![]() ![]() Even at this show's worst, I could always believe that what I was seeing was made intentionally. This was honestly so off-putting that I honestly can't believe it's real. Then all of a sudden it randomly cuts to a flash forward, and it shows Mira, spear's daughter, fang and her two kids who are now grown up. Out of all the possible times, why would Mira choose to have sex with spear when he was burnt alive! Okay, sure, you could make the argument that Mira did it cause it was her only opportunity since Spear was about to die, but this still felt super awkward and weird. Spear couldn't consent because he was on the verge of death! And 2. This scene made me extremely uncomfortable for 2 reasons. So spear is on the verge of death and was burnt to a crisp, and Mira randomly decides to start having sex with him?! I mean what was that. Normally I talk about the episode in the order of the events, but I have to talk about the end of this episode first because I'm not even sure what I just saw. Regardless, the show has had an excellent first two seasons and hopefully it comes back for another in whatever form or setting as Tartakovsky's work is utterly amazing. The same tenderness of him calling out to her could've landed with more impact into the ending reveal without them mating in his condition. Not only when he was on the verge of death, but he just may not have had enough of the plumbing left to perform the task seeing his nose burnt off. That sequence change would've allowed for a more believable 'mating' sequence. ![]() Additionally, after all Spear has done for Mira, he has to turn himself into a charcoal briquette in order to get any intimacy from her? That moment of tenderness could have been shared after Mira discovered him sleeping after scrawling the cave paintings (which surprisingly did not reference much of his other extensive ship battles) on the wall of the Nubian abode. ![]() If the one-off 'Primal Theory' episode was introduced as a separate special, then that might have allowed for one episode to open up a heavier closure for the audience a la Gladiator's fingertip Elysium wheat fields or Braveheart's "freeedooom" crescendo with his angelic slain lover beckoning from the crowd. One could not help but wonder if it was paced for timing only to cram everything into a single half-hour episode. The quick pace of the Chieftain appearing and turning into Conan's Thulsa Doom snake culminating in the final mountaintop battle felt overly fast after all the prior buildup. It was understandable to show the harshness of his father getting killed and highlighting the reality and fact that he was still wild and did not fit in with civilization. For the negative, the final pacing felt rushed at the end of the episode after giving a prior three-episode arc with the Vikings and another with the Egyptians. The interwoven ultra-violent Alley Oop meets Conan the Barbarian is completely unique and works with the fantastical gods, beasts and Neolithic European and African characters. It was exciting to watch as a viewer, and there was no issue being invested in the characters and plot lines up to the end. Possibly one of the worst endings to a show of all time because this was a 10/10 show up until this.įirst the positives the series is outstanding, holding up to any of the current fantasy dramas. It was just disgusting and so poorly thought out.have the people who write and animate this show even understand how nonsensical this was? Terrible ending to a show that was flawless up until the last ten minutes of this terrible finale (even the weird one-off episode in the middle of season 2 was fine). The dude has third and fourth degree burns on his entire body and we get a freaking sex scene!? Why did they just not have the sex scene the night before, it would have made total sense. The end scene of Mira on top of Spear is one of the most cringe things I have ever seen. Why on Earth would they have the final battle between Spear and Mega Fire Demon be so anti-climatic? It just felt so poorly done and this should have been an episode in and of itself, not about seven minutes of a pretty blah battle. This has to be one of the worst finale episodes I've ever seen, and really it just all falls apart in the last 10 minutes. The world building, the characters, the animation, everything was top tier. ![]() Quick recap - everything was amazing up until the final 10 minutes of this episode. Hoo boy.This was an abysmal ending to the second season and possibly to the entire series. ![]()
