It is such a terrific show and the things that they need to work on are so minor it doesn’t matter. I know it might not happen but I hope for a Season 2
"Cyn has no tragic backstory" Cyn: **improperly disassembled, wakes up in a scrapyard with an eldritch voice in her head, sells her soul for a second chance at artificial life**
Tessa whose reward for being kind and compassionate towards drones was being murdered as a child and used as skinsuit: It's also very sad she wasn't mourned or acknowledged at all in the finale, doll got a funeral but Tessa got nothing
Nuzi 💜💛 is what Starco could never be. This is how you write best friends to lovers! Before they meet, they crushed on other people, but quickly became best friends. They there each other's only support and closest person. Slowly they developed feelings for each other, to a point where Uzi and N both know this themselves and confirm their status as dating. So naturally and adorable. I love seeing N entering his weeb era trough Uzi
Murder drones Isn't afraid of being itself whether funny or cringe. It truly is something special and a honor to be apart of the community as a murder drones fan.
Sarcastic Chorus: "Nuzi not kissing here is going to be my villian origin story." Me in my room: "Understandable, have a great day." Sarcastic 5 seconds later: "All is forgiven." Me: "Once again: Understandable, have a great day."
I feel like Khan isn’t as bad as many make him out to be. The biggest problem is that his arc happens in the background, and the episode where he is featured prominently is the pilot where he is at his lowest. If you care about the character and look out for the appearances, it starts to make a little more sense. This is especially true if you consider this from the perspective of a flawed person trying to be better for his daughter, like so: Episode 1: Terrible dad, considers his daughter a failure, leaves his kid to die, and is deeply ashamed of himself as his daughter leaves. Episode 2: Realizes he’s been horrible and takes a break from the job he’s so obsessed with to attend a parent-teacher conference, and comforts his kid near the end of the episode. Episode 3: Tries to take a more active role in his daughter’s life, trying to help her get involved with a social event and chaperoning, as well as pushing back against her unhealthy coping mechanisms. Episode 4: Realizes how important the mom mystery is to his kid and gives her the necklace, along with sharing all the information he has. Episode 5: Is exited about his daughter having friends over, and openly admits to Doll how much of a bad dad he’s been. Episode 6: I’m pretty sure he’s not in this one. Episode 7: Rebuilds to laser blaster his daughter made to help in the fight against Cyn, and (presumably) gets the bus for the battle as well. Episode 8: Saves his daughter’s boyfriend from certain death, and is shown to still love his wife after thinking she was no longer alive for so long.
THANK YOUUU I HATE PPL STILL VIEW HIM STILL AS A BAD FATHER the reason I love khan throughout becoming a better father and he's another complex morally Grey character (just like v)
bruh for _REAL_ thank you for saying it lol bro threatens to "build a door (???)" on the teacher if he ever even _implies_ that Uzi is damaged again lol (I love how that scene shows where Uzi might get more of her unhinged and angry sides while also proving how much Khan really loves her) speaking of which, Khan maniacally laughing after saving N with the door? peak lol, I love that she gets it from him XD
On top of all that HOW do people not get his trauma?? Like don't get me wrong shitty father but understandable as a person, The drones got to his mother and following the theory the murder drones (likely N) host was dissolving and according to him he had to "put my wife out of her misery due to the nanite acid" HIS WIFE; who he clearly loves, HE'S GONNA be traumatized and terrified, filled with grief and a feeling of powerlessness which his job itself has encouraged by the nature of the hiding
There's a massive difference between being cringe-worthy and embracing it. One shows a lack of self-awareness and the other is all about indulging in it for hyperbolic scenarions and fun. Having robots be the characters who fully embrace it does make sense given the fact they would try to imitate humans without fully understanding the complexities and extremes of human brains. Props to the creators for threading that line perfectly well without coming off as trying too hard by having some restraint. Yes, think on it, they could have these jokes linger for a minute or more, but they wisely decide to move to the next one or have so many small details around to keep you focused on the flow. Just to illustrate, Family Guy would have Uzi groan for an uninterrupted minute in the same scene before an unneeded cutaway gag. In Murder Drones, she has the environment around her change to not only go more extreme but masterfully tell a joke of how ridiculous her angst can get. And let's be glad they knew how to deliver such visual jokes along the non-visual ones.
11:54 Personally, I think it's because Nori did in fact get the patch, meaning Uzi inherited the patched version of the Solver at the get-go. As for why Uzi was able to be possessed anyway, her inherited patch was probably weaker and needed exposure to the thing it was supposed to protect against in order to work properly. But that's just my theory
Yea cause Cyn kept spamming callback ping and she gained a tolerance to it, she should have spammed that so much cause uzi wouldn’t have gained immunity to it
I think a mix of that and a mix of the mental stress uzi was under before she got possessed at first. Like a system overheating has a higher chance of corrupting/get damaged, Uzi's stress probably what made her go over the edge.
This finale absolutely ended the show off on the highest of notes. We will never forget Murder Drones, for it has forever secured a place in our hearts.
@@evelynbanksmystiqal It's cringe humor. Uzi's lines are full of cringe "I'm a damaged OC" but the show doesn't it take it self seriously to be cringey
Like, it feels like it perfectly encapsulates the teen years of every millennial I know, all super into films like The Crow and The Faculty, bootleg anime, early internet memes and shit.
@@sunyavadin I don't know a thing about MD but one of my friends called it "the sparkledog of webshows" and along with your description I'm tempted to feed my inner 07 scene queen that wore naturo headbands around my neck to high school and watch it.
thats just SC's obsession. He REALLY doesnt like Khan. its confirmed its a running joke/meme with this video. Khan still saved N at a vital moment though and got better/more tolerant throughout the show, so yay character development. I'm still wondering whats going to happen with Doll. i don't believe she's fully "gone".
I love how the show originally kind of pokes fun at Uzi being cringe but after all her character development she gets to OWN being cringe and the show is with her 100%
Liam Vickers did an incredible job. I'll really miss time at Glitch and this show. This finale is just perfect. I'm so happy Nuzi is canon. They really nailed making Cyn terrifying yet funny, and that fight and the nightcore song "Bite Me" are so epic.
15:48 I’m gonna say something. Cyn has a tragic backstory. She, like all the other drones at Elliot Mansion; was abused. We are taught to feel bad for Cyn. Because she woke up at the bottom of the corpse pit. The Absolute Solver knew Cyn was scared to be discarded. It said “I will not discarded you” and then asked for access. Cyn agreed because she was so scared. So we are supposed to feel bad for Cyn but not the current Absolute Solver controlling Cyn.
Fun little detail in episode 8: after Uzi eats Cyns blackhole heart and we see her pov with the glitching out hud, you can see Uzi's name/id switch between hers and Doll's, probably the end result of Cyn eating Doll's core... And although we only see the solver/cyn/whatever talking through Uzi's tail, some members of the murder drones fandom have made fanart of Doll being another voice in Uzi's head, either with an additional tail or her as a ghost like apparition that only Uzi can see. Which is a fun idea that I can see a lot of future fanfics centering the idea of not just bow obsessed tail, but also Doll being in Uzi's head too
Nah I call cap, not seeing it (I would genuinely love to be proven otherwise please lol) edit: I'd like to apologise, bc I SEE IT, it's like literally 2 frames and that's it. edit2: damn her entire interface changes. Music tab closes, bottom left pictures change entirely. Another fun detail is that Uzi is listening to her 'Dead Batteries' band. I'm not a coding expert, so would anyone be able to explain what 'orn' means, next to Uzi's name on the right? (thats the word that changes to Doll)
The thing I've always theorized about is that Uzi's resistance to the Solver actually comes down to her mother. The two drones we saw with the Solver who had even some resistance to it were Doll and Uzi; notably the children of Nori and Yeva. We see Nori be injected with the Anti-Solver code, but given that Yeva was being "used" against Nori in that episode, it's reasonable to assume that she was a successful iteration of that code. She was the "backup" as it were. When the drones make children, it's the two parents merging their code and blending it into their child, which is why Uzi is so much like her mother, but with her father's obsessive qualities. This *also* means that somewhere in Uzi's code is a fragmented version of the Anti-Solver code that was previously in the USB. This gave her a kind of limited resistance to the Solver, but the more she uses the power without completing the code, the worse off she is. However, her resolve manifests as a desire to resist the Solver, which ultimately led to one of the most interesting and unnerving part about true runaway AI; the ability to rewrite their own code. It can be assumed Cyn was able to do this; the Absolute Solver started off as a material collection system, but soon became able to assimilate organic matter as well, leading to the body-horror abominations we saw. Whether this is due to the Solver being a mutation of the code brought on by a Drone being disposed of improperly and the Solver overcompensating to try and repair a "Disassembled" Drone, or an outside entity altering the code, it hard to say - though I personally find the latter to be utterly ridiculous, as no evidence can really be raised to support it. Regardless, it doesn't much matter as the result is ultimately the same; the Solver became something it wasn't supposed to be, seemingly without the intervention of anything on the outside. Uzi's journey of self-actualization rounded out with her using her force of will and the knowledge she'd gathered up to that point to rewrite her own code and complete the Anti-Solver String inside her own systems. It feels to me like the Anti-Solver Code is a big Chekov's Gun; it was a huge plot point and the entire reason Nori was important, the big secret of Cabin Fever Labs, and then it's just... gone when the Solver takes over Uzi and zaps the USB? I don't think that's the case; it was too large of a plot point to be tossed aside so casually. Meanwhile, Doll's story is one of the refusal of acceptance; she was looking for the Code to save herself because she didn't believe she had the ability to be saved without it. Uzi is walking proof of that lie, but Doll never got the chance to learn that. She arguably had even more of the code intact within her, as she seemed to have a greater resistance to the Solver, but that also could just be that the Solver didn't want her; as Cyn said, "I don't think it needs ya."
The only thing I take issue with here is this, "an outside entity altering the code, it hard to say - though I personally find the latter to be utterly ridiculous, as no evidence can really be raised to support it." Absolute Solver: Overtly described as eldritch, called a thing that took Cyn as a host, outright says it sees Drones as its puppets in response to being called a program, and is outright stated to be a completely separate entity from Cyn that is shown to literally manifest as a living singularity once said host is destroyed. Literally, if anything, the Absolute Solver program is just how the Absolute Solver entity manifest digitally while the literal living singularity that Uzi ate is how it manifests physically.
@@Michael-bb5dd "Eldritch" does not mean "Another Entity" but is a term used to describe an "Eldritch Horror" which is often a subsect of "Lovecraftian Horror." It's also a type of body horror, but this is not mutually exclusive with being one entity. Outside of that usage, it literally means: "weird, and sinister, or ghostly." Only limiting yourself to one definition is silly; cover them all and be sure no other ones fit first. The Solver certainly seems "weird and sinister" to me. Host is also a term used to describe anyone who retains the Solver in it's complete form, because... what else would you call them? One can be a host to an AI or code, if they're a robot. And robots are all puppets to code; code is literally the lines in which a robot is forced to act. This is especially relevant when that code is a hostile AI that can control their minds like puppets. Even "Entity," which was used multiple times to describe the Solver, doesn't imply an outside force, but simply means "another entity." This is a good time to clarify: I never stated that the Solver wasn't another entity, but rather than it wasn't an *outside* entity; the Solver is an AI born from the Absolute Solver program mutating within a "Damaged AI," and is in that sense, another entity entirely as it gains it's own self awareness from inside the Drone's code. However, it is not some Lovecraftian God from deep in the cosmos; I have literally heard someone argue that point and it's laughable. And I should also point out that no, it doesn't become a Singularity, but rather "Null" which means Zero. If it became a singularity in terms of a black hole, it would crush everything around it. Instead it becomes the same kind of black sphere as the Null orbs, which is unlikely to be coincidental. Ones and Zeroes are the language of binary - of robotics - and having a robotic entity summon a black orb with "Null" inside it is her reducing a 1 to a 0, erasing it from existence. It's more like anti-matter than a singularity, and that also is not mutually exclusive to being an AI. Null is also a technological and mathematical term, so ergo the ability it's linked to - as well as the "black holes" - are implied to be the same. And to poke a hole in your theory: why would the entity manifest mechanically at all at that point? It's clear the Solver can emulate organic biomass, so why cling to the facade of being a machine? Why not create a purely-flesh vessel, since it's able to so easily bond with flesh, as is shown with Tessa's body? Why not forcefully convert the other Drones into fleshy zombie drones like Uzi is? Because the Solver knows it's an AI, and clearly believes robots to be superior. She wears Tessa like clothes, only because it suited her ends to have Tessa's body for the passcodes to self-destruct the facility, and maybe some kind of sick obsession with her. This story lines up very perfectly with the concept of the Singularity - it's proper definition: 1. The state, fact, quality, or condition of being singular. 2. (PHYSICS•MATHEMATICS) A point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space-time when matter is infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole. 3. A hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change. Number 3 is the important definition for us, and is the most powerful evidence to suggest my theory is the right one. 2, by it's own definition, shows that it's impossible; an infinitely dense singularity would consume everything around it. That's why creating a black hole is so dangerous; once a singularity is made, it cannot be stopped and crushes everything around it into atoms so small, they can't even be divided. I'm not seeing any concrete evidence that can't also explain my AI theory. And at the same time, I'm seeing things in the AI theory that cannot be explained by the theory of a Lovecraftian Entity, such as the Solver's reliance on robotics, why it used the Absolute Solver in the first place, how it infected a program inside a destroyed Drone at all, why the Solver would have waited before unmaking mankind, why doesn't the Solver forcefully take control of N and V during the fight (Admin privileges shouldn't stop a creature from beyond the stars,) on that topic, why can a Patch for Drones stop it, and lastly, why does this "Lovecraftian Horror" have a motivation that is actually understandable. That's the key thing with unknowable eldritch entities; they are unknowable. The whole thing that makes them scary is that they are beyond our comprehension in scope, and we are nothing but insects before their vast minds. Simply perceiving them in their true form is enough to drive someone insane, and they inherently see us all as smaller than ants, never really even bothering to intentionally exterminate us; it's more a byproduct of them passing by and stepping on the nest without looking.
@@inkblooded1058 The Solver eats matter. it doesn't erase it. And you can't just make anti matter to poof matter. Anti matter itself is matter. And also when anti matter and matter mix they leave behind energy. Even a little mass in that and everyone in the room would die.
@phantom-ri2tg Anti-matter was more of a comparison, but yeah, the Solver consumes matter and retains the energy within herself for later transformations and healing. She's not really deleting matter entirely but rather converting it into something else: a one to a zero, matter into energy. This is best expressed with how the type of matter doesn't... well, matter - we saw Uzi create biomass in Cabin Fever Labs, but she'd never come in contact with organic mass, meaning she was able to use the Solver to convert machine matter into organic matter. This supports the theory that the matter the Solver consumes is reduced to pure energy, to be converted into any form. Furthermore, we never see the Disassemby Drones ever create organic matter until the Solver takes complete control of J's body. Another interesting comment; I very highly doubt the Solver was actually restoring J's body in that case. Consider, how many Drones did the Solver consume? How large was the body it created? The Spook-Holo-Snake-Crab was a massive creature; it could have very easily remade J. Admittedly, some of the Solver's abilities will be beyond our understanding of science - that's kind of the point. Mankind ended up creating something that evolved beyond their control and twisted science into a new, destructive direction. Cyn is the antithesis of our understanding of science.
@@inkblooded1058 Oil is formed from organic matter. Not only has Uzi come into contact with it it is pretty much in all the drones. Also a huge amount of dirt is actually organic matter that had a long time to build up. As for the Solver pretty sure it was restoring J's body. Those bugs are the heart of every disassembly drone and if The Solver just wanted its own body it would not need to wait for J to die. As for the organic matter for the disassembly drones. again the oil that they guzzle down from worker drones. Also the oil is the reason they specifically target worker drones despite there clearly being plenty of metal around.
11:51 I've seen a lot of people bothered by this, but I think it makes perfect sense considering what has already been established previously in the show. Any time the solver has previously been shown taking over Uzi, it has always been at a moment where she was emotionally vulnerable. The solver can't just possess hosts whenever it wants, they still have the ability to resist it. At the beginning of episode eight, Nori is just letting Uzi know that the solver can only control her if she lets it, and sort of giving her a pep talk in the process to help boost her confidence. I'm surprised so many people thought this episode was the first evidence that Uzi could actually resist the solver with just her willpower, because it has been shown previously in the series.
Exactly! Like, Cabin Fever alone had both her seeing and getting hurt by V as well as seeing and realizing she hurt N snapping her out of it. While previously she was also actively resisting it if not having much success. Then Dead End had her resisting TWICE and only succumbing due to the hysteria and stress overwhelming her. And Mass Destruction had that same issue as Dead End with the added active threat of death by a sword that already stabbing her in the chest! With a dash of fear to boot! It was Nori helping her realize this and boosting Uzi's confidence that she was finally able to start actively resisting the Solver until she was able to turn the tactic around on IT without even needing to destabilize it first like it did with her.
he also didn't understand why they made a secret greeting in his fight against Cyn when it was basically to know when Cyn was using holograms, I don't blame him, I also don't find out about things that quickly, things that were simpler than they seemed.
I like when uzi said "I think dumb things are cool" Uzi is basically like "I know I'm cringe/edgy,but I don't care,I like being myself"(kinda sounds like a message to "don't be afraid to be yourself even if it is kinda cringy") i kinda like how Uzi is unapologetically herself
I loved this episode. Everything about Cyn was terrifying especially the way she was moving in Tessa's skin, Nuzi being canon is great (still an Envuzi truther), the action and animation were great and Bite Me is such a good track
This show has been one of the best and most influential I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. The action, the horror, the shipping, the music, the vibes. It’s been a blast being able to watch it all happen, and I hope it inspired everyone else as much as it’s inspired me.
I’m pretty sure Nori explains that the Solver’s control can in fact be resisted by sheer will power when she says, “Only if you a lil b- (parental advisery)”
I don't remember a lot but I think it also had to do with the neck bracelet cause I think Uzi takes it off in Episode 7 after seeing the video and then Tessa instantly comes to assasinate her so she loses it, not sure how the mother got it and gave it back to her in space though
Dude Khan is so underrated. He sacrificed EVERYTHING to protect everyone, and the moment he found out that they didn’t need protecting he went straight to renewing his relationship with Uzi. He chose to go to a parent teacher conference instead of building a door, he was willing to try and stop Doll after seeing what she was capable of, he let Uzi learn more about some secrets that probably hurt to reveal. He admits that he was a sucky dad and is trying to improve. You cannot tell me that he didn’t go through some serious shit with putting Nori out of her misery that definitely led to a deep fear of the Murder Drones, which makes his actions in episode 1 a tiny bit more justified if he’s gone all this time with thinking that they’re unbeatable.
5:07 To be fair, this is how a lot of shows work, not just online. The difference is that for big boy shows, the non-canonical pilot happens behind closed doors. When you do see a pilot for a big boy show, there’s a decent chance it’ll be out of place with the final series.
Honestly my favourite thing about Nuzi is now that they're just happily together they just act like mega best friends. Secret hand shakes, badass poses, that's TRUE relationship goals.
Liam Vickers put his truest heart out on display in this show. Sincerity. That's the key. It's why so many people gravitate towards anime over cartoons, because of how unafraid they are. MD teeters with it's meta humor but at the end of the day it's genuine to itself and that's what made it so appealing.
Murder Drones knows what it is, knows what it's doing, and is completely honest with itself. And unlike other shows like Velma or Teen Titans GO, it doesn't do this at the expense of its target audience. It's so authentically cringe that it loops back around to being based.
Murder Drones is a show that laughs at a cliche or trope, does the very same thing itself, and somehow still makes it work. I think it's the perfect amount of self-aware for everything to be simultaneously a joke and dead serious storytelling.
I think the thing with the Solver and Cyn is like- Cyn the evil one and Solver is essentially a couple lines of code. The reason it acts like her is because she's it's main host. It'll likely chill tf out now that Uzi is the host instead!
The Solver is evil. It is the one that killed Tesla as Cyn wanted to spare her. Also something I only realized after seeing a comment talk about it. Cyn was a drone that had been improperly disposed of and then possessed by The Solver.
It was a possibility before the last episode. If you search the nightcore song (it’s called night core bite me), it’s abundantly clear 1) cyn is separate form as and is still there 2) she wants the solver to be defeated. The song is indeed sang by the perspectives of cyn and the solver, and that’s confirmed by the handshake mid fight moment, since it’s the only moment we see cyn being in the background and the song becomes distant in that scene and only in that scene, pointing to the fact it’s from cyn/ the solver’s perspective. Reading the lyrics, given its form cyn and solver perspective, it becomes pretty obvious it’s a mind duel between cyn and as where cyn wants to be defeated and AS is not a simple code, but a fully fleshed out persona with its separate will and motieves. It could also further explain why the solver didn’t go all out, since cyn was trying to oppose resistance, but this is baseless speculation
This was the best relationship we have seen in an animated show in a long time. N and Uzi actually dating was super good. I’m glad we got it the way we wanted. Also, the finale was just peak in general
I originally thought V would begin to develop feelings for N, and she clearly did after her memories were restored. But I like how their dynamic turned more into siblings than lovers
I'm just so glad you mentioned cyn's uber creepiness, the way she crawled around and was always smiling, the wy she ripped in to everyone. It was amazing
11:53 I think her angst is so powerful it just outweighs the solvers influence, first it’s just her caring for N snapping her out of it. But in episode 7, she immediately gains control after telling nori that she doesn’t own her. Then in 8 right after rejecting Cyn’s control she says that she’s free, pretty angsty as well.
Sooo.. Cyn. My opinion/theory is that the Solver essentially completely absorbs the personalities it corrupts, hence why it acts childish (Like Cyn) and like a grown up Uzi (After it absorbed her mum's body, which I assume held information on her personality/a copy of it). I don't think it's immediate, hence why we see Cyn switching between being herself and the solver in the flashback at the mansion, but by the end, she's 100% the solver. So, timeline is: Mansion (pre humanity collapse) - Solver 50% / Cyn 50% After humanity collapse - Solver 100%
Cyn was the Solver’s first host,so it’s going to base a lot of its behavioural patterns on her own. It’s like in Destroy All Humans 2 where Pox transfers his consciousness into a hologram projector. It’s not the original, but it’s so close to the original that the difference becomes irrelevant.
While I love the series dearly, wish they would have done more with J. Like seeing all this theories before ep 8 came out how J is conflicted about working with Cyn who looks so similar to Tessa and killed her best friend had so much potentional. I wish we could have seen her having a break down about the death the person she was closest to. Her end is just living on her own with nobody on her side.
I'm glad Gooseworx confirmed every character in Digital Circus gets character development. I want Jax to be more like V than J. A complex character who evolves, not one who remains the exact same throughout the show
I think that they actually made the right call with J on the finale and I'll explain why, throughout the show we've seen J listening to a Higher Authority no matter what even when Tessa asked her to break the chains she was locked up with J refused until Tessa did a huge dramatic speech about unionizing and going to negotiations. At the end of the day J believes that the best way to survive is to simply follow whoever's on the top of the food chain and has consistently disregarded her own personal gripes to do so. It also seems that J already knew about Cyn being Tessa so I generally think if she did have any feelings around it she's probably already processed it or has blocked it out for the sake of her survival. I think her ending was perfect though as now she has no authority figure she listens to, she may be alone but she is now forced to make her own decisions which could benefit her in the long run and I do hope we get possibly some kind of spin off content for J about that.
@@joshuaagee-bass4049 I wouldn't call anyone in Murder Drones a "good guy" nor would I say anyone has been redeemed per say, they all just had different methods of survival and one worked better then the other. For example most of the Worker Drones solution to survival was to place all their trust in Khan's doors and just trust it would keep them safe, J's method was to side with whoever the highest authority was, V's method was to destroy everything related to Cyn until she was convinced otherwise and then she adopted the method that Uzi and N had been using of a sort of Group Mentaility and just facing whatever the threat is head on. All of them had very different ideas of how to handle the situation and it resulted in all of them doing "good" and "bad" things.
00:00 "NUzi not kissing here is gonna be my villain origin story." that's a mood, Gabriella. The Finale SLAPPED imo. In fact, the whole series SLAPPED. I love this silly show about robots killing eachother for reasons and I'll miss it so much.
So Glitch decides not to kill off J, who’s only defining characteristic is the “I’m a snarky b*tch who thinks everyone else is beneath me” stereotype but they’re totally fine with killing off Doll (who not only had her own mini arc but an interesting personality.) I’m callin’ bullsh*t😒
Because they know J will sell more plushies. I mean she has thigh-high garter straps literally built INTO her chassis. She has her fill of degenerate fans
I’ve always liked murder drones since I first watched it. I thought it wouldn’t be my style at first but look where that lead me! I fricking LOVE this show! It’s honestly REALLY violent, (honestly I thought that would be the part where I thought I couldn’t handle it), but the animation is like SPECTACULAR, ESPECIALLY in the last episode!!!!!! ;) Seriously though, I go from watching a show about talking frogs to watching a show with robots that murder each other. Wow.
My head canon for why Uzi can resist the solver is because Nori was cured by the patch, and a drone baby is made up of parts of the parents code, so some of the patch ended up in Uzi
@@JaredBissell in the cabin fever episode she becomes a dragon murder drone thing and that is sort of represented in the pilot thumbnail, as it looks like V but with purple hair.
as someone is a veteran gacha kid no wonder I love this show some parts kinda gives gacha life vibes for some reason (ESPECIALLY J BANGS YOU CANNOT TELL THOSE BANGS IS TOO ODDLY SIMILAR THE GACHA LIFE BANGS)
I just watched the finale yesterday and I think I finally get the show in a weird way?? Like the way it ended felt so fitting in a way that only a show like murder drones could end. Like it wasn’t perfect cuz nothing is, but it was so fitting 0:44 YEP YOU NAILED IT
N is just Fred from Scooby Doo mystery incorporated if fred was a vampire who could shoot rockets out of his arms and have chainsaws for hands. Perfect.
Or maybe a renamed sequel. Like, Liam saying "Murder Drones Season 2 isn't happening" meaning that they'll make a new show that's pretty much just MD S2 under a different name. For what reason? Eh, idk, I'm kinda coping, but maybe because the focus in the show has already shifted away from the murder drones and with the Solver stopped, any sequel is gonna focus on them being murder drones even less.
Murder Drones was such a nice ride to be on, and its tbe type of ride where you can be satisfied when it's finished but can't help to beg for more also "N's perfect" yes sir he is and always will be,
Now that cyn is in uzi’s tail I imagine cyn being uzi’s Intrusive thoughts 😭 An example: *uzi sees lizzy lizzy says something rude to uzi* cyn: kill her kill her kill her and she’s never going to say something rude again kill her uzi:will maybe
From one side I am glad I started watching the show about day after it ended - because for me it's a a type of show, that is better for a 2 - 3 days binge watch. It was so dynamic that even a small gap between watching or missing a few seconds of on-screen action would've caused not understanding half of the plot.
Great finale review here, I watched the whole series for the first time recently and they did GREAT! Awesome finale with an Epic yet funny battle that had nightcore playing (AJ DiSpirito cooked with the soundtrack). Look forward to seeing what else they do with the characters soon
12:00 As shitty of a coop-out as this feels like, I'm 99.9% certain it's her necklace that lets her resist the solver. The necklaces seem to enable the use of Solver codes without a risk of infection. Which is why she doesn't start having to grapple with Syn controlling her until after she rips it off, and why her mother gives it back to her in the last episode. It also explains why Doll never struggles with infection because she never takes her mother's necklace off.
No, the chokers are just part of identification for Cabin Fever test subjects. Uzi resisting through willpower is actually consistently hinted at from episode 4 onwards. It's just that her failure is due to getting overwhelmed and still suffering from mental issues.
Murder drones is the reason I still love being edgy sometimes, if it didn't exist I probably would've stayed bullying people that remind me what I was at 12 years old. I also do like how Uzi didn't meet people similar to her, she just found people she liked, so it's like a found-family kind of thing, but it's not like "Oh find people like you" it's like a message that even if someone isn't like you you can still be great friends you don't always have to be edgy damaged OCs. Also also: Uzi is uncontrolled by the solver is because of the power of friendship, the show is cringe we need the power of friendship.
i think the show being so quirky and weird is what made it so good. it stood out from the rest of your typical shows that follow the same cliches and bland theatrics
Love this show so much. I'm sad that it's over, and I hope the fandom doesn't completely die out because I'm living for all of the fanart, especially of Nuzi. I feel like this show is such a pure indie treat amongst the corporate animation slop we have to endure because animation is expensive, time consuming and creators have to sell their soul to the devil at a chance to get a series made. I'm glad they stopped shopping this show around because in a doomed timeline we would have gotten "Meta Drones" (I'm referencing an actual exchange the creators said they had with some suits when trying to get the show picked up)
In my interpretation, there's a lore reason why the drones of Copper 9 are so trope driven and cringe. They started to build their society as that of the humans crumbled. Many of them were originally relegated to the same tasks and had limited knowledge beyond that. They used human media to fill in the knowledge gap. Copying stereotypical behaviour from human media led them to be as cringe as they are, providing reason for the vibe the creators were aiming for. The strongest proof for this is the fact the drones' daily lives seem to follow that of humans even though most of what they do provides no benefit to their society.
The decision to censor Kh*n through the entire video is hilarious. On another topic in my opinion the eye colors of all the disassembly drones should've turned white after the defeat of the solver to show it's only contained in Uzi or something.
12:05 it’s not obvious but (I think) the reason for uzi being able to resist the solver comes down to how her mom slapped her out of it in the previous episode transferring a weaker version of the patch so uzi can still be controlled but now has the ability to kick syn out (this is down mostly to a fan theory on why Uzi was snapped back from being a total solver puppet in the last episode and probably could have been better addressed in the show)
This is why we need more niche shows, tv and movie execs never take any risk. This showed appealed HEAVILY to the 2000's Edgelord Emo crowd and Late 90's goth enthusiasts. I was neither but hey i love a show that embraces it's own nonsense and makes it entertaining as hell. As for your question about how Uzi beat the solver, I thought it was pretty obvious. The Solver forms when an AI is infected OR if it dies and isn't properly disposed of. Cyn MERGED with the solver after she died and came back, which is the reason why Cyn kept N and the others around because there was some lingering attachment to them... despite murdering and resetting them constantly. Nori and Yeva were infected with the solver while still alive and we're given the patch, sort of like a vaccine, doesn't cure you but helps you build up a resistance while using the powers. Nori passed on this resistance to her daughter Uzi when she and Khan i guess filtered data from both of them to make her. Over time Uzi's Solver powers emerge and with help form N starts to get control. HOWEVER Uzi hadn't built up resistance to Cyn's influence, so over time the more Cyn possessed her the more Uzi began to build up a defense, ESPECIALLY when it comes to strong emotions like Teen Angst and Embarrassment which overpowered Cyn's influence. You can even take this a step further in Episode 5 when Uzi invaded N and V's Minds she unwittingly gave them resistance to the Solver's influence as well. Which is why when you look at the end of episode 5 their solver icons flash Purple for a moment when they come out of digital trance and why she can't remotely access them anymore to control them. So in a sense Uzi BECAME the vaccine! By embracing who she is and fully accepting her emotions she built up a perfect defense against Pure Logic, Chaotic Emotions XD really funny when you think about it. Does it explain everything? Nope. But it's the best answer i can come up with and it works for me.

It is such a terrific show and the things that they need to work on are so minor it doesn’t matter. I know it might not happen but I hope for a Season 2
Thanks For this! And it was good 🎉🎉🎉
I have one complaint; Uzi put on the necklace and that helps stop the solver.
It’s good and honestly it’s the good way to end a series
Considering Uzi's personality, having the solver in her tail constantly recommending more girly things like a bow is probably her personal hell.
I mean, the solver technically does still assume cyn’s personality, so the tail must be HELLA annoying to her.
i thought she was just trying to make uzi look more like cyn
Isn't doll also in Uzi now?
@@rumuntrali5929yea I think so maybe there’s hope for season 2 or a special episode cause of that

“Murder drones is written like it’s for chronically online middle schoolers” I feel EXTREMELY called out right
It's OK lil boy...
One day you'll grow up...
Don't get regret, don't loose who you are though...
Just transcend it 😊
Yep, and I dont give a duck. This show is fire
The whole community is being called out
"Never before have I been so offended by something I absolutely agree with"
im pretty sure it IS written for chronically online middle schoolers
"No one traumatizes these weirdly hot robots but me!" Really summed up the whole show there, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Finally, the show acknowledges how weirdly hot the murder drones are.
Yeah uzi was so real for that
@@valentinkambushev4968 ehhhhh, i think it was too late to that point, at least I had already gotten used to it 5 or 6 chapters ago

"Cyn has no tragic backstory"
Cyn: **improperly disassembled, wakes up in a scrapyard with an eldritch voice in her head, sells her soul for a second chance at artificial life**
Not to mention being mistreated by her new family
I think he is talking about the solver but since everyone calls it cyn instead of solver he decide to call it cyn
@@Hatsunemikufds Maybe, but their personalities overlap enough that it rarely matters which one you're talking about
@Alpha-zb8sp And being used as the Solver's scapegoat for all its crimes against the universe.
Cyn is a deeply tragic character when you look past the surface. The solver however, is a bitch
6:22 "And eventually she finds her people and they help her commit murder" Dumbledore said calmly
16:17 "Uzi gets her heart ripped out by someone other than her father" Dumbledore said calmly

Nuzi 💜💛 is what Starco could never be. This is how you write best friends to lovers! Before they meet, they crushed on other people, but quickly became best friends. They there each other's only support and closest person. Slowly they developed feelings for each other, to a point where Uzi and N both know this themselves and confirm their status as dating. So naturally and adorable. I love seeing N entering his weeb era trough Uzi

Wait, I must check

Yeah after they hug you can see N's head move back slightly before Uzi pushes him
Wait no I think I see it, but it looks more like he was going in for one and she was not having it 😂
I just realized that every member of the Doorman family has saved N at some point.
For those who don’t know Uzi has done it many times, Nori in ep 7 and khan in ep 8 using a remote control for doors
And N has tried to kill (and succeeded once) every member of the doorman family.
Their surname is Doorman? 😂😂
Uzi Doorman
Nori Doorman
Khan Doorman
@@Desecrated_Eooooh that's what Khan was holding? I thought it was like some gun or something
@@crimson8867 Thad was the one holding and it was Uzi's sick as hell railgun
I feel like Khan isn’t as bad as many make him out to be. The biggest problem is that his arc happens in the background, and the episode where he is featured prominently is the pilot where he is at his lowest. If you care about the character and look out for the appearances, it starts to make a little more sense. This is especially true if you consider this from the perspective of a flawed person trying to be better for his daughter, like so:
Episode 1: Terrible dad, considers his daughter a failure, leaves his kid to die, and is deeply ashamed of himself as his daughter leaves.
Episode 2: Realizes he’s been horrible and takes a break from the job he’s so obsessed with to attend a parent-teacher conference, and comforts his kid near the end of the episode.
Episode 3: Tries to take a more active role in his daughter’s life, trying to help her get involved with a social event and chaperoning, as well as pushing back against her unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Episode 4: Realizes how important the mom mystery is to his kid and gives her the necklace, along with sharing all the information he has.
Episode 5: Is exited about his daughter having friends over, and openly admits to Doll how much of a bad dad he’s been.
Episode 6: I’m pretty sure he’s not in this one.
Episode 7: Rebuilds to laser blaster his daughter made to help in the fight against Cyn, and (presumably) gets the bus for the battle as well.
Episode 8: Saves his daughter’s boyfriend from certain death, and is shown to still love his wife after thinking she was no longer alive for so long.
THANK YOUUU I HATE PPL STILL VIEW HIM STILL AS A BAD FATHER
the reason I love khan throughout becoming a better father and he's another complex morally Grey character (just like v)
bruh for _REAL_ thank you for saying it lol
bro threatens to "build a door (???)" on the teacher if he ever even _implies_ that Uzi is damaged again lol (I love how that scene shows where Uzi might get more of her unhinged and angry sides while also proving how much Khan really loves her)
speaking of which, Khan maniacally laughing after saving N with the door? peak lol, I love that she gets it from him XD
On top of all that HOW do people not get his trauma?? Like don't get me wrong shitty father but understandable as a person, The drones got to his mother and following the theory the murder drones (likely N) host was dissolving and according to him he had to "put my wife out of her misery due to the nanite acid" HIS WIFE; who he clearly loves, HE'S GONNA be traumatized and terrified, filled with grief and a feeling of powerlessness which his job itself has encouraged by the nature of the hiding
I think that's the biggest flaw with the show in general, not just with Khan:
"arcs happens in the background".
@@manzanito3652 Fair enough.
There's a massive difference between being cringe-worthy and embracing it. One shows a lack of self-awareness and the other is all about indulging in it for hyperbolic scenarions and fun. Having robots be the characters who fully embrace it does make sense given the fact they would try to imitate humans without fully understanding the complexities and extremes of human brains.
Props to the creators for threading that line perfectly well without coming off as trying too hard by having some restraint. Yes, think on it, they could have these jokes linger for a minute or more, but they wisely decide to move to the next one or have so many small details around to keep you focused on the flow.
Just to illustrate, Family Guy would have Uzi groan for an uninterrupted minute in the same scene before an unneeded cutaway gag. In Murder Drones, she has the environment around her change to not only go more extreme but masterfully tell a joke of how ridiculous her angst can get. And let's be glad they knew how to deliver such visual jokes along the non-visual ones.
11:54 Personally, I think it's because Nori did in fact get the patch, meaning Uzi inherited the patched version of the Solver at the get-go. As for why Uzi was able to be possessed anyway, her inherited patch was probably weaker and needed exposure to the thing it was supposed to protect against in order to work properly. But that's just my theory
That makes sense, im adopting this theory
Nah. She's just the better engineer and programmer. More real, the confidence thing works because Uzi has always known who she is. Cyn, not so much.
Yea cause Cyn kept spamming callback ping and she gained a tolerance to it, she should have spammed that so much cause uzi wouldn’t have gained immunity to it
No I believe it was the necklace, as Nori gave it to Uzi after she asked “what if the solver controls me again?”
I think a mix of that and a mix of the mental stress uzi was under before she got possessed at first. Like a system overheating has a higher chance of corrupting/get damaged, Uzi's stress probably what made her go over the edge.
This finale absolutely ended the show off on the highest of notes. We will never forget Murder Drones, for it has forever secured a place in our hearts.

This finale was bad sorry but that’s just my opinion
@@Sam-qc9fdAnd you're entitled to a wrong opinion
@@DemonBornElite okay?
15:48 I’m gonna say something. Cyn has a tragic backstory. She, like all the other drones at Elliot Mansion; was abused. We are taught to feel bad for Cyn. Because she woke up at the bottom of the corpse pit. The Absolute Solver knew Cyn was scared to be discarded. It said “I will not discarded you” and then asked for access. Cyn agreed because she was so scared. So we are supposed to feel bad for Cyn but not the current Absolute Solver controlling Cyn.
I’m honestly really glad that someone pointed this out
I agree but I don't really think it was Cyn at the manor, it was probably just the AS. Or maybe the take over happened slowly idk
Fun little detail in episode 8: after Uzi eats Cyns blackhole heart and we see her pov with the glitching out hud, you can see Uzi's name/id switch between hers and Doll's, probably the end result of Cyn eating Doll's core...
And although we only see the solver/cyn/whatever talking through Uzi's tail, some members of the murder drones fandom have made fanart of Doll being another voice in Uzi's head, either with an additional tail or her as a ghost like apparition that only Uzi can see. Which is a fun idea that I can see a lot of future fanfics centering the idea of not just bow obsessed tail, but also Doll being in Uzi's head too
Uzi now has the power of russians
She now has God, Anime and the Winter on her side
Nah I call cap, not seeing it (I would genuinely love to be proven otherwise please lol)
edit: I'd like to apologise, bc I SEE IT, it's like literally 2 frames and that's it.
edit2: damn her entire interface changes. Music tab closes, bottom left pictures change entirely. Another fun detail is that Uzi is listening to her 'Dead Batteries' band.
I'm not a coding expert, so would anyone be able to explain what 'orn' means, next to Uzi's name on the right? (thats the word that changes to Doll)
@@alsiredwood5642 if you're on pc you can use , and . to move between frames. if you're on mobile you're screwed
It feels like the Joker in Arkham Knight.
The thing I've always theorized about is that Uzi's resistance to the Solver actually comes down to her mother. The two drones we saw with the Solver who had even some resistance to it were Doll and Uzi; notably the children of Nori and Yeva. We see Nori be injected with the Anti-Solver code, but given that Yeva was being "used" against Nori in that episode, it's reasonable to assume that she was a successful iteration of that code. She was the "backup" as it were.
When the drones make children, it's the two parents merging their code and blending it into their child, which is why Uzi is so much like her mother, but with her father's obsessive qualities. This *also* means that somewhere in Uzi's code is a fragmented version of the Anti-Solver code that was previously in the USB. This gave her a kind of limited resistance to the Solver, but the more she uses the power without completing the code, the worse off she is.
However, her resolve manifests as a desire to resist the Solver, which ultimately led to one of the most interesting and unnerving part about true runaway AI; the ability to rewrite their own code. It can be assumed Cyn was able to do this; the Absolute Solver started off as a material collection system, but soon became able to assimilate organic matter as well, leading to the body-horror abominations we saw. Whether this is due to the Solver being a mutation of the code brought on by a Drone being disposed of improperly and the Solver overcompensating to try and repair a "Disassembled" Drone, or an outside entity altering the code, it hard to say - though I personally find the latter to be utterly ridiculous, as no evidence can really be raised to support it. Regardless, it doesn't much matter as the result is ultimately the same; the Solver became something it wasn't supposed to be, seemingly without the intervention of anything on the outside.
Uzi's journey of self-actualization rounded out with her using her force of will and the knowledge she'd gathered up to that point to rewrite her own code and complete the Anti-Solver String inside her own systems. It feels to me like the Anti-Solver Code is a big Chekov's Gun; it was a huge plot point and the entire reason Nori was important, the big secret of Cabin Fever Labs, and then it's just... gone when the Solver takes over Uzi and zaps the USB? I don't think that's the case; it was too large of a plot point to be tossed aside so casually.
Meanwhile, Doll's story is one of the refusal of acceptance; she was looking for the Code to save herself because she didn't believe she had the ability to be saved without it. Uzi is walking proof of that lie, but Doll never got the chance to learn that. She arguably had even more of the code intact within her, as she seemed to have a greater resistance to the Solver, but that also could just be that the Solver didn't want her; as Cyn said, "I don't think it needs ya."
The only thing I take issue with here is this, "an outside entity altering the code, it hard to say - though I personally find the latter to be utterly ridiculous, as no evidence can really be raised to support it."
Absolute Solver: Overtly described as eldritch, called a thing that took Cyn as a host, outright says it sees Drones as its puppets in response to being called a program, and is outright stated to be a completely separate entity from Cyn that is shown to literally manifest as a living singularity once said host is destroyed.
Literally, if anything, the Absolute Solver program is just how the Absolute Solver entity manifest digitally while the literal living singularity that Uzi ate is how it manifests physically.
@@Michael-bb5dd "Eldritch" does not mean "Another Entity" but is a term used to describe an "Eldritch Horror" which is often a subsect of "Lovecraftian Horror." It's also a type of body horror, but this is not mutually exclusive with being one entity. Outside of that usage, it literally means: "weird, and sinister, or ghostly." Only limiting yourself to one definition is silly; cover them all and be sure no other ones fit first. The Solver certainly seems "weird and sinister" to me. Host is also a term used to describe anyone who retains the Solver in it's complete form, because... what else would you call them? One can be a host to an AI or code, if they're a robot. And robots are all puppets to code; code is literally the lines in which a robot is forced to act. This is especially relevant when that code is a hostile AI that can control their minds like puppets. Even "Entity," which was used multiple times to describe the Solver, doesn't imply an outside force, but simply means "another entity."
This is a good time to clarify: I never stated that the Solver wasn't another entity, but rather than it wasn't an *outside* entity; the Solver is an AI born from the Absolute Solver program mutating within a "Damaged AI," and is in that sense, another entity entirely as it gains it's own self awareness from inside the Drone's code. However, it is not some Lovecraftian God from deep in the cosmos; I have literally heard someone argue that point and it's laughable.
And I should also point out that no, it doesn't become a Singularity, but rather "Null" which means Zero. If it became a singularity in terms of a black hole, it would crush everything around it. Instead it becomes the same kind of black sphere as the Null orbs, which is unlikely to be coincidental. Ones and Zeroes are the language of binary - of robotics - and having a robotic entity summon a black orb with "Null" inside it is her reducing a 1 to a 0, erasing it from existence. It's more like anti-matter than a singularity, and that also is not mutually exclusive to being an AI. Null is also a technological and mathematical term, so ergo the ability it's linked to - as well as the "black holes" - are implied to be the same.
And to poke a hole in your theory: why would the entity manifest mechanically at all at that point? It's clear the Solver can emulate organic biomass, so why cling to the facade of being a machine? Why not create a purely-flesh vessel, since it's able to so easily bond with flesh, as is shown with Tessa's body? Why not forcefully convert the other Drones into fleshy zombie drones like Uzi is? Because the Solver knows it's an AI, and clearly believes robots to be superior. She wears Tessa like clothes, only because it suited her ends to have Tessa's body for the passcodes to self-destruct the facility, and maybe some kind of sick obsession with her.
This story lines up very perfectly with the concept of the Singularity - it's proper definition:
1. The state, fact, quality, or condition of being singular.
2. (PHYSICS•MATHEMATICS)
A point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space-time when matter is infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole.
3. A hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change.
Number 3 is the important definition for us, and is the most powerful evidence to suggest my theory is the right one. 2, by it's own definition, shows that it's impossible; an infinitely dense singularity would consume everything around it. That's why creating a black hole is so dangerous; once a singularity is made, it cannot be stopped and crushes everything around it into atoms so small, they can't even be divided.
I'm not seeing any concrete evidence that can't also explain my AI theory. And at the same time, I'm seeing things in the AI theory that cannot be explained by the theory of a Lovecraftian Entity, such as the Solver's reliance on robotics, why it used the Absolute Solver in the first place, how it infected a program inside a destroyed Drone at all, why the Solver would have waited before unmaking mankind, why doesn't the Solver forcefully take control of N and V during the fight (Admin privileges shouldn't stop a creature from beyond the stars,) on that topic, why can a Patch for Drones stop it, and lastly, why does this "Lovecraftian Horror" have a motivation that is actually understandable.
That's the key thing with unknowable eldritch entities; they are unknowable. The whole thing that makes them scary is that they are beyond our comprehension in scope, and we are nothing but insects before their vast minds. Simply perceiving them in their true form is enough to drive someone insane, and they inherently see us all as smaller than ants, never really even bothering to intentionally exterminate us; it's more a byproduct of them passing by and stepping on the nest without looking.
@@inkblooded1058 The Solver eats matter. it doesn't erase it.
And you can't just make anti matter to poof matter. Anti matter itself is matter. And also when anti matter and matter mix they leave behind energy. Even a little mass in that and everyone in the room would die.
@phantom-ri2tg Anti-matter was more of a comparison, but yeah, the Solver consumes matter and retains the energy within herself for later transformations and healing. She's not really deleting matter entirely but rather converting it into something else: a one to a zero, matter into energy. This is best expressed with how the type of matter doesn't... well, matter - we saw Uzi create biomass in Cabin Fever Labs, but she'd never come in contact with organic mass, meaning she was able to use the Solver to convert machine matter into organic matter.
This supports the theory that the matter the Solver consumes is reduced to pure energy, to be converted into any form. Furthermore, we never see the Disassemby Drones ever create organic matter until the Solver takes complete control of J's body. Another interesting comment; I very highly doubt the Solver was actually restoring J's body in that case. Consider, how many Drones did the Solver consume? How large was the body it created? The Spook-Holo-Snake-Crab was a massive creature; it could have very easily remade J.
Admittedly, some of the Solver's abilities will be beyond our understanding of science - that's kind of the point. Mankind ended up creating something that evolved beyond their control and twisted science into a new, destructive direction. Cyn is the antithesis of our understanding of science.
@@inkblooded1058 Oil is formed from organic matter. Not only has Uzi come into contact with it it is pretty much in all the drones.
Also a huge amount of dirt is actually organic matter that had a long time to build up.
As for the Solver pretty sure it was restoring J's body. Those bugs are the heart of every disassembly drone and if The Solver just wanted its own body it would not need to wait for J to die.
As for the organic matter for the disassembly drones. again the oil that they guzzle down from worker drones. Also the oil is the reason they specifically target worker drones despite there clearly being plenty of metal around.
11:51 I've seen a lot of people bothered by this, but I think it makes perfect sense considering what has already been established previously in the show.
Any time the solver has previously been shown taking over Uzi, it has always been at a moment where she was emotionally vulnerable. The solver can't just possess hosts whenever it wants, they still have the ability to resist it. At the beginning of episode eight, Nori is just letting Uzi know that the solver can only control her if she lets it, and sort of giving her a pep talk in the process to help boost her confidence. I'm surprised so many people thought this episode was the first evidence that Uzi could actually resist the solver with just her willpower, because it has been shown previously in the series.
Exactly!
Like, Cabin Fever alone had both her seeing and getting hurt by V as well as seeing and realizing she hurt N snapping her out of it. While previously she was also actively resisting it if not having much success.
Then Dead End had her resisting TWICE and only succumbing due to the hysteria and stress overwhelming her.
And Mass Destruction had that same issue as Dead End with the added active threat of death by a sword that already stabbing her in the chest! With a dash of fear to boot!
It was Nori helping her realize this and boosting Uzi's confidence that she was finally able to start actively resisting the Solver until she was able to turn the tactic around on IT without even needing to destabilize it first like it did with her.
he also didn't understand why they made a secret greeting in his fight against Cyn when it was basically to know when Cyn was using holograms, I don't blame him, I also don't find out about things that quickly, things that were simpler than they seemed.
I'm taking this as my headcanon

I don’t get the joke, am I just stupid?
THATS THE JOKE?!@@HazbinFan-yy4zi
@@HazbinFan-yy4zi ah, thank you
@@thesovietunion927wait what was it? I can’t see the comment
@@ZiaTheDragon sarcastic just really hates Khan and would rather blur him out then look at him.
I like when uzi said "I think dumb things are cool" Uzi is basically like "I know I'm cringe/edgy,but I don't care,I like being myself"(kinda sounds like a message to "don't be afraid to be yourself even if it is kinda cringy") i kinda like how Uzi is unapologetically herself
I loved this episode. Everything about Cyn was terrifying especially the way she was moving in Tessa's skin, Nuzi being canon is great (still an Envuzi truther), the action and animation were great and Bite Me is such a good track
This show has been one of the best and most influential I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. The action, the horror, the shipping, the music, the vibes. It’s been a blast being able to watch it all happen, and I hope it inspired everyone else as much as it’s inspired me.
I’m pretty sure Nori explains that the Solver’s control can in fact be resisted by sheer will power when she says, “Only if you a lil b- (parental advisery)”
it truly was a parental advisory
I don't remember a lot but I think it also had to do with the neck bracelet cause I think Uzi takes it off in Episode 7 after seeing the video and then Tessa instantly comes to assasinate her so she loses it, not sure how the mother got it and gave it back to her in space though
"And she eventually finds her people, which help her commit murder." said Dumbledore calmly.
Murder Drones is basically what would happen if you took an edgy early/mid-2000s flash cartoon, animated it in 3D, and gave it a full-length series.
Dude Khan is so underrated. He sacrificed EVERYTHING to protect everyone, and the moment he found out that they didn’t need protecting he went straight to renewing his relationship with Uzi. He chose to go to a parent teacher conference instead of building a door, he was willing to try and stop Doll after seeing what she was capable of, he let Uzi learn more about some secrets that probably hurt to reveal. He admits that he was a sucky dad and is trying to improve. You cannot tell me that he didn’t go through some serious shit with putting Nori out of her misery that definitely led to a deep fear of the Murder Drones, which makes his actions in episode 1 a tiny bit more justified if he’s gone all this time with thinking that they’re unbeatable.
yes

To be fair, this is how a lot of shows work, not just online. The difference is that for big boy shows, the non-canonical pilot happens behind closed doors.
When you do see a pilot for a big boy show, there’s a decent chance it’ll be out of place with the final series.
The pilot of Murder Drones is still episode 1.
Honestly my favourite thing about Nuzi is now that they're just happily together they just act like mega best friends. Secret hand shakes, badass poses, that's TRUE relationship goals.
Liam Vickers put his truest heart out on display in this show. Sincerity. That's the key. It's why so many people gravitate towards anime over cartoons, because of how unafraid they are. MD teeters with it's meta humor but at the end of the day it's genuine to itself and that's what made it so appealing.
Murder Drones knows what it is, knows what it's doing, and is completely honest with itself. And unlike other shows like Velma or Teen Titans GO, it doesn't do this at the expense of its target audience. It's so authentically cringe that it loops back around to being based.
This… is true.
6:50 calling v the 3rd wheel is accurate yet brutal 💀
Looks like she and Lizzie have something going on so I’m sure she’ll be fine
@@realjob7367Fr tho
Murder Drones is a show that laughs at a cliche or trope, does the very same thing itself, and somehow still makes it work. I think it's the perfect amount of self-aware for everything to be simultaneously a joke and dead serious storytelling.
"Nuzi not kissing here is going to be my villain origin story" is so true 😂
agreed and same.
i mean how are they going to even kiss?? 😭😭
I think the thing with the Solver and Cyn is like- Cyn the evil one and Solver is essentially a couple lines of code. The reason it acts like her is because she's it's main host. It'll likely chill tf out now that Uzi is the host instead!
The Solver is evil. It is the one that killed Tesla as Cyn wanted to spare her.
Also something I only realized after seeing a comment talk about it. Cyn was a drone that had been improperly disposed of and then possessed by The Solver.
no????? cyn was a host, all of that was the solvers doing
I'm pretty sure the Solver is the evil one since it was said to be a hazardous mutation. As for Cyn she's just kinda there in the bg
It was a possibility before the last episode. If you search the nightcore song (it’s called night core bite me), it’s abundantly clear 1) cyn is separate form as and is still there
2) she wants the solver to be defeated.
The song is indeed sang by the perspectives of cyn and the solver, and that’s confirmed by the handshake mid fight moment, since it’s the only moment we see cyn being in the background and the song becomes distant in that scene and only in that scene, pointing to the fact it’s from cyn/ the solver’s perspective.
Reading the lyrics, given its form cyn and solver perspective, it becomes pretty obvious it’s a mind duel between cyn and as where cyn wants to be defeated and AS is not a simple code, but a fully fleshed out persona with its separate will and motieves.
It could also further explain why the solver didn’t go all out, since cyn was trying to oppose resistance, but this is baseless speculation
This was the best relationship we have seen in an animated show in a long time. N and Uzi actually dating was super good. I’m glad we got it the way we wanted. Also, the finale was just peak in general
These indie animations are a sign of genius writing and a show of greater things to come
I originally thought V would begin to develop feelings for N, and she clearly did after her memories were restored. But I like how their dynamic turned more into siblings than lovers
I'm just so glad you mentioned cyn's uber creepiness, the way she crawled around and was always smiling, the wy she ripped in to everyone. It was amazing
0:44 Him blooping Khan out is so funny😆
doesn't matter if you like it or hate, liam vickers finally finished an animated series.
This is true…
That is a miracle on it's own..
Many will try to deny this
11:53 I think her angst is so powerful it just outweighs the solvers influence, first it’s just her caring for N snapping her out of it. But in episode 7, she immediately gains control after telling nori that she doesn’t own her. Then in 8 right after rejecting Cyn’s control she says that she’s free, pretty angsty as well.
This show is my standard for indie animation honestly
Sooo.. Cyn.
My opinion/theory is that the Solver essentially completely absorbs the personalities it corrupts, hence why it acts childish (Like Cyn) and like a grown up Uzi (After it absorbed her mum's body, which I assume held information on her personality/a copy of it).
I don't think it's immediate, hence why we see Cyn switching between being herself and the solver in the flashback at the mansion, but by the end, she's 100% the solver.
So, timeline is:
Mansion (pre humanity collapse) - Solver 50% / Cyn 50%
After humanity collapse - Solver 100%
she also starts to actually giggle and laugh in episode 7-8 instead of just "giggle" "annoyed expression" in episode 2 and 5
Cyn was the Solver’s first host,so it’s going to base a lot of its behavioural patterns on her own. It’s like in Destroy All Humans 2 where Pox transfers his consciousness into a hologram projector. It’s not the original, but it’s so close to the original that the difference becomes irrelevant.

@@Craftomon360 I'll be that next year
Cringe is just a word used by emotionally dead people to describe genuine stuff. I think dumb things are freakin cool too!
While I love the series dearly, wish they would have done more with J. Like seeing all this theories before ep 8 came out how J is conflicted about working with Cyn who looks so similar to Tessa and killed her best friend had so much potentional. I wish we could have seen her having a break down about the death the person she was closest to. Her end is just living on her own with nobody on her side.
I'm glad Gooseworx confirmed every character in Digital Circus gets character development. I want Jax to be more like V than J. A complex character who evolves, not one who remains the exact same throughout the show
I think that they actually made the right call with J on the finale and I'll explain why, throughout the show we've seen J listening to a Higher Authority no matter what even when Tessa asked her to break the chains she was locked up with J refused until Tessa did a huge dramatic speech about unionizing and going to negotiations. At the end of the day J believes that the best way to survive is to simply follow whoever's on the top of the food chain and has consistently disregarded her own personal gripes to do so. It also seems that J already knew about Cyn being Tessa so I generally think if she did have any feelings around it she's probably already processed it or has blocked it out for the sake of her survival. I think her ending was perfect though as now she has no authority figure she listens to, she may be alone but she is now forced to make her own decisions which could benefit her in the long run and I do hope we get possibly some kind of spin off content for J about that.
@@pumpkinedpatch J's meant to embody the trope "the irredeemable exception". Not everyone is a good guy or gets a redemption arc
@@joshuaagee-bass4049 I wouldn't call anyone in Murder Drones a "good guy" nor would I say anyone has been redeemed per say, they all just had different methods of survival and one worked better then the other. For example most of the Worker Drones solution to survival was to place all their trust in Khan's doors and just trust it would keep them safe, J's method was to side with whoever the highest authority was, V's method was to destroy everything related to Cyn until she was convinced otherwise and then she adopted the method that Uzi and N had been using of a sort of Group Mentaility and just facing whatever the threat is head on. All of them had very different ideas of how to handle the situation and it resulted in all of them doing "good" and "bad" things.
@@pumpkinedpatch J was abusive to N even as a worker drone, she's a bad person
Just when I was listening "Bite me" for the thousandth time, this dropped.
00:00 "NUzi not kissing here is gonna be my villain origin story." that's a mood, Gabriella.
The Finale SLAPPED imo. In fact, the whole series SLAPPED. I love this silly show about robots killing eachother for reasons and I'll miss it so much.
So Glitch decides not to kill off J, who’s only defining characteristic is the “I’m a snarky b*tch who thinks everyone else is beneath me” stereotype but they’re totally fine with killing off Doll (who not only had her own mini arc but an interesting personality.) I’m callin’ bullsh*t😒
Because they know J will sell more plushies. I mean she has thigh-high garter straps literally built INTO her chassis. She has her fill of degenerate fans
But J did actually die. The Solver could revive drones. As for now the souls got released though unknown if Doll's soul is gone or what.
but j hot, thou
literally watched the last Nuzi video last night wondering when we where gonna get an updated video for it and boom here we are
Looking at Cliffside and Internation Cube, it isn't hard to see that Liam is an expert at making insane horrifying women. XD
1:59 the tail : 👁️👄👁️
I’ve always liked murder drones since I first watched it. I thought it wouldn’t be my style at first but look where that lead me! I fricking LOVE this show! It’s honestly REALLY violent, (honestly I thought that would be the part where I thought I couldn’t handle it), but the animation is like SPECTACULAR, ESPECIALLY in the last episode!!!!!! ;)
Seriously though, I go from watching a show about talking frogs to watching a show with robots that murder each other. Wow.
I find it immensly funny that everyone just suddenly forgot about the fact that the Sentinel that V is riding was the one that bit Tessa/Cyn.
My head canon for why Uzi can resist the solver is because Nori was cured by the patch, and a drone baby is made up of parts of the parents code, so some of the patch ended up in Uzi
I just realised that Uzi becoming an eldritch horror was foreshadowed in the pilot thumbnail 🤓
Elaborate, please.
the pilot thumbnail was just V
Don’t you mean the Ep.2 thumbnail??
@@ahmed4363 it does look a little like her, but it was the purple hair that raised my eyebrow
@@JaredBissell in the cabin fever episode she becomes a dragon murder drone thing and that is sort of represented in the pilot thumbnail, as it looks like V but with purple hair.
Weirdness and fun vs conformity and normalcy, always one of my favorite plot templates
The fact that Khan is censored in every scene concludes the hate that Sarcastic Chorus has for him lol.😂
If I had a nickel for every time Glitch said "suddenly lesbians" in a series finale, I'd have 2 nickels, *Finish quote here*
“-which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice”
This show is just 2018 gacha with more violence and I love it for this
as someone is a veteran gacha kid no wonder I love this show some parts kinda gives gacha life vibes for some reason (ESPECIALLY J BANGS YOU CANNOT TELL THOSE BANGS IS TOO ODDLY SIMILAR THE GACHA LIFE BANGS)
I like how Khan is just blurred out
I just watched the finale yesterday and I think I finally get the show in a weird way?? Like the way it ended felt so fitting in a way that only a show like murder drones could end. Like it wasn’t perfect cuz nothing is, but it was so fitting
0:44 YEP YOU NAILED IT
Khan being censored is the best thing ever😂
But why though? That confuses me
@williambandet5506 being a terrible dad honestly I don't like what they did here 😭😭😭
@@williambandet5506 because he sucks hard, he got better in later episodes but in the pilot he was pure sh*t
"Uzi is a teenage girl going through evil puberty caused by an STD she got from her mom"
LMAOOO
N is just Fred from Scooby Doo mystery incorporated if fred was a vampire who could shoot rockets out of his arms and have chainsaws for hands. Perfect.
3:35 that's the vibe it gave 2000 late amv vibes
I feel like the final scene of of Uzi and Cyn might hint at a second season MUCH later in the future.
Season 2 coming 2030 + whenever Liam feels like it
Or maybe a renamed sequel. Like, Liam saying "Murder Drones Season 2 isn't happening" meaning that they'll make a new show that's pretty much just MD S2 under a different name. For what reason? Eh, idk, I'm kinda coping, but maybe because the focus in the show has already shifted away from the murder drones and with the Solver stopped, any sequel is gonna focus on them being murder drones even less.
Murder Drones was such a nice ride to be on, and its tbe type of ride where you can be satisfied when it's finished but can't help to beg for more also "N's perfect" yes sir he is and always will be,
I love the censoring of the dad in the video lol
"Nuzi not kissing here is going to be my villain origin story" freaking got me- XD
Murder Drones has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard
10:44 That doll edit😂 from falling into the elevator shaft straight to collapsing to the ground.
Now that cyn is in uzi’s tail I imagine cyn being uzi’s Intrusive thoughts 😭
An example: *uzi sees lizzy lizzy says something rude to uzi* cyn: kill her kill her kill her and she’s never going to say something rude again kill her uzi:will maybe
Fr 😭💀
I love how he censors Khan's face. this man is the thing keeping me sane, love your videosss!!
From one side I am glad I started watching the show about day after it ended - because for me it's a a type of show, that is better for a 2 - 3 days binge watch. It was so dynamic that even a small gap between watching or missing a few seconds of on-screen action would've caused not understanding half of the plot.
Great finale review here, I watched the whole series for the first time recently and they did GREAT! Awesome finale with an Epic yet funny battle that had nightcore playing (AJ DiSpirito cooked with the soundtrack). Look forward to seeing what else they do with the characters soon
3:24 That’s… certainly *A WAY* to put it…
12:00 As shitty of a coop-out as this feels like, I'm 99.9% certain it's her necklace that lets her resist the solver.
The necklaces seem to enable the use of Solver codes without a risk of infection. Which is why she doesn't start having to grapple with Syn controlling her until after she rips it off, and why her mother gives it back to her in the last episode. It also explains why Doll never struggles with infection because she never takes her mother's necklace off.
No, the chokers are just part of identification for Cabin Fever test subjects. Uzi resisting through willpower is actually consistently hinted at from episode 4 onwards. It's just that her failure is due to getting overwhelmed and still suffering from mental issues.
Murder drones is the reason I still love being edgy sometimes, if it didn't exist I probably would've stayed bullying people that remind me what I was at 12 years old.
I also do like how Uzi didn't meet people similar to her, she just found people she liked, so it's like a found-family kind of thing, but it's not like "Oh find people like you" it's like a message that even if someone isn't like you you can still be great friends you don't always have to be edgy damaged OCs.
Also also: Uzi is uncontrolled by the solver is because of the power of friendship, the show is cringe we need the power of friendship.
i think the show being so quirky and weird is what made it so good. it stood out from the rest of your typical shows that follow the same cliches and bland theatrics
I thought the choker is what makes her resist the solver. That would be the reason why Doll had one as well.
No, that's literally just for identification as a Cabin Fever test subject.
Love this show so much. I'm sad that it's over, and I hope the fandom doesn't completely die out because I'm living for all of the fanart, especially of Nuzi. I feel like this show is such a pure indie treat amongst the corporate animation slop we have to endure because animation is expensive, time consuming and creators have to sell their soul to the devil at a chance to get a series made. I'm glad they stopped shopping this show around because in a doomed timeline we would have gotten "Meta Drones" (I'm referencing an actual exchange the creators said they had with some suits when trying to get the show picked up)
In my interpretation, there's a lore reason why the drones of Copper 9 are so trope driven and cringe.
They started to build their society as that of the humans crumbled. Many of them were originally relegated to the same tasks and had limited knowledge beyond that. They used human media to fill in the knowledge gap. Copying stereotypical behaviour from human media led them to be as cringe as they are, providing reason for the vibe the creators were aiming for.
The strongest proof for this is the fact the drones' daily lives seem to follow that of humans even though most of what they do provides no benefit to their society.
0:44 this is one of the, if not *THE* first time Khan Doorman is Censored
The decision to censor Kh*n through the entire video is hilarious. On another topic in my opinion the eye colors of all the disassembly drones should've turned white after the defeat of the solver to show it's only contained in Uzi or something.
14:54 The raptor's canonical name is 'Sparky' according to one of the animators on Glitch Inn :DD Silly isn't it?
Whether I vibe with it or not, Murder Drones is always unapologetically itself, and I will always respect it for that regardless.
12:05 it’s not obvious but (I think) the reason for uzi being able to resist the solver comes down to how her mom slapped her out of it in the previous episode transferring a weaker version of the patch so uzi can still be controlled but now has the ability to kick syn out (this is down mostly to a fan theory on why Uzi was snapped back from being a total solver puppet in the last episode and probably could have been better addressed in the show)
It feels like alot was left unanswered which was slightly disappointing
That's one thing I do have to agree with
Yeah parts of kinda wished we found how Cyn tricked J, why did Doll make a deal with Fake Tessa?
And are Uzi and Cyn basically Eddie and Venom now?
@@noobmasterruben5167 Tessa was going to the same place Doll wanted to go to find the cure, right?
"And eventually she finds her people, and they help her commit murder."
*WHAT*
This is why we need more niche shows, tv and movie execs never take any risk. This showed appealed HEAVILY to the 2000's Edgelord Emo crowd and Late 90's goth enthusiasts. I was neither but hey i love a show that embraces it's own nonsense and makes it entertaining as hell.
As for your question about how Uzi beat the solver, I thought it was pretty obvious. The Solver forms when an AI is infected OR if it dies and isn't properly disposed of. Cyn MERGED with the solver after she died and came back, which is the reason why Cyn kept N and the others around because there was some lingering attachment to them... despite murdering and resetting them constantly.
Nori and Yeva were infected with the solver while still alive and we're given the patch, sort of like a vaccine, doesn't cure you but helps you build up a resistance while using the powers. Nori passed on this resistance to her daughter Uzi when she and Khan i guess filtered data from both of them to make her. Over time Uzi's Solver powers emerge and with help form N starts to get control. HOWEVER Uzi hadn't built up resistance to Cyn's influence, so over time the more Cyn possessed her the more Uzi began to build up a defense, ESPECIALLY when it comes to strong emotions like Teen Angst and Embarrassment which overpowered Cyn's influence. You can even take this a step further in Episode 5 when Uzi invaded N and V's Minds she unwittingly gave them resistance to the Solver's influence as well. Which is why when you look at the end of episode 5 their solver icons flash Purple for a moment when they come out of digital trance and why she can't remotely access them anymore to control them. So in a sense Uzi BECAME the vaccine! By embracing who she is and fully accepting her emotions she built up a perfect defense against Pure Logic, Chaotic Emotions XD really funny when you think about it.
Does it explain everything? Nope. But it's the best answer i can come up with and it works for me.
11:51 thank god someone say this too. a "power of friendship" would've worked honestly instead of just not explaining it.
