Genndy can't write for shit.

Last words of a love interest are literally "TIME PARADOX LUL". A fucking exposition.

He should stick to the theme of first 2 episodes where Jack was a lone warrior and whole narrative was from visual storytelling.

Man, Jack ended up with a smile on his face. Overcoming grief is a traditional way to end samurai stories on Japan, this is considered a happy ending. Also this >>93056426

>>93056424
You dont know what headcanon means.

>>93056483
>>93056520
To both of you, can you elaborate on the Japanese movie and what a head Canon is?

>>93057525
Not him, but I will explain. In Japan, it's common for samurai movies to never have a 100% nice ending, see Seven Samurais for example, there is always a big loss. This said, the japanese view "getting over the loss of a loved one, with hope of fiding them in a future life, and go on with your own" is also very common.

Also, headcanon is when a person has a theory, based on previous clues that exist on the show but aren't confirmed.

One example of headcanon would be: "Jack might fight the Guardian and use the time portal eventualy, because both exist on the past".

And a hero finaly completing his quest after more than 50 years of suffering and pain is far from what you described. It is even more stupid because time travel is not something that could be in real life, so thinking that that was the lessom is even more stupid.

I understand the point the ending was trying to make in a vacuum, but the issue is that the way the rest of the season played out tainted the message trying to be sent.
If you are going to end the season with completely undoing a future, it is a REALLY bad move to dedicate episodes worth of time showing exactly how greatly the suffering planet can recover from what seems like rock bottom due to the efforts of someone willing to fight for it.
If they were so dead set on Jack erasing that timeline, they should have had the season focus on how irredeemable the future is. Unfortunately, they chose to bank on the nostalgia factor and then erase every bit of the adventures from canon, reducing them to nothing more than memories in a depressed mans eventually decaying mind.

The implication is that everyone in the future is wiped out.
Jack meets a woman who is literally the perfect love of his life in the future, they go back in time and kill aku, and then she fades away on their wedding day.
There is zero implication that anyone in the present is living a positively-parallel life in the altered timeline.

Except they knew that was his goal for a long time. Pretty sure they're alright with a rewritten timeline.

>>93062569
Ashi is the one who brings them both to the past, but it is pretty clear neither of them were aware of the consequences, so it comes off not as a weighed sacrifice, but a last minute gutpunch for no reason other than avoiding a happy ending. Genndy probably saw Logan and then changed the ending last minute in response.

They're not alright with anything. They don't exist. Jack nullified the entirety of existence in a narrow-minded quest, never thinking for anyone but his own agenda. Stupidity and ignorance is no excuse for unmaking reality and sentencing what may as well be infinite lives to death.

Aku led Earth into space and established an intergalactic trade network in the pursuit of his petty goals and ambitions.

But she never existed, Jack is the only person that was ever affected by his decisions

>>93062648
It depends, really.

If it's multiverse theory, Jack went to the past, abandoned the future, and let the people in the future and the AKU of the future to their own suffering.

If it's Time Correction Theory, then the events of the future are totally destroyed, and rearranged, as it leads to the complete erasure of that timeline- like they never existed.All those lived, all those existances, children, souls, wiped out to non-existance- after all, it's a totally different universe.

It's why Time Travel is frowned on in most settings. Too dangerous.

That's why they went after Aku and helped Jack, right?

They didn't want a future where a giant tree devil makes half the galaxy his bitch.

>>93062719
It's clear is Time Correction Theory, because Ashi faded away, it was stupid because it happened some time after Aku died but she faded nonetheless.

In short, Jack did the right thing.

>>93062701
Technically, you ARE completely erasing and murdering billions of souls and their experiences from existing and taking place; by changing the past. Even the slightest change could have unspeakable consequences. So, by going back in time, and changing the future, you're destroying and collapsing an entire universe of possibilities; people, experiences, souls, into a void of nonexistance.

Good job, hero?

>>93062753
>and murdering
How? Do you not understand how does not-existing works or what?
>hurr he's just killing them by erasing them!
Stop, this doesn't make sense Jack isn't killing anybody because they never existed in the first place, he was supposed to prevent, not to fix, a threat and suffering was prevented and so he completed his mission, good job indeed.

>>93062701
making your influence on the future via actions in the present is not the same as altering the present via meddling in the past.

In a linear timeline the future is not concrete until it becomes the present, you cannot undo something that has not occured. The present and past are concrete however, and meddling with them is absolutely immoral.

An analogy to illustrate what I'm saying:
Jack changing the present DID wipe out Ashi, Scotsman, and anyone else who was shown in seasons 1-5. Jack changing the present DID NOT wipe out the potential babies that he and Ashi would have had given the opportunity.

>>93062792
I dont think you're getting it.
They lived. They existed. Then they did not. Suddenly reality collapses into nothingness, and they fade away into nothingness, just like Ashi did.

I think that if you put it to a vote to the people of that universe they'd choose to continue existing.

FYI, I would vote AGAINTS non existence. It sucks.
Sorry Jack.

>>93062820
>making your influence on the future via actions in the present is not the same as altering the present via meddling in the past.
Actually it's the same thing. If you change the past then indeed it becomes the present, and so the future doesn't exist and never existed.

>>93062792
Murdering actually is accurate in this situation, because multiple afterlifes are shown to be canon.
Those who died under Aku were implied to have been granted a cozy spot in a heaven(the viking, jacks parents, scotsman kinda), however, if you never existed, you cannot be sent to said heaven.

>>93062848
>They lived
No, they didn't.
>They existed
No, they didn't.
>Then they did not
No, they never did.

I don't think you understand what how does the present existence work

>>93062852
>if you change the past, it becomes the present, and thus the future doesn't exist
Did you actually read that before posting it?

>>93062852
>and so the future doesn't exist and never existed

This is where time gets funny. Because if time is a physical thing rather than just a concept, then a new concept emerges to govern time. Anything that did exist indeed existed. Jack is proof of it.

Jack also caused a temporal paradox, which in a universe where time is an actual thing rather than a concept means he probably just spelt out the doom for the entire universe. Like, he's having his dramatic ending just as reality is sinking below some gradient of spacial law that allows mass to be a thing.

>>93062885
But future Heaven never existed either, so it doesn't matter if anyone that didn't exist didn't go to a heaven that doesn't exist.

>>93062848
Are you Catholic or something? Preventing a life from being created isn't the same as killing someone.

>>93062921
The fact is that their very souls, efforts, ideals and contributions to the world were undone, and that is about the worst fate that a being can suffer.

>>93062913
Why would time be a concept? That doesn't make sense within the context of the show.

>>93062894
You're arguing with an autist

>>93062913
Time travel isn't real, the plot always revolved around Jack finding a way back to the past, Genndy made this the ending and it is therefore a good thing. Any retarded complaints you have are irrelevant.

go to bed Phil

it's so obvious how it should have ended. After an epic battle he cages aku away and Ashi masters he inner aku darkness through Jack's help since he faced something like that before. Then he gets to the portal since aku is caged up and defeated but not killed, Jack has to make a really hard choice, 1)stay in the future with ashi and make little jack's and ahi's or 2) go back into the past and end it all. He ofcourse after a moody buildup and Ashi telling him to go and all that sappy stuff he refuses and stays in the future and becomes king of the land because since aku's reign is over only the man who defeated(caged) Aku and knows how to control him shall be respected and powerful enough to rule the land. skip to many decades later, jack and ashi have kids and stuff and maybe one day something happens aku escapes into the past through a portal or something and old jack chases after him as his son watches. and then he grabs his father's sword and goes in after him to the past. that would be a dope end, also in the future when jack is old and ashi is old they are the emporers of the future world so they're treated like royalty and such. and therers peace among the land and bla bla bla and jacks son is trying to live up to his father bla bla bla.

>>93062908
Yes, I did, and it's correct.
If reality it's the present then there's no future and the past (at least within the rules of fiction) can be changed, thus becoming a new present, unless they are in the future-present, in which case then it's the past.

AKA it doesn't matter when as long as Jack can undo or do things in the present the future doesn't matter

As long as Jack is in a present, doesn't matter when as long as he's in the present, the future doesn't exist and the past it's history. He is free to do something that might change the future but until he does, the future is uncertain.

>>93063159

The picture is making the point that the way the ending was handled makes zero sense.

>>93063264
Well maybe Jack remember because he wasn't part of the timeline when he existed in the future, which is why he stopped aging.

>>93063303
That's a reach considering there was no implication that he would continue aging upon return to the past. For all we know the simple action of entering a portal could cause someone to stop aging, or that Aku's continued existence had that side effect.

Keyword there being "happens" with quotation marks and arbitrary.

The 4 seasons "timeline" happens in the way that it's a future that originated from Aku winning and sending Jack to the future, Jack as the witness of such a future it's the only proof of the existence of that future once he comes back.
He stops that possible outcome from existing by killing Aku and so now a new outcome begins, again as Jack being the witness and only proof what he lived "happened" for him, but in reality it didn't. You could say the entirety of Samurai Jack was just a possibility, Jack lived a possible outcome, not the real future in the singular timeline. Of course that's just saying it in practical terms because in reality season 1-4 did really happened they just didn't matter in the end.

>>93063321
it is implied that time fuckery caused his aging process to stop. There is no other reasonable explanation since Jack's Dad also died from age while doing the same thing as Jack.

>>93063264
>>93063327
As for Ashi dying that's just the rushed shitty drama, Ashi living all the way to the wedding is just bad writing from Genndy because he needed Ashi to stay existing all the way over there for dramatic purposes and nothing more.

>>93063336
When I said Aku's continued existence I meant that because he created the time portal, his presence perpetuated the anti-aging side effect of portal fuckery.
>>93063327
Jacks memory is not the only proof of those events. Logically he should not be in the past after aku's death because Ashi was the direct cause of his return, and her birth was undone.
>>93063362
The entire finale was the result of poor writing, and in my opinion, if you can't write a bittersweet ending properly, don't try to implement one.

>>93063403
>Jacks memory is not the only proof of those events. Logically he should not be in the past after aku's death because Ashi was the direct cause of his return, and her birth was undone.
Well it depends technically Ashi should've stopped existing right after they came out of her portal but Genndy it's just too much of a hack to do it, as for Jack he could exist in that present but it would require for someone to explain how does the time in a time portal works, but that would take writing effort and Genndy ain't got none of that

>>93063495
Might I refer to a statement I made in my last post?
>if you can't write a bittersweet ending properly, don't try to implement one.
It simply does not work in a season where a major character death is effectively undone because of literal "CELTIC MAGIC", and one of the seasons most prominent conflicts is resolved with literal Gods from the machine.
It was not an earned ending, Genndy should not feel proud for producing it, and Phil Lamarr should NOT insult art as a medium by comparing the ending to the Mona lisa and genndy to Da Vinci.

It's reasonable if it is properly weighed and addressed.
While it has horrific implications, those could have been HEAVILY mitigated by an acknowledgement from those in the future that cessation of existence was a sacrifice they were aware of and is indeed a preferable alternative to the future they live in.

However the only indication of a characters opinion of Jacks upcoming choice was from the scotsman, and all he did was tell Jack that his daughters were his pride and joy and wants one of them to marry Jack. Those are not the actions/words of someone who anticipates that he and his daughters will no longer exist in the next few minutes.
The end result is that the choice comes across as a something that had no foresight into it's consequences. Said consequences then came across as an afterthought rather than intention.

Tl;dr- If handled well, it's a reasonable outcome. It was not handled well, so it comes across as a childish manipulation of viewers emotions just for the sake of not having a traditional happy ending.

Storytelling wise, when you want to show the large scale effect of an action, you show the effect on a representative of the affected parties.
>only see the effect of timeline change on a single individual from the future
>she is wiped out
If the implication was that she was a unique case, then the alternative effects would be shown on other characters rather than leaving it up to the imagination of the viewer.

It works both ways too. Had Ashi not disappeared and also made a comment like "I remember everything as it happened, but I also suddenly remember a different childhood"(or something along those lines), then the implication is that everyone else is living a parallel existence in a better future.

Unfortunately, as it stands, the episode only provides(admittedly minor but still significant) evidence for the case of everyone in that timeline being wiped out, and zero evidence to the contrary. This really ends up leaving only one reasonable inference toward their fates.

Of what all?

>>93072689
The season. Also Phil going off the deep end

>>93072729
Honestly, most of the season was just an absolute joy to watch. Unfortunately it had a very unique ending in the sense that (at least for me) retroactively taints every bit of content prior to CI.

As for Phil, I realize Genndy is his friend and feels an obligation to stand up for him, but to compare the ending to some of the greatest works of art ever created is extremely pretentious and insulting to people who disagree with it. Notably because regardless of your opinion on whether the ending was satisfying or not, it is objectively a poorly paced and tonally inconsistent finale.

It seems like people who defend the ending look at it in a vacuum, and completely ignore that the reason people are pissed off is not singularly because its depressing, or poorly paced, or logically consistent, etc. but because of the combined effect all of those elements have.

>>93073303
>logically consistent
Whoops i meant INconsistent.

>>93073303
And we have a winner! Some people might have a 1 sided view but if you put all the parts together it doesn't add up. Same for Phil

>>93073303
>and completely ignore that the reason people are pissed off is not singularly because its depressing, or poorly paced, or logically consistent, etc

Oh sure, because """you"""" are the judge and the person who can objectively judge it.

There were problems with passing, but "depressing" and "logical inconsistencies" not.

Also, you are overthinking the analogy that Phil made. And it's not like you couldn't nitpick Monalisa too, to be honest there are some obvious mistakes on the painting that Da Vinci overlook.

>>93074126
So you are saying that Jack remembering Ashi or even remaining in the past after her disappearance is logically consistent?
What about her taking at least a year to vanish?

I will give you that it being depressing is indeed subjective, but I never claimed otherwise. The point I was making by bringing it up was that people aren't solely upset at it not being a happy ending, and alot of supporters of the ending paint a narrative that critics of it are just "babies who can't handle a mature ending"

So even Phil doesn't know the canon answer. I know there was speculation over that. Interesting.

And I gotta say I'm kinda surprised how Phil actually does seem to have a degree of investment in Jack.

How did samurai Jack kill the ashi sisters without the sword.


Weren't they part Aku and why didn't they reveal the mother's face ?

>>93075603
They were still half human. Demigods don't tend to be invincible.

>>93075625
Ashi manage to spit a portal meaning she has the powers of aku.

Isn't one of akus power to regenerate himself after being damage

>>93075603
The sisters didn't have their Aku side activated, and it's not clear you inherit Aku's immortality from having Aku juice in you. Certainly, the Ultrabots didn't.

I think they kept the mother's face unrevealed as an artsy-fartsy way of saying there WAS no woman beyond the High Priestess, her entire identity and psyche were consumed in hysterical obsession with Aku. Kind of a symptom of how sick the world was and was getting.

>>93075625
Ashi sisters will have the x factor to heal themselves automatically

>>93075757
Yes she had the powers of Aku, but those were not "activated" until episode 9, and prior to that they were effectively just abnormally strong humans.
Just as she and her sisters weren't shooting lasers at Jack, they weren't going to regenerate or have immunity to non-divine weaponry.
