Obviously its mad sad, John B's monolouge and the montage of JJ was goosebumps inducing and so sad but I think it adds stakes and realism given the shit they keep getting into. I admire the ballsiness to do it
@@Chris-g9iwriters said in an interview that it was intended from the beginning because it’s in-character for JJ to die for his friends. Seems like a press release type of response but at least they actually killed him off instead of some contrived BS that just made him leave
Yeah you can tell he’s shocked .. he’s a little older than the rest of them so he’s probably seen JJ since he was kid running around causing trouble and now he’s gone
I perfectly understand and agree with this event. Yea it was sad and I was balling my eyes out but don’t y’all realize that this makes perfect sense? JJ would die for his friends and he did. He is very loyal & selfless. And we all know stories can’t always have happy endings. I’m sure we know one of them was going to die. While it was sad, it is so important to the story itself. It was foreshadowed one of them would die since the first episode. It helps major character growth
I hate how everyone is bashing the writers and the actors. As sad as it is, it makes total sense that JJ was always going to die. He was the one most likely to sacrifice himself for the Pogues and everyone on the island knew JJ would eventually bite the dust. Everyone always wants a happy ending but the sad thing is anyone can die at any time and it’s a hard truth to swallow. It was never about how long we got with the Pogues but the fact that we did actually get that time and appreciate that for what it is. It’s literally how life goes. Now there is a chance he could be revived if they’re able to get the crown and the wish thing does actually work. I for one will definitely watch season 5 so I can see how this great tale ends
It doesn't matter that it makes sense. Doesn't matter if it's sad or true to his character or bitter sweet or any of that shit. His character represented the energy of the show. In a way he represented what the show was about. Do you people not realize how garbage will the next season be without it's de facto core character. Do the writers not realize????? What, it makes sense so let's completely spit on the face of our fans and this character we've worked so hard to develop and let's keep Chleo alive?? If you justify him dying just cause he did risky shit then he should have been killed off 100 times over and not in the gayest way possible. Tell me you don't think that the shows better off being an edgy adult show about revenge rather than what it was with JJ
@@styko2925 he’s not dead because of risky shit. The whole season he was in a spiral and the Pogues kept constantly trying to save him. Everyone said that his time was going to be up eventually, it’s heartbreaking to think his own father did it but that’s literally a possibility in life. I think taking this approach was a ballsy move and it will be the darkest chapter yet for the Pogues because finally shit is actually real. It’s like when Dumbledore died and all of a sudden the school was fucked. This is the end game so big shit has to happen. I love JJ and I hope there’s a way back for him, but if his death to find the crown leads the Pogues to true happiness and success I think our boy would’ve wanted nothing less
@jokeronsteroids953 Yeah, you're right. And i don't know what to think about the idea of them bringing him back with the crown. On the one hand, they keep hinting at the fact that it can grant one wish. On the other hand, this show never does any unrealistic magic shit. Plus, the actors and directors in the recent interviews talk like this is Rudy's last performance as JJ. Maybe they're baiting us with that. Maybe not. Idk I'm just bitter cause in a few years from now. When i look back at this series, all I'll remember is how it killed of its prized character.
Obx has the guts to do what Stranger Things does not. JJ dying is painful but that’s how the stakes get real. I’m definitely in the minority here but I liked this ending.
Season 5 is gonna be super dark. JJ was the heart of the show and was willing to do the crazy and hard things so his friends wouldn’t have to. With him being gone the show can’t be light hearted anymore and seeing how they are already being vengeful for his death, next season is gonna be very very dark. I can’t say that I didn’t see his death coming because through out the show he was ready to sacrifice himself for his friends, I just hate that groff was the cause of his death.
This season was the craziest yet. One of the best pouges ever no doubt. Took care of his family, and stood up for them when no one else did. He was the one who kept the group together, and no matter how many screw ups he did, he always found a way to make up for it. They may have not won this time around, but when Season 5 comes, they will win the war. RIP JJ 2020-2024.
the fact they buried him in Morocco makes me mad. Like ik they were a long ways from home and all, but like it feels disrespectful to him. You could’ve found some place that you can visit him at and that actually had meaning to him. I’m so mad rn, the only reason i’ll probably watch season 5 will be to see Groff die hopefully.
At least bury him somewhere by the sea FFS. Morocco has great surfing spots. Burying a surfer in the desert is the height of disrespect. But yeah, he should have ideally been brought home and buried in OBX.
true but if we're being realistic idk how they would bring back a dead body with them and getting away with it, also I don't know if they would handle travelling with JJ's body the whole way back but that's just my thoughts
Realistically they're in a foreign country with no passports and having a dead body on hand would probably raise more suspicion. While it's sad he couldn't be buried somewhere close they have literally no other options.
JJ was the Heart of this show. I respect their decision to kill off a main member but I think they chose the wrong one. There will be a massive hole in the final season
It had to be one of the core 4. They definitely wouldn't do John B as he's the main main character who's narrating. That leaves Pope, Kie and JJ. I feel like out of the 3, JJ's death would have the biggest impact, including on the Pogues, the fans and the story. From a writing POV, JJ dying was brilliant.
no guys jj will not come back, he says in a interview that it was he's last time in the serie because he is leaving the show, we are just maybe gonna see him in flashbacks but he won't come back. love you jj he was definitly the best character
I get that the actor didn’t want to return for season 5, but killing off the heart and soul of the show is a risky decision that may end up costing them. Even if season 5 will be the last season of the show. JJ was a comfort character for a majority of people who watched the show.
It’s not that he didn’t want to return but that they were planning his death from the very beginning. That’s what I read anyway. And they confirmed season five is the final season.
His one is a story of abuse, in my opinion what they tried to do with his death was to unpack the abusive relationships in the series, while Sarah has the strength to let go of her dad, even while being hurt of him not loving her, and eventually him sacrificing himself for her, provides a rather confusing relationship, JJ’s different. He’s good, a really good guy, softer than he wants to admit, and he’s been abused so many times, but lacks Sarah’s ability to cut off (or try to) his abuser, he still helps his “dad” escape, he still gives the water to his dad, he never cuts them off without providing them with help, because that’s what JJ is. Well. We all know that Ki would have NEVER done that. People that want to be abusers don’t want help, they don’t want love, the don’t want to be kind, they don’t ask for forgiveness and have no real remorse, they choose to keep abusing, they only want time so that they can abuse you once more, and JJ gave him the means to do that.
But what’s so sad is JJ never caught a break in life, yet he said his wish came true. And that’s to be loved. He died knowing he was loved & that was enough for him. Breaks me every time, I’m crying writing this now.
This scene resonated with me because when I was 17 my best friend was stabbed in the heart. Many of our best friends looked over him as he bled out and one of our friends held him and told him until the very end that it would be ok. He was the glue to our friend group. I miss him every day.
personally i think it would have been better if rafe was the one that died. his character development was very nice and all but i think if he sacrificed himself for the Pogues somehow just like his father sacrificed himself for sarah it would have been a better idea. JJ dying makes no sense and it’s just ridiculous! JJ was the whole heart of this show and i don’t know how i feel about watching the next season now when it comes out
I actually think Rafe will survive in the show. I think it would be a little redundant to sacrifice himself for Sarah like Ward did. Maybe if it’s unique enough but I’d want to see Sarah and Rafe be good siblings in their future life
La morte di Rafe non sarebbe mai stata di impatto su tutti i Pogues come lo è stata quella di JJ. Io amo JJ, è il mio personaggio preferito, e lasciando perdere le questioni private che hanno spinto l'attore o la produzione a scegliere questa linea, nell'ottica di dare uno scossone davvero forte per il finale della quinta stagione, mi tocca ammettere che nessun'altra morte avrebbe avuto la stessa potenza. Magari ecco, potevano arrangiarla meglio, ma posso capire.
Honestly exactly because it would make more sense for Rafe to die I'm happy it didn't happen, it would kinda be a repeat of Ward's death but JJ dying is a more creative plot how painful it is, he was my favorite character too
bro ima miss him sm he was my fav i loved this show sm it’s not gonna be the same without him frr im still crying 😭💗p4l rip and the bariel scene made it more sad bro 😭 he didn’t even get to live that long and also we barely got any jiara we literally just got them last season this is so stupid im so sad fr i hope he pulls a ward in season five but that prob won’t happen!
I think he would come back in the last episode or two. It’s a really good cliffhanger to end the season with and I’m actually excited for season 5. I don’t think the Pogues will hold back anymore especially since Pope has killed now
I always knew it was impossible to keep the whole OBX group alive but JJ was the heart of the show. I know it will only be 5 seasons. The only comfort in this I hope is for them to get the crown back and save pouglandia, thats what JJ always wanted.
John b reaction shatters me . The first thing he does is comfort JJ and you can see the tears swelling up in his eyes. But he doesn’t cry because he wants to stay strong for Sarah and the baby
JJ was their go-to friend. For John B, for Pope, and for Kie. He was the friend they always tell their news to first or want to talk to or can depend on for anything. How will their interactions be from now on without him? I wonder if they will blame each other, I wonder if they will cross lines. Now that Rafe is around them I wonder if he will influence them.
The stakes are about to get real for them in S5, and as much as I hated seeing JJ die I’m excited for S5 cause I know all of them are gonna go beast mode and get revenge in JJ’s honor. P4L ✊
Out of every OBX character in every episode of every season JJ was the one that deserved the world. And in a way he got it... even if it was only for a little while.... He was abused, beaten, and mistreated but he still fought. His "father" abused him his whole and then his actual father killed him.... If Groff wasn't a murderer before.... he is now... JJ put his life on the line more than once for his friends... He went through so much in his life but through it all he stood by his friends through thick and thin, the good and the bad, that is the measure of a true friend, a true brother... a true Pogue... Even when things looked hopeless... like there was no way to fix it he still kept going... even when the others felt defeated... he pushed them to keep going... he brought them hope... JJ's life was far from perfect but he still did everything he could for his friends... his true family... He was a selfless friend. A hero. A jokester. Selfless. A fighter. A brother. But above all else... he was a Pogue. In life and death cause Pogues are for life! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 R.I.P JJ!! I am going to watch season 5 if for no other reason than to see JJ Maybank avenged.
Kiara spitting groff gotta go ngl once jj got the crown i knew something bad would happen i wish they could have buried him in pougelandia but thats impossible so yeah man damn jj is really gone after so many near death experiences this is where he finally goes out thats sad man at least he reunited with his moms
@@DRIFTKING175Because a lot of people saw themselves in JJ, and his storyline. We’ve been here since the beginning. JJ was the heart or OBX and it will never be the same again. JJ was suicidal the episode before his death and then he decided he wanted to get his life together after all this was over. Finally get back to normal, for him to have a family, become a godfather, open the business back up but nope. Netflix does what Netflix knows best. They kill off the best character. Frankly the only character people kept watching for. In my personal opinion OBX should’ve ended on S3 when they got the gold and were all happy they’d opened up the business and become successful but they had to drag it out and completely ruin the show. JJ died thinking that everybody back home hated him. That he was a murderer. He was framed for murder that he did not commit. Framed by his own dad. His own killer
@@skyeoleary this is all so true. the writers definitely did JJ dirty with his death. honestly it was just useless and ridiculous! ik that it's nice and all to have serious moments in shows like these but that was not this shows audience! many of the viewers resonated the most with JJ and saw hope and inspiration in him so the writers and netflix killing him off does not appeal at all to the audience. definitely should have never happned
Yeah it’s sad but does anyone else not like JJ 😭? He makes me so mad I mean sure he was good at some points but at most points he was getting on my nerves.
Why didn’t they warn me when I saw this show? A friend told me that I was missing out on the greatest action adventure show on Netflix but they didn’t tell me that I would wanna lose my life over JJ.😢😢😢😢😢😢
I think I’ve lost all hope for this show. I don’t know how I’ll be able to watch the next season(s). It goes without saying that JJ made the show. How could they make such a wonderful character then plan to kill him off since the very beginning. It’s been a great while since I’ve cried that hard. I won’t get over this, I will never ever forgive the writers for that. R.I.P JJ, We love you.
I didn't expect JJ would die especially at the hands of his own father. He was just starting his relationship with Kiara and he was also just named the godfather of John B and Sarah's baby. 😢 His death was so so sad. I cried a lot when Kiara broke down. I lost it even more when I saw John B cry. I thought we would see the Pogues get revenge on Groff before it ended. I need season 5 now.
I've started watching OBX some years ago when I was just 16 and it was a good way to escape reality, basically I kind of grew up with the characters and now I'm almost 20. It was somewhat comforting that they always survived their crazy adventures and would always find a way out, but in real life they'd be long dead probably. And at this stage of my life, entering the real world and basically saying goodbye to my innocent, optimistic view of life, this season finale seems very fitting... In real life often people are cruel, there aren't happy endings and indeed JJ didn't have one. Also maybe I'm totally clueless but seriously I didn't expect it at all, it was devastating and I'm still sad and I wish it didn't happen, but at the same time it also makes sense. With all of that said, part of me still hope that somehow he'll return back... As long as they don't use supernatural stuff I would be very happy to see him again. But they buried him, so I really can't imagine any way he could still be alive... Maybe we'll see some flashback I hope...
Man, since season three I really wanted him and Kiara to get married at the end of series which would be the end of season five. But that ain’t happening….
Nope. Big nope. Yes I know its life, people die. They're getting into a lot of dangerous adventures but imo, the diving scene was pretty much 'un survival' and they did survive for example. They spent the night after nearly drowning at the beach, in the desert, no water whatsoever, they walk to the city for a few miles, Sarah feels sick and the plan is to rob something at the market, they go for APPLES! No water!! Pregnant Sarah and actually all of them would be in need of water first and foremost. This show has nothing of a real life vibe so no, I do not agree with this death but yes, the writers had great courage in killing a major character.
Why did they just let him bleed out he could've survived if they would've just applied pressure!! I'm heartbroken and I will definitely not be watching season 5 fuck this show already!! 💔
Honestly the idea of a pogue dying, maybe even jj makes sense. Considering they all came so far together it would make sense for one of them to make the "ultimate sacrafice." But jjs death was the dumbest death ive seen on netflix. They clearly tried to give him more development, attention, a relationship with kiara, made him the lead. What would be the point of killing him off, he didnt even sacrafice himself he just stood there and so did kiara. Should have done it in season 5 now its going to be empty without him.
I seen it coming the whole second half. The minute he lost his property he went on a spiral and I felt it coming the whole time after that I just didn’t expect it to be this way
@@LiarffxsRudy didnt like the writers and he they didnt get along. If anything they should have ended it with something else not his death or ended the show on season 4.
I think we will see a clip during season 5 that they didn’t show in season 4 of him putting the crown on in the sand storm before getting off which makes him the wearer and having the abilities it comes with
I think their baby is going to be called jj and everything thats been narrarated throughout the show is all a story about the great adventure of the person they was names after. I think if jj were to appear in s5 he would only show up as a memory
I find it VERY interesting that Rafe would be the one here digging the hole for JJ. I dont think that is by accident, which leads me to think we might be being guided by the show to feel a certain way to take us away from their true plans. And yes you can say that Rafe was the least emotionally invested making it easier for him to carry it out, BUT it is HARD for me to believe that JOHN B RUTLEDGE would not be involved with putting his brother to rest. There is on way. Im not saying that JJ is still alive but I fell the same way i felt when Jon Snow died. I dint think this is the end. They teased supernatural elements in season 3 with the cloth inside the cross. Maybe our P4L family is going after that wish. Or rather to see if it really works
This is so sad it’s not gonna be the same in season 5 if he does end up ever coming back like big John in season 2 I’ll be so happy but for now I’m in tears❤😭
I wish I've never seen this season. I mean season 3 had a pretty good ending. This show is over for me and I know im not the only one. The dumbest decision ever...
losing the best charechter of a show litrely gives me no hope, its like theres nothing to root for . why would i want to watch a show that has got no jj to root for.
The only way they can save this bad writing they did to kill him off is to resurrect him with the crown in season 5. Even if they do it in the finale episode or close to the end, that would definitely make sense seeing as it grants 1 wish. I know this isn’t a show that does this kind of thing, but we can only hope right? The writing was definitely not the best for his character because why make him so important just to kill off? It basically disregards his whole storyline this season and gives it little meaning. I’m curious how they’ll do season 5 honestly.
Although JJ's death feels sudden, it could be a way to raise the stakes in the story and show how much he means to the group. His relationships and growth over the season still have value, even with this ending. Season 5 might focus on how his friends handle the loss, honoring his impact and keeping his character meaningful.
Do you guys think JJ will make a return from the grave in season 5?
(I don't think so)
No I don’t look season 5 without him
You don't think Kiara will use the blue crown to bring him back....

Probably remember that at the country club when he got caught sneaking in and Rafe almost hit him with a golf club.

People that want to be abusers don’t want help, they don’t want love, the don’t want to be kind, they don’t ask for forgiveness and have no real remorse, they choose to keep abusing, they only want time so that they can abuse you once more, and JJ gave him the means to do that.
Perfectly said
It’s sad he never got a real happy ending I mean they wouldn’t even let him put on the crown bsfr 🤬😭
Favorite show now on the bottom of the list
For real I would have rather ANYONE else die I wish kei did something nice for once and stepped in front of the knife I hat this show now
Literally
john b’s monologues always are amazing but god this one takes the cake, man jj can’t believe this is how it ends.
But what’s so sad is JJ never caught a break in life, yet he said his wish came true. And that’s to be loved. He died knowing he was loved & that was enough for him. Breaks me every time, I’m crying writing this now.
This scene resonated with me because when I was 17 my best friend was stabbed in the heart. Many of our best friends looked over him as he bled out and one of our friends held him and told him until the very end that it would be ok. He was the glue to our friend group. I miss him every day.
personally i think it would have been better if rafe was the one that died. his character development was very nice and all but i think if he sacrificed himself for the Pogues somehow just like his father sacrificed himself for sarah it would have been a better idea. JJ dying makes no sense and it’s just ridiculous! JJ was the whole heart of this show and i don’t know how i feel about watching the next season now when it comes out
I actually think Rafe will survive in the show. I think it would be a little redundant to sacrifice himself for Sarah like Ward did. Maybe if it’s unique enough but I’d want to see Sarah and Rafe be good siblings in their future life
Rafe was JJ replacement all along
La morte di Rafe non sarebbe mai stata di impatto su tutti i Pogues come lo è stata quella di JJ. Io amo JJ, è il mio personaggio preferito, e lasciando perdere le questioni private che hanno spinto l'attore o la produzione a scegliere questa linea, nell'ottica di dare uno scossone davvero forte per il finale della quinta stagione, mi tocca ammettere che nessun'altra morte avrebbe avuto la stessa potenza. Magari ecco, potevano arrangiarla meglio, ma posso capire.
Honestly exactly because it would make more sense for Rafe to die I'm happy it didn't happen, it would kinda be a repeat of Ward's death but JJ dying is a more creative plot how painful it is, he was my favorite character too
No, JJ's death makes the most sense. From a writing POV, it had to be him.
“You know the worst part? I knew this was gonna happen…
And I let myself get excited anyways”
John B has lost more so many people that were so close to him especially JJ
when they played the flashbacks of JJ, i lost it and started bawling 😭😭
bro ima miss him sm he was my fav i loved this show sm it’s not gonna be the same without him frr im still crying 😭💗p4l rip and the bariel scene made it more sad bro 😭 he didn’t even get to live that long and also we barely got any jiara we literally just got them last season this is so stupid im so sad fr i hope he pulls a ward in season five but that prob won’t happen!
they buried him so he’s def gone💔💔
Even Rafe was feeling sad in this scene! It showed how much everyone cared about Jayj❤
“If more people valued home above gold this world… would be a merrier place”
This is very accurate to many deaths in media or even in real life. Thorin was right and still had a friend beside him in the end
Love would make the world a better place, but power creates death.

I know this is a long shot, but is it possible they could bring JJ back with the crown? If it really offers one wish, maybe Kie can wish for JJ back?
I'm really hoping they will but in this scene they did a whole montage of jj from season 1-3, and usually that means a farewell to a character. 😭
I think he would come back in the last episode or two. It’s a really good cliffhanger to end the season with and I’m actually excited for season 5. I don’t think the Pogues will hold back anymore especially since Pope has killed now
Part of me thinks Sara is up next and the crown might be for her
@@Parzival0117 if so what would she wish for? I’m not sure myself
I always knew it was impossible to keep the whole OBX group alive but JJ was the heart of the show. I know it will only be 5 seasons. The only comfort in this I hope is for them to get the crown back and save pouglandia, thats what JJ always wanted.
John b reaction shatters me . The first thing he does is comfort JJ and you can see the tears swelling up in his eyes. But he doesn’t cry because he wants to stay strong for Sarah and the baby
They just ruined the show😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Fr 😢
Made it better actually
It was already dying after the huge flop of season 3 no wonder they are canceling it after season 5
@@Parzival0117no
@@jeffstrosmchats7259 to me the show ended with season three
Off topic but Madisons acting was incredible in this scene, when she screamed pope I felt that
JJ was their go-to friend. For John B, for Pope, and for Kie. He was the friend they always tell their news to first or want to talk to or can depend on for anything. How will their interactions be from now on without him? I wonder if they will blame each other, I wonder if they will cross lines. Now that Rafe is around them I wonder if he will influence them.
I still can't believe that he's gone. Emotions hit me like a damn freight train
I literally didn't expect JJ to die I am literally crying and they are realising season 5 like life without JJ
They should have just kept the normal boat, teen summer vibe show cuz wtf is going on
Yup, the second they went away from that is when everyone else stopped fw it
I agree that’s why I love season 1 the most
@@joetucker3539if that was the case then there wouldn’t be 5 seasons of the show 😂. Clearly a lot of people still watch and love OBX.
They killed the best character on the show
I cry every time. Just reminds you to love any time u have with your close people
JJ 😭
The stakes are about to get real for them in S5, and as much as I hated seeing JJ die I’m excited for S5 cause I know all of them are gonna go beast mode and get revenge in JJ’s honor.
P4L ✊
This was probably the worst thing they could’ve ever done for the series. I will say tho, I like how Rafe was the one digging the grave
Out of every OBX character in every episode of every season JJ was the one that deserved the world. And in a way he got it... even if it was only for a little while.... He was abused, beaten, and mistreated but he still fought. His "father" abused him his whole and then his actual father killed him.... If Groff wasn't a murderer before.... he is now... JJ put his life on the line more than once for his friends... He went through so much in his life but through it all he stood by his friends through thick and thin, the good and the bad, that is the measure of a true friend, a true brother... a true Pogue... Even when things looked hopeless... like there was no way to fix it he still kept going... even when the others felt defeated... he pushed them to keep going... he brought them hope... JJ's life was far from perfect but he still did everything he could for his friends... his true family... He was a selfless friend. A hero. A jokester. Selfless. A fighter. A brother. But above all else... he was a Pogue. In life and death cause Pogues are for life! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
R.I.P JJ!!
I am going to watch season 5 if for no other reason than to see JJ Maybank avenged.
I’m legitimately crying so hard right now, I can’t feel my face
Kiara spitting groff gotta go ngl once jj got the crown i knew something bad would happen i wish they could have buried him in pougelandia but thats impossible so yeah man damn jj is really gone after so many near death experiences this is where he finally goes out thats sad man at least he reunited with his moms
The ending really make me upset why killed the heart of progue family it hurt so much I can’t explained 😢.
It's just a movie why is everyone so upset
@@DRIFTKING175Because a lot of people saw themselves in JJ, and his storyline. We’ve been here since the beginning. JJ was the heart or OBX and it will never be the same again.
JJ was suicidal the episode before his death and then he decided he wanted to get his life together after all this was over. Finally get back to normal, for him to have a family, become a godfather, open the business back up but nope.
Netflix does what Netflix knows best.
They kill off the best character. Frankly the only character people kept watching for.
In my personal opinion OBX should’ve ended on S3 when they got the gold and were all happy they’d opened up the business and become successful but they had to drag it out and completely ruin the show.
JJ died thinking that everybody back home hated him. That he was a murderer. He was framed for murder that he did not commit. Framed by his own dad. His own killer
@@skyeoleary this is all so true. the writers definitely did JJ dirty with his death. honestly it was just useless and ridiculous! ik that it's nice and all to have serious moments in shows like these but that was not this shows audience! many of the viewers resonated the most with JJ and saw hope and inspiration in him so the writers and netflix killing him off does not appeal at all to the audience. definitely should have never happned
Fly high JJ ❤😢🕊
Yeah it’s sad but does anyone else not like JJ 😭? He makes me so mad I mean sure he was good at some points but at most points he was getting on my nerves.
Why didn’t they warn me when I saw this show? A friend told me that I was missing out on the greatest action adventure show on Netflix but they didn’t tell me that I would wanna lose my life over JJ.😢😢😢😢😢😢
Goodbye JJ🕊️
You are forever in our hearts and affected us forever. P4L
*(Feel free to leave ur goodbyes in replies)*
I am literally crying right now and just think you will never see a jjiara scene again
I cried so hard during this scene the first time I saw it bro😭 I’m lowkey worried for the future of outerbanks without him.
I think I’ve lost all hope
for this show. I don’t know how I’ll be able to watch the next season(s). It goes without saying that JJ made the show. How could they make such a wonderful character then plan to kill him off since the very beginning. It’s been a great while since I’ve cried that hard. I won’t get over this, I will never ever forgive the writers for that. R.I.P JJ, We love you.
I felt so bad for JJ and then cried when they killed him
I didn't expect JJ would die especially at the hands of his own father. He was just starting his relationship with Kiara and he was also just named the godfather of John B and Sarah's baby. 😢 His death was so so sad. I cried a lot when Kiara broke down. I lost it even more when I saw John B cry. I thought we would see the Pogues get revenge on Groff before it ended. I need season 5 now.
@@nikkiej.5875 hey can you tell me the timestamp for the scene where it's revealed that Sarah is pregnant? I haven't watched part 2 yet.
@kanann05 I'm not sure. I think Sarah finds out in episode 6 or 7. JJ finds out about Sarah's pregnancy in episode 8.
Rest in peace, JJ rest in peace🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏽
I've started watching OBX some years ago when I was just 16 and it was a good way to escape reality, basically I kind of grew up with the characters and now I'm almost 20. It was somewhat comforting that they always survived their crazy adventures and would always find a way out, but in real life they'd be long dead probably. And at this stage of my life, entering the real world and basically saying goodbye to my innocent, optimistic view of life, this season finale seems very fitting... In real life often people are cruel, there aren't happy endings and indeed JJ didn't have one.
Also maybe I'm totally clueless but seriously I didn't expect it at all, it was devastating and I'm still sad and I wish it didn't happen, but at the same time it also makes sense.
With all of that said, part of me still hope that somehow he'll return back... As long as they don't use supernatural stuff I would be very happy to see him again. But they buried him, so I really can't imagine any way he could still be alive... Maybe we'll see some flashback I hope...
Man, since season three I really wanted him and Kiara to get married at the end of series which would be the end of season five. But that ain’t happening….
They can’t make season five without him😭😭
i'm very doubtful if this show is gonna be as good without jj
listen "freaking out the neighborhood" to 0:33 to 1:26 is the best mood for this scene
R.I.P JJ!!! but its sad because he's my sister's favorite character!
I'm not watching season 5 without JJ :(
Nope. Big nope. Yes I know its life, people die. They're getting into a lot of dangerous adventures but imo, the diving scene was pretty much 'un survival' and they did survive for example.
They spent the night after nearly drowning at the beach, in the desert, no water whatsoever, they walk to the city for a few miles, Sarah feels sick and the plan is to rob something at the market, they go for APPLES!
No water!!
Pregnant Sarah and actually all of them would be in need of water first and foremost.
This show has nothing of a real life vibe so no, I do not agree with this death but yes, the writers had great courage in killing a major character.
The show was amazing, till now😢
Just keep season 5 in the drafts bro
dude even rafe cameron was upset
Why did they just let him bleed out he could've survived if they would've just applied pressure!! I'm heartbroken and I will definitely not be watching season 5 fuck this show already!! 💔
Awww it was like John B didn’t believe he was gone! He was trying to wake him up!
Honestly the idea of a pogue dying, maybe even jj makes sense. Considering they all came so far together it would make sense for one of them to make the "ultimate sacrafice." But jjs death was the dumbest death ive seen on netflix. They clearly tried to give him more development, attention, a relationship with kiara, made him the lead. What would be the point of killing him off, he didnt even sacrafice himself he just stood there and so did kiara. Should have done it in season 5 now its going to be empty without him.
If they bring JJ back, it would be the most twisted this ever
They could
The Pogues gone tell Luke. Watch. Luke gone take care of Groff for them
I seen it coming the whole second half. The minute he lost his property he went on a spiral and I felt it coming the whole time after that I just didn’t expect it to be this way
Same, when he told John B to name JJ his baby for me It was a sign
I’m gonna cry while watching season 5
Wanna know what hurts? Knowing JJ would probably never get to be the godfather to Sarah and John B's kid 😭
I actually was holding back tears 😢
I think in season five, they are going to get the crown back and wish for jj to comment back, I hope this happens 😭😭
Now I’m bawling like a baby. This stings.
Ooh the director getting fired fr
it was Rudys choice
@@LiarffxsRudy didnt like the writers and he they didnt get along. If anything they should have ended it with something else not his death or ended the show on season 4.
@@Liarffxs i knowwwwwwwwww but they could've scripted it so much better. i just feel like they're gonna lose viewers for szn 5
@ the show didn’t end on season 4 we’re getting the last season
@@Liarffxs Im aware. its renewed.
I think we will see a clip during season 5 that they didn’t show in season 4 of him putting the crown on in the sand storm before getting off which makes him the wearer and having the abilities it comes with
I think their baby is going to be called jj and everything thats been narrarated throughout the show is all a story about the great adventure of the person they was names after. I think if jj were to appear in s5 he would only show up as a memory
I find it VERY interesting that Rafe would be the one here digging the hole for JJ. I dont think that is by accident, which leads me to think we might be being guided by the show to feel a certain way to take us away from their true plans. And yes you can say that Rafe was the least emotionally invested making it easier for him to carry it out, BUT it is HARD for me to believe that JOHN B RUTLEDGE would not be involved with putting his brother to rest. There is on way. Im not saying that JJ is still alive but I fell the same way i felt when Jon Snow died. I dint think this is the end. They teased supernatural elements in season 3 with the cloth inside the cross. Maybe our P4L family is going after that wish. Or rather to see if it really works
This is so sad it’s not gonna be the same in season 5 if he does end up ever coming back like big John in season 2 I’ll be so happy but for now I’m in tears❤😭
JJ didn't deserve this ending, especially by the hand of his own dad! Like helloo who wrote this??
I wish I've never seen this season. I mean season 3 had a pretty good ending. This show is over for me and I know im not the only one. The dumbest decision ever...
I hate this show now how on earth could they do that. This literally ruins the show
Makes it better. Started getting to campy if everyone lived
losing the best charechter of a show litrely gives me no hope, its like theres nothing to root for . why would i want to watch a show that has got no jj to root for.
JJ’s father is a monster
Can’t blame the writers it was his gf that didn’t want him on the show anymore his real life gf
I watched this and my heart broke 😢😢😢 RIP jj 😢😢😢
The only way they can save this bad writing they did to kill him off is to resurrect him with the crown in season 5. Even if they do it in the finale episode or close to the end, that would definitely make sense seeing as it grants 1 wish. I know this isn’t a show that does this kind of thing, but we can only hope right? The writing was definitely not the best for his character because why make him so important just to kill off? It basically disregards his whole storyline this season and gives it little meaning. I’m curious how they’ll do season 5 honestly.
Although JJ's death feels sudden, it could be a way to raise the stakes in the story and show how much he means to the group. His relationships and growth over the season still have value, even with this ending. Season 5 might focus on how his friends handle the loss, honoring his impact and keeping his character meaningful.
