    I teach a Creative Narrative class and just last week I introduced my college students to your videos as a prime example of storytelling, especially since you can tell such compelling narratives without any dialogue. I remember being in sixth grade when I first saw "Animator vs. Animation" and I can only watch in awe at how incredible this journey has been. Thank you for this Odyssey.

    At first I was very confused by Agent's behaviour at 13:37, since he clearly had the ability to end the fight with TSC instantly at an earlier point, yet had actively chosen not to.
    Then Episode 11 aired and everything suddenly made sense. His grudge towards TCO is likely immense and he clearly saw TSC as an accomplice, so it makes sense that he'd go out of his way to personally fight them and get some catharsis by proxy. He didn't prolong the fight because of arrogance or overconfidence.

    An 8bit ninja, a cavepainting hunter, a sign fighter(who is animated with more choppy and stiff pose and I find it so damn cool) and a Stickman with the ability to harness photoshop.
    It’s such a clever way to diffirentiate the mercs and show their powers. Typically lackeys are hard to distinguish from each other but each of these guys are unique and it’s so cool!

    Something I noticed while TSC was originally trying to fend off the mercenaries, the specific things he created were actually poor matches against the three mercenaries he sent them against.
    For Ballista, he sent flying sharks at him. That’s crazy. The man is looks like he’s made for crazy. Maybe something cold and calculated that is able to adapt and punish his moves would be better suited to fight him.
    For Primal, he sent a rhino at him. Seeing from his strength and style of weaponry, he is the embodiment of ancient human hunters, which were proficient at killing large creatures. While he is able to deal with something big and tough, what about something small and plentiful? His strengths wouldn’t help all too much when there are just so many tiny things attacking him at once.
    For Hazard, he sent a bird. Just a bird. A normal bird too. While it did catch him off guard, it was only an ordinary bird that he was easily able to dispose of once he got his bearings. His image would depict dangers that, while sometimes sudden, are foreseeable. Maybe it would be beneficial to send something otherworldly and truly unnatural at him, that way, he would hopefully struggle at figuring out what to do against such a danger.
    I might be wrong on wether or not some of these would work, but it still interests me to think of what things would work better to fight against each mercenary.
    I got nothing on Agent, I’ve not seen enough of his capabilities to think of potential ways to fight against him.

    The clues were all there. I think we all knew the mercenaries were victims from TCO and TDL's rampage. Seeing it from their perspetive made it so much worse, so much more personal. TCO and TDL were victims too, but they chose to hurt others as well. The writing is phenomenal.

      @an-animal-lover 5 годин тому

      Well, agent was at any rate. We don't know the stories of the mercenaries or how they came to be met/recruited by Agent or Victim.
      I think there is actually a clue that the others have no personal stake in the vendetta. In "The Box" when Victim is whipping The Chosen One with the lasso, it cuts to the mercs outside once. Agent has no reaction, because, like Victim he has a personal grudge with The Chosen One for killing Mitsi (so they think, or at least being complicit in her death) while the mercenaries' expressions imply they are uneasy with what Victim is doing, or think he's taking it too far. If they were affected by the Newgrounds attack (and Victim or Agent probably would have filled them in on the further details) surely they would find it The Chosen One's beating cathartic?

    I like how the villains actually have their own unique style and personality. The pixel dude has an anime-like style. The bathroom/warning sign character is real Mr. Game-and-Watch vibes. The flip note sketch has a hunting warrior prowess. And then the more refined “it’s just business” aura. Really makes me excited to see how this develops and how enjoyable these fights are gonna be.
    Edit: The mercenaries are antagonists and so far have not shown signs of being a super mega evil villain corporation. The sketch is a cave man drawing, which makes much more sense than what I thought.

      I don't think they are from Adobe. While they have the toolbar from Adobe as some sort of "Toolbelt", they seem to be more like a Pivot Animator stickman. Since their limbs are straight stiff and the solid white head and flat angular glasses are something that would easily be done in the application. They seem to be using Adobe as more as a tool.

    Something that I've always been enamored by with this series is how much personality each character has-showcased most by their diverging interests and fighting styles. This is best shown in the Animation vs Minecraft playlist, since there's the most time into that and the most opportunities to give them all the tools to meld their interests and their fighting style. Despite this, most of the main 5 don't have that level of integration between interests and fighting style outside of AvM.
    Obviously TSC has the most screentime, and his signature creativity has been shown from their introduction in AvA4-both in terms of figuring out different ways to defeat Alan and in terms of integrating drawing-based summons. AvA4 and 5 both showcased the latent explosive energy buried deep inside of TSC as well, though it's clear that said energy is not readily available to them. Between this episode and Animation vs Math, we see exactly how TSC can figure out complex strategies from simple escalation in logic, and that translates well into their fighting style even WITHOUT Minecraft items. Animation vs Pokémon, Animation vs League of Legends… we see it everywhere. TSC is easily the most developed on this front.
    Second place is Yellow, actually. Yellow's love of engineering and coding shines through so well in Animation vs Minecraft, what with the redstone contraptions and the command blocks. But even outside of the world of Minecraft, we see Yellow's interest show itself in other places-Animation vs Arcade Games shows Yellow as effectively the main character for once, and they use their coding skills to great use for problem solving. And there's also the important point where Yellow was the only one capable of figuring out how to summon Alan in AvA5 to help TCO fight TDL. No, this isn't fully integrating Yellow's interests into their fighting style, but it's a lot closer than the other three. I can imagine Yellow continuing to be the one hacking into systems, disabling cameras, taking control of automatic defense weapons, maybe even being the one to figure out how to hotwire one or more of those weaponized vehicles from this episode (which are apparently potent enough to give TCO a lot of trouble).
    Red and Green are at similar levels of development outside of AvM. Red's personality does shine through in their impulsiveness and pioneer-level problem-solving (with how they're usually the first one to try some weird strategy that the others quickly adopt when those ideas work), but Red is much more known for their affinity for animals nowadays. Meanwhile, Green's personality shines a bit less than Red's, with Green being much more perfectionistic and show-offy; though it does bleed through with having the flashiest weapon in the sparing section of this episode, I feel that Green should be at least on par with TSC in hand to hand combat by this point. In both cases, their personalities and interests only vaguely inform their fighting styles outside of the Minecraft world, and I hope they can become much more fleshed out. (Red especially deserves a notable win, seeing how they tend to go down first in many confrontations.) Since TSC is currently captured, I would love for Red and Green to become the two main fighters of the remaining four; Green could be adept at utilizing pretty much anything as a weapon (harkening to how proficient they are with the fishing rod during combat), while Red could be the one with the most unwieldy yet strangely effective tactics (perhaps with the emphasis on being the one to strike first). In fact, maybe Red could show themself as the fastest of the four after this episode, at least marginally.
    And then there's poor Blue. In Minecraft, at least Blue can provide some incredibly potent support through potions and agriculture, both of which are easily accessible and weaponizable in the Minecraft world. Blue does also have some aptitude with ranged weapons, which is hinted at during the sparing match between the stick fighters and Alan, but that's so little compared to the others. Unless they begin specializing in ranged weapons specifically, I'm not sure how Blue's AvM specialty can be translated well into non-Minecraft situations. If anyone else has any thoughts about Blue, please let me know! I am at a loss with this one.
    Now, I'm bringing up Red, Green, and especially Blue as a criticism purely because of how many other stick figures that have been brought in so far. Purple quickly gained a reputation as an opportunist, using quite literally anything they can get their hands on to give them an advantage (such as the character ability files in Animation vs League of Legends); they were very quickly shown to be willing to cheat and fight dirty, which immediately sets Purple apart from the main 5. King Orange, meanwhile, is much simpler and brutish in their approach to combat, relying on their ability to simply overpower others and facetank what they can't (granted, we have not seen Orange outside of AvM, so who knows how that would translate). The Chosen One and The Dark Lord have similar powers, but their personalities shine in the level of efficiency and brutality they both have, with TDL having a bit more brutality than TCO; the virus powers in AvA5 also helped to better differentiate TDL from TCO.
    And then there are the four mercenaries(?) in this episode, who brilliantly showcased personality and style in their one fight against TSC. 'Flipnotes' has a style of overwhelming the target with a flurry of blows, which no other character has. Caveman really showcases low-tech weaponry and brutal strength. Stopsign is quite literally forced to be economical in motion, so that gives a feeling of deliberate control. And then Glasses is the one with the most screentime and personality shown, being both economical with tactics and being almost obsessive with taking control; I dare say that Glasses already developed a grudge against both TCO and TSC, which could be why Glasses went out of their way to personally embarrass TSC when they very much didn't have to. Point is, their personalities show loud and clear in their actions and fighting style.
    I know you put a lot of love and care into these characters. It's obvious, and I love your team for it! As such, I am very much looking forward to whenever the next part of AvA6 is completed. The ending of this part makes me think that the four fighting stick figures will be driving the plot forward, and I'm excited to see how all four of them will be further characterized outside of Minecraft-especially considering how outmatched they all currently are. But they've fought through seemingly insurmountable odds before, and I can't wait to see how they manage to do so here.

      I really love this. You clearly appreciate this character building thoroughly and I respect that 100%. Thank you for being so detailed in this, it helps me understand them even better as well (I’ve made similar observations).
      For Orange, I think he gives me the vibes of someone who isn’t very experienced (knowledgeable, yes, but not experienced) doing their best- the perfect way to describe them from fighting style to backstory. Orange’s tactics are very one-note, typically using Netherite in big hits, relying completely on large constructs. Which reflects his lack of experience perfectly, knowing what the best block is but not using every block to its fullest.

    I have a theory. Since who we likely see at the end is victim (who, for those who do not know, is the very first stick figure brought to life by Alan) even though it was thought they were deleted, this leads me to believe/theorize that there might be another stick figure alive: The Dark Lord. Since Victim somehow survived literal deletion, TDL may have survived the laser blast by TSC. Furthermore, if TDL is, in fact, alive, I believe that victim may be working for TDL, or it may be the other way around. Even if this isn’t what ends up happening, I believe victim’s goal is to become a god by taking TCO’s powers, and/or to seek revenge on Alan for trying to delete them.
    Unrelated, but It would be really cool to see Orange (King) and Purple appear as allies against victim and their workers. It’s possible, because we see the wanted poster for TCO in a short made by Alan Becker called “Cherry Blossoms” that purple is in.
    Sorry for the paragraph, this is just what I predict will happen in upcoming episodes of AVA.

    The music, the small details such as the reflections on the water, the bloom effect from TCO's flames, and even the creative use of popular stickman arts as the mercenaries with their own unique animations and skills! Alan Becker is truly a master artist with his craft! I especially loved how TSC didn't simply regain his OP powers (although it was awesome to see in AVA 5!) as TSC's current role as the weaponmaster of the group and limitless creativity suits his new power better!
    Hope to see the next one come out soon!

So he probably won’t do anything like that anytime soon. Or at least until AVA and AVM has a definitive ending ending and he has no other projects to work on.

Then they got badly injured when TDL and TCO attacked their city, almost dying after losing their arms and legs. Did Victim use some animating tools to heal and upgrade them by giving them new bodies? Their bodies and powers really look like nothing a normal Stockman could do.

      No, I think they are real mercenaries under victim and Agent's orders.

      I think ballista(pixel guy) made an appearance in victim's backstory, at the moment where rocket company had a 2 year anniversary and victim, mitsi were on the dance floor, I don't think most of these guys are under victim and agent's hands, I don't think they were paid either to catch tco, they all just wanted to avenge mitsi and animations/stick figures who suffered from tco, tdl's wrath on newgrounds and the internet.

      And yes, victim probably fixed the victims of the newgrounds incident with animation tools that he and his company had been experimenting for past years

    As stated by DJ on AvG, Alan is extremely good at telling stories without needing words to tell them. This new series + the other AvA + AvM has so much to unpack especially if you can see all the tiny details. Well done, Alan. Well done.

    The amount of characterics this legend of a man (and the rest of the team of course) can add to stickfigures is so fascinating. The four agents and the boss, WOW!

    my man seriously had a pause button and waited until the last moment to use it just because he could, damn, can't wait to see the rest of this series this is genuinely so amazing, also love the little bit of interaction between alan and the 5, it's always nice to see them hanging out

He could've also paused TSC in the time it took him to create the stick to try and whack him with. That ignoring any chances he might've gotten before the episode started and any i forgot
      when DJ comments about the pause alan also confirms that yes, he was just playing with them and not really taking it all that seriously, so he absolutely could've used pause before then and just didn't feel like it
