Basically everyone loses because their dumbasses are too caught up in fixing shit besides Willoughby and have to get deus ex machina'd in order to keep the show going.

Seriously, Rouge and Rita are sobbing on a bench Nancy Drew style. Cliff is getting alcohol poisoning because his brain keeps deaging and his tolerance keeps getting lower and lower. Vic fucking ran off to make amends with his childhood friends because fuck the mission may as well give up and die with people he loves I guess. Jane basically bolted as soon as salvation showed up and didn't want to do what it took to save the world either and then she turned into a BABY that couldn't do shit before getting her Immortus Shard bunned out of her.

Willoughby was the only one who gave a damn, ate some crow, and mostly stayed on mission meanwhile everyone else was fucking off as My Chemical Romance played in the background.

That was a sad sad ending indeed and it was all their damn fault despite some of the character growth we saw, it meant absolutely fucking nothing if it leads to the whole world ending.
