>Thank god for their abridged romance so we could get short-term payoff.

I don't think the cynical approach would even be necessary as an alternative. In the context of the show their attraction is sensible if you believe attraction can be catalyzed by proximity over a long stretch of time. Sure, they can relate to each other given their circumstances as fighters and heroic type characters; that could form the basis of a more substantial romantic relationship. I don't think there's enough dialogue between the two to flesh out that connection. We can make it as observers, but that makes their relationship seem more like a necessity carried by the visuals as opposed to the writing.

Jack shouldnt be alone, the entire fucking show is about duality you retard

holy shit how can you skew the intent of a show to fit your needs so much
that's why he was pretty much alone for the first four seasons right
No? The point of the first four seasons was he was forcing himself into solitude even though he had friends and allies that he had helped EVERYWHERE.
so what you're saying is, he was alone
He thought he was, but he wasn't
he was physically alone, just how he always should've been
you are so obsessed with your little fanfic where jack has to be eternally alone lol
well yeah i generally like it when good ideas come into play rather than shitty bad ideas written by manchildren
Yeah, and the idea that a girl and a guy travelling the world together who have similar upbringings and goals can't form a romatic connection is from the brain of a manchild.

But Jack is honorary, and as far as we know, Ashi is either white or an honorary herself.

No, they should. It's natural, interesting, and it makes sense.

It would be weirder for them to remain platonic

your opinion is a child's one

She is integral.

A love interest for jack adds to his character and the plot so much

and the way they pulled it off was flawless

Wouldn't this have the makings for a static character? Like, if he remained alone and didn't form an actual relationship and finally get over his solitude he wouldn't learn anything?

I hated that they dedicated an entire episode to it, but I wouldn't have had an issue if it was more subtle. Their relationship on the whole makes sense... Just not the way they executed it.

not necessarily

again, that assumes that a character can't be complete without a romantic partner, which is just silly

Well no, they can. But why is Samurai Jack limited from doing this?

Out of curiosity, what would you have preferred Season 5 try to accomplish?

I don't like the idea of romance at all in this show for reasons similar to Verb, but what made it really intolerable to me was the execution as you stated. I also think their relationship makes sense, even though I personally dislike it.

I would have preferred them to be platonic friends. The vibe I got from episodes prior to 6 was a Master/Apprentice relationship, which fits the show as a whole a lot better.

I miss Punished Jack.

Yeah, as long as you draw a distinction between shipping and simply wishing two characters would get together.

There are casual shippers who don't fight or make a big deal over their completely reasonable ship.

Then there's autists who do crack pairings, like Snake x Ocelot and you just wanna stay away.

Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are legitimately amazing.

It's still.worth watching, but this particular development is very divisive
