They marketed it super poorly with the whole "Jack is Back." ads, no-one I've talked too realizes it's only going to be a 10 episode long mini-series, they think it's a full on reboot.Somberbrero posted:I've been rewatching back from the beginning and I have a lot of thoughts. Mostly, the reboot is much better. Case in point lmao.

WHY BONER NOW posted:Was the wolf a sidekick of Jack's or something? I got the impression they were separated but on the same team? WHY BONER NOW posted:What was the deal with the exploding dagger, is that an established thing in the series? WHY BONER NOW posted:How did the firefly give Jack away? I get it didn't make sense for it to be inside the coffin, but it seemed like when it went out, that was the trigger WHY BONER NOW posted:On that note, why didn't he just squash it? Does he have a code against killing anything?

To expound the Firefly was directly a metaphor and a signal of life. Fireflies are attracted to heat, the warmest things in that room was the ball of fire flies, the Samurai, and the Ladies. The Fireflies were the first hint that they were alive, and warm they represented passion, hope, faith, the assassin's were strong in their hope and faith, so the fireflies flew around them. Jack's hope was dying, that's why the Firefly was going out in front of him.

He would also never just blow up a building in case there's an ambush.

Sorry, phone posting. Jack would never blow up a building without knowing what is inside specifically.

Servaetes posted:As a quick question, loving the show so far, but is like Aku totally aware that he will die/lose if he fights Jack and that's why he's hiding in a giant fire castle or something? It sounded like when he pitched Jack into the future it was totally understanding he was boned if he fought fairly. Yes.

NowonSA posted:I mean, I doubt they get into this, but there's all kinds of ways for time travel screwiness to take place. He could beat future Aku, go back to the past a minute after he was sent into the future, then lose to Aku in the past but Aku somehow forgets that, or time travel in itself could create parallel realities so the future people are still saved and exist, but in another timeline he comes back and stops it from happening in that one. Back to the past, back to the way things were, peaceful, I think he's being metaphorical.

Yo I liked the episode and all, but I hate that people can't just say "Man I don't like this," without everyone trying to make it seem like they just projectile shat the roof of the Sistine Chapel. No-one left a wet soppy turd on God's face, they just didn't like a TV show, chill.

Why should we be ashamed? Anime is good, and requires a deeper reading than most cartoons.

Yo, I re-watched episode 9, and uh. The imagery was a bit on the nose wasn't it? Is that really how Gennedy sees loving?

Gynovore posted:I think that having 9 begin immediately after 8 ended was Genndy's way of driving home the point that they didn't gently caress. The... Imagery though.
