Can't believe the people stood by as the government took away our ability to finally talk to our cats. Horrible. The greatest tragedy of the show.
...maybe they didn't. The humans are gone in this world. Why? Maybe they fought back, and the Dirty Bird didn't like that.
Don't forget catl is a thing
@@theuncalledfor The state probably killed all the rebels, just like the state does irl.
People stand around and let our government doball sorts of horrible things, this is an exxagerated example meant to make a point.
It is funny to think that the aliens may have given all of humanity the ability to possible live forever and animals complete consciousness, but it was the fact that humans liked killing and eating animals and possibly eachother so much they attempted to reverse things and ruined it all
Not surprised, it reminds me of Cream by David Firth where a scientist develops a substance that has the power to improve peoples lives drastically... that of course leads to the global elites to destroy it and the creator due to it threatening their hegemony.
No, I think was the United States mainly because if there is no constant war and constant consumption, then what’s the point.
🎉
@@Doomwolf82002 ah you also watch David Firth 🎉
"We cant prevent children starving to death think of the economy!"
The ultimate reveal of Ava playing music because she has tinnitus is great. I mean, she does use a gun a lot and, since her arms are shorter than a human's, the noise is closer to the head so it makes sense. Just made her more iconic and relatable.
Oh, also the less important reveal that the United States is the ultimate villain because of humanity's obsession with control but was that really a surprise to anyone?
The "Containment Zone" being marked is right next to the border of the park meaning this has happened before but the animals kept their minds?
And the crystal? I can only begin to guess what that is? Is it Nil's body mutated by time as to why they might glean offense from it being referred to as That Thing? Is it Gaia, the soul of the planet that the sinister deity (the CIA) is fighting? And what will happen now that the process was interrupted? A million answers and yet a billion questions.
On the non lore side this episode is just feels different and amazingly made. The visuals, the music and dialogue are all on point. I suppose it's just that this episode was a lot more dynamic and intense while the previous ones were more calm and focused on dialogue and mystery so it really stood out.
Regarding the containment zone: the previous marks are from neighboring zones, caused by neighboring stones. The reason it's dangerous to leave Shadowstone Park is because it's surrounded by areas that have already fallen.
@@filmcow So theoretically, at some point in the past, someone in Shadowstone's zone might of looked up and seen a giant rock yelling "DO NOT BE AFRAID" in a neighboring zone?
@@filmcow So you are saying, the border never kept the insane animals "out" of the park but actually kept them INSIDE while the park is the actual outside? Gosh the missdirection O-O
Got tinnitus last year, so I kinda hate that I can relate to Ava. Still a fun reveal in the series, tho. I guess the fans' purpose was also to block Ava's tinnitus.
@@danrope9897 I've had tinnitus most of my life and it sucks! As for the fans, that was a complicated method of finding and signaling the ship's entry systems.
They did it. They finally, really did it.
They found the perfect way to make their agents go all horse/bear crazy.
Underrated comment
Nobody's nipples are safe now!
wrong. everyone is rabbit crazy.
Okay, so I was pretty close I think with my theories on the previous episodes: Aliens came down, imbued sentience into all animals and made it so they could survive with anything as a food source, but humans saw the aliens as invaders that made animals conspire against them, so the CIA took over the aliens ships. I have no clue how the ghosts fit into this though.
there could just be ghosts
Ghosts just casually existing is a pretty common theme in filmcow series
@@admiralrhino4049 exactly. need i remind you of filmcow’s seminal work “The Ghost House”.
The ghosts are probably AI memories saved by the ships.
@@kiapor99 Problem being that we known the ghosts are related to the aliens since Pecan couldn't see them until they entered the ship.
It's fascinating how it all comes together... go back and watch early episodes and see how it's all so well thought up in advance.
Just did it today
I always rewatch the series before every new episode. This series has great rewatchability.
Fantastic episode, I especially liked the introduction of Binky
Blinky has been in the park the whole time
@@pacotaco1246
You mean Blinky the platypus? Yeah. He's been laying low ever since the Shadowstone started moving. What I wanna know is how Binky the peacock came back.
AAAAH! THAT ENDING IS AGONIZINGLY SUSPENSEFUL! How dare you, Jason Steele?! This is going to bother me until the next one!
This is the most relatable sentiment ever.
@@mrfivegold I'm not certain, but I think I heard Jason Steele say in last night's stream that this is not the end. I think it may be the end of "The Fall of Shadowstone," but there's gonna be another chapter to the story. Now, if someone could confirm this please? Lol
@@mrfivegold This cannot be the conclusion because nothing was concluded. The main threat still exists and the main characters are still alive - either thing has to end to be a "conclusion".
What next one? Heheh...
I was really expecting Episode 10 to be the end, but now it looks to be a new beginning.
Shadow Stone is a mature masterwork. It deserves a far wider audience.
The beginning where the shadowstone starts to lift instead of falling a little bit was insanely scary especially with the music
Twist _intro!?!_ This is freaking _awesome!_
My word. That certainly was a Fall for the Shadowstone! Park!
"Politics is when you say you are going to do one thing while intending to do another. Then you do neither what you said nor what you intended."
Each episode leaves me more fascinated than the last!
Also, by god, it's worse than we could have ever imagined.
I just want to add that the high school band kid in me's heart dropped as the Sousa began playing. Oh, the dreaded and loathed Sousa!
2:30
Okay so the timestamp isn't exactly right but i love this little reaction right here.
It's so perfectly primed to make you think binky's gone nuts or the ships making everyone go crazy, but then
"Oh binky, you haven't changed at all!" "Agh! Don't say that!"
The perfect way to just immediately establish that no binky has in fact not changed at all this is just binky being binky
I found this series a few weeks ago and I just love it! The characters, story all of it.
So everything comes full circle, yeah? Darius's line of "I should have stayed in my sad place," could probably be felt by anyone who's ever experienced depression.
"Do not be afraid, the United States is here" is a bone-chilling sentence.
What a spooky story to chill your bones
It's why the phrase "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" has a negative connotation to it whenever you hear it, they usually have ulterior motives that will only benefit them in the long run.
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”
Reminds me of biblical angels: "be not afraid".
Although in this case it's a demon.
Pretty cool when the stone rises into the sky and starts ringing and producing what looks like an A.T. field from Eva
I seriously finished this episode in double fist pumps - me and my brother love watching these together, and the pay off for the story thus far has been so rewarding. Thanks for sharing your story, dood! I appreciate it, and it brings a lot of joy to me and my brother.
Holy cow!! Binky lives!!!
Also another brilliant episode
I absolutely LOVE that zoot and her wife went through with thier plan. They are delightfully devilish!
I hope this isn’t the last episode. I really want to know the lore behind what happened to the humans.
Carl
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl
Carl’s what happened. He killed, ate, summoned meat vortexes, opened portals to collect white baby hands, and released meat dragons to the world
It was Henry Kissinger. He managed to get out of that book from Myst by fusing his mind with the CIA's email system, and became a living god in the process
@@DrFoggyPants Jason has probably repeated more times than can be counted that this has *nothing* to do with Llamas with Hats or Charlie the Unicorn. It is it's own universe, he just has a preference for apocalyptic worlds
There must be a lot of oil underneath Shadowstone Park.
“Do not be afraid. The United States is here.” The United States being involved is reason to be even more afraid than before.
If it's not these feds it'd be someone else's
@@PALACIO254 Not many feds worse than the states.
Reminds me of a joke my native friends told me when I was a kid: A bunch of natives are sitting around one winter having a contest to see who can tell the most ridiculous tall tale. One says he caught a sturgeon as big as his boat with a toothpick and his long hair, another tells about bagging a moose as big as a house, another says that's nothing! He caught a bear as big as a dinosaur with only one bullet. On and on, more and more absurd. Until there's a knock on the door and outside is a white man in a suit. He says, "Hi there! I'm from the Government of Canada and I'm here to help you."
Naturally, he won first place.
China would be much much worse.
@@alexhalstead8824 No wonder, his was the most original!
One hell of a reveal this time around.
So the aliens arrived on Earth and made all animals sentient and peaceful. Humanity didn't like that, and the CIA took control of the alien ships, reverted the changes and created containment zones for the sentient animals before the ships shut down and crashed. This particular ship crashed upright, which is why the other "Shadow Stone" parks have the rocks flat. That's also why everywhere outside of the parks is bloody and meaty; reverting the changes must've made everyone feral and now -- ironically -- only the quarantine zones are safe.
My question is why did the quarantine around Shadow Stone fail? Was it just a matter of the effect wearing off over time or did something specifically happen? And now that the ship reactivated and created new barriers, is the park safe again?
And what was the purpose of giving Lark, Eva, and now Pecan the ability to communicate with ghosts?
But, my most pressing question of all, is this the series finale??
Doesn't seem like the final. Nothing is resolved yet - plus we just got shown these stones so there is even new intrigue.
Here’s how I understand why animals started going savage
Way back when nil and the other captains stop the humans plan by forcing the ships to “discharge all their energy” with no power the ship’s stopped working and fell to the ground
But the ship’s have solar batteries so they’ve been slowly turning on again. As they do they start trying to perform whatever programming they were running, namely the cia thing, but since they still don’t have much power they only effect a few at a time.
How did the CIA even DO that?
This is tech thousands to tens of thousands of years in our future. That makes no sense.
The story and writing have been so well done, it's a complete joy of a series. The answer to the mystery is especially satisfying and funny, even when balancing the tragedy of it all. You guys have made something very special, and I can't wait to see how it concludes.
I felt real horror when the shadowstone lifted
Very underrated internet series. That and Hobo Funnie show. Your guys' works are true art.
It's like Lost but it actually has interesting twists and clever writing. Also there are clear motivations for what people are doing and why they are doing it. So it's not like Lost.
love the new shadowstone, looks nice and crystalline
This is now the rise of shadow stone park
lol this show just keeps getting better and better. your world building is incredible as always.
This series is perfect. This man cannot produce anything but heat 🔥🔥
Man this is such an awesome series, I love your work
Thanks for this :) .
I'm so glad this series has come so far and is still going.
So this whole series is about the government pulling strings in the background and how people can feel helpless about it? Like the animals forced to just go on with their lives despite their being a looming threat (in this case, a giant stone watching over everyone)? I think I got out of it with one of the animal's speeches about wanting to do something even if it wouldn't mean anything or how the two birds choose to get into other people's business and makeout. I feel like the animals are an analogy of how we're really caged up or something. All thanks to Kia.
I love the way that disability is depicted in this series.
The Shadow Stone Park theme is so beautiful and now getting more and more haunting the longer it goes on without even changing at all
I am suddenly getting the feeling that this is set sometime after "Detective Heart of America - The Final Freedom"
This really feels like final episode material, I hope theres one after but I'm not sure if there will be!
I don't think this is it. This is the definitely the climax, but there's still the resolution.
yes yes YESS this cow is MAKING films!!!
I’m presuming Binky (the peacock) experiences time in a nonlinear manner.
They're just being pretentious
I actually thought that this was some sort of sequel or spiritual successor to Lamas with hats, and that this all takes place after Carl caused the apocalypse and killed himself after realizing Paul was dead, and that the animals were able to find sanctuary in small pockets of life that happens to have a giant rock in the middle.
Most thrilling plot in a very long while.
oh how much i love anticipating and watching this series
Absolutely fantastic, as usual. I love where this is going.
God this is such an interesting series
For what it’s worth this episode is my favorite so far for some reason
That is certainly a massive lore drop, but it brings up SO many more questions.
Oh... It's not Gaia... It's Cia... That actually explains a lot.
I just binged this whole series 3 days ago. It's like ChrIstmAs came early!
"If I don't have music playin' it *drives me crazy."*
Drives crazy... hm...
i only just picked shadowstone back up after the first three episodes kicked off and ended four years ago and im so. AAAAGGGHJJ. i’m so happy this has been continued! it’s so cool seeing mysteries unravel and also get more strange and confusing and im j. GRRRR i love this series
also nil trans’d my gender
Mmmm I was literally *just* thinking about this series a couple minutes ago & it’s the first thing I see when I open RUclips. A bit of an unsettling coincidence, BUT WOOOOO NEW EPISODE LETS GOOOOO
Oh wow. It's the literal fall of the Shadowstone.
RUclips creators have been spitting out awesome videos all weekend this had been great!
This has to be my favorite series on the channel!
Les go episode 10
Perfect after bootcamp present I’ve waited years for this
I don't think I've ever clicked on a notification faster.
Only humans would be dumb enough to shoot giant death lasers while expecting you not to be afraid of the giant death lasers.
I love this series so much!
This episode really chilled my bones
YAY MORE SHADOWSTONE
This is a post apocalypse story? God I love this writing.
"...and the United States is fully prepared to take a leading role in guiding humanity through that process."
Then hardly anything can go wrong.
So the CIA wanted to have the animals go back to being non-sapient, but it backfired and now all of the humans are dead. Plus it looks like the border is caused by the lasers; why is it slightly off? While it seems like previous minor questions get answered in time, most of the major ones happen slowly as well. Of course now this late into the series there isn't much left. Unless I'm forgetting something, pretty much every question has been answered minus a few specifics. Nearing the end now.
Looks like its because the stone was in a slightly different location when the lazers blasted this time so the line is different
see yall next month
Lets go, the rock got bling!
Holy crap, has this whole series been a sequel to Detective Heart of America the entire time?!
End of Shadowstonegelion
Sweet a new episode
I love this series
It's all fun and games until the llama's hat hits the fan.
1:20
Way to interrupt a make-out session.
5:27 I was half expecting a Stage Complete screen to appear, tallying up the points with a rapid series of 16-bit chirps.
MY FAVORITE SHOW
Well done. Worth waiting for
This made my weekend ❤
I'm at the edge of my seat
Ily Cow of Film
I'm glad they managed to make out at the party before it popped off.
amazing job, keep up the amazing work, i love your videos and cant wait for moar!
Loving it.
I JUST REALIZED, the penguin said one of the number ghosts told them a command that stalls the ship, so nil or another alien must have sense that name means 0
Thank you Pancake
Okay I have to admit this episode *REALLY* threw me! ❤
Beautiful
RELNO TRIED TO WARN US
This is an unofficial Detective Heart of America sequel isn't it. It would not surprise me if he was somehow involved.
Oh. So that’s how the line got there in the first place. Huh.
Will the power of music save the day?
... I don't expect the day will be saved, having watched Detective Heart of America.
(For any who didn't notice, there's a high-pitched ringing sound that appears alongside any on-screen crazy animal. Although I did fail to hear it when Crush was visible but across the border from Lark and Nil.)
noo it's nearly over :(
he finally continued!!
I'm a little late to this as I knew I would have to mentally prepare myself lol, and man, most of what I can think to say to it right now is just YES xD Metaphorised the geopolitical posture and attitude of the US for at least the last 75 years perfectly.
Though I would just want to add, and hopefully some further inroads can be made in the next episode and series, even though you've dramatically (lol) centred this behaviour around the US and the CIA specifically, I am noting a lot of instances in the comments where people are still nonetheless reverting back to the (I would argue propagandised) misanthropic and vague/highly misdirective 'humanity' and 'humans'. There is still clearly a perceptible layer of propaganda/ahistoricism to be resolved, in order to avoid people assuming that the core problems of the world are just unknowably diffuse and that the responsibility is to somehow be moralistically distributed over everyone evenly.
thought this world was whats left of LLamas with hats...this is almost as good of a reveal... :)
"..As nature demands"
Meanwhile nature had almost instantly adapted to a post predator world
What about frogs and other such creatures? THe ones that give birth in huge numbers? What would happen to their population without predators? The world would've even in a spree of overpopulation from many, many species and then it'd be over. Alternatively, the other species could've resorted to mass murdering sapient creatures because otherwise the world would end. The CIA sped up the end of the world, since the only other options were to allow overpopulation to rapidly start draining oxygen and such. And trees that need to have their fruit eaten to spread their seeds, too. It'd overall be a negative on earth's ecosystem.
Said it once and I'll say it again: this is shaping up to be their magnum opus!
The monster….. WAS THE CIA
