 Hey guys thought I would do a little bit of a follow-up video to my review for the outsider. I said in my review I did enjoy it, I enjoyed the character development, I enjoyed the writing, I enjoyed the idea of a by the book step by step police investigation of a supernatural entity, but I did say that the ending was very soft and it took far too long to get there but I didn't really go into depth as to why I thought the ending was soft and in this video I'm basically going to explain to you what happened into it and just my thoughts on the whole process. The ninth episode ends on a goddamn fantastic cliffhanger and I'm not just talking about the shot that Jack makes I'm actually talking about it cuts to black and you hear him fire off nine more rounds they all miss somehow as that episode ends I was just holy shit that really makes me excited for the next episode. I did realize something though just before the episode started I was like wait a minute they're in a forest they're gonna have a shootout. Last time I saw an HBO show have a shootout in the forest I was very very disappointed. Ergo talking about the end of True Detective season two and that really really bad gunfight with Colin Farrell. A lot of people at the time thought I was wrong to say that kind of universally known that season two was not well made but anyways back to the finale they have this shootout a bunch of them get killed the lawyer gets killed Holly is in love interest gets killed one of the FBI guys get shot Jack is just so losing it he is so twisted with the manipulation from the creature and the alcohol and the snake and he gets bit by the snake and he comes down he's just kill it and he blows his own brains out now all that's left is Ralph Holly Claude and the FBI guy they keep those two outside while those two go in and it was at this point that we were all a little bit skeptical as to whether they could kill this thing or not Holly does make the comment though as they're going down the stairs that even this thing needs to hold onto the bars it's afraid of falling so perhaps it's not as supernatural as we think it is and that is something that the show really never went into aside from its ability to feed off of pain I had this kind of assumption that while it could shift and change it also had the ability to mentally destroy people and we saw that with its manipulation of Jack as well as the destruction of the families that are victims to its crimes and then the few parts that we got to see of the Claude version of it eating things it had a horrifying sound it didn't even show it like they kept it in shadow they built this thing up so well and what happens when they find it it's just Claude at one point he even kind of quick flashes in front of Holly but he is far more interested in how she could accept him that he would exist as well as being able to convince other people that he existed and that refers to what she says at the end of the episode where an outsider can understand and know an outsider the only defense that the creature has is that if they shoot a gun supposedly the cave will fall in and kill them all but then what happens Claude comes in and he blasts it with a shotgun they all don't die but the creature gets a spike through its chest and they think it's dead but before he's shot we never really know much about the creature other than what we've already established he doesn't even say whether he knows if there's others like him he says that he thinks he sensed other people like him but he's not entirely sure not explaining things as a king trope he likes to leave things unanswered which admittedly sometimes that is a better narrative strategy but there's a difference between not explaining it at all and just a little bit of seasoning there's more explanation about what the clown creature is in it than there is in this about the outsider but after they shoot it and the rock falls on it they think it's dead and they start to leave but then Ralph sees the ghost so he goes back for him that it's not dead and he realizes that you know what there's no point in trying to prove anything no one's going to believe us and those who will will just take you and they're going to do experiments on you and they're going to use you as a military lab rat so just smash your face in before he does that obviously the creature changes its face and we see all these different entities that it's been in the past and then it smashes its face and that was about halfway through the episode and my dad and I were both going that's it what happens afterwards is them getting their stories straight about what they now have to say is the truth to exonerate Jason Bateman as well as put this to rest but then in the very end of the episode after you see the credits which I didn't even know that HBO was notorious for doing this they did it like three times in Westworld season two ending Holly is in the bathroom and she sees Jack as like kind of a PTSD sort of flash at least that's what I thought it was but then she's sitting on the bed and she starts to twirl her hair and stomping ground starts to play this is the song that Ralph was talking about in the previous episode having heard for the first time in 15 years to which she kind of just added it up to coincidence we're hearing the song again but I didn't notice this the first time but she actually has a scratch on her arm and not only that but the footage is going in reverse with her twirling her hair I don't know what they're trying to do with this ending think story has a pretty cool idea saying that this is the show really kind of pushing you the viewer to accept that sometimes things logically can't be explained that sometimes things have to be accepted whether they seem real or not that's been sort of the kind of the basis of the entire show but it just feels like this build up to the confrontation there was so much build up to his relationship with Jack there was so much build up to the creature itself and then it just kind of it just falls over I don't feel like it executed its ending well considering how long it took for us to get there one person had a comment saying that this was essentially a high budget really really long ex files episode and I don't disagree with him I'd like the idea of it just the execution just didn't feel right with me it didn't feel fully encompassing in its topic and its narrative material that we were given for so long I kind of feel this ending is a little bit of a cop out obviously that's the whole point is that we were accepting things that sometimes don't follow the means of logic the way that it's executed in this ending is just bizarre it's not that it doesn't make sense just doesn't fit right with what we've been shown at least in my opinion anyways those are my thoughts about the ending of the outsider what did you guys think what do you guys think of this entire ending the conclusion with the creature and as well as the story with Holly and Ralph and all that I think Ralph's story was well done I think his ending was good Holly's was a little bit odd anyways guys that's all for me if you
