Sometimes I worry for Alex. Currently, he's a young lad who sees that people love his levels, and gives the people what they want. But what happens if, as he grows older, he realizes that the love was somewhat ironic, but doesn't realize that the love was also real (because the plussy community is fucked like that)? And what happens if minecraft; the way home becomes a millstone around his neck that follows him long after he outgrows Mario Maker and/or minecraft; the way home? What happens if BOTH of those scenarios happen? Alex, on the slim chance you're reading this, be it now or years in the future, please don't get upset. The plussies don't love you and your levels because "haha we like bad levels ironically". Above all, the reason your levels are so loved is because they remind us of what it was like to create stuff (with legos or markers or whatever) when we were young. Your levels aren't the Mario Maker equivalent of scribbles that get pinned to the fridge just to let the kid feel special. Your levels are rough around the edges, and some of the design choices are questionable, but they are huge in scope and have are built with a clear vision in mind, and they're polished enough for that scope and vision to be visible. Whatever you do in the future, I hope you hold onto that creative ambition.
The consumer/creator relationship is a weird one, because one spends hours laughing and enjoying themselves with the others, and the other has no idea who the one is
I just realized the great story behind Minecraft;defeat the kidnaper, because Bowser is always the one kidnapping Peach, and Alex put that level at the end of the worldd so you actually rescue Pech from the kidnaper! ;
Alex the 9 and Alpharad have an out of court settlement with Disney where Disney gets all the copyrights and Alpha gets to be the “twin” spider-man in the next movie, which alex gets a cameo in
Space Bean A time-travel heist where future Spider-Man (Jacob Rabon IV) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) have to steal something unimportant so that the world doesn’t butterfly effect into a dystopia
Well Plussies; we did it; we;ve been traveling on the way home for a whole year Now there is absolutely NO reason to make Super Worlds; this is the peak of Worlds right here
I get that Josh is a real person, like Tyler, but every time they say Josh I'm a little disappointed they didn't refer to him as Ellie's mom's daughter's dad's youngest son's older brother. Or Ellie's dad's wife's son. Or just Ellie's brother.
I agree. It's kind of refreshing to see a UA-camr acknowledge that you're just a random stranger on the internet to them; they appreciate that you enjoy and support what they do but that personal connection is not (and most likely never will be) there.
I’m waiting for BDG to make an entire analysis on Alex’s level design and his philosophy. The kidnaper isn’t Bowser. It’s a representation of restricting levels.
They say that, but then get offended when people tell them to have a consistent upload schedule on Twitter. I'm genuinely so confused, I love their content because their bits are fucking funny, but then they can't deal with the repercussions?
8:2017:2821:0622:1532:13 Damn; these are the only levels Jo & Friends didn;t like I can;t believe they DIDN;T give *_minecraft; the way home 2_* a like
ngl the way I laughed about the Valentine's Sonic Bit was by inviting my friend (who was unaware of the joke) to see it on Valentine's Day as a "date" and it was the funniest thing I probably will ever do
The speedrun with a softlock category was super mario odyssey. You clip inside a door that you cant open from the other side in cap kingdom. Its only a couple of minutes.
probably more people know about him than his levels; because everyone who sees his levels in al alpharad;alpharad deluxe video sees his account too; but he probably had irl friends that dont know he plays mario maker edit: thanks for the reddit gold kind stranger
Wait, Its been a year again? I'm just glad to be here man! Can I just say, that you guys are anything BUT arrogant. I like your guys for your awesome mentality and your humor on UA-cam. The way you guys just go out of your way in daily life and games to just shit on things, just for the sake of: "Because its funny" just makes my day. If I were to meet you two in real life, I'd only want one thing: For you guys to have a good time (and you know, maybe have a music jam together or something, idk). Thanks for Alpharad, Alpharad plus and all the other things you guys do!
So the whole "Oh you got that UA-cam money" thing happens no matter what industry you're in. I've gotten "oh you've got that military money" and before that "Oh you've got that Gas station money" when I offered to pay for people. And I assure you, all your internet fame means to me is that if I meet you and I've got the cash on me in the moment, I'll buy you a beer, maybe two. Or a coffee if you don't drink.
Can’t wait for the Alex the 9 colab! So many amazing creators coming together to bring us a few minutes of happiness that we’ll remember for a lifetime
Watching this again in 2021, that discussion about bits being taken too far was really haunting, almost like a premonition of what was to come.This is my favorite youtube channel, I love
Nothing is truly original, everything always has something it is based on. "Good artists copy, great artists steal." Great artists take things and make it their own, they take the inspiration.
Last part of the video genuinely a great look into the mind of those who are conventionally idolized and loved. Really great that this honest and incredible soul searching discussion was done over top of the semi-ironic juxtaposition of the respectful idolization and adoration of an unconventional idol figure. Why is it that when I come to your channels looking for an innocent funny time I view something that borders on art?
it's honestly kinda nice for them to just say "actually we don't know you, and we're not buddies or friends, it's nice that you're watching our videos but we don't have a connection past the producer-consumer relationship"
If Super Paper Mario finds it acceptable to have to beat it's hardest dungeon twice, then Alex the 9 making us ride his train twice is exceptional level design!
I've figured it out. Alex the 9 is a kid that bases levels off his LIFE. As a kid, he was kidnaped, and was able to escape by riding a train to find his "way home". When he got back home, he grew up to be a strong 10 year old. He then travelled on a sky train back to where his kidnaper lived. He then took revenge by "defeating his kidnaper". but then it was time to once again,"find his way home". Thank you, Alex the 9. you're a good man, and a role model to all of us. You taught us that when trouble finds us, we can always find our way home. :')
I like your philosophy with the connection you wanna have with your fans because it's better than having the toxicity that many youtubers' fanbase have
I take after Jacob's humor and mentality a lot, him talking about his paradigm shift is really inspiring. I've lost friends over dumb things I said ironically, but it helped me realize how toxic they were to my mental health. Follow you're dreams;

Chiken is good no, it’s the fact that you mentioned the shitty friends made along the way, because no friends were even made at all in any adventure
Are you saying that Alex the 9's train isn't a real train
When Alex grows up, he’s gonna be talking to his friends and saying “I was Alex the 9” with pride.
"I was Alex the 9"?????!?!1, he will still be Alex the 9 till the end of time and beyond that!!!
He is and he will be a legend. He was truly ahead of his time.
I wonder if he's even seen these videos. I hope if he has, Joe and Jacob can pin a comment of his.
Coolest Idiot That ever memed obviously he has
Coolest Idiot That ever memed they were supposed to collaborate but Alex had his account hacked
Instead of it being "bad level design", it's more like he is designing his levels to be open world.
So... He's trying to make a Metroidvania?
Finally someone gets it. That’s what makes Alex the 9 levels so good.
@@CanalBillCast Maybe.

I unironically love Alex’s levels. You can feel the amount of heart that he put into them :)

Yes
Nobody ironically likes his levels. They are masterpieces

his levels are obviously work he’s proud of, he put effort, heart, and soul into them.
Sometimes I worry for Alex. Currently, he's a young lad who sees that people love his levels, and gives the people what they want. But what happens if, as he grows older, he realizes that the love was somewhat ironic, but doesn't realize that the love was also real (because the plussy community is fucked like that)?
