Is it just me or is everyone upset at the fact that Adam didnāt face literally any consequences?
Besides losing the beefā and barely, at thatā not a single thing happened to him. He found out that there was no Eve but now itās implied he doesnāt need one. After years of abuse to Tadashi, whatever criminal activities he and his business are involved in and definite attempted murder against Cherry, Reki, Langa and whatever other skaters in the past, he basically just got to go āI guess skating is funā and then resume his criminal activities in the business world.
On top of that, he apparently gets to keep abusing Tadashi who is just? Okay with that? Because Adam remembers them skating as kids fondly and implied some weird, creepy ownership of Tadashi that is apparently okay with Tadashi?
The plot line with the detective was totally wasted. There was no need for her character at any point now because she didnāt serve to actually do anything. All we get is Adam selling someone out at the end to get her off his tail but like, we all knew Adam already sucked so itās not like we needed that scene.
And maybe thatās what bothers me so much. It doesnāt appear that Adam has changed at all. And donāt get me wrong, I was rooting for jail and for him to never touch a skateboard again in his life. But if thatās not gonna happen and heās gonna learn a lesson, he should at least change. And he didnāt, he really didnāt. Nothing it shows after the beef indicates that he has changed at all. He shows up uninvited at that bbq with flowers for Langa, so heās still a creepy stalker with no boundaries. He tells Tadashi that heāll be a dog for the entirety of their lives, so heās still an abusive and manipulative boss (lover? Thereās still so much to unpack here). And he sells out that other guy so heās still a shady businessman engrossed in illegal activities.
Besides deciding that skating is fun and is better with other people, Adam doesnāt change at all.
Iām glad that he tried to fight Langa on that, though. I will say that gave a more believable and realistic take to it than just Langa being like āskating is fun and meant to be shared!ā And Adam immediately going āyouāre right!ā. At least he tried to say no, to push the idea away. Thatās fitting of Adamās character and I think that part was done well.
But I guess Iām just let down that Adam had been shown time and time again to be basically irredeemable and to do all these things that are not okay and now he just gets to? Keep doing them? He gets to keep coming to S? He gets to skate with the crew? He gets to keep his business, keep his employee? He spent 12 episodes getting progressively worse and then they were just like āokay but he remembers skating is fun!ā Okay? Heās still a horrible human who has the karma bus coming for him with a list of reasons three miles long?
I just think Adam deserves any kind of consequence and he got none. And then he didnāt even change into a better person and thatās the only thing about the finale that bothers me.
