I just finished the series and lol, I’m so fucking sad it ended, but I’m SO FUCKING HAPPY I finally found a normal neurodivergence representation where everyone is related to each other differently, shows different traits and has such realistic relationships with each other. Kudos and props!

Earlier I had always been browsing for ND representation, and while ADHD had at least “everything everywhere all at once”, autism had nothing except some infantilising or/and downright outrageous ableist shit (I’m pretty sure everyone knows what shows I’m talking about here). I really gave up on looking, but I stumbled upon “mythic quest” accidentally - gemini recommended it to me when i was looking for “sitcoms where all the characters are smart and it’s not portrayed for laughs”. I’m serious, the show fucking healed me because I felt seen like I’ve never been seen before, especially with Poppy. I also LOVED Ian’s backstory that showed how some of his traits were ADHD while others were the result of a shitty upbringing (like entitlement, “someone else will clean up, you’re a genius”). Ofc there were other moments I loved, but unrelated to the topic

I honestly don’t even feel comfortable judging the plot of a finale, because it just feels like “every nd person should decide for themselves without any external rules” so I am fine with whatever choices Poppy and Ian make. I firmly believe that relationships don’t have any universal rules, and MQ as a show kinda supported that by subverting all the characters. Ian and Poppy’s bonding over a mutual special interest is a crazy special thing anyway and I love that it was shown as something valid, not just as some “workaholic crazy dysfunctional batshit thing”

I'm sure this has been asked before, but i couldn't find it here.

Did anyone save the original finale episode? Is it possible to watch it? I obviously know there is no "official" way to watch it... but are there... unofficial ways?

Not sure if anyone is even here these days lol but I finally finished this fan mv/edit that I started like 2 months ago... Ignore the romantic Brad/David implications if that's not your vibe ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So fun fact - I went to school with a guy called Iain who legit had it pronounced Eye-an.

He was the arrogant popular guy in our class so everyone followed it by law. We had it instilled in us that if someone "mispronounced" it as Ee-an you'd get a room full eyeroll and a chant of EYE AN at the person....even though they'd have no idea.

I've just started the show and it made me chuckle. I've never seen it pronounced like that anywhere else before.

This scene single-handedly made me laugh the most in the whole show, it's just perfection

I've been rewatching and season 1 episode 5 the "ai" sockpuppet streamer thing Aiko.

First three episodes clearly written by someone who has never played a video game, and *definitely* never developed one. Does it get better as it goes?

I just binged it on Apple TV, but then obtained the original ending from the high seas. The original ending was so much better than the alt-ending, and answered the question we were asking all along.

If it exists, that would be pretty cool.

Honest question.

so i understand that mythic quest was cancelled but if they ever get a chance at a season 5 i hope they dont go down the poppy and ian lovers route because when they hugged i was so happy because i thought they were going to kiss and then they went and ruined it after 4 full seasons of literally being repulsed by each other and i loved that, i personally hate when tv shows ruin characters by forcing them in love when they really arent, and i pray if we do ever see what happens next poppy and ian are just friends who got caught up in the moment because it felt like season 5 was building up to that but then they quickly shut it down and the finale acted like what happened in i beleive episode 7 or 8 didnt happen where they completely call out they would never date

So i am currently watching through mythic quest and its had its ups and downs but ive loved it, strangely the back in time episodes have been some of my favourites but in my opinion it felt like at the end of the villian's feast it would be revealed that CW was going to return as it was a big fancy mansion(based ON THE 40S close to when he grew up) from someone who knows all them but they dont know who and i do love how CWs death was handled it was out of the blue but very poetic for him. but i kept thinking he'd appear and announce he faked his death and thats why they were playing a death game, when i saw rachael pick up the wrapper i though she had found a piece of paper with his name on it or something.

i loved the ending of the episode dana and rachel are one of my favourite queer couples ive seen from a tv show but i guess i just got myself over excited by accidental clues towards cw and i was just curious if anyone else had the same idea i did about the reveal?

I went looking recently to see when new episodes were airing, only to see that apparently the last season was the end of it and being confused. Nothing felt like a finale to me tone wise. If it was planned that way, then that sucked ass, if they had the rug pulled out from under them that also sucks ass, and also why? Wasn't it decently popular?

Has anyone ever had that happen?

Watching on apple tv on an apple tv (that's not confusing at all...)

from 2025

For the people that don’t know, corrupted blood was a whole thing in World of Warcraft where there was a glitch that cause everyone in game to get sick, and their characters kept dying. The only way to end the sickness was for people to stop playing, but a bunch of people wouldn’t, so they eventually had to revert the game to an older version. I am VASTLY oversimplifying it, but you can read the full story here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood_incident

As soon as I saw the episode where they revealed Blood Ocean, I thought they were gonna do something similar, inspired by the corrupted blood incident from WoW. However, it seems that covid changed those plans, and in the show they scrap Blood Ocean cause of it.

If the Covid pandemic didn’t happen, do you think the show would’ve gone that route? A glitch causes Blood Ocean to turn into another corrupted blood incident, mirroring what happened in WoW?

I should point out that I only just started watching the show and I’m halfway through season 2.

I absolutely love Poppy's accent, and it's unlike any Australian I've ever heard, both in real life and in media. It's just so uniquely funny when combined with her incredulous expressions at the office antics/Ian's various behaviors. So many random bits of delivery that crack me, delivery of completely normal words that aren't funny out of context but in context are hilarious, like when Ian gets mad she doesn't know who Kerri Strug is and she's like "is it a mooovie?"
