VJeff posted:I mean I don't really care what anybody says, this is still way better than nothing. The final fight between Aku and Samurai Jack deserved a lot more attention. Compared to the movie it was a complete joke and even in Season 5 itself a lot of the themes were just straight up tossed into the bin.

The story as it is could've worked with more time. A different story probably could've given a satisfying ending in the span of 10 episodes. But what we got is heartbreaking. It wasn't all bad, and even in the weaker episodes there were really good ideas. Mannnn.

What happened to the scottsman Everyone started dying to the javelin rain and he ascended while dooting his bagpipe to stop it. Literally next scene Aku is just standing there and there's no wreckage and the daughters of the scottsman are just gone.

FZeroRacer posted:The final fight between Aku and Samurai Jack deserved a lot more attention. At the risk of sounding contrarian Aku got the poo poo beaten out of him right before he sent Jack to the future, I don't feel like there was ever any way that fight was going to end in any way but Aku getting chumped. Of course that doesn't really excuse how anti-climactic and poorly paced the finale was, the battle BEFORE they get sent back in time was a letdown. The reprisal of the original intro was some brilliant poo poo and gave me hope this episode would come together well, but it all really just crumbled. And they missed a good opportunity with Jack on the horse to at least show him with the beard as a king again or whatever, come on! Ugh!!

You know, I just thought of this: they could justify Ashi living in a weird timeloop thing because, well, Jack STILL got sent to the future. Actually, wait, what the gently caress happened to the Jack sent the future?

When Aku dies, the future timeline is erased, so by extension, anyone living in that timeline would be too.

I was kinda hoping / expecting Ashi to throw him through the portal then go back to the future, then she could destroy future Aku and he could destroy past Aku, and then they would be in split timelines where they could still have a connection through ladybugs or whatever. Also, what the gently caress were they thinking cramming this all into one episode, it needed / deserved at least two.

He basically goes, and winds up on a normal Earth and finds a story somewhere that he succeeded. But is now stuck in a future where a version of Ashi or a girl that looks like Ashi can possibly exist fifty years from when he appeared into the future.

I really liked Aku's relatively undramatic "oh no". He killed everyone, but he hosed up.

The Scotsman's ghost should have followed them in the time portal, and when he doesn't get erased like Ashi he can say it was Celtic magic.

I must have turned around quickly, I mean just because Aku doesn't exist in the future doesn't mean future characters weren't born.

achillesforever6 posted:I must have turned around quickly, I mean just because Aku doesn't exist in the future doesn't mean future characters weren't born. It's either that everyone in the Aku future was erased by Jack destroying Aku in the past or there's an alternate timeline still existing...except without Jack and the sword to stop Aku.

Maybe, but Aku is a pretty significant influence on the future and you can't really ignore the fact that if those characters exist, they would be very different versions of themselves.

Aku was Ashi's father though so I think that's what made it different? I guess? But if that was the case why didn't she just die when Aku did and it was a time paradox that killed her? But if it was a paradox why did she stay alive for like, several months? Was it not until the wedding that she stopped to think about the time travel physics? If she hadn't ever considered the ramifications of time travel would she be alive? If it was a willpower thing like Gurren Lagann what made her give up before the actual marriage?

How many shows are there where the intro is actually canon to the show haha?

I liked it, but man, what I wouldn't have given for another couple episodes to let the show breath. Edit: Seriously, you could've done an entire epilogue episode on Ashi slowly realizing she's vanishing from the timeline and trying to hide it from Jack until it's too late.

I feel like they could have made it work and made it more meaningful if they grew old together and then she fell ill, and revealed that the reason she was ill was because she'd been existing on pure force of will the entire time to be with him, and her body couldn't maintain it anymore. Then they could have had the same ending with her fading away and his being comforted by the ladybug. I think I still would have just preferred split timelines, though.

I can't bring myself to Stockholm syndrome myself into thinking 'they were going to botch it from the start, of course it's Cartoon Network!' and accept this. This ending could have been done better and I am deeply disappointed by this result.

I really have to wonder what the production process on the show was like. The first three episodes just feel so different from everything that came after, especially in terms of plotting and pacing.

Wow, I am not even disappointed. It literally went exactly as I thought it was going to go after episode 8. Ten years, everybody. Ten LONG years waiting for this final season. And it ended like people thought it would end when we thought the show was going to get cancelled Ten years ago. It's like they did what anime studios have done before and blew their entire budget on the first three episodes and left hardly anything else for the rest of the 7. What a disappointing end to what everyone thought was gonna be the capstone to Samurai Jack. Fabricated posted:These last couple of episode felt like a series being rushed to completion, but that obviously isn't what happened. Bleh. This quality of "show cancelled" ending was 10 years overdue. Annointed fucked around with this message at 06:25 on May 21, 2017 |
