overall 2/10 season

let's all agree to never renew old shows again, especially if they're changing demographics

Oh fuck off, even if the ending wasn't good episodes 1-4 of this season were amazing.

I'll be buying it on blu-ray just for those.

SecondClass · May 21, 2017, 12:24:33 AM

Perfect ending to a perfect season, anyone who disagrees is wrong

all that needs to be said

Either the finale should have been an hour long, or there should have been more episodes.

I thought 1-4 were alright, but I was waiting for a good conclusion to elevate the show. I couldn't even get through all of it. That just kind of reflects on the entire show as mediocre at its best, and overall pretty bad in my eyes.
Cartoon Network now has a reputation for 'reanimating' dead shows, with pretty "limited" success. Is it really unwarranted that some people think CN should just stop doing it?

Mmmmm Napalm · May 21, 2017, 01:17:43 AM

I would have preferred this. It may be corny, but at least it would make the Aku-less future seem bright and happy, where the characters we love live happier lives. The current finale gives the impression that they just didn't exist. Jack didn't even get to say goodbye.

I did get emotional at the end, but not because I cared about Ashi at all. I became emotional because of the mood and overall presentation of that final scene (especially the last shot), and because I realized it was over. We'll never see any more of Jack's adventures. We'll never even see Aku again.

This may just be me, but I kind of wished he had stayed in the future. Maybe his ancestors could talk to him, and tell him that instead of living for long dead ghosts, he should live for the present, all of the friends he has made there, and endeavor to make the present world a better place to live in. Jack lives on, serving as a protector of peace and justice in the world.

I was more so commenting on the quality of season 5, not the phenomenon of reviving dead shows. I don't think it would have been better not to bring it back at all. Regardless of my feelings on the finale, this final season hasn't just provided me was some great episodes (1-4) to enjoy, it has given me great experiences.

This is the first time I have felt truly invested in a show, and I have had a wonderful time talking about it with others and so forth. I wouldn't give that up just because some episodes were of a lesser quality than others.

Mmmmm Napalm · May 21, 2017, 01:24:43 AM

Honestly I am far more saddened by Aku's demise than Ashi's.

He was such a joy to watch.

SecondClass · May 21, 2017, 01:25:21 AM

lmao the first episodes were the weakest

everything after episode 5 was when it started to get good

You seem to have enjoyed the first episodes quite a bit based on your posts. When did you start to dislike them?

Also there's no need to be so dismissive of those who hold different opinions. Any time somebody says somethingyou disagree with regarding this show you immediately dismiss their thoughts entirely and make a hyperbolic post saying how wrong they are for thinking differently.

SecondClass · May 21, 2017, 01:33:22 AM

I said weakest

they're still good

After realizing disliking them could start more arguments :^)

We will never know. Although he has been Jack for 50 years at this point, I'd say that might as well be his true name now.

Doctor Doom · May 21, 2017, 11:42:57 AM

Fucking shit way to piss away a happy ending at the last second.

The fuck was Genndy thinking?
