Much appreciated kind user!

Pretty much played out as expected, but decent. I would have liked a little less ‘the nanobot problem is just fixed now’.
Glad I was right about Leon getting the sixth ranger slot even if he’s just being immediately being swapped out for Sinclair. I would have also liked to have seen someone else that wasn’t Chase be the one to go over uptime, it would have been a good way to subvert the obvious twist everyone saw coming.
That shot of the railgun hitting in the background at the end of the fight was fuckin kino tho.
Levi Hughes
This post and them dumping S16 onto YouTube just now reminded me that I never got past the first episode of it. What the fuck happened to that show. I spent years as a super fan and now I didn’t even know there was a season 17 happening until now.
Jaxon Jenkins
>That shot of the railgun hitting in the background at the end of the fight was fuckin kino tho.
Damn right, that was really good to see. I know its little but makes it a good way to show that there's indeed a battle going in the background without showing the battle itself.

Escape from Union City is going to be nice for Punished Sinclair
Andrew Moore
So where does the series go from now? Union is probably going to patch their nanites so Paddyrabbit doesn’t fuck with it worldwide. Unless they actually have infinite NegaChases but have only been sending one at a time (which kind of defeats the purpose of the last episode), how is the series not over? The Union doesn’t really have anything that can beat Gen;Lock anymore unless they make a Psycho Ranger team of AI mimicking the team via the data they skimmed from NegaChase listening in on them. The ending felt formulaic but only half-satisfying since it feels like they burned all their plot hooks for a Season 2 sans extracting the real Sinclair which is superfluous since the Polity are now the ones with exclusive Gen;Lock now. A sixth ranger in a show where they’re just fighting normal tanks or the rare Squid Dreadnought is redundant.
Liam Adams
Dong forget than the Vanguard now have a railgun that can accurately hit targets from hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Grayson King
From the sounds of it next season should focus on them re-claiming the U.S. Also pretty sure that last scene with Nemesis was supposed to imply they DO have copies. For all we know this wasn't the same Nemesis that we saw last episode and they just keep swapping them out.
Jeremiah Thomas
wouldn't be a proper nemesis if he dies in the first season ;)
Aaron Sanchez
I can’t wait for Evil!Chase to go from a season long threat to every episode having a Chase-of-the-week to fight, follow by the finale where they fight a hundred Chases at once.

I could see them stripping down some Chase copies down into AI-with-extra-steps, and putting the Nemesis Holon (or something similar) into mass production.

Either that or that Nemesis has been copied and modified so many times for the Union to get the desired result, that he is less close to the original Chase than the E-Brain Chase.

I have to admit it was pretty clever how by making Sinclair's holon a chekhov's gun they got people to let their guard down and still be surprised by Sinclair himeself tuning out to be an end credits chekhov's gunman.
Ian Thompson
Still somewhat unclear why that meant our Chase had to kill Nemesis!Chase.
I mean the guy was pretty thoroughly incapacitated. They could have at least Tried to heal and uncorrupt him.
I guess maybe the idea was that N!Chase wanted to be put out of his misery and our Chase was just honoring his wishes?
Bit surprised Miranda wasn't more upset/messed up by him doing that, seeing as her appeal to Nemesis seemed to indicate she still veiwed him as being to some degree 'her' Chase.
Nolan Gutierrez
I hope next season they further explore the after effects of the entire team mindsharing, since ep.6 definitely showed that even doing that once can cause some memory crossover.
Since they’ll likely be doing that regularly in the future, it would be interesting to see them deal with themes of identity and individuality. For instance is it only memories or will they start having interests and hobbies rub off on each other, maybe even edging into full on personality bleed.
At what point do they stop being individuals sharing aspects between each other and start being closer to a single averaged/amalgamated entity with multiple instances/bodies?
Particularly pertinent given the Polity versus the Union’s themes of individuality and collaboration versus homogeneity and unity.

It's in its first season and there hasn't been a lot of worldbuilding and stuff to really talk about. It just is what it is. I can speculate that Weller made a backup of himself into a cyber brain in caliban and he's just running in low-power mode as he tries to adjust and caliban tries to fix technical errors until the moon crashes into earth and the heat death of the universe engulfs our species it wont matter until it airs.

Memory sharing would be the absolute worst thing. You don’t just have your own cringeworthy experiences to keep you up at night you now have multiple peoples memories of doing dumb/weird shit.
Luis Thompson
They lacked the facilities and the understanding to isolate him and trying would put everyone at unacceptable risk
They lacked the equipment and the brains to basically let weller, now cammie, basically play script kiddie with his very being which even if they succeeded wouldn't have been so much "healing" or "uncorrupting" him as it would be making a wicker man in chase's image which isn't what you wanted in the first place

I'm still a bit offput by them scrubbing blaine's name off of the intro. Maybe I was just too tired by the post-credits scene but wasn't sinclaire (el originale) still voiced by blaine?
Gabriel Roberts
Yaz and Kaz having constant slapfights over Chase and Val would be great. Bonus points if Chase manages to be a completely oblivious harem protagonist somehow even with the mindmelds. Even Caliban knows at this point. Yaz called him in for support when Cammie pledged allegiance to team Kaz.
James Sanchez
Seems straight forward to me.

Landon Jackson
And worse, what memories of yours have they gotten that you don't know about?
Just the POSSIBILITY that you may have done something cringey and now someone else knows about it and you don't is terrifying enough to keep me up at night.
What if it was something you totally got away with but could absolutely bite you in the ass if anyone knew? The team dynamic could drop into a cold war of personal secrets with MAD as the only possible eventual outcome.

Robert Rivera
No sir I didn't like it.
They over powered the fuck out of yet another big bad only for him to be instantly defeated by the literal power of friendship.
I wanted Neme-Chase to remain throughout whatever the fuck this series becomes and to be this conflicted monster that finds himself more and more confused in between the the things he hears on the holonet, his fragmenting as fuck hard drive, and whatever the fuck the Union is doing to him.
When he came blazing in with wings and thrusters and a few extra spikes, I was hype as fuck. But nano tech is literal fucking magic and this point and that is BORING.
Oh now it's a sword. Now it's a shield. Now it's a gun and an extra robot arm and a fucking giant hand and a spikey cloud of angry diamonds. It breaks all the rules and when there are not rules there are not fucking stakes. Whether the good guys win or lose, it won't feel deserved because either they lost to bullshit writing or they won thanks to bullshit writing.
Not that most of these fights have been that good to begin with. Guns are literally worthless. Literally. Literally, literally, literally. I can't say literally enough. There has not been a single gun fired in this entire show that has done a single fucking thing, save for killing faceless grunts and nuking a giant walker. Every time Yaz opens fire I roll my fucking eyes and wait for 5 more seconds of my life to pass while an SMG makes little spark effects pop up on the bad guy. Even robo-tranny's rifle does fuck all when it nails him in the fucking head.
I stuck around because Nega-Chase was sick as fuck and gave Chase himself a lot of emotional avenues to explore as a character. And now its gone. So unless they find a suitable replacement villain, it's all sub par mech fights and occasionally funny jokes from here on in.
Great music though, save for the generic as fuck "we're winning" battle theme.

It's the typical failing of CGI, they don't want to model gun damage so they just make guns useless, on the occasion the guns aren't entirely useless, they do a hundred pews and then make an explosion that covers up where the damage ought to be.
Asher Hill
So, is it dead and done forever?
Easton Evans
It sets up for a season 2, so it’ll probably be back next year unless it bombed super hard.
Jonathan Gutierrez
The series or Nega-Chase? The series is planned to continue. It's implied that there are many Nega-Chase copies, but I'm assuming they're all further degraded and the brains they'll be running on will be more simplistic and crude.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of antagonist the second season brings.
Jackson Morris

Annoyingly, this is just one of the things 3D does poorly. Adding combat damage to 3D models makes everything way more expensive. I've noticed they've been trying to slowly phase it in by building more damaged models that they can use when something has sustained gunfire damage.
Jeremiah Long
I personally just want to learn more about the Union
I mean, I understand the whole "faceless antagonist" thing, but other from Nemesis, we know basically nothing about them except that "they are evil"

The show seems to want to focus more on team drama.
Chase Roberts
I wonder if Chaser got some info about the union from him.
Noah Stewart
Yeah I want to see some of their perspective too. We have been dripped stuff about them, though. We know they glorify the concept of the Fourth Turning, that they regularly brainwash citizens into soldiers, and that they consider 'intellectuals' to be disruptive societal elements.

Kevin Lee
if you look at the suits after the battles there are tons of bullet holes in them. Also, Val's gun has done a number on many enemies, even Nemesis during the final battle. I get the complaint, but you can't have missed all the battle damage at the end
Joshua Thomas
yeah, that's my biggest issue with the show, we know NOTHING about why the union are attack, their goals, their history, hell, we don't even fucking know where they are from? They could be from space for all we know
Jacob Lopez
Like I said, they're implementing more and more battle damaged models, but at the moment this damage tends not to appear upon impact, but rather after a cutaway. It'd be nice if they could slowly integrate this stuff in a more seamless way.
Levi Allen
I blame the writing
even beyond that, what do you know about anyone? even the main cast get blurbs worth of info. I did not even know guy in the coma was injured
Noah Ward
>t-that was just a big clitoris, I SWEAR!
Caleb Price
They're called The Union of The Fourth Turning, which means they likely believe in a return to strong hierarchical structures with what they would consider to be solid moral foundations. Their apparent dislike for intellectualism is consistent with this, and the desire for cultural and political unity that the Fourth Turning represents seems to be hinted at through their use of brainwashing. I would presume they're not 'from' anywhere and are more a political movement that has gained worldwide traction.
That said I really do want to see more of them. An episode behind enemy lines would be really good to start off the next season with.
Gabriel Garcia
>what do you know about anyone? even the main cast get blurbs worth of info.
We know quite a lot about the main cast even without the infodumps.
>I did not even know guy in the coma was injured

Jose Cox
>What are you even talking about?

>We know quite a lot about the main cast even without the infodumps.
it may seem that way but for example what can you tell me about yez except for the fact that she is an ex union soldier whos parents got ghosted, that she has a crush on chase and has evangelion dreams.
Nicholas Nguyen
>the one who showed up in blue holon in the last ep.
Oh. Of course you didn't know he was injured, he just got hurt.
>what can you tell me about yez except for the fact that she is an ex union soldier whos parents got ghosted, that she has a crush on chase and has evangelion dreams.
She's curt and pessimistic, but not necessarily out of a desire to be rude - instead she seems somewhat uncomfortable with excessive attention. Even before the thing with her parents was revealed her behaviour implied some level of guilt over past actions or experiences, though earlier I assumed it was generally just a manifestation of how she felt about being associated with the Union. She had a close relationship with Doctor Weller, who possibly was something of a surrogate father figure based on her intense loyalty to him, her disbelief at his death, and the way he spoke to her. She apparently had a position of some rank or comfort in the Union, as indicated by the fake Sinclair's accusations against her, and is a highly trained close combat combatant - something that itself implies something about how the Union organizes itself and what traits it values.
Charles Cox
>the one who showed up in blue holon in the last ep.
He wasn't nessissarily injured. Lance was a candidate for the Gen:LOCK program, but he got too old to be one of the testers like Chase and the crew
That's why he got in a coma. The doctor did say there was an age requirement and if you're over the requirement you can't mind-merge into Gen:LOCK
Jackson Reed
That sacrifice might have been more effective if Lance was more than a named redshirt at that point in the show

Juan Robinson
Cameron King
I'm not talking visual battle damage. Visual battle damage also means fuck all as the show has demonstrated numerous times. Especially during and after the Anvil attack.
I'm talking real, viable consequences during battles with Nemesis and future Union holons. Just this last episode, he's dead sprinting directly into cannon fire from Jodie and some Striders. Guns are ineffective and that makes them no fun to see in action. Fill that dead time with something else.
The most the the sniper rifle has done is knock him over with a direct headshot, but Kazu's sword can remove limbs and a smaller blade can ACTUALLY pierce his plot armor? Even the Strider on Spider battles have guns that do nothing until someone finally fires a missile or the script requires their sci-fi future guns to finally hit a leg or something so that they fall over.
Nemesis was scary the first time Cammy's gun did nothing. It got old fast and gives the impression that the main cast is fucking retarded.
Ian Stewart
I could maybe handle a nano blade and even the nano shield (although its fucking boring that nothing ever seems to get past it), but a fully functioning laser cannon, robot arm, giant hand, and so on is some 14 year old doodling in his notebook tier
Chase Ross
Meh, it's okay. I didn't think of this series as anything special. More or less the run of the mill mecha show with brain downloading and nanomachines as its gimmick.
Luke Gonzalez
It's still why guns do fuck all except in one or two super special cases where they've budgeted for it.
It never come off like they're writing it for the medium they're using, and that it's messed about with way too late to change.
Feels like a bit of a cop out that it can be just fucking anything at a moments notice.

In case you haven't noticed the Vanguard are borderline retarded. Dr Weller was the only competent scientist they had, and even he couldn't build a Holon that could stand up to Nemesis. Even after the Scottish Bun upgraded all 5 suits, the Union had already outpaced them with Nemisis v2.
James Rivera
Did Vanguard always have an orbital/airborne railgun?
Christian Bennett
It was the one at the Anvil.
Austin Murphy
what. how?
I don't remember the Anvil being mobile.
Cooper Diaz
It’s not. Near the start of episode the battle they say ‘15 minutes until intercontinental test fire of the hammer system’ on the radio. They shot the walker from across the country.
Brayden Powell
>Polygon has become my go-to workout album
Solid Gold = Belgrade
Mason Richardson
Thank god but you know it's only a matter of time
Liam Kelly
And it was a test fire too. So even though Anvil fell, the Railgun was a complete success
That's why you see it again in Chicago
Robert Cooper
>even though Anvil fell
Anvil didn't fall. Weller took out the majority of the actual incursion with his bomb, and they disabled the nano. Plus we saw the rail gun take out the big walker.
It clearly took them some time to mop up and get shit working again, but the base is still their.
Justin Taylor
Them saying Anvil actually survived was a mistake. They ended that episode by bsically upping the stakes and then tossed it out once it turned out "No, everyone survived."
If they said something like "Weller's bomb bought us some time to escape, but not everyone was lucky" then it would've been fine
Instead of a deus ex machina
Elijah Myers
I would have at least preferred it not being made immediately known that everyone at the base survived.
Chase Wilson
Exactly. If during S2 the Gen:LOCK crew bumped into some survivors then it would've been fine
Could even joke how it's like Chase and how everyone thought he was dead but then he just shows up years later
Tyler Ortiz
What ticked me off was Chase coming to the realisation that he could mod himself without consequence, then that going nowhere. He didn't seem any stronger even after maxing out his stats.
Jack Campbell
I'm more surprised he didn't do that earlier
He said he was going to buy everyone time so I thought that meant maxing out his stats so he can hold off Nemesis until everyone returned
It being absolutely useless made it even worse. Especially since when Cammie did it she was basically inhuman
Saying that nemesis is just that fucking strong is a cop-out
Nolan Jenkins
Chase realizing he can max mod himself should've been a "OP starts playing" kinda scene that you see in anime.
What was even weirder to me is immediately after, when he was him standing on the ground and firing at his clone while said clone pursued his allies' ship rather than flying after him.
Zachary Parker
People wanted more Union stuff. Seems like a pretty sure bet "Life in the Union" will be a focus for Season 2.
Tyler Wood
I swear to god if we don't get multiple episodes of Sinclair's lonely, terrified struggle to survive while simultaneously showing us Union life and they just hand wave it with "We got Sinclair back! He escaped!".....
Brayden Perez
So anyone want to take bets on which type of bad-guy government the Union will be?
Will it be most like:
>Nazis
>Communist/Maoist China
>Soviet/Stalinist Russia

Betting on commies
Zachary Jones
At that point the Tumblr/Reddit leftist echo-chamber would go nuts.
Evan Nguyen
Yeah there's no way it'll be fucking commies.
It'll probably just be generic Helghast empire.

>Solid first season
Try passable.
The writing is sometimes kinda funny, sometimes preachy as fuck, and sometimes just bland.
The action is subpar.
Some of the narrative twists have been pretty good but many of them have been waved away or reversed entirely so the stakes are null.
Angel Garcia
and some of the animation was painfully janky.
Jackson Wood
I just hope they chose better intro music for the next season.
Jaxson Thompson
I agree. Belgrade was great and something even better would be incredible.

Series finale is Chase becoming white.
Adam Brooks
Coma =/= Brain dead
Chase Edwards
Being brain dead and being in a coma are two different things
You can't just body-swap with someone in a coma
Caleb Young
nah. I don't even the mechanics name, only that he was called eggs or something. in ep one I misheard it as Migger and was like "did he just say "whats up my Mexican nigger?". Do you know what the doctors wife is called, or that guy building the space station or at least the anvil lead woman from Puerto Rico?
William Reed
his personality did not change.
it did not really dawn on him.
Brody Wilson
its supposed to be a hook for s2 so they should not wave it but I feel like they might

>Have you considered not being faggots|?
have you? this season was a mess, im only giving it breaks because im still looking at it as half home project like rwby. its like some youtube original that would not get a second season. lower than trash mech anime
Robert Roberts
>Do you know what the doctors wife is called
Jha or Jah or something. No idea how you spell it, just how it sounds.
>or that guy building the space station
Mark Holcroft. I remember because his name came up much earlier and I was waiting for it become important.
>or at least the anvil lead woman from Puerto Rico?
Colonel Marin. No idea what her first name is, I'm not even sure it's come up.
