Samurai Jack

Why wasn't he a grandmaster samurai second only to Jack in the last season?
Like seriously other than the forced love story crap that's my only big gripe.

Because he was a joke. And the love story was fine, if rushed.

Actually I think it could have been a fun little throwback.
Maybe have him die in a joking manner as well similar to the Scotsman.

there were a bunch of episodes i have never seen, so far we are in season 3.

He's the bartender for villains who got defeated by Jack.

...

Im pretty sure they had more in store for those characters but because they had to cut the amount of episodes many things were never used.

It had its issues but the only way we're going to get better content like this is if it gets supported.

Makes me wonder what they had originally planned before it got cut. Would the guardian play a significant role?

you shouldn't support shit even it could possibly lead to better shit

shit is still shit

This sentiment and those like it should be grounds for permaban.

The only shit thing here is your taste, faggot.

nothing more than a lazy vehicle for different fight scenes

a huge waste of potential with the future setting, and also squandering the aku character by turning him into comic relief after the pilot episode

You might have a point. They could have done more with the setting. On the other hand, I liked the minimalist approach they took to the world, and the series as a whole.

But that's why people like it.
It's like saying Batman: Odyssey is bad because of how incomprehensible and insane it is. That's the point.

I don't think anybody knows what the point of Batman Odyssey is

Half the time, without context, you couldn't even tell Jack was in the future. He was in a forest or generic canyon fighting non-descript monsters and demons that could have been from any time period.

So what was even the point of sending him to the future? Very few episodes ever actually had him in that cool Aku-ruled dystopian city.

Oh, and I should add on to that, Aku's future rule actually seems pretty okay considering how evil he's supposed to be.
He lets alien refugees stay on his plant as long as they build him statues once a month, for crying out loud.

and to give a good example of how poorly thought out the world is, how about aku always needing to hire assassins and mercenaries except for when he conveniently has an army of demon minions when the plot calls for it?
like demongo popping out of nowhere as if we should know who he is.
or Aku's demon slavers that appeared in the pilot, and literally only made one more appearance when the plot called for Jack to have human-sized foes to disguise himself as. Then never appeared again.
How convenient.

this isnt a good thing
they explain who he is
I sincerely dont see the problem, I dont exactly get the vibe from your post that its bait, but I cant tell what you actually dislike it seems to me like you are saying "its bad because its good" but that dosnt make any sense

I just always had high hopes for it based on my own assumptions and what I heard other people say about it. So I marathoned the whole show in preparation for the final season, and I was quite underwhelmed.

did someone tell you it was a modern deepest lore show or something? the reason its good is because its NOT that

Samurai Jack isn't meant to be some grand adventure that unfolds over the course of 62 episodes, you clown.
Only modern shows actually have overarching plots like that. You're clearly young, else you'd remember the days when a cartoon had a single intro episode that set up the premise, then a bunch of stories that can be viewed in any order, then, if you were lucky and the show wasn't cancelled, an ending.

Almost none of Jack's adventures truly mattered, and no user will tell you it's brilliant because of it's story, save for a few standout episodes.
It's brilliant because of the artstyle and fight choreography throughout, and that's all that truly matters in the show.

Indeed. One episode's liner notes simply read "jack builds weapons, 20 minutes of fighting"
The over-the-top choreography and beautiful line-free art are the draws here.

don't be such a faggot, it doesn't have to be two extremes


ah so you admit the whole show is a waste of time, then. good day.

t. Aku's goon

Because he's a stupid nigger, go be a cuck back on 4chan.

so it is bait and he does want deepest loreshit with arcs and whatnot
gay

What were your assumptions, exactly?

Hey look, I found the cuckchan faggot.

You're the reason animation is completely fucked and devoid of any fun anymore.

Might I suggest Adventure Time post Lich?

Seems genuine to me, he clearly just went in with the wrong expectations.
It's still a good show, but you can't deny people hype it up way more than it needs to be, especially considering how simple it is plotwise.

samurai jack is sound and fury, mindless noise signifying nothing

Why does it have to signal anything?
Does everything have to have some "deep" meaning?
You seem really pretentious.

*signify

If I wanted a random collection of fight scenes that had no significance, I'd visit youtube.
That's not why you watch a series.

user your shift key is broken.

I could go on. Glad to find out you either haven't watched the show or are completely retarded

I'm not opposed to the concept of Jack having a love interest, but it feel so unnatural in the context of the season. It almost frames the story in a way that makes it seem like Jack wasn't able to get back to the past because he didn't have love, which is bullshit. I'm all for the show saying that the reason he was stuck for so long was because he was trying to go it alone with almost no help, which was a fundamental part of his character. They even could have had the entire season play out that way, with all the allies they showed in the last episode for 30 seconds instead being gathered over the course of the final run. Instead we got a love story that ultimately pulled the focus away from the main character, forced the pacing to be sped up, and involved more dialogue from Jack per episode than you'd be likely to see in a whole season of the original show. It's such a shame, too, since the first 3 episodes perfectly captured the original series. It really felt like I was watching the true continuation of Samurai Jack, not the Jack & Ashi show.

I must have fallen asleep during those boring padding moments.

What was that duck dodgers parody again? "walking, walking, walking…"

A failed attempt at creating atmosphere, no doubt.
Genndy did much better on Clone Wars, tbh

come on, user, just say you just hate fun.

Well you certainly can't produce a proper sentence.

Not only is your shift key busted, plus you've basically proven to everybody to have NOT watched the show past the pilot, you sound like one of those fucking autists that bolts to any fantasy book with an appendix, just to read the appendix only.

What evils lurk in the hearts of men?

nobody cares what you think

user, your keyboard appears to be broken.

what plotline?

Who let the grade schooler on 8ch?

Agreed, the Jack and Ashi show thing wasn't really as good

I was really enjoying the last season near the beginning. By the time the ghost samurai turned out to be just some random ghost with no real depth, that's when it became painful. The rest of the episodes forced the love plot like no tomorrow, and most notably, they totally wasted the last episode on character introductions.

As a top-level concept, Aashi isn't bad, and I'm glad the series got an ending. But there's really nothing well-done about the execution at all.

we just wanted to see Jack fight Aku one final time, and maybe with some help from his allies

literally no one was ever expecting some shoehorned in love interest

...

...

Because racisms.

meanwhile Aku is a powerful character that became a joke

He wasn't a fucking joke god damn it.
Jack told him he took his first steps on the true path of the samurai that day.
He should've become a badass. Instead he apparently gave up his sword a couple days after he chased after Jack.
