This will be a retrospect and a review of this episode in particular. No spoilers, I promise.
Few years ago I decided to watch all shows that relate to MCU, though curretly they are again non canon. Anyway one of the shows were Runaways and I loved everything in it. Especially intro and Julian McMahon as a villain.
Second seson changed a lot of things, it did not feel the same, but still was very good.
Third seson seesms very different. We finish the plotline from seson 2 simultaneously developing new nemesis. Actress is hot and as an evildoer she seems good, still felt like a character from 90/2000s . The penultimate episode was not that exiting. Yeah, a battle, but did not have the weight it should. The consequence did apply that weight I looked for. But then comes this episode that wants to solve everything and make it dandy. Does not work for me. Yes, they come from future and this trope is cool in itself, And they did not create paradoxes though they hint at some, but do not develop. Anyway, I overlook it. Each detail separatly is fine , nostalgic but not sutisfying.
It should be a grand finale of not only the season, but the show itself and it does not deliver. I am not so exited as I have been during the finales of other shows.
Did authors want to make an open ending? Why though? They knew that there will not be a sequel.
At this point an 8 feels like a great gift from me. I cannot say I did not like it, I just wished for more.
P.S. Maybe if Cloack and Dagger appered in the dinal battle I would be as exited as they actually appered during the season. It would be a final battle for each group and a culmination to both shows to end them in high point.
But that is my subjective view
