Finished watching season 5 yesterday and I must say that I am surprised that it was really bad compared to the previous 4 seasons

...Okay? You're a little late to the party, OP. It wasn't what a lot of people wanted. I'm still glad we got it. Jack deserved an ending.

>Jack deserved an ending.

Jack never needed a goddamn ending because that's never what the show was about. "Getting back to the past" was just an excuse for the ACTUAL plot of the show: a samurai having achronological adventures in a weird sci-fi futurescape.

Genndy missed the point so hard I'm amazed he didn't drop Jack's real name while he was at it.

Pretty much every episode of the first season revolved around Jack finding leads to time portals.
It took a while before each episode became its own thing.

I don't care about Ashi one way or another but I can never forgive having Jack commit omnicide against every single being from the Aku timeline so he can selfishly go back home. There was no point in all the good he did in the future if it all never happened and none of the people in it, not even his friends, could be born due to the butterfly effect.

If this is the kind of magic bullshit time travel where they'd all be born anyway, then the episode should have made that clear. This was horrible.

Her getting aku powers didn't bother me. It was a logical result of the real aku awakening her inner aku-spirit like a dumbass.

What did bother me was how the last couple of episodes were just shameless nostalgia montages that didn't even try to tell a good story, but instead crammed as many references to prior seasons as they possibly could into each frame.

Where'd he say that?

He didn't resist it either, meaning he still had the intention all along.
>Episode 8 was completely pointless
Setting up a romance angle.

if anything i was hoping for Jack come to accept that if he travelled to the past than the friends and the lives of the people in the future would be utterly become void and what mattered is that he put an end to Aku in the future he arrived in therefore signalling that he accepted that he cant change the past but he can saved the future cementing Jack as a truly selfless hero who sacrificed everything for others, sadly Ashi took more importance

They should have had it established it would operate on Alt-universe rules AND have him defeat future Aku as well. Show the people in the Aku-timeline rebuilding in the wake of his defeat while Jack appreciates his return to his own time.

Jack deserved a GOOD ending. They coulda just made up some shit without even making a new season and ended it there, but they made this waifu time paradox bullshit.

Time portals were always arbitrary goals that never EVER panned out and existed solely as reasons to meet the new character of the week.
In fact the time he finally used one was when it wasn't his goal.

Other anon meant that he didn't choose to go to the past with knowledge of the consequence, thus making it not a meaningful sacrifice.

The ending was basically exactly what you would expect out of hearing that Samurai Jack was ending and the episodes themselves were overall fun. I think a lot of people just got disappointed that the first like 3 episodes went into god tier territory and then didn't really follow up on it all that well.

The problem is that the ending is only satisfying in the context of non of the episodes having continuity like they were originally.
This season banked hard on saying "yes these adventures ALL happened" before undoing them.

Majority opinion that it was a decent run that got bogged down by trying to cram in romance. The season needed more episodes to truly end on a high note. Instead too much was spent building up a new comer and trying to make us care for her.
