>>105789253I actually don't really care for the Imakandi episode. II guess because it's just one big chase, but very little is actually going on throughout it. I think I remember Jack hijacking a car, then climbing on top of a skyscraper (that last part was intense, yes) and getting defeated by a dart, nothing else. Imakandi looked kinda badass, but they are simply overshadowed by everything else Jack has to face in the series. I don't think it's anything, say, DCAU or any action show couldn't have done at that point (plus there's not that much action going on, either).
The Guardian episode, meanwhile, doesn't even mention him in the title. It's called "Jack And The Travelling Creatures" and the majority of the episode is just Jack travelling throghout all these beautiful landscapes and meeting all these bizzare creatures to reach a portal. Then he reaches a portal and loses to its guardian, but with a great promise for the future. It's all very simple and almost seems like an ancient legend about a travelling mythical hero. It captures what makes SJ unique as a show with its focus on immersing the viewer onto the atmosphere and telling a vague yet meaningful story.
