Remember when Yea Forums had such high hopes for this?

I don't mind the show being cliched and predictable and poorly written, I mind that it wasn't cliched and predictable and poorly written in the right way. For most of season 5 they were building up to the predictable cliche ending of Jack staying in the future and making a life there because he had to let the past and his failures go. That would've been cliche, but fine. Instead they tried to do the fallen hero trope AND gave him a deus ex machina so that he could go back to the past and those two things are contradictory.

fuck the haters, I loved it

I mostly remember tumblr losing their minds at the heteronormity of this scene.
And of course b

This.

Number one rule of writing. Don't give a character what they want, give them what they need.

Aladdin WANTS to be a prince and be taken seriously and marry Jasmine. He NEEDS to be honest and true to himself.

Beast WANTS to be left alone to stew in his self pity forever. What he NEEDS is to find someone he can finally love more than he loves himself.

What Jack WANTS is to get back to thebpast and undo his greatest mistake. What he NEEDS is to forgive himself and let go so he can make a better future.

the whole season and the ending was worth it for those masterful 3 first episodes

I'll be honest. The plot wouldn't have been bad (except the I can just send Jack back in time with no knowledge about the spell, lmao) had they expanded it into two seasons.

I was laughing my ass at this party because I new how big the butthurt would have been on Yea Forums.

Yes. And I wasn't disappointed. It's a sad ending, but that's fitting for Samurai Jack.

What do you mean, it turned out great. Such a same genndy Died in that car accident before finishing more than the first three episodes though

Even for a Asian girl?

The show was complete shit when ashi became a part of it, It was just kinda gay.

Ep 4 was true samurai Jack. Everything after was still crap though, precisely because it tried to stray from the usual sj storytelling format

That finale just killed me.

Way to crash and burn just at the end of the journey.

the first 4 episodes of s5 were unironically 10/10
the rest may have been shit but im glad i saw those 4 episodes

This, everybody acts like the whole show was the Haunted house episode and the minimalist Ninja and nothing else.
That being said however, the frist 3 episodes were too contrasting with the rest of the season.

>Adult swim pulls a stunt and airs the first episode of the third season of Rick and Morty all night
>Boy oh boy I can't wait to talk about it on Yea Forums
>Tumblr having a meltdown and raiding the board because a TV network delayed a fucking episode for a week
>Can't post shit for three days

Westernize Asian girls are the best

Oh absolutely. Season 5 definitely had flaws, but the first 3 episodes were incredible.

The fuck you are talking about? Last season came out just months ago.

Unlike some Yea Forumsmrades, I never had a problem with the tonal shift after the first episodes.

Because I understood right from the start that would be temporary, a mirror of Jack's despair and get more optimistic/lighter in tone as the characters headed to confront Aku.

My problem is entirely in the last episode.

I NEVER agreed with Jack actually succeeding in travelling back to the past and undoing everything.

That they killed 90% of the future cast in the battle was too much.

That they had Ashi travel back as well just to set that stupid Gurren Lagann ending.

They destroyed everything in that last episode.

I disagree but see where you're coming from.

If they wanted bittersweet, then they should've kept the tone through the season.

That final exploration of the characters and the world and the change Jack made is absolutely pointless in the end.

I just hate that him finally getting back to the past and reuniting with his family was overshadowed by the forced drama of this TTGL type end

If Ashi and their romance was always a part of the show, I'd have been more emotional about it. But it only existed in Season 5 and it took precedence of the point of the show

This scene was fucking pointless and made no progression to the story
it also felt forced and unnatural
the worst part of it was that fast forward cut from panting to the kissing

Why do the people in these threads hate Jack's parents so much?

Save a small army of colorful weirdos or undo literally eons of pointless misery and death across the universe?

I unironically believe that the fucking theme song was the main reason why they felt that Jack had to go back to the past no matter what.

Just another episode for a two-part finale would have done the trick.

This hit me the other day. Time goes by quickly user, prepare for old age.

They like sexy girl more

doesn't your point make season 5 worse? it wasn't monster of the week, it was an interchained plotline from start to finish that took itself seriously.

I wonder if it being 13 years late had something to do with it being one long story

user, It's been 2 years...

I like his mom, alot.

I'm glad the first 3 episodes happened. They are by far the best cartoon content we have had in years.

Long ago, in a distant past, I, GENNDY, the screenwriting master of darkness, unleashed an UNSPEAKABLE SEASON
But a foolish user wielding a magic shitpost stepped forth to criticize me
Before the final post was submitted, I FLUNG HIM INTO THE FUTURE, where my season is generally regarded as being sort of okay and better than nothing, I guess. At least the first three episodes were really good.

No, I was mad the main villain was sidelined and that there was a hackneyed romance taking his place just so Jack going back to the past was bittersweet because she dies.

Jack doesn't even give a shit when all of his friends die because he too busy whining about Ashi.

Honestly after episode three I had serious reservations because of how it retconned the 'only robots' and stated that Jack didn't view the sapient ones as people when he sorta did back in the first four seasons.

No, because I never had hopes even in the original run. The show was simply NEVER meant to have an ending, which is why it came out so badly.

It was a cheap ripoff of TTGL without any understanding of its source or the rest of the themes of the season.

>Episodes 1 - 3: Have a different tone from the rest of the season, but suggest Jack is going in a darker way this season.
>Episode 4: Sets the tone back to the original series. A bit at odds with what came previously, but a good breather episode.
>Episode 5: Still in line with Episode 4. Starts changing Ashi's allegiances.
>Episodes 6 - 9: Plot threads just suddenly getting resolved on fast forward. 50 years of suicidal urges? Completely gone! Magic sword that left you? It's back now. Inner demons and hallucinations? Who cares about that shit, have some a forced romance so the female lead can get held hostage!
>Episode 10: Jack gets back to the past after almost half of the episode is devoted to fanservice for fanservice's sake. But we're not allowed to be happy because Ashi died, and that makes the ending "bittersweet".

Its rare to see someone so right.

But it was good though...

Fucking hell. Yes.

>You've got a warrior with a sword made of good going up against a god made of evil. That's the level of complexity we were dealing with.

Ya know what? That's fair.
