Summary

  • Shortly after Apple TV+ cancelled Mythic Quest: Raven’sBanner, the streaming platform has reedited the series finale, ‘Heaven and Hell’, to offer viewers a closure to the story, however, the revised episode has resulted in Apple removing the original finale from the platform entirely.
  • The updated version attempts to answer some of the series’ biggest cliffhangers, however, many fans are concerned that this re-editing is a bad trend among streaming services, that could set a precedent for other series with ambiguous endings.
  • Some viewers have drawn comparisons to Netflix’s Black Mirror opting to re-edit its season 5 finale, “Striking Vipers,” for its recent re-release, however, in that case it was to remove Kamau Gbjenya’s cameo due to the Babylon episode leaching controversy.
  • Fast Company suggests that Apple’s edits are an attempt to “direct viewers toward Mythic Quest’s proper ending” despite the original ending being appropriately open-ended for a potential fifth season.
