>tfw Scotsman was never born

>>92637807
How exactly Aku not existing means that Scotsman was never born? Seriously he isn't his spawn and he wasn't birthed and raised for the purpose of killing Aku

>>92637807

Yes he was born, if you pay attention the land in where he lived never seemed to be affected by Aku at all, it was beautiful.


People don't know that even Aku had his limits, that he never traveled every single inch of the planet, etc

>>92637874
Why are you guys so dense?
The events that lead to the Scotsman's ancestors even meeting are unlikely to happen in a drastically changed future.

Yet Ashi still disappeared. If not for that, I would've not minded, since that meant the future still existed as an alternate timeline. Honestly, all of this could've been so easily fixed if Jack had destroyed Aku in both the past and the future.

>>92638348
Yeah...no. Given the fact that Aku is now gone and the world is a much safer place not being ruled by an immortal evil tyrant the scots clan wouldn't have a need to be living inside a fortress castle. They wouldn't be the same huge, muscular, sword wielding, battle hardened red heads we know them as because that's what Aku's future made them to be. They'd be regular people working jobs as teachers, firemen, accountants etc.

The scotsman could potentially still exist but he wouldn't be the same person we know him to be. He wouldn't need to be carrying around a sword and have a machine gun leg. He'd probably either be a farmer or working a deskjob

>>92638192
Because Ashi was literally created by Aku, Aku played no part of the birth of the scotsman.

>>92638549
But Scottsman was born in AKu's Future.

>>92638424

The curse of normalfaggotry. What a dreadful and uninspired fate. Although as a farmer he might still have some of his old traits, but it wouldn't be the same...

>>92638009
Scots are not vikings

>>92638577
True, but Scotland and the Scots in Aku's future seem to be far better than our IRL commie Scots.

>>92638567
What makes you think he wouldn't have born without Aku?

>>92638602
Maybe some ugly ass drunk viking shagged his great-great-great x 20 scottish granny.

>>92638549
I feel like you idiots have zero imagination. The probability of you yourself being born even in the event of your parents conceiving is infinitesimally tiny. The chances of that specific sperm breaching that egg is small. Easily someone who would have been your biological brother or sister would have been born and you would have never existed. Imagine how different the lives of others you encountered would be. Imagine millions of other people never being born and very different people being born. Imagine how this would be a chain reaction of different encounters marriages and people walking around. Imagine if bumping into Hitler's father annoyed him and he had sex with his wife 3 seconds later than would have happened in the original timeline and instead they concekved a baby girl. What are the chances any of the seven billion people alive would be the same exact people if that happened.

They went to save jack from getting killed, I thought that was obvious. Has nothing to do with accepting they will cease to exist.

>>92637807
I would've also liked it if Jack stayed in the future, but I take solace in the fact that The Scotsman + everybody else Jack met knew that going back in time would erase them, but they went to break him out of Aku's shackles anyway because they wanted to repay him and wanted to free the future from Aku.
Aku had explained that Jack wanted to "Undo the future that is Aku" live across the entire earth.

What if they make a new season of Samurai Jack and address this? I mean having the timeline split and have Jack go back to the future to save them and Ashi could work. SJ was a huge success after all so maybe they will milk it.

Two of the main deities of Jack's world are heavily linked with forms of reincarnation. Possibly all three but reincarnation in Norse myth seems like a stretch and obviously the mythology of Jack subscribes to Valhalla complete with Valkyries.
It doesn't really matter that they don't exist, they already exist in some form. They simply won't become that specific iteration of themselves but regardless they will always be.

The gameplay itself was pretty stupid. Most encounters could be skipped. Stat distribution was completely random. Things like field effect and the RNG heavy combat weren't fun. There was zero attachment to be had for any of the characters besides a few due to the sheer unnecessary number of them.

Do warriors still exist 1000 years from Jack's time? What if Jews just took over and people are just living in blissful complacency? I don't want Jack's world turning into the shitty watered down present.

just one of many plot holes with tie travel anon

>>92639942
He did, he's ashi remember?

>>92637874
Do you people seriously not understand anything about time travel? If the timeline is linear then everything that happened after Jack was sent to the future was completely erased after he came back. Even if the same people were born in the new timeline, which is unlikely, they would be completely different people with completely different lives. He literally erased millions from existence and replaced some of them with timeline clones.

Was the Future That is Aku a truly multicultural paradise?

>>92639739
Culturally speaking, the Emperor of Japan was broing it up with African Bushmen, Saudi Kings, and Robin Hood. Also Magic both exists and is regularly utilized by the people of the world. Our worlds are not the same.

>>92637807
What makes you think he'll never be born? Anything could happen in the future

>>92637932
Unlikely, not impossible

>>92639961
If Ashi could do it, and she's Aku, then why couldn't Aku, who's Aku, do it as well?

Rhetorical question. The answer is that they only had 22 minutes and decided not to give us a satisfying conclusion.

>>92638938
As if Scotsman knew what was about to go down.

Who didn't go completely "wait, what in the..?" when Ashi just blurts out "OH I CAN" and instantly teleports back in time? Everything past the attack on Aku was really, really, rushed. Fuckers even pulled a Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann on us with Ashi. I liked the bit of sadness it gave but since it all happened in the span of ~2 minutes it hardly did a meaningful impact.

>>92639968
More like a multicultural hellhole.
Bad shit happens on a daily basis no matter where you go or who you are in the future that is aku. You could get turned into a fucking chicken if you just happenel to bump into the wrong guy

>>92640008
>Fuckers even pulled a Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann on us with Ashi
Which didn't even make sense. Does that mean Ashi disappeared at the same time as Aku in the future, or does it mean that repairing paradoxes takes the universe some time so she could fucking plan a wedding and they could rebuild their kingdom after Aku destroyed it?

Not even the scene of literally destroying Aku was satisfying, rushed or not.

Quite miffed about the whole thing really.

>>92640071
Well no, that's actually a problem. Because if it took that long for Aku to vanish in the future, that means he was there, alone, with no Jack, and no sword, and knowledge of his imminent demise, and nothing to take his unfathomable rage out on except all of Jack's friends and allies and the entire solar system.

>>92640119
Says who?

>>92640064
Only critisicm I have with the original is Genndy making Aku too stronk. I get that he's a powerful force of nature and all but making invincible to everything in the world but Jack's sword was overkill.

>>92640058
You serious? Do you seriously believe that?

This. Holy fuck. Jack doesn't fight Aku, he just slashes his already weakened past self a few times and then stabs the sword into a rock with him inside, which someone causes the whole tower to explode.

Really the whole thing was a rushed, halfassed shitshow.

>>92640016
Notice that the more multicultural areas were the real shit holes, yet the areas dominated by a single species or cultural group where relatively peaceful until foreign invaders arrived. Woolies got blue monkey aliens. Spartans got robot minotaurs. Blue Monkeys had Red Gorillas. And those that weren't victims too such but were peaceful only had an issue with robots due to a rebel presence or Aku testing out a scheme or just trolling them, like hypnotizing the kids of that peaceful village or sinking the Triceraquins.

Also notice that the robot city of Metropolis was pretty damn great before they built that ultimate robot, and 50 years later they're better than ever.

>>92637874
*sigh*
Let me break it down for you.

The future in that timeline, came to be entirely because of Aku's influence.

Since Jack went back in time and killed him, that removed every single event that led up the that point. Which means there would be no aliens, robot bounty hunters, or cyber punk scottish warriors.
It's basic time travel logic.

>>92640152
>Implies

CELTIC MAGIC, LADDIE

>Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
That shit sucked tho, just like the loose ends in s5 of SJ, ya weeb cunt.

>>92640133
Honestly I would have went further. Like make it so that instead of sitting there like a retard, Aku goes back into the past and merges with his past self, becoming so stupidly strong that the sword can no longer permanently injure him. So Jack needs the help of Ashi and a final act of the gods to make his sword strong enough to kill the new super Aku. Or some shit. I dunno.

The point is the destruction of the main villain carried with it no tension or suspense. There isn't even a cathartic release from Jack, who just screams a little and finishes him off in 15 or so seconds.

>>92640088
>"No, no its ok because now people in a totally different timeline you'll never know get to be happy"
>"But dad, we were happy here. Aku was about to die. We could have built a better future here"

>>92640150
Yes because magic wasn't being widely used. You didn't see everyone running around using magic to help them with their daily lives, it was used mostly in the future and only a few people used anything magical in the past. With aku gone, magic is just gonna be forgotten and jack's story will become folk lore/ a myth

>>92640071
Blame Adult Swim's faggotry.

>>92640064
I wish the bagpipe one had more screentime.

>>92640036
They were obviously much more than simple educators of his children.
>>92640058
Let's be real, the whole show was for the sake of the story. The point is there's no real reason that Jack with his direct experiences with concepts that are literally alien to the people of his time and his vast connections to the global world couldn't affect the course of history.
Not to mention Jack's time could be from anywhere from the twelfth century to the 19th so just disregarding something that could be practically modern history as myth would be asinine.

>>92640165
Ashi should have been replaced with Flora.

>>92640186
No longer exists, thanks to Jack.

>>92640128
Who cares, they were literally wiped from existence.

They delayed the time for Ashi to vanish purely to mess with Jack at the worst possible time anyway, it's just symbolic emotional stuff. Trying to link it to the future people is pointless.

>>92640187
I just mentioned these two series shared a similar event.
>That shit sucked tho
Ok?

Celtic magic existed before Jack was even born, retard.

>>92640186
>No shot of Scotsman showing up as a ghost with his daughters
Was anyone else kind of hoping when they saw there was a good five minutes left between the credits beginning and the next show that we'd get a stinger with a Scotsman joke?

>>92640133
Actually, the elementals also had a negative effect on Aku, and he also feared some ancient relics. I feel as though it would've been better if Aku could be harmed and even defeated temporarily by other means but never truly destroyed, unless its by the sword. Would've made the battle between him and the army more interesting and less one sided. Heck, even the first time he fought the Triceraquins was more interesting and not so one-sided.

After being horribly tortured and murdered by Aku for days, weeks, or possibly months. Seems like a pretty shitty ending for all his friends and allies. Assuming that's what happened.

>Trying to link it to future people is pointless
The whole thing was pointless, literally. The problem is that these questions can now be asked because Genndy decided to rip off GL instead of just having Ashi die after Aku.

The samurai jack universe is not internally consistent. The future could be erased the same second Aku dies in the past and still have Ashi around for x amount of time before vanishing.

Trying to convey an emotional scene was obviously more important than making time shenanigans act "correctly".

Did Aku really murder half the planet though? It seemed more dominated and enslaved than painted red with gore paste.

Even Jack's parents were alive in the future.

This right here should shut down down all the complaints about the delay. There's a fuck ton of complaints you can make about the rushed mess of a finale but this isn't one of them.

>>92640447
>Even Jack's parents were alive in the future.
I think you mean the past's timeskip. His parents are only seen as deceased spirits in seasons 1 - 4. But yeah, Aku was more concerned with having people respect him and obey him when needed rather than go on a rampage for no reason.

>>92638602
>scots
Literally viking rape babies.

>>92640487
Oh yeah, you're right. It was after his training was complete and all that jazz he found his..mom at least.

In any case, they weren't slaughtered despite being what caused Aku most grief and were closest to him after sending jack away.

To which year, month, day, second? Ashi knew the exact destination, he did not.

>>92640132
Time travel logic, butterfly effect, ashi disappearing, etc.

Deal with it.

>>92640447
Aku only destroys you if you resist his rule or displease him. Honestly Aku rules the world as if he were protection racketeering. Notice throughout the series all the bad shit that happens to people happen to those who live OUTSIDE of aku's cities

>>92640584
Ashi shouldn't have known the exact time or place because Jack never told her he just described his life before Aku. Aku however should've instantly known he was going back to kill him right after he threw jack in time because that was when he was weakest.

>>92640284
Well pastfags got what they wanted, a sloppy, greasy trough of contrived shit. Enjoy!

>>92640653
Always wondered what Aku would had done without Jack. Is the endgame to just rule a planet effortlessly forever while bullying people every now and then?

I'm pretty sure the gods would have a fit if he started spreading to other planets though.

>>92640398
Those lives all got to go to the afterlife though.

You literally have no moral high ground or argument.

>>92640653
Indeed. And even those who live outside his cities rarely actually do suffer unless they're compliant. I mean, look at those raver kids, they were probably part of the same gen that were rebellious towards Aku, like in Aku's Fairy Tales, and so he hypnotized them to teach them a lesson. And the Triceraquins and other fallen civilizations that were victims seem to completely ignore him or rebel against him, which warrants an attack. And look at that cowboy town. Its pretty damn untouched as well as the Scotsman's highlands. Aku seems more concerned with just messing with other planets since he's already trolled the earth as much as he could. Also, there seems to be more untouched nature under his rule.

>>92640031
>repairing paradoxes takes to universe some time
Probably. Aku and the people in the future died/disappeared almost instantly, since the timeline collapsed around them.
Ashi was in a stable timeline, but was slowly being rejected by it since her existence is impossible.

>>92640695
Aku could have used his power about a hundred times, yet he did not. Headcanon? He cannot use it often, or maybe even once.

>>92640726
What about all the people that never got to be born to go into the afterlife because their parents were killed or worked to death? You have literally no moral ground to stand on.

>>92640704
Aku's goal was pretty... ''generic' I might say. He's an evil tyrant that wants to rule the world that's it.
.

>>92640794
>unless they're not compliant.
FTFM

>>92640704
Indeed. Aku seems to not be as destructive to earth now that he's basically in control, but if he starts fucking with the galaxy as a whole, a shitstorm will form, not just from the gods, but possible rivals with similar origins to Aku or super galactic federations or something.

>>92640726
This pretty much. They could've at least explained that multiple timelines can exist simultaneously and have Jack beat Aku in the future to avoid the future's continued suffering.

>>92640870
>This pretty much. They could've at least explained that multiple timelines can exist simultaneously and have Jack beat Aku in the future to avoid the future's continued suffering.
They can't though.

>>92637932
Scotman and his his wife were both Scottish. It's way more likely than most other groups that they could exist and meet in a world not dominated for millenniums by Aku.

>>92640471
Yes, because
A) They should never have existed and only exist because Aku fucked with time
And
B) There is no argument that more people would be alive in the long run, and many of those people would live better lives
But I guess they don't matter cause you didn't get to see them call jack names

>>92640834
Not necessarily. His goal is rather interesting in that he enjoys criminal behavior and general chaos, and loves to see others cause trouble while he is treated like a king. Yet he's very casual when in private. Its a unique mix.

>>92640794
Even Aku himself would've put laws in place since he couldn't rule a civilisation without laws. Life inside a city might have varied depending on what your job was and who you were but hell even Aku's cities had police who go chasing gangmembers. My guess is that one of aku's laws is that you can be evil and shit all you want but don't do it in my domain

>Guize guize its good the Holocaust happened because a couple of survivors met up and made a family I like afterwards!

>>92640879
Well they didn't need to literally explain it. Just show it by showing the future for a bit after Aku is destroyed in the past.

You all live in the timeline that Aku didn't rule over

>>92640920
Also, notice that Aku seemingly allows Tengu to practice his japanese culture with his family. And also notice in the haunted house episode that the family there mentions that Edo still exists and Japan is still pretty traditional, showing that Aku does allow shit to remain "good" so long as they probably pay tribute to him, offer him something in exchange or just avoid attracting his attention or the attention of his immigration department.

>>92640953
Exactly. Look at all the interesting characters forgotten like tears in the rain and what we're left with is THIS pathetic lot.

>>92637874
Why are you people so stupid with this?
Say the only reason your parents meet is becuase Aku burn your mothers house down and your father from another village that Aku destroyed saved her and they had a night of passion that made you.
Now Aku no longer exists and that house never catches fire, that villiage is never destroyed so your mom never meets your dad and as such you do not exist.

Ahem.
Future Aku was too much for Jack to handle, he had to go back.

That ending was junk. What's it with people and wanting things to consistently go back to the way they were? I had a bad feeling about this series right around the time Jack abruptly reverted to his former self as though 50 years of fighting and suffering hadn't happened to him, and it was justified by its conclusion.

>>92640953
Yeah, the [CURRENT YEAR] sure is great!

Killing Aku was a mistake. Also, Jack's world is clearly not the exact same as our earth. It has its own history and numerous civilizations from different periods in our world co-existing at the same time.

>>92640988
Instead, my fathers village (and all the children they would have produced without Aku) is still around.
I mean, it would suck to be me If I still were, but the one where the village wasn't destroyed is clearly the superior timeline.

Oh please. Jack would've owned that shit if Ashi hadn't opened the portal. Aku was way more frightening and powerful in the graveyard episode.

The only thing Aku seems to take very seriously though is having aliens come to his planet without making contact first and for people to leave without his consent. The fairy aliens episode really showed that said shit is what he enforces the most tyranny on.

Remember, not all brainlets are pastfags, but all pastfags are brainlets.

>>92641068
Jack isn't bad. No one's at fault here. Ashi was the primary catalyst, but even she didn't know the full implications of what she was doing or what would occur. Its just the tragedy that followed because of the events that had to unfold and the way the episode's delivered said scenes.

>>92640133
Hell, i find it worse to believe that in the thousands of years jack was being flung, NO ONE was noble enough to end up getting a new weapon by the gods. It was always jack, although there wasnt much "you are the chosen one" going on at all.

>>92641104
The ending wasn't terribly surprising in the slightest. That bad feeling was pretty much me figuring they weren't going to do anything interesting with it, which is a pretty standard expectation. People hate change, people hate loss, people hate suffering, an ending that involved Jack staying in that timeline would have required accepting all three of those. We desperately want to believe that at any point in our life, we can go back to the way things used to be, and our fiction reflects it. I just find it sad that we refuse to come to terms with change and instead construct fantasies to escape this omnipresent reality.

>>92640889
I wasn't the first comment so stop trying to supplement your argument with shitty strawmen. Your logic makes absolutely zero sense, your saying that just because the people in the bad timeline existed because Aku messed with time they have less of a right to exist than the one in the original one, which is a completely arbitrary reason. Don't know why you think there's no argument about the amount but I don't really care about that so whatever.

There is more change and loss in the "back to the past ending" than in the "stay in the future ending", at least for the viewer

>>92641168
Its likely Aku killed anyone who might be even remotely worthy, which is why he usually targets peaceful or happy locations, like that viking village and imprisoned its leader in stone to make sure he would never be worthy.

>>92641177
Don't keep going along with this. He's either legit retarded or just baiting you, my friend.

>>92641287
Only if you think in that absolutely immediate sense. In the go to the past ending, Jack goes back to how his old life was, gets his family back, and the centuries of suffering that was Aku's reign ceases to be. The back to the past ending is a reversion to status quo; after 50 years, Jack basically gets to pick up his old life.

>>92641153
Too hard for you future spergs to get?

You're saying its good that Aku ruled the galaxy as a tyrant for thousands of years and made trillions suffer because you can't let the Scotsman or other Jack allies go.

It's fucking pathetic, no different than saying "the Holocaust is good because the neighbors I like met in a concentration camp"

Im not mad at any specific point of the ending. Im mad at the fact it looks like genndy purposely chose to ignore every single way to give the series proper closure for sake of making a sad ending, even if dont make much sense. He actually had to go out of his way to deny previously stabilished themes to put his sad ending.
He could have chosen to not send jack to the past
He could have chosen to give casuality a middle finger and ashi and the guys in the future keep existing (needed to kill future aku first, though).
He could have killed ashi as soon as past aku died to give the series a proper sad ending
He could have went with the reincarnation in a better future ending.
He could have went with everyone dies, aku wins, but at least jack and his friends have peace in heaven.
He could have done anything
All those are more consistent and better than the borderline nihilistic stuff we got

>>92641426
Just do what I do. Leave the thread. Its a lost cause.

>>92641433
If that was his true and ultimate goal, why did he always choose to help people in the future, instead of just using the damned time portals?

>I'm not a writer because trying to incorporate a character arc that is interesting in the last season, which also tried to subvert previous tropes, doesn't suit your devoted gendy cocksucking

If you expected an ending with as many loose ends as this show to be wrapped up in a satisfactory way in a short 22 minute episode, you're a foolish samurai.

The real crime is how carried away Genndy got with the Ashi romance subplot forgetting that we only have 10 episodes and need to set 2 or 3 aside for a proper ending (the thing fans have waited for for a decade.)

>>92641433
>implying you need talent to write

>>92641462
Was the 50 years timeskip thing even necessary? Did it even play a purpose outside of some needless source of tragedy?

>>92641489

>>92641510
No, because it also involves sacrificing billions of others who aren't involved in the decision.

>>92641521
>mfw Jack's family legacy and statue was in Hiroshima
So much for that.

>>92641433
The entire fucking point of storytelling is that the desired destination is always preferable.

The idea is to have characters learn enough on the way for them to make their own path, not obsessively doom a universe to stick to the same path from the beginning.

>>92641510
According to contrarians no...because "hurr maybe humans might act as evil as the literal being created from an ultimate evil"

>>92641433
He was already growing out of his self imposed mission in the middle seasons.
"Akus victories arent your failures". All the times he chosen to stay and help rather than return to the past.
And in the end it wasnt even him who made the choise, it was ashi.

>>92641553
*isn't always preferable

>>92641482
Because he's a good person who can't abandon people. He also, as a feudal Samurai, lacks an understanding of time travel and causality. The part of his character that demands he go back to the past to stop Aku's reign of terror is the same one that demands he help people in trouble over accessing a time portal if he has to choose one or the other.

>>92641035
You don't follow your fathers bloodline or your mother idiot. Your genes are made from both of them. You cannot exist in any fashion without both of them. It's why there is such a cearianty everyone doesn't exist now.

>>92641510
Just one person who's fine with it? Sure. A billion/trillion others who don't even know what's going on?

Also, since the future that is Aku has been undone, I'm guessing the alien fairies will have to seek out help from someone else when they inevitably crash land on Earth? Oh wait, the government will just dissect them and steal their shit.

>>92641547
Which also saves trillions of lives made to suffer a timeline of absolute Aku dominance.

You know Aku...the guy whose government officals immigrate mass killers and assign them a village to slaughter with total sadism.

And new tyrants crop up after those men. Reality will feature copious suffering in either case. People in this thread are also making the freshman philosophical mistake of assuming that an existence with suffering is worse than no existence at all, which makes me ask: how do you feel about anti-natalism?

>>92641684
Explain to me how someone like Scotsman for example can exist in the afterlife if he never existed.

Unless you're asking about afterlife in general, in which case fuck off

>>92641619
Which is part of the many reasons why the last episode was shit.

>>92641692
This.

The ending we got was worse than no ending at all.

It would be like the old eps.

Jack beat Aku because he already beat the shit out of him in the past, that much was clear.

No, explain how people erased don't go to the afterlife in the Jack universe. Give supporting evidence from the show to prove it.

The Scotsman was just Celtic Magic

>>92641684
Episode 5 or 6, jack vs the lava monster. The proud viking warrior goes to valhalla in the end of the episode carried by a valkyre. Eternal joy in a akuless paradise along gods. Thats the fate of all who died fighting aku.
Now they got erased.
You would know that if you watched the damn series.

No really, prove that the people erased wouldn't go to some other plane of existence or afterlife with actual evidence from the show, not just what you assume. Prove they were even erased in the first place. You simply can't and are just arguing based on assumptions with no word from Genndy on it.

People don't go the afterlife cause they don't exist. Duh.

>>92641836
No, I personally would rather have an existence of suffering than no existence at all, you mong. Which I'm sure plenty of people in the Aku timeline would have said.

>>92641856
Something that never exists can't go anywhere, this is basic logic you schmuck. Now you're retreating into "let's play the why game" territory.

Sad that you're getting upset over your own assumptions of how an imaginary afterlife presumably presided over by omnipotent beings operates.

>>92641856
In the absence of evidence otherwise we have to assume that the logical thing happened and they were erased just like Ashi was. It's on Genndy to show or imply otherwise if he didn't want us to think Samurai Jack erased all his future friends and allies.

>>92641906

>>92641856
They were erased just like ashi did. Its you who are going the extra step and assuming all souls of peoe WHO DONT EVEN EXIST ANYMORE went to a afterlife. But i agree that the show answers nothing. Thats the kind of stuff you expect to see explained in an epilogue of a show with crazy magic going around, the thing we didnt get AT ALL.

This. Now can we please all shut up already and let this thread die?

>>92641926
>presumably presided over by an omnipotent being

Prove it.

>>92641926
I once spent hours wondering why God would create Heaven or Hell but I realised it futile because the real reason is because he felt like it. Maybe god like beings create afterlives for their most favorite matter puppets or something out for no real reason.

>>92641926
Odin, Ra, and Vishnu aren't omnipotent though. They're all Omniscient, however.

>>92641963
All three of those gods are from texts which outline the afterlife.

>>92641965
Deep.

>>92641971
My bad.

Future fans are cuckolds. They would enjoy letting billions suffer in the past and future from Aku's machinations than choose to have theoretically unperson'd an entire timeline. Marty McFly is less chicken than you children.

Not one of them is omnipotent. Odin in fact is fated to die, and powerless to do anything about it (in fact his attempts to do so actually just seal his fate).

Dude, you're calling people summerfags when you don't even know how to delete your own thread. Loll fucking kill yourself. Seriously.

>>92641945
So your selfish and have tunnel vision. Good to know.

Aku has spent thousands of years literally destroying planets and enslaving worlds. But changing all that is wrong because you enjoy working in some crystal mine slaving for an evil supervisor while some evil minion gets official protection to slaughter villages for fun.

>>92642037
You made the assumption they wouldn't, you're the one who has to prove the distinction and you can't. If you weren't the Anon who made the original post then you need to follow comment chains better.

>>92642065
He didn't make the thread. I did. Only reason I'm keeping it around is because I want to see how many dumbasses are willing to defend the Scotsman's unnecessary erasure and offer moronic arguments to justify it.

>>92642075
But all of that is wrong because an infinite number of people are being erased against their consent. Is an existence with suffering worse than no existence at all? Would you have preferred not exist to not suffer?

But you're acting as though the concern is Jack's choice of action, the concern here is Genndy's writing and whether it was a satisfactory conclusion to the series, which it fucking wasn't. It was a forced reversion to status quo meant to shove in a ham-handed sad ending.

>implying that the Scotsman didn't understand Jacks' quest since day 1?
Why are anti-past fags so retarded? Just about everyone he's ever met knew who he was, what he was from, and what he planned to do. They all accepted it because they realized their own sacrifice of non existence would mean a better tomorrow for everyone else.

>>92642075
Changing it all would imply that Jack did the heroic thing and rebuilt the future.

What you meant was UNDOING it, which involves either the cast coming together in a moment of existential consensual sacrifice or Jack running away like a baby (this ending was the latter)

>>92642081
Saying non existent things don't exist in any form isn't an assumption, It's the definition of what a non existent thing is.

Saying non existent people exist is a pretty big claim though.

>>92641592
I know. Which is why it won't suck to be me, since I won't exist.

>>92638662
Damn that's deep

So is the entity that Aku came from the Greek Chaos?

>>92642130
I don't think most of the people Jack met understood causality all that well. Plenty of them might have believed they would exist there just wouldn't be an Aku.

>>92642130
Oh yeah the Scotsman totally understood which is why he tried to marry off his children and was otherwise super protective of them in the final battle.

Jk go to your hugbox.

>>92642134
No, I think the heroic thing is making sure Aku's evil reign never got started in the first place, which is what jack did in the end.

>>92642168
Many of them probably would still exist just at different times or different places.
For example, let's think about the robots. Although they were created specifically for Aku's bidding, it seems fitting that in this world scientists would create these robots again but with a purer purpose.

Gennedy's by far worst mistake was having no epilogue.

>>92642130
He didn't understand shit. Jack never even told him of his quest you ninny. Only hint that he ever knew about it was in the sirens episodes and even then it was clear his understanding was pretty simplistic, probably because it was in Jack's wanted posters.

>>92642081
You are the one who say they do and dont have anything to prove it. Burden of proof always fall on the one affirming it. You are affirming the deleted people went to the afterlife. We are denying and asking why, if the setting dont make the slighthest hint towards it during the entire series.
You are the one with the head canon, we are on the neutral "nothing happened unless noted by the series" position. How do you even function in real life?

>Not understanding the sacrifice people made for a better existence without Aku.

Is this the true litmus test for autism?

Why couldn't they just do the happy ending. Make it a multiple timelines thing where Jack kills aku and then goes back and kills past Aku which creates a new timeline while the old timeline still exists. Ashi lives because her timeline still exists. Best of both worlds and everyone is happy. I didn't even like Ashi but I would have liked this infinitely more than the trash we got.

>>92642233
100% agree. It was stupid that Jack suddenly left the future mid-battle instead of defeating Aku.

>>92642233
Jack wouldn't really have lost anything and we couldn't have an epic bittersweet ending where he looks at a bug.

>>92642258
The very fact that he has them ride into battle with him shows he IS willing to sacrifice his daughters to stop Aku. He just wants to make sure it accomplishes something and not a worthless gesture.

>>92637807
I see this argument that future characters don't exist anymore, and it makes me think of what they thought of Back to the Future?

SHUT UP FUTUREFAG!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>92642201
But that involves the sacrifice of millions of unconsenting people. That's not heroic at all.

>>92642312
But then he has them run off as soon as he realizes Aku can't be killed. He aint sacrificing jackshit.

>>92642205
It would depend how far in the future Jack is. The Longer Aku leaves a mark on his surroundings, which as a galactic dictator he would do a lot of, the more and more change would occur by removing him.

I don't know about the robots. Aku seemed to be dumping a lot of moolah on murderbots. Maybe humans in a peaceful good future can't find the economical value in creating intelligent humanoid robots. All those robots from the Robo Samurai episode are just conveyor belt arms now

>>92640284
Mad?

>>92642348
He realized he had no chance because he didn't have Jack's sword.

>>92642313
I honestly wouldn't even think this if Ashi hadn't disappeared.

>>92642081
We have proof in series the afterlife exists. There is no proof that there is an afterlife headed by some "time deity" Rick Sanchez bullshit anywhere in the series.

Samurai Jack episodes ll-Cl are now noncanon stories

>>92642233
Because genndy was dead set since day one to make the ending bittersweet. He overdid it, and for me it was just outright bleak. I honestly dont think he put nearly as much thought in philosophical implications of non existence, afterlife and existence of soul we are putting it here, so i say go with whatever interpretation pleases you the most

>>92642365
He went in thinking he had a chance of winning. He's an old fashioned and over confident seasoned warrior who thought his girls would go unharmed and win with his army, but when the realization came, they backed off, and when it came time to save Jack, one would expect Jack to kill Aku there first before leaving them all high and dry and his daughters to die.

>>92642375
Yeah, but so did Marty McFly until he got his parents together.

Would be an entirely different story if Marty's oldman got killed.
