i can't believe i never noticed that the tape recorders only started appearing/having a mind of their own after Jon got the lighter
THEY DID DIDN'T THEY =͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
it hadn't even occured to me✌️
Sure but what about martin?
@@lonewaffle231 archival assistant, so he’s tied to Jon. Same with Tim and Sasha.
@@rhodes449 but tapes didn't apper to tim and sasha. More did with martin. I guess cuz he actually read the statments?? Idk...
@@lonewaffle231 maybe not Sasha but they definitely appear to Tim in s3, also they appear to Melanie and Basira, also archival assistants. Also, once she cuts out her eyes they stop appearing for Melanie. She exits the set.
I just realized something: the Web's escape plan is pretty much an elevated form of Jonah's bodyhopping.
I guess you can call it that, finding a new host
Time to slip into something more comfortable. *Crunching noises*
The lighter was nicely placed, way back then. I knew it was going to be something special, but then forgot about it, as well.
As did The Archivist.
Indeed
When did it first appear again?
I can't recall, @@nekonyx. I feel like it was somewhere around the end of season one, possibly by the end of season two.
@@nekonyx
Breekon and Hope deliver it in episode 35 with the web table. Jon then takes it the next episode
I propose we rename the "Chekhov's gun" rule "Jonny's web lighter 🕸" or "Jonny's manifesting tapes 📼"... My my
[extended sounds of visceral arachnoid transformation]
excuse me, this is just me getting ready in the morning
I love the hints at Web Martin throughout the show to find that the Web has wanted him to be part of it, but him choosing the Lonely derailed its plan.
"'Free will,' she says. As we stand in the middle of her *fucking* web." UUU that sounded like Johnny De Ville
tbh the reveal that the tapes have been the web all along was just. whoo. wow
It was Annabelle all alooong!
Well, I guess it makes sense. It being the web and all
@@Companion92 that's what makes it so good!!! it makes sense and fits thematically while not being blatantly foreshadowed!!!
I'd been spoiled the fact that the tapes were udder the webs control but this!
This was no much much bigger then that
"Apologies for the inconvenience, Martin; appearances are everything, ..."
"Apologies for the deception. I just wanted to make sure you started reading, ..."
What is up with polite villains, Johnny??
I like the idea that Annabelle Cane doesn't actually know what she's doing and just makes shit up as she goes on, then makes it seem intentional after the fact
The ultimate bullshiter.
That's the coolest part about the web. It just has to say "yeah I planned all that" and suddenly maybe it's true and you're already feeding it
Or maybe that's the point. Maybe the Web is influencing her decisions to a crazy degree, to the point where she rides on impulse. The difference is that her impulse IS the Web's plan. It gives the appearance of both highly organized AND ultimate disorganization
Like she "walks with faith", using a more Christian-centric terminology. The Web uses her for its actions and she just goes with it. If she does or doesn't want to do something, its because its part of the Webs plan.
She's Joseph Joestar fr
Hearing Annabelle in her true form is both creepy and satisfying. I’m so excited to get to hear how this ends, but I hate that it’s ending.
I honestly really struggled listening to it. It was just a little grating to my ear holes.
Jon coming in and immediately trying to kill Annabelle is giving the same energy as when he smashed the table keeping Not!Them trapped before figuring out what the tables connections where. He just really doesn't care about important knowledge when emotions get involved huh?
makes you wonder how much of Jon's suspicions about his co-workers in season 2 were his own mind and how much was Jonah trying to keep knowledge above emotion in Jon's mind
Annabelle made Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared in an alternate timeline
oh no this is the confirmation
4:45 I love how protective they are over him
glad to see more people joining jon and us in the " we all love martin" club
Gosh, Annabelle is such a theater kid, I love her
Gosh I missed the 'theater kid' jokes
True to character, i always knew theater kids were eldrich giant spiders on the inside, explains alot actually
@@The_Natalist don't call me out like that
@@Marco_Polo360😂
"y'know I considered a TV show once.." "...probably something for kids..."
Don't hug me I'm scared?? 😏
Kind of thick but I just now realized why this season's graphic looks the way it does--a web made of cassette tapes.
I have to assume that when Martin said "Were you think of something like this" he did a sexy pose like a damsel in distress and then he got trapped in that pose.
My favourite bit is 11:57 I love how bloody sarcastic Jon is-
Even Annabelle chuckled at that line.
@@pepi7404 XD yup
Jon had the lighter for a really long time. He saw what was on it, but he never stopped to ask what would happen if he had to rely on it to defeat the Web.
Annabelle Cane has the ultimate 'Let Jesus take the wheel' energy
Spider Jesus
I love basira. This is where you draw your line? Yes.
the lighter and the tapes! my theories are being realised!
im definitely not stalling in reading the comments, no its fine, everything is fine.
the amount of effort, and planning, and spectacular writting that has been poured into this podcast is great. genuinley excited to see what happens next.
Looking back at the series, it's amazing how all the plotting just... works itself out. The way every single character, every little object, everything, comes back together in the end, with no loose ends, is fascinating, as if it is indeed spun in a beautiful web.
Why is The Web so dangerous?
*Because spiders have 8 eyes.*
Legs. Arachnids have 8 legs. They can have 0 to 8 eyes.
@@Badficwriter well the ones people usually think about have 8 eyes
Whoo, curse rights for Jon!
i am way too emotionally attached to this i am on the verge of tears with 3 episodes left
I... I caught up right near the end, so close to the end of the series, and I'm here, caught up. Oof, the pain of waiting
You can listen to them on Acast if you'd like, the series is over since a few months now. They're still releasing on there some bonuses, as far as I can tell (WTG episodes, Q&A, contests winners content, ...)
If this ends how I think it will, it seems that every person who recommended this podcast to someone else was unknowingly working for the web.
I must say, they're really good at this.
Martin getting pissed at Annabel because she used him as bait for Jon and sounding like he is ready to choke her is quite a funny picture
Annabel being like "Well I might just die but at least I need to lure him in but oh well" is so funking funny and weirdly concerning
The Web is **so** interesting. Such a completely fascinating entity
So that explains 2020...
The End is just too cool. I’ve watched this twice now. Seriously peak fiction but also I don’t want it to end
4 DAYS AGO?? I throught this was a completed series!
it is already completed! it ended over a month ago (i think? maybe longer) at this point, their youtube uploads are just behind their uploads on podcast platforms
You know, I thought back in season one that Elias was the Web. I thought that was the trick, the Web holding things in place so that they could be Seen. There were those physical interactions, the web vs the worms, you know, the worms dying in the tunnels and getting wrapped up. Anyway, it just didn't happen for so long I sort of forgot, or assumed I was wrong.
Interesting that the Eye isn't one of the sentient Fears. I guess it can only see what's in front of it, can't retain it. That's why it needed Jon out there in the world, and why the Archives existed, why Jon could feed off of old statements. It must "forget" once the statements end.
martin's protection squad has arrived 😂annabelle is an intriguing character. on one hand, i would have loved to have more of her actively present in the story, on the other, it's the whole point of her character - to weave plans and intrigues behind the scenes
Started listening to this for the first time about two weeks ago, I’m so terrified of what’s coming next that I don’t want to continue, but I have to.
Now for the joke comment, the Eye and the Web being allies, with their statements being the most "discreet" from the whole bunch, feels like when two quiet kids from class sit next to each other one day and set fire to the school
Finally caught up, and just in time!
Congrats!~
A big ass game of cosmic fear hot potato 🥔 I see 😂 I love this series so much
I miss when there wasn't so much background noise and I could always understand what the f the characters are saying (yes I can use the transcripts but it's really not the same experience)
MISS ANNABELLE CANE THANK YOU FOR MY FUCKING LIFE AGAIN
The fact that "It's always been the web" wasn't more obvious to me is just so cool.
It's been said over and over and over again. The web always wins. The web always wins.
You think about it, you get distracted, you forget. And then it gets you.
It took 162 episodes to find out the true purpose of the lighter.
Brilliantly executed, Mr. Spider...
My mind is completely blown. There was no way I could have seen this coming.
When you realize the TMA logo is actually a web in the shape of a cassette tape.
Honestly I kinda suspected the tapes had something to do with the Web because they seemed to follow them... as if manipulated by an invisible string... But this... whoa... When I say mind blown I hope you take that in a slightly literal sense because my head hurts after this episode and the stress marks on my forehead are going to stay there for a long long time
i mean, it kinda make sense the tape recorder are from the web since we are listening to them on the World Wide Web...
As the kids say these days: POG PEAK FICTION 👏👏
The web after giving John the lighter: “It’s a surprise tool that will help us later”
That's why the logo is a tape made of a web, the entire time the Web has been controlling things from the start, not the Eye as we thought.
M: so let’s talk then
A: ok then ….
M:…..
Me too buddy. Me too
Oh my god, this is one of the coolest things ever. The excitement this causes in me is immeasurable-I kind of want to go jump or run around for a bit to get rid of all this excess energy. It’s just… THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL AAARRGGHH!!!!!
My gratefulness can’t be recounted in words. To everyone who is a part of this podcast. I simultaneously want to know what’s about to happen and never continue because otherwise this experience will end :,) this is such a masterpiece.
This is the MOST ingenious use of the 4th wall ever! Mwah mwah mwah, scrumptious
Annabelle inching Martin closer and closer to death and taking a form that is utterly inhuman: BUT THE AESTHETIC
THE LIGHTER OF COURSE!!!
The web is so freaking cool man
Bro, an Annabelle Cane show sounds so cool to watch.
There's an Into the Spiderverse joke to be made here, but I don't think I'm clever enough for that.
Holy shit, the idea of using casette tape reels as strands for a spider web is truly inspired, well done. Nothing could have prepared me for that.
As soon as Annabelle mentioned the gas main, I remembered that one statement where Gertrude told Leitner about it right before Jonah murdered her. And then I realized, "THE LIGHTER" just before she spelled it out. What a ride.
So Annabelle is basically giving them a Trolley Problem where they have to choose between their world and all other worlds including our own. Unfortunately, I think I know where this is going, but either way it goes, it won't be pretty. Even if they do banish the Fears, someone has to blow up the gas main by hand.
martin protection squad!!!
Everyone else’s Annabelle spider still have curly dark hair?
Just me.
YOOOO THE LIGHTER aaaa i love this so much aaaaa
Nah idc the tape recorders are still just cats to me honestly
I keep thinking Annabelle is saying "vault" instead of "world"
This is one of the best... I want Magnum Archives 2...
So, guess what?
fantastic news
Okay wow that was really on level with the Entites reveal, and THIS was not spoled for me by the shiddy "spoiler safe" Wiki
rip ppl with audioprocessing disorder 🙏💚
I understand that it's a morality question of like would you do a whole different reality to save your own? The answer is yes for me. I would do it
Wait, tapes are already here, in our reality, does that mean...?
Oh and mentioning vibration of web is really nice touch. Eye using tapes was a bit strange, but web using tapes, the sound and string-like object is totally understandable!
Havent listened in a while, only three episodes away from the finale and i took a break to prepare myself for the grieving process (i got spoilers from tiktok). I kinda forgot whats happening, but its good to be back.
Big sis Basira ready to safe her Martin ❤❤❤
as someone who belives in alternate universes(and dimensions and timelines and whatever) i am scared
14:57 he said it he said the line :00
in all seriousness though, this is amazing writing and I'm highly enjoying it!!
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this series, but I absolutely despise the altered overly deep voices. This one and the meat guy are ones you can't really listen to.
Hi Alex!
It looks so clean but I can see the crawling, crawling creatures
Suspended in solution
No, no, there's no solution...
I'm not sure anything Annabelle said can be trusted.
For example: There's a reason some believe you shouldn't even accept knowledge of prophecies. There's no guarantee what you think they mean will actually happen, it could be a tricksy opposite like the classic "If you invade this country a great empire will fall", even if you trusted the truthfulness of the teller. Twisting yourself around to follow a prophecy or avoid a prophecy means you're NOT LOOKING at a more complete picture. A prophecy is just one possible path, not necessarily the only, or best path.
why are 198-200 private videos?
They are released on a weekly basis, so they'll be public soon. If you're impatient like me, you can find the rest of the episodes on Spotify (or any other podcasting app)
Update: they’re all public now
@@savethebees2574 I've actually listened to all the episodes on Spotify, but my brother is in hospital at the moment and I'm putting some stuff on an MP3 player for him. I wanted to download all the episodes for him.
I just became a Patreon now xD Now I have access to all the episodes (and cool extra stuff xD)

SPOLIERS for the Magnus protocol
Bonzo is apart of the web?
Not sure if the Old Powers are as well defined in Protocol, but Spider could be part of Bonzo.
OH MY GOD??????????????????????
Annabelle did you know I love you
okay wait i feel nauseous because like what if they just: throw the lighter into the pit, destroy the wierd web-hole-universe-breaker with it, and then just like? go do the burning the institute down and killing jonah thing? because they were saying they'd be left with only the tapes as an anchor right? so if u just GOT RID OF THE TAPES then destroyed their one connection i feel like they'd lose their hold on reality? or at the very least it would be suuuuper weakened? right?
5D chess
My feelings are in complete sync with Brenda Cox!
Am I the only one getting batman vibes from Basira, cold pragmatic but trying to do the right thing?
I like how during the past episodes I kept wondering how they're gonna save the world under these conditions.
Of course - other dimensions, look beyond our world. Now I feel almost stupid for not having thought of it before hh
You're not going to kill him, are you-
but oh, why the Hell does she need her voice dropped so much? couldn't you have. done something a little easier to understand? like, complete distortion? it's just such a cool and vital part of the ending and it's just. it sounds a bit silly, to be honest. i love so much about this podcast (the curses of special interests) but once i was done laughing at the weird voice choice i had to focus so much harder than usual to understand what she's saying
"Thanks for listening to this podcast and dooming your world to terrors that enter your world"
Such a disclaimer would be good beforehand, you know
They should really put the warnings BEFORE the spells.
@@CTShunI forget where that’s from but I love the reference
Is it Dr Strange? I think its Dr Strange
Oopsies. Seems you’ve condemned everyone on your world to eternal torture! Better luck next time!
lmaooo
The final conundrum. What will they do? Doom other realities, or sacrifice themselves to protect the rest of the multiverse? Or some third option, perhaps? Can't wait to find out in a few weeks.
3 weeks till the (youtube) end...
I mean... the problem is, in the end, will it really change anything? Sure, other realities gain the fears, but the Eyepocolypse ends and the realities they enter are only how the world was before. Including the Web being there. Where they'd be around to try to reverse any following apocolypses.
So, I feel it's ultimately better to do that than to trap that one universe in eternal hell?
@@aubarlowe It wouldn't be eternal, though. The Entities die in their world, eventually, thanks to the End actually killing people, meaning that it would the sacrifice of their universe to protect an infinity beyond.
But that's the final tragedy of the series - they either doom themselves, or doom more people than their universe could ever contain. Idk what my choice would be in their place.
@@pyrosianheir fair, I missed that point. Honestly... I don't know what I'd do, either.
SPOILER:
probably a Jon. Just try to quicken their deaths :')
the world’s worst trolley problem lol
Hello, UA-cam comments! Have you realized that the tape web being flung to alternate universes implies that it's OUR REALITY that it landed on?
Ours that it left, probably
Oh… it does, doesn’t it?
uh oh
... oh
Erm…..
...Shit
Martin, who well-played Elias AND Peter, who saved John multiples despite every odds, who has a strange sweet relationship with the tapes that nobody else has, who is able to use the Web's strings to know that John and Basira are coming : Me ? Part of the Web ? What a silly idea.
And he LIKES (liked) SPIDERS-
Not gonna lie it be really funny if the Fears did travel to another universe and they end up in one with a bunch of other Gods or entities like D&D or Warhammer and the one's there are like "Ayo who are these new kids?"
Baldur's Gate 3
characters: discussing how to send all the monsters to another reality which the tapes are connected to
me listening to these very tapes and being in that very reality: 👀💧
It gets worse when you think about how Annabelle thought to create a show that many would listen to but only a few would be subjected to supernatural phenomena. Is this that show?
and the LOGO makes sense and. and HHH it's no surprise that the archivist does what he does in the end. his entire life has been guided by the web, and his options are either 'go along with the web's plan, which your entire life has led to, which you have suffered for so much, and lose a large amount of yourself' or 'go along with jonah's plan, which is basically the same thing' or, you know. spoiler alert: complete murder-suicide of all sentient life. like, it's all about autonomy. learning that your entire life, trauma and all, has been conducted at the behest of something else; it's got to be completely violating. people are made of experiences and choices, and for one part of that to have been completely orchestrated. i'm just
writers are the web. i think that martin would probably punch me for that one fic i wrote
speaking of martin!!! i'm also of the belief that he's part of the whole 'let's orchestrate this dude's entire life' thing, but. not willingly? maybe he was raised like the archivist, or maybe it was just a lucky chance, but i feel like he was put into the archives because (and this is going to sound really gross and please understand that i know how unhealthy it is) he's (wait this is going to sound flippant i'm sorry) he's kind of used to loving and caring for people who hate him? like, i definitely think that jonah put him in the archives for the general care and upkeep of the archivist. it's very sucky
but YES i will continue screaming about autonomy as a major theme in tma even if it's just in my head, because it tends to be the same few things over and over. the other major thing my brain won't shut up about is 'martin blackwood and barnabas bennet as foils and parallels due to their dealings with a lukas and believing that they have the upper hand leading them to be thrown into the lonely, wherein their only hope is an eye avatar who loves them'
I think you're really on to something with the autonomy theme. And not just in John having all of his ripped away by the entities, or servants thereof, to enact one grand plan or another. No, ultimately, everyone who interacts with the Entities has a measure of autonomy stolen from them. Their victims are forced into horror scenarios where they can only react in fear, while the avatars are taken from who they were and have some kind of NEED forced on them. Needs to corrupt, needs to burn, to hunt, to watch, and consume the fear of those that they inflict terror upon, so that their "Patron," can spread itself a bit further. For some - like the Hunt - it's worse than others, to be sure, but all of them suffer from the needs that they gain upon becoming avatars.
@@pyrosianheir eh, it's not really even about that? the choices leading people to become avatars can be uninformed, but even then, the archivist is kind of taking it up to eleven. i mean, metatextually, he's been 'the archivist' all along - from the transcripts of the earliest trailers, that's been his name. most leitners are found by chance, but the web purposefully placed 'a guest for mr spider' in his path as a child. how much of his fear and the development thereof was influenced by the web, afterwards? this guy's just found out that he's been played as a means to someone else's ends for the second time in a vague time period. his choices have all been his own, but he'd been chosen and groomed all along for his choices to be predictable, and exactly what the forces ruling his life want them to be
Bruh its been two years and too late to be a karen but for future reference, when writing spoilers, include a gap of few lines so ppl dont continue accidently reading before processing and getting spoiled :((((
@@B_Bunny_ eh, i don't know what circles you frequent, but where i'm from it's generally expected that the comments have spoilers. part and parcel of discussing the contents of the youtube video, you know?
@@nemnyoom yh ik i dont mean to be rude. For magnus archives specifically ppl are generally only talking about their speculations and theories in the comments, so its always quite safe to read the comments for most only contain upto the episode that theyre in. Obv discussion threads are for spoilers. Sorry for bothering, and i agree that autonomy is kind of a big theme here
THIS EPISODE IS SUCH A POW POW POW OF INFORMATION JUST WOW
Imagine if Jon was like "Sorry babe, YEET"
*whistling noise as lighter flies into the abyss
I started to suspect that recorders were The Web's tool a long time ago, but the lighter... damn I completely forgot and thought of it as a souvenir! other dimensions yay let's just yeet our fears out
in a q and a rusty quill said that if they served an entity it would be the web... makes sense that theyre ones publising the tapes
