My brother and I are nearly 30 and found ourselves enjoying the creativity and whimsy of the series, thinking it was just "good content targeted at a younger demographic"... but then we hit this one and we cried for nearly two hours at King's backstory... holy crap man, that was incredible! Several days later and I'm still choking up just thinking about it; I can't remember the last time a story hit me that hard... thank you for your awesome work.
same, at first when I was like 11, this thing keeps popping up in my recommendation, though I didn't click it because I thought this is one of those cringe Monster School-like type videos, it bothers me that it won't get rid of it in my home page so I clicked it and hey, got into the lore of this. This finale though is so well mixed of emotion, this is just masterpiece.
And at the end all the loose ends are all tied up. Purple finds a father figure who cares for him and King Orange finds a son that he can care for. Win win.
I can't put into words how magnificent this masterpiece is. I'm talking about the whole series. Thanks Alan for offering us the possibility to watch such a beautiful series.
3 fav things 1. Herobrine appears to escort spider, skeleton, and enderman to class, then joins the fight 2. Pig eat mushroom at the end 3. Blue gets the item that started the chaos
All of this started with a single stick figure which was but a victim in Alan's eyes. To take such a simple idea and do something so grand with it is truly remarkable. It is a testament to your creativity and dedication that today, millions of people are witnessing this masterpiece unfold on their screens. Thank you to you and your team for giving us an epic tale to experience.
isnt yellow a prince? because hes the son of orange king (right?) so he would be a crown prince if the orange king is an actual king edit: after scrolling through the replies i think what happened is that the orange king is the yellow son who got stuck in the minecraft and the orange king is the son of the other orange person we see and he became a king in the minecraft realm and the yellow that we see with all the other stickfigures just originated from that stickfigure fighting house that alan made
I'm gonna miss this series so much.. almost 7 years since it all started when Orange stick figure picked up the Minecraft block, and so many brainstorming ideas came around. Not even Mojang can think of it! Thank you, Alan Becker. Edit: Jesus guys, I get that it may not be ending for good, but you never know when all good things come to an end eventually. Not all things last forever you know. Edit 2: Goddamn so many likes.. dunno if I'll bypass this current one anytime soon.. and can y'all calm down now?
Im not crying you're crying- But on a serious note, this whole series was an actual work of art. Actions speak louder than words, as they say, and the way Alan Becker described this entire story in such a moving way while using only movement is both inspirational and beautiful. The entire relationship between King and purple had me on the verge of tears so many times. The fact that they both lost the people most important to them, making them bitter to everyone until they found eachother and saw those people in eachother is so well written and expressed. (Unlike this sentance, haha) I've loved this series from the very very first episode, and I am more than pleased, impressed, shocked, and moved by how far it's come and how it ended. (On a side note, the true motive behind both King and Purples actions was a huge plot twist and view changer. At first I thought the only thing they were after was power, before we saw Kings backstory. By the end battle I didn't know who I was rooting for, until the Void scene occured. I thought he was trying to get his son back when in reality he was just talking out his anger on everything in his path, including the cause itself. Really poetic and again, absolutely stunning how this entire series has developed to this point!)
Tbf, KO had to study a game's mechanics outside of the game without any expert help. The villagers had an intuitive knowledge of the game's mechanics and the experience; all three were in Master skins.
Maybe, that is due to the fact that King orange was trying to create something outside of the minecraft world while villagers were creating it inside the minecraft world. So, king orange actually had to break physics for doing so.
Absolutely phenomenal as always, Alan! Your ability to tell such incredible and thought-provoking stories sheerly through your animations is a wonder to behold, it's content like yours that keeps me coming back to youtube.
The fact that the king was pretty much unstoppable at that point but switched sides at his own will (literally because of a change of heart) .That's honestly quite rare to see coming from a villain. And the fact that he's not just some kind of a dumb villain who gets wrecked after loses, he's very strong and intelligent. Literally everyone thought they had him down that one point but he's able to 1v11 with little power to get back the staff. Well written antagonist. Been here since the animator vs animation, it's just getting better
And that's not all. He's able to portray all of that personality without the involvement of speech in a character and that's saying something. Truly a well written antagonist indeed
Yea. In universe he seems to actually be kind of a genius considering all the stuff he did to make the staff and all, so he essentially worked up to being so undefeatable, which is even more impressive Just saying, King Orange probably could take on the chosen one n dark lord and win if he does some research on them beforehand
These characters have absolutely no facial features and yet the perfect choreography makes it SO easy to tell what way they're looking or what they're trying to express. Absolutely masterful.
Better than most multi-million dollar movies; what a crazy satisfying finale!! Not a single word of dialogue and yet I am sat here in complete emotional awe. The level of care put into this series... How on earth you were able to link back to so many old videos is beyond me. Incredible job by everyone involved!!!
I love how the King's origin story makes the audience initially think that his schemes are an attempt to bring his son back to life, but the scene in the Void makes it clear that it was about getting revenge on the thing that he blames for his son's death. 10/10 writing.
I think he tried getting his son back by destroying the game but in the end realized that in doing so he was just hurting so many beings and, if his son is still in there, also his son.
The idea that this entire series started with a lone stick figure and a dream would baffle my past self. The work you put in truly shows through the creation of a rich story and well written characters. I always tear up when watching things with well written characters and despite either being a long time fan or a new viewer, it shows how much effort one has put forward to create a work of art.
Honestly, I'll never forget how far this series has come from its original roots, and how much time, effort, and skill was poured into each and every single creation, but also the series as a whole. Hope that 2023 has more success and happiness for you, and for everyone also reading this.
The convergence of multiple storylines multiple times is better than what most movies can pull off. If I could see the real-time season 3 be made into a movie I would have definitely watched it in theaters. The soundtrack was absolutely amazing. Legit have it on my playlist while I play games.
This episode truly expresses Alan's talent as a story teller. No voices, not even facial expressions. Just music and movement was enough to make me cry this episode.
It’s crazy how these were originally small shorts and now they are small cinematic masterpieces longer than his older full length animations. Everytime you watch it you feel such emotion it’s just beautiful.
I can't put into words how fantastic this is. But I can try. King Orange's backstory is tragic and it really makes you feel for him and wish that that fateful day at the fair never happened. The fight is probably the most epic I've ever seen in all of fiction. Purple finally standing up to King Orange and King Orange realizing he cares a great deal for Purple is really sweet. The part where King Orange is in his house and realizing this isn't what Gold would've wanted is emotional, and it's satisfying to see him finally break through the wall that represents those traumatic memories and give Purple; who viewed King Orange as a father, a hug. And the final escape sequence is great as well, seeing the piglins help out and be willing to sacrifice themselves to get the Minecraft icons back to the PC to undo all the damage, which was shown to happen back in The Ultimate Weapon. And the ending consistently brings to to tears. 13/10 Alan. The Minecraft Movie could never. And don't even get me started on the score!
As soon as King Orange's son got deleted, I could see where this was going-- but was still on the edge of my seat the whole time. I like how both King Orange and Purple had to accept a resolution to their problem beyond the one they thought they wanted. Real life is like that. That's how character growth happens. Hats off to Alan and his team!
@@axquatil87 Honestly, it could be either. We don't have enough information to make any real conclusions now BUT...I will say Purple needed a father figure in his life that he could look up to and the Orange King needed someone who could bring out his adventurous/innocence again.
The story tells itself. This is why I think this is a cinematic masterpiece. A son without a father and father without a son. 27:51 broke me and I cannot get over it. This is a friendship I’ve never seen and this deserves an Oscar. And I think the absolute best part is how they don’t even talk like you said. I do not have the words to describe this masterpiece and if I ever saw Alan Becker in person, I could cry and thank him for showing such a beautiful story. So touching and moving. I cannot describe anything better than this episode. ❤
I never thought I'd cry to a story about stick figures... the story, the visuals, the music, the unique fight choreography, it all came together to make a masterful finale to this season. I just don't have good words to describe how much I loved this. Bravo, Alan Becker, bravo.
I thought the same when I started tearing up during the scene where Orange ran towards Purple in the void thing how can faceless voiceless drawings make you so emotional
The fact this story is driven entirely by actions alone, yet brings me to such emotional lengths, just speaks so clear about how amazing this series is.
The fact that this team was able to take stick figures in a block game and turn it into an absolute cinematic masterpiece really shows the sheer talent of everyone involved. Literally everything about this is perfect: the intricate plot with little subtilties, the animation on another level, the music that I need on Spotify right now, and even the tribute to Tecnoblade at the end, all without a single word of dialogue. This is truly a story for the ages.
It goes to show that you don’t need realistic animation to make a masterpiece. You just need a stick figure and some imagination. This is amazing. A real treat to watch
I cannot put what I'm feeling right now into words. This genuinely made me cry. This was the best finale possible for this season of one of my most cherished childhood series, and I can tell the heart and passion that have gone into it. Thank you, Alan and your whole team for bringing this experience to us, along with all the memories of this journey that we'll never forget. *Thank you.*
This series told a better story with a greater narriative than most stuff you can find nowadays It has really managed to tell a story of "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain" in one of the best forms possible. 7 years of absolute greatness, this is one of the best conclusions we could have gotten and I absolutely love it. Thank you for all of this, Alan.
Amazing plot and direction. Alan you really out did yourself this time. Even with no dialogue the actions and expressions of the characters speak volumes.
Who would’ve thought that a fun animation video from 6 years ago would span into such a cinematic series full of emotion as this one? Alan has outdone himself, and I’m sure everyone can agree. This has all been beautiful, and I am glad to be part of the audience that was able to experience it all. Thank you.
It's even longer than six years. Orange/The Second Coming originated from Animator vs. Animation IV, which in turn was an installment of the original Animator vs. Animation going all the way back to the year 2006. This has been over a decade and a half in the making.
I think I speak for everyone here, when I say that this series has been one of the best ever, and I don't think anything will ever give me such emotions with such a simplistic style, I love that you as a creator has never once turned sour, or gone for money. Or views.. you have given us your loyalty, and I and many, many others shall return the favor, thank you Alan for making this series, and thank you to everyone who has helped, or supported him through these times, every one of you are amazing, I am so glad I found this series when it first started and have been able to see it unfold.. thank you all for letting me live to see this, and live to love this.. you are all amazing beautiful people.. thank you all for your time.. please, keep supporting him.. he deserves every ounce of it.
Bro, they only asked you for a series of sticks. But you added background, a story, important new characters in later chapters, and excellent combat sequences. I like how without saying a single word you can explain so much. The chapters of musical worlds, the battles of who is the best at building... And when it all started, it was practically impossible to decipher what would bring us such content. Thanks.
The story of a father who lost his son. The story of a son who never knew his father. And the story to five friends who just wanted to have fun playing Minecraft. Thank You Alan, this series was a fun one, and I hope you make more like this.
Man, that scene where King Orange hugs Purple makes me cry. Every. Single. Time. There's just so much symbolism from the violin playing, to the fact that King Orange finally broke through the glass, and to break through the glass he had to break through the angry rage-and-revenge-fueled version of himself, and it was Purple on the other side of it instead of his son, and King's glass shards look like Purple's flower petals... I could go on. It's just so good. Oh yeah, and the fact that the melody from Purple's song in the previous episode plays when he's running towards King- just emphasizing how it mirrors the desperate struggle Purple's made to get to that father figure all his life- it makes my little musician brain explode with happiness. When I first watched that part, I recognized the melody instantly, and I pretty nearly screamed from excitement.
Guys, just a quick detail. If yall look at the time when King Orange threw knives at the minecraft poster. You can count FIVE. and guess what? Orange, Green, Red, Blue, Yellow. Could this have been a coincidence? I dunno. But still, a cool detail
So. This was an insane finale, referencing literally every episode that predates it. The final rush to get the block back to the desktop felt symbolic of them finally ending the story, much like how they did before, with everything they found and saw crumbling around them. The other thing I would like to note is how Alan managed to tie King Orange and Purple’s stories together, making them so similar to what the other lost. There is so many other moments and details that make this animation the peak of perfection. The animation is beautiful, the storytelling is creative, and it is easy to tell what is going on, all wrapped into one thirty minute episode. Insane job Alan, and the rest of the team.
I never thought that a stickman series would've brought tears to my eyes. The friendships through the journey, they all did something special. Alan, you hold so much potential and you didnt put any of it to waste.
This entire series has no dialogue. No facial expressions or detailed differences to show which characters are which, except colors and shapes. This is a beautiful story that is perfect in every way. No complaints at all. Thank you so much for all the hard work on this series Alan and the team. This is truly gorgeous
The way they sacrificed eachother to get the staff through the portal... That shows how much they wanted to normalize the world and how much they supported eachother. That's true friendship.
The king’s backstory was so awful. He lost something he cared about the most. He deserves all the hugs honestly. My dad recently died because of a shooting in a city, I loved him a lot so I literally threw a rock at the shooter in the head. I still hope that killed the shooter though. He deserved it honestly. Back to this animation, probably one of the most greatest animations I’ve seen yet. Keep up the work dude! :)
The season was structured like a Regular Show episode. Blue needs to fill his addiction, goes to nearest fortress to get his fix. Tomfoolery ensues. Few episode later, entire cast is fighting to prevent the destruction of the world. Beautiful.
i mean to be fair the king was gonna destroy minecraft anyway, so really, it was all started because the king let their kid enter the funny minecraft machine Moral of the story? Don't let your kids enter big machines after signing a waiver /j
and after that, orcube fell of an website and got in the youtubeverse portal, then he saw everybody in there dead after the youtuber minecraft hole sucked them and spitted them.
@@Greenpixel16 The Minecraft simulation was working well, problems started when the two programmers (blue and turquoise) were distracted (busy making out)
This story moved me to tears. The author conveyed as many emotions to the screen as more than one experienced director is unable to convey. I haven't cried for a long time, but here I was able to see everything.
The way Alan Becker is able to tell such a compelling, amazing story with his stick figures is so damn good. From the very worldbuilding design to the character development and backstories, Alan has somehow managed to make one of the very best stickman animated series on RUclips. Even though this is the finale, some part of me still hopes you'll continue making such a series (please do Alan!!)! I 💖 you and I hope that one day I'll be able to live up to you and your animations. Thank you for everything Alan Becker!!!
Telling a story with colored stickmans without a single word in a way that makes it impossible to hold back tears is definitely a skill that most directors in Hollywood can envy.
I don’t often cry when watching anything, movies, shows, whatever. But this is something else. To think I cried over a battle of stick figures, who, throughout their entire existence, have never spoken a single real word. This series is an absolute masterpiece, it takes “show don’t tell” to an entirely new level. Not only is the animation absolutely incredible, but the story is so poetic yet so simple. This is genuinely one of the best things I think I’ve ever seen on the internet. I remember watching Alan Becker’s animations for years, but this is genuinely something else. Thank you, Alan, and everyone else involved, you’ve created an absolute masterpiece. The only disappointing thing is that more people don’t know about this.
Honestly? Everything makes sense now. Without the crown, Dark Orange just looks like an aging father. He’s responsible by reviving the titan ravagers, he’s kind to everyone involved, and we can tell he’s getting older since his color is fading. The storytelling, the detail, and the overall effort put into this entire series is outstanding. You have outdone yourself, Alan.
i wanted to see orange get mad and do u remember when orange was fighting that one red dude who launched a virus on internet i wanted to see orange fight that king dude with that power it would be soo cool
*Jumbo Ravager, it states their name, alignment, rarity, biome spawn, etc. in the Minecraft mysteries book at 9:17. Honestly, impeccable detail. just sad that we couldn't read the pages in its entirety.
This was hands-down one of the greatest RUclips series ever created. The animation, storytelling, characters were so unbelievably incredible, and I never even considered the possibility of stick figures having such emotional scenes with such deep backstories until this series came to be. Alan and everyone on his team, the outstanding work here is undeniably and truly fucking awesome; I can't wait until more comes out!
I love that red is portrayed as by far the most courageous; he's the first one to get up to fight and the first person to charge at the king, and it looks like he willingly let Herobrine possess him. Man knows what needs to be done and he does it
Proud to say I'm a 23 year old man who was moved to full-on-face-streaming tears, by a Minecraft animation with stickmen who don't say anything. The recent episodes in the series are plainly incredible-- absolutely incredible pieces of storytelling. A perfect example of showing so much more than telling. Glad to have been on this ride since its beginning, and as much as I want more AVM shorts, I hope it's continued in a way that respects this episode being the finale to an epic story. Massive congrats to Alan and the team for sticking the landing.
I seriously started sobbing. The fact that Alan can make these incredibly animated and emotion packed videos out of stick figures is legitimately amazing. Thank you for giving us this amazing series.
It's amazing how you turned the story from some animated sticks on a windows homescreen to an epic battle in the Minecraft world. This series is by far the best animations I have ever seen. Thanks to all the people who were involved.
Great detail: At 15:45, purple is afflicted with 3 minutes of weakness and slowness, and is only able to rejoin the fight exactly 3 minutes later, to save red from a fall.
the goosebumps i got from 17:54 when herobrine went into red was so immense because of the first AvM animation. i had no idea who to root for in that moment
A finale that nearly brought tears to my eyes when few else can. I’ve grown to miss the villains who do not have a change of heart because of the heroes, but a villain who has a change of heart because he finally sees his actions for what they really are and chooses to make a desperate attempt to undo his sins. Human emotion can make a villain, but can change one all the same. To call it a “cop out” or “plot convenience” is a crime, it’s human, and it’s beautiful
This my friend is a masterpiece, it's also such a sad story, A father who despises the a game that took his son away, only to realize that he's truly killing the very thing his son loved, thus destroying his son in the process. But, he finally finds his son in another person. I love it Alan, thank you for creating an amazing series for us all. I hope to see more of content like this is the future episodes.
Calling this an epic finale doesn't do it justice. This series has always had jaw-dropping animation, but the final episode brings it to a whole new level. And an absolutely beautiful story to boot. I still can't believe a RUclips channel that started out as a hobby years ago is making better stuff than some of the biggest billion-dollar animation companies today.
Can we ever call the stay in though I mean there’s always gonna be something else something new so I don’t think this is the end but I also don’t think it’s the beginning it’s more like him 30 minutes into a movie
After 6 years, I still don't get tired of looking after seemingly just stick figures. It would seem that they are just stick figures, but after watching there are warm feelings, feelings of joy, a desire to find out what will happen next. Your skill grows as I grow, Alan. This part was really epic, a great end to the season. We are waiting for new episodes, thank you, Alan!
The fact that you had actual commands as the commands written on the staff is so bizarre. The attention to detail is amazing, and you deserve an award for this. Any award.
@DAVID APOLINARIO MGI Look at the section before the kid enters Minecraft and look at the screens. You can take a screenshot and zoom in more to look at the commands there and see how accurate they are.
17:36 I just *ADORE* how Herobrine comes in with this sense of power. This overwhelming force, that only seems to be a legend to some, has arrived to patch things up. Yet... The moment he sees that The King can absorb his Player Minions, he hesitates. He's seen backing up a bit. What was originally this symbol of power and fear turned heroic god, suddenly becomes noticeably afraid, a new feeling that's washes over him like a tidal wave. What once was an easy fight just turned for the worst, and you can see him just back up slightly. He'll fight, but not with the same confidence he just had. This is why I love Alan's animations so much, the details that you barely notice, yet improve the animation tenfold. Subtle references to previous entries to the series. Everything about these animations screams life into seemingly average and basic things such as Minecraft and Stickman animations.
Throughout Alan's 16 years of animating, This animation I'm seeing right now, out of all of his energies, is not only one of the best animations he's made but also one of the most poetic and inspiring stories I've ever seen. Alan's animation showed everyone a true example of a loving father. Many of you may wish you had orange as a father figure example, and some might like to say how entirely grateful you are in the love of God that you have a father. This animation was really sad. Thank you Alan.
I nearly cried in front of my parents because of a few stick figures. Alan Becker’s ability to Show Not Tell is something to behold and has been manifested in this amazing series and I commend him for it.
@@user-nl5ps4kl6h Dude, this may make you cringe but this is the equivalent of a game you liked in your childhood, this series has been through so much and seeing how it ends (I'm still not sure if it's the end or not) is something that It can hurt anyone, something you liked coming to a happy conclusion, it's just beautiful
I love how they slowly went from shorts, to 30m mini movies. 😢 This plot is better than half the movies in existence, and I can only hope Alan continues to give us these gifts.
Who would have thought that an animation of a stick figure fighting his animator so many years ago would have turned into such a beautiful story with fully fleshed out characters and backstories. The animation was a masterpiece for the ages, and you should be proud of yourself and your team for making such a well loved story. Take a good break, and we will be eagerly waiting for whatever comes next!
It´s crazy to think that this whole adventure started, because Blue wanted to get Nether wart (the red berries) and this video ends the same way it started in Episode 20. It also gave the viewers an amazing story and movie. Really good job Alan can´t wait to see what you will come up with next!
The death scene of Orange's son was one of the saddest things I've ever seen... how both of them tried so hard, so desperately to reach each other in their final moments together, only to be permanently separated by an unbreakable barrier, then pulled apart for all eternity. Everything in the scene is laid out incredibly well. I especially like the imagery of the short glass hallway, and actually seeing what happened to Gold as the simulation crashed with them inside it only makes it even more stunningly clear just what Orange must have felt afterward. Absolutely amazing.
18:03 Red: “If I had a penny for every time I got possessed by Herobrine, I’d have 2 pennies. It’s not that much but it’s weird that it happened twice”
At the end of the video, we get a Technoblade tribute, but I feel like we already have one in the form of King Orange. He wears a crown, he's a very competent fighter, he likes Pigstep, and he has piglin brutes(very strong humanoid pigs) as his minions. Also they both wanted to take down a community as revenge for what they did to their loved ones(for Techno, it was L'manburg for putting Philza under house arrest, and for the king, it was Minecraft as a whole for killing his son).
the fact that alan has been able to convey all these emotions without any dialogue is super impressive, this episode is one of his best works and it's crazy how far he's come since the original first episode, this series is just incredible.
22:40 a man who has eyes of revenge for the lost of his son, he doesn’t realize he has become the thing he truly hated. He took away alot of people, he realized. He has become his worst enemy. The moment he realized he tried to save purple just like he tried to with his son, he realized he made some memories with purple. Even without emotions or eyes or faces nor speech you can see how dedicated king orange is to save purple, Amazing details Alan. Real amazing, made me tear a bit.
Moral of the story: revenge isn't a good thing. I know revenge can be good. Though it's only gonna be good if you know what you're actually doing. Sometimes revenge can turn you into something that you hated the most. Or it might leave you to an existential crisis because you've done it. You wasted your time. Now you have no purpose. Vengeance can make you blind about what you're doing to yourself.
From a creative, cool-looking animation that went viral, to an entire series exploring various aspects of the game as well as tributes to numerous communities within it, while having an intriguing overarching storyline leaving everyone with each of their own theories, to a satisfactory ending, yet on a classic cliffhanger leaving the viewers wanting more... Everything about AVM is just perfect. Thank you Alan for creating part of my childhood, I'll definitely miss the series a ton :')
I don't really understand villains. I'm already a teenager and I think most villains need more complicated lore than just "Something bad happened to me, that's why I wanna kill everyone". It's so easy even as an adult to not be so avenging. I still idolize heroes because they hold a message, nit just a story
@@theriddled214 Thank you for expressing my thoughts so well. I appreciate the message of the story, but I'm also really tired of "sympathetic" villains.
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Oh? Did you think I meant only this video? No… no I did not… I mean the entire channel… not just this video, all of it… also, the foreshadowing towards orange’s future is amazing…
Not a single word can describe this absolute masterpiece. This series began from simple shenanigans to a whole arc that ended in a blast, all of that with characters that cannot speak yet manage to express themselves, truly a work of art.
What an amazing way to tie all the loose nots and finally end this rollercoaster of a series. From the start there was a sort of mystery surrounding the two main “antagonist” of these shorts and the fact that we get such a perfect ending for both of them is amazing. Someone who lost his son who finds someone similar to love and a child stripped of his father’s love finds someone who he can actually call his father is just such a Disney level ending that it nearly brought me to tears just watching it for the first time. They story, the animation, the sheer length. It Truly is just a masterpiece. Plus the way everyone becomes friends and finds their own happy endings is just. God.

Hi alan
Whoa, that's fast.
Hello Alan
Nice. I almost cried with this animation. that was awesome, congrats Alan.
My brother and I are nearly 30 and found ourselves enjoying the creativity and whimsy of the series, thinking it was just "good content targeted at a younger demographic"... but then we hit this one and we cried for nearly two hours at King's backstory... holy crap man, that was incredible! Several days later and I'm still choking up just thinking about it; I can't remember the last time a story hit me that hard... thank you for your awesome work.
woah thats a lot of money :o thx for supporting alan
Cool
And so you donated two hundred dollars.
same, at first when I was like 11, this thing keeps popping up in my recommendation, though I didn't click it because I thought this is one of those cringe Monster School-like type videos, it bothers me that it won't get rid of it in my home page so I clicked it and hey, got into the lore of this. This finale though is so well mixed of emotion, this is just masterpiece.
Dude you are amazing for writing this and donating.
A son chasing after a father that never cared and a father who chased after a son he cared for so much... Absolutely poetic, Alan. I'm crying.
That confused me a little
And at the end all the loose ends are all tied up. Purple finds a father figure who cares for him and King Orange finds a son that he can care for. Win win.

Thank you to you and your team for giving us an epic tale to experience.
isnt yellow a prince? because hes the son of orange king (right?) so he would be a crown prince if the orange king is an actual king
edit: after scrolling through the replies i think what happened is that the orange king is the yellow son who got stuck in the minecraft and the orange king is the son of the other orange person we see and he became a king in the minecraft realm and the yellow that we see with all the other stickfigures just originated from that stickfigure fighting house that alan made

I'm gonna miss this series so much.. almost 7 years since it all started when Orange stick figure picked up the Minecraft block, and so many brainstorming ideas came around. Not even Mojang can think of it!
Thank you, Alan Becker.

I dont think the series is gonna end. This is just a season finale
@Elevate Normal the description says "season finale"
fucking honored to be the 3rd reply here
Im not crying you're crying-
But on a serious note, this whole series was an actual work of art. Actions speak louder than words, as they say, and the way Alan Becker described this entire story in such a moving way while using only movement is both inspirational and beautiful. The entire relationship between King and purple had me on the verge of tears so many times. The fact that they both lost the people most important to them, making them bitter to everyone until they found eachother and saw those people in eachother is so well written and expressed. (Unlike this sentance, haha) I've loved this series from the very very first episode, and I am more than pleased, impressed, shocked, and moved by how far it's come and how it ended.
(On a side note, the true motive behind both King and Purples actions was a huge plot twist and view changer. At first I thought the only thing they were after was power, before we saw Kings backstory. By the end battle I didn't know who I was rooting for, until the Void scene occured. I thought he was trying to get his son back when in reality he was just talking out his anger on everything in his path, including the cause itself. Really poetic and again, absolutely stunning how this entire series has developed to this point!)

This comment isn't old...
...BUT ITS SO TRUE! 🤣
Tbf, KO had to study a game's mechanics outside of the game without any expert help. The villagers had an intuitive knowledge of the game's mechanics and the experience; all three were in Master skins.
Maybe, that is due to the fact that King orange was trying to create something outside of the minecraft world while villagers were creating it inside the minecraft world. So, king orange actually had to break physics for doing so.
Absolutely phenomenal as always, Alan! Your ability to tell such incredible and thought-provoking stories sheerly through your animations is a wonder to behold, it's content like yours that keeps me coming back to youtube.

The fact that the king was pretty much unstoppable at that point but switched sides at his own will (literally because of a change of heart) .That's honestly quite rare to see coming from a villain. And the fact that he's not just some kind of a dumb villain who gets wrecked after loses, he's very strong and intelligent. Literally everyone thought they had him down that one point but he's able to 1v11 with little power to get back the staff. Well written antagonist.
Been here since the animator vs animation, it's just getting better
He reminds me of Thanos
And that's not all. He's able to portray all of that personality without the involvement of speech in a character and that's saying something. Truly a well written antagonist indeed
Yea. In universe he seems to actually be kind of a genius considering all the stuff he did to make the staff and all, so he essentially worked up to being so undefeatable, which is even more impressive
Just saying, King Orange probably could take on the chosen one n dark lord and win if he does some research on them beforehand

I was checking this series after watching all of AVA to catch up and was suprised to see a familiar logo
Just another proof that AVM and AVA are in the same timeline
@AnowerRokon Nah, I dont think thats the case, otherwise yellow probrobly wouldve used his command block on a stick in "The box" episode
I love how the King's origin story makes the audience initially think that his schemes are an attempt to bring his son back to life, but the scene in the Void makes it clear that it was about getting revenge on the thing that he blames for his son's death. 10/10 writing.
I thought that he was just beating the world and not that he wants to take revenge on him
I think he tried getting his son back by destroying the game but in the end realized that in doing so he was just hurting so many beings and, if his son is still in there, also his son.

@@iamengie2573 Can you please elaborate?
@@veselinborisov369 story just was not that well I didn’t think it would fit for orange to have a son and that ruined him in the end
The idea that this entire series started with a lone stick figure and a dream would baffle my past self. The work you put in truly shows through the creation of a rich story and well written characters. I always tear up when watching things with well written characters and despite either being a long time fan or a new viewer, it shows how much effort one has put forward to create a work of art.

Honestly, I'll never forget how far this series has come from its original roots, and how much time, effort, and skill was poured into each and every single creation, but also the series as a whole. Hope that 2023 has more success and happiness for you, and for everyone also reading this.

I can't put into words how fantastic this is. But I can try. King Orange's backstory is tragic and it really makes you feel for him and wish that that fateful day at the fair never happened. The fight is probably the most epic I've ever seen in all of fiction. Purple finally standing up to King Orange and King Orange realizing he cares a great deal for Purple is really sweet. The part where King Orange is in his house and realizing this isn't what Gold would've wanted is emotional, and it's satisfying to see him finally break through the wall that represents those traumatic memories and give Purple; who viewed King Orange as a father, a hug. And the final escape sequence is great as well, seeing the piglins help out and be willing to sacrifice themselves to get the Minecraft icons back to the PC to undo all the damage, which was shown to happen back in The Ultimate Weapon. And the ending consistently brings to to tears. 13/10 Alan. The Minecraft Movie could never. And don't even get me started on the score!
"The Minecraft Movie could never" I'd bet they don't get half the views or review as AvM
As soon as King Orange's son got deleted, I could see where this was going-- but was still on the edge of my seat the whole time. I like how both King Orange and Purple had to accept a resolution to their problem beyond the one they thought they wanted. Real life is like that. That's how character growth happens. Hats off to Alan and his team!
thought it was his little brother
@@axquatil87 Honestly, it could be either. We don't have enough information to make any real conclusions now BUT...I will say Purple needed a father figure in his life that he could look up to and the Orange King needed someone who could bring out his adventurous/innocence again.

Remember guys, absolutely no words have been said throughout this entire series. Yet somehow, this is still so very emotional.
The story tells itself. This is why I think this is a cinematic masterpiece. A son without a father and father without a son. 27:51 broke me and I cannot get over it. This is a friendship I’ve never seen and this deserves an Oscar. And I think the absolute best part is how they don’t even talk like you said. I do not have the words to describe this masterpiece and if I ever saw Alan Becker in person, I could cry and thank him for showing such a beautiful story. So touching and moving. I cannot describe anything better than this episode. ❤

I thought the same when I started tearing up during the scene where Orange ran towards Purple in the void thing how can faceless voiceless drawings make you so emotional

Man, that scene where King Orange hugs Purple makes me cry. Every. Single. Time. There's just so much symbolism from the violin playing, to the fact that King Orange finally broke through the glass, and to break through the glass he had to break through the angry rage-and-revenge-fueled version of himself, and it was Purple on the other side of it instead of his son, and King's glass shards look like Purple's flower petals... I could go on. It's just so good.
Oh yeah, and the fact that the melody from Purple's song in the previous episode plays when he's running towards King- just emphasizing how it mirrors the desperate struggle Purple's made to get to that father figure all his life- it makes my little musician brain explode with happiness. When I first watched that part, I recognized the melody instantly, and I pretty nearly screamed from excitement.

Guys, just a quick detail. If yall look at the time when King Orange threw knives at the minecraft poster. You can count FIVE. and guess what? Orange, Green, Red, Blue, Yellow. Could this have been a coincidence? I dunno. But still, a cool detail
So.
This was an insane finale, referencing literally every episode that predates it. The final rush to get the block back to the desktop felt symbolic of them finally ending the story, much like how they did before, with everything they found and saw crumbling around them. The other thing I would like to note is how Alan managed to tie King Orange and Purple’s stories together, making them so similar to what the other lost.
There is so many other moments and details that make this animation the peak of perfection. The animation is beautiful, the storytelling is creative, and it is easy to tell what is going on, all wrapped into one thirty minute episode. Insane job Alan, and the rest of the team.

This story moved me to tears. The author conveyed as many emotions to the screen as more than one experienced director is unable to convey. I haven't cried for a long time, but here I was able to see everything.
The way Alan Becker is able to tell such a compelling, amazing story with his stick figures is so damn good. From the very worldbuilding design to the character development and backstories, Alan has somehow managed to make one of the very best stickman animated series on RUclips. Even though this is the finale, some part of me still hopes you'll continue making such a series (please do Alan!!)!
I 💖 you and I hope that one day I'll be able to live up to you and your animations. Thank you for everything Alan Becker!!!
Telling a story with colored stickmans without a single word in a way that makes it impossible to hold back tears is definitely a skill that most directors in Hollywood can envy.
I don’t often cry when watching anything, movies, shows, whatever. But this is something else. To think I cried over a battle of stick figures, who, throughout their entire existence, have never spoken a single real word. This series is an absolute masterpiece, it takes “show don’t tell” to an entirely new level. Not only is the animation absolutely incredible, but the story is so poetic yet so simple. This is genuinely one of the best things I think I’ve ever seen on the internet. I remember watching Alan Becker’s animations for years, but this is genuinely something else.
Thank you, Alan, and everyone else involved, you’ve created an absolute masterpiece. The only disappointing thing is that more people don’t know about this.

A finale that nearly brought tears to my eyes when few else can. I’ve grown to miss the villains who do not have a change of heart because of the heroes, but a villain who has a change of heart because he finally sees his actions for what they really are and chooses to make a desperate attempt to undo his sins. Human emotion can make a villain, but can change one all the same. To call it a “cop out” or “plot convenience” is a crime, it’s human, and it’s beautiful
unfortunately, I'm crying, I'm not sweating through my eyes.
This my friend is a masterpiece, it's also such a sad story, A father who despises the a game that took his son away, only to realize that he's truly killing the very thing his son loved, thus destroying his son in the process. But, he finally finds his son in another person. I love it Alan, thank you for creating an amazing series for us all. I hope to see more of content like this is the future episodes.
Calling this an epic finale doesn't do it justice. This series has always had jaw-dropping animation, but the final episode brings it to a whole new level. And an absolutely beautiful story to boot. I still can't believe a RUclips channel that started out as a hobby years ago is making better stuff than some of the biggest billion-dollar animation companies today.
Fr!
Alan literally solos most of the newer films Marvel has released (just my opinion, I love anything that makes me shed a tear)
this is just so sad
Can we ever call the stay in though I mean there’s always gonna be something else something new so I don’t think this is the end but I also don’t think it’s the beginning it’s more like him 30 minutes into a movie
This is able to make a grown man cry
After 6 years, I still don't get tired of looking after seemingly just stick figures. It would seem that they are just stick figures, but after watching there are warm feelings, feelings of joy, a desire to find out what will happen next. Your skill grows as I grow, Alan. This part was really epic, a great end to the season. We are waiting for new episodes, thank you, Alan!
The fact that you had actual commands as the commands written on the staff is so bizarre. The attention to detail is amazing, and you deserve an award for this. Any award.
@DAVID APOLINARIO MGI
Look at the section before the kid enters Minecraft and look at the screens.
You can take a screenshot and zoom in more to look at the commands there and see how accurate they are.
Any award hmmm🤔🤔
Grammy award for animation 😉😇
😊 13:04 13:06 ❤🎉
@DAVID APOLINARIO MGI yeah
Even that command block staff, lol.
I never usually feel sad over sad stuff in shows or movies but the entire episode made me wanna cry because of the backstory and king orange’s life😢
This guy can do better storytelling than most anime or drama with longer episodes and with no words being said. Absolutely spectacular

@Alan Becker must install Minecraft Mods.
Damn so true
Longer run time overall and facial expression as well
No faces too

I just *ADORE* how Herobrine comes in with this sense of power. This overwhelming force, that only seems to be a legend to some, has arrived to patch things up. Yet... The moment he sees that The King can absorb his Player Minions, he hesitates. He's seen backing up a bit. What was originally this symbol of power and fear turned heroic god, suddenly becomes noticeably afraid, a new feeling that's washes over him like a tidal wave. What once was an easy fight just turned for the worst, and you can see him just back up slightly. He'll fight, but not with the same confidence he just had. This is why I love Alan's animations so much, the details that you barely notice, yet improve the animation tenfold. Subtle references to previous entries to the series. Everything about these animations screams life into seemingly average and basic things such as Minecraft and Stickman animations.
Couldn’t have said it better
A way to say it simply: Alan is the best animator I have known to this day. 😊
@@mythicstar047 True that.
@@mythicstar047 W opinion
Herobrine is soo good but couldn't handle the kings powers
Throughout Alan's 16 years of animating, This animation I'm seeing right now, out of all of his energies, is not only one of the best animations he's made but also one of the most poetic and inspiring stories I've ever seen. Alan's animation showed everyone a true example of a loving father. Many of you may wish you had orange as a father figure example, and some might like to say how entirely grateful you are in the love of God that you have a father. This animation was really sad. Thank you Alan.
This ep is emotional
This ep was very emotional
4:20 through 5:00 had me crying 😢
I nearly cried in front of my parents because of a few stick figures. Alan Becker’s ability to Show Not Tell is something to behold and has been manifested in this amazing series and I commend him for it.
@@user-nl5ps4kl6h🤓
SAME
@@user-nl5ps4kl6h bro seriously I cry
bro i did too. his storytelling power is somthing else
@@user-nl5ps4kl6h Dude, this may make you cringe but this is the equivalent of a game you liked in your childhood, this series has been through so much and seeing how it ends (I'm still not sure if it's the end or not) is something that It can hurt anyone, something you liked coming to a happy conclusion, it's just beautiful
I love how they slowly went from shorts, to 30m mini movies. 😢 This plot is better than half the movies in existence, and I can only hope Alan continues to give us these gifts.
It had me tearing
almost as good as killer bean forever
and thats a compliment
not long ago but i saw a YT comment saying that in a discord server, someone said that alan becker is thinking to make a new series of something
@@No-san YES.
Who would have thought that an animation of a stick figure fighting his animator so many years ago would have turned into such a beautiful story with fully fleshed out characters and backstories. The animation was a masterpiece for the ages, and you should be proud of yourself and your team for making such a well loved story. Take a good break, and we will be eagerly waiting for whatever comes next!
I just realized if you look at the top of the tv here, 10:08 there's the rocket logo, that's a cool detail.
It´s crazy to think that this whole adventure started, because Blue wanted to get Nether wart (the red berries) and this video ends the same way it started in Episode 20. It also gave the viewers an amazing story and movie. Really good job Alan can´t wait to see what you will come up with next!
Ya lol and King oranges son dying
The death scene of Orange's son was one of the saddest things I've ever seen... how both of them tried so hard, so desperately to reach each other in their final moments together, only to be permanently separated by an unbreakable barrier, then pulled apart for all eternity. Everything in the scene is laid out incredibly well. I especially like the imagery of the short glass hallway, and actually seeing what happened to Gold as the simulation crashed with them inside it only makes it even more stunningly clear just what Orange must have felt afterward. Absolutely amazing.
I don't know why to me he seems more like a brother than a father
Shouldn’t have used bedrock edition
oh yeah, now that you mention it
king orange is taller which implies that he is probably an adult, and the rest of the gang are teenagers?
Wait, his son died? I thought he just got trapped in the game
I aggre
18:03 Red: “If I had a penny for every time I got possessed by Herobrine, I’d have 2 pennies. It’s not that much but it’s weird that it happened twice”

True
@@Yolk-u5n erm actually its from phineas and ferb
3 times now
@@aperry2013 wait what...
At the end of the video, we get a Technoblade tribute, but I feel like we already have one in the form of King Orange. He wears a crown, he's a very competent fighter, he likes Pigstep, and he has piglin brutes(very strong humanoid pigs) as his minions. Also they both wanted to take down a community as revenge for what they did to their loved ones(for Techno, it was L'manburg for putting Philza under house arrest, and for the king, it was Minecraft as a whole for killing his son).
yes 😢
the fact that alan has been able to convey all these emotions without any dialogue is super impressive, this episode is one of his best works and it's crazy how far he's come since the original first episode, this series is just incredible.
The fact that he can do it without facial expressions is what's more impressive to me
ok...
@@goober_985 alr fair enough
@@AlexanderofThebes yeah that's also amazing
After 1 year, I finaly noticed it. When the king orange sets his crown on top of pigs head, it reminds something to me.
"Technoblade Never Die!"
I know right I was looking for this comment
It's great of how Alan managed to leave some unread Easter Eggs that not many people notice, but have many meanings! R.I.P. Techno!
🫡
Couldn't said it better
Technoblade never dies, until the internet dies to
Amen to that 🫡
22:40 a man who has eyes of revenge for the lost of his son, he doesn’t realize he has become the thing he truly hated. He took away alot of people, he realized. He has become his worst enemy. The moment he realized he tried to save purple just like he tried to with his son, he realized he made some memories with purple. Even without emotions or eyes or faces nor speech you can see how dedicated king orange is to save purple, Amazing details Alan. Real amazing, made me tear a bit.
Me: eyes pouring
1:27 moments before disaster..
Moral of the story: revenge isn't a good thing. I know revenge can be good. Though it's only gonna be good if you know what you're actually doing. Sometimes revenge can turn you into something that you hated the most. Or it might leave you to an existential crisis because you've done it. You wasted your time. Now you have no purpose. Vengeance can make you blind about what you're doing to yourself.
@@TGWA101 agreed
I teared up too the first time I saw this :) this is the most amazing minecraft series I have ever seen
Thank you so much for this video… this series took so long yet ended as a happy ending… im crying. I thank you again for this wonderful masterpiece❤❤❤
From a creative, cool-looking animation that went viral, to an entire series exploring various aspects of the game as well as tributes to numerous communities within it, while having an intriguing overarching storyline leaving everyone with each of their own theories, to a satisfactory ending, yet on a classic cliffhanger leaving the viewers wanting more... Everything about AVM is just perfect.
Thank you Alan for creating part of my childhood, I'll definitely miss the series a ton :')
me too
totally agree with ya: he made a masterpiece
me too
Season finale not series so that's some good news
@@nostalgiaguy3902this certainly feels like the end of the main story. We’ll probably get more shorts like the ones in the first episodes though
As kids, we idolize heroes,
As adults, we understand villains.
Nice quotes
Noice
that’s actually wise
I don't really understand villains. I'm already a teenager and I think most villains need more complicated lore than just "Something bad happened to me, that's why I wanna kill everyone".
It's so easy even as an adult to not be so avenging. I still idolize heroes because they hold a message, nit just a story
@@theriddled214 Thank you for expressing my thoughts so well. I appreciate the message of the story, but I'm also really tired of "sympathetic" villains.
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Oh? Did you think I meant only this video? No… no I did not… I mean the entire channel… not just this video, all of it… also, the foreshadowing towards orange’s future is amazing…
Not a single word can describe this absolute masterpiece. This series began from simple shenanigans to a whole arc that ended in a blast, all of that with characters that cannot speak yet manage to express themselves, truly a work of art.
Lol not a single word was used
You are right. Not a single "word", but didn't mention actions, music, flashbacks, fights, etc.
What an amazing way to tie all the loose nots and finally end this rollercoaster of a series. From the start there was a sort of mystery surrounding the two main “antagonist” of these shorts and the fact that we get such a perfect ending for both of them is amazing. Someone who lost his son who finds someone similar to love and a child stripped of his father’s love finds someone who he can actually call his father is just such a Disney level ending that it nearly brought me to tears just watching it for the first time. They story, the animation, the sheer length. It Truly is just a masterpiece.
Plus the way everyone becomes friends and finds their own happy endings is just. God.
28:25 Herobrine got sent back in the most cartoonish way possible it actually made me chuckle.
and I said "bro, what the hel"
He was like: "Why are we still here... just to suffer..."
Straight up wooden box.
