Solar Opposites Season 6 Review: Going Out on a High

by

The animated series *Solar Opposites* is concluding with its sixth season on Hulu, and it’s clear the creators wanted to deliver a strong finale. The show’s production faced challenges midway through its run when one of its creators was let go. This required the team to revise their plans and even recast a main character, and the effects of those changes have been visible in recent episodes.

Solar Opposites was a cartoon known for remembering past events and making big changes to its storyline each season. The show built a complex story over its first three seasons, and everything is coming to a climax in the final episodes. The creators wanted to end the show on their own terms, and Season 6 proves they were dedicated to making a strong and impactful conclusion. They didn’t hold back when bringing the story to a close.

Solar Opposites Cares About Its Ending

You can definitely enjoy the new season of *Solar Opposites* even if you haven’t watched the previous ones. While it’s easy to jump in at any point, you’ll get more out of it if you’ve seen what happened before. The show builds on past events, with characters referencing earlier storylines and jokes referencing old ideas. Having that background knowledge will make the final season especially impactful, as it brings a sense of closure to the series.

Similar to past seasons, *Solar Opposites* starts this season with the Opposites facing a new challenge: they’re much poorer than usual. This isn’t just a plot device to explain their previous ease, but also sets a limit on the over-the-top antics they used to pull off. This limitation actually sparks some clever solutions and provides a consistent thread throughout the season’s episodes. While the show has shaken things up before, this time the change isn’t about a big shift in the world or the characters themselves that needs to be resolved by the season’s end.

What I really love about this final season is how it lets each of the characters breathe and grow. It’s not just random craziness anymore – each member of the family gets a really clear arc. We see Korvo wrestling with the whole purpose of their mission and how it clashes with his life here, Terry’s desperately searching for a way to express himself, Yumyulack is finally taking a stand against the Wall, and Jessie is figuring out what *she* wants. It’s great because even with all the wild stuff happening, there’s still a strong emotional core that keeps everything grounded and makes you really care about what happens to them.

At its heart, *Solar Opposites* truly cares about its characters and viewers. This is particularly noticeable since Dan Stevens began voicing Korvo. The show has shifted to focus more on the family’s dynamics and relationships, rather than just the outlandish sci-fi gadgets. The creators clearly value this emotional core as much as the fans do, making each episode of the final season feel especially satisfying as everything comes together.

Solar Opposites Season 6 Is On a Bigger Scale

The final season of *Solar Opposites* is bigger in every way. The Opposites are broke, which leads to some really funny attempts to earn money. These adventures revisit past events and tie up loose ends from earlier seasons. We’ll also see much more of the Wall subplot, which has become a significant part of the show. This increased focus on the Wall might not appeal to all viewers, as it’s been expanding throughout the series.

What started as a single episode in *Solar Opposites*, showing the tiny people living inside Yumyulack’s bedroom wall, has become a surprisingly complex story over the seasons. This final season brings back Alfred Molina as the Duke, adding another layer to the already intricate plot. However, this season focuses on a single main villain for the Wall’s inhabitants to overcome, which makes for a satisfying conclusion to this long-running storyline.

One minor issue with this final season is how much focus is given to the Wall. While some episodes still center on the main characters’ storylines, the usual time dedicated to secondary plots is often used for updates about the Wall. This doesn’t significantly diminish the season’s impact, especially as everything comes together at the end, but it’s a noticeable shift from the balance of earlier seasons.

The Silver Cops storyline suffers from the same problem as other side plots. Initially presented as a lighthearted diversion, similar to the Wall saga, it received dedicated episodes. However, with the final season already managing so many plot threads, the Silver Cops didn’t get the development it needed. While the show tries to incorporate it alongside the main story – and the eventual payoff is satisfying – it doesn’t receive nearly as much focus as storylines like the Wall or the Opposites.

It’s a good problem to have, but with the final season of *Solar Opposites*, you just wish there was more! That’s typical of any show you really enjoy – it’s sad when it ends. The creators clearly put a lot of thought into the finale, which makes saying goodbye even harder. It’s a satisfying conclusion that reminds you what you loved about the show, and it’s a shame there won’t be any new episodes. Thankfully, *Solar Opposites* finished strong, capping off a really great series.
