The ending was so disappointing for me.
It didnāt feel completed, which I guess is the point because they want to make additional series but it still doesnāt do anything for the current show.
With the end of season one there was a big even and large character interaction that felt integral to the characters themselves. It had a cliff hanger but I had a sense of loss, excitement, I felt satisfied.
I donāt here. What did we get?
Jinx is suicidal now and teamed up with Ekko to help save the city. Then she decided to sacrifice herself to try and kill the Beast.
Victor became a bit of a villain for about an episode and a half before being okay. Now heās just fucking gone.
Jayce was annoying to be for half of this season because the man doesnāt think. Didnāt come up with a good plan to get rid of the gates. He has a sweet heart-to-heart with Victor to get him to stop and now heās also just fucking gone.
Caitlyn feels like she didnāt really grow at all. She went from being spoiled in season one to being a dirty cop, to still not really learning the shit the underprivileged deal with. She was honestly my least favorite this entire show. I didnāt enjoy her one bit. Most of the time she was on screen, I was yelling about her being stupid, classist, a dictator, or just annoying.
I actually donāt have much to say about Vi. Her characterization has been pretty stable the entire show and her fuck ups come from her insecurities and inability to be alone. The only thing that bothers me is how at the end of the finale she doesnāt seem to show any depression over completely losing Vander and now her sister, her only remaining family members. Sheās just āitās all okay as long as I have my cop girlfriendā. It just doesnāt sit with me well.
Ekko doesnāt really have anyone now. His family unit has been completely broken now. He lost his mentor, he lost Jinx, it doesnāt show him reconnecting with Vi, because heās all alone during the vigil. A good amount of Zaunites were killed in the attack against Ambessa. Heās just there.
Mel doesnāt have an arc either. We donāt get to see how shit affects her, even though the major part of this episode is about her mother Ambessa and her death. After she dies, we see her cradling her body before Viktor starts making things get fucky. Then we see her in one of her motherās boats holding her mask in different clothes. Iām sure that means that she has taken place of her mother in their command. But again we donāt have a satisfying end.
The entirety of the end of this series is open ended and not in a satisfying way at all. I want more, but this series is over and we arenāt getting more. Now we have to wait for an entire new series. I would have been happy with this ended with a āletās see what happens nextā, but instead it ends with āyou HAVE to watch the next one if you want to feel satisfied about any of these charactersā. I donāt like that. I donāt want to wait at least another three years to feel satisfied. That was your job to put it in your goddamn finale.
