Can a Strong Ending Vindicate Wizard?

SPLIT LIP · 09-01-2013, 04:34 PM

It sucks, because even if it did have an aweosme finale, it wouldn't undo the bad in Wizard. I've seen utterly awful shows with awesome endings that still go down in history as bad shows.

Does anyone remember what happened with Code Geass? The first season was amazing but R2 really tanked and just wasn't as good... But then we got to the finale. It is my personal philosophy with any work of fiction that a great ending can save any series. Just remember when starting a series that the ending is paramount.

I honestly thought both seasons of Code Geass suffered from the same flaws - utterly amazing openings and endings, but with a quality dip in the middle section. R2 just had it slightly worse.

The ending of Geas was just sad x . x Just... just sad.

Am I the only one that sees "The Goseiger of Kamen Rider" as a complement toward Wizard? The preceding sentence is still an insult, for sure.

I would say no, because it seems the majority of the fandom made up their mind on Wizard very early on. Even when Haruto comes out of his shell, has an episode focused on him or just in general when the show does everything the haters claim it doesn't, they'll still find a way to call the episode wrong somehow, they want to hate it and refuse to have their minds changed. And it frustrates me to no end, but I realised ignorance and stubbornness are not a force you want to argue with.

Also, at least in my opinion, I really haven't been that impressed with Wizard's wrapping up so far, quite the opposite. A large reason I think I enjoyed this show so much, is I watched about thirty episodes of it over a week or two playing catchup, and this feels like a series made for that. A show which balances almost every great arc, with a terrible one, and the peaks and troughs are a lot harder to convey when watching only an episode a week.

I'm going to say no. Unless they pull off something REALLY big, there's always going to be all those episodes where the series was boring as hell. Almost no ending could make that time spent worthwhile to me.

Well you're certainly not helping your side with THAT drivel.

"You just WANT to hate it, and if you don't like it you're IGNORANT AND STUBBORN."

Riiiiiight.
