So basically barry died a hero in the audience perspective and gene lived on as the villain, this ending is way too good😂😂😂
Bro a 10/10 ending I swear. Anyone who disagrees hit my line and I’ll tell you why. Also fuches ending was amazing
Oh, wow
I mean I wouldn’t say he was a hero. He killed the love of his life.
Died a hero?
Hamilton/Burr vibes
Jimmy said wow barry said wow
I admire Hader for committing to giving Gene the most grim conclusion possible, but without doing it in a cheap way.
Yep but he was about to kiII himself and finally got Barry like he wanted i guess.
@@blueazure9658I don't think that's worth spending the rest of your life in prison and remembered as some mastermind behind a bunch of murders and other crimes.
The irony is he had so many opportunities to be the better person and he always let his ego get in the way. Had he just been a better person none of that would've happened to him. Barry finally was going to turn himself in and face his punishment and so in a weird way he gets to be remembered as a hero. Posthumous redemption of sorts.
@@blueazure9658
Dude, your legacy in life is all that matters. Being known by all your loved ones and friends as a cold blooded murderer, and drug dealing mastermind, is WAY worse than him dying and being known for who he really was. Alternatively, Barry being killed and remembered as a hero, is WAY better, than him admitting what he had done and being known as a murderer to his son.
What a wild ride this series was. There's nothing on TV like this right now.
Or anymore unfortunately.
Tonally it’s not the same, but another peak show that just finished was succession
@Aaron Gutierrez nothing like Succession either. Great show. Billions is a poor man's Succession.
I have to say, a lot of people are comparing Barry to a Coen Brothers movie, but in reality, Bill Hader brought his own flavor. He saw a lot of the same movies that they watched, and they came to the same conclusions.
@@evillink1 Hader himself said he steals a lot from the Coens
Pretty sure that was Barry's first time getting shot, too. I remember in the pilot he said no when Hank asked him if he's ever been shot. And I don't remember him ever getting shot during the duration of the series.
Yep, Barry has been shot at, but never wounded. I think it's also the first time Fuches shoots someone, he's usually the one to run away at the sight of trouble.
IMO Sally told John the whole truth after the events of the show, but John spent his whole life up to that point idolizing & interacting w/ his father, so he obviously has a lot of affection despite knowing the truth about Barry. I think the last part of the episode was John getting the last piece of the 'puzzle', how the 'world' will see his father, and that touched that part of him that still loved Barry despite his faults. I don't think John has any delusions about Barry, just revisiting the feelings a son had about his father who is now gone.
Great show, unfortunate there's hardly any buzz about the finale, wasn't there a lot of buzz after season 3? I expect this show will grow in popularity/respect in the future as more people discover it. Cheers
I hope more people find it cus it’s literally a masterpiece!
Yeah for real it was such a great show that the end of it was Barry son John smile to see that they honor him as a good soldier made me tear 😢
I’ve thought of that too, but he will always be able to rationalize that Sally doesn’t really know what happened either. All she knows is what the cops told her about Barry. He could have viewed his father exactly like the movie portrayed him.
@@roems6396 He would've remembered that shootout he's in the middle of right? So he knows the film is not accurate
@@porc1429
Oh yes, he’s going to know that the film is inaccurate in terms of what happened at the shootout, and how it wasn’t his dad that came in shooting. I was referring to Barry’s history before he was born. He’ll definitely know to take it with a grain of salt, since he knows it got some things wrong…and yet he’ll probably still choose to believe a sanitized version of his father’s past, that doesn’t paint him as a cold blooded murderer.
I was thinking it was gonna be Barry vs Fuches... But I did think that it was nice that Fuches did right by Barry... For once!! Saving his son from the gun fire. Gutted about Hank, and Cousineau. I think the ending for Barry was inevitible either way you look at it.
His only redemption would only come once he lost everything, and even then it was too late.
The movie showed that its never too late. Had Barry come at Gene guns blazing, he would have died a villain. Instead he was willing to accept himself and died a hero.
@@dracos24 But the film was still harsh on Gene. Sure he’s a bit of an opportunist, but apart from Barry at the end, he's not a cold blooded killer. And he certainly wasn’t a Gangster, like the movie made him out to be... You could almost argue that the film mirrors what happens with Sally's play in Season 2. She sacrifices the truth about her abusive marriage for a more 'inspiring story'. Barry's a soldier so he gets to be the hero? That's harsh on Gene. But that’s Hollywood
You're right, Hank and Barry both were denying themselves right up to the last second, before their death. Sally and Fuches both admit who they are and get to walk away. Gene is the tough one here--people are SO harsh on him, saying he got what he deserved or that he brought this on himself, I think that's a bit much. Gene's story is definitely a tragedy here; he doesn't get what he deserves, but he gets what he wanted (fame). I really loved this show to pieces; I think it's honestly a masterpiece of a show. There's a little I would have liked to see done differently in the end (not about where they end up, but I would have liked some more time with some things), but overall one of the greats.
Well Barry did change but it was too late gene killed him
@@leopoldstotch7721 "right up to the last second, before their death"
10:14 What a perfect time to also say "Wow"
It's interesting that the only person we see directly killed by Fuches is Hank
That biopic was brilliant.
I like the fact that, out of everyone, only Sally and Fuches survive and (presumably) move on; they were the only ones capable of owning up to their bad deeds. Fuches embraces it, Sally regrets it, but at least they admit they're not good people. Cousineau, Barry and Hank lived and died (or, in Cousineau's case, went to prison) in denial.
I like to think of Fuches as the devil. In ronny/lily Barry hallucinates meeting him after returning from Afghanistan and he's dressed in red and black, colors typically associated with the devil as a character. His only real ability is to manipulate people. He is, direct or indirectly, responsible for pretty much every bad thing that happened in the show. And in the end, he gets away with it. He's a very "devil-like" character
I totally agree except for Barry’s denial. He was definitely the most distant from taking responsibility of all the characters until redeeming himself right before the end. Kind of the best way it could have gone for him.
@@space_1073 He didn't redeem himself at all. He wasn't going to turn himself in because he finally realized he was the bad guy, he was going to turn himself in because he wanted Sally to come back to him or at least for her to respect him again. Had her speech impacted him at all, he would've turned himself in before heading to Cousineau's place looking for her
@@pabloc8808 I mean if that's your interpretation thats fine, that isn't really possible to know. If anything he could have been realizing he wasn't ever going to see them again, its just what you make it.
@@space_1073 I don't know, we've been given countless opportunities to witness just how incredibly self-serving Barry is. Literally hours before dying he was telling Sally that he'd already been redeemed and there was no need for him to turn himself in.
Fun fact: guy who played Cousineau in the Barry movie is the same guy who played Mr. Grainer, Lumon’s head of security in Severance!
I think that Sally does care for John. She asks for his opinion on her show. She got so much praise and applause from other people, but I don't think she bought it until she heard it from him.
His honest opinion GENUINELY matters to her. I just think that given her tricky, traumatic, messy past (especially the fact that I don't think she ever really wanted a kid)... showing affection is something she needs to work on. She did try and protect John from the BS of that movie. And she was searching for him after that gunfight. AND her scene where she came clean to him. All that's real.
Plus, I think that she genuinely cares about the work she is doing. It isn't what she had in mind at the beginning of the show, but she seems somewhat content. And when she told a student to audition again next year or something like that, she sounded genuine.
But Idk. I have hope for her. She's alive. I don't think she is 100% okay, I don't see how anyone who went through ALL that would be. But as long as she is alive, there is hope. And in the face of ambiguity... I choose hope for change lol
Yeah I agree with that take! I think she is slowly healing and trying to be better. It’s hard to recover after a lot of that stuff, but ultimately she accepted Barry’s true nature and took John away so they could truly be happy. That showed me huge growth.
The Raven acctuly protecting Barry's son 😭😭what a g
Sally admitted her flaws, Fuches accepted who he is. And they got out. Everyone else was in denial, Hank couldn't admit what he did, and Barry actually thought he was redeemed. Fuches did a good thing by saving the kid, but he doesn't think that this makes him a good guy now. It was enough to let him live though.
In death Barry finally found the redemption/reinvention of his life he chased so desperately in life
"oh, wow" indeed
It's been fun watching you watch this show, dude. Appreciate the videos :)
Hope you're well. In the words of one Chechen mobster in S02, "Stay off the 405, bro!"
Those were the real last words of Steve Jobs as he died..."Oh...wow!"
I've always loved the way this show did violence. The way it's pretty matter of fact, (fairly) realistic, the way it's shot and edited... I love it. Feels pretty no-BS.
Seeing the stylized, over the top way the violence was done in "The Mask Collector" made me just appreciate the show's style of violence even more.
Don't get me wrong, I love a good action movie with over the top violence and all (I just rewatched Hard Boiled by John Woo two days ago. EXCELLENT movie). But prob my favorite tone of violence is the matter of fact way, and Barry does it just right.
Yeah I need more of it
There seemed to be a lot of people who were disappointed that Barry did not get to do another massacre like in the season 2 finale. But...he already did a massacre...in the season 2 finale. What do they want, a supersized massacre? Totally sick, bro.
LOL didn't think he had it in him.. Barry was genuinely shocked.
Well, we wondered how they would wrap it up in one more episode. Wow 😳
I'm satisfied 😄
Agree, second season was fantastic. Ronny/Lily is one of my favorite episodes of television EVER!
Those basso notes starting at 4:30, that's perfect. The menace and ego in that music is absolutely spot-on.
And just like that... to the shadows, the Raven returns...
I'm actually surprised Mark Wahlberg didn't play him. I mean he wanted to be portrayed as the hero...
I see the ending and the series as a whole as people that refused to change lost the most.
Barry trying to have it all and justifying himself over and over, even using religion, and by the time he finally decides to turn himself in, it seems way to late.
Gene's ego getting him in trouble so far as to become Janice murder suspect and in his dispair of his own making at this point, ends up giving up to any other path finally killing Barry.
Hank lying to himself out of fear to face the truth of his decisions and even when he is dying he holds Cristobal's statue as looking for confort in his fear of dying.
The only you could say that found a way to be different was Fuches who became more honest with himself and when finding out about John, the son of the man who in a way feels betrayed by, but still considers a son, he feels compeld to save him and return him to Barry, showing that his ego and selfishness are put away
Also Sally has a moment of change when confessing to John, showing him who she really is and actually seeing him and recognizing him for who he is. Yet, you can see that she is still hunted for the need of external approval
This show was perfect
The older John was in Knives Out and IT.
I always thought of it as similar to great Gatsby, the people who died were those pretending to be something else
I loved this finale so much. I was kinda meh on this season overall, but the finale improved it all 😅 And i love that Jim Cummings, who is a similar actor/writer/director auteur like Hader (but for low budget films) is the one who plays Barry. Such an incredible touch.
I’m gonna need a show called Fuches, where him and Barry’s son meet and uncover the truth. Sally could help Cousineau out of jail too.
The epitome of Chekhov's Gun (now should be known as Rip Torn’s Gun) 😂
I was waiting for your reaction! Great points made.
also youll notice a big difference in the death scenes between the show and the movie in the show. in the show theyre quick, dirty, sidden, and realistic. wheras in the movie it's over the top action tripe. god this show is so good
Great video dood ❤
Also the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that Fuches escaped the shoot out unharmed when he was clearly the villain of the story….he was the reason Barry became an assassin and he was the one who outed Barry to Gene…
They should make a limited run series on John. Idk what he'd be doing but I want to live in the Barry universe a bit longer.
I'd also LOVE a Fuches spin-off that shows what Fuches is doing after he left. But also cut with extended flashbacks of Barry and Fuches before they went to LA for the first time. Maybe more stuff of Fuches interacting with young Barry and the time right after Barry was discharged. Like showing how Fuches built Barry into the greatest hitman.
My head canon is that the reason Barry said, "oh, wow" was because he was thinking, "is that the Rip Torn gun?!!"
Tragicomedy is my favourite genre and this series did it right.
So many subverted expectations. The ongoing theme of the show seemed like people being unable to overcome themselves and be honest with themselves about who or what they are. The end of last season was crazy to me because it seems like Gene was the only one who finally did it.. And then he fully relapsed. Barry and Hank finally do it eventually, but it't too little WAY too late and they pay for the long ass time of denial. Fuches and Sally were the absolute LAST people i would've expected to do it, but here we are. What happened to Barry actually sent me, that shit felt like a fever dream. It's been a while since a show left me with the feeling of disbelief like that!
I will say some parts of me want season 3 the be the ending, that cold finish was SO good and I didn't even know there was meant to be a season 4 until it came out.. But DAMN. As rushed as some parts felt this season (the prison bit being so short and escape was kinda jarring, and the time skip that was a great shock but hard to adjust to at the same time, the speed of Gene's relapse after finally appearing), I think this was a great way to end it. WAY better than my pessimistic ass was expecting when I realized we got another season lmfao
Edit: I also just realized that Gene was pushed over the edge by his character assassination rather than the actual death of Janice.. I guess it was also a bit of having nothing to lose in his eyes, but if Barry turned himself in, or he let the investigation run it's course he could have gotten everything back. DAMN. His own ego got him i guess
I saw an honest to God comment talking about how Barry was redeemed in his final moments, and how glad he was that he found God in the last years of his life.
And I was ASTOUNDED at this sheer inability to comprehend what the show was doing with religion (It is not critiquing religion, but rather those who play fast and loose with it, or are in it for self-aggrandizement etc). Barry didn't find God in anyway that matters. He just picked it up cuz it made him feel good. And when it got in his way, he was quick to surf Christian podcasts for the one which would tell him that murder is cool lol
He has probably one genuine moment with God this season: When he prays for strength so he could go in and save John so that he can have a long and pious life. BUT THEN he undercuts it by talking about how he wants this so he himself can be washed of all of his sins and take his righteous place in God's kingdom. This made me laugh so much. That and the "I don't think that's God's plan for me" to Sally lol
And yeah, I don't think Barry was redeemed at the end. Seen a lot of people say this. I am glad tho that at least for ONCE he was ready to do the right thing. But even still, it took him losing his wife and child to finally come to that moment. And I love how that is precisely the moment when he is killed lol. He already wasted too many chances and opportunities for TRUE change.
I feel like people are too quick to throw the word "redemption" around. REAL redemption isn't easy or quick. It isn't just one quick little action after a lifetime of horseshit. Real redemption requires TRULY accepting responsibility and then putting in the work to be and do better. Even then one might not be redeemed in everyone else's eyes. Real redemption is messy. If there's one character who got actual redemption or a genuine shot at it... I feel like it's Sally.
She's not perfect. She is not completely okay at the end, but she is doing better. She still has some of her old ways with her. She doesn't say "I love you" back to her child. BUT from what little we saw of them... I think that there is love there between them. Given Sally's past etc... it's hard for her. What really makes me think this is the fact that despite all that praise from others about her work, she didn't buy it until she heard reassurance from her son. His opinion matters to her. Plus, there was a little interaction with a student whom she told to try again/audition next year which sounded really genuine. So she does care about her students, and is content with what she's doing.
Is she a good mom now? Maybe, maybe not. She def wasn't one in the past and she recognized that. She's def much better than she used to be. And while she is living, having accepted what she did (I think that's why she doesn't see that biker's ghost again. That scene of her in the car was absolutely set up to make the viewer think that he might pop up again)... she's got a CHANCE to BE BETTER.
Cant believe thats it, im gutted only started watching it a month ago. :( RIP Hank
Oh wow indeed
Barry's teenage son(Jaeden Martell) you probably know from It Chapter 1&2
Why did that detective let Barry escape his garage?
I think the point was that there's no throughline for who died just like real life. People don't often "get what they deserve." Life is unfair and some times the worst people get the best lives
I get gene would still kill Barry, but didn’t seem he tried hard enough to defend himself against the allegations that he killed his gf 😂
RIP Groovetube aka Damian. Livewire aka Jason probably didn't survive either. We see him alive and stuff, but being close to an explosion like that can cause internal organ injuries. So you might appear okay, but might succumb to internal wounds a lil later.
my ranking: 3, 2, 1, 4
Well, Gene did do the one criminal thing. He killed Barry,
The action throughout the show has always been steady cam and then the Movie has shaky cam for the fucken' monologue along with lense flare. LOL.
Also, John turning down a drink stating, "I don't like drinking.", since his mom got him fucked up years ago when all he ever saw of her was being fucked up.
Good finale. But I will never forgive them for dropping the intro song.
you know him from the IT movies.
the kid, i mean
2:58-4:03 Sally's redeeming moment.
4:51-5:56 Great scene between Hank and Fuches. My favorite part of the finale.
I realized we haven't seen Barry kill someone since 4x04. He came close to killing Gene but Janice's dad stopped him. He also came close to killing Hank and his men but Fuches beat him to it.
10:03-10:39 IMO the finale should have ended there followed by a cut to the Barry theme music.
My ranking of the seasons are 3, 2, 1, and 4.
You should watch next is Marvelous mrs maisel
My ranking is season 2,3,4 then 1
So Barry, Fuches, and Sally, the only ones who accepted who they are ended up with "redemption".
Meanwhile Hank fell back into denial at last second and Gene of course fucked himself even more.
EDIT: Of course we didn't see a lot of Barry "accepting" himself cuz he was fucking shot the next second, but he seemed to be on the road of recognizing it.
Barry renegged on the 'deal' he made in the car before going into Hank's building. He was ready to sacrifice, and as it turned out, John did survive and seems to be thriving as a 'good kid' so 'god' held up his end of the bargain. IMO had Barry gone through w/ turning himself in after the shoot out, he'd be in jail, but still have his family. As it was, just like Gene, Barry did a mental switcheroo, instead of doing the 'right thing', the only way to get true redemption, like Sally said, was to own up to your crimes and turn yourself in.
As soon as Barry replied he thought the way it played out WAS his redemption, 'god' came to collect in the form of a bnllet to the head
@@HaleysTusk Yeah. The problem with Barry taking the indulging path was that he was about to became his son's 'Fuches'.
I gotta be honest I expected an ending like this but I didn't like it I get that his delusions would end this way but I wanted Barry to win.
@The Rue Morgue did you read my comment I said I understand why an ending like this happened but I didn't like it I get it but I don't like it, I'm glad his family lived but I wish Barry had a different ending
he needed to die, i'm surprised fuches survived the show tho
@@iwillcry I'd be fine with it if he killed Gene at the same time
@@bigboss4993 it's much tragic for him to end up in jail.
There was no way that Hader was going to let Barry win in whatever way you mean it.
The ending just pissed me off. Amazing show with a bs ending 😡
RIP
Fuches for the win. So… how much of that scene with the guy standing behind Sally was in her head?
@@theruemorgue1048 I agree. It’s chilling that the man behind her was probably in her head.
@@theruemorgue1048 We never did see the 'damage' the truck supposedly did to the house. All we saw when Sally finally got the door open was John asleep on the couch and a trashed living room (which Sally could've done). I don't think we saw the hole in the wall after that...plus, wasn't that hole made by one wheel? No way that was a truck wheel half way up the wall, there'd be two holes. IMO the damage to the house Sally imagined was just an extension of the flashbacks where she killed the biker, I think the hole was 'made' by a motorcycle wheel, we even heard the voices repeating what the biker said about his eye while everything was going nuts.
@@HaleysTusk that’s a good point. She’s a very unreliable narrator by that point and the scene betrays very little. Does John not react because he’s passed out drunk or because nothing was happening?
