And...forget about season 5, this is a theory based on supposed original intentions by Genddy.
Now, the guardian has stated that he is eons old and that he has protected the portal for a very long time. But, in fact, this is fake. The guardian is based on Morpheus, who created a false prophecy for the hero.
Furthemore, his sword is EXACTLY IDENTICAL to Jack's. His fighting style has matched the samurai's effortlessly and he is also aware that Jack is going to use the portal SOMEDAY.
In the IDW comics, the idea of ageless Jack was never there and we are presented with a Jack who decided to stay in the future and become king, so to fix Aku's doing...in the future.
Who is the Guardian then?
Easy:

Jack trained the kids who named him after the final battle was over.
The guardian is:
Brobot, the blue kid in the middle.
He also shares voice actor, fact that supports my theory.
Therefore, this is the order of events regarding the canonicity of this theory:
-Jack decides to stay and lead a rebellion against Aku.
-Beats the guardian and this confesses his real identity.
-Looks for the trio of kids and trains them for years. Picks Brobot to be sent to a point where he would guard the portal from anyone including young samurai jack. So, Jacks actually uses the portal, but just on Brobot.
-King Jack brings justice to the future and trusts his student to prevent his younger self from screwing with that storyline.
Pretty much it.
And why did I get to this conclusion?
- Tartakovsky has already done this in the Dexter movie where it was revealed all the protagonists were trapped within a timeloop. It was not farfetched to think Genndy seeked to improve this kind of storytelling as the Dexter's movie got bad reviews when it premiered.
- This is the reason why the guardian was discarted in season 5 and why Jack was featured as an inmortal individual, it just got retconned, avoiding a totally different ending.
Anakin was killed when Maul ran him over with his land speeder. Now Palps has to settle for Dooku. Can he still overthrow the Republic or will he be discovered by Obi-Wan and the Jedi. Use both Canon and Legends
R1: Palpatine has Dooku, Grievous, Jango Fett, and Asajj Ventress at his disposal
R2: In place of Anakin, Qui-Gon Jinn survives his fight with Maul, who is (assumed) dead.
R3: Seeking retribution against the Jedi, Maul and Savage Opress go to Palpatine for acceptance into his coming Empire as Agents of the Sith.
Bonus: Anakin lives but in order to contain his potential, no one is aware that he is the Chosen One (ignore Force shenanigans like sensing him, he's a completely regular Jedi to force sensitives). Anakin can go on to his roles in the Clone Wars but is ignored by Palpatines as anything but a Jedi.
I've been looking for a book from my childhood for a long time now. It was young adult fantasy, pretty thick for me at the time (probably 300-400 pages). It looked like it was published recently when I received it as a gift in the early 2000s.
I remember the beginning of the book being about an older wizard with his apprentice, a young boy who was learning magic by mending broken pottery. The cover was orange-ish with a classic fantasy illustration of a dragon in the distance, if I remember correctly.
Does anyone else remember this book? Would love to be able to find it again.
I don't remember much cause this was like back in middle school but here it goes. I know it had no profanity or graphic violence. I think the book started out with the young boy at a man's shop or house maybe. He was helping him but the man was very rude. I remember the boy somehow ends up traveling, wich was a hard trip. and maybe got robbed? He had a travel person who I think was a grown man who was rude ( don't think it was the shop owner), I think the man was was taking the boy protagonist to his house. The boy met a women who was nice who I believe was his travel buddy's wife. He somehow ends up working at a theatre wich I believe was either partially run, or was in competition with Shakespeare. I do think Shakespeare was alive or at least still very relevant at the time. He makes some friends while while working at the theater one of wich is a girl pretending to be a boy wich is revealed later in the book, I think after someone acedentally or on purpose stabbed her with a lance wile rehearsing. At the end of the book I believe she moves somewhere else to fulfil her acting career. That's about it, if you need clarification on anything ask me and I'll try my best, thanks.
Lol, just had one guy give me general life, financial, family, & personal relationship advice throughout the day today.
