The Genius of Kipo's Ending

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.

did anyone else die when a mute said humans fear divirserty

I’m glad they didn’t redeem Emilia

I really like that they stayed “cured”, that way it shows the consequences of war.

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.

"her dream works" might just be the best line in any video ever

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😂😂

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...

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.

Not gonna lie, I squealed when I saw their future appearances. WOLF IS A TEENAGER NOW I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

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.

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.

Still kinda annoyed we never found out what can actually kill Dave. (And I’m still crying about yumyan and scarlamagne)

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.

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. 😠😒

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.

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. <3 #HMUFA 4life

Yumyan owns you all...
