rpgamer Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Discussion topic: Did Meruem deserve this arc? I hesitate to call it a redemption arc, not really sure anything's been redeemed here. Sympathy arc may be more accurate. Certainly everything in this episode was meant to make the viewer feel sad at his passing. And, personally, I don't think he deserved it. I don't think it's enough to cleanse what has otherwise been a ruthlessly evil personality. He's killed without a second thought, without remorse. If it weren't for the poison, I struggle to believe that he would've stopped in his conquest. If anything, Komugi at least deserved the happy-ish ending. She did ultimately fulfill her life's greatest desire, I suppose, so I can see her getting the "I can die happy" ending. I just don't really feel like Meruem deserved to also die happy. Speaking of the poison, I'm not really satisfied with that direction, either. Incredibly anticlimactic. While I'm sure the writers had their plans, every intention of probably reaching this exact point, it also feels too much like they just made the bad guys too powerful and realized that nothing else they could really come up with would result in a protagonist victory. They had essentially all already been beaten back, nothing left to stop the antagonists (ant-agonists, hah). "Well, shit, how do we resolve this now?" "Uhhhhh, surprise poison?" In summary, while an emotional episode, for as long as this arc has gone on, I feel like this story could've been wrapped up much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head of the hunter association succeeded in killing the ruler of the Ants and most dangerous villain yet in the show. I think that's a satisfying accomplishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpgamer Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 It would've been, if it had ended with the bomb. Bit of a cop out, that after everything, he wasn't actually strong enough to beat him, and had to fall back on the last resort, but still, not a bad twist to have that backup plan. But then having the king survive that kinda felt like it nullified the efforts of everything else. The entire attack on the capitol was basically meaningless, Gon's the only one that really accomplished anything, at his own great cost. Other than that, everyant of importance survived, they had effectively won. Their only downfall was some sort of deus ex poison that wasn't revealed until later that just happened to also be able to spread and kill everyone else in the vicinity. Hooray, the heroes won, but it just sorta felt like none of their efforts actually went towards accomplishing that. Winning by plot device is a bit of a let down after all the badassery they pulled off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
