheen of "girls show that doesn't suck!" has really worn off, so peoples' expectations tend to be higher.
But really, as some in the video said, "Faust" or "Post-faust", neither is really objectively better than the other. S1/S2 were heavier on slice-of-life, while S3/S4 are heavier on adventure and fantasy. S1/S2 had kinda slower, calmer stories, S3/S4 had really actiony and dramatic stories. Neither is "better" than the other, per se.
