yeah I think satisfaction is what I look for in finales. like if the story promises something, I want to see it delivered. characters go on journeys, grow as people, develop relationships, fall in love, accomplish things, fall deeper and deeper into despair...not to start spoiling every piece of media I've ever consumed but shows with endings I enjoy or love or find satisfying, whether they're elaborate or not, fulfill the promise they made me when I picked it up. this is going to be a story about x. watch while it happens. on the way, it might become about more things too. at the end, we'll deliver a finale that matters in a way that hits hard. adventure time. mp100. the hxh anime. rgu. tgcf. bojack horseman. dungeon meshi. the untamed. I know not everyone likes as tidy endings as I do, but I do want it to say something that's relevant to the story that's being told. otherwise....like, what's the point?
#adventure time had a crazy good finale but dunmeshi's might have been the most elaborate#cql's had a bunch of holes but the most important emotional beats were HIT#mp100's was so beautiful...so was rgu's#hxh was the culmination of a journey of years that the audience spent dozens#of hours on and it was wonderful. it was the end of a long search full of wonderful friends and family#who wouldn't be there without the journey they'd gone on#they're all tv shows because that's my preferred medium. and these also happen to be some of the shows I think are the best that I've seen.#oh and tgcf. insane finales representation#it was rly good on an action and character and thematic level tho like all points were hit. when the shackles came of??? MAN#when xl piloted a statue of himself only giant?? when they all had to fight jw who was fighting with a weapon made of THE CITY?#that was insane. I loved it. but it stayed true to its themes!#it was about xl's personal journey and about all these wacky gods and about this sexy guy who's obsessed with him#cor.txt
