Name a more disappointing end to a badass character. I'll wait.
>>
Your father's bloodline
>>
Your Motherr's bloodline
>>
ALL WHO DARE OPPOSE THE GREAT AKU SHALL FALL
>>
>>92375112
>character
His entire character was "I'm black and I'm tough".
>>
>>92375166
>>92375190

So you're saying my father and mother are as badass as the guardian. Thanks
>>
>>92375166
>>92375190
a bloodline isn't a character, so this joke doesn't really work, anon
>>
>>92375246
>black
but he blue
>>
I still don't know why /co/ expected him and his portal to still be around, or Jack would've returned to take him on again ages ago instead of wandering around as Punished Jack.
>>
>>92375267
Damn, you've got me there.
>>
>Killed offscreen

Can't see a more dissapointing end, the only thing that comes to mind is Gohan but he's slowly coming back up
>>
If they want to do something about time portals he might still play some part (I don't know how). But it's more likely that Aku will transport Jack from there in the next episode.
Too bad we don't even have a flashback of his death scene.
>>
>>92375112
No, it being a disappointment is what added to it imo.

Such a badass character finished with just a whimper.
>>
>not even a flashback of Aku vs the Guardian

fuck this gay earth

You rang?
Know it's /tv/, but I'm still too mad to not display my butthurt at the first opportunity. That shitty show had one good thing going for it and they wasted it.
>>
Genndy always wanted to end the show with a movie, right?
He had such a vivid vision for a movie that he prefered to just leave the show open ended when making a movie became impossible, right?
I'm open to the possibility that the whole point of the guardian and the portal was just to have them be destroyed in that movie too, to raise the stakes. I mean we have seen it a million times in fiction, give the audiences hope so you can then crush it and make it hurt harder, but also make wathever victory the characters can find more meaningful.
>>
>>92375112

The Guardian is nothing but a power level shit. Only easily impressed retards found him entertaining at all.

They put up with you, didn't they?
>>
>>92381810
Do you think Gennedy is trying to mimic the tired "EVERYBODY DIES XDDDD" mantra that GoT did?
>>
>>92381946
If everybody dies then it's a GoT reference.
HUR DUR IMA STUPID
>>
>>92381810
Just when his plotline was going to git gud (in terms of them catching up to it in the books) they killed him off like an idiot
>>92376666
Honestly, everyhing with the last few seasons were cancer. Rip though.
>>
>>92382397
>HUR DUR IMA STUPID
Yes you are.

The everybody dies mantra that GoT uses is that "no character is safe": the main character might get his head chopped off seven episodes in, or the badass knight gets killed in a dark alley by a bunch of starving masked peasants, the good guys lose and the conniving bad guys always cheat and win. It made for interesting television but started to get ridiculous around season 5 and 6 when you had shit like Areo Hotah dying from a little girl stabbing him in the back with a butter knife.
>>
At least he addressed this plot point, even if it is a bit cheap to ditch it.

Besides, you'd be even more pissed if he appeared only to die about 30 seconds later.
>>
>>92375112
Pretty sure Aku's inevitable Death will be even more disappointing (especially if Ashi is the one who will finally do him in)
>>
>>92375112
They are still going to use the portal like the guardian predicted

He just wont be there to see it
>>
>>92382507
>Game of Thrones invented this trope
>No one else is allowed to use it or they're hacks, even if it is an entertaining concept
>No I can't give you a good reason why the Guardian should have survived after 50 years

You need to breathe more oxygen.
>>
>>92375112
i fucking called it. If he was in this episode then they wouldve showed him in the promo last week.

Gendy took us for a ride with ashi though imo. Set jack up to make it look like everything will go right and he ride off into the (future) sunset with his chimp,

Poor samurai virgin
>>
Why is the episode not on the website yet?
>>
>muh headcanon
>>
>>92382507
I keep forgetting show watches think this. It doesn't come off like that in books, because POV characters rarely die. I think Ned, cat, and Hotah are about it.

Freshly baked guardian meme.
.
>>
He had no chance. Sure he's a great warrior, but aku is near enough a god and invulnerable to anything that isn't divinely powered.
>>
only one thing on earth can harm aku, and the guardian didnt have it.
>>
>>92383516
Hotah isn't dead. All of the epilogue/prologue characters die, but those don't really count
>>
He cant beat aku so I dont know what you guys are upset for.

Only the sword can and the FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLISH SAMURAI WARRIOR lost it
>>
>>92382507
Shakespeare had been doing this centuries ago, you mongoloid. Hell, just go back a few thousand years to Ancient Greek tragedies and check again, you dingus.

I really tried to like it, I tried so hard
I can't anymore, it's just one disappointment after another
>>
>>92385122
So, based on this, what do y'all think happened?
He got punched in the face by Aku and died?
>>
>>92385122
>hehe, come later, foolish warrior when you're good enough to use portal
>*dies

wew
>>
>>92385299
He probably put up a great fight, but at the end of the day, no magic sword means he'd never win.
>>
>>92381861
Who's to say he wasn't adopted?
>>
>>92382888
>No I can't give you a good reason why the Guardian should have survived after 50 years
Him surviving forever against how many other threats that are shown dead everywhere around where he was ?
>>
>>92377328

My feeling was that eps 1-3 were an adaption of the Samurai Jack movie. It'd end with the daughters dying.

Alternatively, the movie is stretched out to become 10 episodes. Jack defeats the daughters, falls for Ashi, and then fights her in the end.
