Inspired by the original scene from smiling friends s1e1 and also • [SFM] G-Man Wakes Gordon Patreon: / benedict_g Twitter: / benedict__g Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/bene... #animation #ff14 #ffxiv
Without shit plot armor writing, Ancients would have won. Easily. They could overall just ignore the Scions and WoL. When it all started the writers made it sound like as if the WoL is of some importance for their plans, but FF14 is an ultra retcon and plot hole fuckery and this was just brushed aside like pretty much everything else. What remained in the end was that there was magical Ultra Hitler who slaughtered and torturted all life for no reason and that this is absolutely fine and everyone else is wrong, no discussion. What is.. just bullshit.
@@miriamweller812Sure, if you look at it purely logically. When none of the characters are. Emet may be old, but he's driven by sentiment, so is Elidibus. WoL isn't WoL to them, they're Azem or at least enough of Azem to make them want to engange and try to reason with them. I can agree to some degree that there's plot armor present. It was throughout the whole story from ARR to Endwalker tho. In the end the story is very anime and does have some things you'll just have to look past if you want to enjoy it. I feel like pretty much any piece of fiction does though. I can see the flaws in the story and still think it's a masterpiece.
Emet: "I have lived a thousand, THOUSAND-" WoL: "I hAvE lIvEd A tHoUsAaAn~" Emet: "er- . . are you mocking me?" WoL: "ArE yOu MoCkIn MeH?~" Emet: ". . ."
I can't tell what's worse. Having to live thousands of lifetimes trying so hard to get back what's lost; or having your monologue interrupted just be roasted and laughed at by a bunch of youngsters.
What might be even worse is that you're so old that some of the Scions aren't even "youngsters" but by comparison to you, they're still children. Like Thancred is easily in his 40s by now lol. Has that RDJ/Tony Stark mid-life crisis still a hero energy lol.
And it's suddenly weird to think about how many wives and children Emet-Selch had over the course of his many, many lifetimes... Cheers to another great video!!!
I do wonder if that job would also fall to Lahabrea (who is likely extremely soured after his experience with his crazy wife) or Themis (who is basically barely an adult)
Nah I don't think he did it until he create an empire, and make a baby to create chaos over realm when he didn't name the successor. They have no need for children aside from that.
Thanks to Ultra Hitle WoL and Scions serves, who brutally cut the lifetime of everyone by 99%, so the die all the time. Imagine someone would take humankind and cut their lifetime to some monthes. Not even the real Nazis were that fucked up.
Emet Selch had two sons, Lucius and Titus. Varis and Nerva are his grandsons, Zenos is his great grandson (Lucius > Varis > Zenos). He was actually starting to feel okay about humanity while raising his sons, but then his first son Lucius died from an illness when Varis was still a young boy and he doubled down on the Ascian stuff.
Gotta thumbs up for the Smiling Friends joke. Incidentally, he could have hit him as Hades with the "you look like you're going to tell your friends not to come to school tomorrow" line
His wife is dead, his grandson is dead and his great grandson only cares about fighting the Warrior of Light. He has no family. Only the past to comfort him. 😢
Gotta love seeing the big bads getting trolled. kinda makes one wonder what Gaius would think if he ever met Emmet. Or Nero, for that matter. (...still always pray for that hammer to fall on his foot in the cutscene)
So... the funny thing about that is that technically they both very much did. In fact, Gaius was closer to him than Varis. They just knew him as Solus.
They did know and meet his Emperor Solus persona, but I was admittedly waiting for the opportunity to reveal from the end of Shadowbringers to at least some of the Garleans who he really was. Yeah, maybe not to the desperate civilians we meet in Endwalker, that would be a tipping point straight into despair, but people who could take the news like Gaius, Nero, Cid… I feel they ought to know he built their perfect Empire to crumble in the end so they can at least learn what not to do as they rebuild their nation.
"Where's your wife? Go home to your family, dude!" It's bad enough for Emet, but if you told that to Lahabrea, I think he would genuinely start crying.
Ngl Emet was annoying at first, but as shadowbringers went on i was constantly like “what is this guy’s game plan?? He just shows up and like pokes us a bit and then leaves” then i was like damn bro this is deep…. Like tempest lvl deep
In order to mitigate the agony of turning into an light warden, the Crystarium’s medics prescribed some TCH for the WoD. Results proved interesting to say the least.
Emet became to distraught to be angry he did not open the gates to amourot for a final battle but instead told the WOL and co to go home leaving us and our comrades stuck on the 1st. Ending E Emet goes to cry which will lead into a brand new game where androids fight robots that use ascian magic.
As a reflex, everytime I hear someone call another person old, the "You're old" song from SpongeBob plays on my mind, it made the credits epic. On a quick rewatch the family burn was sick.
I hear if you respond to emet like this in the MSQ, the extreme trial become mandatory

No job stones
All of Shadowbringers could have been avoided if we had the option to hit Emet with the "Ok Boomer"
lol
I'm pretty sure he'd be hitting us with the Raid Wipe button if we did that.
Sticks and stones.....

Bullying Emet is pretty much this entire channels purpose lol.
Azem's secret youtube account
I'll never forgive him..
Emet: *sprints into the room with a greatsword, the first notes of "the 13th Struggle" accompanying him*
Emet: "I have lived a thousand, THOUSAND-"
WoL: "I hAvE lIvEd A tHoUsAaAn~"
Emet: "er- . . are you mocking me?"
WoL: "ArE yOu MoCkIn MeH?~"
Emet: ". . ."
My woL TBH
I like to imagine this how Azem and Emet first met. 😂
It was then that Emet knew for certain that this truly was Azem.
This is more devastating than the final days 😭🔥🩹
All those years living in misery, is now even more in shambles.
I agree....
I can't tell what's worse. Having to live thousands of lifetimes trying so hard to get back what's lost; or having your monologue interrupted just be roasted and laughed at by a bunch of youngsters.
"Damn Sundered whippersnappers..."
And you wonder why he thinks of us all as subhuman...

Don't forget husbands

Wives?
Thanks to Ultra Hitle WoL and Scions serves, who brutally cut the lifetime of everyone by 99%, so the die all the time.

Emet five minutes later: *casually butchering the scions*
WoL: *Vomiting and hallucinating* "Bro this is just like college!"
"Dude wheres your wife"
Que 85 percent of the FF14 playerbase raising their hand in unison.
"dead also i don't even remember her name"
Emet: "If we we have not met canonically, put your f*cking hand down before I smite you."
@@Envious_JIG *A few more hands rise*

Emet: My wife and son died decades ago, my grandson hates me and my great-grandson is a psycho.
accurate
Emet Selch had two sons, Lucius and Titus. Varis and Nerva are his grandsons, Zenos is his great grandson (Lucius > Varis > Zenos). He was actually starting to feel okay about humanity while raising his sons, but then his first son Lucius died from an illness when Varis was still a young boy and he doubled down on the Ascian stuff.
Varis is his grandson. Zenos his great-grandson.
But I guess Varis counts as a psycho as well.
@@diamondedge83 I thought his son succumbed to illness?
"Lol, skill issue."
The burn (savage)
The Burn (Ultimate)
Gotta thumbs up for the Smiling Friends joke.
Incidentally, he could have hit him as Hades with the "you look like you're going to tell your friends not to come to school tomorrow" line
Emet-ional damage!
*Emet transforms into Hades*
WoL: "Woah, is that f*ckin blackface, dude?!?"
*This cutscene cannot be skipped*
Emet, under his breath. "You were my family... once..."
damn bro you didnt have to do him like that
Emet: "I have lived a thousand of your lives!"
WOL: "Cowabummer."
Bullying Emet Selch like a true Azem shard
Warrior of Light (Savage)
Damn you didn't have to kill him like that
But thanks, I had a hearty laugh 😂
After what he's been through, I'd venture to guess he'd bring about the final days himself if the WoL did that.
"Where's your wife? Go home to your family!"
Uhhh, WoL, that's kinda what he's doing. His Hyth-bo is waiting.
And they call Emet a villain… 😢
If you think about it hard enough, WoL is the real villain of the story.
@@Xport9I just finished ARR 2 days ago. . . I don't think I'm ready for this 😳
@@Xport9The real villian was Venat.
With each vid the animation gets way better and funnier 🤣
"Go home to your family, dude."
Jesus christ man you killed him.
His wife is dead, his grandson is dead and his great grandson only cares about fighting the Warrior of Light. He has no family. Only the past to comfort him. 😢
Go back to his wife n family. Insert Trauma from the Sundering for him.
I thought he was gonna do the Kevin Hart “Damn!” to Don Cheadle bit after Emet said “a thousand, thousands of your lives”
He then willingly walked through the blaze because he knew.
“Well, I mean, I'm not that old.”
“You are getting kind of old, dude.”
SUCH DEVASTATION!
Gotta love seeing the big bads getting trolled.
kinda makes one wonder what Gaius would think if he ever met Emmet.
Or Nero, for that matter.
(...still always pray for that hammer to fall on his foot in the cutscene)
So... the funny thing about that is that technically they both very much did. In fact, Gaius was closer to him than Varis. They just knew him as Solus.
@@saralovelace7219 while technically true, they met “Emperor Solus”, not “Emet Selch”, and it would be interesting to see them react to the mask off.
I also hope it would fall on him, at least once. Maybe as an April Fool's joke.
They did know and meet his Emperor Solus persona, but I was admittedly waiting for the opportunity to reveal from the end of Shadowbringers to at least some of the Garleans who he really was. Yeah, maybe not to the desperate civilians we meet in Endwalker, that would be a tipping point straight into despair, but people who could take the news like Gaius, Nero, Cid… I feel they ought to know he built their perfect Empire to crumble in the end so they can at least learn what not to do as they rebuild their nation.
Also you failed not just at your job but also to raise a functioning family.
"You *were* my wife!" - Some people's headcanons.
More like MANY people's headcanon.
Smiling friends reference in Shadowbringers was not something I was expecting
Emet Selch: Says the Soon-be-killer of your friends.
The true reason he tried to kill the WoL and the Scions later
One of those times Emet wished he wasn't immortal
Now do the "Woah, is that fucking blackface dude?" When he turns into Hades lmao
Those last few frames showing the pain in Emet's face are top notch.
"Where's your wife? Go home to your family, dude!"
It's bad enough for Emet, but if you told that to Lahabrea, I think he would genuinely start crying.
bro been trying to go home 😭 😭
Leave him alone , let him scold me 😭
Ngl Emet was annoying at first, but as shadowbringers went on i was constantly like “what is this guy’s game plan?? He just shows up and like pokes us a bit and then leaves” then i was like damn bro this is deep…. Like tempest lvl deep
I’m Final Fantasy 14, and this is deep
Somehow I don't feel like laughing...
Another great one. Keep em coming.
Man, I too would welcome death after something like that.
"Kids these days" *dramatic sigh*
Emet: My family is dead!
WoL: Exactly lol!
We need more RPG dialogue options where the protagonist just gaslighting the villain.
You may want to look up what gaslighting actually means.
burning with a gas flamethrower?
burning with a gas flamethrower?
Than Emet hits 'em with the "That's what I'am trying to do, bring them back into existance!"
i like the face of emet after meteor tell him to go to his wife it just scream " SHE DEAD METEOR.....MF"
Such devastation
But Venat looks so young and beautiful, I totally not notice how old those ancient people are.
I once called Venat the Jenifer Lopez kind of older woman.
In Elpis Hades does have a million less lines on his face so most of his seething is under his skin.
@@Wastingsometimehere I wonder that if 1 kick split you to 14 piece, each part are about 7%. Then how much of you remain if you got second kick.
The WoL wasn't saved at The Seat of Sacrifice after that
His grandson and great grandson aren't really on speaking terms with him though. Poor guy.
HE'S TRYING TO T-T
Y'Shtola and Ryne covering their mouths while WoL is roasting Emet Selch and then busting out laughing kills me
Never stop being awesome BeneG, you're the only decent short hand FFXIV content creator
Oh, this made my Sunday lmao
Perfect animation as always 👏
Living up to the profile pic I see.
This genuinely made me sad :( good vid tho
I want to laugh hysterically and hug Emet-Selch all at the same time. Our relationship is strange.

You just unlocked "The Dying Gasp" Savage with minimum ilvl. Have fun.
I too would be upset if I couldn't go back to my beautiful and based wife, Hythlodaeus.
THATS WHAT HES TRYING TO DO
They didn't.
This shit hits hard
I like how the girls have manly laughs too
In context, this is extremely sad and cruel to say to Emet. :(
Annd BeneG dos it again! :P GOOD video!
"where's your wife?"
Hythlodaeus on the moon*
*Emotional Damage*
Suddenly Emet-selch doesn't seem to be the bad guy now.
Why this video make me still laugh after 20 time. Is my brain broken or something. A rude, Dumb and edgy WOL is perfect.
Not even bahamut could deliver such a blow to him.
To think, this coulda prolly be avoided if he had a doobie back then, and chilled the fuck out.
I should start smoking.
Maybe then the other guys will think I'm cool.
I did not expect that! Btw great job!
"Dude where is your wife, go home to your family."
Thats the problem, HE IS TRYING TO DO THAT.
That dynamis would have ignited on the spot

Emtotional damage...
THAT'S A CRITICAL HIT!...
IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!
Was wondering where the reference was going to come in with that pfp of yours
I've seen Smiling Friends way too many times to not absolutely adore this. 10/10
I like to think this leads immediately to the "That Emet Scene" video
The vape hit really makes it
As a reflex, everytime I hear someone call another person old, the "You're old" song from SpongeBob plays on my mind, it made the credits epic.
On a quick rewatch the family burn was sick.
That is perfect meme there
Seeing how he mops the floor with the scions 20 minutes later, i can just picture the whole team adhering to the walls like pasta 10 seconds later
Either that, or Emet telling his mom and dad about it once he gets back home.
i am now watching the shadowbringers credits
I love rotoscope warrior of light
I clicked so fast after i saw a new Bene G short
Emet’s facial expressions are just great lol
Then Emet snaps his fingers and the Warrior Of Light has to wear adult diapers for the rest of eternity.
When the generational politics peak XD
