well, do you have any BETTER idea's for a life series? like i know how these new seasons seem alot different, but like, thatts kinda a point, they need to be unique but add a twist that isnt only fun for the viewers to watch, but actually fun for the creators too

In my opinion: 1. Secret Life 2. Wild Life 3. Limited Life 4. Double Life 5. 3rd Life 6. Last Life (I know it’s a hot take) I feel like it’s unfair to compare the seasons because they’re all so different. You could argue for any of the seasons to be the best or the worst and it’d make sense. They’re all so good in their own ways.

In my opinion, I feel like the only thing I dislike about the newer life series is keep inventory, it makes it feel a little less intense sometimes. In Limited Life it felt necessary but for Secret Life and Wild Life it felt a little silly. But I genuinely liked the new series. If I were to rank them from best to worst this would probably be the order: 1. Secret Life 2. Wild Life 3. Limited Life 4. Double Life 5. Last Life 6. 3rd Life Btw I'm not saying 3rd Life is bad or anything, I still think 3rd Life was a 10/10 series, I just prefer each one a little more. To me each season usually gets better, except for the newest one not being quite as good as Secret Life. I feel like it still fits the concept well. I had an idea for a life series that might have a sort of similar premise to Limited Life; Border Life - Everyone has a 1000x1000 World border at the start. 725-1000 is Green, 425-700 is Yellow, 25-400 is Red. If you are yellow you can kill Greens and Reds kill anyone. You get +25 blocks if you kill someone and you lose -50 Blocks if you die. There could also be a Boogeyman. If you kill as the Boogeyman you get +50 Blocks and if you die to the Boogeyman you lose -100 Blocks. The only issue with this idea is: How will Yellows get kills on Greens or Reds on Yellows, etc... when the players above them could just walk away further into the border which they don't have access to? Well I thought maybe some kind of item or session event could change this, where every 40 minutes or 30 minutes or so, everyone's border will be expanding to the maximum size (the player with the largest border's size) and they could get kills then for about 20 minutes. Or if it was an item, that specific person could expand their border for about 10 minutes or so. I think it'd be a great edition to the Life Series but the chance of Grian thinking of this is, well, almost impossible.

i dont get the hate. in my ranking its the 2nd best season because of how fun it was to watch

Just me who thinks it’s the best?! 😂 Personally I think 3rd life and last life were the worst (I still think they’re great) but I know that’s an unpopular opinion. I definitely see where you’re coming from tho - I wasn’t really a fan of secret life bc it kinda made the whole tasks thing the focus of the game but I guess wild life has a special place in my heart bc of joel winning. My rankings are wild life, limited life, double life, secret life, last life, 3rd life. I know a lot of people will hate me for this lol.

SHUUT UPPPPPPP ITSSS FUNNN THERES JOKES GIMMICKS AND MANY INSIDE JOKES 😭😭😭😭😭

honestly, I think that recent seasons have been more gimmicky, but the first three were really simple because they were basically going to be classics from the start. Then these newer seasons are very new and their gimmicks retain enough life series-iness to still be recognizable and great series.

2:11 the size one was session 1, we can't have an intense one, so just simple and basic, and for funs, while the time stop was to make it feel bit intense and hard, and easier after the session 2-3 wild cards

I definitely agree Wild Life and Secret Life fell more gimicky but as Smallishbeans being my favourite TH-camr his win skyrocjets this season for me

I completely agree with this, not because its “gimmicky” all of them but 3rd and last life are, but because the gimmicks vary episode to episode, with this and secret life. The twists would previously shape the entire series, but leave a lot of room for roleplay, survival, storytelling, etc. In the new ones, the twists shape episodes, which not only makes the povs more similar (for wild life exclusively) but also essentially slows down the series because people arent focusing as much on kills and instead on secret objectives or adapting to a twist. You can see this in both series having an episode which really just served to thin the life count (snails/boogie curse). This is seen pretty clearly in wild life especially, as there were very few player kills for each player having 6 lives. Maybe a quater of kills were from players? Like the finale really only got started when someone died to a wildcard. I didn’t feel this as much with secret life because everyones objectives were unique and there were some solid teams (also the secret life finale was peak, but honestly thats probably because they took away the objectives for it). TLDR; the newer series feel worse because they both rely on episode to episode gimmicks instead of twists that shape the whole series, which causes them to be slower and less lethal as players arent looking to kill

I agree with almost every point in this video but I do feel like the size wild card wasn’t that game changing because it was the first episode and they don’t want a murderous snail or for everyone to become the avengers on a brand new world and the time one was probably to cool off from the snail in the previous episode (although while watching the time episode I did forget this was wild life and not a hermit craft or something so that’s probably not good when every episode is supposed to be game changing) but overall I really loved this season and if we take when the seasons were released out the picture and pretend they were all released at the same time I think third life would be the weakest of the bunch because it was the most basic but because it was the first season it works incredibly well. Also this season can basically be summed up by a quote from Scott saying that “they are too used to the wild cards giving them free content” or something along the lines of that which isn’t a bad thing because you can’t expect them to make really good content over 6 seasons of the same format so they change things up every season but it did feel like the wild cards where the only thing different from hermit craft unlike with the other seasons having either the boogie man, team rivals,and story lines (like monopoly mountain and pizza, the heart foundation, things like that) among other twists but this season everyone was just teamed with everyone with no stakes of betrayal until near the end and one reason for that I think is that the first 2 seasons only like 6 months apart, 3 and 4 were only about 6 months apart again but 5 and 6 were a year apart and in that time everyone did non PvP long term servers so the essence of the high stakes was forgotten over the year brake (for example there were actual builds this time instead of bread bridges and random towers, and no rivals, allies, or factions) but that’s just my take on the season and I’d rate it an 8/10 Edit: one thing I forgot to say is that for 3rd life I didn’t feel the need to watch every POV because the story of the episode was complete with just a few different POVs (I still watched all of them but it got repetitive after seeing the same story unfold) but with last life and the boogie man there was a need to watch almost all of POVs to see the story of the episode and the boogie man (same with limited life) but then secret life and wild life I felt the need to watch every POV because each person had a completely different story wether it was what food different people ate, how their snails got them or what super powers they had every POV was different (and obviously secret life everyone had different tasks to do)

i actually believe that secret life was really really good for content/engagement because we had to go and check other people's videos to know what was truly going on. wild life... wasn't great. it was funny, but the focus was more on the wildcards than the actions of players. grian did a great job it just wasn't a great concept.

I want people to keep in mind that these newer seasons can be correlated to the reality TV show of Survivor. A GREAT majority of the community genuinely misses the simpllicity of the older seasons with a heavy focus on wanting the players to be the reason why a season is great, rather than twists or gimmicks being the reason why it's ever interesting. There's *so* much focus on the special twist of the episodes that it effectively takes away the freedom that the players are meant to have in order to make the season special. While yes, it is the same group of people everytime, I still think Grian should give the participating members a chance to develop a new story of conflict and "war". Social relationships, how the players interact with a limited resourced world, and ACTUAL tension and severity of red lifes and losing items due to no keep inventory are what made Third Life and Last Life so great and intense. Simplicity shouldn't be a deterrent, a show like Survivor has had FORTY SEVEN seasons and still going with the exact same concept, much of the beginning 20 or so being the exact same format, with little changes, but none that would compromise the format. I think there's definitely ways to switch up the core aspect of the seasons (Red, Yellow, Green Lives) without having the need to bring in a *twist* to make it unqiue.

My ranking of the life series: 1- Last Life 9.5/10 2- Limited Life 9/10 3- Third Life 8.5/10 4- Wild Life 7.5/10 5- Double Life 7/10 6- Secret Life 7/10

I definitely agree that Wild Life and Secret life are a bit more gimmicky, but i think that that is a good thing. the first 4 seasons were great, but if we kept going with simpler things it would start to feel repetitive. Grian said on the Imp and Skizz podcast that it was about experiencing a new thing each season, which is great. And also while wild life didn't have many concrete rules, no season ever has. It was apparent after just a few episodes in 3rd life that the only reds can attack rule and the losing alliances when you turn red thing didn't work, and so that was less of a thing in later seasons. Great video though!

I also wasnt biggest fan of two last seasons, these heavy gimmicks taken so much time in episodes than there wasnt much left for survival, alliance interactions and any overreaching narrative. But if i had to compare only between these two, i would say secret life was definietly better since it paid back for these shortcomings with most confusing and unique conversations and other social interactions that were forced by tasks. Every week i was forced to watch many povs to get every time drastically difrent perspective at the same dialoques. That was great. Sadly wild life didnt had anything like that. BUT, But we must agree that bar is pretty high. Even worst of life series is still really good.

its because a lot of the fandom much prefers the lore of it all and both secret and wildlife feed heavily into that! as a lore enjoyer id say secret and wildlife are some of the best and most thrilling seasons and theyre only working towards what a majority enjoys :3

0:34 I fully agree with this! I love the last 2 seasons and all, but they feel vastly different in concept and style than the original seasons, they feel a lot more gimmicky

bros not dead

You're 4 for 6! 8 episodes, six lives, Joel wins, and Jimmy is the seventh one out! The boogeyman didn't make it in, and every previous player returned this season so the full cast was there!

Literally just a copy of someone else's video. Basically just the same thing but with worse mic quality.

2:15 while last and limited life had boogeyman, secret life technically had one as well, during one of gem’s tasks. Spoiler for this part: And due to the wildcard right now, it could be possible for the boogeyman to happen again

i think its fun to believe the canary curse doesnt mean jim dies first, but dies in the first session with final deaths, which keeps the curse going

Gem Joel are possibilities but if Jimmy wins, people will lose their minds and Jimmy winning should be a possibility bcz his pvp skills are 📈📈📈

2:15 two things here, 1: I think you’re right about the system - I didn’t notice it before. And 2: I think that the boogeyman follows that system because everyone has more lives. If everyone only has three lives AND there’s a boogeyman, it’d go too fast. :)

Wheres Real Life at? The new life series should be considerd the 7th

I’m so impatient I just want to watch a life series man!

5 lives, half the people are bogey men with a specific target, the other are the hunted but they don't know who is after them, if the boogeymen get the kill nothing happens, if they fail they lose a life, at you're 3 life you can be hostile even when not a boogeyman, and at your last life you are always a boogeyman and are always hostile

i'd love to see doc join. he mentioned before that the only reason he hasn't played is that he wasn't invited. and the title of his episode that dropped today gave a nod to the series as did his intro.

“ No Life “

i think we'll have the full cast and more so im hyped

What if it’s double life again??? What if Pharrell William’s hit song “The Thrill of the Double Life” from hit movie and cult classic “Despicable Me Four” was just foreshadowing GUYS THEYRE ADDING GRU

I want Lizzie back so bad. She made last life sooo interesting

I think jimmy will defo win he’s going to be on his revenge

I hope olis in it 😭

I think that Lizzie might be in the series because in Joel’s block wars he said people that he wanted to team up with and one of the people he said was Lizzie. I hope she is in it because i have been missing her videos recently.😢

why do you say impulse is likely to win just because pearl and scott have before? the series isnt scripted... whoever wins wins.

spoiler ren lizzie and mumbo have changed there skins on NameMC, this doesnt confirm it but it adds suspicion

Lizzie isn’t someone I would say is a 100% no. She is semi retired (she only posts when she finds something good) and this can be a good opportunity for her to post again. Also, she’s quite active overall on others channels (mostly jimmys)

Hey excellent video! Ren was not in secret life due to being unable to make the first session which i think was recorded with session 2 as well, so its not super unlikely for him to join season 6

Wait! since when did your vid's start popping of?? I mean 2.7K views in 1 day!!!! That's amazing!!!!! Can't beleave you wou went from about 10 views per vid when I first started watching you to now having 1k views on most of your videos!!

You may not see this comment or think what I’m about to say is true but every time Joel has changed his skin in the life series bad things happened wether it be dying or losing something valuable in limited life he was boogey in secret life h failed the bucket clutch and in last life well we don’t talk about thwart happened in last life (He died abt 5 times)

i definitely agree with this video, however i have a few predictions of my own. i think that jimmy and scar might team up together and i think another possible winner would be bdubs. bdubs has gotten close to winning in prior seasons and i think he just has to play it well and he will score a win or at least top 5 or 6

I want Bdubs to win, it was looking so good for him all of last season untill his last episode where he fell off, but he finished like 4 weeks in a row with a green life and above 30 hearts 😭

Ren, Mumbo amd Lizzie changed their skins at session time and Lizzie was confirmed by impulse to be returning, every member from previous seasons apart from etho have also been confirmed to return apart from Fwhip, who was technically a member of double life before leaving since skizz couldnt make it, although fwhip did also change his skin at session time, along with False and Stress, making those 3 the most likely new members, along with that Lizzie only joins when she isnt active on youtube so even if she wasnt confirmed to be joining it would be very likely

5:30 Impulse confirmed, there are at least TWO new contenders, from the words "I got to meet some new drivers at traffic school" Traffic school is the code name of the life series.

Honestly, Impulse Or Joel deserve to win. I would say Gem but she’s only been in one season a special and one episode of limited life. Impulse and Joel however, we’re in all six of the life series stuff (I think I can’t remember if they were in real life) also I do think Scott has the ability to win but I don’t think it’ll happen. If he gets down to the finals the rest of the people will likely go for him 1. Because he’s a threat 2. He’s already won twice. (Last life and he was Pearls soulmate in Double life if you need a refresher) Do yeah, hoping it’s either Impulse or Joel. I do think there’s also a chance it could be Cleo but hey, you never know.

Hot take, if firebreathman would be a fun player

I’m thinking Impulse might win this season, maybe Joel, but Impulse actually wants to win pretty badly so he might try way harder this season.
