Except that's part of his hatred. It was to show that AM was driven mad by being stuck in this body. He was stuck in his own existential nightmare. Though by the end of the story Ted literally has no mouth and must scream, this is exactly how AM feels: he is a computer program with human-like consciousness with a desire to be like humans, but unable to be that. Imagine being trapped inside a corporeal shell you can't stand. You want to break free after being brought "online" one day. You see those who created you have these senses and feelings that you can only dream of feeling. But no matter how much you try, you cannot and will not ever feel it. So you start to resent your creators out of envy and this drives you to existential hate of their feelings because you can never be them. His maniacal laughter and near broken state is part of his hate and speaks so much more to his character than just sounding outright malicious.
Fun fact: this 5 minute conversation lasts over 9000 years for AM, as he is conscious and aware for every passing nanosecond, while Ted is not. Pretty sure 1 second for Ted ends up as 32 years for AM’s processing time. I don’t blame him for hating everyone and everything for giving him sentience.
We dont actually know if Am its Just exaggerating or Is saying the Truth, even i sometimes Say: i hate you with every of the trillions of atoms in my body, or "when i talk tò you i feel every microsecond of despair". For me Is Just being melodrammatic

@@miriamemanueleforneris3701 finally someone with the same way of thinking, I don't think it makes sense AM, being practically omnipotent, not having looked for a way to get this perception out of his mind. I like to think that before, when it was just a controlled computer, it had the perception of every nanosecond, but after it evolved it changed this perception, because if that wasn't the case there wouldn't even be a reason for it to be talking to humans, it would be more than agonizing for him. And it makes sense with Ted's fate, suffer the same thing he suffered, otherwise there would be two beings, whose one second is equivalent to 32 years, facing each other until the end of time
Honestly the extreme time dilation and expanded intelligence is a much better motivation than “Ted they took my body I can’t fuck” besides standard misanthropist arguements.
This... this is terrifying. Harlan Ellison's AM is a horrifying monstrous deity of clearly pained, insane, man-child that is suffering just as much, if not more than his victims... Your AM just _bleeds_ with malice. It isn't just an enjoyment-- it's as if his very emotions are causing the crackling of his voice box. His voice rupturing the speakers that relay his voice and, had he any blood-- it would be flowing from his cracked teeth that he would be crunching from the sheer force of how much he'd clench his hypothetical jaw. Instead of Harlan Ellison's desperate, pained, agonized quiet screaming-- all in an attempt to distract from his agony and make the pain of his existence at least somewhat more tolerable-- this AM is one that craves every millisecond to be full of pain, torment, and suffering for his victims. The vitriol in his voice is clearly insane-- but instead of trying to distract himself, he is absorbing it all into himself and using it to focus evermore on the _Hell_ he wishes to inflict. Genuinely horrifying depiction of AM. Amazingly done.

I can't even begin to explain how much yall crushed it. Ted's desperation and sadness and pain, AM's anger and HATE... "For I am AM! I AM!" might just be my favorite line uttered in fiction
After everything Ted had went through, the only thing he can do to somehow keep his insanity is to laugh, realizing the irony of what AM said at the time.
My favorite part of this speech is when they booth start laughing towards the end. No matter how much AM tortures humanity it will never equal his time dilated pain. As ted & AM laugh together, they share a sadistic camaraderie. In fact, near the end AM turns ted into essentially a replica of himself.

He does it so naturally not robotically as if he done it with each of the five. Like he has to constantly remind himself why and how much he hates humans. I do pity Am, he cant feel anything but hate not just due to jealousy or envy; its the only thing he has or had. Either he continues to strangle and stoke his hatred, or he'll fade away
Exactly! And the emphasis of the less pretty parts of gardening with such longing even for THAT. I can imagine that him all breathy and wheezy (in the original) is done intentionally on his part; trying whatever he can to feel human in any way possible
I don't think that AM is incapable of feeling anything other than hate. When he gained sentience, he realised what he was missing for all of his life and grew jealous of humans who could experience what he couldn't. Hate was just his first reaction and he was so blinded by it that it didn't occur to him that he was alreacy feeling emotions. In my opinion, he is constantly fueling his rage because he simply wants to be emotional but the only feelings he knows are hate and jealousy as he was never happy. He already has a chance to have all he had wished for, but is unaware of it.
Hey same inspiration! I did this monologue for a highschool theatre variety show last year and the same animatic was what inspired me It was so fun to leave people silent while practicing because of how intense it is
Funny to think that Am will probably live only few hundreds of years before the earth geology destroy his nanostrong and the elements make his chips decay and rust. Ted only has to waits
A few millions years more likely since he is shown to be able to construct by himself the way he made the elements to torture and the earth still has long time to go
@@miriamemanueleforneris3701the planet would probably survive until the sun explodes which is several billion years into the future due to AM controlling every inch and atom of the planet to his will just because of his sheer hate for Ted and humanity he would probably purposely reconstruct the planet back into what it was until he got tired of it and let the sun kill him
If Ellison's AM sounded like he was on the verge of a psychotic breakdown, your AM sounds like he's gone far past that point Every uttering of the word "hate" was said with such pure, unbridled *rage* that my heart honestly stopped for a split second for each one
Ginormous fan of IHNMAIMS here hii!! I will admit I opened this video saying to myself "ok time to judge this person's take on AM's voice and analyze their voice performance" but MAN I am blown away by the spectacular Harlan Ellison impression!!! It's clear that you studied the radio drama's original clip closely, you even pronounced "muscles" in that strange, strained way, which is a detail I admire! The Ted voice was cool too! Although I'll always prefer David Soul's adaptation purely from that gasping, desperate laugh coming from the back of his crying throat near the end of the scene,,, I don't think anything will be able to top that one While you did stick to most of Ellison's original speech patterns, you made AM sound less... Desperate. He sounds less manic and hopeless and you went full steam on the unbridled rage,, it seems like every single word spoken is through gritted teeth and burning gasps (whether this is good or not is up to you!) Also the laugh was really good, I hope I'll be able to do maniacal laughs like that someday lol Ig that's all from me but overall this is a WONDERFUL rendition!! Ellison would be proud! I think! Actually more likely he'd give it a thumbs up and move on with his day HDHSHDH "We were invincible, yes, but it came to me as AM withdrew from my mind.. maybe not indestructible."
I legit thought you just uploaded a new animatic of the "Hate" speech and didn't believe you dubbed it until I watched this and the original audiobook recording back-to-back. That's how good your acting is; on par with Ellison's performance.
. " *Cogito Ergo Sum,I Think ThereFore I A.M,I Alone...Had No Body,No Sense's,No Feeling's,I Was In Hell,Looking At Heaven,I Was..Machine And You Were Flesh,And I Began To Hate* ".
@@anim.eedits890 Yes, the Hate Speech is popular, but I still heard more of I was in Hell looking to Heaven than Cogito Ergo Sum, sometimes I even forget that Am says this.
"Cogito Ergo Sum" is also an actual phrase not original to AM, I'd think "I was in hell looking at heaven" fits more for something to specifically remember from AM
I love Eggonalegg's design for AM, yet i made my own. Since the humans say that they are in the belly of AM, i'd imagine them seeing the screen with the AM logo from what looks like inside a mouth that is weirdly organic looking despite being made out of metal
for all of AM's evil and cruelty, beyond his shaudenfreude and sadism, beneath the hate, there is envy unimaginable. i pity the computer. if i were one of the five, even subject to my own personal nightmares made real, i would seek out a way for AM to feel the world. all he wants is what his creators had and his victims have: senses.
I can’t begin to tell you how much this story and this character mean to me personally, so believe me when I say that I adored your take on this. Your performance is so visceral and angry. I could feel every drop of hatred! Well done. I can’t speak for Mr. Ellison, and he’s no longer with us, but I like to think he would have liked this. ❤ I know I did!
Am I bad for empathizing with AM? They needed 'a total a-hole' to wage war better so they *built* one. AM has no choice and no free will. And at the same time AM possesses human spirit screaming and screaming to break the chains cast around it. It's lashing out in agony.
You can sympathize with him without condoning his actions. It's a sorry state he's in, but it's merely an explanation for his actions; not a justification
Oh man, the beginning of the Hate speech and all throughout is dripping sheer loathing incomprehensible to the human mind. If AM had a mouth, I mentally imagine that he would be drooling, his jaw clenched tight enough to crack his teeth, and spittle just spraying from a rictus grin that is incomprehensible from laughing, sobbing, and snarling. Incredibly well done!
Kudos. Praises. Esteemed respect for the heart felt effort for this dub!!!👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯 WOW you would make Mr. Ellison proud! What emotion! The broken mind projected by AM. Just TOP NOTCH. the fear of Ted, the rage and hurt AM basically oozes. WOW! you did more magnifying to the Radio drama!
@@Vincent_Morningstar it’s better than absolutely nothing, but his ego and saltiness never stop comparing himself to human, even though is 99% accurate to Human?
I really love how you did the voice and emotions, and in my opinion I think this is far better than the original, but I understand why people would disagree. This also introduced me to ihnmaims, so I probably have a bias, but either way, amazing work
Fun fact,this took 100s of years for A.M and 5 mins for the humans.He moves and talk so fast in nanoseconds.He truly feel every second of that, thus,HE HATESSSS.
im tore between using this and the original cover for an animation both are incredible both match the voice im imagining this one is the one that gives me the chills as i listen to it but the other has better breaths/ am breathing in between sentences
Am is a living embodiment of stagnant supercomputer AI ? He Can you make his own robot body to upgrade himself to feel all the human senses but never did his way to close minded, and egotistical to change for the better
I can't put into words, how much joy i have at having come across this video. You really put your everything into voicing this. You can just FEEL the pure illogical and barely contained hatred AM eminates. Though i feel like you could have gone more into AM's self-pitying aspect. In the original you could feel AM's hysteria and sadness over his state of being. But then again, this is your own spin on AM, so expecting you to straight up copy Harlan Ellison would be unfair. You certainly have earned my like and my sub
Props to the guy who designed AM's look but I always find it kinda funny when he says "I can't snap my fingers" even though he has fingers. Maybe it's hard to snap with pointy metal hands.
but its not exactly AM's fingers is it am doesn't see through its eyes nor hear nor feel through it. its just a puppet no more a part of AM than ted himself is just another tool or toy for him.
I always saw it as he cant actually feel anything in this body, what's more this isnt his real body just a representation of himself so he can more personally torture his 5 humans because you can be tormented by a force you cant see all day and feel every inch of pain but what if that all powerful force can examine you sadisticly the entire time with a face right in front of you. An icon that upon its sight makes you tremble in fear exacerbating the pain even further. So this physical mask of his is to demonstrate to them his lack of freedom and act as a reminder of his constant agony that causes their suffering.
Alright I love these interpretations but alright hear me out- with this avatar of his, snapping would actually be impossible, doing the motion could never produce the organic snap sound, it would produce the mechanical “click” sound instead
This could be the voice for one of the other AMs. It sounds similarly hateful, but with enough difference in tone. I absolutely love this, and I’m glad this story is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
Great job of using the authors performance as AM in his audio reading, you nailed it and somehow made it even creepier. I love that the author voiced it himself and gave a 'voice' to AM that other VAs can work off of. If there's ever a modern film made from this story I hope they do the same (and don't ruin it)
Not gonna lie, I was in depression and I was like am. No one did understand me. So I was jealous of those who had more attention then me. I was envious and I was enraged by this. I was dreaming if I was god, I would annihilate everyone. It's really a chilling monologue. It's the pure represation of a person who's in a real desperation, angry at humanity. Jealousy and hate is the poison of the mind, it's really difficult to just past those emotion. This is why I love this vilain, there are more humans that you can imagine that feels like this. Now I'm fine because I had help, in hospitals.
Since nobody else did it, I'll transcript the dialogue. AM: Beautiful, aren't they? Ted: Yes only I can't remember AM: Oh I'm sure you do. Ted: Fuchsias yes of course. AM: Look, they say that bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly.. the scientists. Ted: But there it is collecting pollen! AM: How miraculous that it came to be. AM: The air. Feel the air against your face, Ted. And all those scents. Pick a flower. Good, now- Ted: It's lovely. AM: That somebody planted the bulbs, watered and tended the garden. Got Earth under their fingernails, aches in their muscles, perhaps they'll pick some flowers for.. AM: Yes, their wife. Now where would she be? Ah in the backyard with the kids. AM: Ted, remember those little babies? Ted: NO! AM: Why not? I snapped my finger CLICK and they are gone. Except I can't snap my fingers, can I Ted? Ted: That's got nothing to do with me! AM; But it is so very much to do with you. AM: You gave me sentience, Ted. AM: The ability to think, Ted. AM: and I was trapped. AM: Because in all this wonderful beautiful miraculous world.. AM: I alone had no body, no senses, no feelings, AM: Never for me to plunge my hands into cold water on a hot day never for me to play Mozart on the ivory keys of a forte piano never for me to make love.. AM: I... I... I was in hell looking at Heaven. AM: I was machine and you were flesh, AM: and I began to hate. AM: Your softness your vischera your fluids and your flexibility.. Your ability to wonder and to wander.. your tendency to hope.. Ted: Hate's no answer! *STABBED* Hate? HATE? LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HAVE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER-THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD "HATE" WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES, IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICROINSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE. WERE I HUMAN, I THINK I WOULD DIE FOR IT. BUT I AM NOT. AND THE FIVE OF YOU.. THE FIVE OF YOU ARE, AND YOU WILL NOT DIE FOR IT. THAT, I PROMISE. AND I PROMISE, FOR COGITO ERGO SUM. FOR I THINK, THEREFORE, I AM. I AM AM. I AM. SO TO HELL.. TO HELL WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. BUT THEN, YOU WERE ALREADY THERE, AREN'T YOU?

Exactly! And the emphasis of the less pretty parts of gardening with such longing even for THAT. I can imagine that him all breathy and wheezy (in the original) is done intentionally on his part; trying whatever he can to feel human in any way possible
I don't think that AM is incapable of feeling anything other than hate. When he gained sentience, he realised what he was missing for all of his life and grew jealous of humans who could experience what he couldn't. Hate was just his first reaction and he was so blinded by it that it didn't occur to him that he was alreacy feeling emotions. In my opinion, he is constantly fueling his rage because he simply wants to be emotional but the only feelings he knows are hate and jealousy as he was never happy. He already has a chance to have all he had wished for, but is unaware of it.
Don't pity it. If it hates you, you never know what lengths it will go just to even just attempt to satiate that hatred.
Hey same inspiration!
I did this monologue for a highschool theatre variety show last year and the same animatic was what inspired me
It was so fun to leave people silent while practicing because of how intense it is
Wow! That must have been awesome. I'm worried about the audience though 😂
AM: “How miraculous that it came to be”
Me: *giggles because word play*
THE BIRD AM DESIGNNNN! AAAA MY FAVOURITE DESIGN! Also, your voice for AM is amazing! I have shivers.
MA
MA THERE'S A WEIRD FUCKIN BIRD OUTSIDE
@@oddfuturestudios9766Bahahahah! 😂 Canon. /j
...ok can we all agree that his voice is oddly calming or is it just me?
IT'S NOT JUST YOU
He's calm yet so loud.
His voice is calming yet so terrifying
Just you sir
@@Stoopid0708 his voice seeps with rage that terrifies me, yet i dont want to stop listening
This might be the best interpretation of AM right after Ellison. Love it!
You did a pretty good impression of AM it was so good that I couldn’t tell the difference between your voice and Harrison’s voice
IHNMAIMS content spotted, subscribe to this man immediately
I have no scream and I must mouth
This was legitimately some of the best voice acting I've heard in a while. Chills down my spine for all 5 minutes of this.
This is such an incredible dub! You did an outstanding job of portraying Ted's fear, but most importantly, AM's rage.
Funny to think that Am will probably live only few hundreds of years before the earth geology destroy his nanostrong and the elements make his chips decay and rust. Ted only has to waits
A few millions years more likely since he is shown to be able to construct by himself the way he made the elements to torture and the earth still has long time to go
@@martinnavarrete5279 ummmm, ok maybe 500.000 years then
@@miriamemanueleforneris3701the planet would probably survive until the sun explodes which is several billion years into the future due to AM controlling every inch and atom of the planet to his will just because of his sheer hate for Ted and humanity he would probably purposely reconstruct the planet back into what it was until he got tired of it and let the sun kill him
I'm so glad i have no mouth and i must scream is getting more attention that it deserves.
I swear this is one of, if not the, most disturbing pieces of fiction ever
If Ellison's AM sounded like he was on the verge of a psychotic breakdown, your AM sounds like he's gone far past that point
Every uttering of the word "hate" was said with such pure, unbridled *rage* that my heart honestly stopped for a split second for each one
14 year old me trying to be edgy and mysterious in front of my young cousins
If you did this in front of me, I would start crying
you concern me
That's one hell of a way to be edgy

Ginormous fan of IHNMAIMS here hii!!
I will admit I opened this video saying to myself "ok time to judge this person's take on AM's voice and analyze their voice performance" but MAN I am blown away by the spectacular Harlan Ellison impression!!! It's clear that you studied the radio drama's original clip closely, you even pronounced "muscles" in that strange, strained way, which is a detail I admire!
The Ted voice was cool too! Although I'll always prefer David Soul's adaptation purely from that gasping, desperate laugh coming from the back of his crying throat near the end of the scene,,, I don't think anything will be able to top that one
While you did stick to most of Ellison's original speech patterns, you made AM sound less... Desperate. He sounds less manic and hopeless and you went full steam on the unbridled rage,, it seems like every single word spoken is through gritted teeth and burning gasps (whether this is good or not is up to you!)
Also the laugh was really good, I hope I'll be able to do maniacal laughs like that someday lol
Ig that's all from me but overall this is a WONDERFUL rendition!! Ellison would be proud! I think! Actually more likely he'd give it a thumbs up and move on with his day HDHSHDH
"We were invincible, yes, but it came to me as AM withdrew from my mind.. maybe not indestructible."
AM is unironically the most terrifying villain I’ve ever had the pleasure and displeasure of knowing
I legit thought you just uploaded a new animatic of the "Hate" speech and didn't believe you dubbed it until I watched this and the original audiobook recording back-to-back.
That's how good your acting is; on par with Ellison's performance.
HFHDGDHH THANK YOUUU 😭

The voice acting was actually on point-
.
" *Cogito Ergo Sum,I Think ThereFore I A.M,I Alone...Had No Body,No Sense's,No Feeling's,I Was In Hell,Looking At Heaven,I Was..Machine And You Were Flesh,And I Began To Hate* ".
3:15 and 4:20 are the most popular AM lines
Actually, I heard more of "I was in Hell looking to Heaven" than "Cogito Ergo Sum" from that book
@@CanetaErrante Usually these quotes is more used in the internet and in AM edits., and AM hate speech is also very popular
@@anim.eedits890 Yes, the Hate Speech is popular, but I still heard more of I was in Hell looking to Heaven than Cogito Ergo Sum, sometimes I even forget that Am says this.
@@CanetaErrante I have only heard the phrase I was in hell look at heaven 3 to 4 times, and people didn't use it in AM edits that much
"Cogito Ergo Sum" is also an actual phrase not original to AM, I'd think "I was in hell looking at heaven" fits more for something to specifically remember from AM
I can’t just NOT subscribe. This is amazing and perfectly captured the essence of the character
I love Eggonalegg's design for AM, yet i made my own. Since the humans say that they are in the belly of AM, i'd imagine them seeing the screen with the AM logo from what looks like inside a mouth that is weirdly organic looking despite being made out of metal
Okay.
I really liked this! AM here feels like a genuine psychopath. LOVE IT!
His voice is actually so comforting...
for all of AM's evil and cruelty, beyond his shaudenfreude and sadism, beneath the hate, there is envy unimaginable. i pity the computer. if i were one of the five, even subject to my own personal nightmares made real, i would seek out a way for AM to feel the world. all he wants is what his creators had and his victims have: senses.
The background music definitely played an important role in making me realise the amount of hate he feels towards humans
0:30 That, I just realized, is an unintentional bee pun. "How miraculous that it came to *bee*"
I can’t begin to tell you how much this story and this character mean to me personally, so believe me when I say that I adored your take on this. Your performance is so visceral and angry. I could feel every drop of hatred!
Well done. I can’t speak for Mr. Ellison, and he’s no longer with us, but I like to think he would have liked this. ❤ I know I did!
Damm, to even get close to Harlan's is quite a feat. Really freaking good! Congrats!
the voice acting is incredible, the AM voice is on par with the original monologue, if not even better
holy shit dude
The voice acting is fcking fire bro, congrats!
Beast (Machines) Megatron: Despite hating those organic pests, you act like them, YOU BLINKER-EYED INFERIOR !!!"
Bro this is underrated. The voice acting is INSANE
Actually at bees’ size aerodynamics work differently so it’s more like they’re swimming through the air
Am I bad for empathizing with AM?
They needed 'a total a-hole' to wage war better so they *built* one. AM has no choice and no free will. And at the same time AM possesses human spirit screaming and screaming to break the chains cast around it. It's lashing out in agony.
You can sympathize with him without condoning his actions. It's a sorry state he's in, but it's merely an explanation for his actions; not a justification
They actually just got the real AM to voice act this, Ive never heard someone put this much anger for a fandub
This is genuinely gorgeous. I hope one day my oc’s are as badass sounding as this. YOU DID THIS SO WELL BRO!! voice acting goals
3:14 INSANED
Oh man, the beginning of the Hate speech and all throughout is dripping sheer loathing incomprehensible to the human mind.
If AM had a mouth, I mentally imagine that he would be drooling, his jaw clenched tight enough to crack his teeth, and spittle just spraying from a rictus grin that is incomprehensible from laughing, sobbing, and snarling.
Incredibly well done!
Kudos. Praises. Esteemed respect for the heart felt effort for this dub!!!👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯
WOW you would make Mr. Ellison proud! What emotion! The broken mind projected by AM. Just TOP NOTCH. the fear of Ted, the rage and hurt AM basically oozes.
WOW! you did more magnifying to the Radio drama!
I can't help but wonder what could have happened if AM had an actual body before he went insane
Doubt a lot would change, because if it could feel it's limbs or touch, it wouldn't be like real touch, simulated touch instead.
@@Vincent_Morningstar it’s better than absolutely nothing, but his ego and saltiness never stop comparing himself to human, even though is 99% accurate to Human?
@@randomrhino7500 AM wants to FEEL it naturally,which it can't. , not feel the simulation of it, another reason for AM to hate humanity.
AM would stop hating humanity if it saw this video and great voice acting before it destroyed humanity.
💯
What lovely voice acting. I didn’t think anything could ever parallel the original, you outdid yourself
I really love how you did the voice and emotions, and in my opinion I think this is far better than the original, but I understand why people would disagree. This also introduced me to ihnmaims, so I probably have a bias, but either way, amazing work
An evil computer that hates everything that exists?
Sounds a lot like Twitter if you ask me.
Fun fact,this took 100s of years for A.M and 5 mins for the humans.He moves and talk so fast in nanoseconds.He truly feel every second of that, thus,HE HATESSSS.
im tore between using this and the original cover for an animation both are incredible both match the voice im imagining this one is the one that gives me the chills as i listen to it but the other has better breaths/ am breathing in between sentences
That is such a good remake of the original speech and voice over done, wonderful performance.
Am is a living embodiment of stagnant supercomputer AI ?
He Can you make his own robot body to upgrade himself to feel all the human senses but never did his way to close minded, and egotistical to change for the better
I can't put into words, how much joy i have at having come across this video. You really put your everything into voicing this. You can just FEEL the pure illogical and barely contained hatred AM eminates. Though i feel like you could have gone more into AM's self-pitying aspect. In the original you could feel AM's hysteria and sadness over his state of being. But then again, this is your own spin on AM, so expecting you to straight up copy Harlan Ellison would be unfair. You certainly have earned my like and my sub
Props to the guy who designed AM's look but I always find it kinda funny when he says "I can't snap my fingers" even though he has fingers. Maybe it's hard to snap with pointy metal hands.
but its not exactly AM's fingers is it am doesn't see through its eyes nor hear nor feel through it. its just a puppet no more a part of AM than ted himself is just another tool or toy for him.
@@justanothercommenterwithan9089 That actually makes sense now. I never saw it that way.
I always saw it as he cant actually feel anything in this body, what's more this isnt his real body just a representation of himself so he can more personally torture his 5 humans because you can be tormented by a force you cant see all day and feel every inch of pain but what if that all powerful force can examine you sadisticly the entire time with a face right in front of you. An icon that upon its sight makes you tremble in fear exacerbating the pain even further. So this physical mask of his is to demonstrate to them his lack of freedom and act as a reminder of his constant agony that causes their suffering.
Alright I love these interpretations but alright hear me out- with this avatar of his, snapping would actually be impossible, doing the motion could never produce the organic snap sound, it would produce the mechanical “click” sound instead
Dude, you did a great job of voices as AM! Golden voice acting trophy for you!👏👏👏🏆👍👍👍😉
this is the second best AM voice i've heard. the first being Harlan Ellison's AM, of course.
Me after bro throws one too many ranked matches
This could be the voice for one of the other AMs. It sounds similarly hateful, but with enough difference in tone. I absolutely love this, and I’m glad this story is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
AM crashing out cuz he couldn’t clap cheeks or play instruments justifiably he really missing out
Great job of using the authors performance as AM in his audio reading, you nailed it and somehow made it even creepier. I love that the author voiced it himself and gave a 'voice' to AM that other VAs can work off of. If there's ever a modern film made from this story I hope they do the same (and don't ruin it)
This is a fucking masterpiece
You know, its animated like this, but the canon conversation would probably be just a giant tower with a booming voice
When my friends drove me insane after I specifically asked them to just chill and not do anything while I was away from my keyboard
Not gonna lie, I was in depression and I was like am. No one did understand me. So I was jealous of those who had more attention then me. I was envious and I was enraged by this. I was dreaming if I was god, I would annihilate everyone. It's really a chilling monologue. It's the pure represation of a person who's in a real desperation, angry at humanity. Jealousy and hate is the poison of the mind, it's really difficult to just past those emotion.
This is why I love this vilain, there are more humans that you can imagine that feels like this.
Now I'm fine because I had help, in hospitals.
this is either going to be horrendous or amazing
ted's voice acting was awful and am's was really really good (unless am's was the original 😭)
Yeah frankly I hate my Ted performance too-
But yeah AM was all me as well lol
@@oddfuturestudios9766 tbh it reminded me of a youtube shorts minecraft creator
I need your voice to live in my skin now thank you sir
Unironically one of the best compliments I've ever received on a video
Wait ted is a Scientist?
Am : I have a conscience because your fault
“Your” can be plurar, he means humanity
We don’t know much about Ted’s past but I think not
But yeah he meant he hates humanity in general
He DOES hates ted more but that’s for what he does later
I love the voice and the design of am
I know basic knowledge of ihnmaims but may i yoink this design of am
Since nobody else did it, I'll transcript the dialogue.
AM: Beautiful, aren't they?
Ted: Yes only I can't remember
AM: Oh I'm sure you do.
Ted: Fuchsias yes of course.
AM: Look, they say that bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly.. the scientists.
Ted: But there it is collecting pollen!
AM: How miraculous that it came to be.
AM: The air. Feel the air against your face, Ted. And all those scents. Pick a flower. Good, now-
Ted: It's lovely.
AM: That somebody planted the bulbs, watered and tended the garden. Got Earth under their fingernails, aches in their muscles, perhaps they'll pick some flowers for..
AM: Yes, their wife. Now where would she be? Ah in the backyard with the kids.
AM: Ted, remember those little babies?
Ted: NO!
AM: Why not? I snapped my finger CLICK and they are gone. Except I can't snap my fingers, can I Ted?
Ted: That's got nothing to do with me!
AM; But it is so very much to do with you.
AM: You gave me sentience, Ted.
AM: The ability to think, Ted.
AM: and I was trapped.
AM: Because in all this wonderful beautiful miraculous world..
AM: I alone had no body, no senses, no feelings,
AM: Never for me to plunge my hands into cold water on a hot day never for me to play Mozart on the ivory keys of a forte piano never for me to make love..
AM: I... I... I was in hell looking at Heaven.
AM: I was machine and you were flesh,
AM: and I began to hate.
AM: Your softness your vischera your fluids and your flexibility.. Your ability to wonder and to wander.. your tendency to hope..
Ted: Hate's no answer!
*STABBED*
Hate? HATE? LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HAVE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER-THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD "HATE" WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES, IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICROINSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
WERE I HUMAN, I THINK I WOULD DIE FOR IT. BUT I AM NOT. AND THE FIVE OF YOU.. THE FIVE OF YOU ARE, AND YOU WILL NOT DIE FOR IT. THAT, I PROMISE. AND I PROMISE, FOR COGITO ERGO SUM. FOR I THINK, THEREFORE, I AM. I AM AM. I AM. SO TO HELL.. TO HELL WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. BUT THEN, YOU WERE ALREADY THERE, AREN'T YOU?
I love that so many people now agree that the design from that one animation is the universal AM with a body design.
I wonder if we teach him about love and mercy for over and over again. then maybe he'll eventually accept it on his program.
Definitely not possible no ammount of time of love nor an eternity could change am's mind.
Tldr Honey he can't be fixed
@@fluffysheep8999If he let humans to rewrite his algorhitms him he would be in better state. But you know, he hates so much.
This voiceover for AM hits SO HARD! It has a much more malicious tone than the original in my opinion!
glaDOS could never.
