The Box - Animator vs. Animation 10

PLEASE don't treat DJ's nicknames for the mercenaries as the official names: https://youtu.be/-YKn-grvBYY

Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue have officially broken the record for the WORST rescue attempt in animation history. They were on the compound for all of 10 seconds before being spotted on security cams and captured by the head mercenary.

I like how each big villain is different: Dark Lord is a thrill-seeker, Purple is someone who wants to prove himself, King Orange is driven by tragedy, and Victim is just spiteful.

I love how well Victim acts the part of the victim. He acts like he's the only stick Alan ever hurt and nobody can understand, and his search for revenge means that anything he does is justified. Anybody who stands in his way for any reason--- even The Chosen One--- is the enemy and must be destroyed. He even uses TCO's trauma against him! This is crazy stuff and I love how well Alan and his team convey emotions and concepts so well with literal stick figures. Literal faceless stick figures. I'm freaking for AVA 11, guys.

i love how TCO and victims both share trauma from the same source but went in two completely different paths. Narrative foils are always amazing

The idea of TSC's drawings being sentient is kinda scary. The way the eel shows immediate distress at the thought of being erased and immediatly attempts escape was the highlight of this episode.

DUDe the fact Alan and his team REDREW EVERYTHING FROM A FIRST PERSON PERSPECTIVE IS INSANE

Without technology, Victim is really nothing.

I just realized, the Cursor (Alan) is the one with the most power, can easily get the others out, can make more stick figures in defense, and can easily get out of any problem.

I love how much TCO adapts to the situation. Some weirdo decides to attack him but he isn’t that strong? Grab him and push him away without hurting him. His enemy is getting too strong? He fights faster. His enemy gets a speed boost? He tries to grab his opponent. His enemy wants to grab him? Use ranged attacks. He can’t use fire? Freeze himself so as to avoid damage. His enemy has a leash around his neck and clones himself? Use the clones’ weapons to cut the leash. His fire blasts are firing backwards? He aims away from the target so they’ll still hit. His memories are being read forcibly while he’s tied to a chair? Smash his head on the floor to either knock the memory reader loose or at least give himself amnesia. Not only is he naturally stronger, faster, and more powerful than his opponents, he’s also more cunning and seemingly more determined to not give in than Victim is.

I only just realized the burning of Alan's cursor was a reference to Alan's logo, a flaming cursor. The detail is insane, man.

ALT Title: Chosen constantly getting bullied and abused for 16 minutes

9:05 My favorite detail: Even without a face, you can tell Victim is PISSED that The Chosen One would've won that fight, even when nerfed to hell.

can we take a second to appreciate the backgrounds in this episode? they’re so dynamic and some are only used for a few seconds

Original title: The Box - Animator vs. Animation VI - Ep 2 Second title: The Box - Animator vs. Animation 10

Can't believe no one told me this series is still going and that it's so good

Is no one going to talk about how well that last scene with RGBY displayed their personalities? With Red and Green being the combative ones, jumping straight into action to defend the other two and Blue being the more passive one who’d rather surrender if it meant the the others wouldn’t get hurt. Also how you can see Yellow’s cautiousness and how it disappears the moment Green and Red are knocked down. The attention to detail is amazing

The quality, The history, the victim's revenge. I'm so excited for Episode 3

ALAN. PLEASE STOP MAKING TCO SUFFER.

I love how each villain is special. Dark Lord is a super terrorist who fights with viruses and is angry at the world and is kind of a dark mirror of Chosen One. The Victim was born truly powerless and so gained power through wealth and influence and fights with artificial strength through enhancements. The sunglasses dude is kinda the embodiment of the Animator villain since Alan is depicted as a good guy now and you can see that by how he fights using the animation tools. Its so sick.
