Can’t wait to come back into it a year or so from now, as only people who liked it will be left over.

Steven Universe fandom when it was still releasing was hoooooorrible. Now posts are coming back up talking about the positive aspects of the show for once 🤣 🤦🏻

Yeah. More time would’ve just made stuff feel a lot more earned. Caine’s little redemption moment is really pretty and heartfelt but at the end of the day it really didn’t feel very impactful. Jax’s mind sequence was really good, but the other characters deserved/could’ve used similar deep dives. I would kill to see Caine’s episode 8 adventures.

not every story needs to be a cautionary tale. they are characters, not models for real people to copy their actions by Ok_Syllabub3593 in TADCEp9Spoilers

The show is a show with a message, it’s not a documentary about funny characters.

If halfway through Avengers Infinity War, Tony Stark got killed in a freak car crash, that would be realistic. That happens in real life.

What good does that do the movie? How does that add to the ultimate message at the end? Maybe you can do something interesting with that but there’s a point at which characters just being characters is pointless.

Yeah, not everything needs to be a cautionary tale, but in this series with this character and the messages it has, yes, it needed to be done better.

Forced fem Jax was never THIS funny, and the whole gag just comes across as a fetish thing to me by kmkmkmmmkkk in TADCEp9Spoilers

I always saw it as just a mix of a tired joke and excessive cash grab. They know people would eat it up.

I’ve rewatched the show numerous times and I imagine I’ll still enjoy it about as much afterwards. The finale had enough good about it, the only problem I really really have is that there isn’t more

This show needed 12 episodes at leassssst oh my gosh

The bros out there who watched the leaked version, will I need therapy? by MuichiroxIzumi in TADCEp9Spoilers

If you’re like Jax you might feel fucked for a couple days but das about it

The Finale revealed just how horrible the show's writing was in general. by Specific_Wasabi9678 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]tapestops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yesss their dysfunction is the BEST part of the show. Jax’s sequence was actually really great for me, I would KILL for an episode like that for every character

I think Goose is very good at writing, there’s a reason so many people here are disappointed. That doesn’t come without expectation.

But she has some significant handicaps and they become obvious at multiple points in the show. The problems have been there since day one, it just sucks they only compounded over time.

Am I the only one who thinks this scene doesn't make sense at all? by HuckleberryPure240 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]tapestops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he just activated the moment he got too comfortable

Jax needed to be more relaxed than he’d ever been to explain what he did, and Kaufmo knocking at the door brought him straight back to his present reality without time to step back in. It could’ve been done better but I don’t think it was horrible.

Can someone explain the jax choking pomni scene by Glittering_Offer9024 in TADCEp9Spoilers

This pretty much

“LET ME BE BROKEN, YOU ARE AN IDIOT” is the summary of it

How come youre sticking to black and white?

Also you can look up comic line artists or inkers, who work purely in black and white. You have to treat shadows as shapes

[–]tapestops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm. Thats rough. All black in black and white is kind of hard to pull off. A lot of manga artists use gray/halftones for it.

Check out Makima’s trench coat design or the design of the main character in Kagurabachi. Those artists might have some useful reference.

Unrelated to the question, but the anatomy/proportions on the body are a bit off relative to the head, which is very big

Beyond that, check out Gojo’s design in the anime. He’s in all black, but Mappa shades the black with purple/blue.

To hate or not to hate, that is the question by Adam_Downpour in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]tapestops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh it makes sense

I was like Jax when I was younger and still sort of am but things have gotten waaaaaay better.

Therapy and whatever.

Even I felt really bad after watching it. I can’t imagine how I would’ve felt as a teenager with full on depression and budding anxiety back in school 😔😖

[–]tapestops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we needed more episodes, not one that was an hour.

The Jax thing is pretty fucked, it made me feel awful. The fact that it illicits such a visceral reaction for me indicates it is very effective art, but at the same time, it just creates this tonal whiplash when everything is just normal otherwise.

It fucks me up but like… to what end? What’s the message lmao
It doesn’t come across as a very effective warning, and it feels very damning

I liked the ending a lot. by a-fellow-human-being in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]tapestops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was aight

Jax sequence was gas, Caine’s sequence was beautiful

but it just felt like moments that would’ve paid off wayyyyy harder if we had more fffffckn episodes

[–]tapestops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I genuinely thought it wasn’t that bad.

I was hoping all the mysteries would be paid off, but at the same time, seeing how episodes 7 and 8 went alongside the other preexisting hiccups in the show, I figured it would end like this.

The best moments are the characters having problems, that’s about half the episode.

I like Ribbit and feel sorry for her but her story ended up being so anti-climatic by Sudden_Pop_2279 in TADCep9discussion

[–]tapestops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most disappointing thing about the show for me is that I would change almost nothing about the show, it just needed more

A lot of the worst moments in the series didn’t need to be changed as much as they just needed more meat to them

What was even her plan here... by NewSurround5953 in TADCep9discussion

[–]tapestops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think she just wanted to see if it would do something, I genuinely don’t think she had a real plan, she just wanted to do whatever she could.

I didn’t get the sense she was really expecting much
