*Important update for any newcomers:* I admire the optimism for the official Songs of War series to return, I really do. Unfortunately, there was an incident that essentially drove any small remaining chances of that happening straight to zero. You see, after the series was cancelled, the director (whose name you probably know from the video, but I will not mention due to reasons you will see in a moment) left the Black Plasma Studios channel to pursue a career in making games, as Songs of War season 1 ended up not being as successful as he'd hoped. With the announcement that the series was canceled, the script for seasons 2 and 3 were released. While this severely diminished the chances of the official series making a return, this did not stop fans from continuing in their place. People began animating scenes and even entire episodes, using the script as a foundation. It was still somewhat okay for the Songs of War fanbase, all in all. At least, it was okay. Up until the incident, that is. One day, a young girl known to be working for Black Plasma Studios came forward, revealing that the series' director had been grooming her while she was underage (I don't remember when she said it started, but the age of 13 was mentioned in there). Not only that, but she was able to actually prove it. The community, and the channel, quickly fell into shambles. The director stopped all updates on his game, groups of fans stopped all work on projects related to Songs of War, and the channel ended up rebranding itself to Squared Media in an attempt to cut ties with you-know-who. If anything, we're lucky that the series is even still publicly available. All in all, the future of the series is now essentially in the gutter. The channel wants as little connection to him as possible, so they're most DEFINITELY not going to bring back a series that a child predator's name is HEAVILY associated with. It sucks that Songs of War was cut short, but what sucks EVEN MORE is that its legacy was tainted by the actions its own creator.
IF YOU READ THIS..... Thank you very much for the entire summary, all these years I was overwhelmed and I never understood what happened, until now. The news hurts me, how is it possible that probably the best Minecraft animation and... I won't waste any more words complaining and I just wanted to thank you for the information and without anything else to say I also thank you for the animations that remained and the fandub that saved the series animating what was left in the script.
Is it possible to create and entire film without getting sued? Like.....me? I'm already beggining work on it, if all goes well, it should come out in like, a decade? In the film industry
Just Imagine What will happen with the Internet if some day they will show us a teaser to the second season of Songs of War. I think that the whole community will blow up from that kind of news.
As much as I hate to say it, that'll probably never happen. They rebranded the channel in an attempt to cut ties with the director after the incident. Bringing back a series that his name is heavily associated with would make that essentially pointless.
@@darckap2785 I didn't even know who the director of the series was tbfh. I only just now heard of this drama. Yeah, JUST now. It is a true shame the series can't continue, as it's one of the most unique I've seen in terms of Minecraft animation. I feel that continuing the series wouldn't associate them with the ex-director. He's gone, and he won't earn a penny from any future plans for the project. The art does not deserve to rot in the garbage bin just because its creator was a fool. Still, I can see where SM is coming from, so oh well. Rip SOW.
In the cancellation announcement on Black Plasma Community, David said that they earned less than $1 for every 1000 views, but the patrons made up for the difference and were the main reason they took so long deciding whether or not to continue. Edit: Oops, didn't see video release date.
I believe someday a streaming platform will pick this up, trust me even if it has been 3 years i still think this has WAAY too much potential to go unnoticed, it might be adapted to something else in the far future
The true reason why this series was cancelled is because thier sponser thalleous' own brand peas wasn't able to support due to thalleous himself being dead.
To this day, I am still heartbroken that Songs of War is cancelled. I am also heartbroken that Black Plasma Studios changed their name to Squared Media.
The director of Songs of War actually got caught grooming an underage girl. After the accusation and supporting evidence came out, the channel rebranded itself in an attempt to cut all ties with him. Yeah, they had a good reason for changing the channel's name. Edit: spelling.
As a person with pretty much 0 childhood. songs of war is something i remember looking forward to the episodes every weekend i think so.I will probably re-watch it again sometime. I am extremely sad that there will be no official season 2 they also changed their name from black plasma studios which i found out like yesterday.
Yeah, there was an incident that drove any small chances of this series returning to zero. Long story short, the director got caught grooming an underage girl. She accused him of doing so, then she was able to provide proof. Just like that, the legacy of the series was tainted forever.
Nice Video, I was expecting you to talk about the SoW Union... We're the fans that came together to do BIG projects related to SoW... If lucky enough... You may see me and my members create these next seasons. Edit: If you see anyone named like me or these "Kapitein" and "Arcanean"... That is the best opportunity to enter.
I think one of the saddest things is while I got to the finale when reading the script, I thought how good the soundtrack for Season 2 and 3 would have been if it wasn’t cancelled. I know that some of the soundtrack for the other seasons were in the extended material album but still. THE SOUNDTRACK WOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST AS WELL IF NOT, BETTER THAN SEASON 1!!!!!
For everyone here the songs of war series has been continued by the community. Even tho the part created by the community might not be of the greatest quality compared to the original first season, if you like the lore it’s still very entertaining.
@@devinwhite2492 well I'm still mad at him. Songs Of War is quite literally one of if not THE BEST minecraft animation/movie ever made, by this point no one even cares about david or whoever it was because 99% of the people wanting SOW back don't even have a clue who that guy is. Hell I just learned he even existed just now even though I found out about the series when it first started and even after it was canceled
Songs of War will always have a special place in my heart as one of best works of fiction I've ever had the privilege to enjoy... as unlikely as it is, I sincerely hope that it will return one day
I think that after Arcadian comes out David might attempt season 2. Currently the full version has 61+ million views. This is not counting the individual episodes, bloopers, or behind the scenes Veiws. This probably means he has made over 100k from this. I personally hope he makes season 2 and i think millions of others do aswell.
I really appreciate the video, but I just can't ignore the voice-over. It feels like your nose was clogged while you were speaking, to the point where even I started to feel suffocated...
I think I recorded this when I had COVID so. yeah. Probably wasn't a good idea. If I redid this video today I would definitely do some things different, including the voice over of course.
If it could happen one day. I loved the series. Its beautiful. The fanmade are ok. I love the stories of Minecraft past. Like grom corinthius. And others. I hope they make a new series with a similar story. Nir the same universe obviously. But still something that cam bring you in and give you an escape. 😊 I heard the story if why it stopped. And i understand completely why they didnt. I completely agree with stopping l.
Story writters,if it ever happens to plan out for a show's story but the show gets cancelled with bo intention to come back, *at least tell us what was planned to happen in the story!* Fanmade versions of the continuation exist,but we will never those if those are what the original was meant to be,and probably are not.
Sorry but black plasma studio is no more 😔 and they never made more i love it so much but good thing has to end😭 it's been 4 years and never i see more
well its cancelled and isnt because fans made the rest of it and made every season from cancelled scenes its PERFECT and the ending too well its bad but its fan made so what to expect
Of course it's all about money bruh. Imagine creating a master piece only to abandon it bc of the financial difficulties instead of pulling through to see it come into fruition

Would you mind explaining a bit?
The songs of war animation is sponsored by thalleous' own brand peas.
Since thalleous is dead, the sponsor wasn't able to support the animation funds.
@@jhoansanchez8836 I see . Thanks
It was a part of the bloopers 😂

I will be 30+ years old before they release a trailer for season 2

just found this video today and watched the full movie days before

And it's literally no longer cancelled, just in a "lack of funding state"
Bro if mojang gave a green light to this than the shitty live action movie then it would have been wild😅😢
Bps or squared media on their way to Create a series that puts Hollywood to shame just to cancel it as soon as it’s at its best

Perhaps I guessed the reason correctly through the comparison between SOW and Starfall
people made the full season 2 and XunMengLong did episode 10 of season 3 so we can watch something very close to what we would have gotten.
I was denying watching fanmmade season 2 but I just learned bps wont animate the season 2 so I'll watch the new seasons :')

maybe I should do lore videos on it
Why you should watch a film whit no end
Why u should live if ur gonna die anyways
Maybe because its good
This series gave me the chills I loved it so much as a kid and still do to this day
Not every saga has a proper ending, some leave things on cliffhangers, like clover field for example. We still have questions to ask
Like the tragedy of shadow of israphel for a new generation
SOW, when i watched it, it looked like a real million dollar budget film, i still hold out hope that it can be brought back and completed
Guess what, I was one of the voice actors this is one of my lines “he was a nice guy”who’s is it😮
hyvää päivää finnish language spotted
I am clinging on to worthless hope that somehow SOW returns the same way sega will make a silver & blaze generations game.
Maybe the real Songs of War season 2 was the friends we made along the way

actually the original script WAS released and there is a fan made versions made based on the original script
Bro the studio released the script, you can read it on google,and the fanmade versions are actually cannon, the fans animated parts from the script
In this day and age they should be able to do it easily with 58m views
