you know i only JUST now realised the cold open with the rich guy getting murdered is actually tied to the mysterious locked chest shown at the end of the episode's stinger. All this time I jsut thought it was JUST to help trick us into thinking what the assassin was gonna do throughout the episode.
Monkey Wrench is EASILY rivaling Helluva Boss in every aspect, which really says something if you consider that it only has three episodes out as of now. It also has a cool assassin who is actually competent enough to actually win (and is not exclusively used as an villain, but moreso an antagonist).
Glad you're finally checking out this series. It needs A LOT more attention than its currently getting, and although its a massive tonal shift from "Monkey Wrench" you should also check out another indie space pilot called "Godspeed" if you haven't already. It was made by the same guy behind "Final Space".
note: the toys Noberts plays with at 20: are OCs from Zeurel, Spoiler and his evil alter ego, Black Ace, characters he dropped after he lost the animation tournament involving them (he didnt take the loss well at all, claiming favoritism was at play, and basically ditched the character out of spite, making it surprising he did a cameo of them here)
You actually have a lot of good commentary and pointed out some things I missed! It's nice to see a reaction video that actually adds to the original content.
So the part where Karla was reading about taking out Sanchez first and then Bulldog is a old TF2 joke/tactic called Shoot the Medic First cus they support the heavy, but really they are more like Dark Souls: Ornstein & Smough as you can see for a very good reason.
23:00 I-Is that the diner from Spaceballs?! *goes back to watch Spaceballs* Nope, I was mistaken, just a generic rest stop. 38:50 *shrugs* Worked for Earthworm Jim- Thank you Airier for showing me this, because I seriously needed some good animation to watch!
More people need to watch Monkey Wrench, hopefully this helps encourage people to do so! I also hope that, in addition to reacting to episode 3, you also react to the episode 3 outtakes and "Episode 3.5: The Tape", those are REALLY funny!
this actually isn't the first series for shrike and beebs, but it is the first one to get an actual FULL series,shrike also sounded diffrent and had 2 extra people, the one before this was "civil war" which went nowhere sadly, the dolls norbert was playing with are from some small things also, only name i remember is black ace, unfortunately all of zeurel's old animations were taken off his channel so you would have to find them around youtube
@@Airier Oh I meant I got recommended the year old animation just yesterday and now I also got your reaction too it right after lol, seems like the animation got picked by the algorithm gods lol
You may like Harry partrige's ghostbleed you see on sepw fake games,also milkyymelody's I'd fall again,and still think you gotta watch hauntlich review on the marvel toei collaboration isekai dungeons and dragons 80s cartoon
Man, never realized how much future plot points were set up in background details, and I've watched this so many times already.
This is probably the biggest endorsement I've read, so far, for the writing in this show. 😁
@@Airier Also, you missed a Lot of details by not having the captions on.
The worldbuilding is second to none here. Superior to anything else you find on youtube. Zeuriel has mastered the art of subtle storytelling.
Also, in the leaderboard you find EEEYYAARRRGH! As on of the mercs.
They are the bird who gets pwnd by shrike in the bathroom.

Trust me, the episodes that follow do NOT disappoint!
They also surprisingly heart-wrenching compared to this one (especially the most recent).

Criminally underrated show, hope it starts getting the attention it deserves

Ohhh sheeesh, You legend. This is a very good underappreciated series, really glad you're checking it out
THE MONKEY WRENCH REACTION!!!
MONKEY WRENCH REACTION IS REAL!!!
I’m glad you’re getting around to check this series out, it’s so well made!
lol that cat assassin was giving me Eversor with a dash of Callidus vibes
Episode 4 introduces Jaw Bone and the Plague Walkers. I’m fully convinced they are this universe’s version of Necrons.
24:25 “Gary was here, Ash is a Loser!” They included a reference from the Pokémon anime. Like early season one.
You actually have a lot of good commentary and pointed out some things I missed! It's nice to see a reaction video that actually adds to the original content.
You didn't notice but when the Queen said PLEASE almost demonic the prince spoke perfect English grammar saying "Yes mother"
So the part where Karla was reading about taking out Sanchez first and then Bulldog is a old TF2 joke/tactic called Shoot the Medic First cus they support the heavy, but really they are more like Dark Souls: Ornstein & Smough as you can see for a very good reason.
Protip: rewatch it with the subtitles on. Comedy gold.
23:00 I-Is that the diner from Spaceballs?! *goes back to watch Spaceballs* Nope, I was mistaken, just a generic rest stop.
38:50 *shrugs* Worked for Earthworm Jim-
Thank you Airier for showing me this, because I seriously needed some good animation to watch!
Yes YES the Pilot finally closing in in. 1mil even if it clearly deserves more.
36:45😂 your face!!!! Definitely continue to watch this, it's fun as heck
More people need to watch Monkey Wrench, hopefully this helps encourage people to do so! I also hope that, in addition to reacting to episode 3, you also react to the episode 3 outtakes and "Episode 3.5: The Tape", those are REALLY funny!
I appreciate you not cropping the video to 16:9 so there's no empty space when i watch this on mobile
Omg im so happy hes reacting to this series now!
Bro. Turn on the subtitles. They make the show so much better. They have little Easter eggs in them
Chris Zito, of DBZA and Unexpectables fame (as well as much more) voices Scratch.

if you haven't yet, rewatch it with captions on, there's a lot of cute jokes hidden in them, in this episode more than the rest of the series to boot
I'm glad you can finally check this series out❤
also the yellow little guy security guard is Zach, u might know him from smiling friends
I'm just sad I can't yell GHOST EGG at anyone who would get it... Tbh...
Love from a MonkeyWrench and Vaush fan!
You don't have to keep doing that

@@Airier Oh I meant I got recommended the year old animation just yesterday and now I also got your reaction too it right after lol, seems like the animation got picked by the algorithm gods lol
@@Airier Yes. It does.
YYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! FINALLY!!! I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME!!
this reminded me of a game you may like. if you want a game with the same 90s animated look Akumi Wars on steam it even has a free demo.
May I recommend for the next episodes you watch to turn on the captions, if I remember they put little extra details in the captions.
8:30 and is the same currency in starbound only it is pix i think
You may like Harry partrige's ghostbleed you see on sepw fake games,also milkyymelody's I'd fall again,and still think you gotta watch hauntlich review on the marvel toei collaboration isekai dungeons and dragons 80s cartoon
