Major discoveries regarding John’s background and a future event that will certainly bring the milkman back into conflict are made at the end of the first season. Here is all the information you require regarding the conclusion of the first season of “Twisted Metal” if you are concerned about John’s destiny. Spoilers follow!
Twisted Metal Recap
In a bleak future, a mystery event destroyed digital technology, causing society to collapse. The entire planet changed into a series of walled-off cities with criminals left outside. Insiders are those who live in cities, whereas Outsiders struggle to survive and use whatever resources are available. John Doe is a chatty milkman with amnesia who makes supply runs between the cities in these post-apocalyptic wastelands, delivering parcels. John is hired by Raven, the COO of New San Francisco, for a perilous mission. In ten days, John needs to pick up a box from New Chicago and bring it to Raven. Raven promises John a home in the city and a content retirement in return.
John agrees to the task and starts working to make the delivery. Agent Stone, a police officer who patrols the checkpoints near the dam and feels it is his duty to uphold justice in the harsh and unequal streets, attacks a teenage vehicle thief and her brother Adrian in the meantime. Adrian’s sister, who runs into John, is murdered by Agent Stone and given a brand. When the thief remains silent, John gives her the nickname “Quiet,” and they are quickly apprehended by Sweet Tooth, a clown serial killer who lusts after fan adoration. By attending Sweet Tooth’s performance and giving an objective critique, John and Quiet manage to save their own lives.
After finishing a supply run for Granny Dredd, who oversees a convoy of trucks that is continuously moving, John and Quiet begin to get along on the road despite their ongoing arguments. While John and Quiet keep overcoming challenges, Quiet is driven by retaliation because she wants to kill Agent Stone for the loss of her brother. When Quiet and her brother attempted to reach a city, they were captured and sold into slavery, according to flashbacks. John, on the other hand, was about eleven years old when he suddenly lost memory of his identity and woke up in a car. Finally, John convinces Quiet to abandon her quest for vengeance and finish the delivery with him in order to obtain a place in the city and retire to a peaceful life. John abandons Quiet to preserve his beloved automobile, though, as the Holy Men steal it.
Twisted Metal Ending: Do John and Quiet Complete the Delivery?
In the climax, John and Quiet make up after being separated and race against time to deliver the package. On the way to New San Francisco, however, Agent Stone is in charge of various checkpoints. As a result, John and Quiet will have a difficult time finishing their mission. Watts and Amber, who take over Granny’s convoy, lend the group a hand. They take John and Quiet to a breach in Agent Stone’s defences, which opens up a bypass. Agent Stone’s forces attack John and his allies after realising the plan was a trap. Also attending the demolition derby is Sweet Tooth, whose fan club was murdered by Agent Stone.
In the end, John and Quiet manage to escape the devastation of the vehicular conflict. However, Quiet makes the decision to terminate Agent Stone’s oppression. Agent Stone is overthrown by John and Quiet, who give him the option of dying from his wounds or committing suicide. While John and Quiet are on their way to New San Francisco to finish the delivery just in time, Agent Stone shoots himself. However, Raven claims that her previous agreement with John solely pertains to him and declines to let Quiet enter the city. While she embarks on a new journey, Quiet forces John to accept his award and retire in the city. In the last minutes, Raven’s true intentions for recruiting John are made clear, along with the truth about John’s past.
What Is Inside the Package? What Is John’s New Job?
After starting again in New San Francisco, John soon grows weary of the monotonous city life. John put his life in danger in exchange for the top-secret ice cream package, it is disclosed in the meantime. Raven clarifies that it was actually a test to gauge John’s abilities. Raven leads John to a house when he decides to escape the city in search of Quiet. She tells that John was born there and lived there until the autumn with his family. She also offers him pictures that help John remember things.
If John stays in the city and accepts his new position, Raven will give him information about his history. When John declines the offer, Raven coerces him into accepting by threatening him. The task Raven gave John was really a trial run for a far bigger event, according to Raven. While getting Raven’s parcel, John had a brief encounter with the enigmatic Calypso, who is in charge of the competition. Some of the most skilled drivers will compete in the lethal and destructive vehicular warfare event. In addition, one of the winner’s desires will be honoured unconditionally. Raven requests that John compete for her city in the competition.
The episode’s montage ending also depicts Calypso setting up a bracket of competitors for a tournament. Along with others, it has images of Watts/Twister, The Preacher, and Mary, John’s ex-girlfriend. As a result, the first season begins by departing from video game canon. It only has one lengthy vehicular battle segment that is similar to the demolition derby format of the games. However, the series ends in a way that is consistent with its inspiration. The tournament’s mastermind, Calypso, is revealed to be a scary and ominous figure who has been working behind the scenes. The first season of the show has a largely realistic tone, but Calypso’s introduction raises the possibility that the second season would embrace the surreal and extravagant aspects of the video game brand.
What Happens to Quiet? Who Does She Meet?
At the city’s entrance, Quiet leaves John and departs on her own. challenges the repressive system that the cities have built in a quiet manner by adopting the vulture persona. She moves through checkpoints, attacking Milkmen who are transporting supplies between cities. Resources are quietly stolen from them and given to the destitute Outsiders. John discovers that up until the time of his amnesia, which was brought on by a vehicle accident in the Autumn, he resided with his family, which also included a younger sister. In the next Calypso tournament, John is offered and then pressured to take his new position as a driver.
The vehicle John and Quiet built on the convoy and used to finish their delivery route, “Roadkill,” is utilised by Quiet to carry out her cause. The sudden appearance of a mystery young woman dressed in a doll mask, however, ends Quiet. She is surrounded by a throng of identically attired women. The woman inquires about her brother’s location in the final scene before admitting she is referring to John. Dollface, one of the most terrifying and recognisable characters from the video game franchise, is thus introduced in the film’s last sequence. However, the series dramatically changes Dollface’s past by connecting it to John.
Additionally, it reveals John’s true identity because he might not be an original character. Instead, the conclusion strongly suggests that John might be a reincarnation of Marcus Kane, the Roadkill’s driver from the games and one of the most significant figures in the original work. However, the climactic moments also created a rivalry between Quiet and Dollface that might result in the former’s participation in the future tournament, bringing Quiet and John back together. Last but not least, the post-credits scene reveals that Agent Stone’s demolition derby didn’t kill Sweet Tooth, and that the game’s mascot will likely return for a second season.
