While I understand the direction the show had been going lately and that it was pretty much appropriate to kill them off (I mean years of throwing those toys around must have done some good damage to them), I really missed when it was more light hearted and comedic. Now I'm not saying I didn't like the last couple of seasons....something about how dark some of these seasons got just felt off to me. I don't know, its just my opinion of course but I understand why he had to make the ending like that. He wanted them to go out in a blaze of glory.....I'm also thinking he did it so machinima couldn't bother him to do more seasons or create another spin off. Though from what I've heard he may still continue bytes which I haven't watched much of but are supposed to be similar to the comedic Arby n the Chief that I personally prefer so I may check that out. Either way it was a pretty great machinima which really reminded me why I used to like Machinima in the first place...before they got kind of lame.
