I teach a Creative Narrative class and just last week I introduced my college students to your videos as a prime example of storytelling, especially since you can tell such compelling narratives without any dialogue. I remember being in sixth grade when I first saw "Animator vs. Animation" and I can only watch in awe at how incredible this journey has been. Thank you for this Odyssey.
There's another good example like Primal created by Genndy Tartakovsky. Even though it doesn't have any nareatives, it still manages to tell a good story.
It’s insane how rewatchable Alan Beckers videos are despite stick figures being one of the most simple and basic characters yet. His talent is incredible!
@@darksoul7901 yeah yeah but he's videos are still unique (If not counting all the copycats) and how many stick figure animation videos have proper lore?
Love the way Alan and the stick figured were play fighting at the start. It’s clearly so much fun for everyone and it definitely foreshadows TSC using his animation skill to fight later on
I really like how the sunglasses dude versus Orange fight basically harkens back to the title of the film, Animator vs. Animation, by having the sunglasses dude use Animator tools while Orange creates and uses Animations. This is simply phenominal.
I just realized, TSC is kind of growing into the role of being the Animator himself! Even without Alan's PC present, it was still an animator versus animation!
nah alan definitely is the animator still, he will come into the story later since victim is after alan, so i assume there will be a fight with alan, victim, the mercenaries, the stick gang and orange once orange figures out how to use his powers
15:35 even though he’s gray i really hope he’s the victim from alan’s very first animator vs animation. i remember someone saying that if alan brought back the victim he would make him gray. on the walls you can also see the lasso, color picker, brush, eraser, and the hand. all of which he used against alan in the fight they had.
I love how each of the mercenaries has his own style of animation and they take advantage of that to fight, the pixels, he has the sword, the guns, the attack of jojos, the rock painting has the spear, the bow, the hulk shape, game&watch has the slow animation, the signal with which he erases the bird and the stickman with the glasses has the magnifying glass, the loop, the selector, it's incredible the variety of animation styles that this has
Funnily enough I think the more pixelated Stick figure is actually based on that age old animation/gif of a guy attacking a wall. I only clocked it when his head turned into a turret.
This turned out soo good! It was a pleasure to work with your incredible team on this! and thanks Alan for collaborating on my video, although after the comments you made we are now mortal enemies forever.
As kids, we got to watch this person make a simple yet creative take on stick fighting animations, but as we grew up we watched him evolve. Now he makes high quality animated productions with stunning angles and fight choreography as he continues the ongoing story he started long ago! Alan has come a long way and I'm glad I've been able to grow up with his animations.
The original Animator vs Animations was 2 minutes by you alone. And years later, we have the 6th entry (part of it at least) being almost 16 minutes long with the help of so many people. Every second I was in awe, from the background, the music, the sfx, the choreography and even TSC's drawings. The team did an amazing job and you all deserve praises for the work you manage to achieve. This is genuinely amazing and I'm glad to have been able to watch it.
Something I noticed while TSC was originally trying to fend off the mercenaries, the specific things he created were actually poor matches against the three mercenaries he sent them against. For Ballista, he sent flying sharks at him. That’s crazy. The man is looks like he’s made for crazy. Maybe something cold and calculated that is able to adapt and punish his moves would be better suited to fight him. For Primal, he sent a rhino at him. Seeing from his strength and style of weaponry, he is the embodiment of ancient human hunters, which were proficient at killing large creatures. While he is able to deal with something big and tough, what about something small and plentiful? His strengths wouldn’t help all too much when there are just so many tiny things attacking him at once. For Hazard, he sent a bird. Just a bird. A normal bird too. While it did catch him off guard, it was only an ordinary bird that he was easily able to dispose of once he got his bearings. His image would depict dangers that, while sometimes sudden, are foreseeable. Maybe it would be beneficial to send something otherworldly and truly unnatural at him, that way, he would hopefully struggle at figuring out what to do against such a danger. I might be wrong on wether or not some of these would work, but it still interests me to think of what things would work better to fight against each mercenary. I got nothing on Agent, I’ve not seen enough of his capabilities to think of potential ways to fight against him.
TSC Could possibly be able to fight Agent one on one without fear of getting outnumbered out of thin air because the other 3 are still struggling with TSC's drawings.
I LOVE how all the Stick Mercs have diffirent styles and powers to diffirentiate them. An 8bit ninja, a cavepainting hunter, a sign fighter(who is animated with more choppy and stiff pose and I find it so damn cool) and a Stickman with the ability to harness photoshop. It’s such a clever way to diffirentiate the mercs and show their powers. Typically lackeys are hard to distinguish from each other but each of these guys are unique and it’s so cool! Damn Indie Animation has been eating good lately, the Lackadaisy Pilot, Monkey Wrench Ep 2, and now AvA S6 E1.
Knowing how the 4 Stick Figures came from SticksFight, I assume that those mercs came from different websites destroyed by Chosen One and Dark Lord back then.
he isnt he the only one animating these. there have worked a bunch of people on this these are in his description 🔹 ANIMATORS Terkoiz ARC Sifter Fordz Ellis02 TJB SmoilySheep Hexal Nemo Stealth ajanim eds! ShadowQrow Oxob Topburger Simple Fox Able Rai n8ster Sanguinii Endo Skim
genuinely love the design of the minions, how they're all styled differently, they just ooze so much charm and i love it, love how genuinely imposing the leader was, how he was able the defeat TSC so effortlessly without breaking an sweat, amazing writing
That isn’t the leader, the gray stick figure revealed at the end is, which I’m assuming is the victim from the first/original AVA (animator vs animation
The animations for the drawings alone must've been INSANE!!! I still can't believe we get sick episodes like these for free. These deserve their own streaming series.
This is another masterpiece in the making. The mercenaries are all so unique, one is pixelated and fights with cartoony weapons, one is using medieval weapons because it's artstyle looks like the cave paintings of the cavemen, one is the standard symbol for a drawn man and mostly does a certain set of poses like the poses on signs you can see everywhere, and one can use the flash tools to fight. Would love to see more of The Second Coming's powers.
i think they might be specific references, but I'm not sure what, except for the pixel guy. He is definitely that flipnote stick figure that would beat the shit out of a wall/whatever else
I think those guys are meant to be the original four stick figures. the Flash Stick, the Flipnote Stick in Stickman Vs Wall, the Cave Stick, and the Caution Stick that's on all the signs.
I like how the villains actually have their own unique style and personality. The pixel dude has an anime-like style. The bathroom/warning sign character is real Mr. Game-and-Watch vibes. The flip note sketch has a hunting warrior prowess. And then the more refined “it’s just business” aura. Really makes me excited to see how this develops and how enjoyable these fights are gonna be. Edit: The mercenaries are antagonists and so far have not shown signs of being a super mega evil villain corporation. The sketch is a cave man drawing, which makes much more sense than what I thought.
@user-kh4xs7mi9g I think TCO already move on from its past and become good. You can see how TCO destroy the rock that almost hit random worker in the street. Or maybe, he is just Anti-Hero
The transition from intense action sequences to Alan and the stick figures having some lighthearted violence between friends gave me some intense emotional whiplash but also made me giggle with delight at how much fun they were clearly having :)
For me, it's the tiny visual gags. When they're play-fighting at the beginning, and Alan puts his "hand" up when Blue holds him up... only to use the Hand tool to yank the entire stage up and send Blue flying.
I still can’t believe Alan went from little shenanigans with the Chosen One, to entire plots and characters, and finally to the intensity in this stickman coucil and the animation going so high budget. This journey was so far. Great job, Alan.
I love that over the years the relationship with the animator and his creations went from vengeful to playful, in parts just goofing around having fights.
These new 4 stick figures are so great. I love their distinct fighting styles: - Adobe Stickman uses Windows / Adobe tools as weapons and gadgets - Cave Art Guy uses tribalism like tactics complimented by their scary raw brute strength - Sign Guy uses an unpredictable movement pattern to get the upper hand in close combat while also using signs as different abilities - Pixel Stickman uses a vast versatile arsenal of different weapons that generates from their body
Plus, Adobe moves like a sticknodes character with very straight limb segments, so I nicknamed them "Nodes" since it also sounds a little like "Neo" with the shades and all
I don't think they are from Adobe. While they have the toolbar from Adobe as some sort of "Toolbelt", they seem to be more like a Pivot Animator stickman. Since their limbs are straight stiff and the solid white head and flat angular glasses are something that would easily be done in the application. They seem to be using Adobe as more as a tool.
I love how in just this first one, it seems like they’re trying to arrest TCO for their crimes against stickmanity, but at the end and through the next one it becomes clear that Victim is going after TCO for what he knows about The Animator or because he suspected they were working together. Whether it’s a warped version of justice or just plain revenge is open to interpretation right now, but I love the narrative without the dialogue.
Not enough people are talking about how AWESOME these new antagonists are. Pixel, Grease Pencil, and Traffic Sign (as I call them) are all so unique and each have such awesome animation styles, abilities, and fighting styles that work so well in this world, but are also so fun to watch. I can’t wait to see how they’re evolved upon in the future
After seeing the release of VI Ep2, I returned to watch the whole series over again. Something I noticed which may or may not be important: at the end of this episode, when the mercenaries show the Wanted poster to claim their reward, _the Wanted poster is printed in monochrome._ Food for thought.
Something I noticed is that in the very first animation in this series the weapons victims clones use are the same as the ones they use in the newest one
I'd like to point out something else for those who might have missed it. The pencil tool from the mercenaries is shown to be powerful in the hands of TSC multiple times in the second episode (perhaps too powerful). I'm calling him using a backup pencil from his pocket later. Check it out at 5:59 in this episode.
this has got to be my favorite episode so far, even after "the box" I still think I like this one more. it's funny when it needs to be, it's suspenseful, it's emotional, it's animated better than just about anything else I've seen, maybe even better than most of the netflix cartoons I've watched, it's incredibly well thought out I could go on but I feel we'd be here for a few hours I jus- it's perfect
I freakin love how over the years Alan has somehow managed to give each of the stick figures a personality just by the way they interact with each other
Man.. if you go back and watch the whole series all over again.... you can really see how Alan's animation's have gotten drastically better with more effort put in every time.
We literally went from a simple animator fighting back against a simple stick figure to such an expansive universe with all these amazing fight scenes. It’s crazy, and I’m all in for it!
Never thought we'd actually see Victim ever again. Speaking of which, go back and watch the first AVA. What went from a small animation of a little stick figure, is now a full blown TV series. Similar to Camila Cuevas with Glitchtale, Alan Becker has come one hell of a long way and he should be very proud.
Something that I've always been enamored by with this series is how much personality each character has-showcased most by their diverging interests and fighting styles. This is best shown in the Animation vs Minecraft playlist, since there's the most time into that and the most opportunities to give them all the tools to meld their interests and their fighting style. Despite this, most of the main 5 don't have that level of integration between interests and fighting style outside of AvM. Obviously TSC has the most screentime, and his signature creativity has been shown from their introduction in AvA4-both in terms of figuring out different ways to defeat Alan and in terms of integrating drawing-based summons. AvA4 and 5 both showcased the latent explosive energy buried deep inside of TSC as well, though it's clear that said energy is not readily available to them. Between this episode and Animation vs Math, we see exactly how TSC can figure out complex strategies from simple escalation in logic, and that translates well into their fighting style even WITHOUT Minecraft items. Animation vs Pokémon, Animation vs League of Legends… we see it everywhere. TSC is easily the most developed on this front. Second place is Yellow, actually. Yellow's love of engineering and coding shines through so well in Animation vs Minecraft, what with the redstone contraptions and the command blocks. But even outside of the world of Minecraft, we see Yellow's interest show itself in other places-Animation vs Arcade Games shows Yellow as effectively the main character for once, and they use their coding skills to great use for problem solving. And there's also the important point where Yellow was the only one capable of figuring out how to summon Alan in AvA5 to help TCO fight TDL. No, this isn't fully integrating Yellow's interests into their fighting style, but it's a lot closer than the other three. I can imagine Yellow continuing to be the one hacking into systems, disabling cameras, taking control of automatic defense weapons, maybe even being the one to figure out how to hotwire one or more of those weaponized vehicles from this episode (which are apparently potent enough to give TCO a lot of trouble). Red and Green are at similar levels of development outside of AvM. Red's personality does shine through in their impulsiveness and pioneer-level problem-solving (with how they're usually the first one to try some weird strategy that the others quickly adopt when those ideas work), but Red is much more known for their affinity for animals nowadays. Meanwhile, Green's personality shines a bit less than Red's, with Green being much more perfectionistic and show-offy; though it does bleed through with having the flashiest weapon in the sparing section of this episode, I feel that Green should be at least on par with TSC in hand to hand combat by this point. In both cases, their personalities and interests only vaguely inform their fighting styles outside of the Minecraft world, and I hope they can become much more fleshed out. (Red especially deserves a notable win, seeing how they tend to go down first in many confrontations.) Since TSC is currently captured, I would love for Red and Green to become the two main fighters of the remaining four; Green could be adept at utilizing pretty much anything as a weapon (harkening to how proficient they are with the fishing rod during combat), while Red could be the one with the most unwieldy yet strangely effective tactics (perhaps with the emphasis on being the one to strike first). In fact, maybe Red could show themself as the fastest of the four after this episode, at least marginally. And then there's poor Blue. In Minecraft, at least Blue can provide some incredibly potent support through potions and agriculture, both of which are easily accessible and weaponizable in the Minecraft world. Blue does also have some aptitude with ranged weapons, which is hinted at during the sparing match between the stick fighters and Alan, but that's so little compared to the others. Unless they begin specializing in ranged weapons specifically, I'm not sure how Blue's AvM specialty can be translated well into non-Minecraft situations. If anyone else has any thoughts about Blue, please let me know! I am at a loss with this one. Now, I'm bringing up Red, Green, and especially Blue as a criticism purely because of how many other stick figures that have been brought in so far. Purple quickly gained a reputation as an opportunist, using quite literally anything they can get their hands on to give them an advantage (such as the character ability files in Animation vs League of Legends); they were very quickly shown to be willing to cheat and fight dirty, which immediately sets Purple apart from the main 5. King Orange, meanwhile, is much simpler and brutish in their approach to combat, relying on their ability to simply overpower others and facetank what they can't (granted, we have not seen Orange outside of AvM, so who knows how that would translate). The Chosen One and The Dark Lord have similar powers, but their personalities shine in the level of efficiency and brutality they both have, with TDL having a bit more brutality than TCO; the virus powers in AvA5 also helped to better differentiate TDL from TCO. And then there are the four mercenaries(?) in this episode, who brilliantly showcased personality and style in their one fight against TSC. 'Flipnotes' has a style of overwhelming the target with a flurry of blows, which no other character has. Caveman really showcases low-tech weaponry and brutal strength. Stopsign is quite literally forced to be economical in motion, so that gives a feeling of deliberate control. And then Glasses is the one with the most screentime and personality shown, being both economical with tactics and being almost obsessive with taking control; I dare say that Glasses already developed a grudge against both TCO and TSC, which could be why Glasses went out of their way to personally embarrass TSC when they very much didn't have to. Point is, their personalities show loud and clear in their actions and fighting style. I know you put a lot of love and care into these characters. It's obvious, and I love your team for it! As such, I am very much looking forward to whenever the next part of AvA6 is completed. The ending of this part makes me think that the four fighting stick figures will be driving the plot forward, and I'm excited to see how all four of them will be further characterized outside of Minecraft-especially considering how outmatched they all currently are. But they've fought through seemingly insurmountable odds before, and I can't wait to see how they manage to do so here.
@@animatörünoyunckatölyesi I didn't mention Victim because he was not created during a time when Alan got good at showcasing personality through animation. Victim also has not shown up in any other episode until now, so there has literally been no opportunity to GIVE Victim a personality. Talking about them was not useful for the point I was trying to make.
I really love this. You clearly appreciate this character building thoroughly and I respect that 100%. Thank you for being so detailed in this, it helps me understand them even better as well (I’ve made similar observations). For Orange, I think he gives me the vibes of someone who isn’t very experienced (knowledgeable, yes, but not experienced) doing their best- the perfect way to describe them from fighting style to backstory. Orange’s tactics are very one-note, typically using Netherite in big hits, relying completely on large constructs. Which reflects his lack of experience perfectly, knowing what the best block is but not using every block to its fullest.
Is that the original stickman from AvA 1? That would be insane, truly bringing it around full circle. There’s also something so poetic about the animation becoming the animator. I’m mostly just astounded at the quality. This kind of stuff belongs in theaters, and here we are, having it gifted to us out of passion and love for the craft. We can never thank you and your talented team enough, Alan.
@@AlexPlayz0412 if other varients of herobrine come from different school bec the people who studying the things the stick man bring and try to conquer the monster school verse there will ve the strongest herobrine fight ever
Alan made an entire movie using... STICK FIGURES. Out of everything, you made high-quality content using stick figures. I am impressed with the amount of detail this animation has. Good job!
I can’t wait to see the animator fight again. This whole time he’s been improvising during his fights with the animations, and he’s held his own very well. That scene however showed that he’s been practicing, and I can only imagine how good he is now.
I love how the cursor follows along with and lingers along side the sticks during the scene where Chosen is on the desktop. There's no reason for it to do that, the Animator can see the screen, but the cursor joins the sticks in their little lineup anyway. It's oddly adorable.
It is crazy how entertaining Alan makes his videos only using stick figures and they don’t even talk but you can still feel all the emotions he is trying to show us! Can’t wait for the next part!
My theory is that these characters represent the different eras of drawing, ancient crude, early and snappy, retro and exaggerated, and finally smooth and consistent.
15:34 I just looooove the details in this one scene alone, victim being 16 fps, the background having them frames from the original animating program used when Alan made that cannon thing and various cursor icons like the eraser and hand displayed on the wall, victim even uses windows xp!
6:53 Really? No one's gonna make the joke? Fine. I'll do it. CHOSEN ONE! LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! Now the animator's gonna have to draw all this fire!
This has potential written all over it! :D Previous AvA animations were expanding on the backstory of already known stick figures and it was great. However, the addition of so many new characters means so much possibilities for storytelling, I can't wait to see what Alan came up with!
I have been SHRIEKING This series makes me feel as many things if not more than anime. And I do not say that lightly. Scott Buckley killed it, per usual, I’ve fallen in love with his music through y’all. The character development for everyone is always so tastefully done, and the pencil tool as a weapon??? Is one of the most inspiring things??? I have seen in my entire life??? And the scenes over Alan’s shoulder looking at his screen, pre disaster and post disaster, made me laugh out loud. This is such a masterpiece, the detail in the animation, the kinetic choreography of the fights, the different animation styles- I’m floored, I’m so happy I saw this.
15:33 THATS the deserved one!! IN DID, HE’S NOT A FANMADE ANYMORE!!!!! YES! LES GO! also... THAT'S NOT VICTIM!! alan would say "hey guys! i watched the deserved one and i didn't comment on their videos and i will make AVA VI with the deserved one at the finale! i will recreate victim in ep 2 or lying! stay tuned!"
As a pixel artist, you wouldn't believe how inspiring that pixel stickman and its animation were. I wasn't fully into the idea of doing stick figure animations, but now I am all in for it! Hopefully I'll keep this inspiration going and get to making something soon.
Alan and his team are absolute masters of their craft, turning something beloved into a legend. Astounding work. (grey is also a great colour for the villain)
@@SlipperyFellow720 yeah someone was able to confirm that alan said if he were to bring back victim, victim would be gray. Also the animation style for this character is similar to victims in the first ava, which is uneven lines. You can check by looking at their head when they lean closer in this episode.
@@candlestixsmixedwithtrixs even without knowing that I already knew it was the victim because there has only been 4 stick figures drawn by alan with 2 of them being black and in the background you can see the adobe key frames
For all those reading this comment, go back to the "Cherry blossoms" short. There, if you look closely when purple is walking the streets, you'll see the EXACT "Wanted" poster for TCO as the one at the start of this episode. Now, this tells us two things: 1. Purple, King Orange, and TCO all live in the same "AvA" world. 2. Maybe, just maybe, purple and King Orange will make an appearance in the AvA series.
If Alan and his team make a movie, I feel like it would be a huge success. Their work is absolutely phenomenal. I would be more than willing to pay. I'm sure there are a lot more people who feel the same way.
Oooo I wish. But just shorts take literally weeks or even months to produce. So we probably won’t be getting a movie for a very long time, and even if we did he’d probably have to cancel most of his other projects since it would literally take years and years to storyboard, write, direct, and animate an entire movie! So he probably won’t do anything like that anytime soon. Or at least until AVA and AVM has a definitive ending ending and he has no other projects to work on.
@@ANGYVJMejorParaTodos know how ep 2 is gonna be like the thing is that king orange and. Purple are gonna have a comeback Didn,t you notice in the short cherry blossoms there was a wanted the chosen one poster That means purple and orange are coming to the rescue they escape to the minecraft dimension and once they go to the pc and get the mc icon block it,s game over for everyone
@@edwardelric2651 Referencias en su sala a iconos del Macromedia Flash del Windows XP. También porque tiene una cabeza hueca y que se mueve en fotograma como pasaba en las 3 primeras animaciones (Incluso TCO y TDL tenía esto, pero después nunca lo volveríamos a ver), como también de que los Fans sabían que lo cambiarían a Gris en una futura aparición para diferenciarlo de TCO.
The amount of characterics this legend of a man (and the rest of the team of course) can add to stickfigures is so fascinating. The four agents and the boss, WOW!
I have a theory. Since who we likely see at the end is victim (who, for those who do not know, is the very first stick figure brought to life by Alan) even though it was thought they were deleted, this leads me to believe/theorize that there might be another stick figure alive: The Dark Lord. Since Victim somehow survived literal deletion, TDL may have survived the laser blast by TSC. Furthermore, if TDL is, in fact, alive, I believe that victim may be working for TDL, or it may be the other way around. Even if this isn’t what ends up happening, I believe victim’s goal is to become a god by taking TCO’s powers, and/or to seek revenge on Alan for trying to delete them. Unrelated, but It would be really cool to see Orange (King) and Purple appear as allies against victim and their workers. It’s possible, because we see the wanted poster for TCO in a short made by Alan Becker called “Cherry Blossoms” that purple is in. Sorry for the paragraph, this is just what I predict will happen in upcoming episodes of AVA.
ilk olarak bu yorumu okuyana kadar kurbanı unutmuştum hatırlatma için teşekkürler ikinci olarak TDL'nin ölmediğini bende savunuyorum daha sonradan başka bir bölümde onu yeniden görmeyi umut ediyordum ve ikisinin beraber çalıştığı tahmini çok mantıklı.
Man, i can gush for hours about Alan's animation skills, but holy crap even his character concepts alone is amazing. Every single one of those mercenaries has a unique way of fighting and is extremely fun to see animated. Amazing work, Alan! You were a huge inspiration to me for pursuing animation.
Like good old times... This is even better than just "masterpiece", but even more with flash-style and other nostalgia... I have no words to describe, but to see Editor-Guy team and the old-new Victim - I've almost cried as we may see Purple and Orange again, and even 2D Minecraft animation into 3D world and everything, more and much better than it has been. I'm pretty glad Alan's team with himself, their mades, walk from my childhood to the nowadays!
The fact that TCO, one of the strongest stick figures on the internet, was defeated by 4 mercenaries says a lot. This new series is going to be very exciting. Also, Victim is back?!
It could be that "Victim" is jealous that the "Chosen one" Alan's second creation gets super powers and wants it for himself to probably get revenge on Alan for being his mundane punching.
From what started as a simple cartoon style fights now into fully fledged anime battles, you have come a long way and put in amazing effort into your projects. Please dont stop animating we love what your doing! 💙
I've never seen literal stick figures, something that anyone can draw, have so much action and emotion than some popular series today. This series definitely deserves more than just being on RUclips
It's amazing to me how well you can understand the flow of everything here. Alan and the team are ones of the most talented people here on YT. To tell a full story without any word and still giving us the viewers a clear and intense fighting and story building. I glad I found it 8 years ago by chance and glad to see how it came and became better every year.
Really clever storytelling here - show the viewer that having access to a whole toolbar is powerful enough to win a fight against the entire main 5 working together, and then reveal that the villain has one. Love this.
As stated by DJ on AvG, Alan is extremely good at telling stories without needing words to tell them. This new series + the other AvA + AvM has so much to unpack especially if you can see all the tiny details. Well done, Alan. Well done.
The way he emotes and taunts on them is hilarious. Flippin hilarious how he types the emoticons. I escpecially love when he put his hands up and just pounded blue.
@@aidenyorke2132plus, he has a team of animators helping him out (people seem to forget this). Seems like they are aiming for a new vid/animation each month based on their current upload schedule.
5:31 the fact that Alan could've right clicked , select all, and then delete their weapons and easily win but didnt shows just how much he's come to trust them on his computer
Dude, why. I legit have an entire notebook dedicated to AvA lore and now i can't stop laughing because you called Victim (dw abt the name) CGP grey. i watch both channels, and my god i cant stop laughing. Take my like and GTFOOH.
something interesting I noticed, the Chosen One's innate heroics can actually be seen in the initial chase. yes obviously the stopping the rubble from hitting the random guy, but also notice how he almost exclusively aims for his pursuers vehicles during the chase as apposed the the people themselves
If the grim reaper was at my doorstep I wouldn't use my gun to shoot my mom through the window. It's in his best interest either way to aim at his pursuers because aiming at the civilians has no use and they're really hard to hit accidentally when they're that high up.
@@skeptic_lemon I feel like something got confused at some point because the only mention of civilians I did was the civilian he saved, which he went out of the way to do. maybe I didn't phrase the last part correctly? if that is the case, let me rephrase it. if you notice he seems to mostly aim at his pursuer's vehicles as apposed the pursuers themselves
@@jondw wait ooooooooooohh when you said "he seems to mostly aim at his pursuer's vehicles as apposed the pursuers themselves" I read the second mention of pursuers as "people" and thought you meant the civilians. My bad, I'm dumb. I didn't actually notice that though. Nice catch!

I really like how the sunglasses dude versus Orange fight basically harkens back to the title of the film, Animator vs. Animation, by having the sunglasses dude use Animator tools while Orange creates and uses Animations. This is simply phenominal.

I just realized, TSC is kind of growing into the role of being the Animator himself! Even without Alan's PC present, it was still an animator versus animation!
nah alan definitely is the animator still, he will come into the story later since victim is after alan, so i assume there will be a fight with alan, victim, the mercenaries, the stick gang and orange once orange figures out how to use his powers
Remember, he was the one that taught Alan how to animate!

15:35 even though he’s gray i really hope he’s the victim from alan’s very first animator vs animation. i remember someone saying that if alan brought back the victim he would make him gray. on the walls you can also see the lasso, color picker, brush, eraser, and the hand. all of which he used against alan in the fight they had.
wait... I didn't even think of that. Now I'm 100% convinced that's who it is. I'm sure this series is gonna be about his story now.
He's gray because according to Alan stick figures age faster than humans so yes it is Victim

CGP GREY 💀💀💀
I love how each of the mercenaries has his own style of animation and they take advantage of that to fight, the pixels, he has the sword, the guns, the attack of jojos, the rock painting has the spear, the bow, the hulk shape, game&watch has the slow animation, the signal with which he erases the bird and the stickman with the glasses has the magnifying glass, the loop, the selector, it's incredible the variety of animation styles that this has

Something I noticed while TSC was originally trying to fend off the mercenaries, the specific things he created were actually poor matches against the three mercenaries he sent them against.
For Ballista, he sent flying sharks at him. That’s crazy. The man is looks like he’s made for crazy. Maybe something cold and calculated that is able to adapt and punish his moves would be better suited to fight him.
For Primal, he sent a rhino at him. Seeing from his strength and style of weaponry, he is the embodiment of ancient human hunters, which were proficient at killing large creatures. While he is able to deal with something big and tough, what about something small and plentiful? His strengths wouldn’t help all too much when there are just so many tiny things attacking him at once.
For Hazard, he sent a bird. Just a bird. A normal bird too. While it did catch him off guard, it was only an ordinary bird that he was easily able to dispose of once he got his bearings. His image would depict dangers that, while sometimes sudden, are foreseeable. Maybe it would be beneficial to send something otherworldly and truly unnatural at him, that way, he would hopefully struggle at figuring out what to do against such a danger.
I might be wrong on wether or not some of these would work, but it still interests me to think of what things would work better to fight against each mercenary.
I got nothing on Agent, I’ve not seen enough of his capabilities to think of potential ways to fight against him.
TSC Could possibly be able to fight Agent one on one without fear of getting outnumbered out of thin air because the other 3 are still struggling with TSC's drawings.

I LOVE how all the Stick Mercs have diffirent styles and powers to diffirentiate them.
An 8bit ninja, a cavepainting hunter, a sign fighter(who is animated with more choppy and stiff pose and I find it so damn cool) and a Stickman with the ability to harness photoshop.
It’s such a clever way to diffirentiate the mercs and show their powers. Typically lackeys are hard to distinguish from each other but each of these guys are unique and it’s so cool!
Damn Indie Animation has been eating good lately, the Lackadaisy Pilot, Monkey Wrench Ep 2, and now AvA S6 E1.
Super long
Knowing how the 4 Stick Figures came from SticksFight, I assume that those mercs came from different websites destroyed by Chosen One and Dark Lord back then.
And to top it off, this is all done without dialogue!
I can think of their names (can suggest better ones lol)

This is another masterpiece in the making. The mercenaries are all so unique, one is pixelated and fights with cartoony weapons, one is using medieval weapons because it's artstyle looks like the cave paintings of the cavemen, one is the standard symbol for a drawn man and mostly does a certain set of poses like the poses on signs you can see everywhere, and one can use the flash tools to fight. Would love to see more of The Second Coming's powers.
i think they might be specific references, but I'm not sure what, except for the pixel guy. He is definitely that flipnote stick figure that would beat the shit out of a wall/whatever else

I like how the villains actually have their own unique style and personality. The pixel dude has an anime-like style. The bathroom/warning sign character is real Mr. Game-and-Watch vibes. The flip note sketch has a hunting warrior prowess. And then the more refined “it’s just business” aura. Really makes me excited to see how this develops and how enjoyable these fights are gonna be.
Edit: The mercenaries are antagonists and so far have not shown signs of being a super mega evil villain corporation. The sketch is a cave man drawing, which makes much more sense than what I thought.

The transition from intense action sequences to Alan and the stick figures having some lighthearted violence between friends gave me some intense emotional whiplash but also made me giggle with delight at how much fun they were clearly having :)
For me, it's the tiny visual gags.
When they're play-fighting at the beginning, and Alan puts his "hand" up when Blue holds him up... only to use the Hand tool to yank the entire stage up and send Blue flying.
I still can’t believe Alan went from little shenanigans with the Chosen One, to entire plots and characters, and finally to the intensity in this stickman coucil and the animation going so high budget. This journey was so far. Great job, Alan.

These new 4 stick figures are so great. I love their distinct fighting styles:
- Adobe Stickman uses Windows / Adobe tools as weapons and gadgets
- Cave Art Guy uses tribalism like tactics complimented by their scary raw brute strength
- Sign Guy uses an unpredictable movement pattern to get the upper hand in close combat while also using signs as different abilities
- Pixel Stickman uses a vast versatile arsenal of different weapons that generates from their body
Same. Can’t wait to see them in action again.
Plus, Adobe moves like a sticknodes character with very straight limb segments, so I nicknamed them "Nodes" since it also sounds a little like "Neo" with the shades and all
Sign Guy = great super smash bros ultimate character ngl
I don't think they are from Adobe. While they have the toolbar from Adobe as some sort of "Toolbelt", they seem to be more like a Pivot Animator stickman. Since their limbs are straight stiff and the solid white head and flat angular glasses are something that would easily be done in the application. They seem to be using Adobe as more as a tool.
No only 3 is new that 1 is the oldest one
I love how in just this first one, it seems like they’re trying to arrest TCO for their crimes against stickmanity, but at the end and through the next one it becomes clear that Victim is going after TCO for what he knows about The Animator or because he suspected they were working together. Whether it’s a warped version of justice or just plain revenge is open to interpretation right now, but I love the narrative without the dialogue.
@@KZFKreation i think revenge because in previous ep, TCO and TDL cause many chaos together, TCO is gonna be seen as guilty by asociation

Dang. So CGP Grey is a secret agent when he's not making videos.
Not enough people are talking about how AWESOME these new antagonists are. Pixel, Grease Pencil, and Traffic Sign (as I call them) are all so unique and each have such awesome animation styles, abilities, and fighting styles that work so well in this world, but are also so fun to watch. I can’t wait to see how they’re evolved upon in the future
After seeing the release of VI Ep2, I returned to watch the whole series over again.
Something I noticed which may or may not be important: at the end of this episode, when the mercenaries show the Wanted poster to claim their reward, _the Wanted poster is printed in monochrome._ Food for thought.
Something I noticed is that in the very first animation in this series the weapons victims clones use are the same as the ones they use in the newest one
I'd like to point out something else for those who might have missed it. The pencil tool from the mercenaries is shown to be powerful in the hands of TSC multiple times in the second episode (perhaps too powerful). I'm calling him using a backup pencil from his pocket later. Check it out at 5:59 in this episode.
Correction, the pencil they took was the one that fell from his pocket already. I thought he somehow got one of theirs.
so...? i don't get it
Why does it matter what colour its printed in
this has got to be my favorite episode so far, even after "the box" I still think I like this one more. it's funny when it needs to be, it's suspenseful, it's emotional, it's animated better than just about anything else I've seen, maybe even better than most of the netflix cartoons I've watched, it's incredibly well thought out
I could go on but I feel we'd be here for a few hours
I jus-
it's perfect
Imagine what it would be like if Alan had the resources of a big studio, the kind of masterpiece that he'd create.

Something that I've always been enamored by with this series is how much personality each character has-showcased most by their diverging interests and fighting styles. This is best shown in the Animation vs Minecraft playlist, since there's the most time into that and the most opportunities to give them all the tools to meld their interests and their fighting style. Despite this, most of the main 5 don't have that level of integration between interests and fighting style outside of AvM.
Obviously TSC has the most screentime, and his signature creativity has been shown from their introduction in AvA4-both in terms of figuring out different ways to defeat Alan and in terms of integrating drawing-based summons. AvA4 and 5 both showcased the latent explosive energy buried deep inside of TSC as well, though it's clear that said energy is not readily available to them. Between this episode and Animation vs Math, we see exactly how TSC can figure out complex strategies from simple escalation in logic, and that translates well into their fighting style even WITHOUT Minecraft items. Animation vs Pokémon, Animation vs League of Legends… we see it everywhere. TSC is easily the most developed on this front.
Second place is Yellow, actually. Yellow's love of engineering and coding shines through so well in Animation vs Minecraft, what with the redstone contraptions and the command blocks. But even outside of the world of Minecraft, we see Yellow's interest show itself in other places-Animation vs Arcade Games shows Yellow as effectively the main character for once, and they use their coding skills to great use for problem solving. And there's also the important point where Yellow was the only one capable of figuring out how to summon Alan in AvA5 to help TCO fight TDL. No, this isn't fully integrating Yellow's interests into their fighting style, but it's a lot closer than the other three. I can imagine Yellow continuing to be the one hacking into systems, disabling cameras, taking control of automatic defense weapons, maybe even being the one to figure out how to hotwire one or more of those weaponized vehicles from this episode (which are apparently potent enough to give TCO a lot of trouble).
Red and Green are at similar levels of development outside of AvM. Red's personality does shine through in their impulsiveness and pioneer-level problem-solving (with how they're usually the first one to try some weird strategy that the others quickly adopt when those ideas work), but Red is much more known for their affinity for animals nowadays. Meanwhile, Green's personality shines a bit less than Red's, with Green being much more perfectionistic and show-offy; though it does bleed through with having the flashiest weapon in the sparing section of this episode, I feel that Green should be at least on par with TSC in hand to hand combat by this point. In both cases, their personalities and interests only vaguely inform their fighting styles outside of the Minecraft world, and I hope they can become much more fleshed out. (Red especially deserves a notable win, seeing how they tend to go down first in many confrontations.) Since TSC is currently captured, I would love for Red and Green to become the two main fighters of the remaining four; Green could be adept at utilizing pretty much anything as a weapon (harkening to how proficient they are with the fishing rod during combat), while Red could be the one with the most unwieldy yet strangely effective tactics (perhaps with the emphasis on being the one to strike first). In fact, maybe Red could show themself as the fastest of the four after this episode, at least marginally.
And then there's poor Blue. In Minecraft, at least Blue can provide some incredibly potent support through potions and agriculture, both of which are easily accessible and weaponizable in the Minecraft world. Blue does also have some aptitude with ranged weapons, which is hinted at during the sparing match between the stick fighters and Alan, but that's so little compared to the others. Unless they begin specializing in ranged weapons specifically, I'm not sure how Blue's AvM specialty can be translated well into non-Minecraft situations. If anyone else has any thoughts about Blue, please let me know! I am at a loss with this one.
Now, I'm bringing up Red, Green, and especially Blue as a criticism purely because of how many other stick figures that have been brought in so far. Purple quickly gained a reputation as an opportunist, using quite literally anything they can get their hands on to give them an advantage (such as the character ability files in Animation vs League of Legends); they were very quickly shown to be willing to cheat and fight dirty, which immediately sets Purple apart from the main 5. King Orange, meanwhile, is much simpler and brutish in their approach to combat, relying on their ability to simply overpower others and facetank what they can't (granted, we have not seen Orange outside of AvM, so who knows how that would translate). The Chosen One and The Dark Lord have similar powers, but their personalities shine in the level of efficiency and brutality they both have, with TDL having a bit more brutality than TCO; the virus powers in AvA5 also helped to better differentiate TDL from TCO.
And then there are the four mercenaries(?) in this episode, who brilliantly showcased personality and style in their one fight against TSC. 'Flipnotes' has a style of overwhelming the target with a flurry of blows, which no other character has. Caveman really showcases low-tech weaponry and brutal strength. Stopsign is quite literally forced to be economical in motion, so that gives a feeling of deliberate control. And then Glasses is the one with the most screentime and personality shown, being both economical with tactics and being almost obsessive with taking control; I dare say that Glasses already developed a grudge against both TCO and TSC, which could be why Glasses went out of their way to personally embarrass TSC when they very much didn't have to. Point is, their personalities show loud and clear in their actions and fighting style.
I know you put a lot of love and care into these characters. It's obvious, and I love your team for it! As such, I am very much looking forward to whenever the next part of AvA6 is completed. The ending of this part makes me think that the four fighting stick figures will be driving the plot forward, and I'm excited to see how all four of them will be further characterized outside of Minecraft-especially considering how outmatched they all currently are. But they've fought through seemingly insurmountable odds before, and I can't wait to see how they manage to do so here.
Nah bro just wrote the dictionary
Flipnotes was fucking bad asss. When he started running towards TSC and his head turned into a turret that was dope asf
why are you talking about all the characters
You didn't mention Victim, he's the first to start the series.
@@animatörünoyunckatölyesi I didn't mention Victim because he was not created during a time when Alan got good at showcasing personality through animation. Victim also has not shown up in any other episode until now, so there has literally been no opportunity to GIVE Victim a personality. Talking about them was not useful for the point I was trying to make.
I really love this. You clearly appreciate this character building thoroughly and I respect that 100%. Thank you for being so detailed in this, it helps me understand them even better as well (I’ve made similar observations).
For Orange, I think he gives me the vibes of someone who isn’t very experienced (knowledgeable, yes, but not experienced) doing their best- the perfect way to describe them from fighting style to backstory. Orange’s tactics are very one-note, typically using Netherite in big hits, relying completely on large constructs. Which reflects his lack of experience perfectly, knowing what the best block is but not using every block to its fullest.
Is that the original stickman from AvA 1? That would be insane, truly bringing it around full circle. There’s also something so poetic about the animation becoming the animator.
I’m mostly just astounded at the quality. This kind of stuff belongs in theaters, and here we are, having it gifted to us out of passion and love for the craft. We can never thank you and your talented team enough, Alan.

This series makes me feel as many things if not more than anime. And I do not say that lightly.
Scott Buckley killed it, per usual, I’ve fallen in love with his music through y’all. The character development for everyone is always so tastefully done, and the pencil tool as a weapon??? Is one of the most inspiring things??? I have seen in my entire life???
And the scenes over Alan’s shoulder looking at his screen, pre disaster and post disaster, made me laugh out loud. This is such a masterpiece, the detail in the animation, the kinetic choreography of the fights, the different animation styles- I’m floored, I’m so happy I saw this.
5:39 Lil happy dance
Alan single-handedly keeping alive an era of the internet that never had to leave in the first place
15:33 THATS the deserved one!! IN DID, HE’S NOT A FANMADE ANYMORE!!!!! YES! LES GO! also... THAT'S NOT VICTIM!! alan would say "hey guys! i watched the deserved one and i didn't comment on their videos and i will make AVA VI with the deserved one at the finale! i will recreate victim in ep 2 or lying! stay tuned!"
@@ANGYVJMejorParaTodos it’s victim stop fighting a losing battle
@@ANGYVJMejorParaTodoswho's the deserved one ??
@@Ahmad_1799 Fan made character
That's actually victim from what we know
@@iiDTC Maybe i can do victim survived!
As a pixel artist, you wouldn't believe how inspiring that pixel stickman and its animation were. I wasn't fully into the idea of doing stick figure animations, but now I am all in for it! Hopefully I'll keep this inspiration going and get to making something soon.
Same
Gave me massive flipnote hatena vibes (ik that's probably the point)
Alan and his team are absolute masters of their craft, turning something beloved into a legend. Astounding work. (grey is also a great colour for the villain)
the villain is a victim the first creation of alan
@@waltermendoza6791 wait fr?
Victim getting revenge after alan left him?
@@SlipperyFellow720 yeah someone was able to confirm that alan said if he were to bring back victim, victim would be gray. Also the animation style for this character is similar to victims in the first ava, which is uneven lines. You can check by looking at their head when they lean closer in this episode.
@@candlestixsmixedwithtrixs even without knowing that I already knew it was the victim because there has only been 4 stick figures drawn by alan with 2 of them being black and in the background you can see the adobe key frames
6:53 Alan be like: Bruh
Lol
Lol poor him
For all those reading this comment, go back to the "Cherry blossoms" short. There, if you look closely when purple is walking the streets, you'll see the EXACT "Wanted" poster for TCO as the one at the start of this episode. Now, this tells us two things:
1. Purple, King Orange, and TCO all live in the same "AvA" world.
2. Maybe, just maybe, purple and King Orange will make an appearance in the AvA series.
Maybe they’ll appear as allies to help sc and tcp defeat the people who were hunting them down
I think you are right, beacause at the end of AvM, Purple, Orange, SC , Red, Blue, Green and Yellow all became friends
@@BedfBjk-ee1ue yeah so they might use the Minecraft stuff they have to help them
Fnaf lore
i was thinking the same. the orange king come back in some way to get revenge...
If Alan and his team make a movie, I feel like it would be a huge success. Their work is absolutely phenomenal. I would be more than willing to pay. I'm sure there are a lot more people who feel the same way.
Oooo I wish. But just shorts take literally weeks or even months to produce. So we probably won’t be getting a movie for a very long time, and even if we did he’d probably have to cancel most of his other projects since it would literally take years and years to storyboard, write, direct, and animate an entire movie! So he probably won’t do anything like that anytime soon. Or at least until AVA and AVM has a definitive ending ending and he has no other projects to work on.
Yes
10:18 jojo referance ?
15:33 THIS MAN IS NOT EVEN A FANMADE ANYMORE!!! HIS NAME IS…
@@ANGYVJMejorParaTodos know how ep 2 is gonna be like the thing is that king orange and. Purple are gonna have a comeback
Didn,t you notice in the short cherry blossoms there was a wanted the chosen one poster
That means purple and orange are coming to the rescue they escape to the minecraft dimension and once they go to the pc and get the mc icon block it,s game over for everyone
I absolutely LOVE the fact that Alan included the very first stickman. The cave painting kind. And the way it fought was awesome too.
Como se sabe que es el?
@@edwardelric2651 Referencias en su sala a iconos del Macromedia Flash del Windows XP. También porque tiene una cabeza hueca y que se mueve en fotograma como pasaba en las 3 primeras animaciones (Incluso TCO y TDL tenía esto, pero después nunca lo volveríamos a ver), como también de que los Fans sabían que lo cambiarían a Gris en una futura aparición para diferenciarlo de TCO.
i think there was eztoons too
10:18 jojo referance ?
ALMOST 100M!!!
THIS is how you mix nostalgia with story progression.
The amount of characterics this legend of a man (and the rest of the team of course) can add to stickfigures is so fascinating. The four agents and the boss, WOW!
I have a theory. Since who we likely see at the end is victim (who, for those who do not know, is the very first stick figure brought to life by Alan) even though it was thought they were deleted, this leads me to believe/theorize that there might be another stick figure alive: The Dark Lord. Since Victim somehow survived literal deletion, TDL may have survived the laser blast by TSC. Furthermore, if TDL is, in fact, alive, I believe that victim may be working for TDL, or it may be the other way around. Even if this isn’t what ends up happening, I believe victim’s goal is to become a god by taking TCO’s powers, and/or to seek revenge on Alan for trying to delete them.
Unrelated, but It would be really cool to see Orange (King) and Purple appear as allies against victim and their workers. It’s possible, because we see the wanted poster for TCO in a short made by Alan Becker called “Cherry Blossoms” that purple is in.
Sorry for the paragraph, this is just what I predict will happen in upcoming episodes of AVA.
ilk olarak bu yorumu okuyana kadar kurbanı unutmuştum hatırlatma için teşekkürler ikinci olarak TDL'nin ölmediğini bende savunuyorum daha sonradan başka bir bölümde onu yeniden görmeyi umut ediyordum ve ikisinin beraber çalıştığı tahmini çok mantıklı.
Rly good theory but orange and purple become allies nah alan is too tired to do that
I think it would be cool if the king joined with the Minecraft/command block staff and used that to fight amongst the godlike fighters
The dark lord was oblirated into oblivion by tsc while victim was simply deleted
I ain’t readin allat
Man, i can gush for hours about Alan's animation skills, but holy crap even his character concepts alone is amazing. Every single one of those mercenaries has a unique way of fighting and is extremely fun to see animated. Amazing work, Alan! You were a huge inspiration to me for pursuing animation.
The best mercenary has to be toilet guy
@@NormalMariokarter what what guy???
@@mrShift_0044 the guy from the bathroom signs
Flipnote guy is the most based character in the series
@@superlagbro192 if you recognize and are cool with flipnotes, youre cool in my books 😎
What a masterpiece Alan has truly made his time great on RUclips
The fact 16 years later and Alan still uploads stickman animations is respectable, he is a RUclips veteran
This was crazy! 🔥 Alan has to be the greatest stickman animator of all time...
Hey look guys it’s the real walter white
indeed
Yeah
bro waltuh why you everywhere
Like good old times... This is even better than just "masterpiece", but even more with flash-style and other nostalgia... I have no words to describe, but to see Editor-Guy team and the old-new Victim - I've almost cried as we may see Purple and Orange again, and even 2D Minecraft animation into 3D world and everything, more and much better than it has been. I'm pretty glad Alan's team with himself, their mades, walk from my childhood to the nowadays!
I wouldn't expect to see anything Minecraft related in this series due to rights issues.
@DORAEMON EN ESPAÑOL I'm not sure how that relates to what I said.
The fact that TCO, one of the strongest stick figures on the internet, was defeated by 4 mercenaries says a lot. This new series is going to be very exciting.
Also, Victim is back?!
Guess who’s back? Back again?
Victim’s back!
Tell a friend!
I wonder what beef the Victim has with the Chosen One
@@TonkMan64 Maybe he is wanted because of all the destruction he made along TDL throught the internet? idk
It could be that "Victim" is jealous that the "Chosen one" Alan's second creation gets super powers and wants it for himself to probably get revenge on Alan for being his mundane punching.
Oh that's who it was? Since i never watched the original series I thought it was a severely scarred Dark Lord.
11:22 “FLINTLOCK WOODDDDD!!” Ahh run man I love this
This is proof that you don’t need dialogue nor complex character design to create a masterpiece.
Can we appreciate the clean shifts in and out of 3d, that is a masterpiece of an animation that works so well with the style.
yes
True but like any other it feels like an anime In 3D
@@danion1014 exactly. The fact that this can originate from a simple animation over a decade ago is literally insane.
I'm really impressed the amount of effort put into this is definitely on par with some really high quality animes
From what started as a simple cartoon style fights now into fully fledged anime battles, you have come a long way and put in amazing effort into your projects. Please dont stop animating we love what your doing! 💙
anime?
OMG WTH 10 DOLORS ON A YT VID MAN HE MUST BE HAPPY WOAH
I mean he deserves the 10 hes soo good at yt
@@XeshTM yes this is an anime
@@Quate64 WOAH
Watching Alan play with his animations is so wholesome
I've never seen literal stick figures, something that anyone can draw, have so much action and emotion than some popular series today. This series definitely deserves more than just being on RUclips
True
Even better is the fact there's zero spoken dialogue
@@UnknownLemmingor facial expression
Yeah but if they get into the wrong companies hand like Disney they will suck out all the life from the show
ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE A GOD DAM MOVIE EVEN THE MINECRAFT SERISE!
It's amazing to me how well you can understand the flow of everything here. Alan and the team are ones of the most talented people here on YT. To tell a full story without any word and still giving us the viewers a clear and intense fighting and story building. I glad I found it 8 years ago by chance and glad to see how it came and became better every year.
Yeah, and even better it can be understood by people who speak other languages.
nice bro
Really clever storytelling here - show the viewer that having access to a whole toolbar is powerful enough to win a fight against the entire main 5 working together, and then reveal that the villain has one. Love this.
Which has all the power.
Spoiler xd
That villian is victim from the first animation
I never noticed that. Great catch!
It's really nice when Alan was fighting with his stick figures for fun, he did everything to not hurt them too much
As stated by DJ on AvG, Alan is extremely good at telling stories without needing words to tell them. This new series + the other AvA + AvM has so much to unpack especially if you can see all the tiny details. Well done, Alan. Well done.
Especially when you consider that everyone had to coordinate between everyone else.
nice bro
I hope the next generation will never miss the opportunity to experience how good this channel is and his simple stick animations
Simple? These are far beyond simple they're complex and higher quality than some movies
I literally show all if these to my younger sisters and they are obsessed with it 😂
4:35 - 5:38 Let's be honest, Alan honestly had so much fun with toying the stick figures.
Like at this point it's just routine to him
Alan was too unfair lmfao
The way he emotes and taunts on them is hilarious. Flippin hilarious how he types the emoticons. I escpecially love when he put his hands up and just pounded blue.
I am mpre impressed about his ability with shortcuts to keep up with the stickmen fight lol
@@sebastianr.1919 After what happened years ago, he’s experienced with some degree of stick fighting.
WOW! Alan’s quality is INSANE!!! Comparing this to season 1, Alan’s team really amped it up!!!!! WOWW
the fact that the next episode is taking so long to post means one thing. THE ANIMATION IS GOING TO BE FIREEE
^^ I Can Absolutely AGREE🎉🎉
I honestly can’t wait for the next episode. It’s been three months, and the anticipation is killing me!
@@fullofepiknessam not sure about that cause sure it has bean 3 months but he was uploading stuff
@@Ninjago-Verse dude. hes a VERY skilled animator, he can work on multiple projects at the same time.
@@aidenyorke2132plus, he has a team of animators helping him out (people seem to forget this).
Seems like they are aiming for a new vid/animation each month based on their current upload schedule.
5:31 the fact that Alan could've right clicked , select all, and then delete their weapons and easily win but didnt shows just how much he's come to trust them on his computer
He wanted to make the fight fair
gotta say, did not expect CGP grey to be the main antagonist of this installment. But I am here for it.
Dude, why. I legit have an entire notebook dedicated to AvA lore and now i can't stop laughing because you called Victim (dw abt the name) CGP grey. i watch both channels, and my god i cant stop laughing. Take my like and GTFOOH.
@@silver_studiosStArZVictim is the grey dude at the end, not the glass-wearing dude.
Y
@@silver_studiosStArZ He was referring to the glasses guy, CGP Grey uses a very similar avatar
@@silver_studiosStArZ I think you’re a little off…
The originality of Alan Becker is impeccable.
It still feels so surreal seeing both TSC and TCO by each other in such a detailed animation.
Two worlds coliding together.
For those who don’t know:
The Chosen One: The black stick figure
The Second Coming: The orange stick figure
@@Md5offical And the grey stick figure? Is. Not. Victim!!
@@sleepyhead7420 if you're talking about the stick figure in the end, it is victim actually
The deserved one aka victim: the grey stick figure
@@RiptideFlashSource?
something interesting I noticed, the Chosen One's innate heroics can actually be seen in the initial chase. yes obviously the stopping the rubble from hitting the random guy, but also notice how he almost exclusively aims for his pursuers vehicles during the chase as apposed the the people themselves
If the grim reaper was at my doorstep I wouldn't use my gun to shoot my mom through the window. It's in his best interest either way to aim at his pursuers because aiming at the civilians has no use and they're really hard to hit accidentally when they're that high up.
@@skeptic_lemon I feel like something got confused at some point because the only mention of civilians I did was the civilian he saved, which he went out of the way to do. maybe I didn't phrase the last part correctly? if that is the case, let me rephrase it.
if you notice he seems to mostly aim at his pursuer's vehicles as apposed the pursuers themselves
@@jondw wait
ooooooooooohh
when you said "he seems to mostly aim at his pursuer's vehicles as apposed the pursuers themselves" I read the second mention of pursuers as "people" and thought you meant the civilians. My bad, I'm dumb. I didn't actually notice that though. Nice catch!
@@jondw i think most of that is just because TCO dodge his pursuers so the shots they made that was aimed for him went off course instead
@@duythuchoang5095 Is this a cause of the Chosen One destroying games at first, and now must pay for his crimes?
