The hectic plot of this one mainly focuses on Max as he desperately races to find any solution to stop Skullmaster. And the idiotic Warmonger should have seen what was coming to him after his earlier failed betrayal. His final words as Skullmaster gloats over his doom are so typical of the guardian: "Talk talk talk!" And with Virgil it's almost like he doesn't die as such, he just immediately explodes in a puff of magical energy. While by no means graphic or anything, the deaths of both Virgil and Norman are very unpleasant to see, and the first five minutes are one of the most powerful moments in the series, as poor Norman is swallowed whole by the mammoth blue spider he once dreaded from "Along came Arachnoid." But he at least goes down fighting till the bitter end and never shows any fear, so he dies admirably in that sense. It's definitely not to everyone's liking, but I personally find it perfectly satisfying. Welcome to the final ever episode, it's a real blast, and all I can say is wow, the writers really ended the series right.
