Your average episode of Primal is a solid 8/10, with many episodes as incredible as a 9.5/10. There are only a few that're worse than that. Suffice to say I fucking loved Primal as I watched it, was always looking forward to the next ep, and never missed a premier day. Incredible art, animation, and especially soundtrack. So much is told through little to no actual dialogue.

'The Primal Theory' episode I thought was pretty good, but as I watched it I couldn't help but feel like "we only have a few more episode left, I hope this time spent away from the main storyline doesn't detract from the finale." And boy it did, bigtime. The finale was fuckin ASSCHEEKS. It was BAD. And not even in the main choices for what happens to the characters. They could have kept all the main plot decisions the same, but could have portrayed it about 7000x better. ESPECIALLY if they didn't waste a whole episode on some random ass non-related story. If they just made the final ep a 2-parter in length, and fleshed out the details, Primal would have been a complete masterpiece start to finish.

Unfortunately, a damn near perfect series ended on a complete shitstain note of a final episode. Still worth watching. Still pissed off about the ending

Into what? The finale is about a Viking turned into a magma golem by I assume Sutr or just generally Satan on a magical revenge mission again Spear. What other details did you want? How exactly did you expect it to play out?

Exactly! Spear wasn't going to win this battle, and they did a nice job showing how Mira and Spear were close, but could never be fully together. Mira did a mercy and carried his story on when he couldn't.

Spear didn't win but he did still get one over on the viking. He showed him who the true hero really was.

Yeah and how Spear took it like a fucking champ like his father and tackled him off the cliff while on fire in order to make sure fang was okay, so awesome. Probably one of the most badass sacrifices I've ever seen

I wrote like four paragraphs about The Primal Theory and its use and importance as well as touching on the finale and how it made perfect sense but could've been longer but was still absolutely epic and heartbreaking, but yeah agree to disagree lol
