Converted the note into a review cos it was too fucking long.
Here are a few comments I found under youtube videos for this to maximize the emotional damage.
Both Maine and David were strong enough to fight cyber psychosis and take one last look at the people they loved before their deaths.
ED— Lucy walks the rest of the way home distraught after Falco drops her off, pauses to smoke to try and calm herself, breaks down screaming in the shower/tub, gets out and cries on the windowsill, can’t run away from her pain of loss, then realizes David’s dream for her to go to the moon. This ending has so much more meaning to it after watching the finale.
Night City remembers people for how they died and not what they did before that. It’s safe to say David easily goes down as one of the most legendary cyberpunks in Night City. He battled MilTech, Arasaka, and it took Adam Smasher to finally put him down. The best part? David died human.
I love how they had the intro being David’s absolute blast of a journey through night city with a pretty chaotic song and then the outro slows down with Lucy in the aftermath of everything that happened in the show. Sort of represents the viewer’s upbeat and happy feelings as the show starts to depression as the show ends. Phenomenal show
The more I think about the ending of this show the more depressed I get…I thought this ed was Lucy feeling lost and powerless seeing David slowly killing himself for others, but now I realize that it’s her absolutely depressed after his sacrifice…this show keeps finding ways to hurt me, man…
So true random person on the internet. So true.
