I was worried the new season would go too hard with the bleak "It's fifty years later and Jack is a traumatized mess" premise and wouldn't capture the wackier aspects of the series. And then Scaramouche showed up and called Aku on his cell phone

But now I'm worried that "going back to the past" has become a metaphor for "making America great again." (wretch) and I think I have to root for the future that is Aku. To be fair, I and most people I know have been wishing we could go "back the past" of, say, 2012 or 2013 for the better part of a year now.

The latest episode just makes it even clearer how much more appropriate it would be to have Jack as a mentor/surrogate father to Ashi. Jack would be an alternative role model and "father" to Ashi compared to the evil (absent, abusive) Aku. The final battle between Jack and Aku would be not just a battle to save the future/reclaim the past (depending on whether Jack actually gets back to the past), but also an ideological battle between two dads. Oh, well.

Obviously this would be garbage, but the idea of the Scotsman trolling Aku on not-Twitter sounds hilarious. Aku sends out deranged social media messages at 3 AM. "NO SHAPESHIFTING MASTER OF DARKNESS HAS EVER BEEN TREATED THIS HARSHLY OR THIS UNFAIRLY!" Aku supporters in the replies get mad at SJWs (Samurai Jack Warriors) for making the hashtag #ResistAku start trending.
