After having some time to sleep on it...

1) I'm not as furious as the official fandom is, but the sheer amount of unaddressed character plots and ... frankly direct implications that a lot of the main cast just died in the ending are pretty terrible. It's probably not what Hussie intended but it really sticks out, what with how well everything else was put together, that the ending just kinda jumped ship there.

2) "I'll make an epilogue somehow at some point in the future." Gee, thanks? If there was enough actual ending to make an epilogue, why wasn't it in the ending?

3) Something drastic happened to make Caliborn completely uninteresting after his LE transform. The climax doesn't even bother sticking around to see LE's defeat, so even the story CBA to care about the main villain. For that matter, LE and Bec Noir are pretty much the exact same plot: Evil guy with power cosmic is bored and killing everything. Nothing can touch them in a fight, so there's years of dicking around until their distaff counterpart shows up to cut off the source of their power and win the fight (except Bec Noir actually tangles with the main characters more than once and actually creates interesting drama). I liked the Condesce as a villain so much more.

I've seen worse endings, but this one makes me think something happened to it mid-production that disrupted a lot of stuff. Shame, because the animation was really well done for the frog breeding and what should have been the climax.

So, there is an alternate interpretation of events that can lead you to believe every character died. People are raging about it, it's pretty awesome.

I... kinda expected at least a little underwhelming, there was just too much to finish. But this feels intentionally underdone, so who knows.

Music and animation were awesome, though. and Can Town.

Crackpot juju theory: The Masterpiece fight took place in an alternate timeline where the kids and trolls tried to take on LE directly. He's a time player, so he'd have no problem escaping a doomed timeline. Since the Weapon is a retcon machine, it totally also saved those four doomed Beta kids and brought their souls in to retcon LE. Yes.

Vriska, Aradia, and the living half of Sollux totes forgot about the whole new universe and their friends and stuff, so they're chillin' in dream bubs with Davepeta, Jasprosesprite, and the ghost army, having wild raves forever and ever.

Heads too big, eyes too small. At least in today's update. Disarmed Jack was fine.

(because it turns out he's part equius, how many mysteries are even left to be solved come on)

Still waiting for a concrete explanation of the Horrorterrors. And why John's panel in the SBURB logo is fragmented.

the current potato seems to really evoke the imagery from the troll session

according to the rule of circumstantial simultaneousness and conservation of plot this means that something is going to jump them the moment they try to open the door

Seems pretty much guaranteed, yeah.

I guess the mayor won't be putting on a ring after all. Probably for the best, I think he's suffered way more than enough already.

Also, I understand why we aren't, just a (very) tiny bit disappointing that there aren't any human kids in the ghost army. Related, I don't remember seeing any Araneas at all after Game Over. Surely there were more than just the one who got melted?

I didn't say entirely passive. But there's a couple times where he stands back and let's the kids whale on Union Jack instead of trying to backstab them. Presumably because he was confused.
