I expect Bob to be the comic relief character that’s really behind, like everyone else is tearing each other apart with Rex’s and quetz and yutys meanwhile he’s getting ripped apart by low level raptors and getting ganged up on by dilos
Yeah, in the OG Ark lore, Helena and Rockwell are friends during the island, but he comes to hate her when Mei Yin and her defeat the Broodmother without him. (someone feel free to correct me in the comments if I got that wrong
It was the Megapithicus, not the Broodmother. Broodmother was killed offscreen by a random bozo tribe that traded with Helena for her to have the key. Besides that, you're correct.
@@BrokenBoxProductionit also worries me abit. Them changing Johns origin to being on the island is gonna take a lot of lore out of the scorched earth ark. As well as Rockwell being evil from the very beginning completely kills the surprise twist they could of thrown in, seeing that Helena doesn’t realize just how far gone he is until they get to aberration and by that time it’s far too late
Rockwell (as far as I know from Neddy’s videos) was quite an abrasive character. Rude, had a bit of a superiority complex, sure, but he definitely wasn’t this evil so early on. That development originally began within the transition from The Island to Scorched Earth, if memory serves. Either way, this new take is still very interesting.
@@peterstoric6560considering the lore, he can't come back until after helena ascends to homo deus. but they did show him on scorched earth in the teaser ig
Only watched the first episode but was not expecting the gore lol so far so good! Wasn't expecting the big names for voice acting either. Big W for ARK
Dude i watched all 6 episodes this morning, i loved it for sure. I was a little thrown when Rockwell was already with Nerva right out the gate, The changes to the story have made sense so far though and i'm looking forward to the second part, i'm just hoping it's not too long until it drops. Certainly made me want to jump into ASA and collect the explorer notes some more to read through them again.
@@dinozavrizm4534 not exactly, without spoiling too much, he does still say he's "just saying what he wants to hear" regarding Nerva, so the character we know from the notes is still there, things just seem a little out of order compared to how we were introduced to him originally
Also the asian Girl saying Romans are slavors while asians also had slaves was just so cringe lmao. Also her calling him a murderer while we see flashbacks of her killing people made me face palm pretty hard.
I really like the animated series, but I reallly wanted it to be Mei Yin + Diana. I enjoyed reading how Mei Yin had that nickname for Diana and how they started to care more and more for each other. Who is Diana gonna have now? I hope there's a Diana at all. Another thing I wanted to see more of is The Island's economy and how Rockwell was high value off of his research and recipes alone. Nevertheless, I can't wait for the next episodes to release. P.S. I'll take Nerva's spear throw as a bit of a reference to Gerard's spear throw as Leonidas.
It make sense Vin character be in the animated series. At the end of the game of ASE when he spawns above the planet he says respawned again, so he was there in the arks some where
I just finished watching the show and I can say it was 100% worth the wait like this show is up there with arcane for me and the pack things they are doing like ok they cost money but they are also so cool like steampunk the best genre on the best map wildcard is winning me over again haven't loved ark this much since the early days
I thought it was good, definitely brought back those og ark feels that have been dwindling recently. I'm hoping the rest of the episodes pick up momentum though because they've laid the foundation for something pretty cool with that first episode. And Raas getting jump scared by the gunshot almost made me spill my coffee.😂😂
Apparently they have made rockwell super evil. Which isn't true to the lore as he turns evil through corruption. Will have to find out when I actually watch it though
Well I know he ends up being the Bad Guy in the Game Lore when you get to the Aberration DLC when he also end up becoming mutated beast but if they're just making him evil out of the start it kinda does feel like they want evil person for political reason story telling which if thats the case that kinda turns me off.
My only gripe is the characters are fluent in each other's language. That shouldn't be necessary since the implants are supposed to be translators, like Green Lantern power rings.
Thank you wildcard I appreciate you gatekeeping the series you promised two years ago which has been finished and ready to ship for a whole year and shadow dropped. Im so glad I waited only to find out I cant watch it.
@@mariansalva4870 I just find it so dumb that we wait for like 3 years AFTER it was meant to release initially, and then when they shadow drop it its for one fairly small part of the world considering the amount of people who play ark
My god I would hate to watch a movie with you. You literally screamed through the whole thing. But seriously I loved this whole series. I had to watch the whole thing in one sitting. I couldn't pull myself away. Definitely not a kids show. The blood and gore was real. But the story was fantastic. The did the characters such great justice. Love the animation. The music, The action. Awesome. And every minute there was another call back to playing the game. I hope this show never ends. Thank you ARK Gods for giving us this.
I loved it. i have over 1k hours but never bothered with lore. But this is fabulous. its pleasantly violent. the music. i definitely felt something when she washed up on that beach that we all know and love.
I just watched it on that paramount+ twitch channel.... i cried a bit! It was so wonderful! I love every little bit about it! Can't wait for April 19th!!! I am counting the days.... and get myself a sub for the 4th streaming platform.... that's what we work for, right? To spend money on such things :D! But I WISH they would release it on bluray so that we can watch it ever and ever again!
Loved the animated series!! Binge watched all 6 episodes today. Karl Urban as Bob?? Incredible. Wish there were more bazaar Bob antics but it does have a bit of a serious tone, so I get it. 10/10 Can’t wait for more.
The story writing I thought was brilliant. The artwork of the dinosaurs however leaves something to be desired. The raptors particularly look strange. If that was a Rex Minerva was riding, it was difficult to tell. Some of the other Dinos looked pretty good but I was notably disappointed in some of the dinosaur design.
man the season was soooooo good cant wait for the 2nd season also the last episode of the season and the reveals were freaking insane love the reaction btw
If Paramount think we're gonna play by the rules on this they are mistaken. I would happily pay for the subscription to watch this in Australia right now. But the delay means many might not pay at all. Which sucks for the creators. When is the Blu Ray out?
Raas, I love the series. Best thing to come outta Wildcard in a long while. Love they didn't stick to Canon, best part of the series IMO. Series invokes a wide range of emotion, so far, just like playing the game. I WANT MORE!!!!!
I just watched the first 6 episodes on paramount plus and amazing. Cant wait for the next few episodes. Trailer for the next ones sbowed scorched earth and abberation but im assuming much much further down the line
@SoalRaptor exactly my thoughts, however, after ep 4 it got significantly better, including animation. The first 3 were a little too fast paced, but not too bad
Try Kodi? You will need a build for it to get links, just research it on Google, works for me, was able to watch episode 1, but no links for episode 2 yet
In the US on Paramount+ the first 6 episodes are up. I think outside of the US, only the first episode is up with the rest dropping globally on April 19th if I recall.
Honestly the animation and fights were great. The story and writing however was not. Which is unfortunate. Completely rewriting the original story and some of the characters was not a good move. Seemed like they had ideas but where to afraid to commit.
bro like do you know how long i wanted to see bob punching a dodo just him to die in the dumbest way possible EDIT:BOB IS RETURNING IN PART TWO SO YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I don't like what they did with the characters (Rockwell in particular) or how they changed important narrative steps. Sadly I'm not a fan of the show.. and i really wanted to be. Ark is one of my favorite games and i love the original story.
So I feel like the writing in the storyline was good overall and the voice acting was good. However, I would've been more interesting if they did it based on the actual story of ark and the original notes. I tend to agree with that but overall they're making up a new story now and yeah it's not bad.
I can see them respawning bob for every episode, hopefully they do. Like Kenny from south park his death is gonna be a part of every episode lol
They can't respawn. The respawn function of the arks was created by Helena when she became a homo deus
I expect Bob to be the comic relief character that’s really behind, like everyone else is tearing each other apart with Rex’s and quetz and yutys meanwhile he’s getting ripped apart by low level raptors and getting ganged up on by dilos
Nobody in ark can respawn until after the events of extinction iirc
@@Cypher84XI can attest to the truth of this, unfortunately
Bros dead dead. Respawns don't exist yet
Yeah, in the OG Ark lore, Helena and Rockwell are friends during the island, but he comes to hate her when Mei Yin and her defeat the Broodmother without him.
(someone feel free to correct me in the comments if I got that wrong
Yeah, they removed a lot of depth from Rockwell.
@MarcusBuer it greatly saddened me... where is archimedes and the slow decent into madness. Also the rex looked pretty bad :(
I feel its a worthy sacrifice because of how crazy OP they made Nerva.
It was the Megapithicus, not the Broodmother.
Broodmother was killed offscreen by a random bozo tribe that traded with Helena for her to have the key.
Besides that, you're correct.
@@BrokenBoxProductionit also worries me abit. Them changing Johns origin to being on the island is gonna take a lot of lore out of the scorched earth ark.

Bob's death surprised me at the time, I didn't think he would die like that
it was so brutal too. I'm a little surprised by how brutal the deaths are in this cartoon. I guess I shouldn't be, considering how the game is.
Rockwell (as far as I know from Neddy’s videos) was quite an abrasive character. Rude, had a bit of a superiority complex, sure, but he definitely wasn’t this evil so early on. That development originally began within the transition from The Island to Scorched Earth, if memory serves. Either way, this new take is still very interesting.
I cant beleive they ended bob that early on😂
it really set the tone for the whole thing lol
His names bob lol, he probably gonna be like kenny who dies everytime but comes back somehow
Considering the lore, he should be able to respawn pretty easy. Though obviously the show isn’t an exact 1 to 1
he no come back until Scorched Earth
@@peterstoric6560considering the lore, he can't come back until after helena ascends to homo deus. but they did show him on scorched earth in the teaser ig
Bro Bob died so fast like come on man
just like a bob would.... overconfident and complacent
The moment he goes inland he dies, a true Bob
hes coming back
he will be back :)
Just like the games
They did my boi Bob dirty.
I was watching the episode with my sister (a fellow Ark player) and we literally screamed Bob's name when he died. That was so unexpected.
im loving David tenant already more and more i love the Dark rockwell kinda like his amazing silco proformance in arcane
Only watched the first episode but was not expecting the gore lol so far so good! Wasn't expecting the big names for voice acting either. Big W for ARK
Wait until you see the gore In later episodes
@@nathanstaron781 It means big win
@@nathanstaron781 no problem
The show sucked lol ngl
@@Jriniscool Then why are you even here?
I watched the first episode before coming here. I enjoyed it, didn't expect a straight away PvP bloodfest, but it was still fun.
RIP Bob. Also as a side note Garuga just released the Acro TLC for Ark Additions! I would love to see you do a showcase about it.
I'm in the US, I watched all 6 eps released. Loved it 🎉
You have every episode up literally the only youtuber that has and thats why your the goat! Best ark youtuber ill forever stand by that😍🤣

I,m from the Netherlands and thank Twitch _O_ that 1st episode was nice to watch :D
Also one of the more amusing complaints I've seen thusfar... "Rockwell is sexist!" Me: Rockwell is from Victorian-era England, of COURSE he's sexist!
Also the asian Girl saying Romans are slavors while asians also had slaves was just so cringe lmao.
Also her calling him a murderer while we see flashbacks of her killing people made me face palm pretty hard.
He's a white man in a woke show - ofc he's sexist.

always remember there is your one fan named realas199 when you had 90k subs
and am still early as always
I'm from UK and just finished the last episode of this season there are six episodes and they are bloody good
They definitely didn't hold back in this series! Let's go survivors! 🎉
4 years we have been waiting...
Omg rewatch the episode with subtiles and when the ark theme song comes on watches the subs😂😂😂
Finished all of part one and loved every second of it. Only issue I really have is the pretty major change to Rockwell.
Gareth Coker MVP ❤ such a gd musical tyrannosaurus!
I binged the whole show in one night, and it was incredible I loved every moment of it
Same, and I didn't know it was coming out today. It was a happy surprise
Ayo does Bob come back
@@kaltra_AkTS SPOILERS
not in the first part but looks like he’ll be back in part 2
Will Helena and Rockwell ever become friends in the series like they were in the explorer notes?
@@dinozavrizm4534 who knows but from what it looks like the show is going in a different route and making Rockwell a villain right of the bat
It make sense Vin character be in the animated series. At the end of the game of ASE when he spawns above the planet he says respawned again, so he was there in the arks some where
Thanks for the little tease - all I will ever see for a long time being in New Zealand. Thanks Raas!
Paramount+ said its coming to more countries on April 19th!
It should be called, Ark DEI.
Dude this was as gory as invincible and I love it 😂

have to admit it was well animated this might be where ASA starts to get its money from
Yeah but the story was horrible. Thats kinda the problem with it.

I will always say you are Arks biggest fan! And I too love ark. Hope your doing well!

Men being sexist brought back old ark days to you? I dont remember old ark being like that lmao.
@@draw2death421yeah this show is a man hating trash
kinda odd that they didnt make a final trailer to announce that the series is out
Apparently they have made rockwell super evil. Which isn't true to the lore as he turns evil through corruption. Will have to find out when I actually watch it though
Tbf they made pretty much all men in the serries evil and those they didint, either did or are cowards.
