Side note: Explodo dagger is way OP.

Just tapping it against the wall a few times blew the whole side of the building up.

I feel like that weapon is either written in to explicitly solve a situation later, or they overlooked it and have this near deus ex machina floating around that's going to cause some story issues.

For instance: Jack HAD to lose that right away in the initial encounter because a single strike against any of the Sisters would be an instakill.

I kinda think it's a misstep.

Neat little subtle thing - the dagger ramps up with repeated strikes against something. Just one or two taps isn't that much of a bang.

Jack tapped the wall like fifty times

Yeah that's why I kind of agree with whoever said Jack doesn't leave this show alive. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he dies fighting Aku and Ashi takes up his sword to kill her father, then goes forward as the people's protector in Jack's name. That's it, no getting back, no undoing the damage. Just moving forward.

I mean in the first series we saw future jack going through the portal, so...

It's a good thing Jack did that dog sidequest back in season 1, otherwise he'd be toast now.

I think jack will go back in time and defeats aku, though not neccesarily in that order.

Sorry, shouldn't have thought about the message being conveyed by media, especially not without checking from the author-on-high first. I'll go back to scribbling on every wall of my cell at the asylum now. I'd really hate to point out the flaws of a power fantasy starring a cis-het-able-male oligarch.

Sir, this is a McDonald's drivethru.

I decided to look this up to see if that was really the title.

So, one, yes it is.

And, two, the wiki I found for it, well:

It discards out of hand the concept of a seahorse dragon or Darwin's frog dragon, both of which are way more interesting possibilities

Listen he might death ray heroes into dust and run over entire tank lines as a ball, but he's also very, very funny. The clip where he basically mocks the entire premise of the show and pretty much every cartoon I watched as a kid was great

Comedy is just tragedy plus time.

Nude Ashi didn't bother me, given that Jack being naked has been played for comedy before and Ashi's outfit is made of shrubbery. It was bound to happen at some point.

I thought the simulated sex scene at the end before the kiss was pretty tasteless, though.

yeah it was nearing star wars levels of bugnest orgy

The Ghost Scotsman actually beat the Guardian and went back in time to defeat Aku.

How did he look like Old Jack?

They ended it before the time slot was over, though.

Add a couple minutes onto it.

Jack grows old and becomes king, but still misses Ashi.

One day, wearing his crown, he seeks out the Guardian.

He never was going to use that time portal to go to the past.

There was too much dialogue in general - Jack is best when it doesn't explain obvious things.
