Rest in peace Plastic Beach

And cyborg noodle :(
@@solace9245 Murdoc cried i cant 😭
Bet cyborg noodle gonna make a comback
@wd PAPER JUICE F
Imagine going back to your house from 10 years ago just to see your friends (RIP Daley) and Cyborg doppelganger dead, and then your house gets destroyed by a chained up flamboyant sea god.
It happens to the best of us I suppose.
Yep it does
Yeah that happened to me
Isnt this set right after the events of Rhinstone Eyes tho?
It's just an everyday thing for me now 😔✊
Super relatable.
The fact this is only partially CGI is why Jamie Hewlett is an underrated artist. The water and models are all real. He’s an incredible man that Gorillaz can’t do without.
I really enjoyed the old Kaiju movies like "Godzilla," "Rodan," Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla," and 'The War of the Gargantulas." I could sense that there was some inspiration from that in the video, and I love that about it. Also, the "Kongscope" caption at the beginning really adds to the cinematic quality.
0:56 this shot is literally fantastic
while jamie is a great artist, he didn't animate this or built the PB model
Everyone's talking Murdoc and 2D which is understandable, but does anyone else see that Russel is mainly concerned about Noodles safety. She was safe in his mouth at the beginning, he helps her put onto the lighthouse. Holding her hand, holding her wrist as they go through the portal. He's concerned about her and only her here. It's so cute like an older brother protecting his lil sis
I absolutely love their relationship with each other. It's somewhat overshadowed by Murdoc and 2D's, but I think Noodle and Russel have the best dynamic together. Russel has cared so much for Noodle over the years and like you said, it's really cute.
@@_Blahaj THIS RIGHT HERE
Yeah it was so cute
Russell always been that way, even at the beginning of it all, he was like that with 2-D because Murdoc well he was being Murdoc until Russell couldn’t keep him protected because Murdoc will always kidnap him.. Noodle is the youngest, at one point we thought she was dead, so we can see why Russell will be more protective of her.
@@_Blahaj woah its the ikea shark
but also yeah i really agree and i wish to see more of their dynamic in future mvs
Me: "And then he used his laser eyes to destroy plastic beach!"
My parents: "Sure son, eat your dinner."
Omg😂😂
XD
XD
Jajajajja me too
This is happening to me right now, and I’m 29. 🤣
this was so symbolic actually, their shared trauma that has been sitting over them for ten years is finally destroyed and they can truly move on.
They already did tho humanz was a reboot and the now now was them moving on
@@baguettemmm6120 TOTALLY AGREED! this whole album was incredibly symbolic in terms of murdoc’s redemption especially and i can’t wait to see where this goes next
@@sneed915 well humanz was kinda more of a “party” album as a comeback due to a six year hiatus. there was barely any lore except when murdoc got arrested towards the end to set it up for the now now. the now now felt more like 2D coming to terms with murdoc being gone and wanting to move on from the abuse and trauma he went through because of him, i feel like the rest of the band didn’t really get to do that yet and this video finally allowed them to truly move on, yknow?
@@baguettemmm6120 also omg when he cried over cyborg noodle it hurt my heart because back then, he thought the real noodle was dead and this robot was really all he had and he MADE HER FROM NOODLES DNA like omfg,,and now shes just destroyed i felt so bad
Since Murdoc is the one who literally kidnapped and locked 2D during phase 3, I think the destruction of the Plastic Beach is a nice metaphore of Murdoc losing his control over 2D.
I love this explanation omg
oh shit, this hits hard
Oh God I love your interpretation
But shows that 2d won't just abandon murdoc
I heard someone say it was sad that the plastic beach model was destroyed. But I think for the band, it was probably better for all of them (especially 2-D) to forget about that place so not having it there is probably better for the band.
1:30 Dang that shot of Noodle looking at her old mask, haunted by the broken memories of her past, gives me chills.
Especially with the lyrics "I've got heartache" in the background...goosebumps
@@asgardali22 The lyric is “I go harder”, not “I’ve got heartache”
@@doxophobiac can you blame them gorillaz is barely understandable and we somehow love it
It's very well orchestrated, utterly beautiful. Amazing profile picture by the way, Jet Set Radio is awesome!
@@T-man2240 thank you. Another man of culture

Im the #666 like, lol
Gorillaz: "would you like to see more plastic beach?"
Me: "Boy would I!"
Gorillaz: "Destroyed it"
Technically it's finishing the plot thread we never got to see finished, as they never showed how Russell sunk back down to size and never seemingly explained it until this video.
It's amazing that they have all this lore.
Gone
Its also not done really, damon already said hell probably go back to plastic beach sometime because the world still doesnt understand plastic beach and its importance to our world
@@mitchfisher4106 that's so true, but that was also back in October and they're also working on Sound Machine, maybe it happens soon? I hope so.
@@RubbelisPro dude i feel like song machine just a side project to damon, hes a genius
I want a 5 hour long movie(or a movie with two parts) with literally every little bit of canon lore
Same
WELL guess what? Netflix axed that shit so it aint happening...
Thanks netflix for being a bitch. They cancel it
@@shizlnit be glad Netflix axed it. It would've been a disgrace to Gorillaz under that atrocious company
Yes
The fact that Murdoc for a brief moment accepts his fate, then becomes ELATED when 2d comes back just brings tears to my eyes in so many ways. He KNOWS 2d shouldn't have come back but that fact that 2d does just melts my heart.
he looks more panicked and trying to look for a way out than acceptive of his fate
@@geesegrease957 yup he went from panicked to saved with nothing in between.
Even if Murdoc ruined him, 2D still got his back
Murdoc lo maltrato,lo atropello y el echo de que 2-D lo salvará es hermoso
2-D smiles when Murdoc pulls him up 😁
The fact that 2D helped murdoc up even though he did all that stuff to him on plastic beach makes me so emotional broo
Kkkjjjkghghh ficus KV
Yeah, I was very surprised by him helping Murdoc
Respect for 2D able to start singing as soon as he throws up a whale.
Lol
Throwing up any spare whales in your throat is one of the most effective vocal warmups before singing
@@AlecNormal it depends on what how smooth of a tone you need to keep, if you want something more gratty and or muffed, Its better to keep some in there ya'know
Much reshpekt
Fun fact: the Whale is the same whale that tries to eat 2-d in rhinestone eyes…it’s name is big dick
It melts my heart knowing the 2 most replayed parts are when cyborg noodle are on screen and 2-D saving Murdoc. I love the Gorillaz fanbase.
That shot of Cyborg Noodle just glaring up at the gang as she just descends further into the depths of the ocean, gives me chills every time I see it. Especially with her backstory and all she's witnessed till that point.
2010: Escape to Plastic Beach.
2020: Destroy to Plastic Beach.
they basically did both
XD
Wkww
:(((
f
2-D: _throws up a whole damn whale_
Also 2-D: *So anyway, I started singing.*
Nothing tempers the vocal chords like regurgitating sea mammals.
Also,,, he’s scared of whales LMAO
And it was a small whale
*2D was eaten by a whale at the end of phase 3*
_Well, well, well, how the turntables._
@@milkbeanz2044 he surpassed his fears of whales when he has to eat an entire whale to survive at the end of phase 3
Low key this is probably my favorite Gorillaz music video of all time. It acts as a conclusion for plot points in Plastic Beach that were never resolved all these years later, as well as redeeming Murdoc and showing that he has been forgiven and accepted by the rest of the band with 2-D coming back for him at the end
Yeah... I doubt Russel will ever accept him, lol.
Pink phantom is definitely up there
The radioactive water is not only strong enough to make Russel giant, but to create a humanoid sea monster that sings and shoots laser beams from its eyes.
“...And then 2D saved Murdoc!”
“Ok, daughter...Do you want to open your presents now?”
ahhaha
Yeaha
Me
that was literally me today💀
"So what does this have to do with how you met mom?"
The face 2D makes when he brings Murdoc through the portal is the most 2D thing I've ever seen
*:P*
2D is a good Friend
it’s so wholesome
He's cute af.
1:22
Poor Daley. He didn’t even make it to the plastic beach. He was only late by a few hours!
I'm still sad about him fucking dying.
i dont understand that, doncamatic is part of plastic beach album?, cause it didn't appear in the playlist on youtube
@@javierflores3524it was made months after Plastic Beach was released.
The brief scene of Cyborg Noodle awake and sinking gives me chills everytime. I know we may not, but I hope we see her again.
WHEN MURDOC REALLY THOUGHT THEY LEFT HIM BEHIND AND 2Ds ALL LIKE SIKE ❤️😩
Everything else in Song Machine: *absolute vibing*
The Lost Chord: *Ptsd intensifies*
In many ways, I feel like this was Gorillaz trying to finally finish the plastic beach storyline, as it takes a lot of concepts from the cancelled Rhinestone Eyes video. The destruction of the mansion, Noodle coming out of giant Russel's mouth, and cyborg Noodle's destruction. Not to mention Murdoc coming to terms with the fact that he was the real monster in that part of his life
No idea why anyone thinks cyborg Noodle was destroyed. The laser nearly blasted over the whole band and they were completely fine. Cyborg Noodle dropped down the ocean in a submarine, not even touched by the laser. There's really no reason to think anything other than the island was destroyed.
3:56 I love Murdoc's face when 2D shows up
Well, Murdoc "saved" Stu, so...
I genuinely got scared when Murdoc almost got left behind-
SAME I WAS SO SCARED 😭
SAME i gasped so hard!
Yo me too I was oh shit mudz
i legit screamed
lmfoao same i was like “noooo is no onw going back for him???😭😭” and then i saw 2d and i was like oh ok
They rlly gave us a tear jerker by showing robot noodle and fucking destroying the plastic beach headquarters
Also all the fellas left on the island became skeletons
@maltheemil vangsgaard look again, she turns away from the window as shes sinking, i think shes alive bois.
@@orangejoe2147 yes 😫
3:46 2D's expression when Murdoc pulls him up is to die for.
He’s genuinely proud of him for helping everyone up, old Murdoc would be making sure he’s the first one out but here he actually prioritised his band members
he said :D
the implication that cyborg noodle is still alive is disturbing
She's been there all this time still alive and alone. That hurts 🥺
@@trinny_booAnd will be for a looong time
Damon: How much references you will put in the video?
Jamie: yes
Jamie’s a mad man with this video, it’s awesome
Yare yare
Damon said, “This giant model is taking up too much space. Time to get rid of it.”
Or jamie
Betting money it was Jamie's idea
Damn so they had 1 take
was the plastic beach model really destroyed?
PL no o lo ñ de ñ el de
Lo lo
2-D: *Throws up a whale*
Also 2-D: “This is the perfect opportunity to sing.”
i don’t know if anyone noticed, but towards the end when everyone is trying to get to the top of the lighthouse, you can see murdoc desperately trying to pull everyone up, only to seemingly get left behind in the end. i thought it was a very interesting detail that got slightly overshadowed by 2D coming back to rescue him. i suppose no good deed goes unpunished? im not good at analyzing stuff LOL
yeah i spotted that too, you can see 2d looks like hes smiling at murdoc for doing it too
I didn’t notice it until you pointed it out, that’s really cool!
Bruh, lo del castigo por "ser bondadoso" no. Más bien es karma por lo que hizo en Plastic Beach
It's character development. This was basically all four of them confronting their past (2D's fear of whales, Noodle's mask that used to hide her bruises from escaping hell, and Russell turning into a giant mutant after a psychotic episode when Del was exorcised from him) but focuses on Murdoc as Plastic Beach was mainly about him.
Around Phase 3, Murdoc abandoned his search for Noodle and opted to create a cyborg clone of her to be his bodyguard and new guitarist, replaced Russ with a drum machine, kidnapped and held 2D captive the entire time.
Murdoc helping all of them get up the top of the light house and going last shows how much he's changed and 2D being the one to save him in the end prolly means he's forgiven Murdoc for treating him horribly for years.
Hmmm
Everyone's talking about 2D and Murdoc but- HOW IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT RUSS MAKING SURE NOODLE GETS THROUGH THE PORTAL! He's Noodle's best adoptive dad.
Just a reminder that Leee John is frikin 63 and nails those high notes
His voice is insane 💯
Holy shit hes older than my grandpa! I thought he was just in his early to mid 30's
Excuse me what- how does this 63 year old hit notes better than some prime aged vocalists I know. Age brews experience I suppose.
This video is insane. Not only are they returning to their roots from phase 3, but they are really looking back at the memories they left behind and watching everything get demolished by some beast.
I haven’t seen all of Gorillaz music videos yet but this is the first time I’ve seen Murdock cry I actually cried too
That hurt to see, to know he actually had some sort of feeling for Cyborg Noodle, fuck that hurt. And then to see her sink to the bottom of the ocean and look up at them, FUCK. That hurt too… guess she wasn’t as robotic as some might have first thought and that hurts to think of
Gorillaz fans: Yeeeeees, Plastic Beach is back
Damon: *Let's fckng destroy it, Leee*
I think that was Jamie's idea, because he's the animator and director of the videos. Damon just does the music
I loved it. It really represents Gorillaz seperating themselves from their past trauma. It may have been pretty but, it was a literal prison made of garbage with a coat of paint. Nice it went out with a bang.
😥🤧😭
Isn't that a good thing though? I mean I'm a little rusty on my Gorillaz lore but... the plastic beach is bad, isn't it?
@@nicholashayes5773 yeah, pretty sure it was basically murdoc's song creation sweatshop with all the collaborators stuck there with him and the band. Still though, ignoring that, it seems like a pretty cool place to live
The lore now be like
“And then, Leee John destroyed plastic beach with his laser eyes-“
*with rhinestone eyes
The only proper way for it to go out.
3": it's.... It's so sad,and even that , is beautiful
Juan 😡
@@ElOroDelTigre did you just solve the riddle of our gorillaz generation?
Cyborg Noodle didn’t just sink to the bottom of the ocean, she sank to the bottom of Point Nemo, the most desolate location on earth and farthest from civilization. She’s just gonna be stuck there.

I will forever be grateful for Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett to get drunk enough to come up with an idea for a cartoon band in the 90's. Gorillaz is the best thing to happen during this pandemic.

Leee John is now officially the main antagonist of gorillaz
Nah 2020 hit the gorillaz harder than him
if you understand the political messaging in both plastic beach and song machine it's kind of obvious he isn't the villain
you're probably joking but just for clarity
@@grey8478 explain, im not speak english
Maybe he attacks Gorillaz because in the past Murdoc and his fellows destroys and makes very chaos in that place,so he maybe have some revenge for that devastation.
@@grey8478 so it’s plastic and such right? Because plastic beach was made to subtly or not so subtly point towards pollution. Is it that? Or what is it
I think we can all agree that plastic beach was a very traumatic time for the gorillaz, and the fact they go back to watch all that burn to the ground and kind of re-live it again makes them grow closer. And especially 2D and murdoc. They grew closer and learned to apologize and forgive eachother. Its a big step for murdoc
Murdoc’s reaction to seeing Cyborg Noodle… I wasn’t expecting that💔
There goes the hope for a new Plastic Beach game
Amo tu trabajo.
God, I used to spend hours playing that. Really makes this video all the more impactful having explored that place as thoroughly as I could.
we could escuba dive for the next game...I mean, in 2:39 to 2:43 we can clearly see cyborg noodle aware and horrofied to wake up in a sinking mini submarine to the bottom of the ocean, maybe the band will rescue her.
OMG
I was still looking for the bloody spanner

@@h3r3tic66 thanks!
I love how Murdoc pulled up 2D. He didn't have to, after all they've been through they still have eachothers back. Just like 2D didn't have to go back for Murdoc, but he did. I love watching these two grow. Also I don't think Murdoc was expecting anyone to go back for him. Like in Désolé, he thought he had been forgotten. The look on his face and his grip on 2D's hand warms my heart.
I actually like how 2D also helped Murdoc through the portal because Murdoc has changed for the better since phase 4 and the Now Now after regretting that he had done for the last 3 phases and 2D forgiving him is just obvious all because of that
Character development.
The panic after it closed was there and i honestly felt so baaaaaadddddddddd. Then 2D came back and it warmed my heart
Murdoc pulled everyone up.

This is just a friendly reminder that gorillaz got a copyright on their own song

So from what I’m gathering, this song is about letting go of the past? As their traumatic past in Plastic Beach is literally destroyed
Spot on!
Could be. Still great to see plastic beach again 10 years later
@@GEEKFREAK02 10 years... good lord, it’s been 10 years 😨
@@TheAdrift right? Time flies by so fast 😅
Yup. You can see everyone letting go. Noodles mask was destroyed, Russell lost his gigantism , murdoc lost cyborg noodle, and 2d got rid of moby dick
Murdoc was so shitty to 2D during Plastic Beach and he would’ve sunk here finally, but 2D came back to save him.
I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING
Not even just 2D. He kidnapped Russel and basically made him be the drummer, he had Noodle be bait in some stupid plot with his old guitarist that left her alone for years leading up to Plastic Beach’s events, creating Cyborg Noodle and not being responsible for all the terrible shit that she went through, now being stuck in the dark trenches of the sea, and he’s always been a cock to 2D, even in this album (Aires and Friday 13th.) by all accounts, Murdoc deserved to die with Plastic Beach and be reborn as a slug.
That’s why it’s so beautiful that 2D is the one to save him. He was his first victim but at the end of the day, Murdoc is still his family, Gorillaz’s family, and he wasn’t gonna let this horrible place be his tomb. In the shot of them grabbing hands, you can see just from how tight they hold each other how much they really do care for each other. Murdoc even helped the 3 get to the portal first instead of just hoping through it himself. The character development is simply beautiful.
2D's voice is always angelical, but he excelled in this one.
cyborg noodle staring up while sinking is some of the scariest shit i've seen from gorillaz, makes me think she'll be back as an antagonist.
i love how they used a small irl model of plastic beach for some scenes. i also feel like this has something to do with the fact gorilaz never got to make the rhinestone eyes video, just a storyboard and the fan made
maybe the lost chord refering to the video that got "lost"
“Big Black’s Record Shack”
THAT’S WHERE MURDOC KIDNAPPED RUSSEL PRE-PHASE ONE HOLY FU-
It was also in the Plastic Beach game, but that was so long ago that I kinda forgot how it worked into the story... I miss the game ;__;
@@TheAdrift If I remember correctly, the store appeared at the beach and you needed to made butter with the Doncamatic machine to help a big fat dude turn around, so he can grab a disc I think... annddd that was the purpose of the store hahahaha
My people
Yep. And because of the lee its gone forever. He ruined this video no doubt
AHA I FINALLY FOUND YOU GOD
The way Murdoc cried at 1:38 after seeing that felt like a rare wholesome moment for him
(Also I'm new to the lore can someone explain why there's two noodles?)
the other noodle is cyborg noodle! murdoc built her when the real noodle was missing after el mañana, iirc. she replaced noodle in the plastic beach arc until she came back at the end of rhinestone eyes.
I love the subtle references here. For me, my favorite one here is the skeletal remains of the dude from Doncamatic. What I imagine happened to him is during the song, he was basically making his way to meet the band maybe for a collab or something. Only to arrive with nobody present. His submarine not having much fuel left, he was there. Alone to perish. I could be wrong but if this is true, this is one hell of a sad and bit of a cruel way to die. Traveling so far only to see nothing and die for it.
it's pretty cool how this whole song machine is almost just about murdoc having a mental breakdown,and doing weird stuff,but at the end,they still a band
It literally is, I didn't even think about it like that 😭
The only thing I noticed was that the animation for a lot of the music videos are hella limited. Almost all the characters just do a loop or a still frame. Hopefully there will be a fully realized animated music video soon. Even this video the band was mostly still frames
Yeah it does seem to be centered around that. Looking at him in all these videos I kinda feel bad for him even if he is to blame for a lot of what has happened.
Im sorry but the absolute terror on murdocs face when the portal closed. Jamie did an AMAZING job on showing that he thought they wouldnt come back for them. Murdoc knows hes done terrible things to them, and was not expecting them to come back. And 2D came back for him, his face was just OMG he was SO relieved. Its insane how a perfect combo of music and visuals can create such vivid storytelling
This is why I like Jamie, he puts actual effort and thought into making these
What do you even mean "murdoc did terrible things". They thought noodle died in el manana so he made a cyborg version, not knowing that noodle survived. Are you speaking in assumption perhaps and it wasn't even amazing but i don't even blame jamie anyways. Hand drawn animation are expensive because this music video barely has 4 animation segment comparing to melancholy hill which felt like a cinematic film and don't even get me started on demon days
@@Kotakuchan15 oh no im talking about how murdoc abused and kidnapped all of the band members. Hes done terrible things to all of them, but in the end he makes a change for the better and they notice and come back to save him
@@Kotakuchan15 I think he mainly meant all the abuse he done to 2D, not to mention some crimes
@@VV-sque Well 2d shouldn't left the band
not me going back to check if the sea monster was flipping us off when it goes back into the water
Someone's probably already said this but it's just stuck with me how Murdoc was about to be left stranded on the place he used to call home, and the place that was basically a prison for 2D was kidnapped and held captive there by Murdoc against his will, got constantly abused by him, sat terrified in his room by the thing he's scared of the most (whales), fell into a deep depression; it was probably the lowest point for him. Plastic Beach was all Murdoc's doing, and he was afraid of being stuck there alone, stranded in what's a dark past, but *2D*, the person whom Murdoc has inflicted so much pain onto, came back to save him from the place that was once a hell.
You can tell Murdoc regrets everything, the way he shuts his eyes after pulling the mask off, the way he cries seeing Cyborg Noodle. I would assume 2D had forgiven him, which is why he saved him.
The fact that Gorillaz has been making music for like 20 years and their songs are still bangers amazes me
Oh hell ye

They are sorta an ageless classic, they somehow find a way to adapt

jokes aside, I have explained the full lore in somewhat detail to several people. It usually takes about 25 minutes, and this was only after phase 4.
It's been more than a year since this come out and I still scream when 2-D grabs Murdoc's hand and saves him, is just amazing
This shot right here 0:34 - 0:45 pure beauty
I love how Russel spat out Noodle just like at the end of the Rhinestone Eyes animatic. Jamie really didn't want to miss a single detail.
SOOOOOOO TRUUUUEEEE XD

Is no one gonna talk about how Murdoc cried when he saw Cyborg Noodle dead
so its just you and me
and the likes
I think he cried because
1. The difficulty to build something like that
2. Didn’t he spend more time with cyborg noodle than actual noodle at this time?
@@lionstudios.e-o.7382 i mean thats kinda what i thought but in my opinion, he cried because cyborg noodle has saved Murdoc so much times like in Stylo she saved Murdoc and 2-D from getting arrested
@@lionstudios.e-o.7382 i think he cried bc he remembered why he had built her in the first place, so he probably remembered the whole el mañana thing
But nobody acknowledged robot noodle awake sink to the depths of the sea?
Two years have passed since this song released, a lot has happened and it`s still a banger, thank you Gorillaz, much love to you guys and everyone in the community!!
The amount of talent in the song machine is unbelievably insane! I can’t think of any other band to include this spectrum of guest artist.
Everyone is talking about the end where 2D rescues Murdoc but what about how Murdoc cried over cyborg noodle, and how she sunk to the bottom of the ocean while plastic beach was being destroyed? Heart hurt man.
Yea and the terror she had on her face while sinking.. I cried for her
@@justuser679 yea that part touched me
@@justuser679 The terror? What I saw in her gaze was hatred more than anything else.
@@KeertikaAndFallenTree idk what that emotion was it just touched me for some reason
At this point we definitely need a gorillaz movie.
I think there is gonna be one in netflix
What happened whit cyber noodle:(
Yes please
one is coming soon
@@valentinoodiana8765 she sank to the bottom of the ocean, but I don't think she's dead, we saw her eyes open
12 years ago was the Welcome to the Plastic Beach, 2 years ago is The Goodbye of the Plastic Beach.
2d grabbing Murdoc's hand is so wholesome
How?
@@ruins4 its the context behind the whole story. After all that Murdoc has done, 2D still saves him
@@therealgingerboy2215 Russell and Noodle just leave him there (I don't blame them) but..... 2D the first member of the band,the first member Murdoc kidnapped and gave him his name and the person Murdoc abused... Is the one who saves him and forgives him.
Edit : as you can see during 3:42 Murdoc is helping Noodle, Russell and 2-D escape. He is also crying in the music video Desòle(desòle also means sorry) so yeah he is definitely changing.
Ok
It Is Indeed.
The look of pure joy on Murdoc's face when 2D comes back to save him and how tightly they gripped each other's hands...I had to re-watch that a few times, that was very powerful!
Well they've known each other the longest and despite how they met they are definitely really good friends.
It's rare seen Murdoc smiling... specially a not "evil and planning something smile".
IT'S RAINING WHILE I'M WATCHING THIS BRUV
It’s beautiful how it is Murdoc Who helps every single one of the others to climb up the lighthouse pinnacle and that’s why he fell on the ground and could not make it to the portal in time before 2D came back for him. 😭 He really has changed and is a better person now, that’s my hope at least. Let’s see what happened with the cult 🤘🏽
(I apologize for every possible mistake, english is not my first language)
when the lighthouse began to sink, Murdoc pulled each of them to its top, after which they were able to escape. this can be interpreted as the fact that Murdoc originally created their group and helped bands members to realize themselves and the fact that 2D returned for him and took him with, suggests that they didn't forget this and even after all terrible things that he did to them, they forgived him. It warms my heart.
I love you 😭😭
Honestly, this was incredibly shooting. The nostalgia of being back in plastic beach and seeing it get destroyed was so damn sad but at the same time i'm glad it happened. Plastic beach is my favourite album, not just from gorillaz, in general, plastic beach is my favorite album and it's kind of a part of me, so seeing that again was awesome. Seeing it getting destroyed is like closing a memory, and it means a lot to the lore, it would mean something like finally closing a dark age and starting again, with forgiveness. The fact that 2D saved Murdoc just makes me believe it even more.

@@abrilvallejoslarramendy694 yes
cyborg noodle leering at them as she sinks to the bottom of the ocean is always...oof
me: oh hell yeah we're back in plastic beach
leee john: NOT FOR LONG
It took over a decade but Plastic Beach finally got a proper ending...
And honestly I couldn't be happier with this melancholic wrap up 😩👌
*rip cyborg noodle
IT ALREADY DID (by a fan who made a fantastic recreation of Rhinestone Eyes)
Proper!?
Proper!?
@@knightwolf1363 they even got Gorillaz commenting on his vid!
FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT THEYD LEAVE MUDZ FOR DEAD 2D TRUELY HAS NO BAD BONE IN HIS BODY
WE LOVE OUR BABY 2DDDD
I GENUINELY WAS ABOUT TO CRY WHEN MURDOC *WAS* GOING TO BE LEFT BEHIND
@@OtisNotibrus I WAS CRYING BRO
i wAS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AT THAT MOMENT
Ikr, I was feeling bad af for Murdoc
This videos symbolism and message is beautiful but I couldn’t stop laughing at the laser eyed fish man 💀
Note: I think Murdocs growth was shown well in this because the old Murdoc would have jumped in the portal first yet he stayed to help everyone up and almost got left behind but 2D comes back for him because he knows he’s different and I just die it’s so well done and natural
I've been searching for this since 1968
Everyone: *looks over at plastic beach*
2D: "and thats when i started singing"
literally every mv
Kong Studios: "AM I JOKE TO YOU?"
You mean you don't know the lore?!! YOU DARE LISTEN AND WEAR THAT DISPLAY & name! :D
They had a interactive game'y website, where you could go inside Kong Studios!
2D is a Disney Princess
@@jessica5497 BAHAHAHA
2d for real just said "So anyways, I start singing"
Murdoc talking about Desole: I wasn't crying, my tear ducts dried up years ago
Murdoc now: Cries in front of camera
He cried because he saw cyborg noodle again after 20 years
@@TheAngelwings87 that and it looked like cyborg noodle was dead at that point so that could've made him shed a tear too
@@TheAngelwings87 he saw cyborg noodle dead :c which is worse
@@NECROMAGICIAN666 noodle was like : what the fuck why Is there a clone of me? "
@@TheAngelwings87 10 years - they were on Plastic Beach in 2010
I just realized, the way they got there and the way they left
It’s like… A WIZARD’S PORTAL
The fact it's base on plastic beach showed how far they came since phase 3
This was the best christmas i could ever ask for.
Probably murdoc's santa is krampus.
Lol yea
2-D: "Do you want to know something funny? Even after everything you've done, I would still save you."
🥺😭
"That is actually pretty funny"
@@hollow173 how
@@destineemarquez8934 would you like for me to explain the joke?
@@hollow173 no I get now
This song is a spiritual cleansing on my entire soul and spritual existence ,this song is a hug from a caring and loving friend during a difficult dark time ,this song is a sign that even though everything has been at worst it will get better
Im getting vibes on it

Fun little factoid, 2d is actually scared of whales
To be abused and tortured by murdoc for years, just to come back and save him from being alone and dying alone. 2D, I salute you.
This
Yes
Hit him some M O R E
Murdoc changed and they’re like 40 in this vid
murdoc said after he was got back from prison he was going to try and be a better person as an apology to 2-d.
i guess apology accepted.
