>>92636901Definitely not, and I'm someone who would be willing to defend this up until ep9.
I don't think I can find anything satisfying there, honestly. I though the "I met someone" joke was OK and that's about it. So yea, all I liked about the final episode of SJ was a joke they made it there.
1. The top one problem with this season was not that they didn't have enough time. It was the fact that they used the time they had in some pretty inefficient way. Ep10 was the prime example of that. Character cameo intro is probably the longest scene in it and here are my daughters joke is probably longer than final Jack vs Aku fight.
2. The final dialogue line in SJ is "I'm now explaining the audience what is happening while looking into the camera". So bad.
3. Going with actual time travel to finish it is stupid. Time travel is always stupid and pretty much impossible to do in a satisfying manner. And oh boy, here they didn't even try.
4. I didn't feel any message from how it ended and i didn't really see any reasoning behind it, apart from very immature fishing for cheap drama and "ha! we did it when you thought we won't!".
5. Speaking about the very end. It was supposed to be bitterSWEET and the authors are suggesting that we should feel happy for Jack, he is smiling, an upbeat final shot etc, but I completely do not feel it. Imo he is objectively in a worse position then when the season begun (and there he was supposed to be at his lowest).
6. The entire show did a real lot to suggest that Jack not only will stay in the future, but in fact SHOULD stay in the future. This is completely waved away by some weak foreshadowing in ep9 when he tells Ashi how he thinks about his home everyday.
7. Aku was super lame in this ep. The spike rain was ok-ish and that's it.
8. All the characters show up to help Jack and all that we learn is that some of them die and later the show suggests that none of them ever existed. Uh, ok?
