Monkey Wrench is definitely one of my top favorite indie cartoons. When I first watched it Shrike and Beebs instantly captured my heart. The personality differences between the two but are still able to maintain a good friendship makes for a great main duo. The other characters that were introduced are also very fun to watch, scratch and his brother Scritch are great in how they interact with both each other and the Monkey Wrench mercenaries. I can’t wait to see more of Tyneen as well. The animation style is one of my favorites too, I’m very happy that the team got the money needed to fully animate episode 4 (or at least for the most part).
honestly this was the show that really got me to start checking out youtube animated shows cause god damn despite only having like 3 episodes it's already captured the feel of 2000's animated shows, and the fact its got such a small core cast is actually such a boon, gives way more time to flesh out these two's relationship. you don't feel like they aren't friends despite having some issues between eachother cause that'd naturally arise from being isolated together for so long.
I was upset that not many people are talking about this show, I just love the goofy space vibe aesthetic they've got going, and the colors and characters, my god. I want this show to succeed and hope the 4th episode would bring more eyes on it as well as the other episodes before it
I saw that Glitch Productions is going to help fund other indie animation shows, the first one to be announced is Lackadaisy. Here's hoping Monkey Wrench ends up on their radar, which I think has a good chance of happening.
@@noahhamilton5974 Considering Scratch also takes jabs at Shrike for being a squid guy, I think it’s safe to assume he’s just plain racist lmao And also boner being a canonical slur towards skeleton people.
dude i showed it to my sisters and it was so special bc we rarely have seen cartoons with Spanish in it without being FULLY Spanish. When we watched it, we looked at each other when we heard Spanish (without it being Spanish like mockery or playing pretend/roleplaying) and it made me smile. Aside from that, Im glad I saw it when the first episode came out bc I have been following the progress behind each episode ever since. I love it for every little thing, the writing, the jokes, the music, the sound design, the character design, the world building, the voice acting, and more than anything the creator inclusion (inviting other creators to work on the project) it is AWESOME. pls pls share it to your friends and family and strangers
@@Cool_Chill Oh, that’s awesome! I showed Monkey Wrench to a friend whose family speaks Spanish and he thought it was neat, too! Though, he was more into the anime references in the show. My family background is Italian and I don’t think I’ve heard characters speak Italian in cartoons without it being a joke either. It’s a bit weird that a lot of jokes about being bilingual boils down to “haha other languages are so weird-sounding!” Anyway I can’t form a coherent thought right now because it’s 2 am but thank you for the sweet comment!! I’ve gotten two people to watch the show so far and I’m trying to convince three others. I will spread my propaganda.
@@darkvioletcloud aw yay! And yea it is weird and upsetting how they tend to pass off other languages as "I can't understand you! *Insert stereotype*" and that's the end of inclusion :(
I LOVE MONKEY WRENCH. I watched a video [by someone I forgot the name of and can't find the video anymore] in which the narrator spoke about how much he hates the mentality of "why isn't this show getting the love it deserves" while not going out of your way to promote it in your own community and that really spoke to me. I don't have much of a platform besides friend servers but I'm doing what I can to spread the word to help out these creators because they're really getting the short end of the stick. Although, you gotta be honest, they lowkey did it to themselves with the lack of marketing of the show. Nonetheless, my plan to help them out is making fan music. I currently have 3 songs in production about Monkey Wrench - one is close to finish - and I'll probably debut my fandom music career with those... as well as a cover of Monkey Wrench (by Foo Fighters), which I'll slap some Monkey Wrench (the show) thumbnail bait onto [and maybe do a funny poster for the video visualizer repurposing the main characters of Monkey Wrench as the Foo Fighters band members on a stage (I might make Beebs Dave lmao)] in order to get it the right attention. :D
This show deserves so much more praise and im glad people are talking about it. MW and ENA are my absolute favorites when it comes to indir animation and im planning on getting the new Shrike plush to match my ENA. I love both shows equally. Each has their own special vibe that not many other shows have. Especially with the original scores. Oliver Buckland, VLIF's and MetaRooms scores for ENA fit the series so damn well with how alien yet disturbingly human they feel. Ive industrial danced to the Power of Potluck soundtrack. And honestly at points ive air guitared some of the Monkey Wrench soundtrack as well. Its very punky and sporatic music. Almost industrial punk rock in a way with the heavy reverberating drums. I love that shit(sorry im a huge music nerd).
Totally agree! Monkey Wrench is awesome. There are so many really cool Indy animations to watch now, Murder Drones, Helluva Boss, Worlds Apart. We are so spoilt for choices.
I absolutely love this show, its got what I love, sci-fi, action, great character interaction, comedy, awesome animation, funny little easter eggs of youtubers and people from Newgrounds, and a rocking soundtrack (saying that feels a little "how do you do, fellow kids"). I'm glad there are people who are giving the show the attention it needs because damn, Zeurel and the rest of the cast have put their soul into it. and thank you for making a video on Monkey Wrench, and ep. 4 is going to be great to watch when it comes out.
I've been a fan of zeural since last year and when I found out he created monkey wrench I was in shock! I absolutely love this show and I can't wait for its future content!!
YESSSSS monkey wrench mention !!! the episode 4 scraps are making me go crazy i NEED to find out what's going on with Beebs and the other Walrinian guy........ but yes that show is such a huge inspiration and i can't wait to find out more, so glad it's getting coverage!
Always a delight to hear people giving Monkey Wrench it's due praise! Great video, and I appreciate the clever use of scenes which relate to things you're talking about~!
Here to support someone talking about this criminally underrated series! I really wish one of the big animation youtubers would finally talk about MW, because it really deserves more eyes on it. Also, your character designs are super gorgeous! Those sparkly, celestial-themed outfits at 9:03 are 100% my jam. 👀
I think SaberSpark mentioned the series in passing and included Shrike in a thumbnail but I think he or someone else should make a full video on it. It'd be a massive boost of attention! Also thank you!! Those are some beta designs for some goddesses. That drawing was from 2021, so it's time for an update.
Ur so real for this mw is so good man 😭 Tyneen is my lifeline, and also tyneen isn't a merc! Pirates have a different rank board, confirmed. She just likes being an ass
I see people compare Monkey Wrench to Cowboy Bebop a lot, which, as a fan of both, I can attest to being accurate. But my first instinct was to compare it to Bravest Warriors and Futurama, if anything. Either way, Monkey Wrench is fresh as hell and I'm so excited to see where it goes
Monkey Wrench is my hyper fixation and I’ve actually shown this to my younger cousins and they loved it!! People need to give this show a chance it’s so good!So much so that I created a hacker OC Based on the show…there named is Cell Nukleó (been drawing her sm❤️💚💛💙)
@@IchigoG Oh that’s awesome!! Are you participating in Art Fight? It’s a game where, for a month every year, people draw each other’s OCs. You could get drawings of your OC if you participate!
@@darkvioletcloud I mean I heard about it Everywhere and know what it’s all about and it sounds fun, but I’m really not interested in that kinda stuff. Thanks for the suggestion though ┐(︶▽︶)┌
Dude, i just wanna know if the VERY old pilot the creator deleted is still out there somewhere, the one where there was a 3rd crew mate called Mel, this lil genius kid accompanying our 2 lovable idoots. I cant find it on TH-cam. Might just be lost media now.
It's on his Newgrounds account! I only found it after I made this video, but it's super cute! There are also bits of concept art on his NG as well~ I was never a Newgrounds kid so I didn't think to look there before making my video.
@@darkvioletcloud I’m saying that I wish there was a way to repost a TH-cam video like you would retweet something, or repost a tiktok, just so more people get it on their recommended, Yknow?
@@abnormal_zen OHHH I getcha! I was afraid I was being accused of plagiarism ;A; Feel free to share the link to this on other sites! I’ve posted it to Tumblr but nothing else. Half the time I forget I have a Twitter account tbh. I never use the thing.

Funny fact: at 3:45, the subtitles say "scratch used a hard R!" Which you know what that implies. Skeleracism.

Get those real politics out of our Monkey Wrench.
