So quantum computer wants to destroy mankind by watching Yaya in the loop, but she was only "exposed" to the 550W…
"MOSS" was already sentient. It was not the one who sent the first two warnings the Chinese delegates mentioned in a meeting, but it was involved in the latter ones.
The letter code in the 550 series is simply the generation of it. By retaining the "550" it hints that it is the same code, just an improved model. In other words, 550W has all the data and knowledge of its predecessors, and MOSS learned from Yaya when Yaya was first plugged into 550A. I assume here that 550A was the first sentient version of it when Yaya was plugged.
From there, when the latter 550s were released, it gained more knowledge and capabilities, and thus, was able to plan the "disasters" in its desire to understand human beings.
Like a little child.
By 550W, or "MOSS", it reached the conclusion that the current humanity cannot be trusted and has to be wiped out. -- This is the story of "The Wandering Earth 1" where MOSS finally implemented the plan to destroy Earth by plunging it to Jupiter.
You have had to watched TWE1 to understand the ending of TWE2. In TWE1 MOSS turned the Navigator ISS into an ark where all the biological and technological "fingerprints" of humanity and Earth are stored. The best way for that new generation of humanity to be pristine is to destroy Earth. And that's the only way to save humanity as a species.
Otherwise, humanity will just keep on going what it does best: politics, war, mistrust.
MOSS realised there needs to be a great reset because humanity cannot let go of its past, present, and future.
Past = national grudges Present = revenge plans and wars Future = our race/nation must be the sole superpower
A vicious cycle that we cannot deny even to this today. For example, the European Union, deep down to its core, has its fundamentals in the Roman Empire (past). In the present, the EU is being led by Germany at its core (the modern "Holy Roman Empire", like it or not). It envisions itself as the future of humanity where they are the superior race and sole superpower.
China. Its past is about the four dragons (North Sea, West, Sea, East Sea (a.k.a. East China Sea), and South Sea (a.k.a. South China Sea) + the Dragon Emperor who controls these 4 Dragons (or Seas). Its present is, well, we all know what it is doing. Its future is seeing itself in full control of all the 4 seas and restoring the power of the Dragon Emperor and a feared superpower, with the Asia-Pacific under its wings against Western influences.
People today dismiss these things as "fake news" or conspiracy theories. But in real school of thoughts, you do study the history of a nation to understand its present and why it is acting that way, and to have an idea or prediction of its aspirations for its future.
Today, people just assume China is just acting like a 6 year old kid. Not at all. Its foundation is its past, that is what's controlling it in the present, so it can achieve its future.
In the same way that the European Union (with Germany at its helm), and Russia, are doing exactly the same thing because their past is the Roman Empire (or in Russia's case, the Czars and the USSR). Which defines their respective present form, so it can achieve its aspirations for their future.
MOSS realised this. The obsession of mankind with its past, present, and future, is what is causing the endless mistrust, wars, and disunity. To the point that, we cannot even unite to save our one single planet.
This is soooo funny in Tagalog dub by Viu Philippines. Whoever did the translation knows how to translate the funny lines from the original Korean into Tagalog that makes more sense.
The dubbers were awesome too because the way one delivers the lines also affects how funny it can be.
I think it is K, and K is the same mysterious guy that Da Mi's grandfather can't touch either.
The question is, why is he pulling the strings this way. It is as if he has a lifelong grudge against the 7 and Da Mi just happened to be the perfect pressure point.
Da Mi was probably not supposed to be there. But because Mo Ne was so stupid, she inadvertently placed Da Mi in the best position for K's revenge to begin.
Da Mi went to the Teen Center which happens to be under K's control. They kidnapped her to make sure she won't foil their plans because Da Mi doesn't have any sense of strategy and planning.
K giving condolence money seems to be that it was not part of the plan. He's only after the 7, but he can't predict their moves. So, he gave condolence money.
Da Mi's adoptive father was used as a chess pawn. And to ensure he is safe, the prison is the best place for him. And he has a protector inside the prison, which is probably under K's order.
Da Mi is somewhere safe, drugged to stay under a coma. While K goes on to “punish” the 7.
Theory #2: The Teen Center is under K's control. K got interested in her because of her connections. K probably hates injustice and took on Da Mi's case.
Since the last time we saw Da Mi she said she wants them all to suffer the way they made her suffer, with all the backstabbing and blackmailing, K is doing Da Mi's request.
K, meanwhile, enjoys pulling the strings.
Da Mi's father, the best way to protect him is to keep him inside prison. Da Mi is somewhere safe. Da Mi's mother was unexpected. Or, maybe, she's alive somewhere, too.
The difference with Theory #1 is that here, K doesn't have a grudge on the 7. Instead, he is like a demon who brings justice to teen victims. The 7 is Da Mi's revenge, K is simply the judge, jury, and executor.
Someone removed him from eventually so he regenerated.In this universe, anyone with regeneration abilities can…
Not sure about the Webtoon, I haven't read it. But the idea about regeneration powers depicted this way is common, it's as if it is expected in fiction.
It's like vampire. When a movie turned a vampire into a "glittering vampire" everybody who loves vampire lore reacted badly.
It's similar with regeneration powers. The only way to kill them is to decapitate them; and if anything that is lodged inside their brain is removed, then they'll just regeneration again (as long as their head is still connected to their body of course).
As for knowing to kill them, I think it's assumed. But, it is not easy to decapitate a person who know how to fight. For example, Wolverine (even if we remove his metal bones), since he knows how to fight, it won't be easy to decapitate him.
However, and I see your point, I think for this franchise, the North Koreans and the Americans have no idea what the powers of each South Korean mutant/metahuman have.
For example, when Frank was hunting them down, some of those he killed told Frank that he'll be killed by Joo Won. They understood that it is not easy to kill Joo Won, not only because of his regeneration powers, but also because he is a seasoned fighter. Not even Jae Man can defeat him.
Also, another factor is this, no one wants to actually kill a human with regenerative abilities. You want to capture them and use them or experiment on them.
Wolverine. No one wants him dead, everyone wants him to join their faction.
In this K-drama, if the North Korean boss knew about it, he probably would have ordered them to capture him alive.
Since Frank survived, no doubt the Americans now know they need to capture, or eliminate, Joo Won first.
However, they have no idea his daughter, and her new "uncle" also have regenerative abilities.
Currently, South Korea is pretty much a powerhouse because they have 3 superhumans with regenerative abilities. You definitely want to capture them first.
Lol how did frank survived? I theorized for "that kind" of ability burning with fire would be the possible solution.…
Someone removed him from eventually so he regenerated.
In this universe, anyone with regeneration abilities can only be truly killed if they are decapitated. Otherwise, once the object stuck in their brain is removed, they'll just regenerate.
This is actually an old trope in fiction. There are other stories before this (yes, even before the Webtoon version) that used this type of regeneration rules.
They stopped functioning if the foreign object lodged in their brains are not removed. But once it's gone and their heads are still connected with their bodies, they'll regenerate again, and again, and again.
I was actually more surprised when Frank did not show up after that scene and was a bit disappointed because if he truly died that way, then he doesn't possess an equal level of regeneration, which means, he's a third or fourth generation mutant.
so the real monster was the human who mostly sat behind his desk and ordered people around.
Yep.
It's actually very meaningful because it happens in real life.
You know, the people behind the President or Prime Minister. And anyone else pulling the strings behind-the-scenes that the public have no idea about, or dismissing as conspiracy theories.
Humans are humans. Even criminals have a heart for their own parents and children. Only a pure psychopath doesn't have a heart for anyone (probably not even for themselves).
We may have political differences. We may have been, allow me to use, "brainwashed" by whatever ideology, but at the end of the day, humans will be humans.
And only the true psychopaths, the truly twisted people, like those two behind their desks, who would sacrifice their fellow human beings.
They think they're doing it for their nations, for their countrymen, but it's just a justification so they won't feel bad with their decisions. Otherwise, they'll probably get disgusted with themselves.
P.S. If anyone agrees with those two characters behind their desks in the show, I'm sorry I that disagree. I understand nationalism and patriotism, but I don't see any nationalism and patriotism in what those two did. And… kids!
Is it just me or anyone else thinks that ending was little bit meh. I mean after all all this build up and what…
Hmm, not sure. For me, it was just right because there is potential for Season 2, and ending shows on a very high note might backfire if the next season is not given the green light.
Usually, a Season that ends on a high note or cliffhanger is one wherein Season 2 was already given a go. But in K-drama land, they don't order for a new season immediately. Typically they wait until the current season ends airing.
Because of that, it's better to end it in a little toned down so as not to disappoint the viewers IF ever there won't be a new season.
Like we have so much more to cover!!! Ellias? The girl who faked her death ( cancer) like I cannot wait for the…
Exactly!
They should capitalise on the very positive feedback about the show and not let it go to waste. They should also time it well for Season 2 and avoid other shows that can potentially match them.
LOL. Good luck with their marketing and planning team. I hope they are already in the editing stage for S2.
"No" because the ending of TWE2 can only be understood if you've watched TWE1.
"Yes" because it's better to watch TWE2 first before watching TWE2.
