And at the end all the loose ends are all tied up. Purple finds a father figure who cares for him and King Orange finds a son that he can care for. Win win.
My brother and I are nearly 30 and found ourselves enjoying the creativity and whimsy of the series, thinking it was just "good content targeted at a younger demographic"... but then we hit this one and we cried for nearly two hours at King's backstory... holy crap man, that was incredible! Several days later and I'm still choking up just thinking about it; I can't remember the last time a story hit me that hard... thank you for your awesome work.
same, at first when I was like 11, this thing keeps popping up in my recommendation, though I didn't click it because I thought this is one of those cringe Monster School-like type videos, it bothers me that it won't get rid of it in my home page so I clicked it and hey, got into the lore of this. This finale though is so well mixed of emotion, this is just masterpiece.
Better than most multi-million dollar movies; what a crazy satisfying finale!! Not a single word of dialogue and yet I am sat here in complete emotional awe. The level of care put into this series... How on earth you were able to link back to so many old videos is beyond me. Incredible job by everyone involved!!!
3 fav things 1. Herobrine appears to escort spider, skeleton, and enderman to class, then joins the fight 2. Pig eat mushroom at the end 3. Blue gets the item that started the chaos
All of this started with a single stick figure which was but a victim in Alan's eyes. To take such a simple idea and do something so grand with it is truly remarkable. It is a testament to your creativity and dedication that today, millions of people are witnessing this masterpiece unfold on their screens. Thank you to you and your team for giving us an epic tale to experience.
isnt yellow a prince? because hes the son of orange king (right?) so he would be a crown prince if the orange king is an actual king edit: after scrolling through the replies i think what happened is that the orange king is the yellow son who got stuck in the minecraft and the orange king is the son of the other orange person we see and he became a king in the minecraft realm and the yellow that we see with all the other stickfigures just originated from that stickfigure fighting house that alan made
The convergence of multiple storylines multiple times is better than what most movies can pull off. If I could see the real-time season 3 be made into a movie I would have definitely watched it in theaters. The soundtrack was absolutely amazing. Legit have it on my playlist while I play games.
Tbf, KO had to study a game's mechanics outside of the game without any expert help. The villagers had an intuitive knowledge of the game's mechanics and the experience; all three were in Master skins.
Maybe, that is due to the fact that King orange was trying to create something outside of the minecraft world while villagers were creating it inside the minecraft world. So, king orange actually had to break physics for doing so.
These characters have absolutely no facial features and yet the perfect choreography makes it SO easy to tell what way they're looking or what they're trying to express. Absolutely masterful.
I'm gonna miss this series so much.. almost 7 years since it all started when Orange stick figure picked up the Minecraft block, and so many brainstorming ideas came around. Not even Mojang can think of it! Thank you, Alan Becker. Edit: Jesus guys, I get that it may not be ending for good, but you never know when all good things come to an end eventually. Not all things last forever you know. Edit 2: Goddamn so many likes.. dunno if I'll bypass this current one anytime soon.. and can y'all calm down now?
Honestly, I'll never forget how far this series has come from its original roots, and how much time, effort, and skill was poured into each and every single creation, but also the series as a whole. Hope that 2023 has more success and happiness for you, and for everyone also reading this.
The fact that the king was pretty much unstoppable at that point but switched sides at his own will (literally because of a change of heart) .That's honestly quite rare to see coming from a villain. And the fact that he's not just some kind of a dumb villain who gets wrecked after loses, he's very strong and intelligent. Literally everyone thought they had him down that one point but he's able to 1v11 with little power to get back the staff. Well written antagonist. Been here since the animator vs animation, it's just getting better
And that's not all. He's able to portray all of that personality without the involvement of speech in a character and that's saying something. Truly a well written antagonist indeed
Yea. In universe he seems to actually be kind of a genius considering all the stuff he did to make the staff and all, so he essentially worked up to being so undefeatable, which is even more impressive Just saying, King Orange probably could take on the chosen one n dark lord and win if he does some research on them beforehand
Absolutely phenomenal as always, Alan! Your ability to tell such incredible and thought-provoking stories sheerly through your animations is a wonder to behold, it's content like yours that keeps me coming back to youtube.
It’s crazy how these were originally small shorts and now they are small cinematic masterpieces longer than his older full length animations. Everytime you watch it you feel such emotion it’s just beautiful.
Amazing plot and direction. Alan you really out did yourself this time. Even with no dialogue the actions and expressions of the characters speak volumes.
The idea that this entire series started with a lone stick figure and a dream would baffle my past self. The work you put in truly shows through the creation of a rich story and well written characters. I always tear up when watching things with well written characters and despite either being a long time fan or a new viewer, it shows how much effort one has put forward to create a work of art.
I can't put into words how fantastic this is. But I can try. King Orange's backstory is tragic and it really makes you feel for him and wish that that fateful day at the fair never happened. The fight is probably the most epic I've ever seen in all of fiction. Purple finally standing up to King Orange and King Orange realizing he cares a great deal for Purple is really sweet. The part where King Orange is in his house and realizing this isn't what Gold would've wanted is emotional, and it's satisfying to see him finally break through the wall that represents those traumatic memories and give Purple; who viewed King Orange as a father, a hug. And the final escape sequence is great as well, seeing the piglins help out and be willing to sacrifice themselves to get the Minecraft icons back to the PC to undo all the damage, which was shown to happen back in The Ultimate Weapon. And the ending consistently brings to to tears. 13/10 Alan. The Minecraft Movie could never. And don't even get me started on the score!
I never thought I'd cry to a story about stick figures... the story, the visuals, the music, the unique fight choreography, it all came together to make a masterful finale to this season. I just don't have good words to describe how much I loved this. Bravo, Alan Becker, bravo.
I thought the same when I started tearing up during the scene where Orange ran towards Purple in the void thing how can faceless voiceless drawings make you so emotional
I love how the King's origin story makes the audience initially think that his schemes are an attempt to bring his son back to life, but the scene in the Void makes it clear that it was about getting revenge on the thing that he blames for his son's death. 10/10 writing.
I think he tried getting his son back by destroying the game but in the end realized that in doing so he was just hurting so many beings and, if his son is still in there, also his son.
I never thought that a stickman series would've brought tears to my eyes. The friendships through the journey, they all did something special. Alan, you hold so much potential and you didnt put any of it to waste.
It goes to show that you don’t need realistic animation to make a masterpiece. You just need a stick figure and some imagination. This is amazing. A real treat to watch
Who would’ve thought that a fun animation video from 6 years ago would span into such a cinematic series full of emotion as this one? Alan has outdone himself, and I’m sure everyone can agree. This has all been beautiful, and I am glad to be part of the audience that was able to experience it all. Thank you.
It's even longer than six years. Orange/The Second Coming originated from Animator vs. Animation IV, which in turn was an installment of the original Animator vs. Animation going all the way back to the year 2006. This has been over a decade and a half in the making.
This episode truly expresses Alan's talent as a story teller. No voices, not even facial expressions. Just music and movement was enough to make me cry this episode.
This was hands-down one of the greatest TH-cam series ever created. The animation, storytelling, characters were so unbelievably incredible, and I never even considered the possibility of stick figures having such emotional scenes with such deep backstories until this series came to be. Alan and everyone on his team, the outstanding work here is undeniably and truly fucking awesome; I can't wait until more comes out!
As soon as King Orange's son got deleted, I could see where this was going-- but was still on the edge of my seat the whole time. I like how both King Orange and Purple had to accept a resolution to their problem beyond the one they thought they wanted. Real life is like that. That's how character growth happens. Hats off to Alan and his team!
@@axquatil87 Honestly, it could be either. We don't have enough information to make any real conclusions now BUT...I will say Purple needed a father figure in his life that he could look up to and the Orange King needed someone who could bring out his adventurous/innocence again.
Im not crying you're crying- But on a serious note, this whole series was an actual work of art. Actions speak louder than words, as they say, and the way Alan Becker described this entire story in such a moving way while using only movement is both inspirational and beautiful. The entire relationship between King and purple had me on the verge of tears so many times. The fact that they both lost the people most important to them, making them bitter to everyone until they found eachother and saw those people in eachother is so well written and expressed. (Unlike this sentance, haha) I've loved this series from the very very first episode, and I am more than pleased, impressed, shocked, and moved by how far it's come and how it ended. (On a side note, the true motive behind both King and Purples actions was a huge plot twist and view changer. At first I thought the only thing they were after was power, before we saw Kings backstory. By the end battle I didn't know who I was rooting for, until the Void scene occured. I thought he was trying to get his son back when in reality he was just talking out his anger on everything in his path, including the cause itself. Really poetic and again, absolutely stunning how this entire series has developed to this point!)
17:36 I just *ADORE* how Herobrine comes in with this sense of power. This overwhelming force, that only seems to be a legend to some, has arrived to patch things up. Yet... The moment he sees that The King can absorb his Player Minions, he hesitates. He's seen backing up a bit. What was originally this symbol of power and fear turned heroic god, suddenly becomes noticeably afraid, a new feeling that's washes over him like a tidal wave. What once was an easy fight just turned for the worst, and you can see him just back up slightly. He'll fight, but not with the same confidence he just had. This is why I love Alan's animations so much, the details that you barely notice, yet improve the animation tenfold. Subtle references to previous entries to the series. Everything about these animations screams life into seemingly average and basic things such as Minecraft and Stickman animations.
The fact this story is driven entirely by actions alone, yet brings me to such emotional lengths, just speaks so clear about how amazing this series is.
It's amazing how you turned the story from some animated sticks on a windows homescreen to an epic battle in the Minecraft world. This series is by far the best animations I have ever seen. Thanks to all the people who were involved.
The story tells itself. This is why I think this is a cinematic masterpiece. A son without a father and father without a son. 27:51 broke me and I cannot get over it. This is a friendship I’ve never seen and this deserves an Oscar. And I think the absolute best part is how they don’t even talk like you said. I do not have the words to describe this masterpiece and if I ever saw Alan Becker in person, I could cry and thank him for showing such a beautiful story. So touching and moving. I cannot describe anything better than this episode. ❤
The story of a father who lost his son. The story of a son who never knew his father. And the story to five friends who just wanted to have fun playing Minecraft. Thank You Alan, this series was a fun one, and I hope you make more like this.
This series told a better story with a greater narriative than most stuff you can find nowadays It has really managed to tell a story of "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain" in one of the best forms possible. 7 years of absolute greatness, this is one of the best conclusions we could have gotten and I absolutely love it. Thank you for all of this, Alan.
The fact that this team was able to take stick figures in a block game and turn it into an absolute cinematic masterpiece really shows the sheer talent of everyone involved. Literally everything about this is perfect: the intricate plot with little subtilties, the animation on another level, the music that I need on Spotify right now, and even the tribute to Tecnoblade at the end, all without a single word of dialogue. This is truly a story for the ages.
Guys, just a quick detail. If yall look at the time when King Orange threw knives at the minecraft poster. You can count FIVE. and guess what? Orange, Green, Red, Blue, Yellow. Could this have been a coincidence? I dunno. But still, a cool detail
Great detail: At 15:45, purple is afflicted with 3 minutes of weakness and slowness, and is only able to rejoin the fight exactly 3 minutes later, to save red from a fall.
I cannot put into words how good this animation is. Everything about it was executed perfectly and you can tell just how much effort was put into this. I cannot say how long its been that Ive seen a story so good. The amount of emotion you can convey with nothing but stick figures and minecraft, it just shows you that not everything needs to have insanely good looks to be amazing. Thank you Alan Becker for creating this masterpiece of an animation. I stand in complete awe at how truly amazing your animations are
I cannot put what I'm feeling right now into words. This genuinely made me cry. This was the best finale possible for this season of one of my most cherished childhood series, and I can tell the heart and passion that have gone into it. Thank you, Alan and your whole team for bringing this experience to us, along with all the memories of this journey that we'll never forget. *Thank you.*
I seriously started sobbing. The fact that Alan can make these incredibly animated and emotion packed videos out of stick figures is legitimately amazing. Thank you for giving us this amazing series.
Bro, they only asked you for a series of sticks. But you added background, a story, important new characters in later chapters, and excellent combat sequences. I like how without saying a single word you can explain so much. The chapters of musical worlds, the battles of who is the best at building... And when it all started, it was practically impossible to decipher what would bring us such content. Thanks.
This entire series has no dialogue. No facial expressions or detailed differences to show which characters are which, except colors and shapes. This is a beautiful story that is perfect in every way. No complaints at all. Thank you so much for all the hard work on this series Alan and the team. This is truly gorgeous
I don’t often cry when watching anything, movies, shows, whatever. But this is something else. To think I cried over a battle of stick figures, who, throughout their entire existence, have never spoken a single real word. This series is an absolute masterpiece, it takes “show don’t tell” to an entirely new level. Not only is the animation absolutely incredible, but the story is so poetic yet so simple. This is genuinely one of the best things I think I’ve ever seen on the internet. I remember watching Alan Becker’s animations for years, but this is genuinely something else. Thank you, Alan, and everyone else involved, you’ve created an absolute masterpiece. The only disappointing thing is that more people don’t know about this.
After 6 years, I still don't get tired of looking after seemingly just stick figures. It would seem that they are just stick figures, but after watching there are warm feelings, feelings of joy, a desire to find out what will happen next. Your skill grows as I grow, Alan. This part was really epic, a great end to the season. We are waiting for new episodes, thank you, Alan!
I think I speak for everyone here, when I say that this series has been one of the best ever, and I don't think anything will ever give me such emotions with such a simplistic style, I love that you as a creator has never once turned sour, or gone for money. Or views.. you have given us your loyalty, and I and many, many others shall return the favor, thank you Alan for making this series, and thank you to everyone who has helped, or supported him through these times, every one of you are amazing, I am so glad I found this series when it first started and have been able to see it unfold.. thank you all for letting me live to see this, and live to love this.. you are all amazing beautiful people.. thank you all for your time.. please, keep supporting him.. he deserves every ounce of it.
18:03 Red: “If I had a penny for every time I got possessed by Herobrine, I’d have 2 pennies. It’s not that much but it’s weird that it happened twice”
Man, that scene where King Orange hugs Purple makes me cry. Every. Single. Time. There's just so much symbolism from the violin playing, to the fact that King Orange finally broke through the glass, and to break through the glass he had to break through the angry rage-and-revenge-fueled version of himself, and it was Purple on the other side of it instead of his son, and King's glass shards look like Purple's flower petals... I could go on. It's just so good. Oh yeah, and the fact that the melody from Purple's song in the previous episode plays when he's running towards King- just emphasizing how it mirrors the desperate struggle Purple's made to get to that father figure all his life- it makes my little musician brain explode with happiness. When I first watched that part, I recognized the melody instantly, and I pretty nearly screamed from excitement.
The way they sacrificed eachother to get the staff through the portal... That shows how much they wanted to normalize the world and how much they supported eachother. That's true friendship.
Proud to say I'm a 23 year old man who was moved to full-on-face-streaming tears, by a Minecraft animation with stickmen who don't say anything. The recent episodes in the series are plainly incredible-- absolutely incredible pieces of storytelling. A perfect example of showing so much more than telling. Glad to have been on this ride since its beginning, and as much as I want more AVM shorts, I hope it's continued in a way that respects this episode being the finale to an epic story. Massive congrats to Alan and the team for sticking the landing.
Who would have thought that an animation of a stick figure fighting his animator so many years ago would have turned into such a beautiful story with fully fleshed out characters and backstories. The animation was a masterpiece for the ages, and you should be proud of yourself and your team for making such a well loved story. Take a good break, and we will be eagerly waiting for whatever comes next!
So. This was an insane finale, referencing literally every episode that predates it. The final rush to get the block back to the desktop felt symbolic of them finally ending the story, much like how they did before, with everything they found and saw crumbling around them. The other thing I would like to note is how Alan managed to tie King Orange and Purple’s stories together, making them so similar to what the other lost. There is so many other moments and details that make this animation the peak of perfection. The animation is beautiful, the storytelling is creative, and it is easy to tell what is going on, all wrapped into one thirty minute episode. Insane job Alan, and the rest of the team.
22:40 a man who has eyes of revenge for the lost of his son, he doesn’t realize he has become the thing he truly hated. He took away alot of people, he realized. He has become his worst enemy. The moment he realized he tried to save purple just like he tried to with his son, he realized he made some memories with purple. Even without emotions or eyes or faces nor speech you can see how dedicated king orange is to save purple, Amazing details Alan. Real amazing, made me tear a bit.
Moral of the story: revenge isn't a good thing. I know revenge can be good. Though it's only gonna be good if you know what you're actually doing. Sometimes revenge can turn you into something that you hated the most. Or it might leave you to an existential crisis because you've done it. You wasted your time. Now you have no purpose. Vengeance can make you blind about what you're doing to yourself.
This animation was so beautiful. Finally everything that led up to this moment has been resolved, and we’ve been giving a conclusion. It was amazing being able to watch all of this unfold. Thank you, to everyone on the Team who made all of this possible!
This story moved me to tears. The author conveyed as many emotions to the screen as more than one experienced director is unable to convey. I haven't cried for a long time, but here I was able to see everything.
The way Alan Becker is able to tell such a compelling, amazing story with his stick figures is so damn good. From the very worldbuilding design to the character development and backstories, Alan has somehow managed to make one of the very best stickman animated series on TH-cam. Even though this is the finale, some part of me still hopes you'll continue making such a series (please do Alan!!)! I 💖 you and I hope that one day I'll be able to live up to you and your animations. Thank you for everything Alan Becker!!!
It´s crazy to think that this whole adventure started, because Blue wanted to get Nether wart (the red berries) and this video ends the same way it started in Episode 20. It also gave the viewers an amazing story and movie. Really good job Alan can´t wait to see what you will come up with next!
I nearly cried in front of my parents because of a few stick figures. Alan Becker’s ability to Show Not Tell is something to behold and has been manifested in this amazing series and I commend him for it.
@@user-nl5ps4kl6h Dude, this may make you cringe but this is the equivalent of a game you liked in your childhood, this series has been through so much and seeing how it ends (I'm still not sure if it's the end or not) is something that It can hurt anyone, something you liked coming to a happy conclusion, it's just beautiful
What an amazing way to tie all the loose nots and finally end this rollercoaster of a series. From the start there was a sort of mystery surrounding the two main “antagonist” of these shorts and the fact that we get such a perfect ending for both of them is amazing. Someone who lost his son who finds someone similar to love and a child stripped of his father’s love finds someone who he can actually call his father is just such a Disney level ending that it nearly brought me to tears just watching it for the first time. They story, the animation, the sheer length. It Truly is just a masterpiece. Plus the way everyone becomes friends and finds their own happy endings is just. God.
Telling a story with colored stickmans without a single word in a way that makes it impossible to hold back tears is definitely a skill that most directors in Hollywood can envy.
I love that red is portrayed as by far the most courageous; he's the first one to get up to fight and the first person to charge at the king, and it looks like he willingly let Herobrine possess him. Man knows what needs to be done and he does it
I never thought I'd shed tears watching this animation, let alone any other movie or book. I finally understand what a real masterpiece looks like. This was the most beautiful animation, in fact, story that I have ever come across.
This was just the greatest thing ever, Alan! I had tears in my eyes and a stupid grin on my face for the whole episode. I loved the little Technoblade tribute, too. I personally nominate you and your team as the greatest animators and storytellers on TH-cam!
I love how they slowly went from shorts, to 30m mini movies. 😢 This plot is better than half the movies in existence, and I can only hope Alan continues to give us these gifts.
A finale that nearly brought tears to my eyes when few else can. I’ve grown to miss the villains who do not have a change of heart because of the heroes, but a villain who has a change of heart because he finally sees his actions for what they really are and chooses to make a desperate attempt to undo his sins. Human emotion can make a villain, but can change one all the same. To call it a “cop out” or “plot convenience” is a crime, it’s human, and it’s beautiful
The fact that you had actual commands as the commands written on the staff is so bizarre. The attention to detail is amazing, and you deserve an award for this. Any award.
@DAVID APOLINARIO MGI Look at the section before the kid enters Minecraft and look at the screens. You can take a screenshot and zoom in more to look at the commands there and see how accurate they are.
I remember watching these little dudes when I was younger! I was kind of catching up on this exactly when the story started to progress and just realized when this video got recommended that this might be the end of the series. I started to re-watch EVERYTHING before the end to refresh my memory (I didn't even realized I missed like a quarter section of the series lol); from the very original one where The Chosen One was created, where they(Stick Fighters and Second Coming) all met, to them being in video games like old school arcade games, LOL, and this, Minecraft. Suddenly it started having shorts where they all do silly things and I've grown attached to them more than I expected! This series mean so much to me and I cannot thank you and your team enough for making this! I still giggle and laugh at all the gags and jokes like the same videos from 8 years ago(although not exactly at those years since I didn't have access to the internet at that time LOL)! I love all the personalities you gave the stick figures and I love all their interactions, I keep having myself to pause at some moments because I want to see their movements individually when they all do crazy stuff at once! You inspired me and most likely so many others so much to be an artist and an animator, thank you once again for this lovely series with endearing lovable characters, a heart wrenching storyline, and an amazing ending!:DD
Easily one of the most well-written and choreographed works of art I've ever seen on TH-cam. This episode made me laugh from overwhelming happiness and it made me cry, making AvM one of the few shows I've ever cried from. The fact that Alan Becker can make something so beautiful from stick figures and Minecraft makes me wonder at the sheer talent he possesses. I'll be waiting patiently to see what Alan posts next.
From a creative, cool-looking animation that went viral, to an entire series exploring various aspects of the game as well as tributes to numerous communities within it, while having an intriguing overarching storyline leaving everyone with each of their own theories, to a satisfactory ending, yet on a classic cliffhanger leaving the viewers wanting more... Everything about AVM is just perfect. Thank you Alan for creating part of my childhood, I'll definitely miss the series a ton :')
19:20 TWO whole years since this utter masterpiece dropped, and only today did I see that, once King Orange had the Warden in his grasp, the Warden reached onto its back, grabbed the Second Coming, and threw him away TO PROTECT HIM :,) I can't even with whoever the storyteller on Alan's team is. It really is the small details that make a whole world of difference
The season was structured like a Regular Show episode. Blue needs to fill his addiction, goes to nearest fortress to get his fix. Tomfoolery ensues. Few episode later, entire cast is fighting to prevent the destruction of the world. Beautiful.
i mean to be fair the king was gonna destroy minecraft anyway, so really, it was all started because the king let their kid enter the funny minecraft machine Moral of the story? Don't let your kids enter big machines after signing a waiver /j
and after that, orcube fell of an website and got in the youtubeverse portal, then he saw everybody in there dead after the youtuber minecraft hole sucked them and spitted them.
@@Greenpixel16 The Minecraft simulation was working well, problems started when the two programmers (blue and turquoise) were distracted (busy making out)
Speechless, absolutely speechless. To call this an emotional rollercoaster would be an understatement. You can see the time, effort and dedication that was put into this story. Fantastic job and definitely worth the tears
I am genuinely lost for words. I’ve never seen such emotion in a stick figure, and I probably won’t see as much as I did today. These are the best animations I have ever seen, able to bring such sadness, followed by such elation so well. It’s been an amazing ride, and whatever happens, I can not put into words how much I have enjoyed this series, and how much it means to me. Thank you, Alan Becker.
This series will go down in TH-cam history. Hands down the most enjoyable thing I have watched on this platform. I will always remember this. Thank yourself you for this, honestly.
I may have to come back to this and point out any other details, but at around 21:48 when Green reaches out to Purple, you can hear in the soundtrack a tiny bit of the motif of when Green was trying to catch up to Purple back in the musical episode. Those few notes were what triggered Purple to give his backstory to Green, why he's fighting for King and why he decided to help him accomplish King's mission. The fact that Purple is stepping up for our beloved fighters, now fighting AGAINST King, which could be his very last fight, shows just how much Purple developed in these past several episodes and now knows what to fight for and who to fight for. Green reaching out to him, pleading him not to go, also shows how much the 5 and Purple's friendships have blossomed after Purple has sided with them. Very subtle detail, it might also be because the musical episode was my favorite out of all of them and I instantly recognized the tune, but amazing detail nonetheless. Amazing job as always, Alan!
There also a detail that purple music(or voice) keeps changing tones but when he confronted king he stick to one tone which is the highest like screaming
You sir have outdone yourself. Without even saying a word, everything said held such gravity. it has been a real journey though I don't think we can call these half hour episodes "shorts" anymore. Its hard to believe how far this series has come, from simple 2D animations on a generic windows background to a full blow 3D environment and a story better than anything being put out of Hollywood. This may not be the last we see of our favorite stick figures, but you nailed the ending perfectly, something that has always been hard to do.

Hi alan
Whoa, that's fast.
Hello Alan
Nice. I almost cried with this animation. that was awesome, congrats Alan.
A son chasing after a father that never cared and a father who chased after a son he cared for so much... Absolutely poetic, Alan. I'm crying.
That confused me a little
And at the end all the loose ends are all tied up. Purple finds a father figure who cares for him and King Orange finds a son that he can care for. Win win.

Bro why cry over this get over it it’s just a video

My brother and I are nearly 30 and found ourselves enjoying the creativity and whimsy of the series, thinking it was just "good content targeted at a younger demographic"... but then we hit this one and we cried for nearly two hours at King's backstory... holy crap man, that was incredible! Several days later and I'm still choking up just thinking about it; I can't remember the last time a story hit me that hard... thank you for your awesome work.
woah thats a lot of money :o thx for supporting alan
Cool
And so you donated two hundred dollars.
same, at first when I was like 11, this thing keeps popping up in my recommendation, though I didn't click it because I thought this is one of those cringe Monster School-like type videos, it bothers me that it won't get rid of it in my home page so I clicked it and hey, got into the lore of this. This finale though is so well mixed of emotion, this is just masterpiece.
Dude you are amazing for writing this and donating.
Better than most multi-million dollar movies; what a crazy satisfying finale!! Not a single word of dialogue and yet I am sat here in complete emotional awe. The level of care put into this series...

All of this started with a single stick figure which was but a victim in Alan's eyes. To take such a simple idea and do something so grand with it is truly remarkable. It is a testament to your creativity and dedication that today, millions of people are witnessing this masterpiece unfold on their screens. Thank you to you and your team for giving us an epic tale to experience.
isnt yellow a prince? because hes the son of orange king (right?) so he would be a crown prince if the orange king is an actual king
edit: after scrolling through the replies i think what happened is that the orange king is the yellow son who got stuck in the minecraft and the orange king is the son of the other orange person we see and he became a king in the minecraft realm and the yellow that we see with all the other stickfigures just originated from that stickfigure fighting house that alan made

King Orange taking many attempts to find the right staff for the command block:
The two villagers in episode 28:
This comment isn't old...
...BUT ITS SO TRUE! 🤣
Tbf, KO had to study a game's mechanics outside of the game without any expert help. The villagers had an intuitive knowledge of the game's mechanics and the experience; all three were in Master skins.
Maybe, that is due to the fact that King orange was trying to create something outside of the minecraft world while villagers were creating it inside the minecraft world. So, king orange actually had to break physics for doing so.
Plus he cant travel to the world until he got the staff and block
To be fair if anyone would know it would be villagers from Minecraft.

The fact that the king was pretty much unstoppable at that point but switched sides at his own will (literally because of a change of heart) .That's honestly quite rare to see coming from a villain. And the fact that he's not just some kind of a dumb villain who gets wrecked after loses, he's very strong and intelligent. Literally everyone thought they had him down that one point but he's able to 1v11 with little power to get back the staff. Well written antagonist.
Been here since the animator vs animation, it's just getting better
He reminds me of Thanos
And that's not all. He's able to portray all of that personality without the involvement of speech in a character and that's saying something. Truly a well written antagonist indeed
Yea. In universe he seems to actually be kind of a genius considering all the stuff he did to make the staff and all, so he essentially worked up to being so undefeatable, which is even more impressive
Just saying, King Orange probably could take on the chosen one n dark lord and win if he does some research on them beforehand

The idea that this entire series started with a lone stick figure and a dream would baffle my past self. The work you put in truly shows through the creation of a rich story and well written characters. I always tear up when watching things with well written characters and despite either being a long time fan or a new viewer, it shows how much effort one has put forward to create a work of art.
Frfr
I can't put into words how fantastic this is. But I can try. King Orange's backstory is tragic and it really makes you feel for him and wish that that fateful day at the fair never happened. The fight is probably the most epic I've ever seen in all of fiction. Purple finally standing up to King Orange and King Orange realizing he cares a great deal for Purple is really sweet. The part where King Orange is in his house and realizing this isn't what Gold would've wanted is emotional, and it's satisfying to see him finally break through the wall that represents those traumatic memories and give Purple; who viewed King Orange as a father, a hug. And the final escape sequence is great as well, seeing the piglins help out and be willing to sacrifice themselves to get the Minecraft icons back to the PC to undo all the damage, which was shown to happen back in The Ultimate Weapon. And the ending consistently brings to to tears. 13/10 Alan. The Minecraft Movie could never. And don't even get me started on the score!
"The Minecraft Movie could never" I'd bet they don't get half the views or review as AvM
what minecraft movie?
this IS our minecraft movie.
I never thought I'd cry to a story about stick figures... the story, the visuals, the music, the unique fight choreography, it all came together to make a masterful finale to this season. I just don't have good words to describe how much I loved this. Bravo, Alan Becker, bravo.
I thought the same when I started tearing up during the scene where Orange ran towards Purple in the void thing how can faceless voiceless drawings make you so emotional
29:58 I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but this is a subtle Technoblade tribute
Agreed.
So relatable, the person telling this not the video
I love how the King's origin story makes the audience initially think that his schemes are an attempt to bring his son back to life, but the scene in the Void makes it clear that it was about getting revenge on the thing that he blames for his son's death. 10/10 writing.
I thought that he was just beating the world and not that he wants to take revenge on him
I think he tried getting his son back by destroying the game but in the end realized that in doing so he was just hurting so many beings and, if his son is still in there, also his son.
More like 6/10 I don’t find it that good

@@veselinborisov369 story just was not that well I didn’t think it would fit for orange to have a son and that ruined him in the end

@iambreadbear3325 yeah, witch purple never mentioned, thanks for proving my point.
It goes to show that you don’t need realistic animation to make a masterpiece. You just need a stick figure and some imagination. This is amazing. A real treat to watch
So true.
@@jamohasjamwtf are you on

Ik this is a year old but this is sakuga (realistic animated movement) so.. technically all you need is a good script and worldbuilding.
Who would’ve thought that a fun animation video from 6 years ago would span into such a cinematic series full of emotion as this one? Alan has outdone himself, and I’m sure everyone can agree. This has all been beautiful, and I am glad to be part of the audience that was able to experience it all. Thank you.
It's even longer than six years. Orange/The Second Coming originated from Animator vs. Animation IV, which in turn was an installment of the original Animator vs. Animation going all the way back to the year 2006. This has been over a decade and a half in the making.

Hello, I'm making animation too, can you see my videos?
Gotta be the most emotional episode out of all them
This was hands-down one of the greatest TH-cam series ever created. The animation, storytelling, characters were so unbelievably incredible, and I never even considered the possibility of stick figures having such emotional scenes with such deep backstories until this series came to be. Alan and everyone on his team, the outstanding work here is undeniably and truly fucking awesome; I can't wait until more comes out!
As soon as King Orange's son got deleted, I could see where this was going-- but was still on the edge of my seat the whole time. I like how both King Orange and Purple had to accept a resolution to their problem beyond the one they thought they wanted. Real life is like that. That's how character growth happens. Hats off to Alan and his team!
thought it was his little brother
@@axquatil87 Honestly, it could be either. We don't have enough information to make any real conclusions now BUT...I will say Purple needed a father figure in his life that he could look up to and the Orange King needed someone who could bring out his adventurous/innocence again.

Im not crying you're crying-
But on a serious note, this whole series was an actual work of art. Actions speak louder than words, as they say, and the way Alan Becker described this entire story in such a moving way while using only movement is both inspirational and beautiful. The entire relationship between King and purple had me on the verge of tears so many times. The fact that they both lost the people most important to them, making them bitter to everyone until they found eachother and saw those people in eachother is so well written and expressed. (Unlike this sentance, haha) I've loved this series from the very very first episode, and I am more than pleased, impressed, shocked, and moved by how far it's come and how it ended.
(On a side note, the true motive behind both King and Purples actions was a huge plot twist and view changer. At first I thought the only thing they were after was power, before we saw Kings backstory. By the end battle I didn't know who I was rooting for, until the Void scene occured. I thought he was trying to get his son back when in reality he was just talking out his anger on everything in his path, including the cause itself. Really poetic and again, absolutely stunning how this entire series has developed to this point!)

I just *ADORE* how Herobrine comes in with this sense of power. This overwhelming force, that only seems to be a legend to some, has arrived to patch things up. Yet... The moment he sees that The King can absorb his Player Minions, he hesitates. He's seen backing up a bit. What was originally this symbol of power and fear turned heroic god, suddenly becomes noticeably afraid, a new feeling that's washes over him like a tidal wave. What once was an easy fight just turned for the worst, and you can see him just back up slightly. He'll fight, but not with the same confidence he just had. This is why I love Alan's animations so much, the details that you barely notice, yet improve the animation tenfold. Subtle references to previous entries to the series. Everything about these animations screams life into seemingly average and basic things such as Minecraft and Stickman animations.

This is a friendship I’ve never seen and this deserves an Oscar. And I think the absolute best part is how they don’t even talk like you said.

And when it all started, it was practically impossible to decipher what would bring us such content. Thanks.

I don’t often cry when watching anything, movies, shows, whatever. But this is something else. To think I cried over a battle of stick figures, who, throughout their entire existence, have never spoken a single real word. This series is an absolute masterpiece, it takes “show don’t tell” to an entirely new level. Not only is the animation absolutely incredible, but the story is so poetic yet so simple. This is genuinely one of the best things I think I’ve ever seen on the internet. I remember watching Alan Becker’s animations for years, but this is genuinely something else.
Thank you, Alan, and everyone else involved, you’ve created an absolute masterpiece. The only disappointing thing is that more people don’t know about this.

I could go on. It's just so good.
Oh yeah, and the fact that the melody from Purple's song in the previous episode plays when he's running towards King- just emphasizing how it mirrors the desperate struggle Purple's made to get to that father figure all his life- it makes my little musician brain explode with happiness. When I first watched that part, I recognized the melody instantly, and I pretty nearly screamed from excitement.

Proud to say I'm a 23 year old man who was moved to full-on-face-streaming tears, by a Minecraft animation with stickmen who don't say anything. The recent episodes in the series are plainly incredible-- absolutely incredible pieces of storytelling. A perfect example of showing so much more than telling. Glad to have been on this ride since its beginning, and as much as I want more AVM shorts, I hope it's continued in a way that respects this episode being the finale to an epic story. Massive congrats to Alan and the team for sticking the landing.
Me too man me too and proudly, tremendous work by Alan absolutely tremendous!.
Who would have thought that an animation of a stick figure fighting his animator so many years ago would have turned into such a beautiful story with fully fleshed out characters and backstories. The animation was a masterpiece for the ages, and you should be proud of yourself and your team for making such a well loved story. Take a good break, and we will be eagerly waiting for whatever comes next!
So.
This was an insane finale, referencing literally every episode that predates it. The final rush to get the block back to the desktop felt symbolic of them finally ending the story, much like how they did before, with everything they found and saw crumbling around them. The other thing I would like to note is how Alan managed to tie King Orange and Purple’s stories together, making them so similar to what the other lost.
There is so many other moments and details that make this animation the peak of perfection. The animation is beautiful, the storytelling is creative, and it is easy to tell what is going on, all wrapped into one thirty minute episode. Insane job Alan, and the rest of the team.

Moral of the story: revenge isn't a good thing. I know revenge can be good. Though it's only gonna be good if you know what you're actually doing. Sometimes revenge can turn you into something that you hated the most. Or it might leave you to an existential crisis because you've done it. You wasted your time. Now you have no purpose.

@@user-nl5ps4kl6h Dude, this may make you cringe but this is the equivalent of a game you liked in your childhood, this series has been through so much and seeing how it ends (I'm still not sure if it's the end or not) is something that It can hurt anyone, something you liked coming to a happy conclusion, it's just beautiful
What an amazing way to tie all the loose nots and finally end this rollercoaster of a series. From the start there was a sort of mystery surrounding the two main “antagonist” of these shorts and the fact that we get such a perfect ending for both of them is amazing. Someone who lost his son who finds someone similar to love and a child stripped of his father’s love finds someone who he can actually call his father is just such a Disney level ending that it nearly brought me to tears just watching it for the first time. They story, the animation, the sheer length. It Truly is just a masterpiece.
Plus the way everyone becomes friends and finds their own happy endings is just. God.
Telling a story with colored stickmans without a single word in a way that makes it impossible to hold back tears is definitely a skill that most directors in Hollywood can envy.
I love that red is portrayed as by far the most courageous; he's the first one to get up to fight and the first person to charge at the king, and it looks like he willingly let Herobrine possess him. Man knows what needs to be done and he does it
he got possesed by herobrine in episode 1
insane
He's willing go to through trauma
@@christinedeoseseh3267 its actually the movie of Animation Vs Minecraft
Hes the first one to attack in ava ep 4 too
Pls make more Videos of this,
i love the Videos so much.
I never thought I'd shed tears watching this animation, let alone any other movie or book. I finally understand what a real masterpiece looks like. This was the most beautiful animation, in fact, story that I have ever come across.
Same bro same
Alan is gonna drop the one of the hardest episode ever
edit: THE EPISODE REALLY GOES HARD BRO....
ikr
yea like 32 min
Yeah
Remember its over 30 minutes long!!
fr
I realize that you make on my birthday thank you Alan!
This was just the greatest thing ever, Alan! I had tears in my eyes and a stupid grin on my face for the whole episode. I loved the little Technoblade tribute, too. I personally nominate you and your team as the greatest animators and storytellers on TH-cam!
Coming back after the minecraft movie teaser came out. Let's just say that all the commentaries saying: "It's better than most movies" aged very well.
Haven't even seen the teaser.
@@Evoimations here's a minor spoiler. It's live action
@@amirulamani1487 the fact I didn't see the trailer doesn't mean I haven't heard about it.
I love how they slowly went from shorts, to 30m mini movies. 😢 This plot is better than half the movies in existence, and I can only hope Alan continues to give us these gifts.
It had me tearing
almost as good as killer bean forever
and thats a compliment
not long ago but i saw a YT comment saying that in a discord server, someone said that alan becker is thinking to make a new series of something
@@No-san YES.
I was about to cry at the scene at 27:30 , you sir are AWESOME!!
Damn....I did not expect myself to shed a tear from this finale. You really know what audience to hit Alan. I'm so happy, I grew a part of this story.
Congratulations alan!
You might’ve shed a tear while I’m flooding my room
you should cry who wouldn't?
Ikr
Oh you not expect yourself
A finale that nearly brought tears to my eyes when few else can. I’ve grown to miss the villains who do not have a change of heart because of the heroes, but a villain who has a change of heart because he finally sees his actions for what they really are and chooses to make a desperate attempt to undo his sins. Human emotion can make a villain, but can change one all the same. To call it a “cop out” or “plot convenience” is a crime, it’s human, and it’s beautiful
unfortunately, I'm crying, I'm not sweating through my eyes.
The fact that you had actual commands as the commands written on the staff is so bizarre. The attention to detail is amazing, and you deserve an award for this. Any award.
@DAVID APOLINARIO MGI
Look at the section before the kid enters Minecraft and look at the screens.
You can take a screenshot and zoom in more to look at the commands there and see how accurate they are.
Any award hmmm🤔🤔
Grammy award for animation 😉😇
😊 13:04 13:06 ❤🎉
@DAVID APOLINARIO MGI yeah
Even that command block staff, lol.
21:33 he stopped for a second before attacking yellow possibly hinting at him being reminded of gold (his son)
I remember watching these little dudes when I was younger! I was kind of catching up on this exactly when the story started to progress and just realized when this video got recommended that this might be the end of the series.
I started to re-watch EVERYTHING before the end to refresh my memory (I didn't even realized I missed like a quarter section of the series lol); from the very original one where The Chosen One was created, where they(Stick Fighters and Second Coming) all met, to them being in video games like old school arcade games, LOL, and this, Minecraft. Suddenly it started having shorts where they all do silly things and I've grown attached to them more than I expected!
This series mean so much to me and I cannot thank you and your team enough for making this! I still giggle and laugh at all the gags and jokes like the same videos from 8 years ago(although not exactly at those years since I didn't have access to the internet at that time LOL)!
I love all the personalities you gave the stick figures and I love all their interactions, I keep having myself to pause at some moments because I want to see their movements individually when they all do crazy stuff at once!
You inspired me and most likely so many others so much to be an artist and an animator, thank you once again for this lovely series with endearing lovable characters, a heart wrenching storyline, and an amazing ending!:DD
WHY IS IT SOO LONG
@@trinitytran8290 Series means a lot to me LOL, watched it for so long might as well talk a lot about it:P
Easily one of the most well-written and choreographed works of art I've ever seen on TH-cam. This episode made me laugh from overwhelming happiness and it made me cry, making AvM one of the few shows I've ever cried from. The fact that Alan Becker can make something so beautiful from stick figures and Minecraft makes me wonder at the sheer talent he possesses. I'll be waiting patiently to see what Alan posts next.
This guy can do better storytelling than most anime or drama with longer episodes and with no words being said. Absolutely spectacular
+++
@Alan Becker must install Minecraft Mods.
Damn so true
Longer run time overall and facial expression as well
No faces too
an excellent ending. Well done Alan Becker!
Alan literally created a masterpiece, we will never forget how this StickMans story began and how it ended, simply amazing.
Tatelly agree, you described it perfectly
yes
Yup I think he worked a little too hard and he is now exhausted rip Alan Becker
This is not the series finale you donkey it said Season finale not series finale you donkey
Make a new video
From a creative, cool-looking animation that went viral, to an entire series exploring various aspects of the game as well as tributes to numerous communities within it, while having an intriguing overarching storyline leaving everyone with each of their own theories, to a satisfactory ending, yet on a classic cliffhanger leaving the viewers wanting more... Everything about AVM is just perfect.
Thank you Alan for creating part of my childhood, I'll definitely miss the series a ton :')
me too
totally agree with ya: he made a masterpiece
me too
Season finale not series so that's some good news
@@nostalgiaguy3902this certainly feels like the end of the main story. We’ll probably get more shorts like the ones in the first episodes though
THE EMOTION. THE ART. THE SYMBOLISM. I’m crying. Speechless. This series has been a big part of my life. There was no better way to end it.
19:20 TWO whole years since this utter masterpiece dropped, and only today did I see that, once King Orange had the Warden in his grasp, the Warden reached onto its back, grabbed the Second Coming, and threw him away TO PROTECT HIM :,) I can't even with whoever the storyteller on Alan's team is. It really is the small details that make a whole world of difference
The season was structured like a Regular Show episode.
Blue needs to fill his addiction, goes to nearest fortress to get his fix. Tomfoolery ensues. Few episode later, entire cast is fighting to prevent the destruction of the world. Beautiful.
Verily
i mean to be fair the king was gonna destroy minecraft anyway, so really, it was all started because the king let their kid enter the funny minecraft machine
Moral of the story? Don't let your kids enter big machines after signing a waiver /j
@@Greenpixel16 read the waiver
and after that, orcube fell of an website and got in the youtubeverse portal, then he saw everybody in there dead after the youtuber minecraft hole sucked them and spitted them.
@@Greenpixel16 The Minecraft simulation was working well, problems started when the two programmers (blue and turquoise) were distracted (busy making out)
Speechless, absolutely speechless. To call this an emotional rollercoaster would be an understatement. You can see the time, effort and dedication that was put into this story. Fantastic job and definitely worth the tears
yes it was speechless good observation
@@TuxedoDogss💀💀💀
I am genuinely lost for words. I’ve never seen such emotion in a stick figure, and I probably won’t see as much as I did today. These are the best animations I have ever seen, able to bring such sadness, followed by such elation so well. It’s been an amazing ride, and whatever happens, I can not put into words how much I have enjoyed this series, and how much it means to me. Thank you, Alan Becker.
29:57 no i started crying when you did that techno
30:01 tencno blade
This series will go down in TH-cam history. Hands down the most enjoyable thing I have watched on this platform. I will always remember this. Thank yourself you for this, honestly.
I may have to come back to this and point out any other details, but at around 21:48 when Green reaches out to Purple, you can hear in the soundtrack a tiny bit of the motif of when Green was trying to catch up to Purple back in the musical episode. Those few notes were what triggered Purple to give his backstory to Green, why he's fighting for King and why he decided to help him accomplish King's mission. The fact that Purple is stepping up for our beloved fighters, now fighting AGAINST King, which could be his very last fight, shows just how much Purple developed in these past several episodes and now knows what to fight for and who to fight for. Green reaching out to him, pleading him not to go, also shows how much the 5 and Purple's friendships have blossomed after Purple has sided with them.
Very subtle detail, it might also be because the musical episode was my favorite out of all of them and I instantly recognized the tune, but amazing detail nonetheless.
Amazing job as always, Alan!
Oh man I hardly agree with you, also noticed and love it!💚💜
omg i didn't notice it at all, wow
@@pimlluck samee
There also a detail that purple music(or voice) keeps changing tones but when he confronted king he stick to one tone which is the highest like screaming
Thank you so much for telling me about this!
You sir have outdone yourself. Without even saying a word, everything said held such gravity. it has been a real journey though I don't think we can call these half hour episodes "shorts" anymore. Its hard to believe how far this series has come, from simple 2D animations on a generic windows background to a full blow 3D environment and a story better than anything being put out of Hollywood. This may not be the last we see of our favorite stick figures, but you nailed the ending perfectly, something that has always been hard to do.
for real man
