>>52778727I believe it could win, I truly believe there's enough foundation and genuine belief in it. I hope it's not left open ended because that would just mean maintaining the current shitty status quo.
But I'm 99% sure that's what's gonna happen. They're not going to throw in something as polarizing as a canon love interest for Ash during his sendoff after over two decades, something they KNOW will leave a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. This is supposed to be enjoyable for everyone that's been along for the ride, and that would exclude some people so it won't happen.
This big farewell is too big to gamble on that so it'll get played as safe as possible, anything else would shock me right off my ass.
