Mok, the Magic Man | Applause

This is my entry for Liv / DannyPhantomSG1's Favourite Character Contest

as soon as i saw this contest get posted, i knew that i had to use some sort of rock and rule character
mok was by far the most fun option so here i am

there was no song that was more perfect for a mok dedication than this one and that's just the ultimate tea

for those of you that haven't seen rock and rule and have been watching my videos in abject confusion for the past 10 years, here's a lil explanation of the character
mok swagger (no, really, that's his name) is a rock superstar with multiple number 1 albums. but one day, the most horrifying thing possible happens: his latest concert doesn't sell out. what would any self respecting music sensation do in this unthinkable situation? if you answered get his brain computer to track down a girl with the perfectly pitched voice and kidnap her so she can be forced to summon a demon that will eat the audience, you were right. you're also weird but you're right

also if you're wondering why he's called "the magic man", mok's stupid stage persona thing is all about him being magical. he has all these cgi and computer tricks to pull it off though frankly some of them make no sense. like the bloke can fucking teleport. what part of the giant brain he glued his home computer to is equipped to yeet him halfway across the room? does he shop at the same electronics place as willy wonka? i need an explanation here

I know this comment is late but this still goes so hard...The movement and the typography are just stunning (0:22 and 1:00 fit the scenes so well it took me a moment for my brain to process that they weren't a part of the original film!)

[doronjosama]

I truly hope you won this contest, because this is absolutely amazing. I've been a RNR/Mok fan since 1986 when my friends and I used to rent this movie on VHS *constantly*, and I am so thrilled people are rediscovering it. Keep up the great work!
