>>91968914
Fans of the original series love it.

Bandwagon jumpers who got into the show naked hate that the rest of the episodes aren't muh cinematic muh kino like the first 3.

>>91968914
Watching Jack weekly with /co/ made me realize it will always find a way to hate everything.

People have been liking it long enough for the contrarians to notice and start hating it.

>>91968976
This

It's great if you watched the original years ago and just want a satisfying conclusion to it all.

If you JUST watched the entire series recently you'll get all pissy there's not enough "cinematography" or whatever the fuck the /tv/ hipsters say.

All of these are about right. I still think watching new episodes with /co/ every Saturday night has been the most fun I've had on here, though.

Remember that a large portion of /co/ also likes the DCEU and considers anybody who dislikes those movies to be contrarians.

In a word, don't take these things seriously. Half the people calling others bandwagoners are themselves bandwagoners.

/co/ hates it, but /co/ gradually gravitates to the planet of Hateseverything XIII, where life and even the geography has evolved to be pure hate of anything good on any level.

Thankfully some of us are up here on the Sensible Space Station (or the S.S.S) taking the show in stride. It's a bit rushed, doing a lot in 10 episodes. New girl, okay love it or hate it. Still the Jack goodness I remember (and it's cheeziness) while giving us a series finisher that we never thought we would get after over 14 fucking years of waiting.


Watch as the same happens to another series-topper that's coming out soon. Hey Arnold the Movie. /co/ is going to get all on the hypetrain but mid-way through the movie they're going to be on the board, posting why it was the biggest shit this year and the movie that ruined the show.

>>91968976
Wrong. I loved the original series but these last two episodes have been pretty bad. I don't think giving Jack a partner was the right move either.

It needed 15 to 20 episodes. Not 10. Too short. 5 for beginning jack, 5 more for jack to get his groove back and 5 more for finishing off aku.

At least Samurai Jack is finally getting it's ending.

>>91968914
>No forced romance garbage
It's not as bad as people think

We hate that it went from 10/10 best cartoon in years, all time great, can't wait for more, to 7/10, there are better things on TV, I won't remember this, and bad in places due to bad pacing.

>>91969135

Did you read this before you hit post.

I'm so tired of coming on /co/ and seeing you people bitch about Ashi every episode. For the tumblr of 4chan you guys sure do have issues with women.

>>91968914
I don't. It's better than the old series with the exception of season 3, which is pretty good considering every episode in that season was fucking outstanding.

I don't hate it but I'm pretty underwhelmed at this point. Most of the plot-lines that started off really promising in the first couple episodes have received disappointing and rushed conclusions

>ashi's mother
they all ended with duds.

>>91969710

I really liked it at first, but the pacing has really killed it for me. Things feel pretty rushed, especially in these last two episodes. It was a worry from the start, but I'm just hoping for a good ending at this point.

Hell no, where do you get your bait OP? Tell them their refrigerator is broken because this is stale

>>91969939
reddit loves mediocre stuff though. I am kinda mad that I have to sit through another 60 min of shit to see it end. In any other instance I would have dropped a show like that in the first episode.

Its very good so naturally /co/ must hate it.

Literally just a physical representation of Jack's desire to die and be with his family.
And Ashi's mother was a crazy cultist for Aku.
Its like saying we need an explanation for Jamestown's ending.

Not sure what about Jack's inner demons really needs resolving. They slowly disappeared as he found his purpose again.

The missing sword, well, shit, ill give you that.

Pretty sure the majority of /co/ loves it. Any /co/ users who don't, they typically have logical reasons for not personally liking it, or just have minor issues here and there. Typically nothing so ginormous that it makes them hate the show. Seems like a few stray posters from other boards stirring shit up.

I, for one, am constantly impressed by how good this show is week after week.

>>91969752

Why the fuck didn't Season 5 open with this scene? Since it opened with a time jump to everything having gone to hell, I thought they were going to force us to imagine how Jack lost his sword and his hope. Instead, towards the end of the season, they randomly drop a flashback sequence set right after the end of Season 4, with Jack losing his sword and his hope right before our eyes.

So what was the fucking point? Why not just open with this scene, and THEN flash to the future after the intro?

Reposting here because my thread got baleeted.

Was I the only one who laughed my ass off when the goat head-butt Jack and the top half of his clothes just exploded?

Any excuse to get that man half naked.

>>91972010
That would be dumb, the first episodes wouldn't have the same impact.

>>91972010
outside of the fact that you never start your series with a flashback or flashforward (that's just common bad writing), suspense. Jack losing it over thinking he killed the kids seemed jarring at first but then it's revealed that he's killed innocent things that were being controlled before it adds a new layer.

Yes but by the design of the character you can reasonably expect her to defeat an army of celtic demons.

to be honest, I wanted LESS plot and more kino things with a buildup, less dialogue and no waifubait

A lot of previous jack episodes have this archetypal feeling to them, the Hero has the escape a Beast, the Hero has to learn to fight blind, the Hero returns to his past home in ruins
there was no continuity between epsiodes, you could watch them in any order and not lose anything for the most part
I mean the birth of evil episodes are way way late in the series but they don't feel wrong. In the past children heard stories about a Hero, every night another story but usually you would want to hear a story again and it didn't matter in what order they were

>>91968976
Not that you arent right, but speaking as one of the 'muh cinematic kino' fags, all the rest of these assholes should have loved this episode!. Those harsh tonal shifts between Ashi murdering an army and her mom, and jack making tea, were a great way to grow each character in the same way but with very different tones. That was incredible!
Though I did like the original series for cinikino reasons. Especially season 4, god damn.

I'm gonna add Jack holding the glowing sword behind them. Then I'll make the third guy from the left one of those army guys being impaled. Not sure what else I could add besides those without making it too cluttered.

I won't start the hate until I see the last episode.

what kind of stupid argument is "you didn't watch the original so you don't get it"?
if something is fucked then it should be pointed out, why does the mayority think that because I've watched the original 4 season I'll immediately like the newer season?

personally I don't like it and I'm not crazy about Ashi either.
Jack should get over his depression, find his sword, kill Aku and either stay in the future or fuck off to the past. I can't believe some sheep are the reason for the loss of his sword, what was his other option other than kill the demon sheep? get killed?

Why post opinions when you can keep em to yourself rather than being a dick head or a dick sucker?
Literally no one cares about anything or people say regardless (hence this post).

>>91972269
No. The majority of the story takes place 50 years later. So when the story starts it should start in this period. if they started with how jack lost his sword it'd be disjointed from the rest. Starting after jack has lost the sword and finding out how when jack relives it as opposed to knowing because eyes of god. Also telling a story in order is natural however if your story has a timeline you don't start a minor point then jump to the other side of the chart for the story. You start at the rest of the story and look back or forward.

The situation was an animu tier misunderstanding. Her contribution was meaningless.
The kids weren't dead, the ghost didn't even make a rebuttal when that was pointed out it just continued being an antagonist to service the scene. It was a sham. Just like the sword ditching him because of a situation he had no control of, and the gods neglecting to rise him up in his darkest moment even though they did so for his father without fuss or delay.

Ghost Jack was right, after everything they've gone through and done and it's just dismissed or distorted.

>>91973332
Oh fuck off it wasn't that boring

WEB-DL FUCKING WHEN?

>>91968914
Yes. Every plot point should have had a whole episode dedicated to it. Proper pacing means you spend a long period of time on everything to flesh it out. If we had a longer season this wouldn't be a problem and we could have dedicated 5 episodes to Jack fighting the Omen like we should have gotten.

>>91973396
>5 episodes to Jack fighting the Omen
Fuck right off.

>>91968914
I don't hate it, but I'm over the novelty of the new season and I've stopped watching the episodes as they come out. I say this as a big fan of the original series.

I couldn't even really tell you why I lost interest in it. The first 4 episodes were good and I was really into it, but after that they just stopped doing it for me.

>>91973414
He's mocking the anons who think the Omen fight was too short.

>>91973366
I have no idea what you're talking about.

>>91973414
You fuck off. The Omen should have had a proper send-off for all of the build-up instead of getting one-shot. We needed at least two episodes of him fighting it. As I said, proper pacing would mean every single plot point, no matter how small, has an entire episode dedicated to it. Case and point: the flashback of how he lost his sword. That alone should have been an episode.

So what's your issue? The killing machine from childhood being able to take out a bunch of level 1 goons and the old washed up hag that raised her? She's still nowhere near Jack's level. Aku's hate filled future has tons of strong warriors. Why is she a Mary Sue? She's just got all her points in combat. She's emotionally and socially stunted, let her have her shining moment in combat, fuckwad.

I just finished watching the latest episode, and while I understand the minor things that tick people off like how Ashi just defeated all those soldiers with brute force instead of dexterity and agility, I actually quite enjoyed it.

I know, the pacing is too fast at times and you want the show to take its time, that can't be helped since this season is restricted to 10 episodes and I'm sure Genndy would've loved to have more and properly balance the show, but Season 5 is fine as it is. It's probably just this board being rampant with /co/ntrarians, but maybe they're voicing their nitpicks too hard as major flaws, I wouldn't be so harsh on them unless if they really do want to complain about every little thing.

i don't hate it, but as it seems right now old fans will probably only want to see the last 2 eps and skip all the ones this season before then. jack's arc and ashi's inclusion added nothing besides filler and maybe a possible love interest.

>>91972899
>>91973357
If you don't recognize that fucking graveyard and understand that that ghost NEVER had Jack's well being or honor in mind then let me try to shed some light. Jack has been broken because he's lost hope. Jack considers animals almost as important as people. He killed those baby goats in the flashback, and felt horrible for it. Then killed the followers of Aku. The children "dying" in the factory was the last straw, yeah, but it's been a long road of him considering honorable suicide. The ghost preyed upon that, because it's from the haunted graveyard Jack did battle with in previous seasons of the show. This season has a habit of showing how past experiences come back to Jack, both in good, and bad ways. The ghost samurai is a bad way.

So the whole plot point about not having a sword... that AKU could totally kill Jack in a heartbeat if he didn't have it... completely gone because he ZenMeditated on a mountain. Bullshit 0/10

>>91968976
I wouldn't say I am fan of the original as I quickly marathoned the original show slightly before S5. I was procrastinating for years because I didn't want Jack to become yet another great show with no conclusion.

I think you about summed it up, episode 4 was a really great throwback and people who hate it clearly have never seen the original or simply forgot what the original was. I do think episodes 5 and 6 have legitimate flaws, but just as not so great episodes of original show, they have something worth watching as well.

>>91973332
>>91973366
He isn't implying it's boring, he made the guy on the far right meditate to imitate Jack's meditation and visit to the monk. Just look at the wooden handle in his arm, that's the same one Jack used to scoop hot water from the pot to the cup.

Anyone else disappointed that Jack reverted back to his old appearance? Especially since that episode in the old seasons depicted him with a beard in full samurai armour in the future in which he was ready to defeat Aku. I guess the show might get back to that point but it seems unlikely.

>retards complaining that they think Ashi will be chosen by the sword for being pure and true and having not murdered anyone in her life and that the show will turn into SJW shit
>ignoring her training where she had to kill, jumped the gun before seeing her murder an army of monsters before throwing an arrow into her mothers withered womb and throwing her off a fucking mountain

Reactionists need to shot on sight

>>91969596
Long story short: it doesn't have the appeal of the original show at all, and is more like a generic anime with extra styling.

The original had great choreography to bring fights to action, this one just has fights. The original was set in a worse-off, practically alien, but rarely depressing and often lighthearted world, this one puts grimdark in every episode. The original was all about how Jack is the embodiment of hope and never giving up, this one's Jack is... nothing like that. And worst of all, the original had Aku as a regular character, this one has him in a cameo role.

I'm going to agree that it's not BAD, but only in the sense that a generic anime usually isn't bad either. It's very disappointing though.

So there's the shot for Aku's portion of the Matryoshka doll.
Just before he modified the little rams.

So this could be the one and only time for that, but I feel this beefs up my theory Aku can and may mind warp and juice up Ashi to kill Jack now that he has the sword back.

>>91973599
In retrospect, I wonder how /co/ felt about that episode. The Daughters of Aku were pretty much a rehash of the Ultra bots but stretched out over 3 episodes. I guess /co/ would call that episode rushed now.

>>91973698
Modern /co/ would flip the fucking table over a lot of shit if Samurai Jack was aired today.

>>91973689
>The original was all about how Jack is the embodiment of hope and never giving up, this one's Jack is... nothing like that
That was the whole point of the season you mong. It's him slowly but surely recovering his faith and realizing that he has given hope to thousands. I swear it's like you didn't even watch episode 6, an entire episode proving you wrong.

>>91973689
This is a lot of goddamn bullshit

>>91969037
I think the point most are driving at is that it isn't a satisfying conclusion, it doesn't feel like it's in the universe at all. I guess a conclusion was always going to be a problem in a show that was originally just different writers making single ep plots, but there are a lot of concepts they could explore. What if Jack goes back to a past before his birth and has the oppurtunity to kill his father and prevent the awakening?

>>91969762
I disagree. I mean, it didn't have a RUSHED conclusion, but when you think back on it, it was basically nonsense. The premise made sense (the sword left Jack because he killed an innocent), the conclusion made sense (Jack overcame his dark side and the sword was given back to him), but the entire middle did not. I mean, he medidated on it, and in his meditation, he... made some tea for a monk, and the monk didn't like it, and then Jack's dark side got angry, and then Jack got rid of him in literally a minute without anything to do with the monk or the tea or anything that happened in the rest of the episode. As far as meditation sequences go, that was basically "How is meditation typically represented in martial arts-y movies? Let's just do that", when it should've been "Jack spends the meditation period with his dark side and only in the end realises that he must get back his hope and optimism".

>>91973725
Well duh. I'm not saying it's a plot hole or it doesn't make sense, I'm saying why it's not as good as the original.

>>91973758
The dark side is the problem with that plotline, not the meditation or the sword. It's claimed that Jack lost his way but when did we ever see him acting unjustly or doing anything different from when he had the sword? Aku has made minionms attack him countless times and he's destroyed them and the sword was willing. Jack was also portrayed as something other than his dark side, he never acted on it.

>>91973735
>kill his father and prevent the awakening?
Wat?
First of all there's no need for him to kill his dad to stop that, he could just speak to him, the Emperor was a reasonable man.
Secondly preventing Aku's awakening would likely only result in the ultimate evil slowly growing until it consumed the planet.

Jack plunging the sword in it would have hurt it likely, but seeing how the much more massive and powerful gods themselves had to really work their ass off to just damage the Ultimate Evil before they could destroy it, chances are it would have just turned into a forest of blades and tore Jack apart. The Emperor himself only managed to seal Aku the first time because he was in one place and piece, more or less, until he split into the army of one and Aku underestimated him. The ultimate evil gave Odin, Ra and Rama no such quarter.

Ashi felt no fucking remorse over killing her damn mother and brushed it off like it was nothing. She also doesn't view Jack as her sisters killer... I'm fine with her being redeemed but at least show that she's SOMEWHAT uncomfortable with her family's death.

>>91973802
>Emperor was a reasonable man

Exactly, it isn't a clear cut issue and it's obvious that as Aku the ultimate evil is a lot more influential and drives people to evil whereas as a raw form it is just a force of pollution.

In any case there's a lot of directions you could take a 'conclusion' if that is what we will get. Jack will have to face up to losing everything he's built if he travels back in time since Aku is a part of it all so perhaps there's a good episode coming up dealing with that.

>>91973863

Ashi's character makes no sense.

People don't change that much, and people are MUCH more likely do doudble down.

>>91973863
well women don't tend to be totally loyal probably because of social instincts from typical primate groups where the females just accept a new dominant male over an older but weaker male and will bully and harass other related females for better social positions. Also if a culture was conquered it's females either submitted or died whereas the men would be totally wiped out in the defence. Classic example is french women being shamed for shacking up with Nazi soldiers.

Still Ashi's upbringing was hardly about being familial and once she recognised what her sisters were I imagine she'd only despise her mother even more.

>>91973891
It's spoonfed for you

>Ashi believe Aku was god and made the beautiful world she loved
>She cared for even the smallest insect, like Jack
>When she learns the Samurai is not evil and that Aku is the one destroying the world it's easy for her to shift her priorities because her overall heroic intentions are still present.

>>91973863
This is a better complaint. Well, not with her mother. She had always been a horrible figure and Ashi never even saw her face. It was easy for her to fight and kill her.

But I'm surprised we haven't seen her angsting over her sisters. They never had a chance.

it was better when jack was alone. that's why i liked it, the loneliness of the main char and the vastity of the landscapes

>>91973797
>Aku has made minionms attack him countless times and he's destroyed them and the sword was willing.

The implication is that he never before actually struck his enemies in anger and with desire to kill, the three goats were the first. The sword, being a divine weapon, didn't like it.

>>91974271
you are so fucking stupid i swear to god
ashis sisters werent the first humans jack fought, when jack fought mercenaries he let them live.
Difference with ashis sisters being jack couldnt just beat them and let them go away because they got trained to fight jack to death.
Those mercenaries could have fucked off after a beating, not that im ok with ashi beating an entire army with her fists but to be fair thats also bullshit if jacks the one doing it but at least jack is the hero of time with the magic sword

>>91972490

also Would it be possible to get that reaction image with the april fools joke?

I still like it, but I feel like it could be a lot better than it is. If only it had more episodes everything wouldn't feel so rushed.

Theres no way Ashi could have defeated all those enemies and then her mother. Why not just call it feminist strong wimmen Ashi instead of Samurai Jack. Thanks tumblr and cal arts.

I have mixed feelings on the latest episode. It was cool and hackish at the same time. Jack losing his sword on the same day the final time portal was destroyed was a bit of a hack move. Plus those rams are cuter than they should be. Rams are adults, they shouldn't look as cute as lambs. Jack could have used a rope to look for the sword. Aishi somehow beasting an entire army with brute force is so full of shit. She's like 90lps. Also, why the fuck was the mom there, did she come with the army? Jack being transformed back into classic Jack was unnecessary.

But, Jack got his sword back and killed his alter ego. I'll give it a little more of a pass for it having to be 10 episodes long.

>>91977660
Utter revulsion, because we'd have to deal with Scrapper in each and every Jashi thread.

>>91968914

it's popular so we need the contrarian base as usual.

I've loved all episodes with the exception of the last one, it was OK.

The beginning flashback was great though.

This is spot on.
This is exactly how I feel. I'm very mixed on the episode myself

>>91975921
Fucking this. All the shitposting came down to "If I did a Samurai Jack season, it would be much better than Genndy is doing." bullshit.

>>91968914
Its too rushed. Cramming story into ten episodes makes it too fast and rushed.

It's just so fucking rushed. Everything has been moving at a breakneck pace to get everything done in ten episodes and it's dragging the whole thing down.

It was really dumb. Are we supposed to believe that Aku didn't check on Jack at least once after that day? I would thought he lost the sword long after Aku lost interest in his pointless wandering.

>>91968914
I don't hate it, and I defended it until now, but there has been a noticeable drop in quality from the first 3-4 episodes and it dove off a cliff with this last one.

It's not "irredeemable shit" yet, but you'd have to be a pretty huge apologist to claim there hasn't been a quality drop.

>>91979036
I blame Ashi. The show would be better paced if she died in episode 3 allowing the plot some breathing room

>>91979140
this, sadly.

>>91971181
Well one seventh of a group that almost killed Jack

>>91968976
Haters are fans of the original series. Only those that didn't jump in SJ with reboot would complain about the show being different now and being shit for adding Ashi. To a newfag, SJ is just another run-in-the-mill action cartoon.

I like it.

I just don't get it. If Genndy based Samurai Jack on his dreams of killing mutants in post-apocalyptic Earth alongside his gf, why didn't he introduce Ash in the original series? Why wait till now and alter the premise so much?

These two posts hit the nail on the head for me. After four seasons of Aku checking in at random to see what Jack is up to the notion that he wouldn't check in again just to keep tabs on the only entity that could ever kill him seems silly.

The transformation back to his old self is sort of trite but I can ignore it.

But honestly Ashi defeating an entire army by herself in such a hamfisted manner just seems so over the top. I get what they're going for but it betrays the overarching tone we were introduced to in the beginning of the season.

I'm going to watch the season to the end because I'm invested and there's only a few episodes left but I'm admittedly disappointed in the tonal shift more than anything else.

>Why is she a Mary Sue? She's just got all her points in combat. She's emotionally and socially stunted, let her have her shining moment in combat, fuckwad.
her problems never come up as real negatives. Her flaws are literally unrelated to anything real, which is a textbook mary sue trait.

>>91979432
Maybe it was in his original pitch but Cartoon Network rejected it?

Now he has the freedom to do whatever he wants...it's the George Lucas problem.

The new season is the best Samurai Jack has ever been. Please fucking end yourselves.

If you must know, I am a one of /yourguys/. And there is no tumblr tier shit here. She was a trained soilder her entire life having her kill a bunchh of dumb orcs makes total sense. If she was a mary sue, then why does Jack have to save her constantly. We saw this multiple times in episode 4 and again in the last one. /pol/ has become increasing autistic for the past four weeks, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of /ourguys/ would posing something this retarded. For those who don't know, there has been a civil war going on there where everyone is now calling each other shills.

Incorrect, Im a fan and I love it

>>91968976

Autistic fans of the original series love it. People with taste, who were also fans of the original series, rightfully hate it for being a blatant pandering cringey nostalgiafest with terrible writing.

>>91968914
Is samurai jack becoming the next MLP?

It's almost like someone realized that spamming the same thread over and over might generate some (You)s.

Shitposting like that makes me envy /jp/. They actually know what "report and ignore" means, and their mod is usually on the ball when shitspamming happens.

>>91968976

This. It's easy to tell who's an oldfag who grew up on it and who's a newfag who binged the netflix series as a grown adult and immediately started trying to nitpick things because they're in the phase of their life when they can't stand people in their groups having opinions they don't.

Or people talking about anything at. That's how 4chan normally works. If more than 3 threads exist about something, contrarian 4chan immediately starts hating and railing against. But there are all these threads sometimes because it's meme-posting shit like >>91982918 where I admit gets obnoxious and fuels the contrarian backlash.

But again, it feels like memeposters are the same kids who were too young to watch the original in the first place too. Their entire analysis of any creative endeavor is how they can use it to most the meme of the moment on 4chan.

This.

The "cult bitches" were human, jackass. Mad Jack even makes emphasis on the fact that Jack never killed a human. After that, and after giving a choice to the sisters, Jack resolved to kill them anyway because they arguably wouldn't stop hunting him otherwise.

>>91974369
Thank you. The new series is good and has good content, but it all goes by so quickly you don't have time to savor it.

Ideally we could've had an arrangement like the first season, with 10 episodes leading up to the ending and the last 3 episodes being the feature-length movie to top it all off. It would've made good, proper book-ends.

>>91978041
>Aishi somehow beasting an entire army with brute force is so full of shit. She's like 90lps.

This complaint wouldn't exist if Jack did the exact same thing, despite not weighing much more than her to justify it. It's brute strength, yes, but she has been shown to be rather powerful. Also, gravity is doing most of the work in the first few seconds

>>91983401
Needs something of the gods.

I don't understand some people's logic here. I grew up on the original series, I remember waiting for new episodes and watching the promos.

I remember those memories fondly; but why do people feel that everyone who grew up with the original series must love all the episodes and give them 10/10 ratings? I adored Episode 6 but I'm very mixed on Episode 7, that doesn't mean I feel the series is ruined. Sure I wish things were different, but that doesn't mean I can't critique it.

Because that's exactly what /co/ complains about. If you're new to these threads, fine, but don't act like that's not the case

>Actually caring about what /co/ntrarian thinks
>Not forming your own opinion
I unironically think you are a waste of space on this planet

I caught random episodes of the original run off and on as a kid, and fucking love the new season. But I don't partake in the Samurai Jack threads here because they're an embarrassment, and instead of focusing on what's great about the new season people are nitpicking stupid shit like power levels, shipping and other trivial aspects that only fucking greasy autismos would ever obsess over or care for.

People should be grateful the fifth season exists in the first place, instead of using it to incite wars, label it as le SJW boogeyman pandering, or wishing Genndy hadn't even bothered.

"Jack’s first villain, Scaramouche, with his flamboyant dress and mannerisms which include ending every sentence with “babe,” reads as somewhat tone deaf and homophobic. The portrayal of samurai seems to be rooted in a Wikipedia level understanding of the historical figure and feels appropriative at times. While this season introduces the strong, nuanced female character of Ashi, women’s bodies are often depicted as hyper-sexual, a fact made uncomfortably clear by the daughters of the Scotsman in the latest episode. The show has wandered into this territory before, most notably with the character of “Da Samurai” in the fourth season, who was nothing more than a racist caricature."

http://yaleherald.com/reviews/tv-samurai-jack/

at first, it was gonna be a movie, most likely no longer than 2 hours. movies based on shows normally include some new element, a new threat, a new supporting character. most likely no longer than 2 hours.

then genndy decided/was convinced to make a new season of 10 episodes instead, which helped him expand some of his ideas, flesh out some scenes, etc. we most likely wouldn't have gotten stuff like jack and the wolf, the great pacing on the scene with the tombs with just a movie, again, most likely 2 hours long.

this story was designed to jack FINAL journey. as far as i know, in no moment it was considered to make a new season just like the old ones. can you imagine if it does poorly in the ratings, genndy doesn't get a second season and we don't get an ending AGAIN? i command genndy for deciding to just finish his story instead of doing the same formulaic stuff all over and over without any kind of character growth, just look at the x files.

>10 episodes story arc meant to be the final step of jack's journey
vs
>10 episodes season where 9 is filler and maybe a final episode with an anticlimactic battle with aku

this season is the best option.

>>91984195
Like if anything this guy doesn't understand samurai culture.

Da Samurai was a traditional samurai with a lord. They were SUPPOSED to brag and them eating shit was a huge part of Japanese peasant theater because it was the only release they had from the absolute power these strange, arrogant warriors had over their lives.

Also not getting a fucking Sammy Davis Jr reference is this guy an actual child.

>Jack losing his sword on the same day the final time portal was destroyed was a bit of a hack move.
I can give you that, at least.
>>91979086
This guy makes a good point about it.
Plus that whole green aura in the first flashback was a red herring - I thought Jack lost his sword because of the Omen (which would make sense, not that the current way doesn't make sense).

>Plus those rams are cuter than they should be.
It's a cartoon future ram, dude, don't think too hard about it.

>Jack could have used a rope to look for the sword.
Even with the bird, Jack had to stop for a break halfway down. It would've had to be a long-ass rope.
On top of that, Jack implied he lost the sword because he wasn't worthy to use it anymore. He probably didn't go after it because he knew the sword would just reject him if he tried.

>Aishi somehow beasting an entire army with brute force is so full of shit.
I'll give you this, too. Every time Jack's taken on armies, he does so with a lot of weapons and preparation, or simply allies at his back. Ashi had neither, and still wrecked everyone and her mother without a scratch on her.

>Also, why the fuck was the mom there, did she come with the army?
One of the good ideas I heard was that the matriarch was tracking Ashi and Jack, and used that army as a distraction so she could sneak up and kill Jack herself. That makes sense to me, but take it however you will.

>Jack being transformed back into classic Jack was unnecessary.
Maybe a little. Jack's father went through the exact same sequence as well, though, so it's not like it's happened before. I would've like to see a more gradual transformation, though, don't get me wrong.

>>91971263

I love samurai jack but I didn't like Ashi solo'ing a whole ork army by herself, other than that the episode was kino

Don't try to think about it too much. They clearly didn't.

Instead, let's just appreciate that there is an animated TV show that can make you deeply invested in watching a 70 year old man make imaginary tea.

>>91969541
So you want filler?

>>91988617

Yes, more scenes of Jack making tea. Maybe an episode where he rolls sushi or makes some chicken teriyaki in a wok.
