>!SPOILERS!< for people who didn’t watch the series.

So, I watched the show last week, remember not wanting to watch it when it came out cause i thought it would “ruin the original” and stuff like that.

But i LOVED it, i felt it really continued the story, not making it better or anything , or “adding” to the original comic, but it really felt like events happening after the comic book and it was nice to revisit the known characters and universe.

It was good, loved old characters how they grown and matured , and absolutely loved looking Glass character.

Finally what made me say “ok that’s canon in my head for now on” was the alien episode (and wonderful looking Glass origin story, making it not just a retelling of events , but also adding a reason , and making a new character feel “one of the old gang”). That’s the part i was missing too much from the Snyder movie, which I really like too. I had to always imagine “ok here add the alien squid event” in my mind , so i could enjoy the movie.

Also loved what they did with Jon , the whole new plot was amazing , and the beautiful circle-paradox of Jon informing hooded Justice in the past 👌✨✨

BUT ! Please tell me what i cannot understand, tell me your opinions and i hope there is something i miss and didn’t understand.

HOW could Jon let the 7th kavalry shoot him ??

I mean , i try to understand the whole “i don’t see the future, i live it” so he doesn’t change the future , and all that.

And in the comic book (and the Snyder movie) it is explained by the “not being able to see” at Veidt’s Karnak , he was lured at that specific place, that’s why Bubastis’s sacrifice was important.

BUT HERE ! DAMN ! Here he was exploding heads right and left saving Abar, and the machine was on the back of a truck visible ! Pointing at him like a cartoon giant gun . And he KNEW what it was and what was happening.

He could just explode it , reassemble it in a thousand pieces , NO , EVEN teleport it to the @“@&” Mariana Trench !!!

And do so in the same time he was exploding heads.

Why he didn’t ??

Even do the same to lady Trieu’s giant machine, but let’s stay to the moment of exploding heads and being completely motionless when mortals with normal human speed and human conception of time , zapped him !!

Why ?? Why did he let them do that ? what did he lack ? time ? PREP time ? power? a reason to live ? HE LOVED Abar and life itself at that moment !

It’s like looking at a cartoon character walking and seeing a banana skin on the ground and say “oh no , in ten steps i will fall !” And then he falls stepping on the banana skin WHILE watching at it.

Ok that’s all, i think i made my emotions clear 😅

I loved the series , please tell me what i can’t see and understand it to love the great egg finale even more !!

To make sense of his death !
