The fact that in this reaction Grian managed to trick even Martyn, who knew what his task was due to it saying it at the start, is so funny to me. He did a really good job of selling it
That’s funny, because Cleo said at that time that she wanted to get Martyn to ruin his day. The fact that Martyn was fooled even after the event was long past showed that he might’ve fallen for it the same reason Joel did
4:10 The "One-Stick Horse" is a reference to one of Bdubs's "patented" techniques where he used items (sticks) flowing from a hopper as a timer to measure the speed of horses. Ironically, a one-stick horse would be a very fast horse according to this measurement technique, but Bdubs doesn't point out the mistake for the bit (or misses it completely)
I think BdoubleO inverted the system at some point, so that you check the system to see how many sticks are left, so a low stick horse is a slower horse? But it's been awhile since I seen that video
Right, It was in his previous season of Building with BDoubleO. He used his famous Redstone prowess to create a way to compare the speed of horses to count how many sticks an Etho hopper clock causes to be dispensed before the horses crosses a finish line tripwire. This is also why Grian names the wither in Secret Life "1 Stick Wither"
My mistake, it was Hermitcraft season 7, not the 10 year old Building series I was thinking of ruclips.net/video/xG_Rx1PWsb8/видео.htmlsi=oUMzzDuatboALOiR
When it comes to canine interpretations of etho’s skin, I think it’s almost exclusively the arctic white fox he gets fused with. It could be tied to dog pack white fang kakashi lore, but I’m willing to bet it’s because he had a white fox as a pet in s7 and the white ears go well with the white hair. Also goes well with his personality/character
a "one stick horse" comes from the way Bdubs measured horse speed in HC a while ago! In his method he used tripwires and sticks to measure the time per distance. A person underneath this comment pointed out that they accidentally switched it around in the session! I still measure my horse speed in sticks :D
1 stick would be the best. Bdubs forgot it in the moment. The more sticks meant the longer it took for the horse to cross between two tripewires. A hopper would have sticks passing into a chest only while the horse is crossing the distance between the tripewires. Therefore less sticks was a faster horse
As an artist watching people analyze frames gives me unbelievable joy Because when you're animating something you just have to accept that 99% of people are not going to see the art, half the time people aren't even looking at the screen as they watch the video It's so nice to watch someone appreciate the amount of work that goes into people's animations Animating stuff is agony, major respect to the people that do it
Totally agreed Martyn always seek details and love to give his opinion for fans work he react and it shows how much he love fans work That make me so happy when he notice little detail I put in
I always look at the screen for animated videos, for me seeing the great art and detail people have put into it is most of the fun, i love watching animated things because of that
I love how Martyn is just complimenting how people draw his friends and then he just says "you done so much you can't do but you done it anyway" XD I love seeing Martyn react to animations
All the people Grian was talking to were green. He thought if he went up to a yellow singing it would be too obvious, so he sang around the greens and waited for one of them to rat him out to a yellow.
Etho is often drawn as an arctic fox, probably because in s7 he had a arctic fox named side-kit, and also because people love giving Etho a wintery theme due to being Canadian! (I don't know why that one chatter said he was often depicted as a dog, because that's just not true lmao)
He HEARD Grian read "bait a Yellow" at the beginning, but Grian's acting, and Melloz's animation of Grian's acting, were so good that he actually forgot!
There's a nice little design tidbit that's in this animators designs, and that's the fact that everyone has three hearts in their design that fits them (for example Mumbo's buttons on his suit), and it shows how many lives they have left. Like seriously, you can see one of Joel's hearts is broken because he's a yellow life, and that's so awesome.
Scar is actually very tall in real life, apparently he got measured and is about 6 feet tall or something but you can’t tell because of the wheel chair.
Thank you so much for reacting to my animatic, I'm always so excited when it comes to your reaction for fans content And you actually make a good comment and make me so happy when you notice a little detail I've put in Thank you for bringing us joy over the years and I'm so glad I can expressed my love for this series and give it back to you :D
0:27 My dad if fighting against me about if his eyes are closed or if he doesn’t have pupils because he thinks the eyelid is eyebrows and the eyebrows are hair. Can you tell me what it is so we can settle this please
@@geveryging He doesn't have pupils bc I plan to make his eyes just glow (to make the scene looks magical when the scroll have been summon but I'm too lazy to make the chasing) sorry i didn't draw it clear enough xD
@@MellozHeist I asked multiple other people and they could all tell what it was but some people can’t admit they are wrong without perfect evidence so you animation is completely fine
Grian's task was to be told by a yellow that his task was to sing. His goal as is shown in the animatic was to just fully commit to not seem suspicious.
I need to ask- does cleo identify as non binary or something? Because I've noticed gem a Scott call cleo "they" but most people call her "her". Do most people not know she's non binary or something?
@@donttalktome2316 Yes, Cleo identifies as non-binary and uses She/They pronouns. They don't seem to mind when other creators use "she/her", but you'll notice that a lot of creators, especially those who know them well, or for whom sexual identity is a bigger part of their lives--such as Scott, and also Gem--tend to make an effort to use "they/them". As for whether or not most people "know", while they do tend to be pretty vocal about it on social media, it doesn't seem like they've gone out of their way to bring it up with other creators.
@@discotechgaming yeah I kinda thought that must be the case. Like the people who call cleo "she" aren't exactly bad people so I assumed they mustn't know. Gem makes a big point of saying THEY lol thanks for explaining
6:25 Just realized in this frame here- Grian’s irises look a bit like Watcher symbols, which is a common headcanon among us artists for when he’s scared :) Dunno if that was intended, but it’s cool nonetheless
Not often I find myself enjoying react content, but Martyn makes so much darn commentary over the actual content of the video that it becomes enjoyable.
For the part about the sticks, during a season of Hermitcraft, Bdubs set up a rough redstone system to time how fast his horses could run a small course so he could better gauge which was the fastest. Basically, the longer the horse took the more sticks would get transferred into a chest, so sticks is basically Bdubs' way of measuring the speed of horses, and the higher the stick number the worse the horse (although Bdubs has on several occasions forgotten the "high number = bad" element of his measuring system when referencing it after-the-fact, so him calling the horse a one-stick horse is meant to be a bad thing, even though in his original measuring system, one stick would have been insanely good to the point of being unrealistic).
Instantly Watching this Again! I love every Milasecond of this dude. The art style is so expressive and so On Point too like there's no joke about that!!
An old horse speed test involved gathering sticks as you go, so a 1 stick horse was a very slow horse (or a very fast horse in the simpler version, but based on context, they were using an inverted test) whish is also where 1 Stick Wither got it's name.
I dunno if you read these comments Martyn but just so you know, Arctic Fox Etho has been a pretty popular fanart design since he did his ice base in.... I wanna say HC Season 7? The one that had Shade-E-Es. It's kinda stuck around ever since
i love how Martyn mentions Scar and Grian's height difference, Grian is a birb so it makes sense meanwhile Scar is a vex/elf, if you think about it they both could be smol ✨
I did this task in person, my mother did the door challenge but with seats so she had to move around the table 3 times. My cousins were onto her but one cousin didn’t think anything of me singing until I said “Did you notice something strange going on?”
I just wanna say, for the regular tasks, i think that they are given by very loyal followers of the watchers, and i mean VERY loyal, and the hard tasks, they are personally given by the council. Then again i am new to the lore so yea :/
Oh man is the animation hilarious!! Its one of my favorites (one of the animatics I often come back to even!)* by how cute and well drawn the lifers are and how it never fails to entertain in the shots I've come to love watching Martyn's animatic reaction videos and its so fun seeing his reactions! I'm hoping he checks out Persefida's animatic "Run, Scar, Run!" soon
One of my favourite parts is directly after this is where Joel says something along the lines of “hey guys! My worlds absolutely on fire right now, how are you guys?”
4:25 Grain: people are actively vlocking off my video! Martyn: Theyre just not, though. Me, when Grian's episode initially dropped: skipping forward to see how long the singing went on for, to decide if I was going to watch it or not. Grian knows that he's talking about, that man could already see the retention rate dropping by the minute lolol
Given how much you enjoy going through all the little details I’m surprised Noxlotl’s stuff has yet to be reacted to - but really all your reactions are great
Silver Fox is american slang for a hot older gentleman. Etho's skin's hair is silver, he's on the older side for a youtuber, and is always a gentleman so it just fits.
Sometimes creators reacting to videos and constantly pausing them annoys me-but not like this. Analyzing every single frame is my favorite type of reaction
You are the best life series pov you always bring fun to my heart. The ghosts that rise above with the clouds that shake the sky’s and the bloodlust that scores the ground in a deth match that few have found. That’s all I got can you make a better version and replay this comment?
Have you considered to watching the bigger life series animations by like Rusty Courage or Christrin. The ones with songs. I know they use copyrighted music, so it could be problematic, however it would just effect the one video. On the other hand, you could isntead react to them without the sound being recorded, which would be cool. Alternativly, you might have just chosen not to post such things here. Lol.

I think it's because he's known for being smart and cunning yet playful/mischievous like a fox. Or at least that's why I draw him as a fox.
Ohhhhhh, that makes so much more sense!
The white fox pet is certainly part of it but I figure that part of it is that his skin is litterally just a Naruto character as well
Also the Arctic part is probably because he's Canadian-
