@@AlphaTengua Unironically my "in reality is sung before someone dies" got proven correct in S2, and in an unironic ironic fashion (wont go further in case ppl havent seen it)
Season two brings a whole new level of horror to this scene. A decade of solitude in a dungeon brought a madness into his tortured experience. When he sees people in the first time in who knows how long and they don’t have the key, he wants the isolation back. He seeks the pain that he is familiar with and that adds so much more tragedy to his character.
@@mo0nflowersart I accidentally destroyed a worlds astral plane once, and the spiral just went from there That character became the bbeg the next campaign. They were not a stable character
That's ironic as hell that you say that because my lil satyr girl just verged from worshipping a goddess of nature to a fucking eldrich horror with no hesitation
The Nowhere King is like a mix of the Lich from Adventure Time and Aku from Samurai Jack and that being took singing lessons from the Beast from Over the Garden Wall.
That is quite possibly the most unsettling character introduction I’ve ever seen, just the way it’s vomiting goo and shaking as it does so is vile in just the right way.
He is unsettling because both of how he looks and because this is not a social interaction. He doesn't react to their horrified faces by saying either "you should be afraid, bow before me" OR by saying "you shouldn't be afraid because. . ." and then giving a reason. The "conversation" is just him voicing his thoughts to them. He is just looking around for a doorway. He also casually assumes they might have come there specifically to let him out, even though they aren't friends and wouldn't benefit from doing so.
He also a great foil to the main lesson of the show as someone who couldn't accept himself for who he was. Elktaur was a great guy and sad he couldn't see that.
I think the Nowhere King is way scarier than the Lich simply because we find out about the Nowhere Kings backstory. This guy was an actual person in the past, a centuar (elktuar) who fell in love, and then made the biggest mistake of his life. Thus, ruining thousands maybe millions of lives in the process. God knows what his armys kill count is, along with his own.
Not to mention, while living his dream he has also simultaneously forced himself to experience unfathomable cruelty and neglect; pushing him further into the depths of madness and despair as one form rots and is forced to continue living by the selfish other half.
Mm, there are different ways to build a character's fear factor, I suspect. The Lich is intentionally ambiguous, since he isn't strictly speaking even a singular person. The horror there is that of the unknown, that he is a mysteriously fated inevitability across multiple timelines striving for the end of existence without any apparent reason. He's closer to a mechanism of reality than a character, at a certain point, and the inhumanity of this mechanism is frightening for that reason. As far as I can tell (I'm less familiar with the lore of Centaurworld), the Nowhere King is much more human in that he is a regular person who has become twisted and given himself up to malevolence over the course of his life. This makes him a more understandable character, which does run the risk of losing the "unknown" fear factor. That said, to know precisely how a good person can become twisted into an all-devouring malevolence is also a wonderful source of horror all the same, so who's to say which is more frightening. I guess it's up to personal preference.
Awesome reveal... I think it would have been more thematic though, if there were no more songs during the entire time he was on the screen. After all, his lullaby said that he's the king of the place where laughter and singing die. And in a musical, that would have grave and awe-inspiring impact.
Honestly, yea, hard agree, it would be better if no songs were sung while he's still at full power, it would lend credence to how fucked up to the whole world his existence is.
That, or they could have the centaurs stop singing the moment they see the Nowhere King. Then to add a bigger impact, the centaurs' entrance could be used to interrupt the lullaby being played. No music, no sound, nobody moving.... Then suddenly, the Nowhere King starts moving and the lullaby continues playing but this time at a more intense and dramatic scale. That's what I thought of. Not sure if it's any good though.
Notes for creating a memorable cartoon: 1- Have a cosmic horror of a villain beyond anyone's comprehension that makes sense to the story; examples include the lich king, every courage the cowardly dog demon, the blob of data from pibby, any number of the scholars of golb, etc.
3:03 - 3:15 this part always gets me, not just because of how the herd sees Horse as part of their family, but also because the harmonization in their singing is absolutely perfect! 😭
@@duskbringer4583 bills a different kind of villain, he's intimidating in his on way but he seems more like hes just goofing off most of the time, while the other villains fore mentioned are portrayed just as they are, as creatures that would like nothing more to see you dead, and the world covered by a figurative or literal darkness.
I love how the song reads "you will bring, joy to the nowhere king." As its wretching in obvious pain and vomiting, making it unsure if this creature is even capable of joy
This gave me a reason to watch Centaur World. It looked like a ridiculous show but if it spawned a nightmare like the Nowhere King then it needs to be watched all the way through from the beginning.
Exactly my reasonings haha.. also i was REALLY depressed and bored and sick.. so that pushed me as well. i pushed myself to get out of comfort zone, be uncomfortable , and push myself into something cheery in hopes itd heal me. It healed me... i need to do it again but im not feeling it yet.
Him and the Woman know each other, probably intimately if the murals at the end of the show are anything to go by. She was a queen in the human world, he was probably a king of centaur world. She somehow turned him the way he is and fearing his power she imprisoned him in the void between the worlds. She probably did so after she saw how this new form and power corrupted him and judging by the way he forgave her and how she almost gave him the power he needed despite supposedly hating him, there's still some underlying affection between them. They could have easily been best friends, lovers or simply trusted partners. But it still stands that we might get to see a hint of his true form and backstory next season.
@@JeffCJY only thing i got wrong was about him being a king. But them being lovers was spot on(although with some complications there). They both still love each other but it was an abusive toxic relationship. Poor guy didn't realize you gotta love yourself before you can love someone else.
Did anyone else get a knot in your throat when the Nowhere King emerged? Also the Nowhere King is giving me Lich vibes from adventure time. To everyone who’s seen Centuarworld, and know the Nowhere Kings origins. What if that’s what the Lich was once upon a time? A simple magic caster who gazed into the abyss and took a step into it only to fall & be lost in the darkness and simply desire, and to crave death & destruction. Not in only our world but in ALL the worlds.
I like to think that while the king of nothing begins to emerge, the song in the background is really being heard by the protagonists, making it more murky, seeing an unknown and monstrous creature and hearing the singing and whispers of children in the background like lost souls really do it. even scarier
Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh Quiet, crawl through the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes
Why have you come here if not to bring to me the key? Then why disturb me? 'Cause now you're stuck here. too. you see I cant allow this I don't want houseguests in the void with me I'm finished with the two of you so Hush now, and die Little ones, hush now Into the middle of nowhere Where the singing, and laughter, have died ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We came here from Centaur World And we're here so we can save our baby giiiiiirl! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How foolish can you be? You've opened up the door for me And now your little herd is just something in my way I'm leaving now, if you like it here Than you can stay!
Why should you shows like this dont have much going for them but at least they have cool looking villain its the same for adventure time i dont like it but at least the lich is a good villain for my taste shows like this are too crazy and only make you go wtf
The Nowhere King is a most impressive villain that's very similar to Aku from the Samurai Jack series, at least that's my first impression upon seeing him.
If i had a penny for every time I’ve seen a seemingly innocent show with a dark gooey creature with antlers and glowing green eyes as the main antagonist I’d have two pennies which isn’t allot but it’s weird that it happened twice
I totally forgot about the mention of the nowhere king. I was all happy when horse reunited with rider, but then the nowhere king song started and I was like: "oh." *"OH. OH SHI-"*
“Kid” Show’s antagonists are getting creepier and creepier. Makes it easier for me to choose my favorite character of the shows. My fav character in this show is the nowhere king. Usually antagonists are my favorite character
does ANYBODY have his musical accompaniment isolated? NOT the lullaby, but the humming synth-tune that begins at 1:35. it slaps and has a few iterations in s2 but i cant find it bc 'nowhere king song' just gets me his lullaby. q_q
It's called "Nowhere King Battle". Didn't see an "instrumental" version specifically by the producers of Centaurworld, but there is a "karaoke" version that accomplished the same thing here: th-cam.com/video/qasMFB-odUk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Phizzy
The choice of a really twisted lullaby instead of dramatic bass, rock n' roll and all the other music typically used for a villain's theme somehow makes the Nowhere King even more eerie, disturbing and intimidating
Fun fact, the nowhere king's Hebrew voice actor, Ami Mendalman, Also voiced Firelord Ozai and Mr. Krabs, among many other characters. I think if batim and batdr had a Hebrew dub, Ami could voice Thomas Connor, Norman Polk and the ink demon.
The song goes: Hush now, Hide all you little ones Rush now, Into the middle of nowhere, singing and laughter will die.. That’s the first part of the song in you want to sing it
After listening to last lullaby this just hits different. *SPOILERS* The nowhere king is an elk centaur that fell in love with the woman, but hated himself, so he turned split himself in two or whatever, but she married the general. (Note: I don’t watch the show, I’m going off of my knowledge and other people)
You pretty much hit the nail on the head the only thing you're missing is that the elk half became a monster on the outside while the general ended up being a monster on the inside
I've never watched this show but... He seems like a good boy. Like he could be a sweetie. It seems like he's just been in this place so long that it's messed him up. Kinda like the transformation of Simon to the Ice King in Adventure Time.
This show confuses me so much. There’s centaur world, that’s just a kids show with fart jokes and stupid magic and, well, childish things you would expect from a kids show. And then there’s the.. earth? Side… war. Violence. Battle. Trust and betrayal, And the Nowhere king. Literal Elrich horror. Horrifying. HORRIFYING. TERRIFYING. Is this a kids show…? Is this a teen show? Is this an adult show? What is this, what genre? What is happening. Why did I watch all this kinda cringy childish stuff and then get hit in the face with eldrich abomination horror and plot.
Idk but i do know its basically sums up reality for me.. You have both moments all through out life. also remember we watched Moms and Dads die before literal probably equalivalent 4 yr olds growing up... dont forget ferngully!
Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh Quiet, crawl to the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes.
The Kirby franchise called, they want their eldritch abomination back. In all seriousness this guy is one of the best creepy cartoon villains I’ve ever seen.

horses reation to seeing the nowhere king is priceless
His entrance was chilling for sure
The choice of a really twisted lullaby instead of dramatic bass, rock n' roll and all the other music typically used for a villain's theme somehow makes the Nowhere King even more eerie, disturbing and intimidating
Fun fact, the nowhere king's Hebrew voice actor, Ami Mendalman, Also voiced Firelord Ozai and Mr. Krabs, among many other characters. I think if batim and batdr had a Hebrew dub, Ami could voice Thomas Connor, Norman Polk and the ink demon.
Damn.
Dude keeps rhythm even when throwing up.
"Singing and laughter have died," he sang with a laugh.
This is kinda when I knew for sure "This is NOT a little kids show."
It kind of is, and it kind of isn't
The song goes: Hush now, Hide all you little ones Rush now, Into the middle of nowhere, singing and laughter will die..
That’s the first part of the song in you want to sing it
Dreamless sleep, follows the nowhere king, when his kingdom comes, darkness is niiiigh....
Quiet
Crawl through the in-between
Silent
Secretive feeling of fearsome
Hatred that reaches the skies~
2:37 the way he grabs rider’s face here always gives me goosebumps
He sounds like the litch from adventure time and he is like a wendigo that sounds like dr seuss book.... not creepy at all..
He reminds me of Elias from "The ancient magus bride"!
@@Yestoanime Yessss i thought so too ;P
Also no face from spirited away :D
I love that dark song that sounds like a lullaby
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS AN ANCIENT GOD FROM LOVCRAFT MYTHS!!!
Watch season 2 and you’ll find out.
the way he moves & looks is almost like a combination of The Lich from Adventure Time & The Pony of Shadows from MLP
The fact that the series is on kids makes me scared like what’s scarier than the nowhere king in the kids section on Netflix
I know i dont see it for kids but teens.
it’s like if the lich from adventure time, belos from the owl house, and the shade lord from hollow knight all had a child
dude u literally having one the bombinest names ever x'D
@@AlphaTengua bro thanks a lot, It just appeared like an ancient prophecy
he’s like a mix of the beast from over the garden wall and the lich from adventure time.
After listening to last lullaby this just hits different. *SPOILERS*
The nowhere king is an elk centaur that fell in love with the woman, but hated himself, so he turned split himself in two or whatever, but she married the general. (Note: I don’t watch the show, I’m going off of my knowledge and other people)
You pretty much hit the nail on the head the only thing you're missing is that the elk half became a monster on the outside while the general ended up being a monster on the inside
@@thelorebrarian2266 oh ok
and they had to fight each other for years while not killing the other because theyll basically kill themselves
Me: *Sees Nowhere King.*
Seconds later: "...Where's the rift to Gravity Falls, I rather deal with evil Dorito with a top hat than THAT."
Bill: Same, honestly I just want to rule the world, this guy is committing an ENTIRE GENOCIDE.
Bill just wants to throw a classy party with a few casualties on the side. This guy is plain rude. No invite for him.
i absolutely love the nowhere king theme though, so good!
Idk why but Nowhere King just being knocked out of his vibe by the vegetable thing hitting his skull is oddlu relatable.
Nowhere King is absolutely terrifying.
I love it XD
His entrance reminds me of the darkness devil from chainsaw man
Once you know his backstory, they way the Nowhere kings was screaming "LET ME OUT!!!"
I didn’t really like this show until nowhere king showed up he honestly made everything more serious
I've never watched this show but...
He seems like a good boy. Like he could be a sweetie. It seems like he's just been in this place so long that it's messed him up. Kinda like the transformation of Simon to the Ice King in Adventure Time.
Yeah ! i agree!! ***SPOILERISH*** (trying not to)) ---------There's someone else he's connected to that never will be tho ..soo
Me (starting centaur world): pfft this is such a dumb kid's show...
Me (Nowhere King shows up): this is a kid's show?!?!?
This guy honestly scared me at first but i have now had the thought to want to cosplay as him or something, he's so fucking scary at first
As I look him dead in the eye and whisper “your mom.” When he asks for the key.
This show confuses me so much. There’s centaur world, that’s just a kids show with fart jokes and stupid magic and, well, childish things you would expect from a kids show. And then there’s the.. earth? Side… war. Violence. Battle. Trust and betrayal, And the Nowhere king. Literal Elrich horror. Horrifying. HORRIFYING. TERRIFYING. Is this a kids show…? Is this a teen show? Is this an adult show? What is this, what genre? What is happening. Why did I watch all this kinda cringy childish stuff and then get hit in the face with eldrich abomination horror and plot.
Idk but i do know its basically sums up reality for me.. You have both moments all through out life. also remember we watched Moms and Dads die before literal probably equalivalent 4 yr olds growing up... dont forget ferngully!
Love how his eyes showed that he was only really focused on leaving when they quite literally resembled the doorway
Hush now, hide, all you little ones
Rush now, into the middle of nowhere
Singing and laughter will die
Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King
When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh
Quiet, crawl to the in-between
Silent, secretive feeling
Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies
You will bring joy to the Nowhere King
When he sees the light leaving your eyes.
Way creepier than expected. Love it.
He's very content with just leaving his house to the squatters.
Like a true demon he to loves dancing and musicals
He’s basically the darkness devil from chainsaw man and literally The NWKs entrance is the same as the darkness devils entrance
every kid show after gravity falls for some reason
Man's has the same type of vibe as the litch from adventure time, intentionally uncomfortably out of place with the rest of the show in a good way
The Kirby franchise called, they want their eldritch abomination back.
In all seriousness this guy is one of the best creepy cartoon villains I’ve ever seen.
The Eyes remind me of the Lich, but the Black mass reminds me of how we all pictured Gaster from undertale…
Whole intro and aesthetic kinda gives me darkness devil vibes. Really cool.
I like the nowhere king’s motivation.
Giving me mad spirited away no face vibes
It may look disturbing with the miasma, but imagine if that was all flesh and bones...
1:21 that head tilt fucking gets me every time
I didn’t notice this at first but Rider actually misses her sword first time she tries to grab it while staring at the goop.
1:35 This vision with that theme below is particularly disturbing...
That scene is amazing and unnerving.
Am I the only one who thinks of the devil's carnival when they hear the nowhere king sing?
Fans every time the nowhere king does something evil: *drinks* *bottle* *with* *tragic* *backstory* WAAAAHHG
HE HAS SUCH A GOOD DESIGN
The discord when he sings fits him perfectly.
