22:40 a man who has eyes of revenge for the lost of his son, he doesn’t realize he has become the thing he truly hated. He took away alot of people, he realized. He has become his worst enemy. The moment he realized he tried to save purple just like he tried to with his son, he realized he made some memories with purple. Even without emotions or eyes or faces nor speech you can see how dedicated king orange is to save purple, Amazing details Alan. Real amazing, made me tear a bit.

My brother and I are nearly 30 and found ourselves enjoying the creativity and whimsy of the series, thinking it was just "good content targeted at a younger demographic"... but then we hit this one and we cried for nearly two hours at King's backstory... holy crap man, that was incredible! Several days later and I'm still choking up just thinking about it; I can't remember the last time a story hit me that hard... thank you for your awesome work.

Not even Mojang can think of it! Thank you, Alan Becker. Edit: Jesus guys, I get that it may not be ending for good, but you never know when all good things come to an end eventually. Not all things last forever you know. Edit 2: Goddamn so many likes.. dunno if I'll bypass this current one anytime soon.. and can y'all calm down now?

Funny thing is King is taller than the rest of the crew since he's an adult. IN theory, the crew (Red, blue, green, yellow, and TSC) are just kids or teens, purple included. So in hindsight King was hurting childern.

Here's my favorite little details that are the reason I rewatch this every night instead of sleeping: 14:52 - Purple doesn't attack or push away King Orange, just holds the staff barely out of his reach. He's probably a little shocked at what he has done, I know I would be. 15:22 - Something I have noticed demonstrated multiple times before and after this episode is that Yellow is easily distracted and puts his guard down when surprised. He jumps/falls backwards when scared and has difficulty multitasking, seemingly only being able to put his full focus on one thing at a time. 15:54 - Just Green pulling Purple back in this moment. Thats all. 16:33 - Red leans slightly closer in this moment. He is probably partially traumatized after being possessed (I'll talk more about that later), but still wants to see whats gonna happen. 16:47 - Herobrine has a certain care for his students which is shown here as just the simple act of getting them out of there instead of attacking in that moment. 17:54 - It really just looks like Red is being pulled around like a puppet. Also, is there any reason that of all the sticks, Herobrine always goes for Red? It could have been cuz he was the closest, but there could also be a deeper reason, and if so I must know. 18:05 - Can this music get any better? This is literally a work of art. 18:41 - As an animator myself, I would just like to say HOO BOY IS THAT SMOOTH MY GOD this entire sequence of regenerating the body parts of this... stick tron thing, it just blows my little animator brain away. 18:56 - Purple swooping in to catch Red here shows that he really is just on their side now and just wants to make sure everyones ok. 19:22 - Being possessed, despite obviously wearing on his body, is probably not why Red was knocked out. I mean, did you see how King Orange just beat up Red? Also Purple is just there making sure that Reds ok. 19:24 - Im pretty sure Purple has mostly just caught people this scene. Also, the way that Orange looks at Purple like he's honestly surprised Purple saved him is very interesting and shows how its a bit harder for Orange to trust people, especially with previous evidence stating otherwise. 20:08 - Red regains consciousness and only takes a second to be helped up (by Orange and Purple, although Yellow reaches over to try and help.) before he is on his feet ready to fight again. He looks at everyone else like: "well what are you waiting for come on guys!" Red is a fighter. He perseveres. 20:24 - Red may be on his feet but despite usually being one of the fastest runners of the group, he visibly lags behind here, he's definitely worn out after that possession. 20:48 - Yellow notices how glitched Orange is, as he was hit the hardest with that blast. I like how when he's worried for someone, Yellow reaches out a hand as if he is unsure what to do but wants to help. 20:53 - Red is just not gonna give up. He can get knocked down over and over again but as soon as he's able to move, he's gonna put his all into fighting agin. 21:32 - King Orange does what I can only assume is the fastest double take in human history, as he glances back at where Purple just was. Also, he stops for just a second when pushing away Yellow. Maybe cuz he looks like King Oranges son? 21:40 - Green and Purple, despite just being glitched away, are quick to get back up into a more fighting-like position. They are the only ones that do this. Green, however, fails and is only able to fall forward. 21:44 - After taking a quick look at Red, Purple does the most Red thing I have seen. He gets back up, just like Red did, and walks right back into the danger. I wonder if he admires this about Red, and is trying to be more brave himself. 21:52 - CLARINET AND VIOLIN HAVE A CONVERSATION!!! THIS IS LITERALLY THE INSTRUMENTS THEY HAVE AS THEIR NOTE BLOCK VOICES TALKING AND RESPONDING. Green looks at Purple with a very weak clarinet, as if to say, "No, please don't do this. You're just gonna die." While Purple responds with a confident violin, saying, "Im gonna die anyway. Might as well die fighting." 22:01 - This is the melody that Purple used in his song about his dad. It plays as he walks up to King Orange. 22:50 - I had been wondering for a while whether this world was 2D or 3D to them, this confirmed my theory. 23:16 - I think in this moment we see King Orange put more effort into any of the fighting he was doing previously. Even when he was fighting for his life, he never seemed as hell bent on anything as he was on saving Gold. Now, he's working just as hard to save Purple. 23:51 - While everyone seems like they want to do something to stop this, Orange actually is still acting like it's possible. He runs up while everyone else has this air or "Its hopeless" around them, and until he gets his last ditch effort idea, everyone else is only half trying. 24:02 - Orange, ever the protective oldest bro, is putting his arm in front of the others to make sure the disintegrating light doesn't hurt them. 24:10 - Blue was gonna try next, but Orange GRABBED IT OUT OF THE POOR WEED ADDICTED CHILDS HANDS. How could he? 24:53 - They caught him. 24:56 - RAINBOW ORDER :D 25:12 - Blue is too pure for this world he's trying to save all the piglings that are getting pulled in, and every time Yellow has to remind him that he probably shouldn't die. 25:23 - Blue did the thing again. 25:41 - Yellow is trying to pull Orange back and save him. Im not sure exactly why, but Yellow has seemed very conscious of Oranges safety in this episode. 27:25 - He finally broke the glass. 27:47 - King Orange literally died to give Purple a well deserved hug. He just needed a hug. I hope King Orange adopts Purple. 28:37 - Camera angle of the century. 28:54 - At even the slightest idea that maybe Purple is on King Oranges side and they are both evil again, Orange runs in front of his brothers to protect them. 29:25 - Yellow and Blue use their collective twin power to shame King Orange for all his wrongdoing. (Also, it really seems like Purple, Green, and Red have become a bit closer and are maybe friends now?) 30:02 - Not only do they all hug Purple, just like Green sung about, but his instrument Is played in the background, as is Purples. 31:31 - Ruben, (the pigs name,) is still wearing the crown.

Man, that scene where King Orange hugs Purple makes me cry. Every. Single. Time. There's just so much symbolism from the violin playing, to the fact that King Orange finally broke through the glass, and to break through the glass he had to break through the angry rage-and-revenge-fueled version of himself, and it was Purple on the other side of it instead of his son, and King's glass shards look like Purple's flower petals... I could go on. It's just so good. Oh yeah, and the fact that the melody from Purple's song in the previous episode plays when he's running towards King- just emphasizing how it mirrors the desperate struggle Purple's made to get to that father figure all his life- it makes my little musician brain explode with happiness. When I first watched that part, I recognized the melody instantly, and I pretty nearly screamed from excitement.
18:02 the obsidian stick man just gave me a type of nostalgia I have never felt

I saw this one loving detail at 30:00, Purple put the crown on the pig which was a Technoblade detail. It broke my heart when I saw it.
I really loved that in the wall drawing sequence, it shows him blinded by pure rage and takes his frustration out on the game. Hurting anyone and everyone in it, he didnt realize that he was hurting his son too. I hope that The King gets a happy ending where he gets his original son back somehow and have a happy ending.

The idea that this entire series started with a lone stick figure and a dream would baffle my past self. The work you put in truly shows through the creation of a rich story and well written characters. I always tear up when watching things with well written characters and despite either being a long time fan or a new viewer, it shows how much effort one has put forward to create a work of art.

The recent episodes in the series are plainly incredible-- absolutely incredible pieces of storytelling. A perfect example of showing so much more than telling. Glad to have been on this ride since its beginning, and as much as I want more AVM shorts, I hope it's continued in a way that respects this episode being the finale to an epic story.

10:09 OH MY GOSH. I JUST REALIZED THE ROCKET LOGO FROM AVA IS ON THE TV. this could mean so many things like: Rocket is a popular tech company that’s secretly evil King orange and purple live where the most recent AVAs take place and could be in it as a plot twist, help out or even bring Minecraft friends with them. And so much more… If y’all have theories reply to this because a theory could be right
@invalid_user_handle
14 күн бұрын
It isn't so much a _theory_ as it is fact. The stick-figure world where Orange and Purple came from is that same world that was, presumably, revolutionized by the Rocket corporation, whatever their real name is, making both series undeniably linked. Of course there's numerous questions left unanswered about that world in the first place; like where is it physically? The sky is made up of each unique IP Address for all computers on the Internet, so is that world supposed to be the literal representation of the endless linked network servers? What's the Rocket corp's real motive behind their control over that world, and especially what's Victim's goal in it? Better yet, in one of those AvA VI episodes, when Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow try to ask the resident figures about the Corporation, they try to resist the question entirely and refuse to answer it... just what is their real involvement besides what we've seen? But that's all beside the point; the real question is, since the Minecraft world exists seperate to it, but it's objects still persist even in the stick-world and function as expected, and as you've said, will that fact ever become involved in the AvA's story, even if Minecraft isn't necessarily the focus? Well to answer that, I'd somehow doubt that Purple would remain uninvolved in this forever, since they're basically the honorary 6th member of the crew along with the original 4 and TSC, and if Purple were to be captured when trying to investigate their sudden disappearance... well, I'd reason that Orange wouldn't be happy about it. I couldn't imagine the kind of carnage that the Staff equipped with a command block could cause if used to it's fullest extent; just one '/fill ~-20 ~-20 ~20 ~20 ~20 ~20 minecraft:air replace' command could easly remove entire buildings, and have you ever tried to do a '/summon fireball ~ ~ ~ {ExplosionPower:999}'?
Hero: I will sacrifice you for the world Villain: I will sacrifice the world for you
This episode literally made me cry. Its just so unbelievable how it all begins from Alan creating an animation where he full on fights a stickman that he drew, into 5 stickmen discovering minecraft and fighting to survive, yet discovering other characters and their motives. This was way too good!!! It was a striaght up masterpiece! The animation team and everybody did such a good job on this
I don’t often cry when watching anything, movies, shows, whatever. But this is something else. To think I cried over a battle of stick figures, who, throughout their entire existence, have never spoken a single real word. This series is an absolute masterpiece, it takes “show don’t tell” to an entirely new level. Not only is the animation absolutely incredible, but the story is so poetic yet so simple. This is genuinely one of the best things I think I’ve ever seen on the internet. I remember watching Alan Becker’s animations for years, but this is genuinely something else. Thank you, Alan, and everyone else involved, you’ve created an absolute masterpiece. The only disappointing thing is that more people don’t know about this.

Each on their own getting better and better, episode by episode. There isn't enough words that you can say, for this wordless series.
Whoa. Never would've thought that a Minecraft stick figure animation would have me tearing up. Incredible job Alan. I'm amazed.
As soon as King Orange's son got deleted, I could see where this was going-- but was still on the edge of my seat the whole time. I like how both King Orange and Purple had to accept a resolution to their problem beyond the one they thought they wanted. Real life is like that. That's how character growth happens. Hats off to Alan and his team!

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

The fact that this team was able to take stick figures in a block game and turn it into an absolute cinematic masterpiece really shows the sheer talent of everyone involved. Literally everything about this is perfect: the intricate plot with little subtilties, the animation on another level, the music that I need on Spotify right now, and even the tribute to Tecnoblade at the end, all without a single word of dialogue. This is truly a story for the ages.

The fact that the king was pretty much unstoppable at that point but switched sides at his own will (literally because of a change of heart) .That's honestly quite rare to see coming from a villain. And the fact that he's not just some kind of a dumb villain who gets wrecked after loses, he's very strong and intelligent. Literally everyone thought they had him down that one point but he's able to 1v11 with little power to get back the staff. Well written antagonist.

One thing I appreciate after watching again at 15:20 (the part where King Orange nicks the blue staff from Yellow and uses it to gain the advantage) is that this was after it was shown to us that King Orange spent a long time developing and perfecting the staff after a lot of prototypes, so it makes sense that his skills wielding the staff would far outclass everyone else who was using it. It's probably unintentionally but I like how it gives context to why he is able to use the staff as skillfully as he can; making more sense how a single staff like such can turn the tide of battle when everything seemed lost. Which in turn avoids being contrived.
No way this series is so sad but cool
So. This was an insane finale, referencing literally every episode that predates it. The final rush to get the block back to the desktop felt symbolic of them finally ending the story, much like how they did before, with everything they found and saw crumbling around them. The other thing I would like to note is how Alan managed to tie King Orange and Purple’s stories together, making them so similar to what the other lost. There is so many other moments and details that make this animation the peak of perfection. The animation is beautiful, the storytelling is creative, and it is easy to tell what is going on, all wrapped into one thirty minute episode. Insane job Alan, and the rest of the team.

This series told a better story with a greater narriative than most stuff you can find nowadays It has really managed to tell a story of "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain" in one of the best forms possible. 7 years of absolute greatness, this is one of the best conclusions we could have gotten and I absolutely love it.

What an weird and anticlimatic ending to a 1.5 year journey
This series helped me grow up. This is almost a movie on its own! When I was a kid, I thought that this was just a random animation someone made - and now to think that's its grown like this. I still vaguely remember the first one of the series - where Herobrine posesses the Red figure. And now the plot is so thick that people are making their own remakes of this! I also think the King losing his own child was painful to watch. No parent should have to go through that. But altogether, this is a full childhood animation and the idea so good it might become timeless.
Oh my god. I've just seen that at 30:48 , when they all go back through the portal, you can see blue having nether wart in his hand, which symbolises the end of his mission to get nether wart
Little bits I'm just going to note down 1:00 Purple's father Blue living his musical dream 9:16 Info about Herobrine (later seen in the episode) 9:17 Very brief look about the Titan Ravagers (really big Ravagers) 10:08 Obviously first episode of MC vs animation ever 16:08 Herobrine back from the Monster School 17:55 Herobrine possessing red just like from the very first episode and using the obsidian stick figure form 19:54 Reference to the village 19:58 Reference to the school 20:02 Reference to the Witch (who somehow got all the way back after the beat down from the pig) 27:34 Note block universe back where Purple explained to Green how he was fatherless and alone after his mother died and then (Former) King Orange coming in as the father figure in his life and Purple replacing his son 30:00 Technoblade reference RIP Edit:Came back to this and realised people actually read this also changed how things were worded a little.

17:56 for anyone who doesn’t know this is a throwback to the first original animation vs Minecraft! Like the original one 7 years ago by Alan Becker. It was about where TSC first discovered the icon and Herobrine possessed red and made him steal their icon and almost kill everybody. At the end everybody manages to swordpoint Red and finally suck the spirit out of him. But at one point he took the form of a bigger stick figure to beat everybody up, so it’s a throwback to then.
