Rayman went from beloved icon to a toon who has been scarred for life by one event.
Also from.the lack of event's
Yes. Those Rabbids would make me wanna do the same thing If i was stuck with them.
Not knowing he turned a blind eye to the enslaved hybrid. Which kinda sad they didn’t use the game continuity since he was enslaved by robo-pirates in Rayman 2 and the rabbids in raving rabbids.
Reflux, rabbids, the knaaren,,
@@bearerofbadnews1375 Well it more of a re-take on Ubisoft Characters, Than being there OG self.
to be honest I'd roll my eyes at any other innocent character turning dark but with Rayman and in this context it makes sense
I mean hey. This is what 10 years without a proper game will do to you.
honestly it makes sense with him.
He came from world where good and evil was very , easy to distinguish. So him seperated from his friends, being trapped in world of manipulation, where its very hard to distinguish law from oppression. He saw people going to work, families playing together he thought things are safe...There were no space pirates or hodlums trying to conquer the world.....
When he became popular ego got him and make him more short sighted....
Deadass think about it he got replaced by some rabbits
@@jacek107ify it literally took that clicking to me for me to understand it.
He was a hero of his world, created to protect it ,and it was a goofy, silly world where evil was obvious and was goofy too.
And.... he is literally the only character here that IS in fact, from another dimension.
Know what you think about it if you put any cartoon character in a realistic or horror movie film. The whole Experiencing did will change making them hard to believe what's good and evil and between what right and wrong.
rayman getting replaced by an ai/clone is extremely topical and hilarious
AI voice and the rabbids be like. 😒
aye mate. still afraid of my nipples?
Or maybe it's dark Rayman from the first ?
That Rayman double is one of the creepier things about this show. I mean... where did he come from? And why does he look and sound exactly like the original?
Basically what ubisoft would do :)
That "Most replayed" feature is really something, huh?
i thought this was fake at first
that was all me
She's hot
I mean... Um...
OK, I have no excuse. Whoever drew and animated this whole scene knew their craft (i.e. how to create a perfect furry bait to trigger normal people or to please degenerates like me) to a T. Damn...
Quite insane if you ask me
Rayman fans: Hey, can we get a new Rayman game soon?
Ubisoft: No but here’s Rayman snorting cocaine.
Ubisoft: Hey, at least you can play that stupid rabbids strategy game. We put him as a dlc. But we still don't give shit about him. 😡🖕
Rayman fans: This is... acceptable
@@egosdragonis6149 to be fair I’m a long time Rayman fan and I’m happy to see him regardless of his new persona
@@freshjadon7828 it’s to bad too because he looks really cool in the dlc but it would’ve been way cooler in his own game
@@freshjadon7828 Meanwhile, the devs of that strategy game having the time of their lives making rayman dlc:
The Rabbids really did a number on rayman huh.
Yep, stupid rabbids there ruin everything.
He still got 2 new games after them.
@@AMT_AllMyThoughts yeah but he never recovered from the trama :( quite literally all the ones rayman is in with the rabbits is just suffering.
Say are the Rabbids gonna appear in this series?
@@Banjoisawesome they appeared when Rayman came from another world. They referred to them as "Invaders", we don't know exactly what happened to them, just that whatever they did, people started hating on creatures from other worlds
The giggle and “am I happy?” Delivery was perfect and sounded cold as fuck, like he knew he had FULL control of the situation and room
IKR that giggle was so well delivered oh my god
no. *no I'm not.*
Also that he knew the answer before coming in.
It's s a joke that they bothered to ask.
Bro Ubisoft has secretly been making an Rayman anime the whole time
Fr how did i never hear of this
It’s no wonder Rayman snapped being pushed aside while other characters get their time in the limelight and society treated him like garbage.
Taking a meta context and making it a character context too.
They are implying he is actually rayman himself.
@@taddad2641
Yeah it reminds me of that scene in the joker when he talks about how society treats people and they get what they deserve. Rayman was sick of being treated badly so he took it into his own hands.
That is why he is the goat after all
Just like Joker
In the next scene the doors to the office burst open as the police rush into the room and a vicious shootout begins. In the end Rayman is struck by a bullet making him stagger backwards and in doing so he crashes through one of the offices windows. As he falls towards the ground he reflects on his life, his adventures and friends and how it all ended up here.
Giving Rayman a cocaine addiction is the last thing that ever came to mind.
To be fair. He probably started doing cocaine after he suspeyhe was going to be replaced. People in an existential crisis do start to try drugs and activities they previously didn't participate in. But I'm willing to bet he was bringing in Hybrid Hookers long before any of that.
Man what's next,Fox McCloud crying and eating so much ice cream over not receiving a new game for a decade?
I wouldn't be surprised if Luigi betrays Mario for stealing the spot light for too long & calls peach a whore 😅
@@Mr.Feather130Starfox series is trapped in reboot hell, idk if Fox MCcloud gonna remember anything lol
@@zahirecoates bruh that'll be hilariously messed up
What Rayman said from 2:34 to 2:48 perfectly describes how Ubisoft abandoned the Rayman Series and replaced it with the Rabbids Series.
Insanity lmao
I know you wont read this, nut rayman was replaced with ac, not rabbids.
It was the two ACs and the rabbids
@@mrdoggo3569
nope, it was Prince of Persia that was replaced with AC.
First AC was literally called Prince of Persia: Assassin before they've changed the name.
@@nooz1394 you misunderstood my comment.
In a literal way, yes, it was PoP. But it was AC who killed old ubisoft and rayman.
Everyone has pointed out that Rayman's arc mirrors how Ubisoft has treated him, but nobody has pointed out how his status as an limbless alien surrounded by limbed folk mirrors how he's the only mascot platformer who has no limbs at all
kirby
he'll many kirby characters have detached floating hands without arms like magalor or zan partizan
@@heheheiamasupahstarslam5397 that's not the same, they're on about him being the only mascot platformer without limbs, not only character from platformer games without limbs. one could definitely argue kirby has limbs too, if you wanted to try suggest kirby, given the fact he has little nubs and feet
@tspoter those are just hand and feet not arms and legs
@@heheheiamasupahstarslam5397
they’re attached
They actually funded a whole series out of a premise you'd see in a raunchy Newgrounds video game parody
Holy shit you’re right
Speaking of which, the creator of this show has made his fair share of porn. All of which is available on Newgrounds.
…None of which I’ve seen, of course. Just heard about it. Yeah.
who?@@TheAndrewj96
Kinda reminds me of sonic for hire
When I first heard of this show, I thought it was on Newgrounds lmao
I like to believe a writer one day achieved new levels of fever dream, told the producers about the dumbest idea he's ever had, and they were like "...We could totally do that."
You must not be familiar about the creators past films and animations.
@@redzeroo6068what were they?
Same dude who did Castlevania, among other things@@chaupham371
The writter came in with white powder on their nose, red eyes and a red bull on ther hands and went
"Ok, so hear me out"
@@chaupham371 Bobbypills stuff... is not everyone's cup of tea.
Lot's of violence and sexual themes. And some whacky stuff that... will make this look child friendly.
Rayman swearing is as surprising as a young Sonic fan hearing Sonic say "Damn" in Shadow The Hedgehog and not knowing wtf they're supposed to do
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know what to do since they expect these cute, colorful characters to be completely innocent.
his japanese voice actor says "shit" in Sonic X
its the first time, i'm hearing Rayman swearing! also, he uses an actual gun!!!
As a person who’s never played a *single* Rayman game… Rayman was my favorite character in this show. The shift from being so innocent to being willing to massacre an entire room just makes perfect sense with the context, and it honestly makes me feel bad to see him go down this path, even if it’s what he should’ve done years ago.
Welcome to the club teehee :3
I recommend you start with either origins & or redemption.
They can be on PC & the latter is a fan game so no ties to Ubisoft.
Can’t blame him. Bros been through a lot as it is. From being discriminated for being an alien refugee, and working his hardest to get a diploma only to get nothing in return. Then having your own image used to give the people false hope of the darker side that’s going down. That and the Rabbids…. Bros suffered a LOT when it comes to those brain dead reject bunnies
i played Rayman games before, on GBA & NDS...!
this entire video basically just made me understand Rayman's whole thing in this series

I guess this is what happens when you get ditched for some rabbits with the iq of a pebble
What's the appeal of the Rabbits?Is it because i'm older?I don't get it.
Not to mention getting taking from your own world--which was by all accounts a paradise--and being sent to what's pretty much Night City from Cyberpunk 2077.
I mean, they got less dumb over time.
Thank you Mario + Rabbids
Can I just say how much I love Rayman’s voice? Never heard of David Menken before watching this comp, but he absolutely _killed_ it here. He hit literally every note. I’ll be checking out more of his work for sure.
Dude is a FANTASTIC voice actor. He also voiced Malos in Xenoblade 2 and he’s an absolute highlight of that game.
Gotta give props to Rayman's voice actor. He somehow managed to capture his charm from the video games and give him a range of emotions we've never seen from him until now.
David Menken is a legend.
David Menken is a good voice actor this is like the first thing i've heard him in.
While I wish it was the more deeper surfer vibe voice from games like rabbids or rayman 3 I still love it and know what you mean I hope this series does well while I wish the original blood dragon had more references everything else was worth more I can't wait for the next season
It’s funny because both Rayman’s game VA and his one in this show have the same first name
His voice is so pleasant. No wonder folks of Eden enjoy rayman so much.
They really made Rayman a walking analogy for using mascots to hide foul play. Eden is shown to be oppressing people who stand against them, which especially include hybrids most working in conditions that are comparable to slaves. Rayman thought the whole time he was providing hope to everyone in Eden including his hybrid brethren so to learn the horrors that his face was being used to cover up, along with his outburst against Red’s blatant specism causing him to be replaced with another Rayman sent him into the extremes.
If I had to give a real world comparison, it’d be like if Mickey was a real person and learned all the fucked up stuff Disney does.
Right?! That moment you find out that he's actually believes the propaganda with his whole heart actually made it so much worse. We all expected Rayman to be just another hollowed out celeb selling himself for money, but how much more tragic is it to find out that he had no clue how bad it was? Or that they were using his face to sell those lies? The rage he felt at the way other hybrids were being treated under his name is understandable; his transformation should be a joke (ha ha take kid character and make him edgy) but instead it comes from a really believe able place of emotion.
Exactly AND I LOVE IT
This being done with a Ubisoft property, let alone so many of them all at once, is either a case of tone-deafness on the part of the company, or one of the boldest fucking rebellions on the part of the writers and animators i've seen in a while, based on how much creative freedom the writers were given.
Ubisoft and multiple other companies had a HUGE fucking upset a few years ago due to the numerous sexual abuse allegations and abusive figureheads uncovered at Ubisoft, and their primary way of covering it up was releasing information on long-awaited titles to try and beat the bad press to the punch.
The fact that Ramon realizes that he'd let his entire identity be dictated by his employers holding his life over their heads and deciding to reinvent himself from whole cloth into what he needs to be for the world to make sense anymore feels like a very loud and proud statement of "These ideas and everything good they represent exist in spite of the company that fund them."
nah nah more like Oswald the lucky rabbid whole existence, being owned by someone else and then see him being replaced and get abandoned might be go back to Disney one day and then go existence crisis when revealed the horror of IP destruction that Disney is currently doing
You could say Eden is a stand in for Ubisoft.
the fact they actually used the rayman origins ost at 3:20 makes me so happy
ikr I was so shocked I literally remembered playing the levels with that music jumping on those pink things
That song was also kind of used in Rayman legends
Ayyyyyyy
That was so nice cause Rayman Origins was one of my favorite childhood games and the sprite is inspired by the original PS1 Rayman Sprite
Is that Donald trump in the car 💀
As much as I love the Rabbids, Rayman basically became the Ubisoft equivalent of Donkey Kong where even though he was the star of his own video games, The Rabbids ended up slowly hijacking the spotlight and before we knew it Rayman was in their shadow before being overwhelmed completely and now HE is the side character
Rayman has every right to be pissed off
Even though we already know he forgave Rabbids (because his true ennemy is Ubisoft for not believing in his talent for many years).
@@carlosbleu7396Or at least that’s what they want you to think.
They have Rayman's copyrights, so nothing prevented them to propose a new game.
@@carlosbleu7396 except the execs
So we have our culprits.
Rayman casually eating sushi and snorting coke off the back and ass of an naked anthro cow is low-key a vibe. What a sentence.
What a time to be alive

I am like what does michel ancel think about this
"what a sentence" indeed 🤣🤣🤣
@@dontmessageme5579 Two minute papers

@@GameXenoZero64yeah it wasn't very good.
I think he worked better as a side character
@@GameXenoZero64the cahhh!
As opposed to what? Figuratively deserves his own show?
1:12 I love how, at first, it seemed like a joke, but it's actually a major plot point.
Rayman eating sushi off of a naked cow lady ended up becoming the most iconic moment in this while show yall are perverts
Come on--did you really think a moment like that _wouldn't_ have gotten people's attention?
@@LuznoLindo I hate that your right
It's interesting how Rayman is the only thing people seem to talk about in this series. I think that shows just how beloved this character truly is.
pretty wise
to be fair the rest of the series is pretty mid
Aside from the Bullfrog, he's amazing
@@calamariknight481that's what I'm talking about
I mean, the rest of the show isn't as good as the Rayman bits, aside from Bullfrog. The story is rushed, with six episodes basically speed running through two seasons. The story of the first three episodes should've been the whole season, with shit getting expanded upon, but instead we got a rush revenge plot, multiple things being done offscreen (The Rabbid kaiju, the first part of Bullfrog versus Alex's minions, Dolph versus the Niji 6, Rayman killing the Templars, etc.), plot points being dropped (Like the interdimensional gun just disappearing, who Alex was working for, etc.), and several of the deaths just not landing.
Jade and Pey'j's deaths just weren't sad, and seemed to be heavily relying on people knowing who they were beforehand. If you didn't know they were from Beyond Good and Evil, then they're just the hot reporter chick and her somewhat creepy pigman uncle who had the hots for her. And you only get to know Jade for an episode, and Pey'j for two episodes before they're killed in what felt like a metaphor for Ubisoft axing the Beyond Good and Evil franchise.
Alex, as a villain, fails when his motivations just don't make sense. His entire plan was peace through hate. If his story was done over the whole season, his plan could've been expanded upon to at least make sense, since they were going for a sympathetic route for his motivations.
And the twist at the end with Sarah Fisher was just too obvious to be a good twist. She spent the whole series as a villain, so her revealing herself to actually be a villain was just like, "Yeah, we know".
@@kosaba11 yeah, that too. There were a lot of good concepts but 6 episodes was way too short
This whole show feels like a huge fever dream💀
A genius world they created
It's a fver dream and the ultimate Ubisoft Crossover rolled into one.
Like why is Ray man in this would never have thought
What even is it
It's a good fever dream
The true main characters in this show are bullfrog and Rayman, they arguably did the most important stuff.
I'm convinced that the VA must be some kind of Rayman fan because he killed that delivery
can't wait for people to have him as their "literally me" character
can't wait for the sigma edits of rayman lmao
he's not a bad guy here tho
literally me
Cocaine 🤑🤑🤑
Literally me 🙌🙌
Why did they make rayman so goddamn unhinged. It’s so out of pocket and I LOVE IT.
He went from being Ubisofts Marrio to forgotten.
Because it's basically like asking "why is Kiryu a samurai in Yakuza Ishin". Think of it as a different character being played by a "digital actor" in a totally different thing.
To be fair,I can see the various Falling Down/Killdozer Moments.
That's what happens when you don't get a proper game in your name for a decade and just been replaced by a bunch of screaming retarded rabbits
Because this is actually in character for Rayman
"yeah he's cool but kinda edgy...."
No you don't understand
He becomes someone so violent that they can never hope to mince the truth or market him in a PG way
He embraces his darker side because he knows Eden can't make Rayman lie to himself
It's fucking insane that "Rayman starts gets shunned and starts doing drugs" is an a scenario in that exists and it's even more insane that said scenario STILL seems in character for him given his history
Believe it or not, this isn't actually the first time Rayman has appeared on tv
And this is much better than his first appearance lmao
@@magolord2820 agreed
Yeah it was that old Rayman cartoon and he sounded like Philip Fry.
@@bearerofbadnews1375Which makes sense because he was voiced by Billy West.
the cah
This makes Rayman singing "Sex Bomb" and the Rayman 3 ad where he was implied to be very well endowed make a whole lot more sense
Also the gangsta' ability in RRR and the way he acts torwards the Nymphs in Origins
@@friendlyneighborhoodnoob this "cartoon character is actually a dark alcoholic who does drugs!1!" cliche actually works perfectly with rayman becaus of these..... um.... attributes
Ridiculously good show. I enjoyed the whiplash from it taking itself ultra seriously and then just being a batshit crazy parody of your favourite icons growing up. Feels like a very natural progression of Rayman honestly, comparing the first and third games’ tonal shift.
Seeing rayman be alcoholic and a coke sniffer is some chip and Dale type shit, and I'm all for it
It was a good touch having Rayman make use of his ability to literally throw his hands like that.
Honestly this is pretty well done. "Raymone" was tastelessly edgy but somehow didn't pull me out of the story. The message of being treated like a replaceable product and not a person is a very real thing. His reactions to what happened to him and how he wants to stand up for what's right make sense.
Also, not many mention this, but while he massacre the board members, he just knock down the (relatively innocent) guard. He may angry, but likely still avoid needless killing
Pretty sure "Raymone" is a reference to Shadow the hedgehog, it's purposefully edgy as a joke.
It’s also especially interesting if you know the etymology of the name. From the sound of the pronunciation, it’s a clear play on “Ramon” which is actually a Spanish version of “Raymond”. Both names, as a result, actually translate to “Defender”, “Counselor”, or “He who defends through council” specifically in some variations of translation. So considering his whole arc was him trying to be an anchor to act as a beacon of hope for all hybrids, even the name manages to still keep in character with his motives and beliefs
@@axios4702they kind of missed the point of his name then
I can't help but feel like his line of "There you are; that's a very naughty hand" is a reference to his show. But that's just a headcanon
Every scene in this show his basically his treatment in real life, from popular platform icon as much as Mario and Sonic to completely forgotten character for a decade who got his retribution thanks to a DLC
And I wonder if Rayman teams up with Rabbids in other futur games.
@@carlosbleu7396 well rabbid peach and rabbid mario,mostly him, are like the only rabbids who treated him nicely, so they probably made a truce
Yes, maybe.
The fact that rayman was eating sushi off of a cowgirls ass is comical to me
He sounds exactly like how I always imagined he would sound!
If Rayman hadnt stopped fighting for a long time he would have put up a MUCH better fight against Red. Rayman canonically beat a gang of space pirates that enslaved over 100,000 lives, shook an entire constellation, can punch people so hard that they explode, but after he left his dimension he seemed to have gotten sloppy, forgetting that he is indeed supposed to be a hero with great power.
Poor rayman :c
My headcanon is that this story takes place in Rayman's past, before he became a hero. Captian Laserhawk is set in 1992, so before Rayman 1 by 3 years exactly. You can see that by his inability to fight properly and the fact that he is rather young here. He also doesn't know how to fly and after Rayman 3 and the Raving Rabbids game, Ubisoft tried to tell an origin story of Raymans with Rayman 4 being initially conceived as a reboot for the franchise and his origin story.
Probably the series would then end with him leaving Earth and going back to Dimension X and life amongst his own in peace until Origins, Legends and Rayman 1 begins!!!
@basilofgoodwishes4138 @basilofgoodwishes4138 That would make sense if Rayman Origins didn't Thanos snap everything out of existence and made him a hero from the moment he had been born after Betilla crafted him out of lums. We also see that Young Rayman in this show literally goes to college and graduates, suggesting this guy is older than any other Rayman we've seen. I would have agreed with you if I didn't see Betilla literally craft him out of lums in a cutscene. But I think that could also be the case because he DOES look young, but raymans history has ALWAYS been reconned literally all the time and its all over the place 😭
@@floofyamelia7928 Origins has hardly any continuity that should be taken as gospel, really, given that they depict Lums with army and faces, when only André and his Black Lums had these features unique to them. Also Rayman could have been born and then left his homeland or the better explaination and this Rayman came here in that alternative reality of Earth as baby and grew up here, without knowing anything about the Glade of Dreams.
@@basilofgoodwishes4138 Rayman orgins is canon, but the rayman leaving his homeland does make sense considering rayman gets his powers to fight in the middle of origins and since he hasnt gone through orgins yet he has an inability to fight
It's just not the same Rayman :/
It does kinda hurt my soul a little bit to see an icon of my childhood portrayed in this light, but honestly its just nice to see him around again.
Same; but then again, this is a meta-commentary how Rayman got badly treated by Ubisoft.
Maybe you need to eat sushi and snort coke off a furry
@@outersiderofficialso they're self aware but won't do anything with him?
I find it beautiful.
We've all grown up. We get hit by the harsh reality.
Rayman 3 in question:
Who would’ve guessed that a character who snorts cocaine and kills people would be fighting alongside Mario
Do people just *forget* how lewd the comedy of the series has gotten at times? Like, I don’t think this is *that* far out of character at all, this is still the same dude for certain, just pushed to an extreme point.
I didn’t, & I loved every moment of his Cyberpunk depiction, especially considering how one of the characters I ended up simping for is fucking spamton.
So I was kind of the target demographic lol.
Grown up with Rayman ☑️ Edgy as fuck ☑️ Likes the trope/plot-beat of star falling from their ivory & finding redemption ☑️ autistic ☑️ over-analyzes shit to the core & can see the writing on the wall so to speak ☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️.
Sure, but imagine if he were like this in his original game on the PS1.
@@LuznoLindo yeah, imagine if he was one of those edgy kids who thought they were so mature just cuz they cussed like a sailor & played GTA even though it’s not for their age group.
Rayman going postal unironically went hard as *fuck*
Ii need a mod of the postal dude being just Ramon lol
@@DigginThrough.MyOldMuscles. Is there any reference about "Ramon" or it' s just a new thing?
@@fungolo96”Ramon” is a meme nickname used by Rayman fans. I’ve heard it in speedrun streams of the first game on Twitch.
Imagine he showed up at the Board of Directors saying:"Hey there, would you like to sign my petition?"

“Not that one!”
There is a video of the Board office scene with Postal 2 voice lines. You should see it if you like the idea.
Ironically enough, this is pretty in character of Rayman considering he might look like a friendly creature, but he can get pretty matured realistically like this too. It's kind of proven within the advertisements of Rayman 3.
also with him being mad at racism and injustices it's very much in canon personality here too, he's been fighting against slavery and oppression of kingdoms since the first game, they just made him darker this time lol

Gotta say I love that transition with the mirror getting shattered in the bathroom. I don't know if that was homage to something else but if it was original, then big ups.
It reminds me of a cutscene from the Lain PS1 game, but that one didn’t involve guns iirc
The voice actor has so much energy. It's so weird to see my childhood hero in this way, but it fits so well to his actual history in real life.
Funny for Ubisoft to be so self aware!
You have to admire the balls of Ubisoft.
Could you ever imagine the likes of Nintendo having Mario portrayed like this? I mean sure, Rayman isn't their top IP right now, but still, having a child friendly mascot take a turn like this... Feels more like something you'd see in a web parody, not an official series!
Then again, they are a French company. Experimental stuff is hardly something the Europeans are adverse to.
EDIT: Dang, that's a lot of likes! Thank you!
Yes I agree on that, 100% is true
The french are just animatos, id Adi Shankur who direct it
Nah I see Luigi becoming more of sociopath then Mario because you know he's getting sick of being overshadowed
@@zahirecoatesAt least in some Mario and Luigi games we see how Luigi feels about himself in general and him got a little more of a spotlight in Dream Team, too bad the company that did those games got bankrupt.
I mean Naughty Dog did this to Jak and Daxter
This is one of the many reasons I love this show.
Imagine Nintendo displaying Mario as a depressed 30-some nobody who lives with his brother doing mushrooms in his spare time. But in an ironic low effort meta self-aware way.
Sounds horrible
Why do people always depict Mario as a bad person?
@@My_Name_Is_Blank because sometimes his actions can be taken out of context like him stomping on goombas
It’s like if SEGA made a show based on Yakuza where sonic is a drunken depressed businessman who does speed to keep outrunning his problems
I'd imagine Wario as the head of the greatest and richest drug cartel in the country, calls the merchendise "garlic" as a euphemism, smokes cigars, swears like a sailor, has Waluigi as his trigger happy right-hand man, and surrounds himself with hookers and sugar babies.
You gotta understand, this works so well on Rayman of all characters because its not so far off from what they did to his game series
4:52 bro sounded like baki
I'm surprised how much they did with Rayman. I was expecting one stupid cameo and I ended up seeing a whole character arc. 😂

And what of Rayman? Saving that Assassin's Creed Frog at the cost of killing the executives who threw him out because of his outburst against that red bigot, and thus his career is over after doing that?
3:48 the voices have announced. *_mass manslaughter_*
Honestly, of all of this, my favourite part is that little Judo Chop he does. It's a nice call back to the fact that Rayman can actually "dislocate" his hands, it was even the basis of an entire game plotline.
That's pretty cool. I thought it was just for aesthetics.
I assume you refer to Rayman 3?
@@CyberLink70 I don't remember the number myself, I just know it wasn't 2, but probably 3, yeah.
Not to be pedantic but it was the intro level/intro sequence of Rayman 3, not the basis of the games plot line, but yeah, it’s cool the show recognized that
4:33 Dear God, Rayman turns weakness into strength from the absence of limbs, so long have I never seen his hand move away from him.
He did this in the original TV show and in Rayman 3 he lost a hand and had to get it back.
So its been established he can do this.
It’s pretty much how he fights in most games except like Rayman 2 or Raving Rabbids
@@PALWolfOS
Hell, the entire premise of Rayman 3 started all because his hands wandered off on their own while Rayman was sleeping and scared a Red Lum, turning it into Andre!
Madness combat be like
The fact he can detach his hands legs and maybe his head? from his body and move them around independently across a decent distance actually opens up some interesting and horrifying possibilities for an anti-hero...
Rayman has no legs, arms, or neck, the hood and pants are making it loom like that. He has detached himself many times in the games, far ranges too. Like he can send his fist and foot out to great lengths.
@3:58 the shadow from his hairline on his eyes makes them look even more demonic, idk if it was intentional for that to look that way but its such a cool little detail
4:58 bro think he Heisenberg 😭💀🤦🏾♂️
Bro is NOT! Walter White 🤦♂️
I feel bad for Rayman about all the crap that he's been through and this animation tells us that video game characters can't all be nice all the time.
Hazbin Hotel is suck
@@user-lo7yi4pg3z dude come on seriously everyone has their own opinions for everything you know
@@user-lo7yi4pg3z?
@@user-lo7yi4pg3zcongratulations, no one gives a shit because it’s not even out yet
Edit: minus the pilot, but don’t go off of a damn pilot
Don't get me started on the racism he suffered
I get it.
I understand why Rayman hates those Rabbids now.
He still forgave them in the DLC of Mario + Rabbids 2.
@@carlosbleu7396 He did??? Damn, he really IS a nice guy.
Yes, and he became friend with two of them.
RAYMAN FANDOM PLEASE COMR ALIVE NOW
This perfectly defines how rayman has been treated
Honestly if there's one more Rabbids game without Rayman in it, this is a plausible path for him to take.
This video is basically Rayman getting to his breaking point
When he breaks bad
@@CoolNoQuestionMark Globox. we need to cook
You could say he's at his Breakpoint
This is definitely the alternative universe version of Rayman of what he looks like after not getting his own video game for decades after Rayman Legends
What ten years without a game does to a mf
Edit: specifically 2:36
I wouldn't mind an actual adult Rayman show tbh.
It exists its called tank girl
I would love to see what happend to the other characters like Globox, Razor beard, and Murfy
Fun fact: Rayman is voiced by David Menkin, who also voiced Malos from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Barnabas from Final Fantasy XVI.
He really needed to call Red a "little shit."
@@UltimaKeyMaster > Barnabas to Clive lol
What? No way that IS Odin voice actor 😮
YOU LITTLE SH-!
"INDEED!"
He honestly should’ve been the main character
bro thinks he's Heisenberg at the end 💀
I mean both of the shows are on Netflix
@@pixelcat29 Bro, the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul on amc+.
You mean El Camino on Netflix or what?
I love how deadly serious Rayman was. He is one of my favorite characters.
Very good animation.
Love how nobody is talking about anything other than rayman with this show.
ubisoft: so, people still remember him huh...
Bullfrog too
It just goes to show how many people still love rayman😭
And bullfrog, the greatest assassin.
It feels like he came straight out of nowhere, everyone know him, but no one expected to see him in a show and even less in a adult show.
You see him in this and you'll probably say: Wait a minute... RAYMAN? Sniffing cocaine, drink, swearing, killing, etc?
Still think the whole series plays out like an edgy 14-year-old's dark fanfic, but the bit where Rayman laughs and goes "Am I happy?!... Oh no... no I'm not" kinda hits. That last part of the old, innocent him bleeding out in those last moments of agony and anger through his change of tone.
Rayman and Bull frog are all I care about in this show I love it
So we not only do we have a cursing, alcoholic, coke-snorting Rayman, but also a Shin-chan parody at 1:30, furry bait at 2:23, The Sims at 3:18 and it's all voiced by the same dude as Malos from Xenoblade 2?! Of course it has the same director as Peepoodo
The fact there's a shin chan reference made me so happy, it's the comic i grew up with so i saw it from a mile away with how the eyes are drawn
Oh boy, my favorite
Animated by them, but not directed.
The idea and direction comes from a diffrent guy.
I think why it works.....
is the implication this Is in fact THE rayman. this isn't this unvierse's idea of rayman, it is literally rayman from his dimension that got stuck here and tried to adapt and was beaten down by how cynical it was.
Though that becomes a question of... if you are gonna have the other characters pop up too. like original jade.... Actualyl original jade is gonna be op cause she unlocked alien magic powers.
Also pretty damn weird that u unironicly watch Peepoodo.
I was looking what Bobbypills did before this show because it was so damn amamzing.
First I came across Jafe Rising (or however it was called) and that was a weird collection of multiple things but also had some strong and hella good metaphorism going on.
But Peepoodo?
Goddamn, bless ur soul when u like that mess.
So first he makes his comeback with Mario and now he's already hit rock bottom. Jesus Ubisoft just give this man a game!!
The craziest year for a video game character I’ve ever seen
@@Mr_bukowski4435 yeah, my God...
Rayman here is such a good character. He's not just some asshole who grew an ego and became blind to the situation. He was fed the exact same lies and flase hoods as everyone else.
When Red called him out you can see it genuinely upset him and he was right to be angry. But one mistake, one moment of genuine emotion, one line off script. Completely replaced.
You can see him literally go through the five stages of grief so fast too. Denial at losing his place, anger at being replaced, bargaining to get his job back, depression of how he was actively involved in the current state of the world and acceptance at reality that his life is over but he can still make a difference by saving a single life.
But the sad part is that it was still manipulation. Sara fisher was no doubt the one who sent that message given her speech in the last episode.
In the end Rayman was always a pawn. A tool. Just in the hand of a different person.
Edit: Actually thinking back the denial part makes more sense for him denying reality and feeding lies to people. That makes more sense now that I think about it but forgot to change it before posting the comment.
This is rayman's shadow the hedgehog arc
2:41 Wait i'm probably out of context but this line fits so well to the Rayman treatment in his franchise he got replace by Rabbids and just imagine if that fake Rayman is a disguised Rabbid, honestly i don't think so but if it's that the case this is a 10/10.
I'm betting the replacement Rayman is that world's version of the Dark Rayman from the first game. Or even Mr. Dark himself.
@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225i think there was a tarzan ray or something in the first game. He's one of the only rayman characters that look directly like him.
@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225given how badshit insane this show is I’m willing to bet it’s a rabbid simply because it’s more hilarious and ironic than being more accurate to his lore
So my interpretation of Eden just being modern day Ubisoft is true, cool
2:23 Who in their right mind decided that Rayman would be eating Sushi off of a naked bull girl?
I dont know who had the idea, but they're a genius.
@@pura_vix2612 Agreed, but I don't eat food off of someone, I'd rather massage her
uh... bulls are male cows
I think it's supposed to be a "Nyotaimori" often referred as Body Sushi, a Japanese practice of serving sashimi or sushi from the naked body of a woman (Nantaimori) is the male equivalent
It is said to have its origins in the samurai period. It was a sub cultured of the Geishas (A.K.A 'geiko' High ranking entertainers). The event would take place in a Geisha house as a celebration after a victorious battle.
Kayne West
I used to have a crush on rayman
This is lowkey strengthen it
So, are we not going to question why he was eating off a cow-lady or who the cow lady was? 2:21-2:27
Love the way that they betrayed Rayman He definitely showed his anger and rage. Pent up all those years of being sidelined and forgotten long live rayman
I wasn't so sure at first about how they took Rayman's character when I started the series. It felt like every other "childhood character you love is now adult and obscene" trope we see in modern media. But as the series went on, I actually really began to love the writing of him, and the path they were going for.
Being a "Hybrid", Rayman is considered part of a largely discriminated minority, and was struggling before being made into Eden's mascot. It's shown that he had been greatly dehumanized in the process, becoming a shill for all of Eden's lies and propaganda. But some of his humanity persists, most notably shown when he protests against Niji Red's active racism towards "interdimensional alien scum," and when he privately tries to justify his actions to the Board of Directors. The "racial minority used by a company and turned into a corporate super-star" story is a sadly realistic one, and is thankfully being touched on more in the present with shows like this and The Boys (take A-Train in season 3, for example). Did I ever think Rayman was going to be one of these examples? Never in my life. Am I loving it every second of the way? Yes. Releasing Rayman's character by letting him get back at his abusers and off the entire Board of Directors was not only insanely satisfying to see, but it also greatly builds up interest for what comes next.
Admittedly, giving Rayman a trenchcoat, twin tommy guns, slicking back his hair and changing his name to "Ramon" was a little silly, but that's what I love about this show. It finds a good balance between story-driven, violent action and goofy humor, something other adult-oriented shows fail to do. I can't wait for the next season!
He's not a hybrid, he's literally an alien from another dimension
@@jackislegitterrified3689 That's _also_ part of the point.
When racism is involved, racists don't exactly care where you came from, only where you LOOK LIKE you came from.
In terms of the show, people don't see "Pigman, cowgirl, weird limbless alien" They see "Three hybrid freaks"
Even with whatever they have going on for his doppelganger, they never bothered to put any behind-the-scenes way of telling Rayman apart from his replacement, so he's able to schmooze on past the guards to talk with Bullfrog by just falling back into his stage persona, which he'd been refining for YEARS.
I agree with the general sentiment, and I agree that the "minority getting exploited for good faith credit" is sadly too common a story, but I gotta say:
Don't expect anything good from The Boys. The original story had supers of every race and creed, showing off that anyone can be evil, that they made A-train the "poor black man exploited for the corporation to show off as non-racist" is ironically an example of this, they already had a heroic black man in Mother's Milk instead of giving the minority villain a "but he's not evil though" arc.
Especially since it shows a perfect way of reintroducing the character un a new light in a adult show and actually making it work
Looking at you "Velma"
@@jackislegitterrified3689 Sorry, I thought they were one in the same. Rayman stands up for the Hybrids as if he were one, because he had to face the same discrimination they did.
this show was amazing, from the opening, down to the very last scene
0:55 What are you talking about this show is lame man everybody hated
"That's a _very_ naughty hand~" 😏🤚
4:24. There you are. That’s a very naughty hand. Rayman ate in this show. XD
Left 0 crumbs🔥🔥🔥
that moment give me travis touchdown feels
Must badass thing I heard him say 😅
May I ask what the show is called

"Thats a very naughty hand"
When you realize Netflix gave more love to Rayman than Ubisoft ever did over the past several years (aside from his return in Mario + Rabbids 2).
