VIP7Man that was a clusterfucky way to end this solid show. I don't know if this was another case of fandom over-analyzing and setting themselves up for disappointment or if the writers really had no idea how to close storylines. I can understand some open ended setup stuff like Agatha being depowered and White Vision (and even that was pretty rushed) but to get no resolution for almost anything is just lazy. Nothing for Monica, nothing for Faietro, nothing for Darcy or Jimmy hell I cringed hard when Wanda walked past all the people she tortured for weeks and apologized to MONICA. Also, Wanda somehow learned to make runes and reverse uno'd Agatha basically in what was basically a deus ex so unless this is some avatar state shit where old knowledge is manifested without her understanding it that scene makes no sense.
That being said it's still a solid opener to Phase 4 and hopefully the rest of this year's lineup is good as well. Also, I'm 100% on board with the new outfit, Lizzie looks killer.

@whopottervian I would use the word "taught" very loosely in this case.
So season 1 is a fleshed out story and season 2 on the cw is a freak of the week or are we gonna get a decent story?

@cacione I wouldn't hold my breath, just appreciate that we got the good season we did and set your expectations to low for S2.
How can you blame Iris for something she will do in the future which she doesn‘t even know the context neither the reason

@penderfoot You also cannot dismiss Nora's argument just because of how they are right now in the timeline, people change. We already saw what a few years of losing Iris did to Barry back in S3 who knows what Barryless Iris is like. Iris probably did it to prevent her from disappearing like her dad but we don't really know.
I expected to get some questions answered and I got almost none of them answered. To say a few:
-Why did Thomas do what he did and more importantly what did he do? This was not elaborated on at all other than the few vague lines and scenes we got on the 1st movie
-Why/How did Thomas and Theresa end up in the maze?
-Was WCKD good or bad? (Maybe this was let up to the viewer)
-What was the whole point of attacking the city other than cool explosions and action shots? This didn’t seem to be a major plot point especially with Thomas being there, Also, who was Lawrence? and why purpose did he serve other than none?
-How did no one at WCKD know about Thomas’s “special immunity”? You’d think they’d test their employees before hiring them given the circumstances.
-Why did it seem like not everyone was on the same page about the cure? That was the purpose of WCKD right?
-Why did Theresa even “betray” them in the first place? I get she just wanted to find a cure but what?I feel like it had potential but it just devolved into mostly mindless action scenes and facepalm moments ( Like Theresa’s death I mean COME ON ) that just watered down the conclusion of a story that had so much potential and had me so interested in the beginning although I will admit Gally's return did surprise me. Nevertheless we never got the Thomas/Ava moment I was hoping for which, in turn, could have also lead to some of explanations to the above questions. Some of the side characters are just there to tug hearts ( RIP Newt ) or to just be there so you have some known faces to look at. All in all not a terrible conclusion to the saga but also not a great one… Just a cliché fest which comes expected with this sort of source material so no mayor points docked there for my taste. Kudos for the VFX, Some of the score and the Direction.

P.S The bus crane scene has been added to my not-even-a-tiny-bit-belivable scenes list cause I don’t care how much movies play around with stuff like physics but they gotta at least try for me. I’m sorry, all of those kids would have died.

@kizz-n-tell well thank you for the insight good sir/ma'am guess I needed to pay a bit more attention but I still have some gripes with the writing in general. Guess you get what you pay for with these YA movies.
I’m sorry, but at the risk of sounding like a prententious asshole:
If you think this is good, watch more movies.

@isajo oh get over yourself you can be aware something is not that good and still like it. The "I can only like high art" mindset is stupid.
