Cyberpunk Edgerunners Finale Reaction & Review | My Moon My Man | Netflix & Studio Trigger

They managed to tell such a great story in just 10 short episodes. With so little time they found the perfect balance between action, drama, comedy and a beautiful love story. The tragic ending really made it special. Even though most people obviously want a happy ending in situations like this it shouldn’t have ended any other way.

The trauma never slowed down either....

In all technicality, the happy ending is Lucy being on the moon, since she is free from Night City, which she says is a prison. Reaching dreams comes at a heavy price. And the price Lucy had to pay was David. He died so she could be free from that prison of a city.

Did you get the symbology that in the end David was Lucy's real moon of happyness so even when she achived her "dream" of going to the moon all she could think about was David... 😭

[@StealthyHipo]

The two of them were always destined for a tragic end. Of the possible options this is the better of them as far as I'm concerned. I love them and wish them nothing but happiness but when living in night city the only end for the pair of them was what happened, death for both of them, death for Lucy and David in Cyberpsychosis because he's truly lost everyone he's ever cared about, or death for David like what happened but Lucy didn't make it out and is captured by Arasaka once again. And so yeah, it's depressing as hell, and it hit you in the gut. But at least they had some happy times together, and while she's depressed and alone, at least she made it out, and in doing so made David's dream come true. Because he never cared about himself. He only ever cared about those around him, and going on after they've all been taken from him is a fate worse than death for a character like David if you ask me. At least he went out like a legend.

[@akkut3760]

that is the reason the title of the final episode is My moon My man.

[@CordovanSplotchVT]

I saw it as her being traumatized enough that she's nearing the edge of going cyberpsycho too, so she was hallucinating her memories from her Moon BD with him, like how he was hallucinating his walk to school and his mom.

[@GossgamingGG]

Fun fact, when Lucy sees David on the moon at the end of the Series, Shes seeing whats called a "Virtue". In the game 2077, its mentioned that when someone does a Brain Dance, they can save Mental Images from it, and bring it up. Like a recording. She can visually Recall David on the moon whenever she wants. Thats why Lucy is my favorite from the show. Her Dream can never come true, because she only wanted David to live on D:

[@GossgamingGG]

@@ghengis423 if you play the game Panam or Judy (I can't remember which one) is the one who explains why this is the case. She isn't "watching it" like a BD. It's literally an overlay of what she's seeing with a visual memory from a BD she's seen before (the BD of the moon).

[@LazzyVamples]

A year later so you prolly won't see this, but I want you to know that you can find David's memorial in Cyberpunk 2077 now. The epitaph says: "You didn't take me to the moon, but you were there with me."

[@robando2922]

David and V are so resistant to cyberpsychosis because they have a positive, emotional backdrop to fall on. They had friends and family which promotes a higher humanity stat from the PnP source which offsets going crazy.

[@iforgot6088]

@Social Injustice Goblin A good reason that cyberpsychosis is more common in the anime and video game than it was in the tabeltop game, is that they take place in 30-50 years after the setting for the tabletop game, depending on which edition we're talking about.

​@Social Injustice Goblin In the tabletop it describes solos as having to constantly fight their hyper tuned reflexes to not go into a murderous rampage.

I dont think she would be proud because that is not what she meant. David died from making the wrong and selfish choices one after another till the end.

[@757reaper]

The thing that kills me about this show is how a lack of communication between people who really cared for each other is basically what created a bit of a spiraling downfall; but in a way that happens to us A WHOLE lot. Like we fixate on trying to do what's best for people we care for, but we often chasing the things that matter less than our presence. She's sneaking off to protect him from Arasaka recovering data about him, so when it's a trap and she goes missing he can't know something is wrong; she knows he's chasing fulfilling a dream that isn't "his," and assumes it's Maine's, but He's so rapped up in getting her to the moon that his "life," the thing that is most important to her, is irrelevant. She was already on the (proverbial) moon... AND REBECCA DESERVED BETTER.

[@yobbusdoobbus2859]

well said bro

[@pressrepeat2000]

So true. It was all lack of communication, with the best intent. We don’t ask people what’s important to them, we just make assumptions based on tidbits of information, and they turn out to be wrong. Pretty much all drama and tragedy is like that. And much bad things that happen to people in real life.

[@scruffytlr789]

Ironically, the payout for the last job $500,000 a person. Is just enough for two one way tickets to the moon. Which is stated earlier to be $250,000.

[@ludwigvansolo1999]

@@Alex-zf3esAgreed. Was just gonna say that Edgerunners is an outstanding use of Tragedy in storytelling; only Better Call Saul, and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, as far as recent things in tv and movies, has affected me to such a heartbreaking degree

[@BlueSun_]

Fun facts: - In the bar Afterlife there are various drinks named after fallen legends of Night City. One of them is called David Martinez. It was there before the show even came out - In the latest update, various weapons from the characters of the show have been added to the game. We can see now a surging trend of people going after Adam Smasher using Rebecca’s guns. Now it is truly personal - Rebecca was almost not added to the show. When Trigger first gave the character concept to CD Projekt, they looked at her small stature and said she had a loli character design and that lolis don’t fit in the Cyberpunk world. Trigger insisted that “The loli stays!” and so she did. - In episode 6 you mentioned the detail of focusing on Lucy in the car while the action is taking place and about her survivor’s guilt. But there are more layers to it, when you have the context that the whole mess took place because of her actions. She short-circuited Tanaka to protect David. This short-circuit was what interfered with their jammer and allowed the Trauma Team to get the signal. If David had not survived after going for Maine, Lucy would’ve lost everything for nothing while sitting in that car. There are other details that make it worth it to re-watch episode 6. Like Lucy acting surprised and worried asking “What? Why?” when David says they stabilised Tanaka. This reaction only makes full sense when you have the context given later

[@j-bonkers1887]

Their insight about david was actually eye opening and really hits far too close to home. Since I too struggle with ADHD, the pressure to keep up and perform as good if not better than the rest was always an internal war that I had to deal with daily, almost like "be normal if not better or become a failure" which is emotionally not that different from "do (become) or die" Now that I've heard this, its now even more personal and painful than how I originally experienced edgerunners prior to not noticing it. The tears that were shed felt refreshing.

[@msolano00]

As someone who have ADHD too I truly feel it has only made me even better. Yes during childhood and adolescence it was pretty rough, bad grades on things that didn't interested me, zoning out REALLY easily, etc. But as an adult, I feel that dealing with ADHD has given me an incredible framework and strength to deal with work/tasks that I am truly so much better of a person than I could've ever been. I truly see it as if it gave me mental super powers.

[@SyntaxSurfer]

It'd be cool if they pull a Love Death Robots and have different animation studios work on it. I'd personally love to see some cyberpunk body horror / psychological horror to explore the fashion and culture of that world. Edgerunners did a good job at visualizing cyberpsychosis that it'd be cool to iterate more on that theme and see how it looks, beyond murdering people in glorious and explosive fashion, and show the terrifying nature of seeing someone both physically and psychologically morph into something gross and inhuman.

Kiwi did not know at the time that it was Lucy because Lucy didn't tell anyone. Kiwi found out it was Lucy at the ambush but at that time she couldn't turn back. If she had Faraday would report to arasaka that kiwi botched the plan or if she killed Faraday arasaka would know that kiwi did it either way she would be hunted by a corporation for the rest of her life. As soon as she accepted the job she was doomed to betray her friends or die. Any other action from kiwi would have resulted in her being hunted down by a corporation.

It's too bad the boss fight with Adam Smasher in the game is pathetic. I was expecting a Sekiro-style boss, but all I got was a walking and talking bullet sponge.

[@untam3dw0lf]

Has anyone else noticed that David’s eyes went from that cyber psycho state slowly back to normal when he rescued Lucy?

[@NerdyNightly]

She brought him back everytime

[@Jramssy]

“Aim high and go out with a bang.” They went in a blaze of glory. Can’t ask for more in NC

[@Brohnson]

Y’all are so wholesome. Thank you for sharing this with us. I loved the series and had not played any Cyberpunk prior to this series. It was an exceptional treat for an avid anime fan. As a solo viewer, balling in private always makes the emotional connection that much more deep. Damn do I feel for David, Lucy, Rebecca… 🥹

[@theelitebrawlersbakuganleg4224]

Love how the intro foreshadowed David's death with being shot in the head with a figure standing over him I felt such a sense of sad joy at the end of this show and it just felt amazing 😭❤️ Brains for Rebeca 💔😭💔

[@Chillautumndays]

I'm right there with you dude, finally finished this show yesterday and omg, I was tearing up throughout the whole finale and finally broke down during that moon shot of David and Lucy. Also when Becca died, she didn't deserve that, I thought she was gonna make it

[@LTUNOOBAS]

Welcome to the club ive been on copium since release, even to this day im hoping for s2 with a little bit more sweeter story no matter how slim that is

[@jayniir6711]

This show was amazingly written, with tons of action and one of the best love stories I’ve ever seen. I’ve never cried over any sort of movie or TV show until I watched the final episode of Edgerunners.

[@FeliciaWilliams1908]

I need to emotionally prepare myself. It’s been a long time since an anime stuck with me days after watching it.

[@donaldsneed8130]

Strong same. This show stuck with me afterwards too.

[@jarethliwaen5445]

You guys are beautiful people. Its refreshing to see true emotions on the internet, I never thought you'll were gross. I bawled my eyes out watching this show, and re balled my eyes out watching you all watch it here. I love the cyberpunk genre, and with the new 1.6 patch out and Edgerunners, it's got me back to playing 2077, and I may actually finish it now. I really wanna play something in this type of world with a ttrpg rule set. You guys be safe.

[@SleeplessEntity]

I'm just glad Kiwi tried to redeem herself in the end by giving her crew the location, one of my favourite characters and it's sad that she died to the same code she lived by, bit her in the end.

[@vetrais7965]

Just literally discovered you guys today after finishing watching the show myself this morning. I had heard people were recommending it, but hadn't looked too much into it to avoid spoilers. I honestly wasn't ready for the show to hit as hard as it did. It was painfully beautiful. I honestly think I enjoyed it more than Arcane just because of how unexpectedly I found myself caring for the characters. Don't get me wrong, Arcane is still very good (especially those visuals), but the characters didn't resonate the same with me as Edgerunners did. Seeing David grow into such a memorable character so fast. Seeing Lucy change as she got the feels (even stopped smoking because he didn't like it). The descent of Maine, Rebecca's tough yet caring side towards David in the last couple episodes. Everything was just beautiful. It was so quick of a show but so dense in the roller coaster it took us on.

[@DontKnow-hr5my]

It was a real pleasure watching you two go through the same feelings i went, it certainly was an incredible journey and the show hit me hard on many levels also due to it reflecting lots of things in real life. I started working out again more in earnest due to reading a sentence someone wrote of what to do to cope with the show. "Work out so you can one day get your Lucy to the moon without going cyberpsycho along the way." God bless!

[@iforgot6088]

I thought of something the other day, but didn't want to say it until you'd seen the end. During the first episode you mentioned that they didn't show how David was special to make you care about him as a character. I realized they turned it around, during the whole series they made you care about David, and during this last episode they showed why he was special. Even with all the cybernetics, and everything he went through, and the medicine that he was told would shoot him past the event horizon of cyberpsychosis, he still pulled himself together and stayed himself even at the end. Also, I heard Mike Pondsmith said that if David's mother hadn't died, or if David had been involved with Rebecca, who was constantly there for him and supportive, instead of Lucy, who was more aloof and distant, David wouldn't have ever been at risk of cyberpsychosis. So, Rebecca was, apparently, confirmed as the best girl.

[@michaelo9950]

Not sure if I have already posted this, but I really suggest watching the end credit, it tells an interesting story. I like to think of it as the aftermath of the opening, especially after the final episode. The credit song is on my playlist, it's amazing. I tear up more during this song than "I really want to stay at your house"

[@Alex-dn5ns]

Eyup, this episode is as painful as it gets. Can't wait to watch the reaction. And guys, you better watch the official video for "Let You Down" by Dawid Podsiadło, the outro song of the show. The video has a story of its own that ties in to the show!

[@Ludovit110]

Yep, it's actually a prequel.

[@mongo4525]

I always Wear Davids Jacket as V ingame, After this show i couldnt stop thinking about this depressing end, and the Musik MY GOD!

[@TheTsuryuu]

Glad you let it all out guys, personally I was thinking I wasn't going to cry but when the ost started playing with Lucy in the moon it broke me and I couldn't stop until the ending had finished. Feels good to cry sometimes though right? It was a treat watching this again with you and I hope more shows that I am interested in pop up. Until then!

[@bloomfieldyes]

Nah I fucking love your reaction, I cried with you bro... I'm so glad there's a channel's reaction to actually relate too... Love it man.

[@Forbidden_Chocolate]

david brought her to the moon but to lucy he was already the moon, the entire night sky, and all of its stars too.. well im gonna go back to crying now

[@frankrodriguez11591]

Great reaction, pretty much same as me since I actually choked up myself at the ending and it almost got me to the point of being depressed lol. Such great storytelling and the characters were so well done that you care about each and everyone of them after just 10 - 20 minute episodes. Well done to studio Trigger, you got me good..

[@kartoffelofdoom2461]

Just for Context there is a way to Cure Cyberpsychosis. Mike Pondsmith, the guy who created Cyberpunk has said that cyberpsychosis can be cured by love. It's Human connection that helps a person recover from it and love is the strongest form of connection. That is why David is this resistant, his Love for Lucy litteraly keeps him sane.

[@kornklone]

Rebecca 🥺💗 "Alright David. Let's go....To the top then...." MY HEART!!!!!

[@gmaster634]

10 episodes 20 mins each and it made millions of people feel something and in my opinion it makes it a masterpiece. Also the fight at the end was no fight it was just Adam Smasher being the Boogeyman to David and the crew, loved it.

[@julianneedsblood7091]

When you show people that you follow with your heart, then they can be given a chance to care back. N sometimes they actually do.

[@secretagentrandybeans3374]

Oh God! It’s Adam Smasher from the top rope!

[@BlueSun_]

Drop Kick! Out of NOWHERE!?

[@MastaToSch]

Adam Smashed-Her

[@darthnoxthegerman]

"What the hell did you expect?" "I don't know. I guess a better outcome for everyone involved." "For folks like us? Wrong city. Wrong people."

[@GingyKlutch]

When she said “well what now?” That hit hard lol pretty sure everyone said the same thing. The post show depression really hitting with this one. Brilliant show.

[@JuergenGDB]

I have the pleasure of being friends with Mike Pondsmith and I remember sitting down with him at a BBQ we were having and he spent like 2 hours talking about his start making Cyberpunk and the world, then how impressed he was with CDProject Red and how they created Night City... his time in Japan and what he thought of the Characters. That is basically how it is in Night City, a dystopian city filled with opportunists trying to get ahead or get out. "It's not about saving humanity, it's about saving yourself" Mike Pondsmith. Evelyn is a prime example of the Night City life. She took the opportunity to try and get out, but she failed, and in the end, paid the ultimate sacrifice... herself. A tribute song I attribute to Evelyn is from the group Cannons I heard after her ordeal was called "Holding On" It sort of fits her and Judy. Men Cry all the time brother, on the battlefield, with their family, and with the ones they love. USMC Veteran. Marines 3/3! Semper Fi.

[@JuergenGDB]

This is why I love this game, spending hours just wandering around, immersing myself in what it would be like to live in a place like Night City. good music, scenery, and lots to look at. RP'ng the game as how I would live in it... trying to save myself and make enough eddies to get out, or get that penthouse suite. Cheers! love the channel!

[@Manthathasspiderlikepowers]

Just finished it last night and I’m still crying tbh. One of the best things I’ve ever watched.

[@ctochtli2964]

I grew up seeing that kind of things in real life and I know real life Davids.

[@DrJay-iy8rv]

Castlevania: Dark but we gonna give ya happy end Arcane: we gonna make you miss us so bad Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Yeah hold my beer cuz you only gonna watch us once!!!

[@mari5london]

Your take on the show is so wholesome...To treat other people nicely sounds simple and ordinary thing but is often ignored both online and offline. I hope there are more reactors like you and one more thing to point out, I have never seen a reaction video closing with "I love you.". You both really make a lovely couple. Have a wonderful day!!!

[@RoxxSerm]

My gf doesnt see me cry often, and i ain't gonna watch this show with her again. Holy moly episode 10 really broke my dam.

[@koniredfox8640]

It’s been a week and I still can’t get over the pain this anime impaled my soul with. Not even the most memorable deaths from my fav animes and top hit animes managed to hurt me as much as Cyberpunk Edgerunners 😔

[@synergy8879]

your face when Rebecca got goomba stomped is literally everyone’s reaction there

[@DiegoGCunha]

I already finished the anime and cried... I came to watch the best react and cried again

[@flexoffender5997]

That crosswalk scene with David is the same metaphor they use with Maine and the end of the road symbolization. It's done quicker here and much more brash, but it's the same thing.

[@User-jp1sj]

I Really Want To Stay At Your House is at number 81 on the US Spotify 200 now so don't be surprised if it eventually makes it high enough on that chart to be added to the radio

[@Varrizwatches]

You know I was half expecting her to take off her helmet as she "basked" in the sun. Glad she at least made it with Falco

[@GodzillaSpartan-0037]

I just finished and im crying on the floor right now

[@NerdyNightly]

Same friend, it'll be okay.

[@f1etcher690]

I can point the exact moment their hearts had shattered :DDD

[@geraldthegoose1685]

Don't worry David someone else will take up the mantle and defeat Adam Smasher

[@NerdyNightly]

Yeah. Me, over and over in every way possible

[@geraldthegoose1685]

@@NerdyNightly with Rebecca's gun of course

[@personanongrata2663]

My guy understands... Felt the same. Cried like there's no tomorrow...

[@viisovari4544]

In the last scene where Lucy was standing on the moon. She didn’t remember how David died, but rather how he lived.

[@メロンパル]

いっぱい泣いてくれてありがとう。国は違うけれど、同じアニメで共感できたことに、感謝します。

[@SethWTFF]

They do so much with so little, it's so impactful how much you care about these characters in 10 short episodes. This show is an absolute masterclass

[@ignat9696]

Блять, как же приятно, когда эмоции разных людей из разных стран, с разным менталитетом совпадают.

[@NaZHor4iK]

Особенно когда смотришь на рыдающего бородача и думаешь: о, да это же я.
