    I really hope that whatever they said they planned on doing in the future isn’t just glitch inn stuff or slice of life shorts or whatever, because there’s so many things they could’ve shown if they didn’t rush it.
    First off what happened to J after she just…fell to who knows where?? She was obviously not dead, and why was she repairing a ship in the credits?
    It would’ve also been better if they showed how J reacted to finding out who she was really working with, since she said she was tricked too, and Tessa was like the only person she really cared about….
    Also, Khan and uzi really should’ve had some sort of interaction towards the end, considering uzi wasn’t there to see how he went from her useless dad to fighting the apocalypse….after all, she did mention in the pilot that she did want to save the world and gain the respect of her dad, which she did do, but they kinda just brushed this off. Plus they never explicitly revealed who “killed” nori, and it would’ve been very interesting to see what it would’ve done to n and uzi’s dynamic.
    Not to mention how both of uzi’s parents were clearly opposed to her being ‘friends’ with n, but then they’re seen together in the credits playing cards like nothing happened.
    AND LASTLY DOLL. IM STILL SO MAD THEY DID HER DIRTY LIKE THAT. I’m not saying I’m opposed to killing someone off but they could’ve done so much more with her, like shown what her life was like when the solver first awakened in her, or even give her some sort of redemption in the end, like having her sacrifice herself for the others in a fight against cyn, or having her interact more with the others, since all anyone else knew her for was being a red eyed freak. I could list more but I’m sure a lot of other people are thinking the same thing.
    Not to mention that at the end of episode 7, n literally lost everyone (or at least thought he did) he cared about, but at the start of the finale he’s all happy go lucky again and the sacrifice is brushed off really quickly. It just seems like all of the build up in ep 7 went nowhere in the finale which probably would’ve gone better if they took more time and spread it out over 3 episodes so it could be 10 in total, but oh well
    Thanks for listening to my rant :3 (not saying I didn’t like the finale though, and I do get that each episode takes a crazy amount of work, time, and money. )

    "Beautifully Tragic" are very good words to use to describe Episode 8. Not only because of the fact that it's the final episode, but also because of just the fact that with a few tweaks and rewrites, this episode would've EASILY been elevated to a level never seen before. J is gonna get her Justice one day, if we're lucky...

    A lot of things are unresolved, like how did V fight off the sentinels? We have seen that they are capable of ripping a disassembly drone apart with ease. What happened to the other solver infected planets? What happened to Yeva(if Nori could survive, so could Yeva)? Are the humans truly dead(in the star map Tessa uses to show the infection of the AS, there are 2 colonies whose paths aren’t red, and since red indicates it’s an infected planet, that would mean there are 2 human holdouts out there, granted it could be an animation error.) Also, Cyn being defeated with such ease kinda breaks the show, like if she was this easy to defeat, Humanity would have wiped it out with ease.
    It’s not a bad episode, but it’s not good for the SERIES FINALE.

    I feel that ep. 8 encapsulates the fundamental problem of the entire series. How it fits the story into 8 episodes. If some episodes were longer, or there were one or two more, to give everything weight, I feel we'd be golden. This isn't just a fan whining that Murder Drones ended, in fact especially nowadays, now that things can't seem to just die, so it's nice to see a definitive end. But I feel is just an issue, as it gives barely any time to revel in the story. It's just too big to fit in the time given. Hopefully if we do get things like shorts or a spinoff, or even just comics, it will dive into these parts, (kinda like MD Intermission did) and make up for the lost potential.

    Episode 7 and 8 *were* meant to be released together before the glitch drama and the subsequent delay. These two episodes when slapped together just feel one big one.
    That being said. I like it. I need to sit on it a bit more but it does feel like more of a 'season' finale rather than a 'series' finale. We got some interesting revelations. Who knows where we’ll go from here.

    I loved the choice of words. As we all know, it's all about balance. Do we want to have action-rich episodes with perfect details? Yes. As long as we also care about a rich script with good stories.
    They were in a hurry, and they bet on simple things, like action and lots of "lights and colors with explosions".
    They could have reduced the graphic quality, we would still be satisfied, and invested more in developing the story's plot.

    Ya know, it was a great episode, but at the end of the day, it created more questions than it *solved*, and made it feel like there was meant to be a season 2, I really think that there needs to be accompanying media like a spinoff in order to tie up all the loose ends, and Ima just say, a "Tales of the Murder Drones" Series would go INSANELY hard as a way to tie those loose ends.

    9:25 V and J’s personality core motivations weren’t a mystery, the show gave us a pretty good sense of J’s character even from episode 1 and 5 (also the merchandise training video) even without J in episode 8, we are already shown a lot of her character, as well as how she contrasts the protagonist and the overarching themes woven into the narrative.
    J is focused on perfectionism and living up to the human’s rigid expectations at JCJenson. Order, integrity, self-control, resistance to change, and dogmatism are all corner stones of her personality and the root of her struggles. We see she grew up idolizing the authority figures in her life from episode 5 and she learned that she needs to follow the rules and adhere to the guidelines of the company.
    Now, episode 8 does give us more insight into how J’s response to higher powers continues to manifest and rear it’s head even with knowing that it is no longer the company in control.

    I definitely would call this episode fanservice heavy and I definitely wish there was more time with just the characters but considering the resources they have I'm quite happy. Perfect? No, but I don't think it's really fair to expect that either. Ultimately I'm very happy that it ended on a happy note as, just personally speaking, I'm about to my wit's end in sadness and depression.
    I do love to imagine what might have been possible if they had all the resources and time they wanted but I'm still very happy even though I had dearly hoped the series wouldn't end so soon.
    Also, if this episode doesn't win an award for the absolutely AMAZING animation I'll be extremely disappointed because they deserve it!

      I would have liked that, to have J rebel for Tessa's sake, but I feel that J made a logical choice. She was sure the solver would win. And if it did win, she could at least leverage with it, saying that they fought on the same team. So she was dealt a bad hand. Plus, V had her admin rights replaced to Uzi, while J's admin is still the solver. J would just have been possesd, or have herself brainwashed. So she couldn't rebel if she wanted to.

    I think everyone living is actually one of the better things needed for the show, I get the whole thing is basically eldritch horrors and death everywhere but I think it’s more fitting for at least the main 3 (Uzi, N, and V) to live happy lives, especially Uzi and N as Uzi’s arc is opening up and finding the people she cares about so if N and V died that would be more depressing of an angle than most people know, it would be out of character for Uzi not to just revert to how she acted in episode 1 but she’s actually broken and traumatized rather than just acting like it, which I just never saw coming from this show.
    Also I think the episode did take so long just because of animation and not writing issues or rushing issues.

    I respect you expressing the negative stuff. I feel this show needs more criticism. Liam can do no wrong, in the eyes of his fans, and he knows that. The whole story has always been kind of poorly written. It has a lot of good things going for it but never really tells it in a sensible way. The story has always been very hard to understand as a result. It jumps over important plot details to make a mad dash to the finale. People are still over positive about the ending, ignoring how close to half ass it was written. I mean no disrespect to Liam or Glitch but they need some criticism to help them learn and do better. Murder Drones is amazing for many reason but it could be so much more if given the time and ambition.

    I’m going to be honest, Murder Drones episode 8 was very much so style AND substance. Hot take, I know. I don’t find the complaints for Episode 8’s writing, at least from a technical standpoint, very compelling. It really just feels like some people just wanted a longer more drawn out episode and are just angry that that wasn’t the case. The passing for Murder drones has always been quick, we’ve always had to piece together what’s actually happening in pretty much every episode of Murder drones, the major of Murder drones fans without a doubt had to rewatch episodes multiple times to understand what’s going on. the series can overdo it on the showing over telling at many points, but overall it’s consistently fast paced and episode 8 is no outlier.
    There wasn’t much of a reason to draw out this episode.
    Another thing I keep seeing is people saying that Cyn was built up to be to strong of an antagonist to take down
    11:34 I would really appreciate if you’d specify who in particular is changing with their motivations and knowledge, as far as I know all of the major characters at least have stayed consistent throughout the series, everything from their personalities, beliefs, core motivations, knowledge, etc.

    Rating
    Action:10/10
    Best action i have probably ever seen in indie animation and shows how far we can go about how a indie company can make the action packed scenes
    also it was also kind of scary i should say.
    characters:7/10
    Not the best way they could've done it but i loved V in this episode N didnt do too much and Uzi was a but cringey but thats how uzi was khan didnt do anything along with nori also Cyn was nerfed HARD
    Story/ending:5/10
    it had some decent points but just in general the ending and bringing back V and stuff wasn't the best they couldve done and also i felt really weird why they made uzi and N sort of overpowered it just felt forced.
    but in general i can only say this is a 7/10 at best 6/10 at worst i am not dissapointed bc i know the circumstances but it was a bit more unexpected then i thought
    just remember that be happy that we could watch this in the first place.
