For the users wondering if this whole ego thing is over since the game is over, I thought I’d give my two cents (besides Reverse asked me haha):
1. Though it might be an intriguing move as a writer for Sean to wait to continue this, it would be a bad one. We know that Sean has tours and limited time, but this changes EVERYTHING about the “universe” we are watching. This changes EVERYTHING about “Jack”. It would be a terrible move to end it here and pretend nothing happenes. That would negate the momentous significance of what just happened.
2. He’s left us with questions before, but never like this. This answered nothing. This wasn’t a chapter closing, this was the beginning of a chapter. The Egos have been trying to get Jack to remember. He did. But what’s the point of all of that happening if there’s no follow up? Why do all of this if he isn’t going to explore what this leads to?
3. There was no big end. When things like this happen, it’s been with Anti. And what happens when Anti ends a video? Black screen, a voice, and a threat. In “Say Goodbye” it was just that. In KJSE it was “see you soon”. With this? This hasn’t ended. He remembers. “I remember what he did to me.” Okay, but now what? Why do we care? We don’t care unless we care about what happens next, and the care for what happens next is why this hasn’t ended yet. That is almost more important than what just happened.
4. In a meta sense, there’s been no conclusion. Sean is clearly not worried about interfering with the universe. He’s doing live streams, Tumblr spams, tweeting like normal. This has never happened before when something with the Egos happens. It’s dead silence. Cryptic clues. But it always ends with a vlog where he explains what happened. After “Say Goodbye”, after KJSE, even after Pax. He explained everything that day, or as soon as he could get to it. It may be too early to call this one, but I don’t see him spouting an explanation in this live stream, and what better time to do so? He’s discussed Ego activity in streams before.
5. The momentum. Jack is a master of controlling the community’s energy. He has had years to practice how to control us and pull us along, and has gotten very good at it. Just look at Overnight Watch. He even pulled in others to help him, and clearly gave them instructions on exactly how to mess with us (since PJ was involved and no one said anything about it during the charity drive). He knows what he’s doing. And he has to know better than to leave us now.
6. The mask in the live stream. And as far as I know, he hasn’t breathed a word about this whole thing. This cheek is still messing with us. This isn’t over. Not even close.
(Just my opinion. You can disagree of you’d like. ♡)
I gotta say, I agree with my girl here! If this is all we get for now, I’m perfectly content to wait it out, but he’s still up to something. So I wouldn’t be surprised if we aren’t quite out of the woods yet!
