You people are just never satisfied

It ended exactly the way it was supposed to. Jack defeating Aku and saving the world. That's it.

What would YOU have done, if it was so terrible? How would YOU have ended it?

I would have at least listened to my fucking fanbase and not ruin a great show that so many people grew up. He's a fucking hack and I'll never get hyped up for anything if this is what it leads to

>What would YOU have done, if it was so terrible? How would YOU have ended it?
Bring Scotsman and the Scots daughters back to the past.

Let jack have a wife and not be the lonely emperor. I hate being alone and I don't want jack to be alone.

Epilogue ending with Future King Jack encountering the Guardian to go back to the alternate future.

He did listen to his fucking fans.

I mean, it was fine. It was just way to quick. It should've been a 44 minute episode. It went from Ashi fighting Aku to Ashi disappearing in like three minutes.

>What would YOU have done, if it was so terrible? How would YOU have ended it?
Maybe focus on the guy the show is named after or something, I don't know. Either way, it's not my job to make it good, it's his. Doesn't take a cook to taste bad food.

People wanted King Jack with an army of all the people he saved to defeat future aku, then him meeting the guardian and travel to past to defeat past aku. With both timelines intact.

>Wahhhh my show ended with a satisfying yet bittersweet ending I wish it was gritty and depressing

Just enjoy the show you fuck

While it had pacing issues, this was a fine ending. Lots of funny bits, lots of callbacks, ending on a bittersweet note.

A bunch of obstinate nerds stomping their feet on Sup Forums doesn't mean shit.

Build the episode around Jack returning to the past and defeating Aku? That part was maybe 3 minutes and had next to no buildup, which is horrible for a show known for strong and deliberate buildup/payoff. Instead we got a big battle akin to any action blockbuster of the past 5 years for 2/3 of the runtime and a flimsy bittersweet "moment".

>Jack killed Aku in the past, so Ashi could never exist in the future

Alright, but...

>Ashi could never exist, so she could never create the time portal, which means Jack could never go back to kill Aku

Either acknowledge the paradox or don't. This honestly doesn't make any sense.

And it did. Sure, it had some scenes focusing on Ashi, but they didn't make Jack nonexistent.

In the same way, but i wouldn't have included ashi and developed more into aku/jack's relationship and final battle

see, jack spent over 50 years in a world that became his own over time and he destroyed it by killing aku. I would have focused on that.

I honestly feel Jack should have stayed in the past. It's just that all those characters in the future like the archers, Scotsman, the spartans, dog archaeologists, etc. Well they all don't exist

>Remove Ashi and Romance.
>Give Jack a rival on Aku's side who was from the same clan as him and a samurai.
>Jack vs. Rival for his sword and penultimate battle.
>Jack vs. Aku for the final battle.
>Jack accepts not being able to go to the past, but rebuilds his nation in the future as an ageless hero to the people.

>satisfying

Really, just split the final episode into two or make it an hour long special. First episode is fighting Aku/killing him in the future, having everyone celibate as their tormentor has been defeated, but Jack is depressed because he'll never get home. Dog guy or some other smarty pants comes up, goes "wait a minute, Ashi, do you have ALL of Aku's powers? Does that include the one that sent Jack here in the first place?"

Then we get some heartfelt goodbyes, everyone thanking Jack for all he's done, etc., and then he goes to the past. He and Ashi kill Aku quickly (doesn't need to be dwelled on at all since we already got his last words in) and we get some time to decompress. Meet Jack's mom, everyone gushes about how sweet of a couple they are, stories are told, etc., and then we get the wedding where Ashi dies. That's it. All you had to do was not shove Aku's death and time travel into five minutes and the finale could have been so much better

Memes.
The Ending needed more Memes.

Ashi died because her life depended on Aku, it wasn't time paradox related.

Is there a way to do this AND have Ashi stay with Jack? I mean they both travelled back to the past and then she disappeared in the past. If Jack goes back to the future, we'll get all his old friends back but no Ashi.

It was satisfying. Not the one you wanted but all loose ends were tied.

I like how you took a 22 minute episode and only described a minute of it.
Great job.

Maybe fucking an actual fight between Jack and Aku

>Give Jack a rival
That's some dumb shonen shit right there.

>JUST LIKE THE ENDING YOU PIECES OF SHIT WHO CARES IF IT'S RUSHED, HACKNEYED, AND UNSATISFYING

imagine being this much of a fucking fanboy

Did you really have to type out all those "HA"s? Couldn't you have just used like 3?

>ashi died
>jack ended up in his time line again
I'm already content and I can now move on. hell,
retards in Sup Forums still react to ponies as if they're still popular, the SJfags will still continue to complain why this show isn't the perfect 20/10 show they envisioned

No ASHI gets to fight Aku user

Even if that were true, that's not what satisfying means.

She specifically said that she was vanishing from existence because killing Aku in the past meant she would never be created in the future

>giving Jack a rival for literally no reason since he Aku is already his rival

>show sets up for Jack to go to the past
>Jack doesn't go to the past

It feels so good sometimes went its played right though. Plus it would give closure to Jack's entire clan in the future instead of them being ambiguously completely gone.

Honestly Jack staying in the future would have been much more kino
He still saves the world, but is unable to undo the centuries of pain and suffering. Good bittersweetness instead of the dumb Ashi shit.

It would have been really cool. Predictable, but every option was predictable at this point.

Why would anyone be satisfied with a rushed as fuck ending?

>>show sets up for Jack to go to the past
>>Jack doesn't go to the past
Fuck this fucking argument and all the retards who spout it
If he really wanted to go back to the past so much, why didn't the show end in the fifth episode of season 1?

>endings should be a cliched one when I like it
Are you that asshat that wants every harem series to end with a tsundere end?

Kill Aku in the future, Jack says his goodbyes, Kill aku in the past, Reunion with his family, 2 minutes of rebuilding the lands then 3 minutes of scenery porn.

>given 10 episodes
>expecting it not to be rushed

Well, technically there's still a Jack in the future, I wonder if they are going to do something about that.

Anyone else feel like Jake going back to the past undos any sort of weight the series held? Like, now none of it will never happen, and Jake's memories of all of it and everyone will probably fade away just like Ashi did.

Jake shouldn't have gone back to the past.

>some scenes
Over half the show focused on her.
>part of episode 1 focuses on Daughters
>entirety of episode 2 focuses on Daughters and how big and strong they are
>entirety of episode 3 focuses on Jack killing the Daughters with like 10 minutes focusing on the concept of "first blood"
>OH BUT MAGICALLY ONE SURVIVED and episode 4 is all about Ashi's bitching except for the last part which was all about muh ladybug
>episode 5 is more Ashi bitching but then she just changes her mind and fights alongside him
>episode 6 that SHOULD focus on Jack's struggle focuses on Ashi meeting everyone Jack's saved instead and the only resolution to Jack's conflict is Ashi just telling him he saved people so it's okay, five minutes are spent on her bathing and changing clothes
>half of episode 7 is Ashi showing how strong she is and how protective of Jack she is and how she can stand up to her eeeeevil mother
>episode 8 is entirely focused around Jack's new relationship with Ashi
>episode 9 focuses on Ashi
>episode 10: Ashi fights Aku's control, magically keeps his powers, then they BOTH go back to the past, then a big deal is made out of her disappearing at their wedding even though she should've disappeared IMMEDIATELY
It was literally Ashi: Daughter of Aku, With Special Guest Samurai Jack

I'm sorry Genndy, but a pretty background with no dialogue a good ending does not make.

Come up with an ending to SJ that isn't cliched

he's not though because he came back right after he left

>Everyone's butthurt for the finale
>tfw I don't give a shit because the original intro got referenced in the episode
feelsKINOman

>What would YOU have done

44 minute finale instead of 22
Ashi doesn't die
Aku screams "SAMURAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII" one last time during the slow motion sequence right before Jack impales him.

Yes, that's what I've been saying for the past hour
He has always cared more about helping people in the present instead of undoing everything, why did he suddenly change his mind and become okay with wiping out all those people just so he could fulfill his """purpose"""?

Honestly this ending is right down the middle for a compromise I mean tumblr wanted father/daughter, I don't know what reddit wanted relationship idk, and here on Sup Forums mostly wanted Jack to stay single anyways but I digress.

>Star of the show not being Aku
What are you, gay?

>but one magically survived

jack fell from the tree too, moron

The introduction with the original opening and I think even Mako as Aku was perfect

It ended just the way it was supposed to, but everything was poorly executed. Jack retrieveing the sword was poorly executed, jack going back to the past was poorly executed, jack killing aku was poorly executed.

Everything was rushed because thye had to shoehorn the stupid romance subplot and a character that literally nobody likes.

>Ashi doesnt die

I dont see how ashi can live, since she does have part of aku in her. So with that set in stone, it was confirmed she was going to die either way.

It was great but made me realize how based Mako wasn't part of the finale. Baldwin tried his best but it just didn't work.
That was great though.

Unrelated tangent: I know fuckall about music, but I love BGMs of this sort. The all-consuming, epic, yet reflective and melancholy feel, punctuated by a strange, ethereal voice singing lyrics impossible to distinguish.

Anyone know any soundtracks, bands or songs similar to the one that played in the ending?

I was okay with the ending but for me

>Epic final battle with Jack and Aku without much assistance from Ashi aside from her temporarily breaking free to toss Jack the sword
>The crew hold off Ashi while Jack and Aku duke it out
>Jack wins, everyone cheers, Ashi is saved, but Jack realizes that Aku isn't really dead and will only be sealed
>Jack seals Aku in himself and kills himself to permanently kill Aku
>They both enter the realm of the gods
>Aku is now in the gods territory so they fuck him over and super kill him
>The gods cut Jack a fucking break for once and will return him to life
>Before he leaves he speaks to his father / mother which basically comes down to "You've made us proud / honored us. Go and live"
>Everyone cheers that Jack is alive. Jack reunites with Ashi blah blah blah
>Jack, Ashi, and the survivors rebuild the future
>King Jack happens, death of Aku combined with revival and such make it so he ages again
>Jack guides the future to prosperity and eventually dies. Cue massive funeral etc etc
>Shot ends with his sword on his grave against the sunlight as sakura petals shower down
>WACHA

There wasn't a "an memory" to Mako, huh? Unless my rage blinded me from noticing it.

what did they mean by this?

EVERYONE KNOWS HE'S DEAD ALREADY NO POINT OF REMINDING THEM AGAIN

>>show sets up for Jack to go to the past
>>Jack doesn't go to the past
What's wrong with that? Twists exist.

>the amount of salt on Sup Forums right now

Jack was sent to the future and back at the exact moment he left he closed the loop making it seem that Aku's portal didn't work.

No, you see, right before future Jack came back to defeat Aku, Aku sent past Jack to the future, since that was something that happened before future Jack defeated past Aku is not something that needs to be corrected in the timeline, so technically there is a Jack in the Akuless future right now.

Then she should have died immediately after Aku died, not a month later.

>Aku's lair explodes
>Jack says "it's over" and looks back at Ashi, smiling
>she's not there

The way they did it was just bizarre.

And that was equally stupid. It SET UP one of them surviving because hurr Jack lived too so one of them could've. Better end to episode 3 would be him walking away, not falling.

Either keep the season dark and remove all the cheesy episodes(keeping the bummer ending), or keep the season how it was and remove the last 2 minutes.
The ending really felt like genndy last second decided "you know while this is nice, it's too happy, it needs a sad thing to happen".
There is no build up, no referencing the possibility of disappearance, no addressing all the other future people, just "OH WAIT! THERE WAS THAT ONE TIME I REALIZED I CAN'T EXIST! DEUCES NIGGA"

Twists are the epitome of hack.
LOOK AT ME I'M SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS, I'M A FUCKING GENIUS!
Go back to your hove Whedon.

Hey asshole, why don't you fuck right off with your good ideas?

But respect?
Genndy saw this and said:
>durr well now i know where to steal a tragicending from

Regardless how people might feel.
I think we should appreciate the thicc

>People shit on Ashi the whole season, say the focus should be on getting back to the past instead of mary sue Ashi
>In the finale Jack gets back to the past instead of mary sue Ashi
>Sup Forums still hates
You fags would've hated it way more if he stayed in the future.

It should've had something that addressed the fact that all of Jack's compatriots that he met and helped in the future, like the Scotsman, wouldn't exist if he undid Aku's rule.

holllyshit. You still have that image?
I made that years ago.

I see no reason why Ashi just disappeared because then that gives credence to the idea there is only one timeline and that defeating Aku means Ashi never existed (But takes time to somehow fade away).
But under that same logic, then Jack should have never been able to go back and defeat Aku since if Ashi never existed then Jack never go back to the past. It's all a bunch of paradoxes with no solution unless you expand into a multiverse theory, which then means things are not directly connected.

I wanted to see Ashi live and Jack be with her. That they could destroy Aku in the future and past but she is still fine since she has similar powers and could exist where/when ever she wanted since she can create the portals.
Jack and Ashi save two timelines and Ashi can create portals to bring them, or others, through. The Scotsman as a ghost can see feudal Japan and Jack's home, Jack's family can see the peaceful world their son helped create. The whole time Jack and Ashi are learning more about each other and about two different worlds.
Call it overly-happy (Even though there was still tragedy throughout) but it's what I would have liked to see.

I want to believe they found a way to make it happen. Hell, they could have kept Aku trapped forever in the sword and guarded by the Gods or something and that mean Ashi can exist. Or if Aku never destroyed the time portals then that means those (and the Guardian) still exist so there may be a way if Jack things of a complex enough plan.

As for the Samurai, no one knows what became of him. Some say that he died of his wounds. Others, that he returned to his own time.

But I like to think he may have at last found some small measure of peace, that we all seek, and few of us ever find.

It was fucking shit because ashi and all his friends never exsisted. If i wrote it he wouldve stayed in the future and made what right what aku did wrong. Kill yourself

The problem isn't WHAT happened.
The problem is HOW it happened.
The season introduced a totally unnecessary major character and her entire subplot just to force cliched "tragic romance" drama instead of using any of the dozens of already existing plot threads effectively.
Not to mention it straight up just pulled TTGL's ending beat for beat while doing it even worse.

>site with 100 million people doesn't agree on things
Colour me fucking shocked!

RIP in piece niggawaifu

Reminder that the SJ series finale aired on the tenth anniversary of Kamina's death.

I really have to wonder if Genndy scheduled it that way.

What the fuck is this post?

did this doggo come back or what?

what was the fuckin- you know what who gives a fuck. the finale should've been longer so they could actually tie up the loose ends they made in that ONE FUCKING SEASON.

>captcha that isn't cars and road signs

>Satisfying
>Generic 'love conquers all' bullshit that lets him cop out of having to kill Ashi, who also conveniently Mary Sue's some powers out of fucking nowhere and sends Jack back to the past, followed up by the most cringey and contrived ending of predictable bullshit where Ashi somehow manages to not disappear until their wedding day

It's like it was written by some 14 year old that just got done playing Chrono Trigger. The moment this season hit episode 4 it just drove right off a fucking cliff. How do you start so fucking strong and then ruin the season with forced romance bullshit and generic, safe plot tropes?

not have ashi and just have a few adventures like in the old series spend at the least 3 episodes defeating future aku going back to the past and finally killing past aku

HEY GUYS GENNDY HERE, WHAT IF SAMURAI JACK ENDED LIKE THIS
>jack finally kills aku
>aishi makes the last time portal
>they go back and are about to get married when aishi disappears
>jack now sad again :((
>but then a ladybug lands on jack so its okay :)))

WACHA

what do you guys think?

>Jack goes back to the past WITH Ashi BECAUSE of Ashi's Mary Sueness
>it takes fucking forever for her to finally disappear when she should've disappeared immediately, how very convenient that it was RIGHT AT THE ALTAR
>now the world is free of Aku forever but it's still forcing a bittersweet ending despite not even mentioning everyone ELSE that no longer exists

All I wanted was the Imakandi to show up. The Spartans were a nice touch but it sucks were never got to see either of the opponents that actually beat Jack.

What do you get out of complaining about it? Do you want a fanfiction? Do you just want your dissatisfaction validated? It's not like Genndy's going to remake the ending for you if you complain hard enough.

...

regardless of how the show ended, people would have still complained.

6/10 needs more Scotsman
go back to the drawing board Gennder

The main problem is that it always felt like Jack knew the second timeline was still going to exist even if he went back, so he had to kill both Akus to be absolutely sure.
But now we're left with a stupid situation where everything's undone anyway, and supposing it wasn't, then you'd still have Future Aku killing literally everyone in that timeline because Jack's gone.

>tfw Mako came back as a part in Aku's penultimate ruse

>Is he dead?
>No, he's not. And he never will be.

That was a strange answer. Immortal Jack confirmed?

an actually good final fight

wow gennedy tartsky you've done it again, bravo

I would have given us an ending involving King Jack and the guardian like literally everyone wanted. Why would you foreshadow something and not pick it up FOURTEEN YEARS LATER when it would have been the ultimate kino to do so?

Holy shit thanks man, I tried setting this up but I guess I skipped past this option in the settings. It'll feel good to not have to hunt for those faggot cars and street signs.
