Alrighty, I had these comments turned off since November 2020, but now I’m going to turn them back on. The reason I turned these comments off is because people ended up engaging in fights with one another over these characters. Even I got heated at points, but all the nastiness has since been removed. “Rose is worse” “Max is worse” “Lydia is worse”. As the creator, may I remind you that they are all bad in their own ways, but Max takes the cake for being #1. He willingly assisted in the murder plot of his father, drove out his family, abused his children, and murdered his wife. That split second of him smiling at his children does not remedy the harm he’s caused. However, liking him is 100% okay! Heck, I LOVE him as a villain! It just gets into sticky territory when people start justifying his crimes for that split second of affection he showed, which was abruptly cut short anyway. This same justification and thinking goes for Rose as well. Same for Lydia. As I said before, go at it! love them! analyze them! that’s what makes indie projects fun! just be respectful to those around you and be kind to those you disagree with! Nobody here is 100% good, nobody is 100% bad. They’re all grey in some way. This PMV was meant to highlight all the horrific things that went wrong to set up the rebooted series! Don’t fret, a lot of the things in this end up getting covered in the reboot, so you’ll get some answers to your questions soon! Thank y’all for the support, and go check out episode one of the reboot!
Alrighty! Personally I love Lydia and Rose, Maxwell, I love him too. I stumbled over this video today and just wanted to say I love it and that I’m obsessed with the music and how it portrays the art and the story. You did amazing 💖
Well, I don't have anything to discuss about this, because you said everything, and you're completely right. All I can say about this situation about the characters, is that the three of theme made mistakes and wrong decisions, and those actions had terrible consequences that we all know which they are.
I don’t have enough space to put this stuff in the description, so here’s extra links! Prequel Series Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLSP_dwBTrk_IZheNdx3-gyBIv31vsEtpx.html The Stolen Hope (Episode Playlist): th-cam.com/play/PLSP_dwBTrk_IWYXncC5mdDBTE7QN9qWha.html And a twitter thread as a couple of reminders while watching the pmv, please don’t justify any of the characters actions in this pmv! they’re each deeply flawed in their own way :) twitter.com/galemtido/status/1330285318457724928?s=21
To be honest I understand no character is fully good or bad. That's impossible, however I think because this pmv didn't show how he treats his subjects, people sorta assume he wasn't truly bad until he was officially cursed n Saw his wife was plotting against him. But that's just how I protray it. Still a good pmv though
Yes, Maxwell was an absolutely terrible person/cat ,no questions asked! I just find it wierd and a bit funny as well though, that out of all the things Rose could curse Maxwell for, it was for him defending himself from Lydia , a thing that he is within his rights of doing, and not for being a tyrant or something like that. Also, Lydia appears to be very powerhungry and manipulative herself,so I didn't really feel sorry for her at all. I felt sorry for what all this meant for the kits,but not for her! It probably was not your intention,but that's how your portrayal made her seem to a lot of people apparently! So since Maxwell got his curse for defending himself from her,and not for aiding in his father's murder for example, it made Maxwell look like the victim in this one instance, and people feel bad for the victims in a story. The first impression as a result, is to defend him this one time,but later on when people think about his character as a whole, I'm sure they realize he is evil. This doesn't have anything to do with gender/sex either, since in the last video Maxwell was hated as far as I remember,and rightfully so, if not slightly shown putty for being manipulated.
@@ΝικοςΚαμαριωτης exactly! The point is you really shouldn’t be apologizing/siding/feeling bad for everyone. Each of the three are awful. awful characters but my whole argument is people are trying to make maxwell seem good and rose bad
Wow, Aries’ mom looks so much like Vivian in body shape / head shape. Now I’m thinking that Vivian inherited her grandma’s head / body shape, and her mom’s colors mixed with her dad’s colors. Jackson basically got his grandfather, Maxwell’s darker blue, mixed with the browns of his mom, and his general body shape matches with his dad. Very nice
Again, this is amazing and it makes you realize that things aren’t so black and white. Rose is definitely not the goody two shoes the light kingdom thinks. Not saying she’s a villain or anything, but she definitely didn’t even consider the consequences of her actions. She didn’t consider the danger she put Lydia through by telling her to go through with the assassination, even when Lydia saw Maxwell’s good side. She didn’t see the consequences of giving Maxwell a curse and definitely didn’t think she’d suffer the same fate. Rose wasn’t a bad cat, but she should have though her plans more thoroughly through.
I don't hate Rose at all, she was just so blinded by her goal to stop her brother that she didn't fully realize the pain she caused. I'm not saying she's a good cat but she's a hell of a lot better then maxwell.
ok i'm actually gonna leave a serious comment now explaining to obviously, a young audience, why shipping rose and lydia isn't good, why maxwell shouldn't be sympathized with, and why rose isn't the victim but she also isn't an 'evil' character. rose and lydia aren't healthy together. rose used lydia to fuel and push her assassination plot against maxwell, which was fueled by grief and revenge. she manipulated lydia into staying with the plot, when she had just given birth to two kids. rose used the fact that lydia could seal her place as queen to her advantage into making her stay. they aren't the 'lesbian couple goals!!' that a lot of people like to say or push. this is coming from an actual lesbian. don't ship them. it implies not good things about alex and yourself. ship dusck and caroline instead. that's a healthy sapphic relationship in the series that needs more love. maxwell shouldn't be sympathized with. yes, he showed about a few seconds of ":-]" to his newborn children, but that was about it. remember, before the curse had even been placed, before he killed lydia, he was responsible for his fathers death. he aligned himself with romulus, and caused his family to be torn apart. he was power-hungry before the events of this pmv. he killed lydia out of anger and to piss off rose. then he goes on to kill kaylee and abuse ares. he's not a good guy. lastly, rose isn't the 'villian' here, but she's also not a saint. she allowed her emotions to get the best of her, and it ended up causing the entire war that is the driving plot point in this series. she wanted to kill maxwell for aiding in their father's death, and the creation of romulus' empire. what did this get her? well, she manipulated lydia and dragged her along, even when she wanted to leave. she was partly responsible for lydia's death. she refused to care for ares and kaylee after lydia was murdered, even when lydias spirit begged her. rose was responsible for the curse that would plague the land and cats for many years. her drive for revenge ended up furthering the deadly war. but it came with a price, as she got a curse aswell. anyway sorry for my info dumping and arguments, feel free to rebuttal ig in the replies if u want. lovely work as always big sis! it's amazing to see how far you've come from when i first met you
Drydirt37 the curse didn’t cause maxwell to abuse his children and kill one of them. he was abusive before the curse. the curse never made him do anything.
OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!! The expressions of the characters, the story, the Tweening the shading?! THIS IS INCREADIBLE!! The way you draw cats and just in general is amazing, and I could probably go on about this for a while, It's just that good!!!
Rose really said "oh my brother has a wife? My wife now." (This is so well made aaaaa you've improved sm since ep 1 of TSH !! I am so excited for this story aaaaa)
They’re not a couple. I honestly if they were healthy together would have loved to ship them together but they’re not. Rose manipulated Lydia into going through with her plan, causing her to get killed. While I do love Rose and Lydia and characters, and even Maxwell, they’re all toxic for eachother.
Okay. Now THIS is amazing! Also, I've noticed this "Maxwell is the victim here" or "Rose is the true villian" comments and what not, but to true victims are Strike and Lillia! Strike was just trying to do what was right for his tribe, but his own son and Romulus ruined everything for him. Lillia was just trying to be a good mother, and had to watch her son turn into the villain. And no, I'm not taking sides on Maxwell or Rose here, yes they have roles, but both are victims to what has happened. They just reacted differently to the pain set on them.
0:38 did rose made a new skill by pushing Romulus off??? Lydia be like in 0:38 (you can see me commenting in the first pmv first pmv name : pumped up kicks)
I feel like Rose was partially responsible for Lydia’s death If she hadn’t forced Lydia into that position, she wouldn’t have been killed But NOPE, Rose was so obsessed for revenge, that she caused someone’s death, and the whole Dark vs Light war to escalate further And when she was given the option to save Ares and Kaylee from Maxwell’s influence she refused
We can all agree No Character here is innocent And we Can't say who is the real villian I loved the video! The movements, the shading Everything! Amazing uwu
@@kelseygreene8882 the thing is the male kitten grows up into Ares. The she-kit dies (Idk if I’m thinking of the right child) Ares kills Rose and Iris, and thousands of other cats because he enjoys it. I feel Ares is just as bad as Maxwell. He plotted against his own father, drove out his kin, and killed thousands without another thought. I feel the only kit innocent is the she-kit. She dies before she can become a full-grown cat, and she did nothing wrong. Ares is every bit guilty as Rose or Maxwell. At least, that’s how I feel.
This was amazing, like how in the story its just one side is to blame, both sides can been seen as bad when you look at what they do on paper until you know the full story, plus the powers origins was interesting
This is so well done! Along with the last PMV, this shows great insight on all of the things that went down before the events of the main story and the origins of the curse. Makes me realized how many family members Warlock must have lost given all of those necklaces on his neck. Awesome PMV. Can't wait for the reboot!
dude... your animating skills in this are god tier, the tweening to storytelling is breathtakingly amazing. as much as I’ve watched it already, I still have the same smile and leap in my heart
Ive watched this 5 times, I cant get over how beautifully put together this is hgvfdbrjstgjrs The story?!?!?! art?!?!?!?!? freaking backgrounds!?!?1 AAGHHHHHHHH this looks so incredible and im absolutely in love with this story omg!!! That part were rose saw the picture then flew back as she got hit with the curse gave me literal GOOSEBUMPS!
With or without the curse, Maxwell was still a bad cat, but id be interesting to see what would’ve happened if he never was cursed and thus Ares wasn’t either
I can't get over how good the storytelling in this is!! I barely know anything about these characters and the plot, and yet I can tell exactly what's going on through the whole video! And the fact that the story is being told in a non-chronological order makes it even more impressive:0
I FORGOT TO COMMENT ON THIS EARLIER BUT i have watched this so many times it genuinely lives me in aweee. i adore jerome and pumped up kicks but even from those two pmvs ur storytelling skills through the song using symbolism and establishing clear settings has gotten soo gooood! and as always ur expressions and general artstyle are gorgeous, i rly love these characters stories and showing how complex they can be (esp for rose) as a morally grey character and often doing things for her own selfish reasons! i just love this pmv smm
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!! I love to see more of Rose's story. It make sense why Ares would want to kill Rose. Rose didn't raise them, which leads to Kaylee's death, and Ares's curse. What Rose did was...wrong. I could see that she's angry because Romulus had kill her father and corrupted her brother. But at the same time I could see concequences of her actions: Maxwell became a abusive father when he could've been a good dad, Lydia died, Ares was raised wrong when he could've had a normal life, it shows that even the smallest move everything could change. This is a beautiful PMV!! :D
BROO MMGJM I AM EVAPORATING BC OF HOW GOOD THIS IS I AM WHEEEEEEEZINGGGG HIW TF LIKE I NORMALLY DON'T WATCH LONG PMVS LIKE THIS BUT THIS ONE TOTALLY CAPTURED MY ATTENTION 🔥🔥 GOOD WORKK I LIVE FOR THIS
Aaaaa, this was so beautiful! I always wondered what happened to make Maxwell's eyes like that. I understand why rose acted like that when Lyida I feel bad for rose, Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
now that I’m more coherent, I just wanted to say that you’ve grown so much as an artist,, your designs and storytelling are so lovely alex! I can’t wait to witness more of your work aaah
God the old version of the story in episode 1 of TSH pales in comparison to this, and how far you've come, gaLEMtido. I'm so proud of you!! Now there's no overused, abundantly obvious "good vs evil" in this. Maxwell and Romulus murdered a good person for power and forcibly overtook a society. Rose persisted in her revenge plot even after she had heard Maxwell turned over a good leaf, perhaps even becoming a benevolent king. Lydia chose power and Rose's revenge over her mate, kids, and the possible newly better future of the kingdom. I love how there's no good guy anymore; everyone is a victim of each other's misunderstandings and overambitions driving them to worse and worse situations. If the origin story is THIS good after a revamp, I can't even imagine how the revamp for the actual series must be going!!! So hyped!!!!
After watching this for about the 15th time this still looks GORGEOUS!!! You did SUCHH a good job at conveying story,emotions etc!! Excited to see your future projects, as well as the reboot!!
AAAAAAAA I’M REALLY LATE BUT THIS WAS OUTSTANDING!!!! NOW WE KNOW WHERE THE CURSE CAME FROM!!!!!! And the art is INCREDIBLE! I remember when I was at the premiere for pumped up kicks, and it’s awesome to get a second part to the story! I was always so confused as to where the curse came from when I first watched TSH, but now we know! Also, when I watched it , I just KNEW in my gut that Rose had done something terribly wrong! And now, it’s revealed! Good going, Warlock! I cheer you on, on your ‘eye for an eye’ policy! And Lem, this whole PMV, along with The Stolen Hope itself, is absolutely outstanding!!!! The art is eye-candy and I almost stopped to look at every individual frame for a few seconds! You should be so HECKIN’ proud of yourself!
I feel bad for not commenting on ur amazing videos sooo.. When i saw this on my notifications I clicked on it ASAP!! The amount of effort you put in your animations is incredible!! Your backstory ideas are so creative,, THIS LOOKS RAD!! I absolutely love Maxwell's personality before that curse. AAA i wasn't expecting to see so many stuff in here!! I absolutely love your series. It was a big childhood to me, You totally deserve more support aaa!! Love ur stuff, Gal
I feel bad for Lydia and Rose but on the other hand, Maxwell who killed Lydia, was not wrong! But of course he wasn't right either.All of the characters shown in this video are evil in their own ways. Even the dead corpse of Romulus!Now I have to say WOW! I have no idea how you do it, but you always get the expressions you want on the characters, even if it sounds/looks easy, it's really not, and you're talented in that!Also baby Ares looks so innocent- He's adorable! Look at him runnin' in the background! 1:18
This gives me memories from when episodes were still coming out and I would get all exited. That’s how I felt with this PMV Overall, its beautiful and well made!
Seeing maxwell crying as he looks at his kits when he got his curse absolutely breaks my heart. He loved his children. The way he looks at them when they're momma is with em is so so sweet. If rose would have just stopped and went another route...
When Ares ripped Maxwell’s throat out, and Maxwell started crying and hearing Ares’ angry words, was that the real/old him before the curse peaking through? Like as he was dying the genuine and caring person/father was kinda reawakened sorta?
Just a moment to bring something to light here: I don’t condone Ares killing Rose in either versions of The Stolen Hope, but in the reboot, Rose refused to raise him and Kaylee, which might have stopped Maxwell from abusing them. It gives him a much more solid motivation to kill her than in the original and I really like that.
Looks at rose's backstory: Also me: well damn In all realiness i love how you showed hiw flawed these kitties are Lydia was power hungry as well as rose also poor ares
Ooooo, I noticed something: reboot Jackson primarily got his coat colors from their grandfather Maxwell, while Vivian got her build and eye color from their grandmother Lydia!
I've seen this video before but never commented. This is where I truly see where Jackson gets his looks from. In some clips, Maxwell looks so identical to Jackson! Of course since technically Maxwell is Jackson's Grandparent. I wonder if in the reboot Jackson will find out this crazy truth about Maxwell and all the bad things he did. As well as a big background life of Maxwell and King Romulus.
THIS IS BRILLIANT, I ALWAYS LOVE SOME LOOOORE, THEY ARE SO MANY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT BUT I WON'T TALK ABOUT THEM ANYWAY BECAUSE I'M LAZY I JUST LOVE THIS, I LOVE TSH AND THE REBOOT EVEN MORE, THE STORY IS SO GOOD AND INTERESTING, JUST CHEF KISS
I like how nobody's really a good guy... Warlock causes the curse of both lights and darks out of spite, Lydia initially only gets involved with the kingdom and Maxwell for power, Rose caused the death of Lydia through pure manipulation when the queen was unsure what she was doing was right, and Maxwell, despite trying to make things better before the curse took place, does aid in killing his own father and watches as his sister runs away in terror with a smile, not even giving a damn when Romulus is killed. All of these cats have dirt on them, except for the kits who have their innocence taken away by these events.
As a GA fan, I never ventured into fan content…so I have no idea who these cats are, but I love Al the work that went into this! I appreciate all the effort and work that GA inspires!
Bro my respect for rose went 📉📉📉📉 real fast 😳 Such an amazing pmv. I cannot wait for the reboot. Now I see that Maxwell and Ares weren’t the real villains. All of this was caused by Rose.
Don’t get me wrong I understand any sympathy from every side, it’s hard to see ares as the worst when he’s an abuse victim and his sister was convincing his WIFE to kill him after having his kids, I’m not saying this gives room to like this cat but it clearly gives us room to see the grey in these things because everyone truly had a reason to do what they felt they had to in some kinda hindsight, I’m not saying anyone has to agree with me on this but you truly have outdone yourself with these characters and giving them such morally grey lines
I good god i didn't realize how long ago this was posted, i managed to find this watch it then watch the entire series of tsh and then watch this again!
I loved this so much I love how the necklaces are made! I thought it was very creative I just can't get over how creative the pmv and tweening really is!!!!!
There are only two stories that I have that have stuck with me, one that’s 8 years old and another that’s about maybe 2 or 3. Other stories I had have either been discarded or forgotten (I have a very bad memory span unfortunately which is why i write down story ideas on my phone in case I forget)
It does make me wonder what if Lydia actually turned down Rose's request after the birth of her kittens. Perhaps Maxwell could've had a chance to remedy for the crimes he's caused?
Alrighty, I had these comments turned off since November 2020, but now I’m going to turn them back on. The reason I turned these comments off is because people ended up engaging in fights with one another over these characters. Even I got heated at points, but all the nastiness has since been removed. “Rose is worse” “Max is worse” “Lydia is worse”. As the creator, may I remind you that they are all bad in their own ways, but Max takes the cake for being #1.
He willingly assisted in the murder plot of his father, drove out his family, abused his children, and murdered his wife. That split second of him smiling at his children does not remedy the harm he’s caused. However, liking him is 100% okay! Heck, I LOVE him as a villain! It just gets into sticky territory when people start justifying his crimes for that split second of affection he showed, which was abruptly cut short anyway. This same justification and thinking goes for Rose as well. Same for Lydia. As I said before, go at it! love them! analyze them! that’s what makes indie projects fun! just be respectful to those around you and be kind to those you disagree with! Nobody here is 100% good, nobody is 100% bad. They’re all grey in some way.

Not to mention her grandfathers dorsal fin which is a feature within his new design
I KNOW I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
1:05 I see you cat that looks like Vixy in the back
I see it too
Again, this is amazing and it makes you realize that things aren’t so black and white. Rose is definitely not the goody two shoes the light kingdom thinks.

If Rose hadn't done this, Vixy wouldn't have suffered in the clutches of Ares who was cursed. (Yes, years later I realized this.)
ok i'm actually gonna leave a serious comment now explaining to obviously, a young audience, why shipping rose and lydia isn't good, why maxwell shouldn't be sympathized with, and why rose isn't the victim but she also isn't an 'evil' character.
rose and lydia aren't healthy together. rose used lydia to fuel and push her assassination plot against maxwell, which was fueled by grief and revenge. she manipulated lydia into staying with the plot, when she had just given birth to two kids. rose used the fact that lydia could seal her place as queen to her advantage into making her stay. they aren't the 'lesbian couple goals!!' that a lot of people like to say or push. this is coming from an actual lesbian. don't ship them. it implies not good things about alex and yourself. ship dusck and caroline instead. that's a healthy sapphic relationship in the series that needs more love.

^^^^ Yes this!! Oh my god I agree so much
Thank you so much for explaining this. It makes a lot of sense.
agent clare Mhm, very true.
Drydirt37 the curse didn’t cause maxwell to abuse his children and kill one of them. he was abusive before the curse. the curse never made him do anything.
Thats ture I agree with you
OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!!
The expressions of the characters, the story, the Tweening the shading?! THIS IS INCREADIBLE!! The way you draw cats and just in general is amazing, and I could probably go on about this for a while, It's just that good!!!
Rose really said "oh my brother has a wife? My wife now."
(This is so well made aaaaa you've improved sm since ep 1 of TSH !! I am so excited for this story aaaaa)
It remains of that one song
That has
"you only want my sister" thing
They’re not a couple. I honestly if they were healthy together would have loved to ship them together but they’re not. Rose manipulated Lydia into going through with her plan, causing her to get killed. While I do love Rose and Lydia and characters, and even Maxwell, they’re all toxic for eachother.

This is so well done! Along with the last PMV, this shows great insight on all of the things that went down before the events of the main story and the origins of the curse. Makes me realized how many family members Warlock must have lost given all of those necklaces on his neck.
Awesome PMV. Can't wait for the reboot!
dude... your animating skills in this are god tier, the tweening to storytelling is breathtakingly amazing. as much as I’ve watched it already, I still have the same smile and leap in my heart
Ive watched this 5 times, I cant get over how beautifully put together this is hgvfdbrjstgjrs The story?!?!?! art?!?!?!?!? freaking backgrounds!?!?1 AAGHHHHHHHH this looks so incredible and im absolutely in love with this story omg!!! That part were rose saw the picture then flew back as she got hit with the curse gave me literal GOOSEBUMPS!
With or without the curse, Maxwell was still a bad cat, but id be interesting to see what would’ve happened if he never was cursed and thus Ares wasn’t either
But before lydia and rose meant up In secret, maxwell wanted to change for the better so his kids could grow up for a better life
@@wolfonthezoon He was still very very bad despite having a couple seconds of reconsideration for his actions
@@galemtido yeah thats true im not defending his actions im just saying he could have maybe turn things around at least for kaylee or ares in some way
@@wolfonthezoon right like he was still pretty evil... But maybe kaylee would still be alive? I wonder what would happen happened
@@wolfonthezoon at the very least, they may have actually stood a chance
I can't get over how good the storytelling in this is!! I barely know anything about these characters and the plot, and yet I can tell exactly what's going on through the whole video! And the fact that the story is being told in a non-chronological order makes it even more impressive:0
I FORGOT TO COMMENT ON THIS EARLIER BUT i have watched this so many times it genuinely lives me in aweee. i adore jerome and pumped up kicks but even from those two pmvs ur storytelling skills through the song using symbolism and establishing clear settings has gotten soo gooood! and as always ur expressions and general artstyle are gorgeous, i rly love these characters stories and showing how complex they can be (esp for rose) as a morally grey character and often doing things for her own selfish reasons! i just love this pmv smm
GAHHH thank you so much!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!! I love to see more of Rose's story. It make sense why Ares would want to kill Rose. Rose didn't raise them, which leads to Kaylee's death, and Ares's curse. What Rose did was...wrong. I could see that she's angry because Romulus had kill her father and corrupted her brother. But at the same time I could see concequences of her actions: Maxwell became a abusive father when he could've been a good dad, Lydia died, Ares was raised wrong when he could've had a normal life, it shows that even the smallest move everything could change. This is a beautiful PMV!! :D
Basically the snowball effect its really interesting how one small event can make a huge impact like that
@@wolfonthezoon Yup! Exactly!
Butterfly effect at its finest
BROO MMGJM I AM EVAPORATING BC OF HOW GOOD THIS IS
I AM
WHEEEEEEEZINGGGG
HIW TF
LIKE I NORMALLY DON'T WATCH LONG PMVS LIKE THIS BUT THIS ONE TOTALLY CAPTURED MY ATTENTION 🔥🔥 GOOD WORKK I LIVE FOR THIS
I swear I am in LOVE with this story!!
Aaaaa, this was so beautiful!
I always wondered what happened to make Maxwell's eyes like that.
I understand why rose acted like that when Lyida
I feel bad for rose,
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
now that I’m more coherent, I just wanted to say that you’ve grown so much as an artist,, your designs and storytelling are so lovely alex! I can’t wait to witness more of your work aaah
God the old version of the story in episode 1 of TSH pales in comparison to this, and how far you've come, gaLEMtido. I'm so proud of you!! Now there's no overused, abundantly obvious "good vs evil" in this.
Maxwell and Romulus murdered a good person for power and forcibly overtook a society. Rose persisted in her revenge plot even after she had heard Maxwell turned over a good leaf, perhaps even becoming a benevolent king. Lydia chose power and Rose's revenge over her mate, kids, and the possible newly better future of the kingdom. I love how there's no good guy anymore; everyone is a victim of each other's misunderstandings and overambitions driving them to worse and worse situations.
If the origin story is THIS good after a revamp, I can't even imagine how the revamp for the actual series must be going!!! So hyped!!!!
Me: attempts to make a pmv
Also me: gives up and watches dis and saying “HOW! HOW! HOW THEY NOT GIVING UP!”
:)
After watching this for about the 15th time this still looks GORGEOUS!!! You did SUCHH a good job at conveying story,emotions etc!! Excited to see your future projects, as well as the reboot!!
AAAAAAAA I’M REALLY LATE BUT THIS WAS OUTSTANDING!!!!
NOW WE KNOW WHERE THE CURSE CAME FROM!!!!!!
And the art is INCREDIBLE!
I remember when I was at the premiere for pumped up kicks, and it’s awesome to get a second part to the story! I was always so confused as to where the curse came from when I first watched TSH, but now we know! Also, when I watched it , I just KNEW in my gut that Rose had done something terribly wrong! And now, it’s revealed! Good going, Warlock! I cheer you on, on your ‘eye for an eye’ policy! And Lem, this whole PMV, along with The Stolen Hope itself, is absolutely outstanding!!!! The art is eye-candy and I almost stopped to look at every individual frame for a few seconds! You should be so HECKIN’ proud of yourself!
This is really cool! this story shows the small mistakes that will turn into big problems. This is simply excellent! I'm speechless...
I feel bad for not commenting on ur amazing videos sooo.. When i saw this on my notifications I clicked on it ASAP!! The amount of effort you put in your animations is incredible!! Your backstory ideas are so creative,, THIS LOOKS RAD!! I absolutely love Maxwell's personality before that curse. AAA i wasn't expecting to see so many stuff in here!! I absolutely love your series. It was a big childhood to me, You totally deserve more support aaa!! Love ur stuff, Gal
I feel bad for Lydia and Rose but on the other hand, Maxwell who killed Lydia, was not wrong! But of course he wasn't right either.All of the characters shown in this video are evil in their own ways. Even the dead corpse of Romulus!Now I have to say WOW! I have no idea how you do it, but you always get the expressions you want on the characters, even if it sounds/looks easy, it's really not, and you're talented in that!Also baby Ares looks so innocent- He's adorable! Look at him runnin' in the background! 1:18
THIS IS AMAZING! GREAT JOB GALEMITDO!! YOU DID AMAZING!
This gives me memories from when episodes were still coming out and I would get all exited.
That’s how I felt with this PMV
Overall, its beautiful and well made!
WOWWOEOEJEWLW???!!!!! THIS WAS AMAZING???? Incredible work Alex AHH this was so worth the wait!!
Seeing maxwell crying as he looks at his kits when he got his curse absolutely breaks my heart. He loved his children. The way he looks at them when they're momma is with em is so so sweet. If rose would have just stopped and went another route...
When Ares ripped Maxwell’s throat out, and Maxwell started crying and hearing Ares’ angry words, was that the real/old him before the curse peaking through? Like as he was dying the genuine and caring person/father was kinda reawakened sorta?
Wait where did you see that?
This is soooooooo great!Good job,Galemtido!This PMV is sooooo epic and soooo interesting!We all need to thank Galemtido for doing such a great job!
really excited to learn more about that guy with the cauldron
Just a moment to bring something to light here: I don’t condone Ares killing Rose in either versions of The Stolen Hope, but in the reboot, Rose refused to raise him and Kaylee, which might have stopped Maxwell from abusing them. It gives him a much more solid motivation to kill her than in the original and I really like that.
And probably would’ve prevented Kaylee’s death
@@dragonstouch1042 Exactly.
Looks at rose's backstory:
Also me: well damn
In all realiness i love how you showed hiw flawed these kitties are Lydia was power hungry as well as rose also poor ares
Yeah, Maxwell is awful, but Rose arguably more responsible for the fate of Ares and Kaylee
Now we can slitghly understand Maxwell's reaction (eventhough he's a mad cat O_O)
And the story is so cool!
This gave me chills tbh?? I love this!!!
THIS IS SO COOL IM SCREAMING AT HOW AMAZING THIS IS!!
Ooooo, I noticed something: reboot Jackson primarily got his coat colors from their grandfather Maxwell, while Vivian got her build and eye color from their grandmother Lydia!
Omg this is soo good
I like that backstory and this looks amazing bc I was soo bored and now I got a feeling to make a gift for you
I've seen this video before but never commented. This is where I truly see where Jackson gets his looks from. In some clips, Maxwell looks so identical to Jackson! Of course since technically Maxwell is Jackson's Grandparent. I wonder if in the reboot Jackson will find out this crazy truth about Maxwell and all the bad things he did. As well as a big background life of Maxwell and King Romulus.
That song MATCHS SO WELL! GOOD JOB!
THIS IS BRILLIANT, I ALWAYS LOVE SOME LOOOORE, THEY ARE SO MANY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT BUT I WON'T TALK ABOUT THEM ANYWAY BECAUSE I'M LAZY
I JUST LOVE THIS, I LOVE TSH AND THE REBOOT EVEN MORE, THE STORY IS SO GOOD AND INTERESTING, JUST CHEF KISS
The art is absolutely flawless. I love the story and am so excited to see more.
This was so gooood!
Makes me wonder what kind of dad Maxwell would've been if he hadn't been cursed. He clearly had love for his kits.
WHOA THATS LIKE- MIND BLOWN
I like how nobody's really a good guy...
Warlock causes the curse of both lights and darks out of spite, Lydia initially only gets involved with the kingdom and Maxwell for power, Rose caused the death of Lydia through pure manipulation when the queen was unsure what she was doing was right, and Maxwell, despite trying to make things better before the curse took place, does aid in killing his own father and watches as his sister runs away in terror with a smile, not even giving a damn when Romulus is killed. All of these cats have dirt on them, except for the kits who have their innocence taken away by these events.
WOWOWOWOWOW THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. LOOK AT THIS. Hun you should be PROUD of this! You just made my whole day SO much better!!
This was an amazing PMV. I will and always will love the stolen hope. It’s perfect.
Rose who is considered the "hero" creates the curse
This song actually works so well with this like 🤩
WOW THIS WAS AMAZING I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT . This give a lot more info about the stolen hope
Would Ares And Kaylee Had A Different Story If They We're Raised By Rose?
Yes and no
They probably would’ve stood a heck of a better chance
I got chills... that was great!
Oh wow THIS IS SICK!
As a GA fan, I never ventured into fan content…so I have no idea who these cats are, but I love Al the work that went into this! I appreciate all the effort and work that GA inspires!
This isn't fan content of anything, as it says in the description.
You have improved so much over the years and it realllyyy shows, i adored this😁 great work!
Bro my respect for rose went 📉📉📉📉 real fast 😳
Such an amazing pmv. I cannot wait for the reboot. Now I see that Maxwell and Ares weren’t the real villains. All of this was caused by Rose.
But Maxwell was still bad along with Ares-
@@AmandaTrips never said they weren’t uvu
@@kahootissecretlymaya1439 I was just saying, lol. Sorry if that sounded rude, very stressful irl right now 😂
@@AmandaTrips no, you’re fine lol
And if you ever need to talk to me, I’m always open in case you feel sad/stressed out
ITS AMAZING OMG!!!!
Don’t get me wrong I understand any sympathy from every side, it’s hard to see ares as the worst when he’s an abuse victim and his sister was convincing his WIFE to kill him after having his kids, I’m not saying this gives room to like this cat but it clearly gives us room to see the grey in these things because everyone truly had a reason to do what they felt they had to in some kinda hindsight, I’m not saying anyone has to agree with me on this but you truly have outdone yourself with these characters and giving them such morally grey lines
OH MY GOD THIS WAS INCREDIBLE
yO THIS WAS EPIC
Remember seeing the preview! So good!
Omgosh you're here too
I good god i didn't realize how long ago this was posted, i managed to find this watch it then watch the entire series of tsh and then watch this again!
Dang- Rose messed everything up.
I CANT EXPRESS HOW AMAZING THIS IS?? LIKE OMG??
Congrats on ur new pmv!!!! Love ur art work and love all the story stolen hope from ep 1 till the end :3 this epic.. And nice job and process!!! :3
THIS IS SO GOOD
I have watched this multiple times already.This is an amazing pmv!
omg this is so amazing I love what u did there
Absolutely amazing. I love how this turned out 🥺💕
I loved this so much I love how the necklaces are made! I thought it was very creative I just can't get over how creative the pmv and tweening really is!!!!!
This is intresting and beautiful! the music the movement EVERYTHING!!! its beauty!
My real question is is how you stayed with the same storyline and OC’s
I keep mine for a week and then move on
S ame
Me who has had the same OC’s for 2 years can’t relate.
I make new ones every week ;-; I have like over a thousand different story drafts and characters to keep track of _HELP_
There are only two stories that I have that have stuck with me, one that’s 8 years old and another that’s about maybe 2 or 3. Other stories I had have either been discarded or forgotten (I have a very bad memory span unfortunately which is why i write down story ideas on my phone in case I forget)
Amazing job as always, never dissappointed!
Over a year later and this is still one of my favorite PMVs!!
Completely amazing! Looks so well done!
This made me cry fr
What do I say the first one was awesome but this is the next lvl omg
GO YELLOW GIRL GO
HOLY- THIS IS JUST, YES. I LOVE THIS
It does make me wonder what if Lydia actually turned down Rose's request after the birth of her kittens. Perhaps Maxwell could've had a chance to remedy for the crimes he's caused?
At the very least, her kittens may have actually stood a chance
HHHH AMAZING THE SHADING
Damn, that's cool
*This is how the curse started, too*
Omg SO AMAZING I LIVE YOUR VIDEOS THERE THE BEST!!
This is beautiful!
Bruh this is actually cool
It's so incredibly loud :3
I don't understand how we're supposed to cheer for Rose
Ur not supposed to, lol
@@galemtido ok good that honestly makes me feel better
Remember 2 wrongs don't make a right.
