This Video Essay / Documentary talks about the entire history of Minecraft Manhunt (The Rise and Fall of Minecraft Manhunt) How the concept was created, milked to the point it became repetitive and eventually collapsed because of Dream, The Creator of the Concept.
Also this was completely coincidence that I finished right around this time and I guess it was time perfectly. Happy Birthday Dream. :)

Your first attempt and it was really good, great job vix! :D
It was great dont worry
Lets go
This video was the BEST❤
thank you so much for show the creative process behind this video. there is anyway to access the live?
Unpopular opinion, I think it was better that Dream ended it when he did. You act like Dream quit when manhunt was at its peak, but he didn’t. It was already in decline. I feel like if he just continued, it would’ve spiraled into what these copycats became. At least we have good memories of what it was.
It wouldve def lasted longer, Dream leaving just made the decline slow and painful
Golden rule: quit when it's good so it dont become bad.
@@notvixiosAt the very least we dont have copycats that make worse, unoriginal videos.
He’s making a new one Feb 27 or smthn

I actually had no idea there were this many people trying to milk manhunts. I wouldn't say dream destroyed it, manhunt was never destroyed in the first place, it just ended. Besides, great documentary video! As someone that has experience with making videos, it was clear how much effort went into this.
Dream didn’t destroy manhunt. People just copied him because it was popular, and eventually when Dream decided to call it quits, fans had to fall back on these other KZheadrs. It’s like this for anything. Once the top dog that created the idea leaves, that idea falls off a cliff. Dream was untouchable and made the best manhunt videos and nobody ever came close. It’s sad but manhunt was only going to stay that popular for as long as Dream decided to do it. The fate of manhunt was literally in Dreams hand.
Welcome to KZhead were desperate mfks would copy big creators and expect to profit from it.
All trends will die eventualy. Thats just how it works
ehh, it's not really suprising, people like money
Dude exactly, like take mr.beast style videos for example when he exploded to the internet users with his ideas yoytube took massive turn in stupid carbon replica of mr beast just for reputation.
I don't think anyone hated Dream for his face reveal. I think they hated him for the cheating scandal.
Nah people also hated him for the snapchat as well
People just hated his facereveal because they hated him in person.
they hated him because he hype it up but there was nothing hyped about his face
@@jknMEMES "hated him in person" hmmm ok I don't even the ones getting hooked up in private chats get to have that level of privilege 🗿
People hate dream beacuse people expect dream to be the most handsome man ever, but it turned out his face is just ordinary people. It was kinda dream fault for hyping it too much
27:49 The dislikes and hate comments on Dream’s music video weren’t from the disappointment of it not being a manhunt video, they were about dream’s character and behaviour online. I agree with other comments too that Dream’s cheating scandal would’ve been worth mentioning, as although this is not just a video about Dream, it had a lasting impact on the online attitude towards manhunts, especially from outside the Minecraft community.
"I hate Dream" would have accomplished the same thing in a shorter time.

The Legend of Notvixios
There he is the documenter of minecraft
@@notvixiosdo you play geometry dash
Hey Evan
I always knew they were staged, though it doesn't quite ruin the magic for me. The manhunt videos are still immensely entertaining and an example of good acting and editing.
I watched it like I would watch movies. It was great editing, music and later on the participants got more entertaining with their banters. The nether rooftop moment is still one of the great dramatic moments in a story. Doesn't even matter if it was scripted. It was cool to watch.
BRUH... i'm speechless... People actually like to get lied right at their face for years. This guy is a complete asshole and never deserved the money he's making
That's the purpose of being scripted, to make the content actually entertaining. Know that if these were actual manhunt runs, Dream would most of the time just fail early on. If you were a Minecraft content creator, a good idea for a manhunt is to nerf the hunters and buff the victim, regardless of how you do it, but a staged run is also great since it adds more cinematic vibe.
the problem is he told everyone they were real, lied to everybodys faces acting like he was good at the game when he wasnt@@YourAverageUsername42
I watched it as if it were television wrestling like WWE. You know it's fake as hell, but it's still entertaining.
Something I realized by playing manhunts myself is how quickly and unsatisfyingly they can end from either bad luck or random deaths. I stopped doing them altogether, and It was extremely discouraging when I later learned that the odds were increased for certain things in order to make them more entertaining.
Dream did his part in the Minecraft community, and gained enough success in a relatively short amount of time, he doesn't need to keep pushing it cause whatever he was looking to get 4 years ago, he's managed to get. Also amazing documentary NotVixios, this definitely earned you a subscribe.
Make it two
Managed to get absolutely hated by entire planet? I think he will try to redeem himself some day.
@@SecrethidenAnd why do they hate him? people are dumb
@@tinyypizzahe got A LOT of hate when he revealed his face sadly
@@SunnyBMGO who thought a face reveal would be hated so much.. His a good looking guy, why are people so butt hurt about that
the fact that i was talking about manhunt to my friends and that it was such a cool idea around 2-3 years ago, and now it’s DEAD is just beyond me. it feels like yesterday when dream started getting popular and just the dream smp in general. it flew by so fast :(
Remember, the content doesn't have to die just because the OG creator quit. So manhunt shall still live on! 😉
the beat drops synced to the clutches was really well done, props to the sound designers
Was entirely edited by me thank you!
This really demonstrates how much Dream let his fans/stans control what he does and when he does things. Instead of being thankful that he actually uploaded for once to show his hard work for his fanbase, they all just throw an extremely childish temper tantrum, because it wasn't a 6 hunters manhunt. I myself used to watch Dream just like alot of other people, the manhunts were extraordinarily exciting, but as soon as i started seeing all this "Dream stan cringe" I pulled the plug to my interest in that guy. But apart from that, really nice video, enjoyed it alot :)
people blame dream for having stans that are annoying but its hardly his fault
@@hipizzadogeurminecraftchan9542 When you constantly feed a fire and refuse to make any effort to put it out, I think it's safe to say you're at least a little bit responsible when you get burned.
to be fair he really should have clarified that the date was NOT a manhunt video before it came out...especially since they were back to back like what did he expect
But he did tease it as something else, the implications from what he presented was it would be that manhunt. Instead it was music, something that almost no one would care about otherwise. He knew no one would support it and had to get them to think it was something else to even bother with it and talking about it. So now people know he is making music. At least from my understanding of the situation this is basically false advertising to get publicity.
Tbh just dont be on twitter, or how we now call it "X" and you will save yourself from 99% of the cringe. And of course dont look into the reddits, but honest to god if you are spending time in a subreddit from a youtuber/streamer than you kinda lost control over your life anyway.
It was great that you made a video on this. I think this video might finally give the hint to the Manhunt community that they need to move on and accept that Manhunt is dead. Many creators lose motivation to make manhunts and quit but then come back 1 week later. Others just fully quit because they are scared that their channel is going to die when they get little views on content that isn't Manhunt related. I quit making straight Minecraft Manhunt videos 3 months ago and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I have been able to start making other styles of content like my recent video that were really fun to record with my friends. I really want others to move on as well, but I don't have control over the content they make so that's why I stopped trying to convince them. But hopefully they figure it out on their own. Thanks for making this video it was definitely worth the wait.
The editing is marvelous, fastidiously done. Nothing but massive respect to the people that participated for this masterpiece.
The whole 'manhunt' legacy died (for me) when dream was caught cheating in speedruns. The cheats in his speedruns were made for manhunt which is why he 'forgot' to remove them and got banned. Dont know if he purposely cheated at speedrunning or not, but he 100% purposely cheated in manhunt which is not cool. reputation ruined.
The song playing during and around 4:15 is called "Empress" and it's by Koraii. I'm sure someone was wondering so there you go
And 9:14 is "Alchemist" by Good Kid
the whole soundtrack is in the description
I didn't see that. Sorry was just trying to be helpful
As a fellow member, I hate to break the news as this as this is just a fake title and hype up. That video is actually a long awaited manhunt vs 8 hunters
lmaooo
agree
Shhh people will know

This is gonna be one of the BEST documentaries in KZhead history.
But how you know before watching this that's my question?

Keep in mind, it’s hard to be famous. Yes, Dream was good, and when passion is continued, those who love it stay, but after the huge two-sided feedback Dream gets, from stans begging to know him personally to hater attempting to “expose” him, Dream was kinda forced to leave Minecraft. You may say that over-expressed hate and love is a stupid reason to leave, but keep this in mind: “If you were in Dream’s position, wouldn’t you?”
i think there may be more to it than that. dreamsmp was a huge deal, and likely where a lot of dreams energy went while his personal channel stagnated. nothing wrong with that...but then techno.... idk, shit like that can have a massive impact on people.
He’s still fairly active on KZhead
Man, if I was a multi-millionaire like Dream, I could retire from everything (probably what he did); that'd be very nice, and it'd definitely be worth making a few people salty to get there.
@@kevinboros7427 it may be nice but just don’t end up like notch
@@Prororo Yeah, how does that work? You have enough money to do whatever you want yet you still end up depressed.
"How many times do you want to change your thumbnail?" NotVixios: yes
Everything in this documentary is a magnum opus of minecraft content strapped into just 30 minutes of a documentary, the editing, narrators and writing had some of the highest quality i could see on youtube, it made me feel like my monitor even had more quality than ever despite it being a simple 1080p, defo earned my sub and like just because i love this content
I do honestly think that the issue with Manhunt is it's seemingly lost the original idea of the Manhunt This wasn't some ultra competitive thing; this was a group of friends having genuine fun. It was where friends could chat about things while doing something productive and fun. Seriously, in a lot of these videos, you can feel the excitement the winning team exudes when they get out of a confrontation, or pull of a sick escape. It did have that competitive edge, but that was mostly because of the time spent in manhunts. Of course you would take a defeat in the end more seriously then you would defeat in the nether. However, people appeared to only focus on the competitive aspect. the jokes and friends building were second place to genuinely having fun, which accelerated the decline. Of course, new variations of the same formula exist, but after a while, it'll usually reach the same idea. In order to give a resurgence to manhunt, one would have to do something that is different, and unique. But that will just restart the cycle. It is the unfortunate nature of minecraft content that because of the sheer amount of it, you either have to go with the flow of repeated content, or drown in the stream in an attempt to champion a creative idea.
its actually really hard to do. I tried it with my mate and i kept beating him within the first few minutes. And when he was chasing me, we had the same issue. He could beat me with ease. Its easy to see why people say they manhunts are scripted now. To things like the flying machine, the "its gonna end how it started buddy, me and you" line in the finale, the lava roof trap, the invisibility to leave the nether for BBH to say a second later "Oh keep an eye out for him btw"
In Minecraft you are given an opportunity to come up with lots creative and amazing ideas for a minigame, because the 'craft' in Minecraft stands for crafting literally anything you could think of that can bring joy. Manhunt was a really creative idea but it was bound to lose its originality. You cannot use the same idea forever, so why stick with one idea when you can just make other ideas? It's the same problem with Mr. Beast copies, people just want attention and fame.
I actually quite like KIER & DEV's content because they're all genuine friends. They do a _lot_ of manhunts and are milking it, sure, but they're all genuinely great to just listen to. I put them on when I'm on long car rides or need a playlist to fall asleep to. They're all just having fun, and I really like that. Is it faked? Some parts probably are. They probably use a mod to increase piglin RNG, too, and their seeds are definitely set. But I don't really care. It's really rare to just see a group of friends just do stupid shit. It gives me classic Vanoss vibes for some reason.
But what if the flow is people using your logic in mass? Going with the flow becomes outright an excuse to deceive, hurt others, and take the easy way out. What you described is a self eating cycle. It isn't the nature of Minecraft content, it is the nature of ignorance, greed, and pride combined.
what are you saying? there never was friends building in the manhunt videos wtf
I used to watch a couple of manhunts during dream's prime, and I quickly got bored of them. Because they all just felt the same. Dream runs of whilst his friends are busy talking amongst themselves or something, gets a bucket, makes a nether portal, collects stuff in the nether, leave, find the stronghold, enter the end, and kill the dragon. That might just be a speedrunner strat, but it just got stale after a while. And all the clutch moments, dream gets cornered, the gang says "oh dream" or "bye dream", dream does a crazy move, they all go "what" or "he's not dead", and dream either kills them or runs away. It also didn't help that those "clutch moments" just felt fake. Like one time dream got cornered and threw a potion of invisibillity down, and they all just stopped to figure out who dream was, like they didn't have object permanence or something. At this point I just stopped watching dream completely. I just wanted to see what the fuss was all about and why he was suddenly the most popular minecraft youtuber, and I didn't understand then and I still don't understand now. Maybe I'm just not with the times, I used to watch Skydoesminecraft and his friends play mini-games like 'the wall' and 'cops and robbers' and the 'epic jump maps', and SlyFoxHound and his 'minecraft daily' and 'minecraft marriage' series, just people messing around with their friends in minecraft, and I guess that those types of videos don't rake in the views anymore. Or maybe the kids these days just don't know what good content is, and just flock to the videos with loud screaming. I don't know. All I do know is that dream is just boring.
Not sounding rude or anything, but when you say, "maybe the kids these days just don't know what good content is and just flock to the videos with loud screaming" just because they like dream's content and you don't, that doesn't mean "they don't know what good content is" if that's what you're saying
Yeah that's a fair point, guess that I've just been binging these types of videos talking about the resurgence of the whole 'elsa gate' thing and videos of people talking about content farms for that garten of banban game, and just thought that all videos kids like to watch fall into that category. Like I said I don't watch dream, just wanted to see what the hype was about (for a clearer timeframe this was before he got caught cheating), so I don't know if my assumptions about his content are correct anymore, if they even were. @@user-ou2gj8jc5c
I could see how every Dream video is kinda the same but every Dream video has different unique and cool traps/clutches happening and that’s what makes people keep coming back. Dreams content isn’t good in YOUR opinion. Even adults find Dream’s content enjoyable. Sorry to burst your bubble but ain’t no one watching old mc yts that have fallen off 😂 people wanna watch different stuff. You are definitely not with the times. Also Dream has already addressed that invisibility situation on a stream before where he was debunking a bunch of accusations so that kinda shows you don’t do research
Yeah you got the script spot-on, i couldn't watch them cos they were WAY too fake
Or better yet, that time he literally just swapped his skin, went through a portal with all the hunters and they all instantly starting digging down without even looking up once or even just checking each others names given there was obviously an extra person, giving him the perfect opportunity to tnt them. Or even the boat clutch shown in the video that was so clearly faked, but there will still be small kids even in this reply chain that go "He said it was real so its real!"
Although Dream doesn't upload minecraft anymore He still loves miners
Say that again

Thank you vix for making this video, I was only going to see what this was about, but ended up watching the entire video. This made me feel nostalgic and almost sad about how things were and how they are now, I appreciate you putting in the effort to make this video!
This was really well-made and produced. Props to you guys!
Saying minecraft manhunt revived minecraft is actually insane and you are a deeply unserious person for thinking that
this was a beautifully well made video man
Appreciate it brother, love your stuff!
One of the best videos I've watched this year. Absolutely insane job, so happy to be a part of it :)
Oh hi
Man I've seen you around a ton lately, first in themisterepic's recent video, now here. I still remember when you left that comment on one of my now ancient bedwars videos. Hope to continue seeing you here and there mate
This was by far one of the most interesting minecraft documentaries I've ever seen! Phenomonal work! Great job! :D
I am definately of the opinion that the Manhunts are scripted and rehersed, the actual clutches are legitimate but they are practiced beforehand.
Obviously they are practiced, but i doubt the entire thing is scripted from how many manhunts they do behind the scene
@@Adamm17004 he can literally script the behind the scenes too
Interesting documentation of the history! I definitely agree that Dream's channel heavily popularised the manhunt and added to the oversaturation of the idea, but I wouldn't necessarily say that the downfall was as a result of him... I feel like it was more of a combination of the further saturation by the community and the general lifespan of trends, making manhunts less enjoyable than they used to be Let me know what you think though... I still need to watch through the video so I'll see what the full point is! Edit: Watched through the entire video now... Very well done! And I'm glad that you all did indeed touch on the effects of manhunts on the community, looking at it from a broader perspective than just the prevalent "DREAM DID SOMETHING WRONG" type of videos all over the platform. Thank you for educating me on the topic :)
The title is a bit of an over statement for sure, but inevitably Dream's last manhunt was what started the slow decline because of the oversaturation from everyone else, it could've just died instantly but it was slow and painful as shown from Chapter 4. Really glad to see you here though, I've watched your videos before and I love them, let me know what you think when you're done!
@@notvixios but dude he needed to end it but why are we making like dream made a cult or something. It was a minecaft video and he needed to end it
@@notvixios Definitely a good point! I think also evident in the decline in views of manhunts on Dream's channel, the manhunt itself was slowly dying, and he noticed that, so shut it down for good... and as you said, it was just the community that prolonged the death. Very neat video overall, and that's cool that you've seen my videos before 👀
Work of art. English majors could write fifteen essays on it.
The fact that this guy calls one of the most controversial characters in fandom history popularizing and inviting waves of toxic drama causers into a community that was primarily doing just fine “The Downfall and Subsequent Saving of Minecraft” just proves how corruptive blindly idolizing someone is. Just because number of search terms goes up doesn’t mean the community gets better. A bad person abused a KZhead algorithm to introduce much worse people into the community, and he treats him as a second coming because he’s “not as bad as they are”? Never idolize someone like Vixios has, it makes you okay with some seriously terrible things.
Man that ending hit hard as well as this entire video. I cannot describe the amount of satisfaction I felt for someone to finally address in a formal video that fake manhunts may have changed Manhunt for the worse in some cases even though there are still many good things that can come out of it. It’s sad to see the manhunt community and the idea itself left in shambles. And with all of its main creators quitting the days of manhunt may truly be over. I hope that one day, someone will bring a new, fresh idea or perspective to Minecraft again. Maybe even Dream. For now the idea that once soared over everything will finally rest.
This video was actually so well put together, the use of different creators reading the script was brilliant and seemed to keep me watching the video. The background footage was well chosen, and the music usually fit. This is way better than what I expected when I clicked on the video.
There are 3 types of people who comment here; • Positive people • People who think its obvious • Dream fans who are hurling entire paragraphs on why this video shouldnt exist
I can honestly enjoyed every second of this documentary, and I was blown away when it came full circle in the end. Amazing job :)
I hold full accountability for my KZhead short accelerating the downfall of manhunt… u got me officers 🤚
LOL
I never thought that I would watch this entire video. The entire video was literally entertaining to me. I am not a big fan of 30min long KZhead video but every second that i watched of this documentary was extremely enjoyable. This is the most underrated documentary & video man. Keep up the good work!
I still remember going back after uni on a friday to watch a newly uploaded dream manhunt video 😭😭 It was surprisingly good, and for what appeared to be such a simple concept and minimal editing (mostly just cuts and music overlay), it was genuinely better than most Netflix series Also, gotta say, SURPRISINGLY high production for a video from what appears to be a growing channel, you get my subscribe. Calling 2.7mil by the end of this year 🔥🔥
See, even not being a dream fan I still think there should be distincton between staging gameplay and guiding gameplay. "staging" or "scripting" the manhunt would mean they follow a very precise plot of events. I don't think this is the case, since the players, even today, still provide commentary about their personal strategic thought processes, which you wouldn't get if it were scripted. What I do recognize, and what I urge others to recognize too, is that they all do their best to make an entertaining video. This means not trying as hard as they possibly could to kill Dream, or allowing Dream to reset a failed clutch, but NOT meaning Dream telling the hunters what he's planning to do, telling them to play along. Obviously if they did try their absolute hardest, they would probably kill dream in five minutes every video. They make improvised decisions along the video that they know will make a more theatrical video. I just find it statistically unlikely for anyone to stage hour long gameplay videos without messing up, as we've gotten with some uncut manhunts.
I think the comeback of manhunt is happening tho as dream mentioned its already recorded in hes new community post. I think manhunt might come back but dream also said he has a plan to reinovate minecraft once again as he once did which sounds good and motivating! Great video tho for sure! Thats some insane work
We'll see
Dream has only promised one video atm, so I doubt manhunt will be revived, but perhaps a brand new series will be created.
We waited we hoped we hyped and it was all worth it. Even better than worth it. The style, music, narration and storytelling got me lost in the screen of my phone for half an hour straight. I do not think I even got the idea to leave my phone once. If that doesnt say what a true masterpiece this video is then I dont know what does...
it sure is a great video but like your bar is beneath the floor lol
@@icecreamguru7584 thanks
I noticed Wilbur's font and style I knew he'd come up eventually
really well put together video, honestly crazy to have such a nostalgic feeling when thinking about dreams videos and seeing some of those clips.
hopefully u hit 100k with this video
hopefullyyyy
The part that destroyed manhunt was using a script, also, dream cheating to get a WR didnt help.
People often don't believe me when I say this, but around 2017-2018 I've been playing a game with some of my friends called "PVPvC," or "PVP v. Clock" where we would attempt to beat the game as fast as possible while we hunt each other down constantly. We were going to make some shitty low quality youtube videos at the time, so I even had (now lost) recordings somewhere of us starting to play the game and then getting bored and playing on our SMP instead. The recordings are on a dead drive, but I do have the original idea written down in a notebook and photographed onto my phone from around that time period. Neither of the 3 of us that played the game when I just got the idea expected our idea to be reborn and being one of the most popular Minecraft minigames ever.
I also quit gaming since then
Not bad, that idea sounds very intriguing and creative.
@@Speed249 👍would you like to try it out again one random day
“Despite everything you’ve done to them eventually they’ll hate you, why bother?” I get it now. The internet is so corrupted…
10 years ago, my friends tried to get me to play Minecraft. By that, I mean they invited me to their server, gave me exactly 1 iron helm, and excitedly pushed me through the portal to the Nether to show me the fortress. I believe their words were "You'll be fine, you'll get loot from chests !". I spent the next hour dying on repeat, and never touched the game again. Fast forward to a month ago, when one of those same friends redeemed himself by actually showing me some beautiful Minecraft videos, which in turn made Minecraft content flood my recommended. In the bunch, some manhunt videos. And now, this one. Even to a complete stranger to the game, this documentary is very pleasant to watch. I liked learning about the history of that one block game and the rise and fall of one of its popular content creations. Thank you for the beautiful video ! I'll definitely check out the rest of your content. And who knows... maybe one day I'll escape the Nether alive !
I stopped following dream entirely when it came out he was cheating speedruns. I figured he was scripting his videos too.
I had absolutely no idea that wilbur gave dream the manhunt idea
Storytelling and editing on this video is insane keep it up
Honestly this video seems kind of incomplete to me. Drawing in with the whole. "FAKE" in the thumbnail and then not mentioning any of dream's cheating scandal or possibly fake moments in his manhunts.
Dream - face of manhunt Fake - all the fake manhunts after dream quit caused it to die
I honestly didn't mind it in the earlier episodes. They were fun to watch, like a movie. They were believable as well, unlike the later ones, where it was blatantly staged.
I can remember coming back from school discovering that dream had released a new manhunt video, it would just make my day.
Respect for color crew that didnt steal ideas from dream.
I think Minecraft manhunt really died when boosfer quit he was are only hope when dream and vix quit but atleast we still have baablu
Half of the vid felt like wack or filler but then Kenadian made it bearable, still fine vid.
dude this is one of the best videos i've seen in a while, i really can see the effort put into the video (for example multiple narrators) i really appriecieate creators like you and i think you guys did great job. thank you
Random guy: * Blinks * NotVixios: And that would flip the community on its head. Crumble the entire thing to bits. Change the entire history of not only Minecraft, Earth, but the universe forever.
LOL
I always waited for a reason for my obsession of manhunt that Dream posted , and i worried about if dream would ever upload manhunt videos. However , now that i understood the reason that everything comes to an end . Thank you for explaining it so well i thank you and your team for it !!
hi, great vid, nice concept, just wanted to mention that this video conveniently skips over many of the real issues that have caused the death of his channel. i didn't unsubscribe bc he did a face reveal, it was because of the grooming allegations, cheating, toxic behaviour, weaponising his fans via a parasocial relationship, and exploiting Technoblades death for money and views. he has lost all my respect and this was frustrating to watch bc It feels like a tribute to a man who does not deserve it anymore. yes, he was brilliant, he's also a pos. anyways, just wanted to say my peace.
Yeah, I think both the thumbail and the phrase "The most detailed documentary you will ever see" were slightly overestimated.
This documentary is really impressive the narration the editing everything is incredible in this video.
Been a long-time viewer and just wanted to say for your first documentary, this was awesome I loved the inclusion of IA! Here's one bit of constructive criticism though, in my opinion there were too many captions and things flashing on screen, maybe just allow the background footage to roll a little more as the story is being told. But all in all, great work
I agree with that ngll
Great job on the documentary video vix! It was nice to learn about the history of Minecraft manhunt.
The fact anyone believed these were 100% legit to begin with is mind boggling.
People need to realize that Dream is a human and that making the same videos again and again gets extremely boring for him
After Dream stopped posting I started watching Kier and Dev and I'm happy I did so I didn't have to see all the drama.
I started watching Boosfer
@@mosshivenetwork117 Especially in Boosfer's case, I'm really happy that the hype around manhunts gave him that intial boost, because he sure as hell has a lot of potential in making even more unique and interesting videos outside just twist manhunts
If anything, I would respect Dream if he ended Manhunt altogether. Quitting while you're ahead is a strength that almost every content creator and corporation does not possess. They will milk the same tired old formula in the hopes of recapturing highs that have passed, until everyone starts hating what they once loved.
Love the summoning salt music 😂. Well done Vix, you outdid yourself with this one.
Dream made the best decision. Everything great should come to an end and so did his series. Personally, I think you should also notice that manhunt series revitalized not only Minecraft itself but this form of content was also brought to a lot of other games, that could be applicable, and I think that's amazing. Minecraft Manhunts can die, but Manhunt-form content will never die.
The editing is insane for your first long documentary, gg
Just watched this video, It was made entirely perfect and with all the factual information. good job vix!
..
I feel like the possibility of a revitalization of manhunts could happen, but we're probably far from its conception. When it comes to other people making manhunts, it'll probably look fine without all those quick reaction fast plays like the boat, grabbing ender pearls with a fishing rod, whatever. What makes a lot of those scenes feel hard is the sound design behind them, and that could be a potential starting point for others trying to make any good video.
The minecraft manhunt series is so amazing and great video man :]
The “boat clutch” is without a doubt 100% scripted. It’s fake. The proof is in the fact he waits to put his boots on until after he picks up the rest of his items in order to create an open slot on his hot bar to place the boat he’s about to “spontaneously” make.
the irony of you calling any video fake is insane
How???
@@decas5505 he faked dozens of manhunt videos
@@Cera_01so?
Dream very much enjoyed making manhunt videos but at some point he had to move on.
amazing quality. i honestly forgot that i clicked to see if dream's vids were fake haha clicked for the drama stayed for the great content
You are the target audience of douchetubers and we both got baited by one.
This video has to be the BEST by far! This documentary was interesting and amazing. I am impressed by this. Keep up the good work❤
Btw I don’t mind that Dream revealed his face he’s still the same person and I’m sure that Techno Blade would agree and be proud of his rival.
I wasn't originally going to watch this at first, even though I watched Dream's manhunts I still thought "how is this interesting at all?" I was very wrong! This was super fun to watch and I loved everyone's work here. Congrats to the team, everyone is super talented!
this documentary is actually so high quality amazing job man
Although most of the videos are staged, and the community is dying, I'm still willing to watch everyone's stuff and give them a chance. Dream got me into manhunt and until something in me changes, this will stay the same.
I mean that's basically what it was, I went to be entertained, and I was entertained. There were plenty of moments looking back on that I'd shake my head at, like 'no way that was real' but they were fun, and we got some good laughs from them.
Honest review of the video: - First four minutes (respectfully) add nothing - Next several minutes lay great foundation, then randomly jumps back in time? - Unfortunately, got bored and closed the video (sorry) I dropped a like cuz I feel bad, but the middle of the video just becomes Dream clips.
Nice documentary. I followed dream since his early days before manhunt. I liked the guy, seemed very competent. Then I saw his first manhunt and I liked it, it was original and tense while still being organic. And then come the next manhunt, and it was even better, then the next. However it was very clear, that making something interesting that has this tense, tricks, which is better then the previous one won't last forever. Even some moves in Dreams manhunt feeled staged, but it was acceptable, as still seemed somewhat organic and original. However the internet started to fill with copies which I never watched as it was unoriginal. Dream raised the stakes, but it was clear, it won't last long, and the fame started to go in Dreams mind. His fans started hyping him as the best minecraft player, but there is always a better player. Dream started speedrunning, and he done it well, but being a World Recorder takes much more then skill, and he knew that, and cheated. First I did not wanted to believe it, but when I saw the numbers, it was clear. After that, the fame and hype around Dream has deminished, and it was clear. It will be over soon. And I was right, Dream returned for the final manhunt. It was still great, but you could feel the burnout in Dream. After that he finished it, burnout, and may never return. This trend is not unique, it happened with many famous man, and if you followed Dream with a clear mind (no hype and no hate), the fate was very clear.
Speedrunners dont cheat to get a world record. They cheat to get a world record faster.
Also he did hold a legitimate wr on 1.14 and 1.15
@@Jackilichous no. As far as dream's speedrun record goes, they're untrustable. Who said they aren't using a "recording mod" in those versions? If there is no concrete proof that they aren't used, might as well count them to be fake.
@@Jackilichous oof. the act of speedrunning is "to get a faster record". Getting them faster, or in other words; doesn't hide the fact that they cheated and is to never be trusted.
@@chiiika.ayyAtHK in his standalone runs he uploaded to the leaderboard there is literally nothing suspicious about them. the 1.14 and 1.15 runs have rng very normal for a runner. the 1.16 run standalone has above average rng but that is it, it's nothing out of the ordinary. only when looking at his other attempts does it become obvious that he had manipulated rng. idk what you're really trying to tell me but dream did not cheat to get the 1.16 wr he cheated to get the 1.16 wr faster.
Still can’t believe I was a dream Stan back in 7th grade
what a ride. dream made some pretty damn entertaining content in my freshmen year. helped me keep my mind straight during that year in 2020. it was a good run! maybe someone else will come around and renovate Minecraft again, just as dream did. Really liked the video, easy sub
hes a groomer
@@frostedcookiedough4343 what ever he might be he's definitely not the best person in the world by any means
@@frostedcookiedough4343 the allegations have been proven false.
they werent @@farawaymountains1196
funny enough Dream just recently announced he has come up with something that will change Minecraft content in the month in October
damn, the editing in this video is honestly insane it makes me feel kinda nostalgic and I love the music and animations
this is the kind of video to say "it all started in the beginning"
Fair enough😭
LMAOO
@@weaponsmith you’re my number 1 fan (:
Even though manhunt was viral only several years ago i still feel nostalgic about those days
Holy crap the quality of this video was insane. The narrations but Internet Anarchist and the rest just blew me away one after another, editing was done amazingly well, and the content was delivered with perfection. Just got my sub. Bravo man, bravo 👏👏
George's reaction when he killed Dream on the first manhunt is fucking insane damn lol
Damn i will miss Dream’s Minecraft Manhunt series😔
Sick documentary, stoked that I could make a 1/2 frame appearance lol. So glad I found a way to make manhunt vids while sucking ass at actual Minecraft but while still having a blast just messing around with friends haha. Wonder where I'd be right now if dream hadn't started posting those manhunts, crazy to think about the insane impact those vids had on my life now that I'm really thinking about it lol.. Imma just go have an existential crisis in a corner now lmao..
don't ovethink it lil bro, you'd probably found someone else to rip off lmaooo
