More Curse finale
Rando inserting himself into the scene to say āIām telling EVERYONEā and then intensely staring them down for too long before finally walking out was classic Nathan. Definitely my hardest laugh of the episode.

This is a great explanation and makes me better appreciate the finale.

Good discussion here IMO. Itās Sean Fennessey and Joanna Robinson again. Think Bill must not have liked the series since he dipped for good after the first recap.

The plan after that first episode was for Sean and Joanna to do all the recaps. Where they missed an opportunity was not doing each episode.
The finale was incredible. All the popcorn

Bahaha I just watched the finale what the fuck was that shit. I laughed a bit at the absurdity of it but that was awful. Whoever pitched that needs better people around them to tell them when their shit stinks.

I thought there was a comment early in the second recap that they were planning to mix and match among the three?
No matter; the Sean/Jo combo was the best option anyway.
I rewatched Rehearsal Ep 1 and some of my fave N4Y bits so I can get back to thinking Nate is a genius.

I mean I already said I didnāt much like the finale either, itās perfectly fair not to (and in fact Iām sure he knew full well this would be divisive), but Fielder doesnāt owe us some specific career that weāre most comfortable with. Iām glad heās gotten successful enough through his prior brilliant work that heās being rewarded with follow whatever artistic path he wants to. If I stop liking his stuff then Iāll stop watching, but I probably wonāt get big mad and review-bomb past episodes I already said I thought were good.

Of course he doesnāt owe us anything. If he only releases stinkers from here on out then heāll have given us 2 GOAT projects, which is more than most can say. But in the meantime Iām gonna hope like hell that he goes back to his old style.
To me it kinda has Chappelle energy. Where Dave just became so big that his comedy lately doesnāt even really have any jokes, itās more about just trying to be edgy for the sake of being edgy.
I feel like Fielder just threw a massive curveball in Ep. 10 b/c heās big enough now that he could.
Like we didnāt even get to see anything of the final cut of Green Queen, which felt like the whole point. Hell, you couldāve even made the finale like 90% just an episode of GQ.

Fantastic episode. Holy shit.
So that whole thing was about Asherās suicide, right?

Itās what, now?
Well none of that happened, at least not really. Its a metaphor for Asherās suicide. Think about what happened at the end of ep 9. There is no way that Whitney stayed with him after that. She was terrified. I think what we see in the final episode is the fallout from their breakup. Asher flying away is him committing suicide. Dougieās breakdown (Im so sorry, I should have listened, I should have been there) are the anguished cries of someone feeling like they should have seen the signs. And the baby? Rebirth for Whitney. She pulls out the final piece of Asher from herself (āyou have part of me in youā) and she is finally free of Asher completely, and finally happy.

Interesting theory, but I donāt think I buy it.
I donāt know where you get āno wayā from. A woman hating her husband, even being scared of her husband, unfortunately does not come close to always resulting in the woman escaping her situation. And when you consider Whitneyās emotional profile, I would think she is probably a greater risk than most to just try to accept a fate sheās unhappy with. She was unable to confront Asher and divorce him directly, so she tried to sabotage the relationship and get him to leave her. Thatās not the sort of person who is at all good at forcing themselves to sit down and actually have a hard talk with someone when thereās a path of less resistance available.

I had hopes for this, but no. Itās only 5 episodes, I think, and if so they messed up, because the pacing is like a 10 episode arc. Also for reasons completely unknown to me they changed her superpower. In the comics should mimic other peopleās moves now has energy that comes out of her hands. Iām not a comics purist, they can change anything they want, but the mimicking aspect was what part of made her an interesting challenge to Daredevil, now itās just hand powers. In any case Daredevil shows up for less than 5 total minutes.
They also were aiming for high concept but a lot of what they did was aping high concept ideas (thereās an extended silent film homage) without the vision and the family drama and banter felt generic.
Marvel needs to do something new.

But then whats the point of everything that happened? He didnt really fly away. Nothing else has happened in the series to this point that was of that realm.

I dunno, youāre going to have to ask someone keener than me. But hasnāt it hinted around the possibility that curses were real? If so, theyāre not really operating fully within the normal rules of the universe, though obviously this would be a massive leap forward from displaced chicken.
I thought Dougieās whole reaction at the end was that he thought he had actually cursed Asher into that fate after the ācosplaying as a good manā exchange.
