Two things.

1. I don't consider myself an MCU superfan. Now, I DO see all the movies during the opening week, but I hardly ever rewatch them and I'm not involved in Marvel fan culture/spoiler culture, I don't have any nostalgia for the characters (was a DC reader growing up), etc.
2. In my opinion the degree of difficulty for nailing the landing on 20ish (mostly) loosely connected movies is not even in the same ballpark as successfully wrapping up a 60+ hour television drama, or a 100+ hour narrative video game series.

That being said... Infinity War and Endgame completely blew me away.

Ng's Hot Take
It's hard to imagine how mindblown I would have been if I could have gone into IW with a clean slate. I wish I could have bonked myself on the head and not realized it was the first of a two parter, they'd already filmed a new Spiderman, sequels to Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy were already planned, and so forth. Since I couldn't do that, the deaths and surprises lost some impact for me, of course, but it was still such a cool experience. I'd never have believed that despite spending over 40 hours with all the other characters, IW could become The Thanos Show... and I'd be hanging on every word! "All that for a drop of blood" "Should have gone for the head" "Everything"- what an iconic performance, we're still going to be quoting him 50 years from now.

In a way Infinity had it easy; it's not THAT hard to blow everything up. Endgame had the much more difficult task of putting everything back together. When I realized that was going to be accomplished through some wacky time travel hijinks, I have to admit I rolled my eyes. Usually it's a lazy way out of problems that doesn't make a lick of sense and only raises more questions than it answers. And... okay so that was pretty much true here as well. But by God, was it fun to watch!

Even as a non-superfan it was crazy how much I loved watching the gang relive all their Greatest Hits through time manipulation. What's even more impressive though is how whenever things needed to get serious, they landed those moments almost flawlessly as well. I couldn't have pictured a better goodbye for Iron Man, or Cap, and I was surprisingly touched by little things like Thor getting to have some last words with his mother.

Plus the movies get 10 bonus points because when Cap does "that thing" in the final fight scene, I cheered louder than I ever have in a movie theater. It was super special for me because I SWORE I saw him move Mjolnir at that party years earlier, and Thor noticed and almost freaked out, but whenever I mentioned it people told me I was a foolish dummyhead. Take THAT, everyone!

Altogether this is the one of the easiest 4s I'll ever give out, although like I said up front, it was an easier 4 than some other series will have to earn.

Well, it used to be a great melting pot bringing together people more interested in the Contests themselves, AIM Chat, B8 projects, B8 tournaments, social games, podcasts, and posting on the board generally.

But in the final years the only people still voting were those active in the discord chat, so all that mattered was how active you were there, which obviously wasn't thrilling and meant it couldn't sustain interest.

FAIR WARNING - I promise there will be zero spoilers in the opening posts of this topic series, however everything after that could be Spoiler City. After all, we're exclusively discussing the final moments of some of the most beloved and long running series in the history of popular media... so proceed with caution!

Welcome to Best Ending Ever, the topic series where Board 8 will decide the best (and worst) endings in the history of film, television, literature, and video games. Each week we'll cover a well-regarded or controversial new entry.

For this third week- sorry, I know the topic title is a little off, but I ran out of room. What we're here to discuss is How satisfied were you with the way Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame wrapped up the original era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Last Week's Result
* Game of Thrones earns an average of 1.65
Over 55% of B8 gave GoT the dreaded "1" rating, quite the fall for what was once the second most beloved TV show on the board. Only 11% countered with "4" ratings and as a result the series might set the low bar in BEE for months to come. Most commentators said that although the back half of S8 was visually stunning and had its high points, too many of their favorites behaved uncharacteristically and overall the ending episodes felt rushed and chaotic.

Hmmm, lots of people didn't like how things ended up for Littlefinger. I get it, but I don't think "killed because a tree computer had powers he never could have known about" is quite fair.

He knew Sansa and knew her ambitions, but Arya was a blank slate to him. All the info he had is that the two girls didn't get along well together before the war, so he put two and two together and assumed (quite naturally) Arya was just as ambitious, meaning he'd be able to sow chaos by getting the girls to fight over power and inheritance and who deserved to be Queen in the North. That was a bad bet and IMO it was always going to cost him his life, Bran or not.

Now if you want to argue it was a bad way to go because taking such a risk without doing his homework wasn't in his character, I might agree with you. To be fair though he came from nothing and was always going to need to take huge gambles to grab power, and they'd come close to landing his head on the chopping block more than once before. We ARE talking about Mister Chaos Is A Ladder after all, and chaos is always messy.

Yeah now that you mention it, that would have been a good way to split up the season and drive the conflict to a boiling point.

Also we're only 3 votes away from matching last week, nice! We'll give another day or two for discussion before moving on to the next ending (which should also have no trouble clearing 100 votes- it's the biggest story of the decade).

I'm still pissed they threw away seasons of character development out the window for Jaime Lannister just to have him and Cersei die from rubble falling.

Yeah, overall that's the character arc I found the most upsetting, as I hinted at.

Even if Sansa got to a place she "deserved", her ending was awful because she'd been terrible for several seasons. They dropped the ball compeltely with her, and it was pretty clear we just had to accept she was suddenly the best thing anyone could ask for to have on their side.

This is a little harsh for my taste. I'll admit I was upset when it looked like they were setting up the sisters to be at each other's throats, but when it turned out they were just tricking Littlefinger to fall into their trap, that was okay. Alright, it was also weird when she didn't tell Jon her plan before the Battle of the Bastards. Aside from that though she was pretty on the money- right about needing to store up food for the long winter, right about not trusting Dany, right about needing to give the armies a short rest before marching on King's Landing, and so forth.

Declaring independance for the North was so weird then.

They had different circumstances versus all the other kingdoms, getting decimated by the Bastard Battle, the Wildlings, the winter, and finally the Others. I'm 100% with Sansa when she says they'd taken the brunt of the burden and literally saved the world and deserved to be rewarded by not bending the knee.

Or Varys suddenly being stupid.

Well, he was totally right about Dany. But yes, not being subtle about it and sticking his neck out like he did was not very Spider-like.

The small council making no sense, because it was filled with their favorite characters alive. Davos made little sense. Bronn made no sense at all. Sam being grand master also made no sense. Yes, it's a good end point for him, but not anytime soon.

That's a fair point, Bran talked like Tyrion having the Hand role pressed back on him was a punishment for all his mistakes, but the Council being the "All Tyrion's Best Buds Club" pretty effectively bursts that bubble.

Ng's Hot Take
To set the stage, here's what I had been hoping to see, as of the start of the final season. Cersei is dealt with in King's Landing at great cost of life, then the ragged band of survivors turn around and wage an epic battle against The Others. Pretty much everyone is killed in the struggle, including the last two dragons (ending the age of magic) but ultimately our heroes are successful and save the world. Dany ascends to the throne and Jon rules at her side, but because they can never have children, they "break the wheel" by instituting a representative democracy in Westeros (each of the Seven Kingdoms sends a representative to vote on who becomes the new leader whenever the former King/Queen passes away, it's never inherited).

With that in mind, here are my three major problems with how things went down in the back half of Season Eight. [WARNING, massive spoilers below, continue at your own risk!]

The Stuff At Winterfell
I was 100% on board with the everyone else provides distractions, Bran-as-bait in the Godswood, Arya saves the day situation. It gave weight to the hours we spent watching her assassin training over the years, and I'm fine with "The Prince Who Was Promised" ending up a Princess in the end. What I didn't like was wasting the Night King's lieutenants- they're supposed to be so fierce and terrifying, but spent the whole episode standing behind him uselessly before turning to dust. I wanted to see five of them having epic fights with some of our main heroes to keep them away from the Godswood so the NK could finish off Bran, and some of them cut down main characters while others are stopped just in time by Arya's dagger.

More importantly though, the final battle of good and evil was just way too bloodless. Sure, a thousand people died or whatever, but in terms of named characters it was just Lyanna, Edd, Beric, Jorah, and Theon. (Oh and then Melisandre afterward.) I liked all of them, but that's a pretty pathetic tally after nine years of hype over The Battle To End All Battles. At the bare minimum we should have also lost Rhaegal, Jaime (completing his redemption arc), and Tormund (saving Brienne or something).

The Stuff In The Throne Room
I was fully on board with Jon's stab- right move at the right time, given the circumstances. I'm also okay with Drogon leaving him alive (dragon blood, or something) and flying away with the body. What really bothers me, though, is Greyworm walking in on the scene and calmly putting Jon under arrest. Are you kidding me? In that situation there's zero possibility both of them leave that throne room alive. I'd have picked Jon to win the fight but would have been fine with it going either way, or them killing each other.

The Speed Of Everything
By far my most pressing overall complaint though has to be: everything happened way, way too fast! Season Seven already felt like it was happening on 1.5x speed compared to everything we'd seen in GoT prior, then S8 arrived and suddenly we were at 3x speed. Honestly the events of the last two years probably should have happened over the course of three complete 10 episode seasons, but even giving them the normal 20 EPs instead of the 13 we got would have been a huge help.

They'd spent 10 years of their life on this show, I get it. I just don't understand why they weren't willing to take one more year to complete the work and leave a strong legacy instead of rushing to wrap everything up. They had all the good will in the world and owned every watercooler in western society as the #1 most talked about event in pop culture- why rush that?

Alright so all the above sounds pretty negative, BUT as a counterpoint: I actually really liked where all the surviving characters ended up when things were all said and done! Let's talk about them.

Arya - saves the world, turns down an offer to become one of the most powerful "Lady" wives on the continent in favor of a new adventure and trying to do something else that everyone's always said is impossible. completely badass, totally in character (just like she told Ned on the stairs in S1, one of my favorite scenes), I couldn't give this more thumbs up

Sansa - the new Queen In The North will never be told what to do again (including who she needs to marry). after everything she'd been through, it's the most fitting reward I could imagine, and like she said, the North deserved it after the sacrifice they made to save the rest of Westeros. LITTLE weird for her to still demand this considering the new King was her brother who would have left her alone anyway, but that's okay!

Jon - if he needed to survive the throne room, this was a perfect end for him. he never wanted a throne or titles, instead he gets to return to Ghost and Tormond and help the Wildlings resettle in the only place where he was ever truly happy

Tyrion - was never going to be King, he drinks and he knows things and his best place was always going to be as an advisor. now, would anyone still want him as an advisor, after seeing him give Dany and Jon bad advice 100 times in a row over the last two years? apparently so! but yeah, I'd have been okay with his not surviving, but if he did live, returning to Hand is a fitting reward/punishment

The Hound - got everything he wanted and it was pretty cool, I wouldn't change a thing! (except it was weird how he just let Cersei walk by. let's be honest- she should never have been on that staircase, should have been getting digested by Drogon)

Sam - I loved how he tried to make my ending happen with the democracy plan, and everyone just laughed him off! at least he was able to win them over to a Council of Lords and Ladies, which is pretty much the representative system I wanted for them. finishing things as Grand Maester with a seat on the Small Council, and being the one to write the history of the Song of Ice and Fire is perfect for him

Brienne - becoming the new Lord Commander of the Kingsguard is just what I'd have wanted for her. whitewashing Jaime's career in the official history book was a bit much though ("Died defending his Queen?" more like "Should have died at Winterfell")

Dany - first of all, DID she actually "turn"? when people disobeyed her previously, she had them crucified. every time she faced adversity in the past, her answer was to burn everything. basically, I'm not so sure her disregarding The Bells was out of character in the first place... but even if you say it was, let's not forgot that this is a young woman who lost her husband, brother, son, two other children, best friend, closest advisor, and finally her lover. she sacrificed everything yet no one loved her for it. you take all that and add it to her bloodline's reputation for madness, and I have no issues with her choosing fear over love and wanting a worldwide dictatorship. her decisions made sense in light of everything she went through; it's just that everything she went through happened way too fast

Bran - "who has a better story than Bran The Broken?" uhhh, about half the characters who were still alive! (personally I was on Team Sansa.) still, Jon and Tyrion didn't want the job and there's certainly worst choices than having an all-knowing King, so I kind of get where they're coming from. plus if Bran knew this was coming and that's the only reason he traveled South, it raises some interesting questions about what else he had foreseen and allowed to happen. I was glad to see the Three Eyed Raven storyline had a payoff, but maybe a last sacrifice at Winterfell made a little more sense than ruling Westeros

Nazis always suck. What's incredible about BB though is the show repeatedly had episodes that could have been season finales or perhaps even series finales. We see it in this topic right here -- these last three episodes have people saying they would have been fine and satisfied if the show ended with any of them. The show kept upping the stakes, which is great as a general rule, but once you get to Nazis it's usually time to quit before you go deeper into Crazy Town and I'm so glad BB didn't fall for the pressure of adding additional seasons.

That's a good perspective, and one that hadn't been mentioned before. Perhaps the most impressive thing of all is that BB had only JUST gotten super popular as of those last eight episodes, as in conversation at the water cooler at the office kind of popular. They could have easily sustained that level of interest for another few years- it's amazing that they instead decided to go out on top and leave the world wanting more.

(Of course we did end up getting that "more" years later, but that will be a subject for another day!)

I don't buy into this completely. I get where it comes from, but in the end the circumstances were so shitty at that point that "perfect" feels like the wrong word to use. At the end of 5x08 Walt thought he had gotten away with everything and was going to live out his days running the car wash with his family. That would have been undeserved, that would have made him a real karma houdini.

Yes, I guess I should clarify- Felina was practically perfect for Walt, but you're right, things had gotten very grim for him leading up to those final days. Which was very much deserved, and realistic. That's why I'll still rate the ending the full 4 points, because I intended this as a grade for the final 3/4 episodes as a whole rather than JUST that last hour.

malyg posted...

i never liked that a large part of the final season was showing off the chaos Walter created through his previous actions in S4 that he wasn't able to control. until the final episode where he's able to MacGyver it under control.
as others have mentioned, also didn't like how redemptive it felt toward Walt. Walt and Jesse leaving the show on positive notes felt like a cop out to me.

You have me in the first part, but you don't think JESSE deserved to end on a positive note either? The poor guy went through so much, if anyone deserved a silver lining it was him IMO!

Nanis23 posted...

Interesting new series by the way, although I am not sure weekly is the best approach, but whatever

I want us to have enough time for an ongoing discussion, but if the conversation dries up after a few days from time to time I'll launch the next topic earlier.

GenesisSaga posted...

The only reason I could see anyone not at least finding it satisfying is if you thought Walter deserved redemption and could be steered back toward his former life, in which case you're just wrong. After a certain point in the series that bridge got burned and there was never any turning back.

Oh I'm 100% with you there.

ZeroSignal620 posted...

The final eight episodes of the series will forever be my favorite final stretch of any show. As already mentioned, a key highlight is Walt finally admitting his actions were for his own sense of satisfaction.

Think I'd have to agree, for me only the best stretches of The Wire and Game of Thrones got close.

If you've heard people rave about the fun pre and post-show banter we get up to and wondered what that sounds like, this is a pretty good example. Leading into this we were giving our thoughts on the Last of Us 2 leaks and I said I refused to read them because disgruntled leakers always put things in the worst light, plus I WANT a story to contain controversial plot points that get the internet upset!

This lead into a discussion of Star Wars and how yoblazer and TPLink both watched their first American movie at 7 years of age and they were A New Hope and The Phantom Menace, and eventually we end up talking about some of our worst theater-going experiences. I think you'll enjoy the listen!

In other news I've also launched a

Ng's Hot Take
Breaking Bad is the best show I've ever seen... and yet it almost lost me very early on. Walt's former friends at Gray Matter offer to pay for all his cancer treatments and make sure the family is taken care of if he doesn't survive, yet he famously (senselessly?) tells them to bleep themselves. I didn't like his decision at the time, and rationalized it by saying oh well, there would be no show if he'd said yes. That's why I really appreciated how

in the end he was finally, finally honest with himself when he admitted to Skyler that everything he'd done had really been for himself, that being a feared and respected kingpin felt good and there were plenty of times when he could have stepped away, but he just didn't feel like it. Of course we as an audience had already realized this was true long ago, but hearing it from the man himself made for one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. As for the rest of the episode

* I loved the clever use of the laser pointers in getting Gretchen and Elliott to agree to Walt's well-thought-out "make things right" Gray Matter grant plan. and of course it was fun to get to say goodbye to Badger and Skinny Pete!

* it was a perfect ending/just what they deserved for Jesse and the detestable Todd and Lydia, I've got no complaints there

* my only problem is, Walt's ending specifically was a little TOO perfect. he got to go out a hero and a genius and on his own terms, and by the end, did he really deserve that?

Ultimately though I'm so won over by Walt's one moment of honesty from his earlier conversation with Skyler that I'll reward Breaking Bad's ending full marks despite my previous reservation.

FAIR WARNING - I promise there will be zero spoilers in the opening posts of this topic series, however everything after that could be Spoiler City. After all, we're exclusively discussing the final moments of some of the most beloved and long running series in the history of popular media... so proceed with caution!

Welcome to Best Ending Ever, the topic series where Board 8 will decide the best (and worst) endings in the history of film, television, literature, and video games. Each week we'll cover a well-regarded or controversial new entry.

For this opening week we'll be discussing the television series Breaking Bad. Note: please vote based on the final episodes of Season Five (Ozymandias, Granite State, Felina), NOT any events from Better Call Saul or El Camino!

Could someone pm me when Tropical Freeze goes on sale in the Nintendo digital storefront? I also added it to my Amazon wishlist so I can remember, but I'd prefer not to buy it physically (BotW always stays in that slot for me).

ALTERNATIVELY if a Show superfan would prefer to gift yoblazer and I copies, so we'll be able to solve life's greatest mystery once and for all, that would also be fine! My Switch friend code is

SW-4710-3792-8124

In return we would do a dual playthrough topic for your entertainment.

In terms of world news/politics, oh how I long for the simple days of early 2015.

But overall my answer would be 1995. 2000 still feels like 10 years ago.

June vacation - yes
August vacation - maybe

Luckily I got to see the last baseball game in spring training and the last NBA game just before everything got shut down though.
