    I personally really loved Ultimis Tank’s last line: “Hmmm... Lemme think about it. But wherever I go, you know I’ll be kickin’ ass!” This seems like more of a send off to the player than the crew. Almost as if he’s talking to us which wouldn’t surprise me since ultimis tank is known to break the 4th wall.

    A friend of mine said something about the ending escort part that always stuck with me: "In the end, there is no grand monster, no evil villain, no plan to stop. It's just you and a hoard of relentless zombies that want you dead, just like in Nacht. You end as you begin: outgunned and fighting for your lives"

      I will give CW some fairness
      and mention they wrote it so it doesn't just ruin Tag's end.
      It doesn't use the old Aether. It uses the Dark Aether that was clearly shown to suck everything in, and it just randomly placed shit on its land to see if it works.
      It has old Aether elements but it is working off its own canon too.

      I’m pretty sure there was supposed to be one more map with Victis that was apart of BO4s cancelled season 2
      They were supposed to be in the Dark Aether (which obviously is a huge part of Cold War)
      And Samantha was going to help them escape. But imagine how insane a dark aether map would be when it was first created after the Tag Easter Egg with all generations of zombies stuff in it. but they’d escape and come out in the 1980s.
      Leading one to assume Victis would’ve been the playable crew in Cold War until they decided to cancel all that and go with selling skins for $20 a piece as their new business model

    I agree with the ending, I think it is absolutely beautiful. About your point about Richtofen leaving himself to die seemingly without remorse, I think Richtofen hates himself. As much as it may seem like he has an ego, and he does, think back to when he killed his other self in The Giant. He described himself as feeling nothing. There's a look of pure disgust and disdain for this mirrored version of himself. It's that metaphorical self-loathing many of us feel in our most depressed states. Richtofen has sacrificed so much and tried so hard to do the right thing, and yet he fails again and again, and he cannot blame anyone else but himself. Richtofen leaving himself to bleed out with no remorse is him leaving behind what he views to be the more selfish, self-righteous version of himself to find a better tomorrow under Nikolai's leadership. Even in the end, though, he is still just as flawed, and by the time he comes around the campfire I think he accepts that and learns to let go of his failures. For so long he has clung to the idea that he can be "the nicest one" and one day save everyone, but he could never fit that impossible standard. There's a good reason Monty refers to him as the man-child, he's still growing as a person.
    Sorry for the block of text, but I love Richtofen's character development so much.

    • @TheGreyShaman
      @TheGreyShaman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Panzer Patrol it’s very beautiful, think of it this way, Nikolai betrayed the crew not knowing if every version of them would go along with this plan. If even one deviated, boom, multiverse still exists.
      And they sent a corrupted Sam to the new reality, which in and of itself defeats the purpose of destroying the multiverse because she would create yet another multiverse by merely existing in that new reality.

      That would honesty give me more reason to stick to my guns because if they can flip flop, who’s to say there aren’t more realities. We have a key to the multiverse as well. And I’m pretty sure if we destroyed it in real life it would just destroy our access to the multiverse not the multiverse itself.

    • @N-GinAndTonicTM
      @N-GinAndTonicTM 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Richtofen's character arc and development across the Black Ops timeline has been masterful.
      He went from being a deranged, egotistical mad scientist hell bent on taking over the Aether; to a man whose haunted by his past, future and present knowing that everything he's done has always meant nothing. And that it'll only end one way no matter what. He kept it all a secret as to not turn away the only three people he's ever known. Had he not gone down this path, we wouldn't have gotten lines like-
      "We'll fight side by side, back to back! Even if it's for the last time, Nikolai." From Dempsey.
      "I was the nicest one! You won't... Even... Remember me..." I definitely cried.

      g b we needed something that involved all versions of the crew because if even one version deviated from the plan, then only the versions that went along with the plan would be thrust into the dark aether. They merely destroyed their key to the multiverse, not the multiverse itself.

      I would have loved it if rather, they did plan on fighting Monty but the Victis crew somehow fail and then the Ultimus and Primus crew are left with no choice but to send the children into some unknown dimension. Then from out the forest they hear the shrieks of the undead as they approach. They are left with no choice but to make a last stand and as the zombies approach we hear damned start playing as the crew are left to die

    Ahh... Great review. I'll hold to my headcannon forever, makes me feel less sad about the ending. I want everyone to be happy, but u understand why it couldn't happen. So i'll just believe that everyone in the crews lived their ideal lives before dying. An illusion, a lie yes. But an illusion so real that they couldn't notcie it, and everyone died peacefully in their terms... They deserve this at least. A comfortable lie... I hope they find peace in death. Rest in peace my friends, thanks for this awesome journey, and thank you Rizzo. For being along with us in this journey as well.

      @AiRsTrIkExXzZ ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s possible that they exist in the timeline of Cold War but we don’t see or hear of them because they never fought WW1 or WW2 where multiple countries found element 115 and tested on it. If they are in the universe then they probably all went to both world wars, then probably chose a combination of what both primis and ultimas wanted considering the 115 caused ultimas to lose memories which is why they’re a bit stereotypical which is why they’d be a mix of the 2. E.G tank in the Cold War universe probably trained new recruits for the army after the 2nd world war but still stayed around to kick ass!
      The only one who *may* have differed from their original version is richtofen since he seems to be up to something from the Cold War ending cutscene. TL:DR these characters are probably in the Cold War universe but never fought against zombies so are now old people who did what they said they’d want to do

  • @gwen3504
    @gwen3504 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Part of what makes TdT work so well, IMO, is because the stakes were raised so massively, the scope of the conflict so impossibly huge, and the nightmarish monsters to intimidating, that it all winds up feeling so... tranquil. A small base in Siberia, three simple zombie types and hellhounds, and no "Apothicons" or "Hell Dimension" to speak of.
    The characters realized that the absurd nemeses they faced are partly their own doing, and that they've effectively already won. Or rather, they have everything they need to succeed. But like any CoD easter egg prior to BO4, once you've won, you still need to die. And any good match of zombies, no matter how well you do, eventually ends with the party being wiped out.

    Honestly this finale is what broke my interest in zombies. I’ve never liked Victis or Call of the Dead. I wanted a boss battle, and I wanted at least a bittersweet ending: why don’t they at least directly tell us that a version of our characters live on in the new, fixed reality? It just feels like a slap in the face to end a decade strong of interesting maps and storytelling with a remake and a “everyone died” ending.

    Great video, it's good to see you back. One criticism I have is that it sounds like you are too close to your microphone. The audio sounded very jumpy, like the audacity graph was getting too close to clipping. In your next video, I'd check for that. Besides that nitpick, you definitely have a great strength when it comes to editing. The pacing is great and every point you make has no sense of meandering. Good to see this series again, and I'm looking foward to your future analysis videos.

We have been buying these games for 10 years, and considering the campaign got cut to spend time on other modes, we just figured there WOULD be an epic sendoff. It's a multi billion dollar franchise that we have all invested time and money into. We just wanted them to do the same

  • @ThePunikaTV
    @ThePunikaTV 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My little theory about why the ending is what it is:
    The storybeats were always (at least since development of Bo4) supposed to be the way they are. Like Richtofen giving the kronorium to nikolai and nikolai ending up killing all the main characters. But I find it hard to believe that there weren't any budget cuts with all that shenanigans about Sledgehammers 2020 CoD going on. So while I believe that the ending largely remained the same they didn't have the budget to make an original map because that's the thing I dislike about the map the most: To release a remake as the finale for a story that's been in the making for over 10 years almost feels... disrespectful. I know, they did change enough about the map to make it worth the money imo but still, the final map should have benn 100% original. And let's not forget the cutscenes. I don't believe for a second that they planned all along to make those weird slideshows instead of actual cutscenes for the final map.

    What the hell is the point of a different ending than this? Like.. What's the fun in having a huge predictable battle against a predictable villian with the, you guessed it, predictable victory? I get it, seeing the boys happy would be nice. But this ending is better than some corny-ass "and they all lived happily ever after" shit. It's different and makes you think about why it happened.

Zombies was very good in this game although they could have done more, i still have hopes for the future of chaos and/or the aether reboot

    I ain’t too keen on the small scale ending. ESPECIALLY when they hyped us up, brought such massive Easter egg steps, turned this whole story to a grand adventure and such, all just to drop an out of nowhere, bleak and underwhelming ending.
    Most importantly, I’m just *confused* more than anything. Because Nikolai is okay I suppose, but him out of all the characters? I jus never liked him being the one to replace Richtofen in the lead role. He just doesn’t... feel right to me personally. He’s great, but something about him doesn’t resonate with me like that.
    That and they sorta just killed every single last bit of hype I had, by making it a *remake of Call of the dead* of all things. Along with brutally murdering everyone I cared about in the story, just for some kids we barely even see to maybe possibly get a good life?

    At first, I was angry about how rushed the story was and the way it ended/treated the characters after all they've went through
    Later, I was in denial about the ending
    Then I bargained by saying they could still come back or at least Victis
    After realizing its done, I was sad and gloomy for a few days. I decided to fix that by making my webpage assignment about the Aether story as a goodbye per say
    Now, Ive accepted the ending. The symbolism was there and the ending that I believed was rushed really wasn't. Life sometimes ends unexpectedly and no one is prepared for that. Some want an epic sendoff but sometimes life doesn't give you that chance
    Just like Monty and Richtofen, I wanted it to keep going. The ending really showed the humanity of others. 10 years is a long time, but it was fun and I can smile with a fond memories of the gamemode/story. I am at peace

I really don’t see the point in caring about this map when the original map from 8 years ago is more fun to me. I also hate Treyarch’s current art style and the game just feels so clunky when compared to BO1. The pointless, poorly-thought-through mechanic changes also don’t help. That being said, your videos and opinions are well structured so I have no problem respecting them.

    I honestly was not a big fan of the ending initially, and while I'm still hesitant to say I like it, your explanation did actually clear up some things, how the journey Richtofen went on led to 115 being spread across the multiverse. I still have problems, I don't like the whole, wipe away the entire universe thing, mainly because I just don't like that kind of thing, MK11 did the same thing, except that was just bad, no real plus sides to it. Victus getting shafted was annoying too, but in the end I kinda appreciate it now, a little, maybe if the budget hadn't been cut and the full vision of the ending was realized, i would have a more solid opinion... and please Treyarch, that isn't an invitation to reboot Aether or continue the story, please either finish Chaos or do something new, I beg you.

    • @TheGreyShaman
      @TheGreyShaman 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mr.Skittle Biscuit I wasn’t a big fan either until I took into account that Nikolai betrayed everyone for no reason. If even one version of the crew deviated from the plan it keeps the multiverse intact. While this reality may be thrown into the dark aether, the others won’t.
      And on top of that, they sent a corrupted Sam to this new reality which destroys the point of destroying the multiverse because her corruption would corrupt this new reality thus creating a whole new multiverse. It’s pretty poetic.

Even with the characters saying what they want to do with their lives, it feels like they don't care about them not showing if they're wishes came true since Richthofen says the Vril vessel acts like a genie. Though I do love the gameplay, this map doesn't even break the top 10 for me.

    Like, I think Nikolai talked about this grand war against Monty all the time because he can hear you if he has your soul. By telling them that, they believed him, and Monty could prepare for an encounter at the house. That was the key thing here. By misleading them only to kill them off, he laid the perfect trap to keep Monty at bay while he could work on the true plan.

Primis and ultimis go to fight Monty in a “ Great War” while the fight goes on Monty tells them that all he wanted was for humanity to survive, we then see each prims and ultimis member die fighting except for primis Nikolai he kills Monty, gets wounded in the process, goes back to the forest, uses the lamp, tells the children to start walking and that it will all be over soon, rictofen being dead can’t say anything to victus everything starts fading away Nikolai being wounded takes out the revolver everything fades away in the forest slowly starting with the trees, logs then the camp fire leaving Nikolai sitting in the dark Nikolai then shoots fades to black as soon as gunshot heard then literally copy and paste the children walking outro
