If that had come up we’d sure have been having a discussion about that; and I’ve sure as heck seen the same sort of surface level discussions about Zero-One’s ending until right now!

On the other hand, I constantly see discussion elsewhere on how brilliantly Build’s themes were maintained and used, what that series said about the ideals of heroism and the effects of war, etc. For Zero-One I mostly see people being apologetic about the ending and excusing everything because Covid. It depends entirely on where you go and I’ve found myself in positive thematic discussions about all three of these series. Don’t limit your viewpoint based on one discussion between a couple of people on one website.

I do have to concede I'm probably being rather naive here. Blind optimism has kinda always been a thing with me. These are all good points!
