Forum:Regarding the 02 Epilogue

In some ways, I wish the 02 Epilogue had never been made. Sure, it gave more info about the characters after 02, and offered some closure to the fans, but...
 * Why not end the series when the last battle ended, and leave whatever happened afterwards up to the fans and their immaginations? You could release CD dramas/books, etc. about future events or do an alternate universe thing with different future events/"endings".
 * The epilogue tended to "close" the series- characters got married, had children. Those facts solidified what was and wasn't cannon, and caused a lot of grief/happiness among the hardcore fans, which ended up in Shipping Wars.  Ah, the Shipping Wars.
 * Was it rushed? Some of the ideas feel half-baked/holey.
 * And finally, it seems like a product of some really bad drugs.

Some fans regard it as crazy or disregard it completely anyways. Thoughts? Rad140 I praise myself on being the last one to post in all three of our forums. (Message) 22:22, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

PS. I've noticed a lot of fiction works are using epilogues like this, much to the grief of some fans. Harry Potter is a recent example.
 * In a lot of ways, I think this is the author's way of saying: "This is the way I see things and I have the final say." They know there are fans out there that ignore it, but it's their way of showing their opinion on the characters.


 * Personally, what I hated most was Miyako's turn into a Yamato Nadeshiko even though I knew that it is a huge desire of hers, and it is a representation of an aspect I can't see to eye to eye with Japan. Lanate (talk) 05:24, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

One thing I noticed is that they didn't specify whether Kari married Davis or TK. That much they left up to our interpretation. (I'd say TK in my headcanon, besides she always seemed to like him more) KillRoy231 (talk) 07:24, December 20, 2016 (UTC)
