Murder Drones' role and impact on indie animation cannot be understated. This show had forever cemented itself as a fundamental pillar that helped establish GLITCH on the map, helped give countless people jobs, created an environment for the fans to all gather and collaborate, and gave us one of the best animated series to ever exist. Thank you, Murder Drones.
It's by no means a masterpiece. And given more time for liam to cook with the story and characters he could've delivered something truly special, but idgaf, the last episode has nightcore music to the backdrop of a 20 minute fight scene with badass on a crumbling planet. It's cinema in the same way a marvel movie is cinema, it's leave brain at door fun with a mystery to keep you coming back for more. Love this show 👍
I hate the mistakes of this show so much... but i love the rights so much more that my liking for this show leaves me so damn confused! Like, yeah, the finale didn't even feel like a finale at all, but V'S THEME GOT A FULL GODDAM BASS-SYNTH SOLO!!! THAT'S SO COOL LIKE ITS A SYNTH SOLO THATS A BASS! AND THE END OF IT HAS A SLAP BASS SYNTH ITS SO COOL
@@sonicorange9050Yeah no tadc isnt even close. Ive spent litteral days just rewatching murder drones and Liams content from his past. While tadc is just kinda mid tbh.
@@buh-buh-cat Ima be real with you the writing is kinda just mid like its trying to leave the tinies crumb of info so it can drag out the show for as long as the attention it has can follow it.
Spent an entire day rewatching episode 8 when it came out. Liams creations are just too damn good I just cant get enough of it, even digging through archives of stuff forgotten by most.
I’ve been excited for this review! Before listening, I will say, MD is a hard series to review because so many of it’s faults are also its strengths. But, I am so glad Liam and Glitch decided to be bold and risk some loose ends and cringy moments to get some hilarious moments and fascinating lore rather than just playing it safe.
Let's face it, Liam always loved fake out deaths.(Gets instant design flashbacks). It's the reason why I never even belived in V sacrificing herself. Lol of course she's alive. So yeah decent vid as always. Bye👍
It kinda bugged me that there was no “ultimate cost” or sacrifice. Nobody significant died. It doesn’t make it urgent or justified. The happily ever after ending is just out of place for what the rest of the show was going for. It would’ve been cool if uzi had to blow herself up with cyn or something in order to save the world. Like how tari, the main character, had to sacrifice herself at the end. Everone just gets away scott free My honest reaction is: “Oh, that’s it? That’s the ending? Okay… :/“
I do appreciate everyone getting to live happily ever after, but I absolutely agree that it would've been SO much better if we had gotten a few major deaths. There were a lot of missed opportunities for characters to make the sacrifice play, and the ending would've definitely had more of a lasting impact if they had gone for it.
Murder Drones, a show so imperfect that it is perfect. From an objective and narrative point of view. The show ain't much. Characters didn't grow, the plot is confusing and at time quite rushed. But at the same time, would everyone still love the characters and the show if it were a masterclass in writing. My favourite character is N and the fact he remained a wholesome idiot till the end makes me love the character even more. The same goes for Uzi, the gremlin energy she gives up is why people found love in the character, you can't have Uzi grow out of it as that is what makes Uzi well Uzi and why people love her
N stole J's dropship to get Uzi, its why Cyn smashed it back down to her and why she was holding a note when we jump cut to her. Also. The sentinel V was riding had a new primary objective given by 'Tessa': Be a good dingo
i feel like the biggest mistake in MD was Liam being a bit too ambitious and trying to cram a show that wants at least 24 episodes into 8, i do genuinely like the show it's just that there was a lot left to explore that just wont be
I have so many good things for this series and I will be doing a video of the series. I wont be as gentile, with this episode when I talked about it, BUT I DONT CARE, if I can go back in time and I could chose if watching this show or not, I would definately take this ride again, I DONT REGRET WATCHING THIS SHOW AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO SEE IT. And I cant wait to see liams future projects considering all he might have learned from this, the same from glitch. Like I did with Scott Cawthon, I can only say. Thank you glitch Thank you Murder Drones and Thank you Liam vickers.
I don't know. I'll always defend the direction that they took J. I think it was poorly utilized, and so much could have been done to make J's motives better, (and the fact that I think she should have been shocked to see Cyn, and want to kill her in vengeance). But, from her perspective, J lost Tessa, the company, and all of humanity, all at once. She probably didn't gain her free will back until Earth was destroyed, as in N's flashback Him, V and J were all possessed by the solver. So, she had nothing to fight for. And then there's nothing she could do to fight back, as Cyn had control of J. So, Cyn made a deal with her (and later V) that if she helped Cyn on Copper-9 she would let her, V and N go free. So she could either help Cyn willingly with a bonus freedom, or stay Cyn's puppet forever. I don't think she realized she was tricked until ep. 6 when "Tessa" said "Mind my Ship" Meaning, planet destruction. That means the deal's been called off, but by this point it's too late to rebel. Rebllion will only cause destruction. The major issue, is just it's only ligthly hinted at, if it were more prominant, then this long-ass comment essay wouldn't be here. (Or if they just let J rebel to avange Tessa)
Was Episode 8 Absolute Cinema? Not really but kinda. Was this video Absolute Cinema? Heck yes. (You're ranking is also amazing, a bit HEARTbroken (see what I did ther- okay) that Heartbeat was in 6th place but at least it wasn't 7th or 8th and you said you really loved it so I'm not mad at all, you're ranking is quite similar to mine so that's why I'm praising it lolsies)
Murder drones is so good, that even having a lot of downsides, it still very, VERY GOOD, wich show can have the most amount of problems and still be 8/10 ? None, MD wins then. MD changed my life, changed all ours lives, cant say more than thanks for everyone, for you tyro, for the others MD focused channels, for the theories, for Glitch, for Liam, thanks for giving me the BEST entertainment of my life, i will never forget any one of you, and thanks Liam for creating the best character in all fiction.. yes... DOLL, LIAM YOU WASTED THE INFINITE POTENTIAL OF THE CHARACTER YOURSELF HAVE CREATED, but i forgive you, even being wasted in the MD show, Doll is still perfect, and the best character written in the entire world, and even if no one understand her, i understand, and i will FIGHT BACK FOR HER, I WILL AVENGE HER, JUSTICE WILL BE MADE FOR MY DOLL
Murder drones episode 8 is fun and pure entertainment. Its pleasing to look at with charming characters and also funny Jokes. Like you said if it was rated objectively it would probably be one of the lower rated episodes but to be honest who really cares about that, its fun cute and also has a happily ever after ending
Great video, this series has been amazing. I think the silliness of episode 8 might’ve been intentional, since Liam is a pretty silly guy from what we’ve seen.
The disrespect towards doll wasn’t funny, in fact it pissed me off more than anything. I hope we get a spin-off show, or a few mini episodes to fill in loose ends. Or at the very least a comic. I might be coping but maybe Liam is just postponing season 2 just to take a break. Once again I’ve said this a million times, but episode 8 would be 1 trillion times better if there was just 10 minutes more runtime. Imo Liam bit off more than he could chew with the this series, and I REALLY feel like it would it would benefit MASSIVELY from a second season. It doesn’t make sense to me why Liam would only have one season of the show.
Most of the series was building up a mystery, but since they probably didn’t get enough time to properly tie it all together they chose to go with a bang, which was probably the better thing to do
I started watching indie-animated shows after I first saw Murder Drones, seeing it teased in SMG4. Since then, this has been one of the best shows I have ever seen, even if the plot is a bit messy.
i loved this show and still do i still really hope for a season 2 or spinoff for it but i gotta thank liam and glitch for making it and im glad i was part of it from the very first trailer release it was amazing and ill always hope for more of it even though who knows what will happen but overall its a extremely great series and ill always love this series thank them again for making this and it will forever be with me and i wonder what the future of murder drones or what liam will do will go
The last episode had some of the worst, unfitting jokes, the lamp shading was done too hard. The people who died didn't deserve to die, and Cyn didn't even really lose anything other than a body. The last episode didn't feel like 'fans get what they want', it felt like jangling keys in front of a small child to distract them. I was in a watch party with 20 people and all of them decided they can't recommend Murder Drones to anyone after the last episode. Most of us went "That's it?" "What a nothing burger".
We still have some hope that glitch says something to clear the misinformation about more content. (I’m a hazbin fan so I know how it feels when you don’t know if something will survive, best is to just wait and see what happens)
THIS IS JUST ME RAMBLING AHH, DONT TAKE THIS TO ACCOUNT LOL. If you got a problem with it, then BITE ME ( jk. maybe. lolz ) The show was great. Yeah, has ups and down, but you can’t say you didn’t enjoy it. Me personally, I love themes, the main idea, yk? I also like the themes they had with ep 8 mostly. Like how Uzi carries the trauma with her at the end of the episode ( literally being the solver, the trauma of ALMOST ALL THE CHARACTERS.). Kinda shows how you can yk, heal from it, but it’s never gonna go away. J vs. V fight was symbolic, how one is fighting for survival ( J, knowing there is no escape, even in death, so why try to fight back? ) while the other is fighting for care ( V fighting for Uzi and N, and wanting the best of it for them. Yeah, V and Uzi care about each other now y’all. ) Uzi by herself is just a theme of just trying to embrace and accept yourself honestly ( best character and best protagonist, so glad Liam didn’t rewrite her so differently, unlike MANY OTHER FEMALE PROTAGONISTS I’VE SEEN IN SHOWS…) Uzi and N being how you will have someone to fill in the gaps of your heart, and being there for one another. Doll is tragic, someone who had goals, but was never being able to reach them. A person who had goals, but was never able to accomplish them. Kinda makes it, bittersweet? But in a good way? Idk. N is someone who tries to make the better out of it, even in worse situations. I mean, he literally says repressed, so yeah. ( Just someone who doesn’t want to acknowledge or know the bad things basically, hence why he tries to be positive all the time. Hope they did more with it, but I understand the meaning of it.) I just like themes a lot. Kinda makes it beautiful. Ep 8 was basically a “ What would you do with your trauma? Right here, right now. “ and I liked it. Same goes for episodes, especially ep 4 & 5. ( I KNOW MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DIDN’T LIKE THIS EPISODE 5, but wait, just listen,) Ep 4 was about more like the characters feelings and how they are, goes more in depth. Uzi mostly peaked this ep, ( and probably the most relatable character). Ep 5 was how trauma affects your memories. You can’t remember specific things or events that happened, hence why the episode may have been so controversial, due to it not being a “ accurate episode. “ Perhaps we could’ve gotten another episode actually about ep 5, and what really happened. But ep 8 ( kinda? Not really, but kindaaa?? With the PTSD moment for N. ) That’s why they are MEMORIES. Memories affected by ur trauma ( this case the solver literally being the trauma and blocking things out. ) And for character growth, I see it a lot with how the characters are animated ( body language ) and dialogue ( example, N WAS affected by Cyn. We see him shaking, and in the next scene, we see Cyn walking towards N and Uzi, but due to the lighting, it looks like Tessa, showing and telling us that N may be looking at Tessa instead, hence why he couldn’t shoot right away. ) I just like digging deep into the scenes and how the characters body language is. ( Another in ep 4 when N is mad at V, his body language is outwards, bursting out, you know he is mad ). Or V, in the hallway scene ( ep 8 ) with her being scared and having her arms tucked in, scared expression. Or even Uzi, when she is being a menace, a little gremlin, her body language is OUT, she is everywhere, taking up space, but when she is scared/worried/anxious, her body language is tucked in, having the room not a lot of space. I think what ep 8 lacked was character interactions ( I wanted a lot of interactions, me personally. ) of course some plot holes are gonna be dropped, but I can see why some important ones, like The doorman family, I really wish we could’ve gotten that, but then again, due to timeline and Liam ( and I think some1 said about him dropping it and made it muddy so he wouldn’t get himself into a corner and won’t try to get out of it, is kinda understandable. ) having to cram stuff. I’m not sure why the episode was so short, I really hope it was slightly longer. Idk if the guy felt burnout , bc it’s not easy to write a show obviously, so I’m hoping we get a spin-off series at least( pls we need a Khan and Uzi ep, they deserve their own ep and I feel like it would be better if they have their own ep. ) or a comic manga, since they did that with meta runner. I definitely think what this ep lacked was character interactions and time. Majority of the eps are powered by the characters interactions. So I REALLY HOPE WE GET A SPIN OFF OR A BONUS EP, like an actual falling action for the characters after ep 8. Murder Drones was a great show, with its ups and downs. No show is perfect obviously ( except Bluey, Bluey is so awesome and perfect. ) Murder drones has a lot of potential, way more than what it now. But if Liam needs rest and ( hopefully) comes back to this project once more ( most unlikely, since they did say it is the finale, but still. Yeah I’m coping . ), then let him. Dude left an awesome mark on Indie Animation and probably inspired lots of other creators to do a lot of creative things with their projects. Perhaps maybe get back to his old projects. Liam creates an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FANDOM, like murder drones feels special ( I have been in other fandoms, but this one hits more lol. ) Thanks to Liam and Glitch. And thank you MD. OKI BYE ( THIS IS JUST ME RAMBLING, OR WHATEVER IDK .)
Don't worry, man! This doesn't have to be the end of Murder Drones on your channel. There's other fan content in the works that you can look forward to, such as "Insecurity" by Animate A Thing and "Strays" by Zander Russell. You should get hyped for those! The fanbase will never let this series die!
In my humble opinion. Watching Murder Drones from The ground up. it was a great series. with a (mostly) great community. watching it in all of its 8 episodes was a blast. but watching the absolute end made me felt... disappointed. it felt too short. and really left a bunch of plotholes still unsolved. But then again. its Liam Vickers. And from Watching All his Stuff. from SSTWL to LVA. im not sure why he decided to end it that way. Id love to hear opinion on this. since me myself. i see MD ending. as a chance for LVA to return. and for Liam to Finally Finish Part 4 of Internecion Cube. but thats just me rambling. id love to hear yours.
To be honest the runtime did ruin the episode 8. Now I don't mean episode 8 wasn't a waste of time, it's a good ending to the series. But it didn't have much time to explain everything about the entire plot, but at least they tried. I will stand to say ep8 is still great but it still has issues and could have been delayed far back at least in my opinion. If you agree with my opinion, thank you, If not, that's fine.
I always like to be generous and consider episode 7 and 8 as one big one. As that kind of was the plan for glitch? At least before the drama and subsequent delay. I’m really indecisive honestly for how I rank the episodes. But 7 and 8 together are kind of up there.
Personally I would rank the episodes: 8: ep5. I love this episode but I love the other episodes more 7: ep3. Love the episode but I don’t understand how people say it’s the best episode. It’s cool but how? 6: ep2. I love the “holo spooky snake crab”(eldritch j) 5: ep4. Uzi turns into a monster. Plus this episode had some of the best foreshadowing. 4: ep6. I find the sentinels pretty cool and this is when cyn starts really taking control of uzi. 3: ep1. I really struggled to rank these last 3 because the pilot was amazing. 2: ep8. This episode had some of the coolest and creepiest parts in the show. It’s the episode that made me like this version of cyn and made me like the sentinels even more. Oh and the fight was really good 1: ep7. This episode is my favorite partly because it had some of the funniest jokes in my opinion but mostly because of the flashback of earth and the fight scene at the end. All in all I would describe this series as a bounding hubskerfufel.
Murder drones was good. Few scruples but it doesn’t take away the actually experience. I can see why people were disappointed and stuff, but yeah. I just feel like if we had at least +10 mins or an extra episode, that would be great. ( pls Liam, it would help a lot more ). I’ll acknowledge the negatives for the show, but I’ll still love it. It can help others of what TO DO and NOT to do when writing and making show :) .
14:58 …..As some one who is a die hard MR fan….screw this moment in particular. Edit: This doesn’t have to be the end of you talking about it. You didn’t talk about the romance nor did. You really go deep into the characterization. Those are two videos you can make right there.
@@Tyromaniacthey didn’t nerf the Solver( Cyn or whatever lol ) , Cyn was just playing around. They even showed her blowing up the planet and use those weird tentacles. They had Uzi, N and V fighting the solver seriously while it was just smiling.
@@Uzyvan6 no te entendí ni un Carajo pero igualmente Te explico el echo del nerfeo de Cyn Si me vienen en un cap donde puedes de dar a explicar todo de un personaje que es muy solo de "deborar mundos y comer BALSBSLBSLS" es un nerfeo en su máxima expresión Que lo hagas todo estúpido en un solo cap solo para argumentar tu forma de estupidez de final La razón de su nerfeo es simple No vieron que más hacer porque de otro final En todos eran malos Una forma de buscar una cura en medio del caos me sonaba más razonable Que el echo de que solo por confianza y fe de Cristo Rey puedas vencer a una manipuladora creadora de ejércitos qué devora mundos por lo más rico de su vida y siendo muy MUY MUY sádica que pensar que se ponga a pelear con espsditsd suena lógico Porque no lo es Una persona en esa mentalidad más pensaría en descuartizarlos de una vez ya que esa es su forma más de diversión Que ponerse a bailar con la gente y no más así por así Siendo yo una persona sádica y conociendo a otros que están peor del coco :v XD En fin La nerfearon
Ngl, I felt the episode had the weakest plot of any episode we've seen since episode 2. It didn't answer any of the questions we had, didn't develop anyone's character, and all around set the story back. Watching it felt like a robbery of my time.
I think what could've been good, is if it was a 2 parter, so there would be room for both lore/character development and fighting. We never really saw what happened with Nori. She just runs off after saving her husband, who barely even recognises her, and it's left like that. We never really know what happens to her. Not to mention, other than being Uzi's mum and kind of important to background lore, she doesn't even get anything else. We haven't even got to learn how Nori lost her body. Yes, it's told, multiple times by Khan that he lost his wife to the Murder Drones, but if she did, wouldn't they kill her heart/creature she was. Plus, how would she be able to go down to that secret bunker without being caught by the murder drones. Plus, we also never learned what happened to Mitchell (the human intern in episode 7), so theoretically, he could've died by the murder drones, or somehow have a kid. If I had a nickel for every time in this show if someone, suspected to be dead, had a secret child, I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Same, I feel that the writing gets so much shit cause of the way it's presented. MD really has a great story (at least from my view of it), but it admittedly is told in a very confusing and quick manner, hence the pacing criticisms. I know some didn't like certain choices in the story (like how Doll, Tessa, and J were handled) but it didn't feel like something that just COULDN'T work no matter the reason. Sure, a little more time could be used to expand on some scenes or add a few new ones (like for eps 5 and 8), however I think the way it was done with the little we got was incredible. Kinda makes me sad to see the show losing some people, but I can understand why.
Honestly, It feels like Teenage Goth Tech bros wrote a fanfic story, but it is actually original story , idk how to explain it better, but It was very confusing to me, it made 0 sense, from design to plot relevance, it is a mess, massive one, and it sucks because it's very interesting and original concept, with bit of polishing time and money and good talent, it would be great.
Murder Drones' role and impact on indie animation cannot be understated. This show had forever cemented itself as a fundamental pillar that helped establish GLITCH on the map, helped give countless people jobs, created an environment for the fans to all gather and collaborate, and gave us one of the best animated series to ever exist. Thank you, Murder Drones.

Murder Drones has become my new go-to example of how you don't always have to do something "objectively" well if you can just make it fun.
It kinda bugged me that there was no “ultimate cost” or sacrifice. Nobody significant died. It doesn’t make it urgent or justified.

I might be coping but maybe Liam is just postponing season 2 just to take a break.
Once again I’ve said this a million times, but episode 8 would be 1 trillion times better if there was just 10 minutes more runtime. Imo Liam bit off more than he could chew with the this series, and I REALLY feel like it would it would benefit MASSIVELY from a second season. It doesn’t make sense to me why Liam would only have one season of the show.
Great review
Most of the series was building up a mystery, but since they probably didn’t get enough time to properly tie it all together they chose to go with a bang, which was probably the better thing to do
Happy so see a show that revolutionized inde animation as a whole
I started watching indie-animated shows after I first saw Murder Drones, seeing it teased in SMG4. Since then, this has been one of the best shows I have ever seen, even if the plot is a bit messy.
i loved this show and still do i still really hope for a season 2 or spinoff for it but i gotta thank liam and glitch for making it and im glad i was part of it from the very first trailer release it was amazing and ill always hope for more of it even though who knows what will happen but overall its a extremely great series and ill always love this series thank them again for making this and it will forever be with me and i wonder what the future of murder drones or what liam will do will go
The last episode had some of the worst, unfitting jokes, the lamp shading was done too hard. The people who died didn't deserve to die, and Cyn didn't even really lose anything other than a body. The last episode didn't feel like 'fans get what they want', it felt like jangling keys in front of a small child to distract them. I was in a watch party with 20 people and all of them decided they can't recommend Murder Drones to anyone after the last episode. Most of us went "That's it?" "What a nothing burger".
Nah, ima be huffing copium until Liam decides to make more juicy content
I wish we got more episodes or more seasons
I'm okay leaving it at one season, but I think one or two more episodes to fill in the gaps absolutely would've been awesome
@@Tyromaniac agreed
We still have some hope that glitch says something to clear the misinformation about more content.
(I’m a hazbin fan so I know how it feels when you don’t know if something will survive, best is to just wait and see what happens)
For me, it was Piemations' Boomerang in a Gun Fight (Sheriff Hayseed) that made me take youtube's cartoon seriously.
THIS IS JUST ME RAMBLING AHH, DONT TAKE THIS TO ACCOUNT LOL. If you got a problem with it, then BITE ME ( jk. maybe. lolz )
The show was great. Yeah, has ups and down, but you can’t say you didn’t enjoy it.
Me personally, I love themes, the main idea, yk?
I also like the themes they had with ep 8 mostly.
Like how Uzi carries the trauma with her at the end of the episode ( literally being the solver, the trauma of ALMOST ALL THE CHARACTERS.). Kinda shows how you can yk, heal from it, but it’s never gonna go away.
J vs. V fight was symbolic, how one is fighting for survival ( J, knowing there is no escape, even in death, so why try to fight back? ) while the other is fighting for care ( V fighting for Uzi and N, and wanting the best of it for them. Yeah, V and Uzi care about each other now y’all. )
Uzi by herself is just a theme of just trying to embrace and accept yourself honestly ( best character and best protagonist, so glad Liam didn’t rewrite her so differently, unlike MANY OTHER FEMALE PROTAGONISTS I’VE SEEN IN SHOWS…)
Uzi and N being how you will have someone to fill in the gaps of your heart, and being there for one another.
Doll is tragic, someone who had goals, but was never being able to reach them. A person who had goals, but was never able to accomplish them. Kinda makes it, bittersweet? But in a good way? Idk.
N is someone who tries to make the better out of it, even in worse situations. I mean, he literally says repressed, so yeah. ( Just someone who doesn’t want to acknowledge or know the bad things basically, hence why he tries to be positive all the time. Hope they did more with it, but I understand the meaning of it.)
I just like themes a lot. Kinda makes it beautiful. Ep 8 was basically a “ What would you do with your trauma? Right here, right now. “ and I liked it.
Same goes for episodes, especially ep 4 & 5. ( I KNOW MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DIDN’T LIKE THIS EPISODE 5, but wait, just listen,)
Ep 4 was about more like the characters feelings and how they are, goes more in depth. Uzi mostly peaked this ep, ( and probably the most relatable character).
Ep 5 was how trauma affects your memories. You can’t remember specific things or events that happened, hence why the episode may have been so controversial, due to it not being a “ accurate episode. “ Perhaps we could’ve gotten another episode actually about ep 5, and what really happened. But ep 8 ( kinda? Not really, but kindaaa?? With the PTSD moment for N. ) That’s why they are MEMORIES. Memories affected by ur trauma ( this case the solver literally being the trauma and blocking things out. )
And for character growth, I see it a lot with how the characters are animated ( body language ) and dialogue ( example, N WAS affected by Cyn. We see him shaking, and in the next scene, we see Cyn walking towards N and Uzi, but due to the lighting, it looks like Tessa, showing and telling us that N may be looking at Tessa instead, hence why he couldn’t shoot right away. ) I just like digging deep into the scenes and how the characters body language is. ( Another in ep 4 when N is mad at V, his body language is outwards, bursting out, you know he is mad ). Or V, in the hallway scene ( ep 8 ) with her being scared and having her arms tucked in, scared expression. Or even Uzi, when she is being a menace, a little gremlin, her body language is OUT, she is everywhere, taking up space, but when she is scared/worried/anxious, her body language is tucked in, having the room not a lot of space.
I think what ep 8 lacked was character interactions ( I wanted a lot of interactions, me personally. ) of course some plot holes are gonna be dropped, but I can see why some important ones, like The doorman family, I really wish we could’ve gotten that, but then again, due to timeline and Liam ( and I think some1 said about him dropping it and made it muddy so he wouldn’t get himself into a corner and won’t try to get out of it, is kinda understandable. ) having to cram stuff.
I’m not sure why the episode was so short, I really hope it was slightly longer. Idk if the guy felt burnout , bc it’s not easy to write a show obviously, so I’m hoping we get a spin-off series at least( pls we need a Khan and Uzi ep, they deserve their own ep and I feel like it would be better if they have their own ep. ) or a comic manga, since they did that with meta runner.
I definitely think what this ep lacked was character interactions and time. Majority of the eps are powered by the characters interactions. So I REALLY HOPE WE GET A SPIN OFF OR A BONUS EP, like an actual falling action for the characters after ep 8.
Murder Drones was a great show, with its ups and downs. No show is perfect obviously ( except Bluey, Bluey is so awesome and perfect. ) Murder drones has a lot of potential, way more than what it now. But if Liam needs rest and ( hopefully) comes back to this project once more ( most unlikely, since they did say it is the finale, but still. Yeah I’m coping . ), then let him. Dude left an awesome mark on Indie Animation and probably inspired lots of other creators to do a lot of creative things with their projects. Perhaps maybe get back to his old projects. Liam creates an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FANDOM, like murder drones feels special ( I have been in other fandoms, but this one hits more lol. )
Thanks to Liam and Glitch. And thank you MD.
OKI BYE ( THIS IS JUST ME RAMBLING, OR WHATEVER IDK .)
Don't worry, man! This doesn't have to be the end of Murder Drones on your channel. There's other fan content in the works that you can look forward to, such as "Insecurity" by Animate A Thing and "Strays" by Zander Russell. You should get hyped for those! The fanbase will never let this series die!
In my humble opinion. Watching Murder Drones from The ground up. it was a great series. with a (mostly) great community.
watching it in all of its 8 episodes was a blast. but watching the absolute end made me felt... disappointed. it felt too short. and really left a bunch of plotholes still unsolved.
But then again. its Liam Vickers. And from Watching All his Stuff. from SSTWL to LVA. im not sure why he decided to end it that way.
Id love to hear opinion on this. since me myself. i see MD ending. as a chance for LVA to return. and for Liam to Finally Finish Part 4 of Internecion Cube.
but thats just me rambling. id love to hear yours.
To be honest the runtime did ruin the episode 8. Now I don't mean episode 8 wasn't a waste of time, it's a good ending to the series. But it didn't have much time to explain everything about the entire plot, but at least they tried. I will stand to say ep8 is still great but it still has issues and could have been delayed far back at least in my opinion.
If you agree with my opinion, thank you, If not, that's fine.
Episode 4 is my favorite
I always like to be generous and consider episode 7 and 8 as one big one. As that kind of was the plan for glitch? At least before the drama and subsequent delay.
I’m really indecisive honestly for how I rank the episodes. But 7 and 8 together are kind of up there.
It’s quite the comfort show.
Personally I would rank the episodes:
8: ep5. I love this episode but I love the other episodes more
7: ep3. Love the episode but I don’t understand how people say it’s the best episode. It’s cool but how?
6: ep2. I love the “holo spooky snake crab”(eldritch j)
5: ep4. Uzi turns into a monster. Plus this episode had some of the best foreshadowing.
4: ep6. I find the sentinels pretty cool and this is when cyn starts really taking control of uzi.
3: ep1. I really struggled to rank these last 3 because the pilot was amazing.
2: ep8. This episode had some of the coolest and creepiest parts in the show. It’s the episode that made me like this version of cyn and made me like the sentinels even more. Oh and the fight was really good
1: ep7. This episode is my favorite partly because it had some of the funniest jokes in my opinion but mostly because of the flashback of earth and the fight scene at the end.
All in all I would describe this series as a bounding hubskerfufel.
the episode is a 8/10 because we would have needed 2 more episodes to actualy wrap up the series.
Murder drones was good. Few scruples but it doesn’t take away the actually experience. I can see why people were disappointed and stuff, but yeah. I just feel like if we had at least +10 mins or an extra episode, that would be great. ( pls Liam, it would help a lot more ). I’ll acknowledge the negatives for the show, but I’ll still love it. It can help others of what TO DO and NOT to do when writing and making show :) .
The best show I’ve ever seen murder drones forever
I wonder who would be up to talking about this uprising of Indie Animation…
:clueless:
i wonder if you might want to do a re-lore Murder Drones video since episode 8 come out. it kind of shed some light to some stuff in the past
Nah. 2 and 5 were some of my favourites
14:58
…..As some one who is a die hard MR fan….screw this moment in particular.
Edit: This doesn’t have to be the end of you talking about it. You didn’t talk about the romance nor did. You really go deep into the characterization. Those are two videos you can make right there.
So when will you make a video on design
Ep4 was probably the best one and V is the best character
20:20 i choose the second option
Damn
Sadge
FINALLY ITS OVER!!!!!!!
Crucification.
You better give us another video
Oh I plan to, just not Murder Drones
@@Tyromaniacis it lbp content🧐
Yes, It was good.
Murder Drones is an animation that you will NOT forget it. You will come back to see it again.
Jokes on you, i already forgot
Not perfect. Still the best (in 3D at least).
Great video, but I won't stand for this Meta Runner slander.
I love Meta Runner too bro, I watched every episode on drop, but you gotta admit the relevancy is not there anymore
ep8 is fucking bullshit
I half agree, i think the episode is great but the ending to that episode is dogshit.
He said it was earth 😡
SEVENTSH COMENT
Nerfearon a Cyn y no diré más nada fokin gringos
I definitely felt like she should've been stronger, yeah.
@@Tyromaniacthey didn’t nerf the Solver( Cyn or whatever lol ) , Cyn was just playing around. They even showed her blowing up the planet and use those weird tentacles. They had Uzi, N and V fighting the solver seriously while it was just smiling.
Cyn didn’t take anything seriously and lost her heart
@@Uzyvan6 no te entendí ni un Carajo pero igualmente
Te explico el echo del nerfeo de Cyn
Si me vienen en un cap donde puedes de dar a explicar todo de un personaje que es muy solo de "deborar mundos y comer BALSBSLBSLS" es un nerfeo en su máxima expresión
Que lo hagas todo estúpido en un solo cap solo para argumentar tu forma de estupidez de final
La razón de su nerfeo es simple
No vieron que más hacer porque de otro final
En todos eran malos
Una forma de buscar una cura en medio del caos me sonaba más razonable
Que el echo de que solo por confianza y fe de Cristo Rey puedas vencer a una manipuladora creadora de ejércitos qué devora mundos por lo más rico de su vida y siendo muy MUY MUY sádica que pensar que se ponga a pelear con espsditsd suena lógico
Porque no lo es
Una persona en esa mentalidad más pensaría en descuartizarlos de una vez ya que esa es su forma más de diversión
Que ponerse a bailar con la gente y no más así por así
Siendo yo una persona sádica y conociendo a otros que están peor del coco :v
XD
En fin
La nerfearon
@@Uzyvan6 yeah
Nah ep1 is weak
699th like.
It was trash after episode 8 came out I liked it more before ep 8 came out idk why
Ngl, I felt the episode had the weakest plot of any episode we've seen since episode 2. It didn't answer any of the questions we had, didn't develop anyone's character, and all around set the story back.
Watching it felt like a robbery of my time.
14:35
I unironically thought you were about to say "World War 2"
Glad to know people could see the reference!
I think what could've been good, is if it was a 2 parter, so there would be room for both lore/character development and fighting. We never really saw what happened with Nori. She just runs off after saving her husband, who barely even recognises her, and it's left like that. We never really know what happens to her. Not to mention, other than being Uzi's mum and kind of important to background lore, she doesn't even get anything else. We haven't even got to learn how Nori lost her body. Yes, it's told, multiple times by Khan that he lost his wife to the Murder Drones, but if she did, wouldn't they kill her heart/creature she was. Plus, how would she be able to go down to that secret bunker without being caught by the murder drones. Plus, we also never learned what happened to Mitchell (the human intern in episode 7), so theoretically, he could've died by the murder drones, or somehow have a kid. If I had a nickel for every time in this show if someone, suspected to be dead, had a secret child, I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
16:22 I think of it as a masterpiece in entertainment value and good writing all around. But it's slightly not good enough to be perfect
Same, I feel that the writing gets so much shit cause of the way it's presented. MD really has a great story (at least from my view of it), but it admittedly is told in a very confusing and quick manner, hence the pacing criticisms. I know some didn't like certain choices in the story (like how Doll, Tessa, and J were handled) but it didn't feel like something that just COULDN'T work no matter the reason. Sure, a little more time could be used to expand on some scenes or add a few new ones (like for eps 5 and 8), however I think the way it was done with the little we got was incredible. Kinda makes me sad to see the show losing some people, but I can understand why.
6:46 YOU ARE NO LONGER MY FRIEND 🗣🗣🗣
ALSO WHYD U HAVE TO PUT ME FALLING DOWN 😑😑😑
idk, the scene goes hard
22:40 Finally someone giving the pilot the credit it deserves!
Pilot Gang 4 Life
15:00 I remember You're not alone
20:23 not gonna lie id put it lower
I’d say 4th is right for it. The action carries it above the half way mark in the rankings, despite the abysmal writing.
Originally I was gonna put it in 3rd, but I moved it one lower to account for recency bias and so far I feel happy with the 4th place ranking.
@@Tyromaniac fair
Honestly, It feels like Teenage Goth Tech bros wrote a fanfic story, but it is actually original story , idk how to explain it better, but It was very confusing to me, it made 0 sense, from design to plot relevance, it is a mess, massive one, and it sucks because it's very interesting and original concept, with bit of polishing time and money and good talent, it would be great.
