    Imagine how much wrath Victim must feel.
    He’s been traumatized for years, trying to forget the pain that was inflicted on him, only for it all, after 4 years to be taken away. And then he finds out the thing responsible is nothing more than a clone of him. A clone who was actually given tools to be powerful. To not be a victim. A tool that, from his perspective, was designed SPECIFICALLY by his creator to come fetch Victim back and continue to make his life HELL.
    There are no words to describe how much hate Victim must be feeling towards Alan and TCO right now.

    The main theme of this episode is that "your actions have consequences".
    Alan learned to stop torturing the stick figures and the Chosen One realized that his internet rampage was wrong, but that will not stop victim from having a genuine desire for revenge.

  • @blizzdawiz6261

    I fully respect the fact that Alan goes through with the narrative that he was a villain/abuser to sentient/sapient stickmen for "a long time" in total even after redeeming himself.
    It can be very easy to portray yourself as a benevolent figure in your own story, but Alan retroactively added more crimes on his list for the sake of the story and the explanations.
    Not only that, but the effort to create natural consequences and motivations for the actions of Alan, Victim, TCO, and TDL in a non-verbal story is impressive as ever.

    Some notable things.
    1. As time passed while he was with Alan, the movemens of Victim became more and more complicated. On top of the senseless violence, Alan was actively learning and practicing animating sticks. This is the reason the others can fight and jump around. Victim's suffering was all so they could move better.
    2. Notably, Victim didn't take the cursor-shaped art tools. If anything, I think it's because he couldn't even bear to touch those.

    (Updated) Lore update(I'll consider release date of each episodes as the time these events took place):
    2006 - Victim was created, tortured for months.
    2007 - Victim escaped, The Chosen One was created and then later trapped by anti-virus.
    2011 - The Chosen One escaped, The Dark Lord was created to destroy The Chosen One but later teamed up with him. Destroyed Alan's pc and invaded the internet. This was when Victim celeberated his 4 years anniversary after Rocket Corp. Everyone disintegrated, Mitsi died. The Chosen One also started to realize his wrongdoings at this time.
    2012 / 2013 - Purple's father left the family, his mother later died, leaving Purple all alone by himself.
    2014 - The Second Coming was created, Alan changed his perspective on stick figures and befriended them.
    2015 - The gang discovered Minecraft, Herobrine possessed Red and was defeated later on.
    2017 - Minecraft rediscovery. Green and Blue met Purple, which was a king at the time. They entered The End, Purple stole the Dragon Egg and got overthrown.
    2018 - Dark Lord created Virabot and sent it to Alan's pc, Dark Lord vs Chosen One, Chosen One saved Alan and the stick gang from Virabot, they followed him into the portal. Chosen One vs Dark Lord again. Dark Lord wore the Viraband, Alan's join the fight, everyone died. Second Coming awakened and defeated Dark Lord and revived all.
    2020 - King Orange lost his son, wanted revenge on Minecraft, got the command block, hunted the stick gang, met Purple and began his plan. He later got 2 Minecraft Blocks and destroyed Minecraft but Second coming reversed it and saved everyone. King Orange and Purple redemption.
    2023 - Chosen One is being hunted down, the mercenaries captured him and Second Coming back to Rocket Corp. Victim vs Chosen One. Victim interrogated Chosen One and found Alan. The stick gang's rescue attempt failed, yellow was captured.

    This is how you create a sympathetic villain. Victim is justified in how he feels with the way he's been treated. He was broken down, escaped and built himself up only to be broken again as the past comes back to haunt him. How he goes about it doesn't make it right but can anyone really blame him from having such crippling PTSD that it becomes what is driving his anger and bitterness? I also love how Smith starts out as a security guard. Everything is building up fantastically.

When TCO and the Dark Lord were on their rampage spree, Newgrounds was one of the times TCO was shown to have held back or been uneasy about it. Yet he just blew Mitsi to bits.

    Truly… the one that got away.
    Victim found new life elsewhere, one where he wasn’t tortured and killed multiple times over. He built a business, provided an easier living for his kind, and on top of all that, found love…
    …and lost it.
    That loss is what ultimately drove him to hold onto the resentment and anger towards not just The Chosen One, but the Animator as well.
    This is definitely one of those series where you kinda sympathize with the villain. He had it all, till chaos struck, and he lost it all.

      ​@@DisvordyAssuming he's not dead, if he comes back, it'll probably be next season. I'd love to see him get more development and become less of a caricature, but.. after this, I'm not so sure anyone else would be eager for that.
      The problem is that Dark was never given any nuance, so there's nothing left to expand on. His brand of villainy was really flat and generic. If he were to come back as a full-blown bad guy, it would just be a trite repeat of Season 2. But if he were to be redeemed, or even made neutral, people would probably still be mad, becuase many don't think he deserves a second chance (plus, if Victim gets redeemed, then I can see people getting tired of every villain getting redemption).
      It's a shame though. I would've loved to see more of his dynamic with Chosen when they're not destroying everything. But I guess that's all up to interpretation now.

    13:59 Smith is a good friend of Victim and Mitsi. It's not surprising that he is also traumatized (and guilt-ridden) by her death, not to mention that he witnessed it firsthand. This also explains his obedience (and perhaps sympathy) towards Victim, given that they have lost what is important to them.

    i have a theory that the Alans stick figures inherit their powers from the wishes of the creator when theyre made. he named his first stick figure "Victim" though he lacks special ability, he has a exceptional crafting skill, and knows how to use tools (not only in this video, but in AvA 10 "The Box" as well.) perhaps because he was abused for months in a "creative" way by Alan. the second stick figure, he named "The Chosen One" and the third "The Dark Lord", both has a similarly destructive power, the latter being bloodthirsty evil. now, i think TSCs special power is double meaning on "animation" as in "life giving", unlike other stick figures, TSC was a frame of an animation. TSC is the only stick figure that can animate a drawing (seen in AvA 4, 9 and multiple times in Actual Shorts) , make emojis come to life (as seen in AvA 4), this power also allows him to "reanimate" terminated animations (also seen in AvA 9). also worth noting, that when the flash animation is uploaded and comes to life, its in the form of green particle, similar particle is seen when theyre destroyed, or brought back, the same color is seen when TSC awakens his power (as seen in AVA 9.) i have a feeling, that the title of the series "animator VS animation" isnt just talking about Alan as the animator, but TSC as well. now, its only a matter of time until Victim realized the TSCs power to "reanimate" the dead.

    What's really tragic is that victim had became content, he was ready to move on- only to have it brutally ripped away from him again. It builds a compounding hatred in victim for Alan and his creations.
    And at the end of the day, it's hard to blame him. He has no way of knowing TCO and Alan have moved on; victim still wants (and frankly *deserves*) revenge.

      The fact that he STILL has hallucinations about Alan but ignores them completely shows how much Victim has improved thanks to Misty and although it's clear that he'll never forget the torment he went through, he decides to focus on his future.
      Another proof of his good heart is that, by that time, with his company in full swing, Victim HAS ALL THE NECESSARY RESOURCES to take revenge on Alan (like sending him a virus like Dark Lord did or something else) but he decided not to do it and Be happy with his wife and his new life.

    I think I see where this is going.
    Anyone remember the montage from the Virus parts of AvA? Where it shows shots of TCO and TDL going on a rampage? By the time they hit Newgrounds, TCO was completely disarmed. As in, his flames were totally out, and he had his arms up as if pleading to TDL or begging for forgiveness at the world they were destroying.
    In other words, TCO had renounced his destructive ways by the time the events of this episode occurred. That destruction was all TDL, I guarantee it.
    Not convinced yet? Look at the destruction shown in this episode. All fireballs; explosive orange projectiles fired at high speed. This is NOT TCO’s MO. His main projectile attacks are constant fire streams and red eye lasers. It isn’t until the fight against the Virus that we see more developed powers out of him, like lightning summoning, fire punches and antivirus(?) waves.
    TDL, on the other hand, started spamming projectiles on day one. They were his signature move until gaining the Virus powers, and his strongest attack pre-ViraBand in The Showdown was a huge explosive fireball.
    Additionally, notice how in both the perspective of The Agent and the cameraman who recorded a shot from The Showdown, TDL is curiously absent. This isn’t something you do by accident; this is Alan showing us how Victim’s limited knowledge of the situation has laser-guided his vengeance on the wrong stick figure.
    This is definitely going to be a major plot point later.
    Side Boat: I like that Alan(the creator) isn’t retconning his actions(the character) from AvA 1-3, where he is actively malicious and some might even say sadistic towards his own creations. He *could* have just hand waved that away, but he didn’t. More than that, he went in depth on the mindset of Victim after what he went through. Trauma, PTSD, and full blown panic attacks all caused by what Alan did. Victim is *deeply* scarred, and it is entirely Alan’s fault. I’m pretty sure that’s gonna be a major plot point too, when Alan inevitably interacts with Victim again.
    Say, doesn’t that green energy look almost exactly like the energy TSC started using in The Showdown? The energy that was capable of perfectly restoring both his own body and his deleted(not just killed by injury, but LITERALLY DELETED BY A CODE-DEVOURING VIRUS) friends?
    I think there just might be a happy ending for Victim yet. He deserves it more than any of the cast so far. Poor guy.

      I agree but even if the Chosen One was less murderous, he was still in a killing spree before entering Newgrounds so he still deserved the torture Victim gave him in “The Box” episode. What make this even worse is that the Chosen One was the reason why Dark Lord became a villain in the first place so even if the red stick figure was the one who killed Victim’s love interest, he is still an accomplice. Plus, unlike Victim and The Dark Lord, the Chosen One was evil at birth so yeah.

Also worth considering that in the previous episode, even though we see TDL in TCO's memories, neither Victim or his henchmen seem to react at all to his presence, like they're so laser focused towards TCO and Alan that they missed the big evil elephant in the room

And I only knew that lady for twenty minutes, but I will say this, she will be missed. No wonder Victim went revenge crazy, he finally escaped from a cycle of torture, only to meet someone who brought him genuine happiness. But that someone was taken away by what he assumed to be the very person responsible for his suffering.

In the end, Alan was the source of all his suffering. The only thing he doesn't know is the TCO and Alan aren't friends. Their goals aligned during the fight against TDL, but it isn't like they're buddies.

I'm honestly rooting for him now. After everything he's gone through, he deserves it
    And what amazes me most is that you were about to tell such an emotional and beautifully animated story without any of the characters talking. This series is truly something special. Thank you Alan and your team for making something so beautifully amazing. Your work is one of a kind

      who cared for him and he could trust so he thought he will be safe but then only 4 years later it was all taken from him by his own clone created by his creator. one who was not created to be tortured, but to torture. so im 100% sure victim got all the right to be the villain in the stickmen universe. i really hope victim will have a good ending. but i think that for him to have a good ending he needs to learn who deafeted the dark lord, who was created by alan to manipulate the chosen one. and why alan did all of this.

    I think I know where this is going. The opening montage of young Alan tormenting Victim is more than just showing the breadth of Victim’s trauma, it’s showing a fundamental aspect of Stickfolks existences. Every time young Alan typed ‘Victim’ into the element name, it was always the same individual who was brought into existence, all the same memories, no matter how many times he’s died.
    What I’m trying to get at here is that in order to finally stop Victim’s plans; Alan, TSC, and the gang are going to have to track down Grace and her PC to get her to re-upload Mitsi to try to get Victim to stop. Likely in a race against time before Flash is shut down.

    THERE IS A CRIME SCENE IN MY CHEST. MURDER ON MY HEART.
    Seeing Victim suffer for half a year, and escape with severe PTSD is one thing. But to see him overcome his PTSD, with large help from Mitsi and the townfolk, just to see all his friends die at the hands of TCO, is heartbreakinng. Really, this episode revealed that no one is really in the right. TCO may have changed to be far kinder, but it doesnt change the fact that he killed Mitsi in cold blood, among many others. Victim has suffered a lot, but does it justify the brutality shown toward TSO, and 5 innocent stickfigures that just stumbled into this whole situation? Alan (the character) may be kinder toward the current bunch of sticks, but he is mostly the reason Victim is the way they are now.

    @crphic4493 Day ago +2

    Thought I'd mention this: at 19:51 on the bottom right corner you can see a newspaper saying "workers are quitting rocket co. jobs" and there's other papers covering the fall of rocket co. stock price. It's clear that after Mitsi died victim began allocating his company resources to developing weapons and technology that could fight/contain TCO. As a result, the company atmosphere probably became far less enjoyable, with the newspaper at 19:51 quoting a worker, "It's just not the same." That newspaper also has a picture of the worker, who is clearly the guy with the hat holding the blueprints at 11:22 on right. We can see that victim has scribbled "coward" under his picture, which is depressing because it shows that victim probably had a falling out with him, even though they probably worked together in the company for years and were close as we see the same guy at the company's 4 year celebration, which just goes to show how much Mitsi's death affected his life.

    I don’t wanna say anything yet, but so far everyone that has made mistakes now looks up to The Second Coming for showing them how to be better. Alan’s abuse of Stickmen was met with TSC’s compassion, The Chosen One’s selflessness to defeat The Dark Lord was met with TSC’s determination to protect his friends and save others. I would expect that Victim’s hatred for Alan’s abuse and his loss of Mitsi to TCO will be met with TSC’s forgiveness and his ability to bring others back from destruction, like when TDL dematerialized Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue and TSC rematerialized them after beating TDL. He could theoretically also bring back Mitsi, and Victim could forgive Alan and TCO.
    Also, anyone else noticed how the system that creates stickmen has the same green-yellow energy as TSC’s abilities? (That was the main inspiration for this theory).

    Honestly the second most interesting thing here is the world building:

    HOWEVER, when things made by artists - things made with bits of their heart and soul - are uploaded, they are given life in a world tethered to the platform their based on (this should mean that every platform is its own planet)
    The most important thing to note is this world is tethered to the platform and from there to the person who made them
    If the platform is disrupted they’ll get pulled out of the world and dropped into it or perhaps further into their own PC
    This relationship might also explain why by Green got so addicted to YT besides the high of being a content creator - he uploaded himself, made himself a link to YT
    And they can die though it seems that naming art the same as the OG can possibly revive them?

    0:20, the first reason Victim tries to escape, even before he knows he’s being attacked, is because he sees the green pastures in Alan’s desktop and wants to be in them. Alan, through his torment, keeps him trapped instead in a blank white sheet with no life or character, and even when Victim escapes, the trauma he carries with him keeps him stuck in a grey fog. However, when Mitsi, characterised by the green energy of living creation, stands by him during his panic attack at 9:33, the greyness finally clears, and Victim finds that, at last, he’s arrived in the beautiful green pastures he yearned for when he was born.
    Victim, though he founds a company that creates infrastructure, lives in a rural town with Mitsi, among the greenery. But after Mitsi dies, we never see him leave his office, and the shadow of Alan’s actions traps him once again in an empty, soulless, white box. Except this time, he has the opportunity to become the cruel dictator of the emptiness, and, in attempting to take revenge on Alan and TCO, he becomes the tormentor he hated when he was born, trapping Orange and TCO in perpetuity without destroying them in the same way Alan continually kept him around. He is away from the greenery of Mitsi and Orange’s creation, but isn’t quite in the darkness of TDL’s destruction. Instead, he’s in a blank greyness, and indeed, after escaping his destructive doom from Alan who coloured him dark, became grey himself. In other words, he still has the opportunity to choose the darkness of destruction, or stand back in the green pastures with Mitsi once more.

    Man this whole story started nearly two decades ago. I remember watching 3 and 4 when I was in middle school. Caught up on 5 through 11 just now and my jaw dropped. The production quality, every episode, the creative and intelligent story-telling through visuals. And the narrative itself isn’t dumbed-down for us because we don’t have words. It conveys complex and extremely painful emotions and lessons across years of life experience. Not only that but Alan, you made a narrative that honestly depicts your actions and if anything makes them worse. Not only that but your characters you’ve created have skeletons too. You’ve grown, your characters have grown, but that doesn’t magically make everything go away. From the dark lord and the chosen one rampaging across the internet to the chosen one making peace with his violent upbringing and subsequent crimes, then finally having to absolve them through killing his closest friend and face his creator who forsaken and abused him. Absolutely insane stuff, and I’m so proud of how you’ve come to animate all of this. The jump in 2D to 3D was utterly insane, the effects made me giggle with childhood joy with how awesome they were and how they physically looked and sounded real in that suspension of disbelief sort of way. I’m so excited to see how you write this narrative going forward, it’s incredibly deep and cuts to the soul.

    This answers so many questions.
    A big one to me was how in the world was Victim still here because we had seen Alan delete him but turns out he made him again and again until one day where Victim broke free from Alan’s PC.
    Then there was how Victim even knows about The Chosen One and what he had again him, like we as the viewer could assume from the previous episodes that it’s because he was another of Alan’s creations and he clearly has hate for Alan and could maybe use him to find Alan, but what we actually see is that because TCO killed someone close to him and he found out about who did it thanks to Agent Smith.
    For Agent Smith at first he just felt like a mercenary, but turns out he’s not it’s clear he felt bad for Victim not being able to save his loved one so he continues to work with him, so not a mercenary but a soldier or even a spec op working under Victim.
    As for the other 3 their origins are still unknown but I think it’s safe to assume they are also survivors after the Newgrounds attack given how unique they are and Newgrounds having plenty of unique animations from different people and with their special skill sets were put in the same team with Agent Smith.

Honestly after watching all those animations I never pondered on what happened after, I thought it was all really linear but now we get to see what really has been happening... The Victim's repeating story of pain, The Dark Lord's thirst for chaos, even Alan's own evolution from torturing and using the stickfigures as toys to eventually befriending the fighting stickmen and the Second Coming and living alongside them.

    so the idea is that every time a stickman character is made and uploaded to the internet, they are transported to a plane of existence where they can just live out their days like normal people. But if they are removed from whatever website they were on (in this case, I believe it's mostly newgrounds) then they cease to exist, but if they somehow escape their reality before ceasing to exist, then they become "rogue" stickmen and just exist on the internet without constraint.
    So this would also include all the stickmen who were made just to be unalived by the "main character" of the animation of said stickman, which would explain why the world they are on is so abundant.
    It's actually a really thought out idea.

    Among all the details, a piece I love about this are the details on how all these stick figures (including the "background characters") are born. We see when Victim is watching Mitsi is being exported to Newgrounds, that a (... familiar...) lime-green glowing energy surrounds her file, pushing Victim's rocket back into the "series of tubes" that make up the Internet. Once a character's animation is uploaded, forming the thumbnails we see on the Newground's pages/towers, that green energy remains, coursing into the "Internet World", where they they exist in a larger setting, typically manifesting around characters of a similar visual style. (Victim's introduction to that world was seemingly so out of the ordinary (quite literally desaturating him in the process), it somehow "bridged the gap" and allowed "Internet World" to have direct connections to every PC in existence, where before it was seemingly disconnected from any online space directly. Perhaps The Dark Lord's whole portal network machine continued to close that gap...)
    Seeing all those old internet animations fleeing Newgrounds... moving with their own unique style and framerates... This whole series, it feels like it's also performing a fantastic tribute to the "magic" of making things. That these little scribbles we create contain something special we put in them, that brings them to life. The only way to truly destroy something like that is to erase it completely - hence why when Newgrounds gets attacked, the destroyed animation exports cause their characters to vanish in a flash of that same lime-green "creative magic". Something about us, the humans, the animators - it quite literally gives them life. (And it's something these characters don't quite all understand - the villagers Mitsi and Victim live with are shown questioning what lies beyond the sky.) It makes me wonder if The Dark Lord had succeeded in completely destroying the internet, he would have inadvertently evaporated everyone in Internet World. Maybe that's something these characters will come to accept and understand - there's a mutual, mystical bond between creator and creation.
    ... This then makes me wonder about the Mercenaries - maybe this "magic" goes back further than we know, or even extends to "non-internet" spaces. Like Primal - maybe they are an actual, legitimate neolithic cave painting, given that magic thousands of years ago by some ancient, passionate artist - Primal being an actual "ancestor' to the entire concept of Stick Figures as a whole.
    This series has so much potential, that it explores so, so incredibly well. Maybe I'm just reading too much into this, or whatever - but as someone who very much believes in the idea that creative works contain a tiny piece of our heart and soul, this concept really speaks deeply to me (even if my current projects don't move all that much). Thank you and your team so much, Alan, for continuing to make so many incredible, heartfelt things. It really does feel like this saga is a really profound story about Animators and Animations indeed. 💙

      Sorry to say, but your math is a little off, as proven in the episode: it's not that victim was tortured for 9 months and 12 days straight, but for a 9 month and 12 day period of time, everytime Alan named the stick figure victim he wasn't creating a new consciousness, but rather bringing back to life the original victim, this is why in certain moments you see victim reacting to a previous event upon being named, and whilst yes, the torture Alan put victim through during those 9 months and 12 days was horrible, considering that what I can see is victim, upon regaining awareness, starts freaking out, Alan would likely then think that he's got another stick figure acting up, and is launching a first attack, only to completely escalate the problem to the levels that we see where-in Alan is preemptively attacking victim, because he believes that every new stick figure he makes is going to cause him problems, not realising that it's the same, original stick figure from the very beginning. It's only when victim completely destroys the program Alan was using does he decide to name the stick figure something else. Now, does that make it right, or justified, nope, but it could paint another picture with the tools that we've been given.

Whilst this video doesn't give full context to the amount of time that Alan did torture victim (whether one session was only a few minutes, or others hours), if we calculate the amount of time victim is active in the original video before Alan closes the program (which is roughly 1 minute and 48 seconds), then, as a conservative estimate, applied that number to every day between June 3, 2006 and March 15, 2007, we get 8 hours & 33 minutes that we can estimate victim's torture session, from his perspective, to have lasted
      EDIT: Conservative Estimate in this regards being a single 1 minute 48 second torture second per day
      EDIT 2: My math was slightly off, fixed it
