    Im sorry but the absolute terror on murdocs face when the portal closed. Jamie did an AMAZING job on showing that he thought they wouldnt come back for them. Murdoc knows hes done terrible things to them, and was not expecting them to come back. And 2D came back for him, his face was just OMG he was SO relieved. Its insane how a perfect combo of music and visuals can create such vivid storytelling

      What do you even mean "murdoc did terrible things". They thought noodle died in el manana so he made a cyborg version, not knowing that noodle survived. Are you speaking in assumption perhaps and it wasn't even amazing but i don't even blame jamie anyways.

    Everyone's talking Murdoc and 2D which is understandable, but does anyone else see that Russel is mainly concerned about Noodles safety. She was safe in his mouth at the beginning, he helps her put onto the lighthouse. Holding her hand, holding her wrist as they go through the portal. He's concerned about her and only her here. It's so cute like an older brother protecting his lil sis

      I absolutely love their relationship with each other. It's somewhat overshadowed by Murdoc and 2D's, but I think Noodle and Russel have the best dynamic together. Russel has cared so much for Noodle over the years and like you said, it's really cute.

Noodle is the youngest, at one point we thought she was dead, so we can see why Russell will be more protective of her.

    Since Murdoc is the one who literally kidnapped and locked 2D during phase 3, I think the destruction of the Plastic Beach is a nice metaphore of Murdoc losing his control over 2D.

    Here’s a list of some things important things I noticed:
    -Murdoc arrives wearing the mask of the Boogeyman
    -Noodle falls out of Russ’s mouth, just like her reveal in the Rhinestone Eyes animatics
    -2D throws up a miniature Massive Dick in a reference to Cyborg Noodle’s octopus in the Melancholy Hill music video (the same squid can be seen in this video)
    -Russel first appears on the island as his giant self from the Plastic Beach Storyline
    -The skeleton wearing glasses is Daley from the Doncamatic music video (thx for the fix comment section)
    -Skeleton of the Black Cloud Pilot from the Rhinestone Eyes animatics
    -Noodle finds her cracked butterfly mask washed up in the sand from the Plastic Beach Storyline
    -Cyborg Noodle washed up in Daley’s submarine (also from the Doncamatic music video) graffitied with the word RINGO. This is the name of the ship that Murdoc encountered in his book “The Book of Murdoc”
    -Murdoc sheds a tear after seeing the state of Cyborg Noodle
    -Leee John: King of The Sea
    -Leee John has 2 broken chain cuffs on his wrists, possibly revealing that he has been held captive under Plastic Beach since the very beginning of that album
    -The ruined ship where the Boogeyman summoned the crew of the Black Cloud in the Rhinestone Eyes animatics
    -The submarine sinks into the depths as Leee John begins his destruction on Plastic Beach, revealing that Cyborg Noodle is STILL ALIVE!
    -During the destruction frames, Big Rick Black’s Record Shack can be seen. This is where Murdoc first abducted Russ to be a part of the band all the way back in Phase 1 and that gets destroyed along with Plastic Beach
    -As the portal reappears to help the band members escape the sinking island, Murdoc is almost left behind to die before 2D reaches through the portal to save him. This could possibly be 2D paying back Murdoc for leaving Murdoc at the docks during the Desole music video.
    Alrighty, that’s about all the major things that I noticed.
    Edit: I should probably include that the Pink Phantom escapes into the sky as everyone arrives on Plastic Beach

I could sense that there was some inspiration from that in the video, and I love that about it. Also, the "Kongscope" caption at the beginning really adds to the cinematic quality.

    @largeproblem 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3666

    When you think about it, this video is Murdoc having to confront his mistakes to a pretty severe extent.
    Plastic Beach was a disaster for everyone in the group, one that he pretty much hand-crafted:
    - He created Cyborg Noodle to replace Noodle after she went missing.
    - He was the one who pissed off the Boogeyman and his pirates and got people killed as the band was forced to split up.
    - He was the one who had the band relocate to Plastic Beach in the first place.
    In other words, pretty much most (if not all) of Plastic Beach is Murdoc’s fault.
    And in this video, when they all wash up on the shore, that’s why Murdoc’s immediately bummed out. Amid the band basically replacing him with Ace for a while, and then willingly leaving him out (as seen in the other Song Machine videos), they’re now brought to the biggest reminder of how terrible he’s been to all of them. And maybe he’s trying to get better, but Plastic Beach still stands as a monument to the terrible, self-centered things that Murdoc has done, and as another reason for the band to never forgive him.
    That’s also why Lost Chord (and Song Machine Season 1 as a whole) are so crucial to his character. Throughout the season, we’ve seen and heard that Murdoc is TRYING to be better. He knows he messed up, and he wants to take it all back. The biggest obstacle there is his own selfishness, and his awful treatment of the band thus far. That’s why Noodle and Russell are shown to be skeptical of him trying to get involved again, and why 2D is still constantly protected by the both of them, even as he’s come out of his shell in recent years.
    This video is the culmination of that; when confronted with a literal life-or-death situation, Murdoc finally gets to see if the band thinks saving, and worth keeping around. And sure, Noodle and Russ are quick to bolt and leave him behind, but *2D goes back.*
    2D, the one whose nickname comes from the very first injuries that Murdoc inflicted on him (2 dents, cuz his eyes were all wonky after Murdoc ran him over twice).
    2D, who has been used and abused by Murdoc over the years, forgave him. And whether or not that’s justified isn’t up to us; it’s up to Damon, and Jamie, and everyone else involved with the group.
    Song Machine S1 has been a narrative of finding brightness in the darkest times (which we’ve had a lot of, recently) and comfort in an odd world. By extension, saving Murdoc may not be the most justifiable action, but it was one built on hope. And, if Song Machine, the bigger Gorillaz narrative, or 2020 in general has taught us anything, it’s that hope is what’s gonna get us through this.

    2D reaching out to Murdoc is the most important symbol in all of Gorillaz, I think. The whole song machine phase was about Murdoc losing control, not feeling needed anymore, falling into depression. In Désolé, he was crying on the couch, at the end of The pink phantom, he showed up, seeming desperate for attention.
    In the past, it was the opposite. Murdoc had all the power, controlling and abusing 2D. It all changed in Humanz, when 2D got free of Murdocs control, showing in his white eyes.
    All of that combining, it is so powerful seeing 2D reaching out for Murdoc, showing he cares about him, despite everything Murdoc has done to him. He showed Murdoc doesn't need to worry, he is still an important part of the group and is not left behind.

I've noticed the eyes of 2D aren't always black anymore, he's not taunted anymore by Murdoc. They actually became friends and I think he forgave Murdoc, as it shows here because he came back for him. Also, in Desolé, 2D left Murdoc, this might be some sort of repayment for that as well. I really think they've grown to become great friends

This was basically all four of them confronting their past (2D's fear of whales, Noodle's mask that used to hide her bruises from escaping hell, and Russell turning into a giant mutant after a psychotic episode when Del was exorcised from him) but focuses on Murdoc as Plastic Beach was mainly about him.
      Around Phase 3, Murdoc abandoned his search for Noodle and opted to create a cyborg clone of her to be his bodyguard and new guitarist, replaced Russ with a drum machine, kidnapped and held 2D captive the entire time.
      Murdoc helping all of them get up the top of the light house and going last shows how much he's changed and 2D being the one to save him in the end prolly means he's forgiven Murdoc for treating him horribly for years.

Not to mention Murdoc coming to terms with the fact that he was the real monster in that part of his life

Plastic beach is my favourite album, not just from gorillaz, in general, plastic beach is my favorite album and it's kind of a part of me, so seeing that again was awesome. Seeing it getting destroyed is like closing a memory, and it means a lot to the lore, it would mean something like finally closing a dark age and starting again, with forgiveness.

    I like how all the characters have ptsd when they first arrive, murdoc and the boogeyman, 2d and the whale, noodle and her ship getting sunken because of murdocs deal, and russ who got big and basically had to live in the ocean for about a year, they all had phobias and different fears then at the end, they all felt relief from plastic Beach being destroyed, all the different subs the other artist took to get to plastic Beach, and the kong studio getting destroyed, good memories finally resting in peace, this was a sad episode, 2ds abuser finally changes heart in the now now when he was in prison and 2d forgives him for all the pain murdoc put him in for the past 20 years or so, this was a good episode 🥲

      To tell the truth, I wasn't fond of Murdoc, given that he treats 2D like garbage and that he tries to act like a big shot with only his own interests at heart, but over the course of the Song Machine series he somewhat evolved from an antagonist to antihero, but this video makes Murdoc actually sympathetic for once. I mean, I never seen him cry, ever. And near the end of the video when he helped the others get to the portal and was almost left behind then 2D rescues him at the last minute, I think this is definitive proof that Murdoc is beginning to grow as a person and not just a cynical narcissist.

      Not even just 2D. He kidnapped Russel and basically made him be the drummer, he had Noodle be bait in some stupid plot with his old guitarist that left her alone for years leading up to Plastic Beach’s events, creating Cyborg Noodle and not being responsible for all the terrible shit that she went through, now being stuck in the dark trenches of the sea, and he’s always been a cock to 2D, even in this album (Aires and Friday 13th.) by all accounts, Murdoc deserved to die with Plastic Beach and be reborn as a slug.
      That’s why it’s so beautiful that 2D is the one to save him. He was his first victim but at the end of the day, Murdoc is still his family, Gorillaz’s family, and he wasn’t gonna let this horrible place be his tomb. In the shot of them grabbing hands, you can see just from how tight they hold each other how much they really do care for each other. Murdoc even helped the 3 get to the portal first instead of just hoping through it himself. The character development is simply beautiful.

      Everyone loved that moment where 2-D went back for him, even after all the screwed up stuff that Murdoc did to him; I feel like he will learn to appreciate 2-D for that. Though I'm more so interested in how this will be later explored when Season 2 comes around, it might be unlikely since it will mostly focus on the music, but only because I think it would be cool to see how Murdoc's character can develop further. I think it's just something that many of the fans that are interested in the lore of Gorillaz would want to see. However, in this moment between the two characters shows potential for a full Murdoc redemption arc, and for me that's a win.

      @@fairypebble5938 yep I read that too (or watched it? i forget). So...pretending these are real people..lol. Stockholm syndrome and 2Ds abusive past with him is certainly not wholesome. What IS wholesome (to me) is people changing for the better, redemption , and forgiveness. Especially to those not deserving. I'm not saying Murdoc has earned or deserves this chance, but their relationship has significantly changed, even before this video, in two major ways. 1. Murdoc left the band and 2D realized how happy he was without him. This revelation was significant enough that I don't think its temporary (his eyes being permanently white now sort of imply this). They made an entire album without him and 2D flourished. he even wrote a song about it (humility) 2. Murdoc now realizes he is not irreplaceable and that his behavior can leave him alienated from the band. He knows that they can happily have success without him.
      This has changed their dynamic enormously. 2D is no longer a defenseless punching bag and Murdoc now faces consequences for his actions.
      To me, the fact that Murdoc is trying, and that 2D is a pure enough person that he can give him another chance is complicated for sure, but its also very wholesome.
