    Pineapple Lord is such a great villain because he subverts a lot of the typical villain tropes. For example, many "all powerful behind the scenes characters" will oftentimes have their henchmen be revealed to be weak, but in this universe Pineapple Jacob is the final form of the Pineapple Lord. It's such an interesting twist because it really pushes the characters to their limits. Alexander and Jacob might have fought before, but this is the true test of that. Jacob might have died before, but this is the true test of that. It's taking previously used elements and pushing them up too eleven. I'd liken it to the final level of a video game recontextualizing the things you've seen in previous levels.
    This is not even bringing about how he manages to foil every character of the main cast. The empty void of loneliness perfectly parallels mecha mole's loneliness upon not having a family anymore. He parallels Alexander's constant commitment to friendship even in the face of horrible violence. He parallels even that first suicide bomber character that one weird kid wanted to be. He's the perfect foil. And Pineapple Lord is so amazing because of the same thing you talked about with the Wall. It might be a ridiculous villain, but he has so much depth and character underneath the surface. What should be a joke character exploited into a compelling antagonist.
    Not to mention Pineapple Lord is an effective villain because he is just that, effective. Most villains will dilly dally and walk around their goals in order to give their heroes a chance. But Pineapple Lord knows what he wants, and when he sees something isn't working he changes it. He takes out Jacob when he sees something not working. This isn't even taking into account an incredible feat for a villain, he wins! He manages to take over everything for 5 whole years. Take that Thanos.
    While his motivations might not seem very sympathetic at first, I'd compare them to a character like Bill Cipher. He's been stranded in a void of nothingness for so long he craves anything. If taking over the multiverse means that, then that's what will happen. This is an incredibly complex worldview to have because it shows that despite his despicable actions, he's more chaotic neutral than anything. Should the series continue, there would be the possibility that Pineapple Lord might take a stand against other villains.
    This is already something he has been shown to be willing to do. He actively works against Racnoss and Dark Master. This means that given the right story, he might side with the heroes, something which is able to add an incredible amount of depth to a villain. I can understand where he is coming from in that context.
    Pineapple Lord is only foiled due to essentially 2 miracles. Alexander returning from hell, and him somehow eating all the pineapples. He doesn't go down just like any other villain, he goes down swinging and only lost because he was truly outplayed. He was good, but Alexander was just better. Then, he goes down with a nuke with both heroes sacrificing themselves. And the victory truly feels earned.
    In conclusion, Pineapple Lord deserves credit as an extremely well thought out and executed antagonist. Marvel needs to hire this man.

    Hear me out. Pineapple lord exists within a blank void outside of the multiverse, so maybe the reason hes a pineapple is because thats the best way human minds can percieve him without fucking dying. Maybe bears can withstand seeing his true form, and because od it, he sabotages mecha mole as hes the only one that knows what they're truly up against. He knows that whatever they do, theyll lose, and so he wants to spare his friends the suffering of reliving it all

    It's interesting how your comics went through a series of Gold, Silver, and Bronze Ages. Like, they went from a series of monster-of-the-week oneshots; to family friendly nonsense about a boy who is a bear; to this multiversal war that takes all the material that came before, and takes it seriously, and weaves it into an immaculate story.
    And then, after the multiversal threat was thwarted, the comics went into the 90s and became grimdark and the characters started swearing.

      @@PancakebatterLuigi I was kidding. Well okay it doesn't really make sense, and that's kind of largely the point, I wasn't intending for people to get it a whole lot, but now I feel compelled to attempt to explain it... So like, it's how the Morbius meme is always written the same way, with different verbs every time but the first one in the present tense always ends with either "ing" or the based "in'", and then the past tense one with "ed" simply because that's how most of the words usually end, although sometimes it _will_ be like ate, or something else entirelu. So I just kinda said that, as if somehow, due to the meme typically being written that way, that "eated" must then be correct, not understanding that's just how the word is spelled. Again, it doesn't really make sense and I was fine with it just being nonsense before, but I'd feel weirdly bad ignoring it now.

      Mecha mole truly is the most tragic character, he was just a mole that was starving so he needed to steal. Now he was forced to be in a war, he was mind controlled into killing his own family and army men. He was filled with such hatred of life he didn’t die, and instead reconstructed himself. After killing the man who stole everything from him he lost a point, all he was surrounded by was memories and dead men. Then once he found a point to his life to save the multiverse he was stopped, his whole life depended on this and bear boy took it from him. He died, and he thought the multiverse was finally fixed from the clouds of heaven. But then he saw the whole earth get destroyed by hitler 2 or whatever. Truly a tragic character, can’t wait for his lore.

    The suicide bomber part from your friend was deadass so unexpected that I might've laughed too hard and annoyed my family. Also I can't believe the Mole went from "haha I'm stealing from Tesco" to being drafted to war, being a victim of mind control, winning the war on his universe but at the cost of being the last survivor of his dimension, meeting up with friends from the multiverse, watching the same multiversal friends die in front of his eyes but still managed to fend off against the pineapples so that the bomb could be perfected, and gets betrayed by the one that was basically a Charlie Brown type character. Bear Boy needs to be in WatchMojo's Top 10 Best Villains of the Century video for being a straight up menace. Pippin the Dog and Mecha Mole are truly two of the best heroes in fiction history.

    The final battle against the pineapples, the compassionate reconciliation of two enemies who became allies to stop a greater cause to die alongside eachother, not knowing for sure if they've done enough, but being next to eachother is genuinely just so heartthrobbbing. Not to mention mecha-moles skill and bear boy's epic betrayal of fateful intentions. All for Pippin the dog, in a legendary finale, to eat bear boy, and then the bomb, resetting the timeline, all with stunning visuals and music. I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it, even if Pippin made me laugh at the sheer joyful absurdity. This was truly a masterpiece and an absolute joy to watch and I wish it was longer and I wish I could watch it for the first time over and over. This is, truly, one of the best retellings I've ever seen.

    I personally think bear boy’s fate was inevitable and not at all random and “dumb af”. Bear boy is a great hero and all, but deep down he is just a kid. All that trauma that he has been through seeing countless bodies and friends die, I think that got to his head, it traumatized him. So a quick decision was made, he was gonna end it all and take the time bomb. He knew he would be in an endless loop of pain seeing loved ones die, hurting himself both mentally and physically as he stops crime. Bear Boy couldn’t take anymore lives both directly and indirectly. When bearboy joined the team he felt like he had to join it. Do some true justice in his life. But seeing more and more people die, he had enough. His dark thoughts became reality. In the end he partly got his goal: Death.

    This was actually fucking hilarious and super interesting. The commitment shown by young Alexander as he rips up an entire story arcs worth of content is like Jared Leto method acting, and so insanely self destructive he makes the morbin fuck look like a child. The twist ending of eating all the pineapples gave me chills, and truly is a panel to rival the greats. The stories real life interaction is so fantastic in every way, and hearing about how you noscoped irl Jacobs nuts with a nerf gun and how that affected the story brought me to tears.Pineapple Jacob is truly one of the most efficient villains in the literary canon, and his character depth and scheming are so overwhelming that Iago must've used him as inspiration. I must say that it'll a major disappointment if his return isn't even an easter egg in the brick man comics. I await the return of this universe and your up coming comics with great interest.

    I genuinely thought some of those moments in the story were grade A storytelling, and the fact that you looked at all this and didn't outright bash it (plus the fact that you're also bringing it back!) gives me some inspiration to work on my creative side too. Thank you for this :)

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Alexander and Jacob. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Alexander’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Alexander and Jacob truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Alexander’s existential catchphrase "I shot him in the balls with a nerf gun," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Alex Lennen's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
    And yes, by the way, i DO have an Alexander and Jacob tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

    I used to write stories about people named after myself and my classmates, similarly to how you describe your comic books in this video. This video inspired me to look back to my weird stories I wrote as a kid and they're surprisingly mature. I've noticed that a lot of things children make mirror things adults go through throughout their lives, or even deeper subjects. For example, one of my stories has the morality of life and death as an integral plot point and how life cannot continue without death. You can also find deep subjects hidden in these comics you made.
    Pineapple Lord explores the inevitability of death and the horrors of immortality. While Pineapple Lord lost everything and began to feel trapped in his immortal body, he gave what he thought was mercy to the multiverse, the peace of death. It's quite depressing actually, and I think if these comics were remade they could be hidden masterpieces.
    It has also inspired me to rewrite my stories and, who knows, I may even publish them if all goes well.
    Thanks for making more great content, it's great seeing you finally get some recognition on this platform as I think no one is more deserving of it.

    @Melondeaudodo23 2 ปีที่แล้ว +116

    My essay on the comics.
    Alexander and Jacob is a realistic duo and they have a perfect friendship that feels reel because It Is real. In real life Alexander and Jacob like to make comics and In the comics they’re going to a top secret base for weapons but they get caught, this Is a metaphor of the actual Alexander and Jacob who were scared of getting caught for the comics that they were making and drawing in class, they liked doing It but they were scared to get caught. This comic shows a perfect represantation of stress and anxiety in a way that feels reel still because It Is quite reel. Alexander and Jacob were pretty confident at the time so they fought off the security guards but they were more security guards, and they thought this was the end. Alexander and Jacob lost confidence and self esteem. The security guards are a metaphor for the teachers at Alexander and Jacob’s school. The special healing bullets are a metaphor for anti depression medication and their confidence come back. At the end because of their confidence and self esteem they succeed to kill off all the security guards with an explosion. Alexander and Jacob are two kids who are often stressed and need confidence even medication, probably due to the bullying and exams. The fact that Alex and Jacob are the two only survivors Is because anything can die except love and friendship, except memories.
    Raccnoss Is a metaphore for depression but Alex and Jacob never face him face to face and in any way they try to hide their depression from themselves and everyone else It still comes back in all their bad moments or when there Is bad people around which makes them stressed and anxious. Alex and Jacob probably have an anxiety disorder and a confidence problem but because of their friendship they can fight depression and anxiety. Because of friendship everyone could fight the demons inside them, haunting them. Friendship definitively makes people fell better about themselves. The life restarter Is because In life you can always better yourself and even If you were a dick your entire life you can still become a good human.
    Alexander Vs Jacob shows the struggles in friendship and when you spend too much time with a friend you start too want to have other friends and do other things but because Alex and Jacob are still children they don’t express It well and Alex goes into violence because he thinks It’s the only way.
    Jamie Is a hero and the best person In the group of P6A he’s brave and would do anything for his friends. He sacrificed himself probably because he was abused for his entire life and most people he knew were mean to him except his friends so he didn’t want to let go the only thing that he truly loved.
    Bear boy Is definitely the darkest character, when Alex and Jacob have anxiety, Bear boy has no anxiety and no feeling at all he can’t feel stressed or scared he suffered too much already, he doesn’t care about dying he even kind of wants it. He’s probably surrounded by a family who doesn’t love him and I’m gonna assume rabbit kid Is his brother, rabbit kid Is a full on psychopath, he doesn’t feel any emotion, no guilt, no stress, nothing he’s a full on monster.
    Crab man smashing a brick wall Is because crab man Is like your ideal man, It’s probably a metaphor for toxic masculinity
    Alexander realized that even if he didn’t want to be friend with Jacob he still deserved too live and he didn’t have anyone else except him so he got to the multiverse and tried everything in his power too save Jacob
    
The reason why they went to a children show universe Is because It shows the innocence of Alexander and that he Is still a child after all even If he started a multiversal war.
    Bear boy felt angry that he didn’t have anything to do and that nobody cared about him so he tried to get attention by taking the bomb and starting It. Bear boy Is a narcissist and always tries to get attention.
    Pineapple Jacob shows that everybody even a perfect child like Jacob has a dark side a pineapple side.

  • @RealMrSpiderVR
    @RealMrSpiderVR 2 ปีที่แล้ว +108

    So let me get this straight,
    Alexander and Jacob are raiding a top secret base for weapons. When they’re eventually caught, they have to fight off all of the security guards before being completely cornered with no way out. Fortunately, there’s a double agent within the guards who replaces all of their bullets with these special healing bullets so whenever they shoot Alexander and Jacob, they’re effectively making them immortal. Alexander takes advantage of this immortality and blows himself up, wiping out everyone in the base except him and Jacob. Alexander and Jacob got an archnemesis called Raknos. Raknos had three main abilities, Mind Control, Shapeshifting and Teleportation. Every time they’d fight a bad guy, it would either turn out to be Raknos in disguise or him controlling them the whole time. To protect the world from Raknos, Alexander, Jacob and the rest of their friends joined together to form the P6A. They had a base of operations and lots of cool gadgets such as the life-restarter, a device that could bring you back to life no matter what the injury, which was only used once and was never mentioned again. They fought a zombie invasion, they fought Ice Cream Superman. Everything was going fine until Issue 68 titled “Alexander vs Jacob” Raknos takes control of Jacob and orders him to assassinate Prince Charles of the British Monarchy. Just as Jacob is about to deliver the killing shot, he is interrupted by P6A and forced to fight the people he once called friends. Despite having a bond history of friendship and going through hell together, Alexander has no problem with simply just shooting Jacob to death. The team is left to mourn Jacob while Raknos is put into a high security cell that blocks his powers but Raknos has one last trick up his sleeve, time travel. While the prison stops him from time-travelling completely, he manages to send a message to his past self, who then travels forward in time, creating a new timeline. The past version of Raknos, who we will call Raknos 2, disguises himself as a prison guard and frees Raknos from his cell. However, the two Raknos’ start to fall out and eventually start fighting each other but because Raknos is still weak from the prison cell, Raknos 2 gets the upper hand and kills his future self but before Raknos dies, he sends another message back in time, creating another new timeline. This time, Raknos swaps out Alexander’s bullets for healing bullets, thus when Jacob is killed, he is actually made temporarily immortal. Still under Raknos’ control, Jacob then breaks into the prison and stops Raknos 2 from being able to kill Raknos. The whole thing is just a really confusing and elaborate prison break. P6A still thinks that Jacob is dead and Raknos is still in jail so the two use this opportunity to continue their assassination plan but instead of trying to shoot Charles in broad daylight like last time, they’re now planning to blow him up remotely. While P6A was out fighting crime, Raknos and Jacob sneak into the secret base to reveal a bomb but just as they’re about to get away, they’re caught in the act by Jamie, who was too lazy to go on the mission with P6A and instead, decided to stay home. Jamie confronts Raknos, only to be surprise-attacked and shot in the chest. In his final moments, Jamie manages to tell his friends about Raknos’ plan before succumbing to his injuries. Alexander manages to track Raknos and Jacob down, only to find that they are holding an entire town hostage. If anyone tries to stop them setting off the bomb, they’ll execute the whole town. Fortunately, Alexander has a fully functioning Iron Man suit which has a missile targeting system, flying abilities and super speed but after about 2 panels, he ditches the suit and instead fights with his bare hands. Unsurprisingly, Alexander is completely wasted and left to die on the ground. The bad guys have won, the bomb is about to go off, there’s no hope left until Jacob sees a crying child and his sheer guilt and compassion overrides Raknos’ spell and frees him from his command. He takes Raknos head on, allowing time for the hostages to get clear of the bomb. Just then, the bomb goes off with Raknos, Jacob and Alexander caught in the exposion. While the other two are turned to ash, Alexander manages to crawl his way out the blast zone and barely survives. With most of his friends dead, Alexander vows to do everything he can to bring them back. (Read Replies)

      Alexander travels to an auction, where the main thing being auctioned off is a dimensional spaceship. Alexander lands in an alternate universe where humanity is now regressed to the caveman age after being hunted down by killer robots. Upon arrival, the robots shoot the dimensional spaceship to pieces, rupturing the fabric of reality and sending Alexander on a borderline acid trip through the multiverse. The destruction of the spaceship sends Alexander outside the multiverse, which is just a white void. It is there where he meets Pineapple Lord, a mysterious multiversal entity who has gotten so bored living in a white void all of his life. He couldn’t physically leave the void but could project his consciousness to other people in the multiverse and possess their bodies. However, with the massive hole in the fabric of reality, Pineapple Lord is free to go through it and could cause as much chaos as he wants. Pineapple Lord travels to Bear Boy’s universe and completely ravages it, leaving only few survivors, Bear Boy is fortunately spared but has to hold Rabbit Kid in his arms as he dies. During a battle with Dark Master, Crab Man looks up to see a fleet of Pineapples emerge from a tear in the sky and watches as terror unfolds. Electric Lord unleashes a giant cloud of electricity to try and stop the Pineapple invasion only to be wiped out moments later. Alexander jumps through the whole in reality in hopes of stopping Pineapple Lord. Through a series of adventures, Alexander teams up with Crab Man and Dark Master, who put aside their differences and decide to stop this multiversal threat, Bear Boy also tags along on their journey. Meanwhile, a different Raknos starts a war with the Moles and Mole gets captured by Raknos and then is eventually mind controlled by him. Mole then goes to his people and sabotages the equipment and betrays his comrades before killing his whole family. After his mission is complete, he is ordered by Raknos to blow himself up. Fuelled by sheer rage and the desire for revenge, the Mole pieces himself back together and turns himself into a cyborg. This new Mecha Mole unleashes devastation on Raknos and his army, avenging his family in the process. Eventually, Alexander and his friends show up. Mecha Mole, desperate for something to fight for, joins them on their quest to find Pineapple Lord. Alexander and his crew eventually recruited Auntie Mable, an old lady, and Pippin the dog but how could they defeat such a threat as Pineapple Lord? Well, when Raknos 2 went forward in time, he created a new timeline therefore, if they could just go back and stop this timeline from branching on, none of this would have happened and everything would’ve been fine. During her educational lifetime, Auntie Mable had accumulated an infinite supply of knowledge, thus possessing the necessary skills to build a device for this solution. Pineapple Lord becomes aware of their plan so he sends a fleet of Pineapples to stop them. It’s up to the rest of the team to bid as much time as possible for Auntie Mable to finish constructing the device. The fight is going well and the Team is managing to cut through most of the Pineapple forces but eventually it gets too much for them. Alexander gets taken out by a flying pineapple and is sent a million feet into the air. Carb Man and Dark Master hold the front line together but are soon overwhelmed and gravely injured. They take out as many Pineapple’s as they can before dying by each other’s side. Mecha Mole and Bear Boy are left as the last line of defence. Mecha Mole proves greatly effective against the Pineapple fleet but Bear Boy sabotages Mecha Mole’s systems to self-destruct. He then steals the device. All hope is lost until Pippin the dog at the last second, eats Bear Boy and bites down on the Device so hard that it explodes and engulfs the universe. The timeline is reset, Pineapple Lord is still stuck in that white void, Raknos never went back in time, Jacob is still alive,

      Pineapple lord sends Jacob a message telling him to kill Alexander. Jacob, remembering all the times he’s been mistreated by Alexander, agrees to join Pineapple Lord and goes off to confront Alexander. While he’s on his way, he accidently trips up and breaks his face. Pineapple Lord, realising that Jacob is not the man for the job, decides that he’ll do it himself and smashes Jacob to death. Pineapple Lord then possesses Jacob’s body, creating Pineapple Jacob. He walks right up to Alexander and Jamie, pulls out a gun and starts firing. Alexander tries to subdue him but it’s no use, Pineapple Jacob overpowers him and shoots him in the head, he then creates copies of himself thus ensuring that he’ll never die. The only people that could stop him now was the rest of P6A so instead of waiting for them to come and stop him, he goes straight into their secret base with a bunch of explosives and completely disintegrates them. With all of Earth’s defenders gone, Pineapple Jacob sends an army of his clones to every government on the planet so that they could meet the same fate as P6A. Alexander wakes up in Hell, it’s here that Satan himself gives Alexander a second chance and is resurrected into the real world where we skip to 5 years later where Pineapple Jacob is an all powerful dictator who rules the entire planet. Alexander then leads a group of rebels against the Pineapple forces in the name of freedom. Alexander’s rebels lead the Pineapple Clones into an ambush and take out as many as they can, this causes a massive distraction, allowing Alexander to sneak into Pineapple Jacob’s fortress to confront him directly. Alexander shoots him in the gut but Pineapple Jacob doesn’t care, he just activates all of his nukes and targets them towards their location, that way they’ll both get blown up but he’ll just respawn out of a Pineapple. It’s only then that Alexander reveals that he ate all of the Pineapples. Pineapple Jacob then screams out as he realises that his own nukes are about to kill him for good. Alexander doesn’t feel like getting ripped apart by nukes so he shoots himself in the head. Pineapple Jacob curses him before being completely annihilated by his own weapons of mass destruction. The End.

Anything I watched or liked was crammed into the characters and lore. We wrote out a detailed backstory mashing together Minecraft with the likes of portal and with comic nonesense. Somehow we filled entire google slides and a (now-abandoned) wikia page. But before we entered high school, we ended the universe with a massive multiversal war (similar to the Hickman New Avengers run).

And I remember that every time I met someone IRL that I really disliked I would make them a villain as well.
