Animator vs. Animation 5-8, in one video, with edits for continuity, as well as some new music.

Not a single word spoken, yet somehow dialogue is created. This has to be one of the greatest short films ever made.


EDIT: To all the people asking about “short film”. Normal movies are usually over 90 minutes. So yes, me, and many others would consider 30 minutes as a “short film”.

Red: *is red*
The Dark Lord: *is also red*
Red: _"And I took that personally."_

I'm serious when I say this: Yellow getting Alan's attention, saying "HE'S IN TROUBLE" and "ITSMEYELLOW" is making me tear up really hard. He's like so vulnerable and they all rely on Alan in a way, for having made some of them and for informing them about the world and their existence and it's just very touching. He was really scared 😢😢

Something i really love about The Chosen One is that HE'S NOT AFRAID TO USE LASER EYES. Superman, Homelander, Vision, all these superheroes don't use lasers enough.

The Chosen One actually uses it quite a bit in his fight against the Dark Lord, and not only do the lasers SOUND clean, but they look clean too

[idontknowyet]

I love how much this series embodies the idea of creativity.

Back when Alan created the Chosen One, he did so consciously and with clear purpose: a good animated fight.

His origins can't be traced back to any intrinsic value found in the medium of animation, but to violence and combat. He was born in destruction, and thus became a *god* of destruction.

But, at the very least, you can make the argument that The Chosen One exists for more than just fighting, as he eventually loses interest in and actively starts advocating against internet-wide conquest. Despite that hesitance, however, we don't see any instances of things *he* created in the 9 year timespan between AvA III and V.

He doesn't create, nor does he take pleasure in destruction. He simply *is.*

So, what happens when you create something whose only purpose is to destroy a destroyer?

You get The Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord *never* lost his original will. He *never* grew bored of the slaughter.

If anything, he *optimized* it, polished it to a mirror sheen in the form of the ViraBots, and hoped to stomp the rest of the web into dust beneath his feet.

He *did* contribute something in that 9 year span, yes... but only something he could use to further spread misery and decay.

And then there's The Second Coming.

Created by complete accident by Alan when he was just trying to animate an orange stick figure.

The only one of the three who can directly draw his roots to a creative purpose.

Not only that, but he's also the first stick figure who we see creating living animations. (The Victim made copies of himself, and TCO, alongside TDL, never used the draw tools or anything in the animation software for anything but weapons.)

There is a very creative soul in TSC, with an imagination beyond anything any of the other stick figures are capable of, even if the full extent of that imagination is lost to him save when he is in dire need of it.

So in the end, it's not The Chosen One who defeats the Empowered Dark Lord, or Red, Blue, Yellow and Green, who started existence absentmindedly fighting each other before TSC showed them what was beyond the webpage.

It's The Second Coming.

Born in creativity, with a love for the art of animation.

The only thing that can defeat the purest of destroyers is the purest of creators.

(Or I could just be overthinking all of this and Alan just wanted to draw cool stick figures fighting in very creative ways. :P)

Alan: Draws a stick figure for fun

I just returned to this after having seen ep. 2 of the 3rd season. I don’t know how I SURVIVED without these kind of animations.

[EzaHazami]

Damn, this is the coolest animation that i can imagine

[ibntckg]

It’s amazing how Alan can make an entire story with ZERO dialogue.

[SLJedits]

Crazy how waiting so long actually pays off bc it’s so good

[mr.maximuss]

This is one of the most epic things ive seen

[nothingtoseehere]

Her: He's probably thinking about other women.

Him: How can they have laser eyes if they don't have eyes?

[Pixelcraftian]

More than a masterpiece, truly your best work.

[WorthySmile]

Friend:Hey why weren’t you on
Alan:A virus made me a movie

[carol]

I love how it doesn't need any dialogue or subtitle, the animation and storytelling is just so good, that any person in any country and even deaf people can fully understand and feel exactly what is being shown

[randomlee]

Teacher: today we will draw
Class: we can't draw
Teacher: it's ok if it's a stickman
Alan:

[kaspertheshepherd]

Literally no one:

Alan today: let's just make an anime.

[rodinaflasarova]

Damn, he started from macromedia flash 8 to adobe animate...what a legend.

[EditorOfUK]

I was really fascinated by watching this like I was just thinking that he is editing and creating them in the video which is already created 😂

[Titan_AU]

The storytelling even without a single word spoken is just beyond incredible. And the part where Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue were being picked off and the body language just shows how heartbroken they are, it hits so hard. Truly a masterpiece of animation.
