Netflix tubes are available in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They can be real crime thrillers, high concept dramas or some of the most popular reality TV programs. But, a specific is reproduced in the most appreciated emissions, however: large swings when leaving, or rather when Netflix tells them that it is time to conclude things. In the case of “The Exter Banks”, the fact that JJ Maybank by Rudy Pankow dies at the end of season 4 certainly qualifies as one of the above -mentioned “big swings”. The creators of the series “The exter Banks'” explained why the decision was made, and they chose to kill one of their most popular characters to provoke a visceral reaction. This worked, as evidenced by the outcry, such a publicized death was necessarily to be produced.
During Four Seasons, fans of “The Exter Banks” had grown up to find the character of Pankow, JJ Maybank, as one of the most sympathetic members of the whole whole, and his death twists the knife. Maybank was the beating heart of the Pogues of “The Oourre Banks”, the “oppressed” children on the south side of the island of Kildare, in North Carolina. They are constantly arguing with the Kooks who, as you can imagine, are on the other side of the slopes. Maybank was simply crucial in the search for our protagonists for a great score that will bring them a better future than their modest beginnings earlier in the series.
Pankow’s dramatic release was a wild turn for fans of “The Exter Banks”, but the creative team behind the Hit of Netflix knew that JJ Maybank would not be there to see the end of this trip. John Pate, Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke made the fateful decision once they knew that season 5 would be their last. There is no resentment between Pankow and the creators due to the decision, and he was informed in advance with the rest of the distribution. A bunch of really fun and touching videos of the actors “say goodbye” to their friend after the episodes hit Netflix made the fans more emotional. “The outdoor banks” are started for a season 5 of Dynamite and the noble sacrifice of Maybank is a great reason why, but it was always a bet to float the idea of a beloved character and an ascending actor biting the dust in such overwhelmingly (looking at Eddie Munson).
JJ Maybank from Rudy Pankow left Netflix outdoor banks because the creators needed a shocking end in season 4
To make up for you, JJ Maybank is put in an impossible situation when he and the Pogues go to find the blue crown, a treasure with serious implications for the rest of the series. The mercenaries intercept Maybank and her interesting love Kiara as they try to get away with the blue crown. In a moment of nobility, the boy abandoned the blue crown in exchange for the security of Kiara, and unfortunately for our hero, he mercilessly stabbed in the back despite the honor on his side of the agreement. It is tearing for people who look at home, and the creators know it.
The team of “The Exter Banks”, Josh Pate, Shannon Burke and Jonas Pate, told Tudum that this shocking moment was still in preparation. “It was a really difficult decision because it is such a big piece of the whole,” said Josh Pate. “This is preparing the way for a fifth and last epic season. We are planning a story of redemption, and a season that embodies the friendship that JJ had come to represent … The death of JJ was a difficult but necessary piece of the architecture of history, and we plan to honor this as much as we can because we love the character that fans.
Outdoor banks have survived many long -standing Netflix emissions and that means that something drastic had to happen
Netflix fans are well aware of the meta-narrative surrounding the streamer at this stage, mainly that the vast majority of the original content is intended for around two seasons at most before being canceled without ceremonies. But, for a few lucky shows, such as “external banks”, there is life beyond a final of season 2. In order to keep the public hanging, there must be something to make them come back, and swing the carrot of an unresolved drama as a surprise death corresponds to this bill. Unfortunately for viewers, the types of shocking developments on television which really stimulate this visceral reaction are often betrayed betrayals and deaths, which constitute some of the most emblematic moments of the last 30 years of the television landscape. You can think of countless examples of double crosses, steep purposes and alliances that return the whole series with the broadcast of a single episode (and then you can pass “lost” and in another television.)
In the current state of things, the creative team of “The Exter Banks” owes Rudy Pankow a gratitude debt, with a large part of the success of the series linked to its performance and its enthusiasm for the equipment. Now, their Netflix series can be released on a high note, instead of being unresolved as so many better programs that have gone through the viewers’ surveillance lists. “OBX” fans like a good mystery, and you don’t mind being subjected to a little suspense to make a good measure. Although it is not the most original narrative tactic of the book, killing the favorite characters of the fans always does the work, and Rudy Pankow, somber, abandoned his most well -known role to help his friends at a time of need, and what could be more like JJ than that?
