Did you feel like the ending was conclusive? Like it was obvious they’d failed, and that they were getting shipped out, but maybe not as soldiers? I can’t imagine a more explicit edit of the available material, but I’d like to know if it at least feels up to a good standard.
Yeah, it serves well enough as a conclusion to the opening act, and the farewell between Hevy and 99 is enough to make it bittersweet rather than downright depressing. I wish there was a way to convey more explicitly than they are going to serve as glorified security force rather than not be a part of the army altogether, though granted there’s no further available footage so I’m fine with they way it stands now.
