The Wire and Adventure Time basically end the same way

Submitted by Enginehank t3_zo1ilp in television

Both shows essentially end with a longer version of the opening credits playing over scenes of all the characters we've seen in the show in their current, or in new roles, many of the taking up the mantle of those that came before them.

Probably coincidence, probably just generic also, but I thought it was kind of cool that too my favorite shows end the same way.

Dukie going Bubbles was rough.

Yeah that one hurt. Guessing the show runners did it to really drive home the point of how difficult it was to escape that life / grind of poverty. Dukie seemed like the kid most likely to escape and even he couldn’t make it out.

100% was the point. There were so many various depressing ends of characters/stories in that series. Def one of my fav all-time shows.

I think a lot of shows end like this. Dragon Ball GT and Hunter x Hunter did as well.

Talking about the anime. I know it's still going on I read the manga every week. Chrollos backstory was great.

Yeah for most series we'd be looking back on the Chimera Ant arc as the peak but he's somehow managed to surpass it. Such a godlike series.

A lot of David Simon stuff does that. Generation Kill had a similar scene to end the miniseries. Excellent series, btw. If you liked The Wire, you should check it out.

I agree, with the home video recap at the end. Great series!

But the true ending is the final adventure time special.

Syndor becomes the new McNulty. Michael becomes Omar. Slim becomes the new Prop* Joe. Dukie becomes the new Bibbles. Valchek becomes the new Burrel.

The ending of season 5 is clear. Players change but the game stays the same.
