DROPPED

How can writing be this bad?

Gennedy went to the same writing school as Goyer/Terrio.

Surprise surprise, it went to shit when they added a chick

The point of it was that she realized there was a big contradiction in her upbringing.

She was told Aku was good and responsible for all the wonders of the world, which would include nature.
But then her mom killed a ladybug and said it was not part of Aku's order.

Seeing one again and that Jack let it go made her finally realize that lie.

Why do I feel like I have the exact opposite opinion on everything on Sup Forums?
I mean, this was probably the best-written part of this whole shitty episode!

Jesus Christ. He's relaxing after being in constant terror for 4 episodes. I hate people who think that in order for a show to be good, violence or action should be happening at all times. Just relax and enjoy the journey.

That wasn't the exact issue. The whole Ashi thing just feels hamfisted and I really don't appreciate that in the last season of SAMURAI JACK.

>finds beauty in nature
>her mother destroys that beauty while telling her to preserve it
>Jack preserves that beauty and appreciates it like she does
>bad writing

Are you dense?

>How can writing be this bad?
Because you're too simple-minded to really understand actual writing

Having the opposite opinion of Sup Forums is good, no?

The only thing I'm concerned about is whether Ashi will end up getting too much screen time, but I'm not opposed to her character thus far. Just wary.

She hasn't changed her whole world view yet, the scene merely illustrated that she had begun to doubt what she was taught.

You're fucking dense sometimes Sup Forums.

muh wimmenz

>d and I really don't appreciate
Obviously since you stupid as hell, the episode was brilliant like usual

sage, ignore the trolls

This.

It's not that hard. It's not brilliant writing, but it's serviceable.

bretty much
if it was up to /vp/ to come up with ideas for pokemon it'd take ONE game and the franchise woud be dead in it's tracks

>not realizing the false flaggers from April fools are back

Just report and sage

>only 10 episodes to tell the story
Well, they have to make it quick, you know?

You stupid nigger he also saved her from being eaten several times

>He actually believed brain washing and abuse can defeat THE COCK

It made sense if you aren't retarded.

>Mother says Aku is the reason the world is full of wonder and beauty
>Ashi finds a ladiebug and thinks it's wonderful
>Mother murders it and says it's not part of Aku's world despite it being wonderful in Ashi's eyes
>Jack finds one and let's it go, proving that Aku is the problem, and that he isn't the monster she has been conditioned to think of him as, and that her whole life has been wrong

She didn't quit her mission, she's just doubting it. Also it was built up from the first episode. Aku = corruption of nature.

>first episode ashi is interested in the environment outside
>second episode jack is like the wolf fighting the monstrous tigers
>third episode jack befriends wolf, ashi sees deer for first time
>fourth episode they are in a giant monster that is also an abomination of nature

ladybug was just the sprinkles on top

so Ashi is literally a fedora tipper right now

This.

All she's done is hit pause to stop and consider.

Which any sane person would have done when a supposed demon given flesh responsible for all misery wasn't particularly demonic and kept saving them, anyway.

That scene is BRILLIANT. Genndy, I f...ing love You.

God, you again?

I also like how Ashi conveniently forgets that Jack murdered all(?) of her sisters.

Why is there a 10 episode limit? That just kills the potential of the episode

Of course it's not that hard to see, just because you can see the "message" doesn't mean that the message isn't trash. By seeing a fucking ladybug she has a revelation and decides to spare the man who murdered her sisters/the man she was raised her entire life to hate and kill? Fuck off.

Your opinion is shit

Agreed.

For all Ashi knows, he could be saving her for some evil plan of his.

or genndy wants to give jack a fucking waifu in the shittiest way possible

>I also like how Ashi conveniently forgets that Jack murdered all(?) of her sisters.

Yeah... this kind of should be more of a big deal than it seems to be.

>I also like how Ashi conveniently forgets that Jack murdered all(?) of her sisters.

Ashi doesn't give a shit about her sisters. None of them give a shit about any of them, did you watch their reaction to Mulan or their complete indifference to casualties in the battle? Did you watch episode 2, where their mother terrorized sibling affection out of them?

He gave them a choice.

>I also like how Ashi conveniently forgets that Jack murdered all(?) of her sisters.


She was raised to not give a fuck to their deaths. How you missed it?

I hope Aku shows up to possess her.

this felt like the whole martha thing from BvS

like it makes sense but damn is it a stretch and shouldve been done better

These other excuses are idiotic. But are you forgetting that THEY attacked HIM!?

Ashi may be misguided, but she's not retarded.

She didn't changed sides tho.

She just have doubts.

And it's not like she was in position to kill Jack, like Batman was. She is literally at his mercy.

>I also like how Ashi conveniently forgets that Jack murdered all(?) of her sisters.
"Death is Failure"

>I also like how Ashi conveniently forgets that Jack murdered all(?) of her sisters.

I don't think she cares

Fuck, none of them cared when the first sister died

It'll only momentarily stop her as she'll need more proofing evidence and keep an eye on Jack.

But episode when Jack is saving people that are literally being harvested as an energy source for a Mega-Robot, no doubt bearing the Aku logo, would be a real slap of reality for her.

Why is it hard for you all to comprehend that Ashi was literally raised to have a disregard for life, including those of her siblings?


I don't see how Genndy could have illustrated it in a more obvious way? Are you not paying attention?

Or when one dodged and got another speared.

Or one one got pinned to a fucking tree.

>I don't see how Genndy could have illustrated it in a more obvious way? Are you not paying attention?

The only thing I think they could've done was show one of the sisters (an eighth?) die during training, and as opposed to their more emotional responses in childhood, the sisters all shrug it off with no reaction at all.

>raising a child to hate someone and kill them without question undone in five seconds within the same day of meeting them
Yeah that scene was rushed garbage and you fucks need to accept that.

It's called a crisis of faith, people have them all the time. The Ladybug was just the final straw on top of everything else.

>I don't understand human nature: the posts

It doesn't matter how indoctrinated you are, you're going to feel a connection to your comrades, especially ones that you're related to by blood and that you've trained with since childhood.

This is just shit writing, and you all are plebs for slopping it up.

>It doesn't matter how indoctrinated you are, you're going to feel a connection to your comrades, especially ones that you're related to by blood and that you've trained with since childhood.

I'm glad you never experienced an abusive home, anonymous, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

>Why is there a 10 episode limit? That just kills the potential of the episode
Because Sup Forums is fucking cursed

a madokafag would know a lot about shit writing

user is just one little faggot that likes to be a contrarian, every week the same guy makes a thread

because Sup Forums shits on everything that is even remotely popular.

Do you have any real life examples to give sir?

>anime poster tries his ahnd at armchair psychology

Really activated my almonds

Its almost as if the series was still going.

Well done copying the plot of Steven Universe.

Isnt modoka just sailermoon with shock value?

Jack's fans dont watch SU so it's ok

I watch steven universe, rick and morty, samurai jack, and voltron

Not any other cartoons airing currently I keep up on. Will Sup Forums explode? Will I fall under autism? Contrarianism? Both?
You decide!

>It doesn't matter how indoctrinated you are, you're going to feel a connection to your comrades, especially ones that you're related to by blood and that you've trained with since childhood.

Go read One Piece with all those one note characters talking about comrades all the time and pull movements out of their ass to save the day, maybe that's more your speed

was reading halfthrough and I realised I'm reading something posted by a Madokafag. And quickly replied instead

"You are seven, but now you wear the face of one"

Jack basically killed desperate parts of Ashi. If anything, this should have given her even more motivation to take Jack down so she would succeed where her siblings have failed. It made no sense for her to spare Jack after training for the sole purpose of killing him for 20 years after maybe an hour of "bonding".

Stop defending this. Literally the only reason she's still alive is so Jack can have a female companion

>he watches a lot of cartoons
>not just watching SJ because you saw it as a kid and it's fun to watch this new series
Holy fucking shit grow the fuck up. They're made for fucking children you stupid autist.

0/10

Why would it motivate her when they were taught to be individual of each other? That death is failure therefore they failed and she is the only one left to try and succeed.

Then shes forcefully rescued and then has that flash back and then uses reasoning that all humans fucking have that something isnt right and that maybe she IS being lied to. So with her realizing that there is a possibility of that now she wants to find out what the truth is.

Even with being raised for the sole purpose of killing Jack they can still decide on things for themselves and human beings do not always act on something when there is a reason to doubt it. Beyond the cult he is the only other person shes interacted with. Seeing as how they are raised then its gonna make sense shes gonna be really confused when shes told one thing then sees another.

That ending was godly, I hope Ashi gets more friendly with Jack over time.
Also thanks for the hq pic gonna make it my pape.

I do

They were taught to be a single force, not individuals.

Jack literally killed parts of Ashi and she's ok with it. Watch by the end of the season Ashi is gonna be sucking Jacks dick and be like
"You know what Jack, it's totally fine you killed my sisters, I didn't even care about them. You're so cool and I love you!"

Huh...you chose autism. I expected more.

Ima make a share what you watch thread, im interested in the crossover now.

Samurai Jack is fantasticly written is my only contribution to this thread.

where is the ashi porn

WHERE WHERE WHERE

>first sister dies

>the remaining six don't mourn, they continue their pursuit
>they die during battle
>no one cries out in anguish
>they continue fighting to kill

They're mechanical and mostly soulless; they're just human. Ashi was the only one we've seen who, despite her upbringing, maintained some semblance of individuality. She's still fucked up in the head, but at the very least she loves nature and was somewhat compassionate as a child, only to have it beaten (literally) out of her.

I'd say the only reason her affinity for nature wasn't wholly corrupted was because it wasn't openly on display too often, whereas her attempts to help her siblings was.

last episode

you see them all react to the death of the first sister

they didn't care,they shrugged it off,they didn't even bloody bury her,they just left her there

that's how much they care about their "parts"

>enjoy Madoka
>every single fucking person using a reaction pic from this show is a retard

Stop ruining what I like you piece of shit

Yeah it did feel quite forced

I'm glad you ignored the fact he didn't just let her die in that giant monster, coupled with the fact the ladybug represented one of the small good things in her childhood that her mother destroyed in comparison to Jack's interaction with it.

We understand that you tards
It's still forced because of how sudden the change is

She still trained her entire life to kill Jack. Becoming friends or even indifferent after half an hour is forced and stupid.

Do you retards even watch the show?

She was clearly taught that death is failure, and since her sisters were killed they were worthless.

Quick, everyone post Madoka reaction pics.

Ready...GO!

but they haven't become friends

She just started realizing that the she might have more in common with this guy that she ever did with the Order of Aku or whatever

So shouldn't she be encouraged to kill Jack to rise above her failure sisters?
And there just so happened to be a ladybug on that island at the precise moment she was about to kill Jack, which was the same animal she saw as a child?

Come on.

What the fuck are you talking about, this board is full of Sup Forumsntrarians. There are a million special snowflakes like yourself who have all the same opinion.

Every time she tries to get Jack killed she's putting herself in the same danger. So why would she care about the lives of her sisters if she doesn't even care about her own life?

Also you're reading way too deep into the "you are one now" line.

>implying she wasn't trying
lol

...

>So shouldn't she be encouraged to kill Jack to rise above her failure sisters?

No? They have no bearing on her.

>And there just so happened to be a ladybug on that island at the precise moment she was about to kill Jack, which was the same animal she saw as a child?

Yeah wow how strange that one of Earth's most common insects could be found in a supportive habitat.

No, they were taught to fight as individuals. There was no "all for one and one for all" mentality in any of their training. It was beaten out of them. There was no stopping to help if one of them got into trouble, no mourning if one died. They were entirely disconnected from the other. They might as well have been acting as strangers. That's why you don't see any kind of emotional reaction in any of them when the first sister dies.

>And there just so happened to be a ladybug on that island at the precise moment she was about to kill Jack, which was the same animal she saw as a child?

Are you new to television and films?

It's called a plot device.

We don't even know where this is going. We just know she's doubting some shit about her upbringing because the man she's been sworn to kill behaves nothing like the image of the man her mother and cult created for her.

>just so happened to be a ladybug

A bug just so happened to cleave the claw of another bug so that Jack could use it as a sword.

There just so happened to be a carapace around for Jack to use as makeshift armor inside the belly of this monster.

There just so happened to be flying creatures in the back (nasal?) cavities of the monster Jack and Ashi are trapped in to help free them from their bio-prison.

It's not out of the ordinary for things to just 'happen'. They're there to move the plot in a limited amount of time.

She contemplated murdering him but did not find it in her.
I think she sees a connection in their mutual affection for small, peaceful things, something she was punished for by her mother.
He is the first person to ever show her kindness. By that point he saved her ass a dozen times, ignored her yelling, insults, kicking, attempts to kill him...
She wants to kill that guy, but damn if she doesn’t see reasons against it stacking up.

Ashi's nature and individuality has been suppressed for her entire life and now that for the first time in her life she is really in charge of her own life (and, frankly, finding her assigned task to be completely and utterly futile), she's remembering all the time her individuality has been crushed and wondering if she really has to do what she was programmed to do.

A 16 year old locked in a cave and trained in fighting their entire life isn't going to have a complex understanding of morals. She isn't going to be looking for things that prove her doctrine right/wrong and she's probably not even going to care if she stumbled on any. She might feel things about things seeing her sister-companions slain in front of her, but trained to suppress all emotions and raised in a cult that devalues life, she's not going to know how to express them. But she IS going to have a strong sense of self and going to be eager to rebel against her "purpose" when she is given the opportunity to behave and experience things she's never been allowed to.

It's ok guys. The shows not perfect.

No has even said that. You're just being retarded.

How can you even criticize a show that you clearly can't even follow? I mean, Ashi not caring about her sisters was hammered in pretty well.

Pretty much.

Anyone have the link to the latest episode?

No one said it is.

I just like how people are singling out this one thing when there's a fuckton of other 'issues' that are in it.

>a ladybug
>a

There were fucking swarms of them flying around. It was clearly some sort of hip ladybug hangout where they get drunk and fuck.

are you kidding me

>The show wasn't perfect?

Oh it wasn't? Then come up with a valid criticism.

Pro-tip: you can't.

>It's a "trapped inside a giant monster" episode

Y'know this show used to be a pretty nice homage to Akira Kurosawa but then it had to get all generic and shit

The episode ended literally right after she saw that. Nothing indicates that she's immediately going to forgive Jack for everything.

So did you say that the first time he got trapped in a giant monster all those years ago? Or are you just a newfag poseur?
