>>92678908
it's not clear, it's spartok's (king's) voice actor but in the OG series spartok was shown with pitch black skin when in his armor

>>92678771
Only episode one is canon. Jack was sent to the future and came back moments later and finished him off.

Then some girl died.
What the fuck do spartans have to do with feudal japan?

>>92678950

>>92678465
>Bringing back a bunch of character that don't exist
What's even the point?

It makes me wonder why they bothered with the callback episode earlier in the season. This was the vastly superior one and had most of the same characters anyway

>>92678950
>Only episode one is canon
Its feels so good to be a journeyfag

The archers were by far the coolest dudes whi came to Jack's aid. I loved how when everyone else was watching the broadcast and going "Oh no!" they were just sitting there stonefaced and pissed.

Also the mech was great and their death's touched me a lot more than Asi's.

>>92679050
to fit in as much ashi development they could with 6 episodes, she had to see firsthand all the good jack did to help fully convince herself and also bring jack back from the brink

False premise, didn't read the rest.

>>92679184
well they were a generational fighting force in their episode saying the fight against the creature lasted decades or something, I dont know how the king didnt age at all
especially since the end of that episode had him all old and on his deathbed in the future

>>92678611
>>92679025
How hard is it to assume they'd still exist in the future they just wouldn't be in the exact same situation

>>92680130
I was just joshing.
The moment you travel through time, you enter into an alternate universe. Good luck finding your way back.

>>92680130
Who are you talking about?

People complain that we didn't get King Jack but the spartans episode shows that Jack is seemingly still young while the king is on his deathbed. The arrival of the 300 in the final episode was incredibly satisfying and did offer closure to that storyline.

>>92680130
Every action you make, even one as small as deciding whether to start walking with your left foot instead of your right, causes billions of people that could have existed in the future otherwise, to not exist anymore.

I'm kinda disappointed the season devolved into traditional jack after ep 3. I was surprised how quickly he killed the assassins.

MFW it wouldve been cooler to have jack on the run from assassins with wolf bro all season

>>92682086
I was so disappointed when the wolf just walked offstage after a whole episode of bonding

My biggest dissapointment was how the series never had another awesome fight after episode 3. It was just talk and plot, which is funny considering Genndy made Samurai Jack because he was complaining that cartoons were too talky.

>>92681263
>didnt show up with all the tavern warriors
missed opportunity

>>92678573

>the ending would've felt very out-of-place without it

Because Jack has always been a cliche ridden show. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing sometimes. In fact you could argue that subverting cliches like not giving the hero a happy end or having him learn "his new friends are his family" was to the finales detriment

>>92680341
>>92680130

Time travel stories will always be full of paradoxes no matter how simple you try and make them. It's why the "split timeline" shit was created as a plot element

>>92682086
>I'm kinda disappointed the season devolved into traditional jack after ep 3

I'm not because that's what I wanted. Mopey Jack ain't my nigga

>>92679542

That's because the king you see in the Season 5 finale is his son, you mongoloid.

>>92683887
who just happens to look completely different than he did before and had his father's voice suddenly?

>>92683901
>who just happens to look completely different than he did before

Well it has been 50 years

>>92683912
completely different from the previous future appearance he had*

It was disappointing because they all felt so useless. They couldn't do shit to Aku, and the 'distraction' felt seriously lazy.

At least make it so they're fighting a robot army and actually doing some good. So that Jack needs them to keep stuff away while he fights Aku.

Im pretty disappointed the guy who fights with other warrior's souls didn't show back up. They teased him in the bar scene but didnt do anything with him after.

>>92683934
well they did keep the little-akus from attacking jack after they showed up
>>92683947
that was the worst blue-balling of the season

>>92683967
also just having the guardian being killed offscreen was terrible too

>>92678465
I was so fucking hype when they came on screen because i was kinda bummed that Ashi didnt run into them when she was looking for Jack and i was worried they wouldnt make an appearance.
Jack and the Spartans is my all time favorite episode

>>92678465

If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is this.

Gotdamn, it was so fucking awesome to see the Three Hundred return for that battle.

>>92680341
how fucking hard is it for people to realize that humans understand fuck all about the universe and how "time" actually exists, and that maybe it doesnt work at all the way we think it does?

>>92683817
>having him learn "his new friends are his family" was to the finales detriment
The cliche was doing exactly what the theme song said. That would have been a subversion.
>not giving the hero a happy end
I think you mean not giving the hero a FULLY happy ending, because other than losing Ashi Jack literally got everything back that he had dreamed of for 50 years.

>>92680341
In a linear timeline, the future is the culmination of choices made by everyone in the present, and until the future becomes the present, it has not happened, and thus cannot be considered undone.

>>92678465
I always assumed these last ten episodes were all written recently. After fifteen years away this kind of ending seemed the only way. Bring back people from the original four seasons, have them wave at the audience and then wrap things up.

How was Samurai Jack supposed to end originally? Or was this some version of "it"? I've never bothered to look this up. Fuck.

>>92682950
It's okay because our favorite character Ashi did all the fighting!

>>92678465

It was in every single "predict the ending" thread. It was the most predictable boring shite they could have done.

The ten episodes should've been 30 and in those 30 there should've been way less total talking then we got in the ten. Samurai Jack is supposed to be about storytelling through action.

Even an AshixJack relationship could've been told with more moments, looks, touches, less comedic situations than we got.

Somewhere in another reality it all ended as it should have

>>92684525
People always suggest more time, more episodes as a magical way to fix the flaws in writing, but I don't see why. The final battle between Aku and Jack shouldn't need to take 30 episodes. What do you imagine taking so long?

>>92678465

In some way similar to what we got, really.

>>92684459
It wasn't supposed to end. It was not a story crafted to come to a conclusion. We forced this.
