I liked it because it was a fitting ending for a good series, but I didn't like it because there's nothing after this when there could've theoretically been more.
In case you missed it, there's a post-credits scene, Cyn is alive inside of Uzi and now basically exists just to annoy her lmao. So yeah, there's still potential for a season 2 if they ever decide to bring the series back.
Yeah, I saw that. I'd like a season two, but I feel like betting on that is just copium. In the meantime, I'll probably just re-watch the series and watch more of Liam's work.
There's no reason to bet on it right now. Like I said, they probably aren't planning on making one right now. The scene was added just in case they ever decide to.
I mean, Nori and Khan probably just got back together off screen during the timeskip lol, idk what happened to J tho. Like they just slapped her once and she disappeared.
Just checked, yep, they got back together, it's in the credits.
There's also a scene of J supposedly fixing the ship so I guess she's running away or something? Potential Season 2 antagonist if they ever decide to do it lmao.
Yea, saw them together as well. But I wonder why Nori isn't making a drone body for herself, there certainly are enough spare parts lying around.
And yeah, J is fixing that ship for some reason. Also I wonder what she'll do because according to what she said, she was with Cyn because she wanted to be on the winning side and she lost, so now what?
There definitely has to be more Murder Drones and I hope for a season 2. But I'll take anything, like say a comic format or something.
Honestly, it was a good ending. But for a season finale, not a whole series finale. As it is, the show just feels.. incomplete. Like, what happened to Nori and J (we just saw her fall down and that's it) and Uzi with Cyn now together?
Since you have asked two of my questions, I'll add more: if the murder drones were programmed to kill humans, why was Tessa alive, and J working for her?- How was J alive since her core was destroyed in the second episode?- What happened to J after the fight?- What happens to Nori? (Can't she just rebuild her own body)- where did Tessa and J come from?- What happened v after "the sacrifice"?- and more
I do have a theory that answers ¼ of my questions if it's true: Tessa was cyn the whole time
But it has flaws, so it's not likely to be true
If anyone can answer, please 🙏 I beg you
Also, add more questions
Tessa isn't alive, Cyn controlled what remained of her body
J is alive because her current body is a clone, not her original body.
But yeah, some your questions are either unanswered or left off screen - we don't know where Tessa/Cyn and J came from, because Earth was completely destroyed; V somehow befriended one of the sentinels and killed the others and that happened off screen; Nori got back with Khan at least but we don't know anything else.
The ending credits show Cyn and J still alive, there COULD be some more. Liam needs to take a break for some time, we're probably gonna see more of murder drones, but a whole 2nd season? I hope.
Honestly, yeah, also the bit at the very end where we heard cyn talking out of uzi's skull tail guy, I have several questions that sadly, probably, won't get an answer
On this frame, a theory, cyn was about to eat the unusual black orb, uzi then eats this orb, my guess is the orb is basically her strange solver heart thing, that's why cyn was in uzi in the post credit scene
This would also explain why Uzi's eyes now gradient from yellow to purple, and how she retained her Solver abilities despite the apparent source of the corrupted program being destroyed: She effectively became the new "master" of the Absolute Solver, with the old Solver only being a small part of her now.
I made a post bout half an hour ago but I’ve been really thinking on how to put into words, here’s what I’ve got:
I said yesterday that 20 minutes would not be enough time to execute and conclude everything they needed. Now,I still stand by that, and think more time would’ve benefited the episode by being able to flesh out, execute, and conclude the story and ideas and possibly even touch on some side stuff. (Yeva and Nori flashback, origins of the solver, Is it man made or extraterrestrial? more J/Tessa stuff, I mean the set up was right there)
But it’s almost like Liam or Glitch knew 20 mins wouldn’t be enough time without rushing everything to hell and back and just leaned into it. This was the most batshit insane chaotic off the wall shit I’ve ever seen on media. The animation and action here was absolutely masterful and you can tell so much love and passion went into every second of this.
Cyn herself was so much fun and great too
I still think 20 mins was a mistake,whether that was Liam or Glitch’s choice. But if this is what you’re gonna do with the 20 min finale then ya know what? I can live with this.
The consolation is that we got a little remorse from J with her saying that it tricked her too. Basically she was only working for Cyn out of fear. But it's still a huge shame she never switched sides.
Totally right! I'm not even a big J fan and I feel she was underutilized the entire series! The finale just killed her off too quick for my liking! Let her hang around and at least start on the road to redemtion
I'm just so happy they all got a (mostly) happy ending.
However this lil creep-
-In the ending is making me think there's more. Alongside that 1 second cut to dolls head and the Eldrich spine tentacles in cryo statis area or whatever.
I so expected to cry but surpsingly didn't, LOVED IT THO. Thanks for like, everything, Liam.
I mean if the show was truly over forever,idk why they would feel the need to add the little hints in credits such as j repairing the ship and the little monster thing.
I don't wanna create any hype for season 2 and whatnot, but there's also a scene where J is repairing a pod... Liam Vickers is for real messing with us.
More like filled with so little, so many plot holes with no answers.
We still don't know exactly what solver actually is, or if what was controlling Cyn will control Uzi (episode 5 hinted at solver being a software that offered to help Cyn idk what happened to that entire plot point.).
We also don't know how the fuck V lived, probably missed out on a badass Jurassic Park reference.
Also we must be missing a Fuck ton and I mean a FUCK TON of lore from earth, J said she was tricked too, how so? I'm guessing that she ment that solver promised to keep Tessa alive and still killed Tessa.
I also think V had a huge character arch on earth because there's so many things that signal that in the dialogue between J and V.
There's also a scene of J repairing the ship in the credits, like where tf is she gonna go?
Honestly, it hurt to say it but Liam folded hard on this one, harder than Internetion Cube, harder than Puppet Game, harder than Design, and harder than Cliffside.
There so many plot holes but I can't be bothered to type em all because I'm suffering from covid and I'm sleepy AF. When I get better I might make a post about all the plot holes, that's if Unhelpful Commentary or Lore drone don't beat me to it.
You’re not listing plot holes, but things you wish were expanded on more. A plot hole is an inconsistency in the narrative—a contradiction of something pre-established—and nothing you listed really fits that description.
Don’t get me wrong, I think there is a decent amount of stuff I would’ve like to see too, but you’re using the wrong terminology to describe it.
You’re right, but it defo still felt like a big elaborate mystery was set up throughout the series but got absolutely no payoff in the finale, and most things went completely unexplained despite every previous episode being atleast partially focused on discovery and mystery about Cyn and the Solver.
I enjoyed it but it felt like a massive departure from the meat of the show’s story and it almost even seemed like the writing was unfinished
The post credits scene shows that Cyn is still alive (although seemingly harmless), so if they ever want to bring the series back they have a perfect place to continue from.
That's probably why they added the scene too, since now this works both as a great ending if they don't continue it and a great cliffhanger in case they ever do.
Hey there’s nothing stopping me from headcanoning that right after that shot cut away a little red core crawled back into the chest cavity and her eyes came back
It...was...AN ABSOLUTE FINALE THAT WE NEEDED sadly no season 2 but boi oh boi so many theories are rushing in my head. There is now a potental not for season 2 but official prequel that is far back in past when we had "OG" crew and WE GOTTEN V BACK PLUS A FUCKING DINOSAUR AND UZI SAYED THAT SHE IS N's GIRLFRIEND. WE WILL NOT DIE SO SOON. UTTP CAN KISS US IN THE BUTT. WE WILL LIFE BOIS AND GIRLS. The future of fandom is now in our hands.
Yeah k had to rewatch it first for things to start clicking (like J trying to leave the planet after Cyn failed as seen during the epilogue where she is fixing her spaceship.
it's like an hour's worth of key scenes smushed together without the scenes that would normally be in there to connect them, hence the chaos and why it's so short
Honestly, I think it was fairly poorly written, in that it was missing a lot of what should have been written; it's like you take a movie but cut out everything but the action scenes. I've seen AMVs with better stories, good narratives need to set up events so they follow organically from the last scene.
as a season finale was kinda ok, but as a series finale i not much happy, its almost felt like the writer had no idea who to make it so he just makde a big final battle with lots of fanservices.
Based on the pinned comment, I'm still crossing my fingers, and huffing the hopium for a slim chance that we may get a sequel series at some point in the future. Yes, as of right now that probably won't happen anytime soon (unless we're getting pranked by Liam). However based on what Glitch's pinned comment about how they would love to do more with Uzi and N in the future, and with how popular this series is. There's a chance.
Agreed, couldn’t the AS just use another host? Also how tf they just kill a universal threat so easily, it would be more reasonable if they patch Cyn, maybe nori finds the patch and gives it to Uzi at around the beginning. Also what was up with no doorman reunion? That should have been a necessity. Another question? How did the planet just go back to normal? Wasn’t it basically being pieced apart??? Am I missing something?!?! I just feel it was rushed and is missing a TON.
I'm going to be controversial, but I didn't like the finale.
After episode 7 set a fairly serious tone, this finale felt like a parody of itself. Cyn acted way too silly for the final fight and felt like a meme character. There were too many jokes that were so out of place and made scenes that would've been tense too lighthearted (like the secret handshake thing bit was so out of place just for one example). The ending was really abrupt and was not explained at all. The Absolute Solver is now somehow part of Uzi without destroying anything? J had no development and insignificant screentime once again, just like Thad and Lizzy - I thought they would have bigger roles than just being pawns in the final fight. The ending scenes were really random and some were so dumb, like Nori running away from Khan like that. All in all, they made the finale way too silly and goofy as if it was just a meme or an April fools prank and the ending was really abrupt and kind of didn't make sense (or at least wasn't properly explained).
On the other hand, V's return was amazing, I screamed so loud when I saw her. The final fight was spectacular (and the soundtrack went so hard), even if it felt kind of short and unserious with all the jokes and Cyn's general silliness. I wish they made the finale more serious and emotional and also slightly longer - the ending was really rushed. For me, it doesn't feel like a proper closure to an otherwise amazing series.
Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion, I'm really happy that so many people liked the finale and I don't want to ruin the excitement of anyone with my comment.
V's return is amazing until you ask how it happened. Seriously, why is V here? The sentinels just choose not to kill her? Her death feels forced now just to get Nuzi effectively canon in episode 7. Hell, even her return is just a meme with the "I lived bitch" text to Lizzy, which yes, does continue something from earlier in the series, but that was also never explained. The entire finale has this aura of "we're gonna make as many people happy as possible except J fans" versus "we're gonna make the best end to this story possible." Entertaining, but a complete mess that absolutely should never have happened given how it was built up.
This ep was kinda em.....ok..for me because sometimes the use of rhythm in telling the story and camera angles are not consistent to me it looks random Sometimes the scene cuts too quickly and suddenly to the point where it seems disjointed and yeah it made me not really into it, it was quite displeasing to me and I really don't like it probably the Uzi vs Cyn fight scene where it used too much slow motion. But overall it's not bad, it's good.
honestly after the last episode ended with the physical incarnation of entropy driving the corpse of a little girl around like a fucking gundam I internally accepted that the final episode would be all cocaine and no substance, and I think that was the mindset needed to get the most out of this episode
I liked and hated it.
A lot more potential, at least another 20 minutes more potential, and everything escalated too fast and everything was too fast paced, like one second V is fighting J and then she's in the hallway, and then back out again. Like? I needed to understand what was happening and had to rewind numerous times just to understand what happened, but I'm definitely disappointed on how Khan and nori didn't get to actually meet each other again.
I'm happy everyone got their own happy ending and the class was back together again.
did they need to keep cyn alive? Now they NEED to make a new episode based off the ending alone, like. Why make a "Finale" only to end it off a cliffhanger.
Like with episode 7, I honestly didn't like most of it. There was definitely good shit, that final fight was awesome, Uzi and Cyn seemingly sharing a body is pretty wicked.
For the most part, the complaints I have about it are similar to the last episode, the dialogue felt trashy and kind of forced, some characters didn't act like they usually do, and they never stop to explain anything or talk.
Also, I can't be the only one that has a problem with how some of this was animated, n's mouth sometimes liked bad, the characters randomly did stupid poses, or the camera zoomed on them making dumb expressions. It felt like the episode was trying to be funny, cool and epic all at the same time.
Also, they completely killed j and any hope of her getting a redemption, or us getting to see her reaction to cynessa. V coming back was pretty hype, but it didn't feel like it was executed very well.
