    • @Rinof10
      @Rinof10 20 days ago +157

      ​@Hawkatana Technically not a mimic, but I can see how it could be confused for one. The Sarracenia Suburbia is a large carnivorous plant-like creature. Weak to sunlight and extreme temperatures, it itself doesn't transform but pulls from its environment to create a husk to shield itself during the day.

    • @Depressed_Spider
      @Depressed_Spider 20 days ago +38

      I have heard that casinos might actually rush you out when you're on a lucky streak, because they want you to leave on a high note and in believe that you can actually make money there and beat the system. They know you will be back. They know that they win in the long run. Now go tell your friends about the good time you had there.

    • @MeloniestNeon
      @MeloniestNeon 20 days ago +359

      The difference in the characters' levels is such a neat detail, it really shows how much restraint and respect Brolly has too when he could easily just body Karoto with ease and drag him back. Instead he's trying to genuinely help him improve, and I find that a way more interesting dynamic than the alternative!

      Even as someone who doesn't need it 99% of the time, I greatly appreciate it.
      Nothing more annoying than when RUclipsrs put text boxes up for about 2 seconds and you didn't realise you were supposed to pause to read it, so you gotta roll back.

    • @Tuen9
      @Tuen9 17 days ago +28

      @DragonNexus Then, once you get into the habit of pausing a bunch, SOME of the text will be on screen for 2 minutes. You'll pause, read, unpause... then wait.
      So yeah, the progress bars are outstanding. You only pause if you feel you're about to run out of time!

    So funny mention on post credit scene
    It said there was x2 tents in inventory, but we saw three in the scene, so one was a mimic, very clever
    Also great episode

      I probably should have put that together, but my mind for some reason assumed they all "had" tents, but you can only make as many working as your inventory has.

    • @BlitzkriegOmega
      @BlitzkriegOmega 20 days ago +349

      I just sorta assumed that Brolly's tent came from his own inventory, but Karoto was right to be paranoid.

    • @heyoyo10gaming4
      @heyoyo10gaming4 20 days ago +28

      Which is ironic, because it turned out that Karoto wasn't being too tense about using it

      @TheMegaMarshtomp 20 days ago +87

      I saw Tent x2 and was concerned that they didn't bring enough Tents, but then there were 3 tents around the campfire.
      I have to admit, it took me several seconds to put two and two together.

  • @omenrooknotions
    @omenrooknotions 21 day ago +7210

    This is what success looks like to me. Not money, not fame, not power, but having the freedom and support to spread your own insane ideas to the world. This guy went from 5 minute parodies of games to being able to produce his own animated series in the span of a few years, and that’s insane. It seems his quest in life has been anything but fruitless.

    Nabiu having a bunch of locks on her door is a great way to show that despite her naive-ness she still understands how to be safe in the real world

    • @gryphonstern
      @gryphonstern 20 days ago +73

      At the risk of sounding like ☝️🤓, the noun form of naive is naivete (pronounced naive-eh-tay). Or naivety if you want to sound less French.

      @MythicMachina Nabiu has "little guy syndrome," which often elicits he/him pronoun usage from spectators.

    • @cgkase6210
      @cgkase6210 19 days ago +45

      Not only that, but it also lends to the idea of the party not being together when they get attacked. Karoto wasn't going to be able to easily get through seven locks if Nabiu got attacked by the furniture either

      the question is, did they keep any of it?
      There's a 20 kromid gift card in Nabiu's inventory, so it looks like the money may have been fake, especially since it was in a currency they'd never heard of at an impossible exchange rate.

    • @Crepusculo-f8o

    I like that brolly turned to look at karoto’s stats as he leveled up, I believe that he’s aware karo is lying but still genuinely believes his friend can change- especially with that +10 heroism- indicating he is starting to in small part become genuinely heroic, even if he is still being deceitful.

    • @MrCat-zz5eo
      @MrCat-zz5eo 20 days ago +38

      Mine was the ambient storytelling behind how the heck the Sarracenia snuck into the now-ruined town: we see in the last act that a pirate ship is part of the town, suggesting that the ship was the initial vector for infection, and since the Sarracenia spread out from that ship, it quickly assimilated the town... and Parasite Eve'd everyone.
      ...man Nabiu is gonna be horrified when realizing the implications of this creature.

    • @nalasprincessworld4670

    • @ZachAttack6089
      @ZachAttack6089 16 days ago +8

      ​@MrCat-zz5eo I don't think the Sarracenia took over an existing town, because Nabiu mentions that the town wasn't on the map. I'm guessing it just took a bunch of abandoned buildings to use as a disguise. But in either case I suppose it's not really clear how it got there. 🤷‍♂️

      ​​@MrCat-zz5eo19:07 I don't think they're zombies, I think they're just extensions of the creature, which is stated to be a plant, that are badly mimicking people.
      As for how it got there, I don't think it's a complicated story. We know there wasn't originally a town there, the sarracencia plopped itself down on Mouswhisker territory. I think it got the architecture from an existing town, and just wanders looking for empty plots of land to disguise itself on.

    @Xindaris 20 days ago +787

    I'm so, SO happy this series is continuing.
    I love how, among the myriad evidence that the town isn't right, is the fact that the dialogue "feels" LLM generated, with a template and "next token" blank being filled in, and the text on signs and things has that "almost but not quite real text" look like text from a diffusion-based image generator. It immediately conveys the sense that the heroes are dealing with something that mimics intelligence and civilization instead of actually having it. And it's a great detail how the "people" who are really just parts of the monster are using umbrellas because it's weak to sunlight.
    Interestingly, the cloak Karoto got from the town seems to spawn specifically carrot-like monsters out of it when it finally goes bad.

I just love the little details in this series =)

  • @rafa_d_vieira
    @rafa_d_vieira 20 days ago +513

    Brolly has appeared for less than half of an episode, and already he’s my favorite character. The subversion of expectations was masterful; seeing a menacing looking royal guard, gigantic in stature, face covered by a helmet, with red eyes and a deep voice, who 5 minutes later we learn is Karoto’s parole officer and wants to genuinely help him be a better person and get rid of his charges, protecting Nabiu without a second though (and Karoto, albeit reluctantly), listening to her plans and adapting accordingly, and being a general badass, but a kind one. Also the fact that he joins Nabiu’s party without even a second thought is pretty funny, and I hope he becomes a permanent member of the party.
    Also, and this is just me theorizing, but what if the reason Brolly wants to help Karoto so much is because they were maybe… childhood friends? Maybe they had similar goals as kids, to help others, and protect the Broccoli Kingdom, but, for some reason, their paths diverged, and Karoto had to resort to a life of crime, while his friend had to watch, unable to help… just a theory :)

All these little details are just amazing, and shows how much care and attention was put into this

      I would also like to mention that the bosses seem to incorporate disguising yourself as a particular scenery you would see in a JRPG. In part 1, it is the sweet old grandma living in the woods. In part 2, it is an irrelevant city with a gimmick (in this case, everybody is masked and there is a casino).

    Idk but my favorite joke is just nabiu asking “ what is it” and Karo answering “looks like a four” as a bright light engulfs them.

      Fr, if Brolly went more on offense rather than defense he probably could've twisted that mimic into a pretzel.
      Nice of him to let Karo and Nabiu get some hits in.

    lots of things i love about this since watching the previous ep
    Everything about this is a love letter to 80s to 2000's rpg games
    - the loading text bubbles
    - Treasuresaurus Rex being an enemy that rewrds high money but runs away- seriously, the best monster I HAVE EVER SEEN
    - Mimic tentacles saying random npc lines that ignore Nabiu actual question
    - gambling casino is probably a reference to dragon quest
    - Action buttons like in paper mario
    - Brolly not getting that much exp. shows how powerful he is
    I cant wait to see more, I can wait as long as you can cook

    19:30 this man Brolly is such a tank that he uses a tent might as well be a blanket. He was able to fire a cannon with one arm by the fuse. Im sure the friction from his pure strength alone just lit the cannon and fired immediately. Speaking of which this man was on 5 hp and 3 stamina left at the end stats. He should basically be crawling. I feel like describing Brolly would be like those chuck norris jokes.

    One small detail I really like is that Karoto still responds to Nabi when she's going on a super technical tangent in a way that shows he's still listening even if he clearly has other things he's focusing on.

    • @staysilent4392
      @staysilent4392 20 days ago +24

      I don't think it can be defined as a jump scare.
      It's more of a reveal.
      No loud sudden sound or a fast sudden movement, which would make it a jumpscare by definition.
      But I personally really like it. I could tell something was off too (it was pretty obvious), but I thought it would be vampires that would steal everything back in the night.

  • @gremlinzon3
    @gremlinzon3 10 days ago +7

    Although this series has peak comedy moments in each scene. i absolutely love how intense the boss fight with the mimic was, the way karoto was fighting to breath as smoke filled the shipwreck and he was getting dragged away from their only weapon screaming in terror was so good. Especially the anticipation building as he fumbles to reach the lock holding the cannon in place the pay off works so well. Crossing my fingers there will an eventual ep 3!

    15:45 Karoto's got some STRENGTH to his voice to be able to scream that loudly at that distance! That, or they're able to communicate pseudo-telepathically with dialogue (which given how level up stats and similar UI elements can be seen by other characters, that very well could be a world mechanic at play)

    I like how you have a light RPG-mechanics motif going with the three characters:
    Nabiu- JRPG (subject to hard stats, powerful, one-off abilities and rigidly sticks to her mage class IE: Dragonquest)
    Karoto- Western RPG (Dice rolling, improvisation, and doesn't adhere too close to any archetype currently, IE: Elder Scrolls)
    Brolly- ARPG (No dice or stats at all, gear-focused, and has deliberate, thoughtful attacks IE: Dark Souls)
