one thing I Like that no one seams to be talking about is how Wolf won her final fight. She beat Greta not with brute force, superior strategy, being a better fighter. She won by befriending Greta, which is such a Kipo move.
It's also harkens back to an old quote from Abraham Lincoln that goes, 'Do I not destroy my enemy when I make him my friend' For a character like Wolf, who jumps to violence and assassination as a first resort, bit shows tremendous character growth
My response is I didn’t even pay attention to that, I was just enjoying the first and only well choreographed, animated, and scored fight scene in the whole show
@Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox this is exactly why Stevan Universe’s ending absolutely blew. You can’t redeem a character in 1 episode. The worst part is the Stevan Universe was incredible right until the finale where the writers got amnesia and forgot how to write.
+Roy MTB - Same! I know some people were upset that those dead (well, mentally dead, they lost their sentience) characters weren't magically brought back. I think if the cure was just undone it'd kind of erase any *consequences* that should've been there. The impact of those deaths would've been totally void had they just reversed it.
If they wanted to show the consequences, don't make a joke of Yumyan's death, and don't say "Oh we can fix them with a vaccine" and never do anything with it
I still have a headcanon that Song figures out the cure for the cure sometime in the future regardless, though I understand whey they left that open ended.
Funniest scene of Season 3: Kipo: “What would scare the humans?” Benson: “Clowns?” Random Mutes: “Other humans! Diversity! Public speaking! Great big cockroach! Their past! A Mega Monkey! (Oh... Never mind)”. I died of laugh because they are true😂😂
The way I interpret Emilia's past is that she had a choice. She and Liam went through a similar upbringing, with their emotionaly abusive father. But Liam gave mutes a chance and ended up changing their minds as well. She could have chosen the same, but instead remained in darkness, which ended up being her downfall.
The last season is kinda bad though? Did you just overlooked the way too convoluded storyline? There was a lot stupid luck and i really mean stupid. People, dont make it out to be more than what it was. It was a good shiw, but it's not some god-given thing.
Honestly the subtext within this show just blows my mind. The more that you dig into it, the more brilliant that it becomes. Never even considered that about her compared to her brother, but of course that was a super necessary writing choice.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 All the World-Building should not go to waste - i think this Franchise should not be done now. And i dont say that from a fan perspective but just judjing the situation and all that. It should not be over, that would be wasted world-building.
It was watching the epilogue when I realized that the entire story took place in just one city. One big city, sure, but one nonetheless. I now wonder how the rest of the world is doing...
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 We should ask Kipo to go and look for them. I wish Hugo was still alive to go and bring friendship in the lands were all the kings he looked up to as king used to live. (actually, his death was the only thing that kind of bummed me. It felt a bit like an easy way out because, while his redemption arc was complete, he still deserved to be locked in a cage for his past actions.)

@@slevinchannel7589 I think it's because the show was cancelled though. Like of course sections were pretty rushed, but at the same time they did the best they could to conclude the story within 10 episodes without it feeling unnatural.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I would 100% watch this show again. It was so good and I got so attached to everyone, Jamack, Benson, Dave, Kipo, Wolf, even Scarlemane. I really hoped for some more future stuff but I am really satisfied with the ending
Certainly. I'm glad they just didn't forget she wasn't a good person even though her personal past or feelings are kind of understandable Unlike a certain other show
I love that the 1st time Scarlemagne tried to apologize it was rejected by the other mutes. While he was sincere and had put in some effort, it seemed like he was still mostly thinking about himself, I don’t feel like he completely understood why he needed to apologize. By the time he apologizes the second time he’s had time to actually get to know and create real bonds with other characters. This time, he was for the most part(not completely) already trusted by the other mutes, and no one was prompting him to apologize. Scarlemagne chose to apologize all on his own, and that fact alone makes it feel more genuine. The second time Scarlemagne apologizes he’s had time to really understand what he did wrong and he’s had the chance to see someone(Emilia) doing something similar to what he did but from the perspective of the people being hurt. I think when Scarlemagne apologizes the second time you can really see that he truly means it, and unlike the first time there was no doubt that he’s changed. Honestly by the time the show finished, Hugo had become one of my favorite characters. Also I love that it was Scarlemagne’s apology the ultimately convinced that guy to admit what he did to the fireworks.
When a read in a wiki article that Dr. Emilia killed her own brother, I just assumed she pushed him off a cliff or something. But then I watched the episode and she shot him at point blank! The show's creators gave us "Sympathy for the Mandrill" to make us feel sorry for Scarlemagne and understand him better, and then gave us that nugget of Emilia's backstory so we would stop feeling sorry for her. This shows us how different these two villains really are. Scarlemagne was angry and vengeful, while Dr. Emilia was heartless and cruel. 😠😒
@@rackardukes3653 Of course not. There was never any good reason to like here. I'm just explaining how the creators set up Emilia to be the bigger villain. Someone who couldn't accept she was in the wrong and was willing to cross any line to achieve her goals. And when you think about it, Emilia's reason for hating mutes is pretty stupid. It's nothing personal, it's just her father's own ideals drilled into her brain at a young age and the need to succeed where countless generations have failed. This was a great way to show how racism works in the real world and affects social development.
@@maxleroux I have 2 questions 1. So... Song Oak never made the cure to turn back animals into mutes? 2. Why didn't Kipo mom and dad age at the end of the show?
Can we just point out the most brutal and hilarious line of the series: "I'm no help to my brother if I'm dead" "You're no help to him alive either" "To far?"
Emilias defeat becomes all the more poetic when you realise it's Fun Gus who she ends up with; All we know about Fun Gus backstory is that he's a fungus mute in Emilias original burrow. In that burrow, the formula that transformed Hugo into a sentient mute was concocted. Its not much of a stretch to assume Fun Gus was just some fungus growing on Emilias own old experements in that lab. Fun Gus lonely existence is her fault, and now she's going to have to pay for it. At least the guy finally has a friend.
@Sardonicus potential for a continuation, honestly this ending isn’t the end, it’s just a great conclusion to the original arc but there’s a ton of potential here
Actually, the creators wrote a scene that didn't make it into the show, where Fungus drags Emilia to her old room and morphs into her dead brother, causing Emilia to go insane from guilt. Someone on Twitter did a decent fan animation - twitter.com/ViliantHeart/status/1318643149338759168
This show seriously deserves so much more attention. I’m happy that the ending stuck, and feels completed enough to where it could easily be expanded on in a movie/possible spin off, but at the same time, it doesn’t desperately need it, ya know? It makes recommending this show so much easier, then compared to recommending hidden gems that were cancelled/ended on a cliffhanger. This show is easily one of my favorites of 2020, and I’m so glad it was allowed to be completed on its own terms.
Couldn’t agree more. The show’s perfect proof of the value of telling a contained story with a carefully planned beginning, middle, and end. Perfect to recommend and rewatch.
@@M3lodadon I just finished the last episode and wanted to see video essays on the show. I would say this is one of the best shows I have seen in awhile
Agreed, I wouldnt want a new season that "continues" the story; but I would love a spin-off that expands on the ending. (even Avatar got a comic, that expanded upon the still existing problems between the nations).
I also love how Emilia is not a big bad, but a downright dick. She is not the fire lord, she is Azula. She is not Voldemort, she is Unbridge. Those characters actually hurt charachters we love, and not in a backstory-ish way, but in a real time one. She killed her brother, but she also "cured" yumyan or camille or other characters we were attached to. She hurt Hugo, she kept Song away from Kipo for thirteen years! She has done so much bad for no really good reason, we absolutely, 100% KNOW she's heartless
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 thanks! Man, one part of me wishes you more subs because you deserve them but the other doesn't because you wouldn't be able to answer basically every comment anymore
@@mimikyulover3411 Haha I appreciate it! One of my videos recently surpassed a million views but I still kept up with all the comments on a daily basis so no matter what I'll do my best!
I love how they didn't give her a sad backstory where she turns out to be the actual victim of the story. Instead they just went "she killed her own brother to stop him from telling everyone else that mutes and humans can live together in peace. She's just a straight up bad person and she must go down"
Easter egg from season 1 in season 3: When Kipo is trying on clothes to wear on the Surface, she tries on a rainbow dress that appears again in season 3, when Wolf is looking for clothes to wear to prom. That means that Wolf went to the same store that Kipo did without realizing it.
Also when the humans are retreating from the battle at the Timbercat village, when Song and Lio overhear them, they stop for a bit in the same music store that Kipo goes to in the very first episode
Yo raise your axes for yumyan him getting cured caught me off guard but at least he went out heroically and has definitely earned his carving amongst the other axe lord carvings.
I think my favourite thing was that they gave Emilia some humanity by her growing up with an abusive father- but they still dont redeem her because at the end of the day she chose the path she went down. I know you brought that up but its my favourite thing just due to how realistic and grounded it is.
She's one of those characters that is pure evil, but is also one of those tragic characters that could have been so much better with someone better to raise them, while still not making her redeemable
As sad as I was that Scarlemagne died, after thinking about it I realized that it's a callback to season 2. In season 2 Kipo sacrifices her humanity to save a "coliseum full of mutes", which Scarlemagne remarks on. In season 3, Scarlemagne sacrifices his own life to save his human sister Kipo. He couldn't understand why she would do what she did in season 2 until he does it himself because he loves her as a friend and as family. He also becomes an example that anyone can change and becomes the symbol of the new world (a parallel to how he wanted to reform Las Vistas into a mute-safe paradise). I think it's very fitting. It's also very fitting that Emilia doesn't get to rest easy in death but is instead stuck with Fun Gus for eternity to be faced directly with her actions. A mute-hater stuck with a mute.
The scene where the wild says "I can feel my mind fading, like a dying star" That surprised me i was not expecting that from a kids show. I also like how complete redemption is shown not to always be the right thing answer
@@mimikyulover3411 I know, but heroic deads for the redeemed villains are so cliche, imagine if on the epilogue, we end up learning that Hugo has been the one telling the story of Kipo to young mutes, teaching that her way is better, he is living proof of it, as for the karmatic punishment, we learn that he can't play the piano as he used to, for his character that is a fitting punishment in exchange of redemption. But it was last season sooo... redemption = dead, with statue in this case. XD
My favorite part of Kipo: Yumyan: "lets stick all of Molly's axes in a bush then when she looks fir he axes she be lik 'hey were are my axes? Hey why is this bush full of axes??' And then we'll all laugh" 🤣🤣lovely

@@slevinchannel7589 at the end it really seemed like they got bored at the show and ended up doing stupid things like murdering hugo and not turning everyone back from being “cured” like 5 years later
@@slevinchannel7589 it's about how some kind of mutagen made creatures suddenly become sentient, with humming birds making bommbs from their necter. Just let people enjoy the show.
This show is literally the best show ever to me, it’s so perfect and the ending was just so perfect and I loved it all. Infinity/10 for me. You worded exactly why this season stands out as the best one to me.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I love your videos! I’m really bad at wording my thoughts for shows I love, especially this one I can never explain why it’s my favourite cartoon and show but this video really cements why I love it! Your videos are awesome I can’t wait for more!
There is one plot hole that confused me. Hugo was NOT always a mute. In fact he started out as a normal Mandril. Kipo's mother and father used something that turned him into a mute. Couldn't they continued to try and figure out that same formula to turn mutes like Yumyan back into their original form?
Interesting insight here! Yeah, a lot of us have been wondering why there’s no fix after five years. Maybe some day we’ll know why and/or Lio and Song will figure it out!
Another thing that bugged me, was that Emilia took something (not sure what, just that is represents DNA) from a walrus in order to make a “cure” that would effect Kipo as well as everyone else. However, when the fireworks go off at the end, Kipo covers the other mutes, but doesn’t turn back to human herself? Did Emilia not get that version ready in time to sabotage the fireworks, or was it just forgotten about?
My theory is that you can change an animal into a mute and they will have a personality and a mind but now that the characters have been changed back, re-muting them won't bring back who they were, they might be able to be people again but they'll be someone else with no memory.
I cried on the inside when Scarlemagne died... I didn't even noticed,, but it's true: Scarlemagne was a character that was so good developed, he was a villain because he was betrayed once and lost faith on humans, he starts to bring back his good side, but it's not, like, in 2 minutes, it took time, it took effort... I loved that so much. I love that when Kipo's trying to bring the good out of him, he doesn't want to, but with the mute kids on the village, he was so soft... I had chills when that scene came up. Also, when he is helping Wolf to get new clothes to go to the Prom... He acts like he is her older brother. And I loved that so much, that he acted like Kipo and Wolf were his sisters, it hit me so hard. I loved that show so much... I admit, I'm still sad about those 'cured' mutes... but I know the message that it brings us... I seriously love this show...
You're the second person I've seen mention autism or disabilities for this show while I'm doing research to see if I can get into it. A youtuber named Questing Refuge did a video on Dave's disability and how he connected with Dave because of how it represented a lot of what those with disabilities go through.
I think the social issues, anxiety, and sensory overload that come with autism are all things anyone would want to cure. It’s not a fun life a lot of times. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t wonderful people
I was gonna say this in live chat but I couldn't find the words at the time. I love Amelia's character. The fact she was basically radicalized and pushed by her father to be the best- to be the one to end the mutes she kept that with her and would do literally anything, even if it hurt those closest to her, to prove to her father that she could indeed do this and any other option isn't good enough. The show makes it so apparent and I'm pretty sure actually points out the fact she literally can't handle being wrong, but it's just. So good. There's so much depth to her and I adore it. (Haha sorry if this doesn't make much sense it's hard for me to get my many thoughts about this down)
It makes perfect sense! I loved that too. A character can be complex without ultimately redeeming in the end! Any character in a story should be complex after all!
I am kinda sad that the wolf siblings never got cured... like they thought they were getting away and then they were shot from behind... I hope at least they get cured one day many years later 😢
@@sandywolfr26 I thought that Kipo's parents figured out (or at the very least had a solid starting point) on what caused the mutation when they realised that Hugo could finally talk? Or did they not keep that information?
@@seandabest4329 Remember that burrow been destroy when kipo mom turn into the mega monkey. Plus it seems that burrow was the most of the science one, so they need to start everything by scratch.And who knows what they had when they started. It been 13/14 years so most ingredients will spoil or not be around anymore when kipo went to the science burrow. And it been taken over by gus so that a no go. I'm thinking everything they learnt was in the journal as well. And by the time hugo spoke, they both look tired and hopeless like they been at it for a long time. So they been trying a ton of formulas before he spoke. And there no more normal animals left to safely try the formulas out on as i remember emila saying hugo was the last one left. They don't know if it going to kill them or mess them up some other way.
I mean my main issue with the curing is that no-one brought it up again, not even all the humans who SAW Wolf's siblings get cured. Plus Kipo clearly didn't care about cured mutes enough to go save any outside of the city. 5 years later and we only see like 2 cured mutes in the city.
Something I loved about this show are it's themes of racism, discrimination, and it's environmental messages. Heck there's an episode in season 3 where Kipo and her crew rescue 4 of they're mute friends from emilia's lab. This refers to how major corporations use animals as test subjects. This scene also refers to the shows semi subtle message of how important animal rights are. I always believed that animals are not as dumb as we humans tend to believe. There are two moments in season 3 that I happy cried and sad cried. The first moment was when the mute children are playing together and doing the secret handshake which just really warmed my heart to a point where even though I'm not a parent, my instincts still kicked in because I did not want to see the futures of these children by someone who saw them as monsters. The other moment was when some of the mutes got they're intelligence taken away in the battle. I also cried during yumyans final goodbye. In this day and age I'm glad this show was released during a time it was needed most which is now.
Well, is it racism if they are entirely different species? Anyways, they were in no way referring to animal rights lol, the circumstances in the show vs real life are night and day
I never cry when I watch TV shows. I have watched many sad things happen on screen and it didn't shake me up nearly as much as Scarlemagne's death. I actually wept for over 10 minutes after he died. I never do that. It was a rushed death to me, one that didn't get the time or buildup it deserved and yet it still hit me like a thousand bricks. I just wish he could have been a family with the rest of the Oaks again.
You can definitely tell that the creators were told that they weren't going to get more time and space to tell their story and that they had to wrap it up quickly, season three did feel rushed and it didn't have the room to breathe that one and two did, but they did not half ass this season, they did absolutely everything they could to get their points across and for what it was, they did an amazing job. They still struck a sense of balance in their storyline and themes, they still kept it realistic. There was a lot lost in the constraints for time, but I never felt heavily disappointed by any of it, even if I knew it could have been done better. Kipo had an excellent writing team and I'm very glad we got to have the ending that we did
I adored Scarlemane’s (I probably spelt that wrong) redemption ark and it was realistically paced and you can see him gradually grow as a person and you could tell that he genuinely felt horrible for what he did, I thought they handled it greatly
It was quite obvious they weren't going to redeem her. She had gone way too far for any redemption and was already before an evil person as we have seen her brutalizing Lio, Song, Hugo and the other Humans and Mutes throughout the story. I knew they would subvert the weak expectations that she has a sad backstory with her Brother and it was sad...from the perspective of her brother she brutally murdered.
Kipo and the age of wonder beasts is a beautiful show indeed. They did a great job on representation and making it to where the person watching can relate. To me it’s a more realistic feel like how you mentioned Emelia and how she still didn’t want to make peace with mutes. The show did a good job of showing how different people are and that it’s ok. I love how they showed the loss of everyone and the pain it brought. I will never forget how Emelia didn’t even eat Bensons pancakes. This makes no sense I just wanted to rant.
this was super enjoyable !! kipos such an amazing series i love the colors, art direction n design, the music is AMAZING etc etc it should totally get a movie/some kinda continuation of story i'd be into it :DD always interested in hearing ppls thoughts on redemption as well, ur right imo it should def be a lil more earned/less of a heroic sacrifice @ the final moment kinda thing n im rlly glad kipo didnt have that, makes it all the more satisfying ^_^
Thank you. I couldn’t agree more. And hopefully the movie does indeed happen! I will indeed happily lead the charge to get it trending on October 23rd haha
Well, if they ever do make a movie, that's an easy plot thread for them to follow. At the same time, it would kinda cheapen the ending if they just got a reset on everyone they lost in the finale. It's not really loss if you just get it back. I suppose they could go on a journey to gather supplies and refine the vaccine, only for it to end up not working and let the story weave in a grief theme to go with the loss of the 3rd season. Or give us a happy ending? I don't know...
@@tdblackboxx6866 Yeah, based on the storylines Rad has mentioned for his two movie ideas, they sound like standalone journeys for Wolf and Benson. So I don't think the meaning of the ending will be undercut.
@@tdblackboxx6866 I'm thinking more like they move outside La Vistas and meet other humans outside of their world and other mutes. And probably explain what caused the mute takeover because they don't explain that too much in the show. A vaccine would be nice but kinda of realistic because yeah, it would be a rest if everyone came back and animals lifespan is kinda short compared to humans. So I don't know whether a "cured" mute's lifespan would make for the old chachters like Yumyan come back for a movie
I thought the vaccine for the cure would stop the cure from working, but not that it could *undo* the cure. I was actually hoping against that happening, as it would undermine the stakes. Sometimes you can’t undo the damage that has been done. You can only mitigate it. So I was fairly pleased that they didn’t make it so it could suddenly fix everything that had happened. It was bittersweet and played into the themes well, but was still sad.
I feel like because of her father's parenting, Emilia felt superior towards her brother. Even tho she loved him she didn't valued him more than she valued her own plans. Also since she agreed with her father and didn't questioned their mission (to bring humans back on top)it made the only way of living Emilia known, so I feel like that would be a possible representation of her emotions when her brother (whose she was not afraid of and didn't felt inferior towards) says the complete opposite of what her life has been about
I wonder how it would have gone if the dad went up there with them. Would he have sided with the brother or sister? On one hand, he probably doesn't want to kill the brother, and just leaving him alive would be taking his side, and he might even be swayed by his arguments, but on the other hand he could have been just like his daughter. Maybe he wouldn't kill him and just firmly tell him to go to Ratland and never come back. Idk, because his character was never explored hat deeply, he's just the reason why Emila was so crazy.
they all look so different in the end KIPOS HAIR AND BENSONS! WOLFS A TEEN KIPO IS SO TALL AHHH ( i want season 4 and 5 so bad i wish they could add more seasons) (tbh the endings quite emotional)
Ngl, I actually kinda cried when Yumyan turned into a normal cat. He was such a fun character to me, and the fact that he didn’t even turn back 5 years after was saddening. Don’t even get me started when Hugo died after he became likable-
I know some people don’t like Hugo’s Ending, but I honestly think it’s genius as well. After being ‘abandoned’, he decided to live for himself, and only himself. He built a tyrannical empire(which was crushed by Kipo and the hang ofc😃). After being captured and reconciling with the mutes, he ultimately decided to sacrifice himself for his mother, father, and his sister. Think about it this way: He lived for himself, and died for his family. That right there is some amazing character development.
I legit shed a tear in episode 6. Seeing all the mutes being transformed is depressing. The “Fight is Chamile it’s just like venom” line was probably the saddest for me
i absolutely loved this show! the message behind it is really needed nowadays, i wish i grew up with shows like this with more diversity and deeper meanings behind it!! ♥️ love, from Brazil
Well, my sister got me interested in the show and it's safe to say I'm hooked. "The Age of Wonderbeasts" is a theme that will always bring me to tears as a reminder of the emotion instilled in me by the brilliant writing and characters. 10/10 would watch again. Oh, and if you're reading this and still haven't watched it yet, give it a shot.
Kipo is amazing, I just wished it had more seasons, it felt like it should of had 5 seasons- Hugo though, His laugh was everything 😔, This shows again that dreamswork isn't scared to kill of characters! E.g She-Ra and the princesses of power.
Something I find that makes amelias defeat more satisfying is that she’s stuck with another character who’s not willing to change for other people, sure fun-Gus has the mentality of a young child but the parallels in how they each insist on their own way I just love.
8:57 I was waiting for them to have Song communicate to Kipo through Mulholland, like they did last season, and I was kind of frustrated that the sub-plot of this episode could’ve been solved so easily. But getting to see Song and Scarlamagne interact was worth it.
Awsome i absouloultley love the way you put evrything on the table and i think its safe to say this series , WAS GOLD! honestly i loved it the amount of diversity and love the show had mixed with hatred and sorrow was beuitiful
I absolutely love this show, and this ending was a great end to the series! I think it was a good idea for the mutants cured to not be fixed, as it has a lasting effect unlike in most shows where they'd more than likely be fixed. The characters have interesting backstories and plots, that left me hoping we get to see more of them in future projects, the music can really hold scenes together and is just really good, and the aniamtion is stunning! Gives off a anime kind of vibe without actually being anime! 10/10 great show :D I hope we get a kipo film one day because I REALLY want more Kipo stuff lol
I started bawling my eyes out when I saw Hugo was dying I had to pause the episode so I could make it through the rest but I love how they gave him a proper statue in honor that he saved his Kipo‘s life most shows don’t do that they usually just give the character that has died a grave and that’s it thank goodness that the creators of Kipo gave Hugo a proper memorial goodbye Hugo we all love you❤️😌
I loved season 3 but I had 3 major problems with it. Margot’s plot, Scarlemagne, and the vaccine. Margot’s plot was mostly frustrating as I felt it had a lot of good ideas about forgiveness and redemption something that the whole season was sorta about, but then it was just dropped. I’m not even mad that Wolf didn’t forgive her she has every right to, but the fact that it had no resolution was really angering. She’s just given the cure and we forget about her. It just felt like a useless plot, and it’s especially annoying when half of it was just Benson and Dave being mad (which to me got old fast). Scarlemagnes death didn’t really feel like it had any meaning, as his redemption seemed to already be good. Him dying didn’t seem to make sense to me, besides trying to add a gut punch to us. And the vaccine was confusing because Song and Lio say they can make a vaccine to reverse the cure, and even have the supplies for it, but then that’s just dropped. Sure Song said it would take a bit but it was never implied it would take y e a r s especially with the expertise Song and Lio have. I could’ve missed something with this one though. Besides the complaints I have with season 3 it was still great, and made me bawl like a baby.
These are very fair issues. I did at least appreciate that the Margot plot went in a different direction than I'd have expected and I don't think everyone needs to be redeemed to fit the themes of the season (see Emilia haha).
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I guess that’s my biggest problem with it. It’s going somewhere and then just suddenly stops. I would’ve liked to see It do more, and actually see Wolf and Margot have a conversation (without Benson and Dave interjecting). Wolf wouldn’t even need to forgive her But just a conversation tying the entire thing up, But instead Margot is given the mute equivalent of death and then written off. (Sorry this was a bit of a tangent)
The vaccine wasn't to reverse the cure. It was to stop the mutes from being cured in the first place. They might have continued working on it in case anyone ever tried to recreate Emelia's work, but it wouldn't help the ones that were already effected.
I loved the development and change Scarlemaine had as i thought he was the big bad the whole time until i found out about Hugo and then was like hes not a bad dude hes just hurt and damaged
My favorite part of Kipo: Kipo: Oh, how DARE she make it fun! They'll never come with us! Troy: Milkshake. We're not trying to get them to come with us today. Kipo: Right. *Soothingly* Double scoops filling the glass...*randomly scoops back her hair, because WHY THE FUCK NOT?* can't forget the frosty top...oh, look, there's a cherry. Plop.
I really appreciate that Amelia didn't die. I feel that just killing a villain can sometimes undermine the story and is painfully predictable. People we're opposed to, who aren't good don't just suddenly disappear. I was pleasantly surprised with this show. Also the music is kicking.
The stakes were so high in this season! I agree, the losses in this season caught me so off guard and it hit me harder than I THOUGHT. This show makes us so attached to these characters and see them as their own person/identity that watching these mutes be "cured" felt like actually losing them. Physically, they are still alive and well, but watching, for example, Yumyan, get cured, I felt like he actually died and I cried. This show is so good in that it puts every character to use but keeps the significance of the main crew. I LOVE that it showed how they take into account each aspect of each plan and event, making it feel so REAL. My favorite thing is how they treat Benson and Troy, a gay couple, like any other couple. It felt like I was watching an actual couple and not just a gay drop-in here and there. It feels great seeing proper representation. Like literally, if you make Benson or Troy a girl and they're straight, the development of their relationship would feel like any normal development that other shows make of romantic relationships. This show will always stay in a special place in my heart.
Listen this show, holy dang, I really want my nephews ad nieces to watch it....SO BADLY! This is so educational and meaningful while STILL being funny and cute and all around great!
I was afraid they were going to give Emilia a very sympathetic story and butcher her character arc, but no, it was just to show that even if she was indoctrinated in a certain way, she still had a choice, like her brother, to open her eyes to other options and become more accepting
I really enjoyed the way that this show ended especially compared to some other popular cartoons. One thing I liked about Wolf's and Margot's friendship was that it was never resolved which can be an accurate portrayal of real relationships. Sometimes there is no closure and you just have to accept that and move on. I also appreciated how they didn't make Wolf forgive Margot as she didn't prove herself to be deserving of it. As much as I love the ending to this show, part of me is left wanting more.
I will say, I did kinda understand why Emilia turned out that way. Her father was very scary and pushed both his kids to get rid of mutes so she really didn't want to disappoint him, but regardless of all the hard work she did he still expected her to do more and just was not satisfied. Same with her brother. They dealt with emotional abuse from him and I think her father's harshness corrupted her to the point where she thought curing all mutes was just all she wanted in life and nothing more due to his abuse. I think the creator even said on twitter that her mute form was her guilt. Meaning she does care and regret what she has done, but she was so far gone at that point.
I loved the show it was brilliantly written, it kept people on there toes and it made a lot of real world problems seem so easy to overcome, the age of wonderbeats has had a wonderful story and I can’t wait to see the movie.
one thing I Like that no one seams to be talking about is how Wolf won her final fight. She beat Greta not with brute force, superior strategy, being a better fighter. She won by befriending Greta, which is such a Kipo move.
That's a great point!
It's also harkens back to an old quote from Abraham Lincoln that goes, 'Do I not destroy my enemy when I make him my friend'
For a character like Wolf, who jumps to violence and assassination as a first resort, bit shows tremendous character growth
My response is I didn’t even pay attention to that, I was just enjoying the first and only well choreographed, animated, and scored fight scene in the whole show
Did she really befriend her tho? Cause it was more like a bribe/trade.
@Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox this is exactly why Stevan Universe’s ending absolutely blew. You can’t redeem a character in 1 episode. The worst part is the Stevan Universe was incredible right until the finale where the writers got amnesia and forgot how to write.
I really like that they stayed “cured”, that way it shows the consequences of war.
I do agree!
+Roy MTB - Same! I know some people were upset that those dead (well, mentally dead, they lost their sentience) characters weren't magically brought back. I think if the cure was just undone it'd kind of erase any *consequences* that should've been there. The impact of those deaths would've been totally void had they just reversed it.
@@pupville1055 I feel like it was disappointing mostly because they were building up to the “vaccine” to bringing back the cured mute’s sentience.
If they wanted to show the consequences, don't make a joke of Yumyan's death, and don't say "Oh we can fix them with a vaccine" and never do anything with it
I still have a headcanon that Song figures out the cure for the cure sometime in the future regardless, though I understand whey they left that open ended.
Funniest scene of Season 3:
Kipo: “What would scare the humans?”
Benson: “Clowns?”
Random Mutes: “Other humans! Diversity! Public speaking! Great big cockroach! Their past! A Mega Monkey! (Oh... Never mind)”.
I died of laugh because they are true😂😂
I loved that so much.
That joke made me laugh so hard I shot water out my nose because of how accurate it was.
I choked on my own spit when that scene played

SO FUNNY AND SO TRUE I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT

110%
That was probably a reference to all the online freakouts certain people had over diversity
The way I interpret Emilia's past is that she had a choice. She and Liam went through a similar upbringing, with their emotionaly abusive father. But Liam gave mutes a chance and ended up changing their minds as well. She could have chosen the same, but instead remained in darkness, which ended up being her downfall.
Everything that happens to you is not your fault, but ultimately you're responsible of what you choose to do with the options you have.

I love that the 1st time Scarlemagne tried to apologize it was rejected by the other mutes. While he was sincere and had put in some effort, it seemed like he was still mostly thinking about himself, I don’t feel like he completely understood why he needed to apologize.
By the time he apologizes the second time he’s had time to actually get to know and create real bonds with other characters. This time, he was for the most part(not completely) already trusted by the other mutes, and no one was prompting him to apologize. Scarlemagne chose to apologize all on his own, and that fact alone makes it feel more genuine. The second time Scarlemagne apologizes he’s had time to really understand what he did wrong and he’s had the chance to see someone(Emilia) doing something similar to what he did but from the perspective of the people being hurt.
I think when Scarlemagne apologizes the second time you can really see that he truly means it, and unlike the first time there was no doubt that he’s changed. Honestly by the time the show finished, Hugo had become one of my favorite characters.
Also I love that it was Scarlemagne’s apology the ultimately convinced that guy to admit what he did to the fireworks.
All very true. I really appreciate that we got to see his path to redemption in full like that.
When a read in a wiki article that Dr. Emilia killed her own brother, I just assumed she pushed him off a cliff or something. But then I watched the episode and she shot him at point blank! The show's creators gave us "Sympathy for the Mandrill" to make us feel sorry for Scarlemagne and understand him better, and then gave us that nugget of Emilia's backstory so we would stop feeling sorry for her. This shows us how different these two villains really are. Scarlemagne was angry and vengeful, while Dr. Emilia was heartless and cruel. 😠😒
Well-said!
Wait u had sympathy for Emilia before she killed her brother?
@@rackardukes3653 Of course not. There was never any good reason to like here. I'm just explaining how the creators set up Emilia to be the bigger villain. Someone who couldn't accept she was in the wrong and was willing to cross any line to achieve her goals. And when you think about it, Emilia's reason for hating mutes is pretty stupid. It's nothing personal, it's just her father's own ideals drilled into her brain at a young age and the need to succeed where countless generations have failed. This was a great way to show how racism works in the real world and affects social development.

Emilias defeat becomes all the more poetic when you realise it's Fun Gus who she ends up with;
All we know about Fun Gus backstory is that he's a fungus mute in Emilias original burrow. In that burrow, the formula that transformed Hugo into a sentient mute was concocted. Its not much of a stretch to assume Fun Gus was just some fungus growing on Emilias own old experements in that lab. Fun Gus lonely existence is her fault, and now she's going to have to pay for it. At least the guy finally has a friend.

True, true. Realistically she'd escape eventually, but that's not as satisfying so eh 🙃
@Sardonicus potential for a continuation, honestly this ending isn’t the end, it’s just a great conclusion to the original arc but there’s a ton of potential here
Actually, the creators wrote a scene that didn't make it into the show, where Fungus drags Emilia to her old room and morphs into her dead brother, causing Emilia to go insane from guilt. Someone on Twitter did a decent fan animation - twitter.com/ViliantHeart/status/1318643149338759168

This show seriously deserves so much more attention.
I’m happy that the ending stuck, and feels completed enough to where it could easily be expanded on in a movie/possible spin off, but at the same time, it doesn’t desperately need it, ya know?
It makes recommending this show so much easier, then compared to recommending hidden gems that were cancelled/ended on a cliffhanger.
This show is easily one of my favorites of 2020, and I’m so glad it was allowed to be completed on its own terms.

I also love how Emilia is not a big bad, but a downright dick. She is not the fire lord, she is Azula. She is not Voldemort, she is Unbridge. Those characters actually hurt charachters we love, and not in a backstory-ish way, but in a real time one.

Easter egg from season 1 in season 3: When Kipo is trying on clothes to wear on the Surface, she tries on a rainbow dress that appears again in season 3, when Wolf is looking for clothes to wear to prom. That means that Wolf went to the same store that Kipo did without realizing it.

I think my favourite thing was that they gave Emilia some humanity by her growing up with an abusive father- but they still dont redeem her because at the end of the day she chose the path she went down. I know you brought that up but its my favourite thing just due to how realistic and grounded it is.
Definitely agreed!
She's one of those characters that is pure evil, but is also one of those tragic characters that could have been so much better with someone better to raise them, while still not making her redeemable
As sad as I was that Scarlemagne died, after thinking about it I realized that it's a callback to season 2. In season 2 Kipo sacrifices her humanity to save a "coliseum full of mutes", which Scarlemagne remarks on. In season 3, Scarlemagne sacrifices his own life to save his human sister Kipo. He couldn't understand why she would do what she did in season 2 until he does it himself because he loves her as a friend and as family. He also becomes an example that anyone can change and becomes the symbol of the new world (a parallel to how he wanted to reform Las Vistas into a mute-safe paradise). I think it's very fitting.
It's also very fitting that Emilia doesn't get to rest easy in death but is instead stuck with Fun Gus for eternity to be faced directly with her actions. A mute-hater stuck with a mute.
Very good point about the parallel to his confusion on her sacrifice! He now understands. I really like that.
How does Emilia eat.
Will Fun Gus feed her?
Or will she starve to death?
Leaving her with Fun Gus was probably worse than killing her.
The scene where the wild says "I can feel my mind fading, like a dying star"

For me not because of yan yan Situation and Hugos death
There is one plot hole that confused me.
Hugo was NOT always a mute. In fact he started out as a normal Mandril. Kipo's mother and father used something that turned him into a mute.
Couldn't they continued to try and figure out that same formula to turn mutes like Yumyan back into their original form?
Interesting insight here! Yeah, a lot of us have been wondering why there’s no fix after five years. Maybe some day we’ll know why and/or Lio and Song will figure it out!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I sure hope they do! How could they do Yumyan like that? Yumyan owned us all.
Another thing that bugged me, was that Emilia took something (not sure what, just that is represents DNA) from a walrus in order to make a “cure” that would effect Kipo as well as everyone else. However, when the fireworks go off at the end, Kipo covers the other mutes, but doesn’t turn back to human herself? Did Emilia not get that version ready in time to sabotage the fireworks, or was it just forgotten about?
My theory is that you can change an animal into a mute and they will have a personality and a mind but now that the characters have been changed back, re-muting them won't bring back who they were, they might be able to be people again but they'll be someone else with no memory.
@@kiiekoii9752 it wasn't to make a new version of the cure. It was so she could transform herself.

I cried on the inside when Scarlemagne died...
I didn't even noticed,, but it's true: Scarlemagne was a character that was so good developed, he was a villain because he was betrayed once and lost faith on humans, he starts to bring back his good side, but it's not, like, in 2 minutes, it took time, it took effort... I loved that so much. I love that when Kipo's trying to bring the good out of him, he doesn't want to, but with the mute kids on the village, he was so soft... I had chills when that scene came up.
Also, when he is helping Wolf to get new clothes to go to the Prom... He acts like he is her older brother. And I loved that so much, that he acted like Kipo and Wolf were his sisters, it hit me so hard. I loved that show so much...
I admit, I'm still sad about those 'cured' mutes... but I know the message that it brings us... I seriously love this show...
maybe i'm the only one, but i saw parallels in amelia to the people who believe that autism should be "cured".
Hadn't thought of it that way! She really is the worst kind of person, huh?
You're the second person I've seen mention autism or disabilities for this show while I'm doing research to see if I can get into it. A youtuber named Questing Refuge did a video on Dave's disability and how he connected with Dave because of how it represented a lot of what those with disabilities go through.
I think the social issues, anxiety, and sensory overload that come with autism are all things anyone would want to cure. It’s not a fun life a lot of times. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t wonderful people
She's afraid of diversity and mega monkeys
I was gonna say this in live chat but I couldn't find the words at the time.
I love Amelia's character. The fact she was basically radicalized and pushed by her father to be the best- to be the one to end the mutes she kept that with her and would do literally anything, even if it hurt those closest to her, to prove to her father that she could indeed do this and any other option isn't good enough. The show makes it so apparent and I'm pretty sure actually points out the fact she literally can't handle being wrong, but it's just. So good. There's so much depth to her and I adore it.
(Haha sorry if this doesn't make much sense it's hard for me to get my many thoughts about this down)
It makes perfect sense! I loved that too. A character can be complex without ultimately redeeming in the end! Any character in a story should be complex after all!

Plus it seems that burrow was the most of the science one, so they need to start everything by scratch.And who knows what they had when they started.

I'm thinking everything they learnt was in the journal as well. And by the time hugo spoke, they both look tired and hopeless like they been at it for a long time. So they been trying a ton of formulas before he spoke. And there no more normal animals left to safely try the formulas out on as i remember emila saying hugo was the last one left. They don't know if it going to kill them or mess them up some other way.
I mean my main issue with the curing is that no-one brought it up again, not even all the humans who SAW Wolf's siblings get cured. Plus Kipo clearly didn't care about cured mutes enough to go save any outside of the city. 5 years later and we only see like 2 cured mutes in the city.
@@sandywolfr26 But they'll never bring Hugo back... :,(
Something I loved about this show are it's themes of racism, discrimination, and it's environmental messages. Heck there's an episode in season 3 where Kipo and her crew rescue 4 of they're mute friends from emilia's lab. This refers to how major corporations use animals as test subjects. This scene also refers to the shows semi subtle message of how important animal rights are. I always believed that animals are not as dumb as we humans tend to believe. There are two moments in season 3 that I happy cried and sad cried. The first moment was when the mute children are playing together and doing the secret handshake which just really warmed my heart to a point where even though I'm not a parent, my instincts still kicked in because I did not want to see the futures of these children by someone who saw them as monsters. The other moment was when some of the mutes got they're intelligence taken away in the battle. I also cried during yumyans final goodbye. In this day and age I'm glad this show was released during a time it was needed most which is now.
Well, is it racism if they are entirely different species? Anyways, they were in no way referring to animal rights lol, the circumstances in the show vs real life are night and day
I never cry when I watch TV shows. I have watched many sad things happen on screen and it didn't shake me up nearly as much as Scarlemagne's death. I actually wept for over 10 minutes after he died. I never do that. It was a rushed death to me, one that didn't get the time or buildup it deserved and yet it still hit me like a thousand bricks. I just wish he could have been a family with the rest of the Oaks again.
This. This so much.
I really wasn’t sad at scarlemange’s death but Yumyan made me cry for like a day ;(
You can definitely tell that the creators were told that they weren't going to get more time and space to tell their story and that they had to wrap it up quickly, season three did feel rushed and it didn't have the room to breathe that one and two did, but they did not half ass this season, they did absolutely everything they could to get their points across and for what it was, they did an amazing job. They still struck a sense of balance in their storyline and themes, they still kept it realistic. There was a lot lost in the constraints for time, but I never felt heavily disappointed by any of it, even if I knew it could have been done better. Kipo had an excellent writing team and I'm very glad we got to have the ending that we did
I adored Scarlemane’s (I probably spelt that wrong) redemption ark and it was realistically paced and you can see him gradually grow as a person and you could tell that he genuinely felt horrible for what he did, I thought they handled it greatly
It was quite obvious they weren't going to redeem her. She had gone way too far for any redemption and was already before an evil person as we have seen her brutalizing Lio, Song, Hugo and the other Humans and Mutes throughout the story. I knew they would subvert the weak expectations that she has a sad backstory with her Brother and it was sad...from the perspective of her brother she brutally murdered.
The one thing I don't like about Kipo: There isn't enough.... I'm still sad that i watched all of season 3 in one day. I regret it
I watched it as soon as it started, so it left me hungry for more.
I watched all of it in 1 day, the day I’m writing this October 31st 2021 remember me
someone said the ultimate goal of kipo was to make an irl animal crossing and i can’t stop thinking about it
LOL
WHEEZE
Kipo and the age of wonder beasts is a beautiful show indeed. They did a great job on representation and making it to where the person watching can relate. To me it’s a more realistic feel like how you mentioned Emelia and how she still didn’t want to make peace with mutes. The show did a good job of showing how different people are and that it’s ok. I love how they showed the loss of everyone and the pain it brought. I will never forget how Emelia didn’t even eat Bensons pancakes. This makes no sense I just wanted to rant.
We should have known for sure back then that she wouldn't change!!!
this was super enjoyable !! kipos such an amazing series i love the colors, art direction n design, the music is AMAZING etc etc it should totally get a movie/some kinda continuation of story i'd be into it :DD always interested in hearing ppls thoughts on redemption as well, ur right imo it should def be a lil more earned/less of a heroic sacrifice @ the final moment kinda thing n im rlly glad kipo didnt have that, makes it all the more satisfying ^_^
Thank you. I couldn’t agree more. And hopefully the movie does indeed happen! I will indeed happily lead the charge to get it trending on October 23rd haha
Im really depressed that they didn't make the vaccine for the cure. Now all those "cured" animals will never talk again :(
It could just be taking a long time! At least that’s what we can tell ourselves! Hold onto hope!
Well, if they ever do make a movie, that's an easy plot thread for them to follow. At the same time, it would kinda cheapen the ending if they just got a reset on everyone they lost in the finale. It's not really loss if you just get it back. I suppose they could go on a journey to gather supplies and refine the vaccine, only for it to end up not working and let the story weave in a grief theme to go with the loss of the 3rd season. Or give us a happy ending? I don't know...
@@tdblackboxx6866 Yeah, based on the storylines Rad has mentioned for his two movie ideas, they sound like standalone journeys for Wolf and Benson. So I don't think the meaning of the ending will be undercut.
@@tdblackboxx6866 I'm thinking more like they move outside La Vistas and meet other humans outside of their world and other mutes. And probably explain what caused the mute takeover because they don't explain that too much in the show. A vaccine would be nice but kinda of realistic because yeah, it would be a rest if everyone came back and animals lifespan is kinda short compared to humans. So I don't know whether a "cured" mute's lifespan would make for the old chachters like Yumyan come back for a movie
I thought the vaccine for the cure would stop the cure from working, but not that it could *undo* the cure. I was actually hoping against that happening, as it would undermine the stakes. Sometimes you can’t undo the damage that has been done. You can only mitigate it. So I was fairly pleased that they didn’t make it so it could suddenly fix everything that had happened. It was bittersweet and played into the themes well, but was still sad.
I feel like because of her father's parenting, Emilia felt superior towards her brother. Even tho she loved him she didn't valued him more than she valued her own plans. Also since she agreed with her father and didn't questioned their mission (to bring humans back on top)it made the only way of living Emilia known, so I feel like that would be a possible representation of her emotions when her brother (whose she was not afraid of and didn't felt inferior towards) says the complete opposite of what her life has been about
I wonder how it would have gone if the dad went up there with them. Would he have sided with the brother or sister? On one hand, he probably doesn't want to kill the brother, and just leaving him alive would be taking his side, and he might even be swayed by his arguments, but on the other hand he could have been just like his daughter. Maybe he wouldn't kill him and just firmly tell him to go to Ratland and never come back. Idk, because his character was never explored hat deeply, he's just the reason why Emila was so crazy.
I cried when yumyan hammerpaw got “cured” and I’m not afraid to admit it
The music really sells the moment.
*Yumyan owns you all!* 😭😭😭
Ahhhh 😭
Correction Owns the box
they all look so different in the end
KIPOS HAIR AND BENSONS!
WOLFS A TEEN
KIPO IS SO TALL
AHHH
( i want season 4 and 5 so bad i wish they could add more seasons)
(tbh the endings quite emotional)
I never seen this show but, it looks instering, i also loke wolf's cape
You should definitely give it a watch!
It’s so freaking good!
Wolf's cape is the skin of her adopted wolf mother, who made her adopted brothers and sister hunt Wolf as a test of their hunting skills.
@@Zurcwind And that's canon!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 hep, you don't need to dig to deep to find out that Kipo is not all smiles and rainbows, but that is what makes it a good show.
God this is really one of the best most consistently good shows made, it kills me that it isn't getting that much attention
Gosh, me too!
*I know I'm late even though I Finished the show a while ago, but the way scarlamane developed in season 3 was ASTRONOMICAL.*
Hugo has one of the best character development ever. Right up there wth zuko
Ngl, I actually kinda cried when Yumyan turned into a normal cat. He was such a fun character to me, and the fact that he didn’t even turn back 5 years after was saddening. Don’t even get me started when Hugo died after he became likable-
i got so excited when you mentioned a wolf movie…then i saw that the video is 2 years old :(
Yeah... well, never say never!
I ADORE this show but I will never get over the fact that Hugo looks like a coconut and that just ruined his evil image for me XD
LOL interesting! Never thought of that!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 Yh like before you peel all the fibre off. One big fuzzy coconut!
It’s crazy to me Kipo HERSELF turns out to be the cure!
I know some people don’t like Hugo’s Ending, but I honestly think it’s genius as well. After being ‘abandoned’, he decided to live for himself, and only himself. He built a tyrannical empire(which was crushed by Kipo and the hang ofc😃). After being captured and reconciling with the mutes, he ultimately decided to sacrifice himself for his mother, father, and his sister.
Think about it this way: He lived for himself, and died for his family. That right there is some amazing character development.
You really make an excellent point right there.
GOD I MISS THIS SERIES I IMMEDIATELY GOT HAPPY WHEN I SAW IT BUT I THEN NOTICE IT WAS 2 YEARS OLD, GOSH I FEEL LIKE THIS SERIES WASN'T THAT OLD 🥲
Sometimes late at night, around 3 am, I wake up in a sweat, my mind chanting:
"Fetta, gouda, chevre fromage"
As we all do.
I legit shed a tear in episode 6. Seeing all the mutes being transformed is depressing. The “Fight is Chamile it’s just like venom” line was probably the saddest for me
i absolutely loved this show! the message behind it is really needed nowadays, i wish i grew up with shows like this with more diversity and deeper meanings behind it!! ♥️ love, from Brazil
Couldn’t agree more, May! All my love to Brazil!
Well, my sister got me interested in the show and it's safe to say I'm hooked. "The Age of Wonderbeasts" is a theme that will always bring me to tears as a reminder of the emotion instilled in me by the brilliant writing and characters. 10/10 would watch again. Oh, and if you're reading this and still haven't watched it yet, give it a shot.
Heroes On Fire for me
The margot subplot could have been given more room to breathe and what happened in the end was too sad
I just love how they developed Hugo like when I saw him in season 2 I hated him so much, but when he died in season 3 I legit cried.
He came a long way!
Kipo is amazing, I just wished it had more seasons, it felt like it should of had 5 seasons- Hugo though, His laugh was everything 😔, This shows again that dreamswork isn't scared to kill of characters! E.g She-Ra and the princesses of power.
Now's probably a good time to buy that milk
Before it’s too late!
0:50 Jamack really cares for her.
He's come a long way in a few months!
Something I find that makes amelias defeat more satisfying is that she’s stuck with another character who’s not willing to change for other people, sure fun-Gus has the mentality of a young child but the parallels in how they each insist on their own way I just love.
Who wants kipo never to end because it’s one of the best servies on Netflix?
It is absolutely one of the best Netflix shows ever, easily
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 yep for sure
Man. Just a moment of pure hope came across 2020. This show was near perfect.
8:57
I was waiting for them to have Song communicate to Kipo through Mulholland, like they did last season, and I was kind of frustrated that the sub-plot of this episode could’ve been solved so easily. But getting to see Song and Scarlamagne interact was worth it.
Two years ago.
Damn. They should have more seasons of this
Scarlemagne was and still is my favorite character. I was heartbroken when he sacrificed himself.
Awsome i absouloultley love the way you put evrything on the table and i think its safe to say this series , WAS GOLD!
honestly i loved it the amount of diversity and love the show had mixed with hatred and sorrow was beuitiful
This show is incredible. It touched my soul. My nerd heart. I hope this team tells more tales. Have they?
I absolutely love this show, and this ending was a great end to the series! I think it was a good idea for the mutants cured to not be fixed, as it has a lasting effect unlike in most shows where they'd more than likely be fixed. The characters have interesting backstories and plots, that left me hoping we get to see more of them in future projects, the music can really hold scenes together and is just really good, and the aniamtion is stunning! Gives off a anime kind of vibe without actually being anime! 10/10 great show :D I hope we get a kipo film one day because I REALLY want more Kipo stuff lol
I uesd to watch kipo all the time and I was sad when it ended.
We need more Kipo it's 2023 and ccan't stop thinking of Kipo.
I started bawling my eyes out when I saw Hugo was dying I had to pause the episode so I could make it through the rest but I love how they gave him a proper statue in honor that he saved his Kipo‘s life most shows don’t do that they usually just give the character that has died a grave and that’s it thank goodness that the creators of Kipo gave Hugo a proper memorial goodbye Hugo we all love you❤️😌
I really wanted to cry myself to sleep after the show was done 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I loved season 3 but I had 3 major problems with it. Margot’s plot, Scarlemagne, and the vaccine. Margot’s plot was mostly frustrating as I felt it had a lot of good ideas about forgiveness and redemption something that the whole season was sorta about, but then it was just dropped. I’m not even mad that Wolf didn’t forgive her she has every right to, but the fact that it had no resolution was really angering. She’s just given the cure and we forget about her. It just felt like a useless plot, and it’s especially annoying when half of it was just Benson and Dave being mad (which to me got old fast). Scarlemagnes death didn’t really feel like it had any meaning, as his redemption seemed to already be good. Him dying didn’t seem to make sense to me, besides trying to add a gut punch to us. And the vaccine was confusing because Song and Lio say they can make a vaccine to reverse the cure, and even have the supplies for it, but then that’s just dropped. Sure Song said it would take a bit but it was never implied it would take y e a r s especially with the expertise Song and Lio have. I could’ve missed something with this one though. Besides the complaints I have with season 3 it was still great, and made me bawl like a baby.
These are very fair issues. I did at least appreciate that the Margot plot went in a different direction than I'd have expected and I don't think everyone needs to be redeemed to fit the themes of the season (see Emilia haha).
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 I guess that’s my biggest problem with it. It’s going somewhere and then just suddenly stops. I would’ve liked to see It do more, and actually see Wolf and Margot have a conversation (without Benson and Dave interjecting). Wolf wouldn’t even need to forgive her
But just a conversation tying the entire thing up, But instead Margot is given the mute equivalent of death and then written off. (Sorry this was a bit of a tangent)
@@screamitloud7923 That's fair! Totally understand that. If it was going to end on bad terms it could have been more conclusive about it.
The vaccine wasn't to reverse the cure. It was to stop the mutes from being cured in the first place. They might have continued working on it in case anyone ever tried to recreate Emelia's work, but it wouldn't help the ones that were already effected.
wendyheatherwood This explanation makes the most sense for sure.
-^- it is all emotions in one now time to go rewatch the whole show
I'm sure it'll be a rewarding rewatch!
yep it will be and plus i need to know what can kill dave
@@_lazy_ We'll figure it out
I loved the development and change Scarlemaine had as i thought he was the big bad the whole time until i found out about Hugo and then was like hes not a bad dude hes just hurt and damaged
My favorite part of Kipo:
Kipo: Oh, how DARE she make it fun! They'll never come with us!
Troy: Milkshake. We're not trying to get them to come with us today.
Kipo: Right. *Soothingly* Double scoops filling the glass...*randomly scoops back her hair, because WHY THE FUCK NOT?* can't forget the frosty top...oh, look, there's a cherry. Plop.
I really appreciate that Amelia didn't die. I feel that just killing a villain can sometimes undermine the story and is painfully predictable. People we're opposed to, who aren't good don't just suddenly disappear. I was pleasantly surprised with this show. Also the music is kicking.
I full on ugly cried for like 20 minutes after the finale and I NEVER full on ugly cry in a show
The stakes were so high in this season! I agree, the losses in this season caught me so off guard and it hit me harder than I THOUGHT.
This show makes us so attached to these characters and see them as their own person/identity that watching these mutes be "cured" felt like actually losing them. Physically, they are still alive and well, but watching, for example, Yumyan, get cured, I felt like he actually died and I cried.
This show is so good in that it puts every character to use but keeps the significance of the main crew. I LOVE that it showed how they take into account each aspect of each plan and event, making it feel so REAL.
My favorite thing is how they treat Benson and Troy, a gay couple, like any other couple. It felt like I was watching an actual couple and not just a gay drop-in here and there. It feels great seeing proper representation. Like literally, if you make Benson or Troy a girl and they're straight, the development of their relationship would feel like any normal development that other shows make of romantic relationships.
This show will always stay in a special place in my heart.
Listen this show, holy dang, I really want my nephews ad nieces to watch it....SO BADLY! This is so educational and meaningful while STILL being funny and cute and all around great!
It’d be great for them to see it!!!
I was afraid they were going to give Emilia a very sympathetic story and butcher her character arc, but no, it was just to show that even if she was indoctrinated in a certain way, she still had a choice, like her brother, to open her eyes to other options and become more accepting
I watched this show in 3 days. It was so good and I wish it was longer. Or maybe even second show kinda like Avatar did
Me: 3rd time watching kipo:
Me: Still Cries when the mutes get cured
WHY BRAD WHY
AMY LOST SO MUCH! FIRST RAT WORLD. THEN RAT VAN. THEN BRAAAD!
“all good thing must come to an end”☹️
I already miss the kipo series
I really enjoyed the way that this show ended especially compared to some other popular cartoons. One thing I liked about Wolf's and Margot's friendship was that it was never resolved which can be an accurate portrayal of real relationships.
Sometimes there is no closure and you just have to accept that and move on. I also appreciated how they didn't make Wolf forgive Margot as she didn't prove herself to be deserving of it.
As much as I love the ending to this show, part of me is left wanting more.
I am so down for some spin offs and movies, really want a cure, and I want them to show how they mutated
Imagine if covid19 was what happened since viruses comes from animals but they do evolve too
I really miss Hugo.. Cried for him more than I did for Mathew crawley.. Dan stevens did it again! Love that clever bastard
Yesterday the milk expired.
(Oct. 24th, 2020 today)
Bro one of the saddest s3nces was when yum yen was turned into a normal cat😢😢
Season 3 was fire
98/100 season 3
97/100 season 1
95/100 season 2
I will say, I did kinda understand why Emilia turned out that way. Her father was very scary and pushed both his kids to get rid of mutes so she really didn't want to disappoint him, but regardless of all the hard work she did he still expected her to do more and just was not satisfied. Same with her brother. They dealt with emotional abuse from him and I think her father's harshness corrupted her to the point where she thought curing all mutes was just all she wanted in life and nothing more due to his abuse. I think the creator even said on twitter that her mute form was her guilt. Meaning she does care and regret what she has done, but she was so far gone at that point.
Plus, nobody pays taxes. That’s a utopia right there
I loved the show it was brilliantly written, it kept people on there toes and it made a lot of real world problems seem so easy to overcome, the age of wonderbeats has had a wonderful story and I can’t wait to see the movie.
