My personal view was that Max had had enough of being told she was responsible for wrecking time and reality, and decided that whatever happened, she was not going to let her partner die. The power of love can make people do things that others would deem reckless, selfish or downright evil. I thought it an interesting dilemma about how we recognise ‘destiny’ and ‘inevitability’ as well as being responsible for our actions. Out of the two endings, it’s obvious which one is supposed to be canon considering it goes for a lot longer and has a lot more detail put into it. Maybe this was done intentionally since “all max’s” are supposed to be different but it still irked me how calm her voice sounded at parts where she’s either in extreme danger or the world is literally being torn apart around her. Even when you threaten characters in this episode she just sounds like a blank canvas when the voice actor reads out her lines. Considering she has power of time and space you think she could be a bit more assertive or tough sounding when talking to characters. I also agree that the most disappointing thing about Life is Strange is Max’s character.

I was like woah… I’m glad it didn’t go fully dark (like show someone being raped or tortured) but it danced around it in a respectful way that is rarely seen in video games these days.

A few minutes in to the game and Jefferson said the C word. I liked the fact that it went to dark places. Yeah the last episode was extremely satisfying and enjoyable.
