Lost ending

When GoT ended, lots twitter normies and local newspapers here complained that it had an ending that was worse than Lost. What was so bad about it? I got the feeling it was just people repeating what others had said for brownie points and appearing clever. Overall, I found Lost a much better series where character growth, story arcs and music were concerned.
Thoughts?

I don't understand that either. While the ending was necessarily amazing, it was definitely at least satisfying and I liked it a lot. Also it's still one of my favourite shows ever.
Dexter on the other hand... Now that was a terrible ending, and yet still better than got

It's because most of Lost's audience dropped it around season 3.

Everyone watches the finale just to get answers, and come to the conclusion that they were dead all along (leading to that misconception). Not a surprise considering the finale features the dead cast in the afterlife church.

>What was so bad about it?
Nothing. The characters got the end they deserved and it was a great ending

Same with NGE

It wasn't bad, it was actually perfect. The show's writers/producers could not have concluded it any better. Normies complained because they thought, "so does this mean they were in purgatory all along >:(" completely missing the point and being absolutely wrong in the process. But yeah today it's kind of a "brownie point" deal, in which the normie's sheep mentality gets the better of them.

The "ending" itself, the last 2 episodes, were fine enough. They left a couple loose ends but it was alright. The pace of the last 6-8 episodes was all over the place though, it was extremely rushed to put a quick end to it, which made the whole thing worse. And like others say, a lot of brainlets actually thought the ending meant they were dead all along, don't listen to them.

The writers insisted that answers were coming, and they never did. People worked out after episode 1 that they were dead all along and the writers were annoyed that they were being so transparent so they added in exposition to the effect of "n-no, some of us died later or whatever", then they went to church, then they went to heaven. The End.

What a fucking shitshow. And now JJ Abrams is famous because brainlets actually defend it, and he's going around ruining everything else he can get his hands on.

they caved in to fans who wanted muh answers and we got pants on head retarded shit like personifying the smoke monster and across the sea. anybody who watched the show in its live run knows the writers strike killed the show anyways.

>DUDE LMAO THEY DEAD THE WHOLE TIME XD
Still the worst ending in TV shows ever. No matter how much D&D fucked GoT, Dexter becoming a lumberjack or House of Cards trying to finish the show without Kevin "Fiddle My Diddle" Spacey, Lost takes the first spot. You really have up your show harder to even get close to Lost levels of shit tier.

It was pretty good and did its job, exciting, fun, had all the characters, etc. The problem is season 6 was such a snoozefest that added more crap we didn't care about and it weighed the finale down. The show should've concluded with the end of season 5 and maybe had an extra 2 hour special if ABC insisted.

They weren't dead all along, Jack's dad explicitly says so in the final scene right before he walks into the light. I don't get how people can still that after watching the whole series.

Damn this was a good show, Jack's character development was god-tier, so were Locke, Desmond, Ben, Sawyer, etc.

Half of those people have never watched Lost.

>Jack's character development was god-tier
What was Jack's development? He was always a self-righteous, entitled cunt imho

That's not what happened. Season 6 showed the aftermath of the bomb as bringing everyone back to the present and a flashsideways to the "purgatory" after everyone eventually dies whether on the island or not

nah by destroying the island the plane never crashed but the emotions they all felt at he island were so strong that they reached out in the alternate timeline and they remember all they experienced there, they get together because they actually recall all that shit

>What was Jack's development?
he "let go" and stop being the man of science and became the man of faith after locke was murdered

>the "purgatory"
What was the point of that whole arc anyways? It only made things confusing for brainlets

>LMAO THEY DEAD THE WHOLE TIME
to properly use this meme you have to post a cap of the final credits of the finale that showed the fuselage still on the beach. the rest of yall know.

>create ending so awful that everyone rejects the obvious recycled twist bs.

He starts out as a reluctant leader, gets confrontational with Locke and a big head (torturing Sawyer), his ego swells, and leaves the island but fails to save everyone. The guilt eats away at him and he becomes a depressed wreck addicted to pills. He returns to the island, still thinking he's there to save everyone but gets Julliet killed and makes things worse. He finally realizes Locke was right and stops the MiB, finally dying for something greater.

Would Yea Forums go with Locke or Jack if you were a survivor?

Fans on message boards came up with so many incredible theories about how everything tied together and in the end it turned out they were putting a lot more work into the show than the actual writers, for nothing. I enjoyed reading Lost theories more than I ever enjoyed the show itself.

He started as a guy with daddy issues who'd been raised to always try pleasing everyone and only operated by strict logic. Then he became a defacto leader for the people on the island because of his usefulness but he became more obsessed with returning to wageslaving than living a fulfilling life or real intimacy which the island offered. He realized this after leaving and spent his life saving people and the island because he cared about them, not because he had to, and he found satisfaction in the afterlife which Ben never got.

With the netflix witcher series around the corner (which will probably suck), could a later season incorporate Gaunter? Terry O'Quinn did a great job as the MiB, would he be a good fit for this?

But they didn't destroy the island. They actually set everything and everyone in place for the place crash to happen (Ben, Faraday, Charlotte, the doctor's hand, etc). The effect of the bomb didn't blow up the island but teleported them to the wreck of the Swan in the 2000s. After the incident, Dharma returned to the island and built the Swan because they opened the pocket.

Well, Netflix's Witcher is going for Geralt's earlier stories so it'll take years before that. I don't think Netflix's Witcher will last that long, it'll crash and burn in 2 seasons tops.
But yeah, Terry O'Quinn could do a fine job.

him or mark strong

JJs point was always to confuse brainlets and he was great at it in television. His movies are terrible though

If your opinion and consideration of Jack in season 6 isn't different from the one who had in season 1 you didn't pay attention to the show

Lost was durnt af

>you didn't pay attention to the show
I did and to me he was always doing things for popularity points, an urge to seek attention born from daddy issues or to boss people around.

Gaunter played by idris elba i would watch

the ending to lost was not actually that bad and I genuinely enjoyed it

it was bad because the neo palestinians kept telling everyone that they are not dead, that it's was not the after life, that all the mysteries will be resolved etc etc

it was just dishonest, typical neo palestinian storytelling

>neo palestinian

Name a mystery that wasn't resolved or couldn't be answered with 2 braincells

That black kid with superpowers and a destiny

The problem with losts ending is that they specifically ruled out an everyones dead ending halfway through the series.

He and Hurley were selected by the island as its new keepers (ie man in white / man in Black)

But no other keepers hard weird powers

One guy became a smoke monster, another guy never aged and was in and out of existence

It was just brainlets not understanding the ending. While the ending wasn't perfect, it was still satisfying enough, and honestly, it could've been a LOT worse.

>One guy became a smoke monster
No, the smoke monster impersonated him. And the no aging thing is part of being a keeper, which Walt never was. In fact, weren't all the candidates to become a keeper in the island by S6, with Walt not being there?

The smoke monster was a technically a keeper. He was Jacob's twin. Walt was a keeper. Yes they were but most of them died or left on the last plane (Kate, Sawyer). Walt was one of the only ones who'd want to go back.

false expectations put by the books and bookfags that were never met.
>lady stonehart
>dornish masterplan
>aegon
>varys and littlefinger not having retarded plans
>the dorne and vale actually doing something
>euron being an almost mystical being with a plan
>azor ahai
none of these conditions were met. and their expentations were subverted. plus the retarded justifications for things like not killing cersei in season 7 to end the war.

To be fair Lady Stoneheart and the Dornish Masterplan is retarded (but not based Jon Connington), agree with the rest

Oh, fuck, I am retarded, I meant that the Aegon subplot is retarded. The Dornish plot in the books is also kind of weak (not Doran, I'm talking about Arienne), but still much better than the show's Dorne

I'd liked to have seen Quentin going to Daenerys

There's nothing wrong with Lost's Ending

>The smoke monster was a technically a keeper.
Maybe, but what happened to him was caused by Jacob. He didn't have special abilities before that. Also, not sure if Walt was on that wall with all the names of the candidates.

Why was the smoke monster bad? He just wanted to leave the island, lots if the cast came and went from the island so why not Smokey?
Nothing really made sense and had no consequences in the end. They expect everybody to be content with what that dead ghost dad at the end said in the church, well ok that explains everything lol. That's the biggest cop out in TV history.

The show kinda claims that keepers were directly chosen one at a time but really the keepers come in 2s. This is alluded to when Locke teaches Walt backgammon "one's light, one's dark". Hurley also had the power of "luck" from the numbers and Locke was given the ability to walk.

>why not Smokey?
He was cursed by Jacob

>being a keeper

Nothing was mentioned about "being a keeper" do you autists just make shit up to explain lack of plot?

How did Jacob get all powerful powers? He could leave the island, why curse his brother?

>Nothing was mentioned about "being a keeper"
Watch the Jacob episodes brainlet

Yet Hurley lost hard to Walt playing backgammon. I'm not saying he isn't a candidate (though I looked the wiki and he isn't on the list) but he is something more than just a candidate, and it was never explained.

>Nothing was mentioned about "being a keeper"
Literally my point

Ok say there are keepers what are they keeping and why?

>How did
He was "the light one" and was specifically chosen by their mother
>Why curse
His brother killed their mother

Watch Lost again, don't bother us about it

I don’t understand why writers of book series and TV shows don’t just look at online message boards for Inspiration. The fans making the theories would be satisfied and the writers would actually get some good material.

OK what is the light one? Who was his mother?
It's understandable Smokey killed his mother because she killed his real mother, why does Jacob not care about that?

So you don't know because it has no purpose lol

>though I looked the wiki and he isn't on the list
The list is mostly compiled from shots of those shown on the cave walls. It's not everyone.

They are protecting the island and keeping universal balance. If they fail then the world is brought into chaos. There was a cork analogy Jacob made

Why does the island keep universal balance? What chaos would be unleashed? Why is a plug the only thing from stopping said chaos?

The light one is "the good guy". It's Cain and Abel.
>Where did everyone come from
The world is a cycle. They are simply the ones that came before under similar circumstances to the last person and the person before them. The show doesn't have to explain that, it does so already.
>Why doesn't Jacob care?
He protects the world but he's human and kind of an asshole. He crashed a plane ffs

I know and it doesn't have everyone, but it's something that would point at Walt being a candidate, and he isn't there.

>things I dont understand are bad
Voila.

They described the island as a gateway to hell. On scientific terms you see this as the electromagnetic pocket but really it encompasses many things mystical. The island is basically a magical place and even Jack who's obsessed with logic has an arc about coming to this conclusion. "Why"is not the point.
True, but what intrigue comes from all the plot points of every character being plastered before the ending? His character conclusion is implied that he's chosen

>imagine not liking Lost ending
>imagine not understanding that the main focus where the characters not the muh secrets
>imagine thinking something did not get explained
>imagine being this much of a brainlet

Since heaven exists in the show and by extension God must exist when why would god allow an island full of weirdos to have access to a gateway to hell.

You are correct. It was a mediocre ending but people just like being melodramatic when everyone else is

Pretty accurate

Lost ending was great what is everyone talking about

Your beloved show fucking sucks. Go eat a dick. You think just cause people didn't like your show, they didn't understand it? Go fuck yourself, you pretentious shit.
