I've come to a crucial realisation

Can we please talk about the fact, that "Goodbye" by Bo Burnham is basically MePhone's signature song rn, ESPECIALLY after II17? Because I need to talk about it

Imagine her finding her bridge but it's a bridge through the river of the dead in their version of the underworld and she finds her destiny here

The survivors gang (Paintbrush, Marshmallow, Apple, Mic, Taco, Paper, mb Knife and Suitcase?) comes back as ghosts like Bow did and posseses MePad to get to MeCloud and save MaPhone

This is not a finale. It's just can't be

And not because I dislike it, but because logically and storywise this finale just doesn't make sense

It doesn't make sense for the contestants to just kill themselfs, there was no reason for them to do so without any outcome out of it

It didn't make sense to even have hotel survivors (aka Paper, Taco, Mic and Box), because they didn't affect the story anyhow. It could be just MePad and nothing would change IF IT WAS ACTUALLY A FINALE

It doesn't make sense to conclude MePhone story like this when his story was about him finally reflecting on his past trauma and facing his abuser

It doesn't make sense to leave any other question like "Where's Bot?" and "What will The Shimmers do now?" unanswered

Yes, I now ONE's ending exist, but there's two important things to remember

1. Even though ONE's ending is open, it still concluded its story. If TNCOTO is a finale, it concludes NOTHING

2. ONE and II are still extremely different stories with different themes and narratives, and therefore they are just incomparable

Adam, Brian and Justin are storytellers. They've been writing II for more then a decade. And I just can't believe, that they will throw it away like this

And. Again. BOW AND MARSHMALLOW HAVE A PLAN

BOW AND MARSHMALLOW HAVE A PLAN

Payjay but it's "Tightrope" from The Greatest Showman (with Paper's POV)
