For context i recently started watching black mirror and accidentally watched season 4 first thinking it was season 1.
Black mirror metalhead ending reddit.
As i was watching metalhead i could not figure out the purpose of the dogs and where they came from.
The smithereens ending is fittingly bleak for black mirror but especially resonant in today s culture.
That being said metalhead is my favourite episode because it s a thriller a familiar genre.
In the big twist of white.
If all of the episodes are connected then this one is very likely at the very end of the timeline for the real world and non cookie society.
My favorite part of black mirror is how episodes build up the plots into a fantastic unexpected twist or a gut wrenching ending.
Then after watching black museum it is pointed out that all of the episodes of black mirror happened during the same time period in the same universe.
It s a post apocalyptic tale told mostly from one person s perspective.
The humans are going to get something important from the warehouse.
You may be left wondering who got shot at the end of the episode and what happened next.
Now it was directed well with a good writing although some plotholes.
Black mirror s metalhead episode is pretty straightforward.
So i wasn t aware of black mirror s story telling style.
It s a story of survival and of sheer desperation.
In addition a lot of the technology from the whole show was made by the same company.
Unless 15 million merits is a safe haven people live in or just a prison that powers some san junipero servers underground it s a bleak ending that is 100 man vs.
Once you start trying to guess how things are connected this episode is a bit too easy to figure out for viewers.
I think the black and white drives home that its a machine world now.
The reveal at the end is about the contrast between human emotion and feeling and the unfeeling unreasonable nature of the machine.
I wasn t invested in the characters because it was just them trying to survive some weaponized robots for most the episode and the ending just didn t feel.
Definitely one of the worst episodes of imho.
So important to them that they are willing to risk their lives for it.
Metalhead s lack of context totally stripped that away.
