Finally finished Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts!
It was a fun show, always has been, and it had a nice ending. Though there is one thing that bothered me…
Why were there so many deaths that were shoehorned in? Like who’s bloodlust was not satiated by the mob frog’s and other Dave’s deaths?
Cause first if all why were all the de-muts not re-mutated? What happened to Song making a vaccine? There’s no mention of it after they get supplies for it and then after the time skip there’s still normal animals! Like what???
And then Hugo died. Somehow? I genuinely don’t understand how he was hurt enough to die. Like he was throwing humans around left right and center at the coronation! He survived getting buried in rumble as a teen! How did getting flicked by a mega mut end him? He even had his flamingo car to take the hit/fall!
Like I do actually kinda like that they didn’t just kill off Dr. Emilia. But also it would have been way better to just kill her instead.
Her death has way more potential for making sense. She could have had severe side effects from the shot she gave herself on account of wanting to still look as human as possible as a mut. A building could have comedically fallen on her after her attempt to stab Kipo.
Not to mention there’s no way she’s still alive when the time skip happens. There were bones in the old science burrow. And it’s unlikely Fun Gus would understand the concept of giving his ‘buddy’ and break or feeding her.
So there was no point in not killing her off if the show needed a death that bad!
But yeah it feels like someone decided the series ended too happily and they needed more perma deaths. So they swept the vaccine under the rug and decided redemption equals death.
