I met a spider at the bank. He didn't approve my loan, dammit.

HEY, BIPED, WHERE YOU GOIN', MAN?!!
Look at 'em, he can't even molt.

As long as we're not edible, they won't get us. Everybody get out into the sun and dehydrate, make your flesh tough and chewy.

I, for one, welcome our arachnid overlords. Us bipeds have been swaggering along for too long, I say.

Nah, tarantulas are harmless. It's the little one you gotta watch out for. Them and their NECROSIS INDUCING VENOM.

They're making great strides in web-based anti-shoe technology.

They can be two things.
DOWN WITH PATRIARCHAL WEBS!!

A spider slept with his wife.

Donald Trump is made up entirely of orange spiders.

Apparently not, and people have pointed it out that they are just a cult currying favor from Aku.

That does make more sense. Less direct influence than it is cause and effect.
Still tho, Fuck Aku.

Oh no, not the Scotsman!! Now I'm really fucking depressed. I won't hear John Dimaggio rip on Jack or talk about swords.

That depressingly makes more sense now. Well if I can't blame Aku directly, I'll blame him indirectly then.
FUCK HIM INDIRECTLY!!

That's kinda bizarre, how can he NOT be aware if his whole goal is to take over the world and kill the samurai?
Am I missing something?

That whole scene felt so tragic to me. The showed the tiniest sliver of humanity, their childish naivete. Before throwing their lives away battling Jack.

Jack basically, "Child I am tired of your brainwashed bullshit."
Drops chain.

Samurai Wolf is a good doggo for keeping Jack warm.

Lotta Frank Miller/Sin City homage goin on there. And for the record, Sin City's first story arc(The Hard Goodbye) really was the best Frank Miller ever got art wise.

Dammit, when the daughters caught site of the deer and confused him for Aku, I really felt for them. Having your whole life focused on killing someone else's enemy to the point you can't even recognize the outside world. Fuck Aku and that whole manipulative mindset.
Not taking away from a beautiful episode, just…
