(Editor’s Note: Included below Spoilers Through the series finale What we do in the shadows“Finale.”))
Endings are generally difficult, with few endings that are difficult to create in a more satisfying way than the conclusions of long-term television shows. For the finale of the series, What we do in the shadows Although the subtext is quite textual, I explored the idea in a way that did not undermine its ultimate goal. It’s about saying goodbye to our beloved Staten Island vampire in a way that felt authentic to our journey on all levels.
The episode starts in the wrong direction as Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Colin (Mark Proche) explain the current dilemma. Cravenworth’s monster (Andy Asaph) now evolves into a point of existence, making “horny”, and a brother for him, to use technical terms. The most likely candidate for a head donation is the guide (Kristen Shahl), but Naja (Nathasia Demetriu) can ask Nandor (Kaivan Novak) how he feels about the idea… The show is over.
Specifically, the vampire is told by the documentary’s crew that six years later, the crew has acquired sufficient footage for the project, and therefore is shutting down production. This news catches everyone with surprise, but most people take it roughly, except for Guillermo (Harvey Guillen) – for no potential reason. Most of it is explored in detail by Najah (now I truly feel myself as an authority on “human psychology.”
As a proxy for the show’s persistent audience, the emotional response to Guillermo’s sudden ending can connect much to us, even while other characters are in stages. (It has been pointed out that Guillermo will become a vampire. What did they learn from that experience, except that they already did that last year? “Don’t turn Guillermo into a fucking vampire.”
What the “finale” really captures is that in many situations there are no audiences in reality when it comes to the finals. want It’s getting too in the way of closure. Instead, what we want is emotional closure, but there is also the feeling that these characters will live on in some way. This is something the episode deals very directly with, and Naja tells the camera about “continue to keep doing what we’re doing – these cameras won’t film it anymore.” As we learn, this is not the first time the Vamp on Staten Island has been followed by a documentary crew. It’s not a big deal for them.
In addition, shadow I’ll try out a few different endings. First, there are several attempts in a big speech that is meant to wrap things up themes (the guide will be the most difficult in her “make America great for vampires again” angle). Nadja then uses some special special hypnosis (strong enough to drop the viewer’s IQ “10-20 points for brain scrambling”) to provide “the most perfect ending you can imagine in your simple human mind.”
This ending turned out to be a detailed, cinematic homage Normal suspect (Why not?), featuring Shaal and Anthony Atamanyk as stand-in for Chaz Palminteri and Dan Hedaya, Colin Robinson tells the story of the series, drawn from the message board details. “The biggest trick the devil has ever pulled was to convince a world that he was too boring to hear,” Colin concludes before entering Laszlo’s Jalopy. that’s right Glorious Nonsense is carried out in a way that constricts the remaining expectations of how things will ultimately close. (I might just say that for brain scrambling.)
After mass hypnosis, Guillermo finds a solution, so he can ultimately come up with an ending for himself on his own terms. His heartfelt farewell on the ffin side to Nandor gives the perfect closure to their relationship, the heart of the show’s undead heart…and it ended well on its own (particularly considering that we’ve already got at least one fake).
Then, when credits are rolled and the production crew starts to break the equipment, Guillermo documentary The end; he is not going to leave Nandor’s side. It leads to a new level of intimacy familiar to the Master. Nandor invites Guillermo to his co. Will Nandor and Guillermo take them on the streets as Phantom threats and child cowboys? Or do they come up with things better, superhero identity? It is a mystery that we can live with our imagination. What you really need is thrill They know their adventures will continue.
As mentioned earlier, some of the meta comments in the finale are less subtle, with the characters pointing out over the years that “nothing changes – no one will grow.” But that’s not so true, at least for Nandor and Guillermo, who have seen us evolve over the years. (Maybe not that much, but when you’ve already lived for centuries, progress is progress.) This wasn’t a show you indulge too often in SAP. But at this moment I felt like I was making money.
At that last moment, What we do in the shadows I wasn’t aiming to feel good, but I landed there anyway. What’s more, the ending, which is not actually an ending, is very similar to living forever, so I did so in a way that suits the character. It’s not a melancholy way that makes the future of television seem like an endless cycle Dexters Returning to life FraserThrows at us a Bon Mott, who will be lifelonger than all of us. Instead, the series finale allows characters to never die and stay in a beautiful, ambiguous dream space where the story feels infinite and perfect…
Although Colin Robinson has some notes.
