A fan and academic breakdown of what makes Jack-Jack in honor of the final season.
The end is near! A season about facing the evil within oneself... a sadistic purpose for Ashi... and chewing, lots of chewing.
Do we really need a romance in Samurai Jack...? A tectonic shift in the force Jar Jar... A show, we now know, about a different protagonist.
Are you lost...? Be drawn into a meditative state... the most beautiful moments of the new season... a return to balance, terrible tea, and complete arcs for our protagonists, the special XCVIII.
Have you watched this episode lately...? You should. And listen to this cast. The immense beauty of the world of Jack as imagined in XLIX... we recite poetry, (really) for this episode... the second in our "best of the first four seasons..." The magnificent Four Seasons of Death.
Well, I guess we can stop watching now that we found out what happens to our favorite samurai... I'm talkin' bout DA SAM-MOO-RHAI! Oh, right... Jack's in this episode too, sort of.
Jack forgoes basic science to teach Ashi a lesson about the stars, or maybe a relationship is being reframed... The Scotsman is restored... err, kind of... and the free peoples of Middle Earth are amassing to take down Sauron! (Or Aku, whatevs)
Jack and Ashi fall into the belly of a monolithic creature, and we fall into a plot we have seen before. Our dissenting opinion on XCV, but why some moments see the light.
Our "best of the first four seasons" starts with an undeniable classic, Jack faces the Guardian in a land superseding even the grasp of Aku... Our analysis on why this episode is exceptional in the canon. Also, Jack is Simba! Err... or King Arthur. And will Big-Man Blue be back? Only one man has been prophesied to foretell this, and you my man, ain't that man. (Unless your name rhymes with Wenndy Fartakovsky).
Listen to this podcast to learn about Plato... because Samurai Jack is that awesome, a sermonizing samurai, able to control the elements and talk to frogs.
Who needs a "safe space" more... a shapeshifting master of darkness or lonewolf samurai?
Beep-Bop-Boop, Jack faces Scaramouche, while the daughters of Aku get equivalent kid-Jack-training, minus pretty much anything nice
Wait, we are treating Jack as a real character now? Weird...
Jack faces his greatest challenge, fatherhood and a giraffe-moose utter
