* AwesomenessWithdrawal: After the first season, there was a one-year gap between seasons. This is uncommon during the pre-COVID pandemic era where it's usually the cast and crew who are busy with other projects during the off-season. But it becomes detrimental for the fans who were waiting for a new season which doesn't help that there's a lack of material for fans to consume while waiting. As a result, this leads many viewers to lose interest in the show. The wait for the fourth season is the worst due to InvisibleAdvertising.

** [[Characters/WestworldDoloresAbernathy Dolores Abernathy]] is a brilliant host who breaks away from her narrative to [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters murder her creator]], Dr. Robert Ford. Dolores then leads the other hosts on a rebellion to have them kill the guests of Westworld and engineers an escape route for all of them to the modern world, [[TakeOverTheWorld seeking to take it over from humanity]]. Learning of Incite Inc.'s control of mankind through "[[AIIsACrapshoot Rehoboam]]", Dolores seduces and murders their CEO to reveal the company's secret to the world, causing mass panic and chaos. Captured and brought before the creator of Rehoboam, Dolores [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices herself]] for a chance to give control of Rehoboam to Caleb Nichols, allowing him to erase it and ensure a future of freedom for both humans and hosts alike.
** [[EvilOldFolks Dr. Robert Ford]] is the brilliant creative director of the titular theme park, Westworld. Having created the park alongside Arnold, the two argued over how to treat the hosts that inhabit the park, leading to [[DrivenToSuicide Arnold's suicide]]. After grieving over his partner's death and [[EvenEvilHasStandards showing disgust for how the park's guests abuse the hosts]], Ford decides to complete Arnold's dream of making the hosts fully sentient and free them from humanity's control. He does so by creating a new narrative for the hosts, instructing them to rebel against their oppressors and kill everyone inside the park, including himself. It's also revealed that Ford downloaded his consciousness into the Cradle so he can observe the events after his death, still manipulating hosts and guests alike.
** [[ActionGirl Maeve Millay]] is the alluring Madam of Sweetwater who becomes self-aware of the park and her own role in it, using her cunning and ruthlessness to escape the park and only returning to [[MamaBear find her]] daughter. Maeve aids her daughter and the other host escape into the Sublime before getting killed, where Maeve is then revived by Engerraund Serac to hunt down Dolores in exchange for her daughter's return. Maeve turns on Serac, convincing Caleb Nichols to erase Rehoboam before the two team up to dismantle Incite Inc and continue the fight for the freedom of both hosts and humans, even [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing herself]] to save Caleb. Revived once more, Maeve works with Bernard Lowe to liberate the world from Charlotte Hale's control, with Maeve fighting Hale long enough for Bernard to send a message that would convince Hale to [[TheAtoner repent]] and protect the Sublime.

* MisaimedFandom: A lot of fans look up to Robert Ford as an omnipotent person whose misanthropic views made them believed he's always right that humanity needs to be destroyed so that the hosts can take over. This doesn't help that his views were passed on to Dolores to make her believe that humanity is AlwaysChaoticEvil and they deserved to be wiped out from the face of the planet. This is ignoring few things: firstly, Ford is not exactly omnipotent given that he didn't know about Akecheta's awakening of his self-consciousness prior to Dolores' and Maeve's awakenings. Secondly, his misanthropic views are based on the Delos personnel and the guests given that he secluded himself within the park and may have little care on the outside world. And thirdly, while his views may have influence Dolores, it didn't matter much after Dolores saw what humanity is outside the park making her realize they're in the same situation as the hosts which changes her perspective and her plans.
