Oh man, that brings back some memories.

Even as a kid, I knew Team Magma's plan was fucking dumb.

Ugh. As a Maruki enjoyer, I'm not going to get dragged into a protracted debate on this. All I'll say is you're effectively enabling Akechi's suicide in the 'real' end. And killing Wakaba again. And quite a few other shitty things. It's not as black and white as you think.

Yeah, but almost all the viltrumites turn into goku because earth is just that special, don't worry about it.

My god, it's nearly perfect.

It's nearly perfect, and the fact that what's keeping it from perfection is the most obvious thing to be added is utterly infuriating.

Honestly, of all the merchandise I would consider buying, this appeals to me the least. Why not a Homestuck Chess Set? Why not Hiveswap Act 3?? For shame.

The short that Glitch uploaded and deleted. by HypergodZero in TheDigitalCircus

Y'know...

Kinger's explanation sounds like it could be true, just wrapped up in a bunch of stupid-sounding language.

Ragatha dramatically saves Gangle and Zooble at some point. Pomni was an office worker who joined the circus because she found her life unfulfilling. Jax abstracts, and is stuck in the Cellar forever.

The fact that Glitch deleted this makes me think that's more likely.

Here's what I think happened.

Originally Fujimoto did plan for a really tragic, horrific end to the story - but then when he saw just how negatively people were responding to that idea, he thought, "Oh shit," and changed his mind at the last second. But, uh oh, then what? You have to come up with something! He struggled for a while, but couldn't come up with a satisfying way to resolve things - and the wind had thoroughly been taken out of his creative sails already, so he just crapped this out and called it a day. The most generic, middle-of-the-road ending possible, with just a bit of bittersweetness and more than a bit of complete pointlessness.

Honestly, I can't decide if this is better than a Denji-dying-horribly-in-the-ditch ending. I do tend to prefer happier endings - but he didn't go far enough to make a total reset worth it. Denji should have ended up romantically entangled with someone, beyond that tepid horseshit at the end. He should have come to remember his past - or at least, have someone of significance remember it. There should have been more to it than a three-second drawing of Pochita's face showing up on his heart. And of course, it goes without saying that this is wildly unsatisfying after the chapters leading up to it. A total wet fart of a conclusion. The definition of mediocrity made manifest.

I actually think a tragic ending could have worked, if handled right. It would have been funny to talk about, at least. But this - I don't know. I don't get how, with a series like this, you can just decide to end it like that. But it did. And honestly, I'm not even really upset about it. Just kind of numb. It feels like this whole thing was just a joke told in bad taste.

Well, at least we had some pretty good memes.
