I'm still laughing at the fallout, one moment Genndy is the savior of Western Animation and then he becomes a unforgiveable hack just because he killed off /co/'s flavor of the year(I say year because of all the autistic Ashi appreciation threads).

>then he becomes a unforgiveable hack just because he killed off /co/'s flavor of the year
Well, half the autists hate him because of that. The other half hate him because he rushed what was supposed to be a beautiful finale, the kind we all waited over a decade for.

At this point I don't even give a shit anymore, Samurai Jack has gone from a wonderful childhood memory to just another forgettable cartoon in a sea of forgettable cartoons.

I kinda knew it would happen, honestly.

I looked at the end of Young Justice and Green Lantern the Animated Series.

Genndy is a hell of a sucker for tragic love. And Samurai Jack was likely always meant to have that tragedy to it by its very nature.

I expect he wanted to add a love interest for Jack a long time ago, considering alot of things. But time eventually rolled around and he was able to unleash his tragic loss.

And you know what, thats alright. Love stories last forever. And Jack and Ashi was... magnificent.

True, but ashi's backstory is that she's Aku's daughter and has powers like his, and was raised to serve him and kill Jack

Frankly, no background is better than deviantart OC-tier writing like that
>>
>>93492239
Tumblr pls

Killing a side character to create drama for the protagonist was a thing before you were a zygote, will be a thing when you meet the love of your life, and will still be a thing long after you are eulogized and buried by your doting friends and family

Whether the character has a vagina or not is irrelevant. This Women in Refrigerators meme has to die
>>
Acceptance.

Samurai Jack ended and the only thing I can say about the final season is that it was pretty and episodes 1-3 were good. I'm through with shitting on Ashi because at least Ashifags got BTFO, and the downward rollercoaster of bad that was S5 has angered me and depressed me enough.

Now I will treat cartoons like videogames, not gonna be hyped until it's here and even then I'm not getting my hopes up for the second half.
>>
>>93494006
Calling something "deviantart OC-tier" as an argument isn't really fair because it's completely opinion based.
Trivializing a character is easy as shit.

He's a samurai and he can fight with any weapon and beat any opponent and he can dodge bullets after seeing a gun for the first time, and he has a magic katana that can cut through anything! He's also the emperors son and has abilities like his, and was raised to save him and kill aku(mega ASSFAGGOT)
>>
>>93494085
Ashi wasn't a side character though. The scotsman, his daughters, and scaramouche were side characters. Ashi had as much, if not more, screentime and development as Jack. the season was as much her story whether you like it or not.

And her having a vagina IS relevant because the drama of her death was not about losing an ally, it was about losing the love of his life, thus making it not a gender neutral trope in this instance.
>>
>>93489110
I was on acceptance the moment the show ended. I've gone through this once with MGSV so I'm immune to being let down.

>Ashi wasn't a side character though. The scotsman, his daughters, and scaramouche were side characters. Ashi had as much, if not more, screentime and development as Jack. the season was as much her story whether you like it or not.

Even if we graciously exclude the four previous seasons of Jack doing shit on his own, he still had more screentime than his girlfriend in the final season. She's a side character, period. It was his story, she was just along for the ride.

Her snatch is not relevant because characters lose people close to them all the time. Parents, children, siblings, they all meet their maker in these shows and comics. Yet it's only considered primeval and wrong it's a female love interest. Why?
>>
>>93494316
Ashi might as well been a side character with her shitty development and cliched romance.
>>
>>93494632
Just counting this season, screentime was roughly divided as
>episode 1-3
about 60/40 favoring Jack (training of ashi/sisters and fight/chase scenes involving them)
>episode 4-5
50/50 (they are at eachothers side nearly all of these episodes
>episode 6
90/10 favoring Ashi (Jack is only present in the last 2 minutes of the episode, and even then is just a prop for Ashi to talk to)
>episode 7
70/30 favoring Ashi(focus is on her fighting the army and her mother while Jack hallucinates)
>episode 8-10
50/50 (they aren't seperated in this time except the last two minutes of CI)

Think about the symbolism of fire, water, and nature, how these elements play out in real life, say, during a forest fire, then apply those principals to the context of Season 5's story.

Her destiny was always to die and leave a legacy.
>>
>>93496412
I was going to ask what legacy, then I remembered that without her Jack would have broken under the weight of his depression. Why did they have to ruin what could've been a beautiful friendship with that unnecessary romance?

You're on the right track.
Which one of those is Jack, Aku, and Ashi?

>>93496898
meant to put
>water helps nature grow anew and beautiful from the ashes
>>
>>93497114
Aku is fire, jack is water, Ashi is nature. I understand how it works symbolically, get to the point as to why this means Ashi's death is necessary
>>
>>93497148
Fires always destroy every living thing in their path, but water helps new life regrow from the ashes. She might have been obliterated, but her actions and the seeds she sowed for the new future are what allowed new life to flourish. It's pretty loose and cheesy but that's Genndy for you.
>>
>>93497281
That analogy gets EXTREMELY clouded by the fact that water/Jack has been working for 50 years to regrow nature from the ashes, in fact an entire episode was dedicated to showing examples of that.
Ashi and her costume changes were symbolically representative(until CI mucked it up) of what I'm saying; she went from an ash costume to a nature costume as a form of rebirth after bathing in water.

What even more ruins what you are saying is the implication that in this analogy, the reborn beauty keels over and dies because

Very true. Many ecosystems rely on forest fires to thrive, he'll some species of pine are unable to even germinate without flames.

Suffering is a necessary part of life. Russian as fuck.
>>
>>93499425
Honestly that last part of my comment was for a shitty joke.
My main issue is that erasure from time as a concept taints any semblance of leaving a legacy in the world. As well as the fact that the idea of rebirth from the ashes was already in full swing throughout the season, and the finale took a sudden turn and wiped it all away.
>>
>>93499425
As for the russian part, I think it just doesn't fit with the cliche-ridden cheeseball of a series that is samurai jack, and if it was a decision made on the basis of "holding to your roots", he should have paced the season to accomadate it
>>
Episodes 1-3 feel like a tightly compacted, close knit narrative about a broken man who ultimately adheres to his late father's words of wisdom to stop running from his pain and facing his past.

Episodes 4-10 have next to nothing to do with their three predecessors, and exist to kill off everything set up in 1-3 so that the focus and ultimatum of the show can be that Jack falls in love, and loses his lover at the very last minute.
Jack is very static and boring in these parts, Ashi feels more like a tool and a means to an end than and actually character, and for as great as Greg Baldwin was, Aku has fuck all to do with the story and just clowned around until it was time for the show to end.

After Jack overcame his own personal demons, the focus should have shifted on to his dynamic with Aku. There should have been a Killing Joke-esque theme of "eventually, one of us will die, and that's the only thing that matters".

and God Damnit, there should have been a personal, bloody and elegant final show down with Aku. The violence and adult themes gelled extremely well with Jack, and they ditch it all after 3 to make it a child-friendly Cartoon Network program. It's not good, it's not godawful, but it's mediocre, which is the worst thing a work of art can be.
>>
Joy, because Ashi and her side-plot ruined the whole thing and I'm glad she's dead and all her dumbass fans still can't get over it.

>>93499901
When Genndy originally wrote the outline for the new season, Aku wasn't present, because No Mako. He had just vanished out of either boredom or fear of Jack.

That's what the original reason for the cult was; to try and appease Aku and bring him back, in the hopes he could make things better for them.

I can only assume that this would have had Ashi's transformation in the hand have more of an impact and been a bigger reveal, and flowed better with her sudden powers.

A lot of the season was re-worked to be around Aku, because Gendy realized that it wouldn't have actual closure if the two didn't have a final showdown, not to mention fan backlash.
>>
>>93500146
If that's true (and it makes sense with how things went) then it's ironic, ashi didn't ruin the show, any did

That would've been a million times better

Yes it's sad that we don't have Mako and it doesn't work out as smoothly in the same way, but if that was Gendy's intention then it should be that Aku was already destroyed by Jack, but he's still fucked because the way home is destroyed.

Or just have enough faith in Baldwin to actually carry the character himself. and make a genuine story that centers around Aku

As it stands the final version features a main antagonist that has nothing to do with the plot. And it really screws the story over in the end. If it was always just going to be about Jack and Ashi, take Aku out of the story.
>>
>>93499707
>>93499755
I absolutely agree with both of you. Honestly I would have preferred that Jack stay in the future and that Genndy give him some agency in that decision rather than have Ashi make it for him, as much as I like her presence in the show. I think a more meaningful and applicable message to real life is the idea of past being the past and how beautiful things can rise out of the worst tragedies. He built up this whole narrative about all the good Jack did and shot it right in the head. Water fire life symbolism could have worked either way.
>>
>>93500329
>genndy give him some agency in the decision
That brings up another big issue; sacrifice.
Alot of people, when defending the ending, justify the disappearance as a heartwarming sacrifice made for the good of the many. Unfortunately though, it comes across as a sacrifice as much as someone getting hit by a drunk driver does. The fact that there was no implication of fore-knowledge of the consequences makes it seem like a cruel cosmic punishment rather than a weighted sacrifice.

I don't hate Ashi in particular.
I hate that the Action series put a lot more focus on romance, which was jarring due to the horrible pacing I didn't used to mind.
Ashi is merely the manifestation of that problem. I am sure deep down she's a nice gal and all.

I've come to the conlusion that was a misdirect to distract from the eventual Ashi ex Machina.
>>
>>93503395
There was a lot of shitty misdirection in the season. It was implied up to episode 9 that "daughters of aku" was figurative and that they were just nutty cultists.
>>
Speaking honestly. Episodes 4-10 were about what my relatively high expectations were for the finale: closure that was faithful to the original series and demonstrative of Genndy's directorial hand, nothing more nothing lest. Episodes 1-3 had suggested that we might get something a little more complex and so I was disappointed from that nose-grindstone perspective, but big picture, it was satisfactory.

And I am neither surprised nor miffed that it was "merely satisfactory" when it could have been so much more. Genndy has a long history of doing that for me, particularly with Sym-Biotic Titan.
>>

It really was and even then all we got by way of explanation was " I gave these cultist some of my essence that one time." Wtf even? How did that even work??

To be honest Scaramouch was too goofy, so was Aku.
To be honest episode 1 didn't quite move things properly, it felt like episode 1 of Korra where they waste too much time establishing things. (except that Gendy only hinted what happened in episode 1 and it later took one more episode to actually explain what happened to his sword)

Episode 3 was also kind of lacking in resolution, suddenly Jack can just grab their weapons and kill them easily.

I can't stand the fact he turned Samurai Jack back into a cartoonnetwork comedy action cartoon.
The weakest points of SJ was that it was the creator of Dexter's Lab who made it, which means it will have that retarded autistic form of humour which only 8 year olds enjoy because of how dumb it is.

He should have went full artistic and adult like in episode 3 when he was bleeding and the episode with the blind archers.
Why could Secret of Kells manage something more mature, but not Jack?

Bargaining i guess

the other day i had a dream where i was on a movie theather and i was watching a samurai jack animated movie that retold season 5 only difference was the ending

>Ashi opens the portal but aku pushes her and gets inside the portal with jack
>while traveling in the portal aku tries to make another portal back to the future
>but doing that creates a paradox that sends aku and jack to a limbo dimension that is completely empty
>in that dimension they have a last battle one on one
>the battle is beautifuly animated even better than jack vs the shinobi
>Jack barely manages to finally kill aku
>Jack is alone in the limbo dimension and meditates reflecting about all of his adventures
>suddenly a portal opens
>is the scotsman and ashi
>Laddie you(insert long ass insult here) we finally found you, this girl is definitely your type
>lets go back back
>suddenly one of the gods appears and tells jack that he must make a choice
>another portal opens
>samurai it is time for you decide what is more important to you
>your past or your future

Then i fucking woke up so i couldn't see how that samurai jack movie that my mind created ended

Cass does resemble Ashi a bit now that I think about it.

They both had shitty parents too.
Her mom was Lady Shiva, basically just the high priestess with a budget.

I mostly agree, but I thought Aku's role in the season made complete sense. Jack vs. Aku already established in the original series why they're at an eternal standstill, so it makes sense that both of them would eventually lose hope. It would take an external force, such as Ashi, to make either of them regain their hope.

Already at acceptance. And I've accepted the labor of giving you guys the ending that was expected.

P.S. here's a small redesign of Ashi for Cut Into Darkness courtesy of dariu-s

I'm just happy we got something so incredible to be honest

>one moment Genndy is the savior of Western Animation
Anyone who was saying this was a shill. Samurai Jack was the only notable thing he ever produced, and even that is a little overrated, it was basically 24 minutes of walking around with a brief fight at the end of each episode. Dexter's Lab was hit and miss (It was one of my favorite cartoons growing up, but even then some episodes were a SLOG to get through), don't care for Star Wars, only remember SBT for the booty shake, and Hotel Transvestite was terrible.

>and then he becomes a unforgiveable hack just because he killed off /co/'s flavor of the year
You might be half right, but people were calling him out before the final season even finished and Ashi pulled a Future Biff Tannen in Jack's arms. Sometime after episode 3, he forgot he was working on an Adult Swim show, and we went back to fighting robots and monsters. Ashi's mothers death was laughably underwhelming to the point where even the biggest Genndy apologists were saying "S-S-She'll be back and they'll have an even bigger fight!". The final battles with Aku (future and past) were underwhelming as well.
>>
Where am I? Chapter 9 of the fan fiction I'm writing, just to give these two a happy ending.
>>
>>93505726
Sacrifice fan service for the sake of a better story. People already justify the underwhelming usage of Aku as, "Well the show was never really about him anyway!" So I don't see what the problem would be.
>>
>not choosing/creating a headcanon for yourself
>not moving on with restored heart/sanity

I was an Ashi fag but jeez people, time to fucking move on. Dwelling on this shit is like picking at a wound that cannot scab over because you keep it open.

Acceptance.

I've come to terms with the fact that the show is over... forever, and there is nothing we can do to change/undo the ending that Genndy decided would be best for the show; I have moved on.
>>
>>93489110
Did all of that. And at anger once again because you fucking reminded me. What the hell Genndy. You fucking hack. You wasted like about 7 episode for that piece of shit of a monkey face waifu. Fuck you.
>>
>>93489110
There is no way. She's a literal daughter of Aku in the future, which Jack killed in the past. You must accept that shit.

>>93489110
acceptance, shes gone and never coming back. Im playing KOTOR2 as Ashi for one final good bye
