just so you know, the reason they all get wounds that they unrealistically survive is because a person that has a strong will to live in the real world keeps on living in the borderlands
49:20 The borderlands is the border between life and death. It's basically them fighting for their lives, and those who have the strongest will to survive lives. That's also the reason why there were unrealistic wounds, but they still manage to live.
you guys actually predicted the premise of the show as your will to survive is how you survive the games/borderlands. guess yall forgot lol
Akane said many times that she would survive no matter what, while Ann expressed giving up at beginning of S2 E7. Because of that, Akane is very hard to kill, while Ann almost died. This is a matter of will power.
I don't even want to watch your reaction after seeing these comments saying you didn't understand the show... I remember commenting early on that there is a reason for the plot armor and these episodes gave you the answer. Will to live. That's the answer. That's why some characters die more easily than others. The burned evil guy was sick and spitting up blood the entire season but his will to live was so strong he survived. I love this show so much and can't wait for season 3!!!
Tara you were so tired for this episode. I hope you guys understood that the reason some characters seemed to never die or had plot armor was because they had a strong will to live, they were fighting hard for their life. So once I saw the end, everything seemed to make more sense. Certain things that seemed unrealistic now make total sense, because the borderlands was all in purgatory/borderlands a place between life and death, where you fight for your life. After listening to your commentary at the end Tara, you are forgetting....it HAD happened before the finale. Remember Niragi being lit on fire? Remember Aguni running at Niragi in the beach house getting shot multiple times to take out Niragi??? But they seemed to keep staying alive and coming back everytime. It wasn't just the finale. People have been living through things where they should have died multiple times in the series.
I love that you guys were against Chishiya in the first season and in the second season he became your favorite. Most of us went through that cycle. He was the perfect Cheshire Cat. The last scene with him in the bar is a reward to say a final goodbye to his friends.
22:36 Its a will to live. That's why it's an unbelievable plot armor in episode 7 was explained in finale, it's their will to survive.
They were all gone for 1 minute and those who survived the games and chose to "come back" woke up in the hospital. Simple.
