Alan deserves a break after everything hes done. If there is a season 4 planned it can wait if Alan is overworked. The King is a masterpiece of storytelling animation music everything.
you mean season 4?
Yea he should
Wasnt this the season 3 finale?
Let’s also include the team behind this masterpiece. If any of the members of Alan’s team is overworked, we can wait ❤
This WAS season 3. Episodes 1 - 14 were season 1, episodes 15 - 19 were season 2, and 20 - 30 are season 3
The best animation I have ever seen on KZhead. The use of 3D, the lore and the incredible effort in every detail, the backgrounds, the accuracy to very niche parts of Minecraft such as commands and the amount of emotion, excitement and just pure effort put into this makes it a perfect send-off to such an iconic series. EDIT: IT IS NOT THE END OF AvM, JUST THE SEASON FINALE. To another great season!
Omg yes yes yes yes yes

Send-off? I never heard anything about no more AvM stuff.
@@ARandomSpaceyeah. So many people seem to think the series is gonna end, even though it wasn’t a finale for the entire series, only the finale for season 3
idk im thinking about this and gildedguy vs the hard rock gladiator. Hard to compare masterpieces honestly
I like how, for both purple's and king's "redemptions", they both had to realize and come to terms with what they did. Purple kept being a bad friend and a liar, even after the other characters were kind and forgiving to them in each episode, but they only truly changed when the problem was adressed. Amazing storytelling and great message! :)

Yellow and orange are friends
@@osssht that doesnt relate to the comment at all
proof that music and movement gesture is very important
@@teamok1025sing for my butt and for the stick figures
@@jeremiahwilson1743 shake that bottom line
I seriously love how King and Purple’s arcs were sort of parallel to each other. Purple wanting to be good enough for an absent parent and finding a father figure in King, whilst King in trying to destroy the thing that made him lose a son led him to finding someone who reminds him of his son and he actually kind of had some affection for. Plus the fact they both get a moment to reflect on the people they hurt on the way to achieve their goals. I couldn’t stop crying when King ran up to Purple and hugged him. I loved this episode so much!
i thought that purple was a corrupted version of his son
@@prominecrafter4388who? Orange’s son? Yeah, he’s dead
@Zhongli I thought he wasn't dead too, and he was just trapped in Minecraft, but I remembered the world got corrupted and it terminated the server.
@@asentientcactus The minecraft version he got stuck in was corrupted and it kind of got destroyed.
Yeah... 😭😭😭
We must not ever forget that this was not just done by Alan. A large team of animators made this masterpiece.
not enough people recognise this 🫤
Not a lot of people know this everyone thinks he does it by himself but coming from a animator i can say we do have a whole team to work on animations
One of my favourite parts of these videos is that Alan acknowledges this a lot and whenever DJ says he liked something that wasn't Alan he's like "Oh yeah, that was one of my animators, it's brilliant" Or like "This scene was a lot of work for this person, they did a wonderful job"
Alan looks a little tired
@@danielbrzezicki5880 I know you he looks like he could go to sleep forever
I find it amazing that DJ can take one of the most tragic moments in AvM and make it humorous. This dude's energy is so infectious.
The entire reaction summed up in a sentence. DJ making hilarious jokes, while Alan continues to giggle.
Facts
YOU ARE NOT MINECRAFT
The part where purple was struggling through the beam was cool, but the reprise of purple's theme was incredibly powerful, whereas it was originally for purple explaining their need for a parent, this is what finally got them there, and what reminded both of them why they were doing what they were doing.
So true
I just realised the stick his son was holding was the shape of inspiration for his super staff
You made me realise that...
yes and did you realize that avg color scheme are the same as the purple and king
@@eg6075 I did not realize that!
and did you know in one video of avg they talk about this for a brief moment
@@eg6075 OH MY GOD
I am surprised Yellow did not have such an influence on the King, as they look quite similar to their child.
i thought that
NOT ALL STICKMAN LOOK THE SAME
Both of them also became Command Block Tech supernerds
Yeah, would havw thought red and the dark lord would have an influence too somehow
that’s probably why he gave him a fake command block staff
5:01 I absolutely agree with this. The greatest villain, in my opinion, is one that you at least in some way truly sympathize with and hope victory for. This is why I prefer in most cases 'protagonist versus antagonist' to 'hero versus villain'. Those seem like the same thing, but with the former there's no obvious 'right' side, which I think requires a lot more storytelling talent and is also a lot more interesting.
I agree with this a lot. I admit I’ve come to appreciate “villains” who end up learning from defeat and being accepted as they try to change, but this is true, too. I love antagonists that sprouted from rough upbringings because that’s human. It’s just they’ve gotten out of hand. How to have the heroes show them the right way while still sympathizing for them is a delicate balance for the writer to deal with. And if they do it right, like Alan and his team did, then it’s great storytelling.
This episode might have been your greatest one yet. It is phenomenal in every aspect possible. Not only with its amazing animation, but with its beautiful story too. It truly got to me
BRO I CANT WAIT FOR ARC 3 IM THINKING THE DARK LORD IS COMING BACK , LIKE HE WAS BLOWN AWAY HE WASNT WITHERED OR ANYTHING
@@phanquan9470 I think this is the end
@@phanquan9470 this is the end
@@malak.art.99 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE DONT SAY THAT
@@malak.art.99 then whats next Sadge
Yup. This got me crying. It's been said already, but this is nothing short of incredible Alan, and the blood sweat and tears that were put into this will NEVER go unnoticed. There was something DJ said and I couldn't agree more. To paraphrase: "If you were to focus on only King Orange's story, the original stick figures you started with would be the villains." That line gave me some serious Attack On Titan vibes. That level of writing is POWERFUL. Astonishing animation as well as writing! I love it all!
And it all started from blue finding his nether warts. Truely amazing
16:41 Has anyone noticed he did the same move when putting it in the recycling bin in episode 1
Oh yeah I do I remember that
I thought i was the only one
I was looking for this, yes, and I finally found it. AFTER A YEAR
@@TupletWantsToPlayOsuMania clap clap clap
Lets be honest, all of us would miss this series like alot, its been like 7 years since stick figure vs minecraft was out and the way it keeps growing until now makes me proud for being here from the very beginning but all party must have its end so here it is.
No I think he’s either gonna work on season four or bring back AVA. In the Alan’s friends server he mentioned that AVM characters could return for AVA 👀
same everything has to end
@@chickennuggets826 ya
In the description, it said the end of season 3 of AVM Shorts, not the end of AVM or AVA entirely
Tbh, i want more ANIMATIONS vs games, its allot more unique tbh even though its not majority of the alan's fanbase. (no not ANIMATORS vs games)
just finished watching the live premiere on the main channel, man that was insane, cant imagine how long this took alan and the rest of the team to make, a million hats off to you all, your work did not go unnoticed.
BRO I GOT CHILLED ALL OVER DURING THE FIGHT
I'm still shaking, i also watched the premiere.
I feel like when EVERYONE's much older like 60 or 70, they will look back at this AMAZING masterpiece
5000 hours, according to the community post
i was so fucking hyped dude and i also cried
17:45 The Second Coming comes onto the computer with a nuke
easter egg:technoblade 19:23
10:51 "All the children must enjoy themselves in Minecraft. *A few seconds later* You're not Minecraft!" -DJ, 2022 I also love how Alan giggles at that joke
Yes
Lol
and then king orange becomes the minecraft
i think one of the most amazing parts of this is how perfectly you've made all the elements of this episode tie in with the past. this entire season has felt like a movie, in a way, because it's so perfectly woven in with itself. the way you use previous animation effects, scenes, and music cues is one of the best i've seen. the music from note block universe plays when green reaches out to purple. red getting reposessed, the scene parallels when king orange is reliving his past trauma. obviously you guys joke around a lot during this commentary, but this did honest to god make me cry while watching it. the storytelling is perfect. the idea that king orange, in an effort to save his dead son, couldn't see the damage he did to people around him... the realization as he watches, even. i've never seen a better villain backstory, and i mean that for real. alan has directed one of the best animations i've seen on youtube. and don't let anyone forget all the people who worked on this, too. a monumental project for everyone involved. i hope you guys had a pizza party after this.
Welcome to the world of Undertale.
ah yes, king orange = asgore
@@mdlbuilderized5706 yes, leitmotifs.
soooo the son of asgore is arsiel the son of king orange is arsiel?? But he Did not turn into a flower or something he died noting left he is stuck there till he dies of old age or it’s hardcore mode and died to a creeper while mining
But what was the glitch that trapped him in Minecraft and will the glitch ever return?
3:04 Alan: He's not gonna die right in front of him! **Dies right in front of him**
lol
Something I really liked was red using his headband, it gave red his own unique style of fighting, similar to the fishing rods but not quite the same. I kinda hope he gets something similar or something else to differentiate his fighting style from TSC, because “beast master” doesn’t really translate well to most situations. Yellow’s redstone comes with TNT, blue uses his bow and crossbow, green utilizes his fishing rod the most, but red and TSC in most situations fight the same way, with the exception of when red had the staff, but the headband gives red something unique.
I find it really insane how all of that chaos started from blue searching for some nether warts and led them to almost 2 hours worth of action packed of animation, then at the end, we saw him earn all of the nether wart he's been looking for, incredible animation!
Yooooo! thats so truee!
It all started because of one drug addiction
the butterfly effect
@@failure4452 moral of the entire episode, DON'T DO DRUGS
"DO NOT DENY ME MY DOOBIE!!" - Blue probably
This episode was a huge emotional rollercoaster for me. The work put into this was nothing short of amazing.
Cooool bro
I really want to know more about the behind the scenes. Drafts of the story, concept art, the main pipeline, I’d love to see all of that.
CJ’s “Minecraft” jokes made this episode way funnier than it needed to be.
Ikr Imao

you are not minecraft
17:35 - Omg it's dad he came back with the Milk!.
Enough with milk
Im tired of milk
Dad got too much milk it became minecraft
Lmo
Where is the dude, stop narrator?
DJ is so hilarious in this episode I bet working on Adventure Time helped refine his sense of humor.
I didnt know DJ worked on Adventure Time, tbh it makes sense he looks like the guy that would work in Adventure Time
wait he worked on adventure time
Eh.
what character is he on Adventure time?
He was a concept artist on the show. Not exactly a writer but I’d imagine he picked up a few things either way.
I love how it connects with all of the previous shorts and even the episode which started the series. Like the way it comes full circle with Herobrine possessing Red again is just like awesome. Also love how this whole season started with Blue wanting more nether wart, and love how you, Alan, paid homage to that with the end feast.
As DJ put it, “I loved it, like, everything about it.” I can now binge the whole thing from start to finish! ❤️
DJ made the death scene of a villain's origin story sound hilarious wtf 💀
Ikr he wasnt serious💀
Fr tho 💀
humour to cope
He’s what you get when you combine comedy, good taste and -NOT KNOWING WHAT SUGAR CANE IS FFS- a small pinch of Minecraft knowledge and show it a super emotional scene
I did't know someone that makes videos for fun while using a college laptop to this WITHOUT ANY TALKING can make my day or week thank you, Alan Becker for this I'm glad that a company will not steal this masterpiece.
Unfortunately, some companies (a.k.a "game developers") stole some series of this masterpiece by using them as advertisements to deceive the people about the reality of their game. The worst part is that they don't accredit Alan and the crew who made this legendary series.
@@undefined1273 it's worse because the games are always low quality with stolen assets and terrible controls
@@eyeronthegamer yeah thats true and sad
@@eyeronthegamer but when I said steal I meant like he was almost sold his creation away by a company for 75 DOLLARS
my favorite moment has got to be seeing things directly from king orange's eyes-the power radiating from the staff he was holding, purple desperately clawing his way towards him-man, that hit hard, and it looked so good!
I love how Alan actually put in words on those texts and not just a bunch of squiggly lines to fill out the paper.
Alan and his team Deserves a Netflix sponsored series without restrictions and limitations to their creativity..
okay but facts tho
That'll be lit🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here’s the thing though, if they get an entirely different show for Netflix, the story would probably get ruined by Netflix watching over them If AvM was just allowed to be on Netflix than it’d probably be ok
Netflix doesn’t deserve them
It amazes me how you guys managed to make such a thing, and how many people can be brought together to create something like this. Seeing all the known and unknown names in the credits, such as Oxob, Hatena, Skim, etc. taking a part in this animation, its just beautiful to me. And to think that this all started 16 years ago from a guy with adobe flash who pretended there was a hostile stick figure living in his computer
16 yrs ago????? It's already have been that much??????? Maaaaaaaan
SIWRTG
press F to pay respects to Alan for making content for us to enjoy

I just now realized that TSC’s “Chuck the cube into the portal” is almost the same motion he made in the original AvM. Callback!
6:18 Have u seen my lost dog? It’s shaped like a cube
18:17 AAAHH!!!!!
So this confirms that the King lost his SON this whole time. My first assumption was that they were brothers, so hearing it from your perspective makes this all the more tragic. Also, DJ's commentary is so hilarious. I love it. "I have become the Minecraft!!!! Wait... I have become the Minecraft..."
15:53 “Do you have gold for us?” *saying that as the world is ending*
16:02 Donate yellow he is gold
Alan, started as a youtuber giving animating tips to young animators like me, those tips helped alot btw, but his form of storytelling is a masterpiece, he has a strong emotional way of telling one, like you made me tear up while watching this, this story proves you can make someone cry with just one story that may seem silly? If i can call it silly, we all know we cant judge a book by its cover, the lore putten in this story is good, its interesting but simple, as im writing this long fricking essay, you inspire me to be like an animator like you alan, and i think some young animators out there are inspired by you as well.
14:58 "Don't let Minecraft change you" DJ is amazing lmao
13:20 "that looks painful" *TSC just being melted*
Seeing DJ reacting to this video makes it 10x better!
3:27 What face?
I was rooting for both sides, honestly. Yes, the king had his reason to hate the Minecraft world, but it was only at the end that he realized he was doing to others what happened to himself. I am glad he decided to "adopt" Purple as his new son.
Idk, maybe the animator change the yellow as a orange king son to purple because yellow stickman was already taken💀
@@blu-am0gpretty sure the son of orange king is more of a gold
@@mailingcati literally called king orange's son "gold"
can we just appreciate that alan doesent take all the credit for the whole thing? i find it cool that not only did himself and the other animators make this awesome animation, but its clear this was a team effort
lets also appriciate about this animation is so much better than most animation made by big companies.
18:27 Reuben?! he's back?!
For some reason dj just makes every Alan video infinite times funnier.
10:44 "you cannot harm me in my own mind" bro i died laughing. the way dj keeps saying that herobrine is minecraft is so funny to me
19:00 RESPECT FOR TECHNOBLADE THANK YOU ALAN🕊🕊🕊🕊
I still cant get over the fact that at 14:01 purple dropped yellow thinking it would remind him of his son gold
Now we know, Purple and Orange were never bad people. they were both suffering, Purple being mistreated and abused by his dad and Orange grieving his child Gold's death i don't know what happened to the mom but he must be grieving over her death too and Gold was all he had left :c By the way, when are we going to get the Stick Figure Gang's backstories?
These 7-8 months of work Alan spent were 100% worth it, this was his greatest animation yet! DJ's commentary is just the icing on the cake :D
10:23 *"It's Minecraft himself"* That just frikin' killed me
man i'm dead 💀
The Villagers in "The Raid" made something in 30 minutes that probably took him 3-7 months.
The king: No my boy! The king’s son: Father help The king’s son gets deleted The king: NOOOO The king gets sad beacuse his son got deleted, and make the workers die expect one. 3:33
Asdf reference.
😂
I like how the beginning was intended to be tragic but DJ turned it into comedy, which obviously made me laugh hahaha XD
3:45 "This is why you don't let your kids play Minecraft, kids"
😂😂😂
That last episode was breathtakingly good. Thank you so much Alan and your entire team of animators.
10:29 ITS SO FUNNY 😂😂😂😂😂😂
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY MINECRAFT?!
@@pengxu9244Do you not enjoy the creepers I've set up for you?
12:26 Herobrine's last words: Yes.
@Goose The Cat yes
19:13 technoblade reference

You know if I have to be honest Alan you have done a fantastic job with this series since the very beginning and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ending to it thank you Alan for making such a great series and I can't wait to see what you have next in store for us and I hope you Alan and everyone here have a great rest of your day today and tomorrow.
12:43 For you want to see if king know his son is dead
Now that peace has been restored in the AvM universe, I wonder what's in store for the next season. Well, Alan already has been doing "actual shorts" for AvM before ep 30, so he can continue doing that. There's also a possibility that AvA comes back and the stick figures tell the whole story to Alan.
There are other games they could do if they’re taking a break. Mario maker Sonic Dino run Fnf Smash bros Mario party Wreck it Ralph Contra Metroid Megaman Etc
@@aniocitex1131 whoa mario maker is almost the same as minecraft
@@gaco577 true. I kinda hope they do animation vs smash bros. Red- Ryu, pikachu, or dk Blue- sonic, sheik, Lucario Yellow- pac man, mr game and watch, megaman Green- link, captain falcon, bayonetta Orange/tsc-Steve, Kirby, or villager
Animation vs call of duty
I'm not sure how they could continue the story, unless the king's son actually survived the system crash, or his own netcode wasn't compromised.
Alan is able to make us all physicly cry with stickfigures whitout even any text involved.
Captions on AVA IV and V:
6:09, stick society is surrounded by racism (amazing animation btw)
it's funny how they take a SERIOUS video with humor after like 4 o 5 months of pure fluid animation. congratulations alan becker and all of his team!
I was hoping to hear more from Alan. I'm sure he put so much energy into it, that he just wants it to speak for itself. Alan and his team are amazing!

32 minutes of solid, emotional, thrilling animation. truly amazing
17:40 I GOT MILK FOR YOU PURPLEEEEEE
19:11 it reminds me of our Technoblade😭😭😭
Everything that I got from the last few episodes... purple was all alone, and knowing where the crew was, was willing to help someone to prove to himself that he was strong. This made purple look to the king as his father, whom he tried to prove something to. But in the end, he was betrayed again, thus making him feel alone in the world. The king, haunted by his past of losing his own son only knew what he was doing after purple was on the point of getting whisked way like his own son, and jumped after purple Eventually, when everything was back to normal, the crew hugs purple, showing that green wasn't lying about them bieng forgiving.
I love pigs in crowns! i've only met two, but it's weird that it's happened twice. what a phenomenal episode, I'm always thrilled with the director's commentary, I love knowing little fun facts, and of course DJ is hilarious :D
I just realised that the glass break near the end was King Orange shattering the glass Gold was behind. This is such an amazing series.
DJ has so many quotable lines in this one, including, but not limited to "Im griffindor with my group, slytherin when im alone" and "It's going to take a second, we're playing hot potato with a nuclear bomb" And well done everyone who worked on this. Yall deserve an award 🏆
I absolutely LOVED the callback to the first episode of the series with Herobrine possessing Red and creating the same obsidian stick figure to fight The King.
Like they're so good and DJ with the funniest jokes I've encountered was amazing.
It's honestly crazy to me how this sort of story could all come from a simple funny game made in 2011 about placing blocks. At it's core, that's all Minecraft is. Breaking blocks to places somewhere else, or use as materials to make things to help you get different blocks. And yet it's because of that sheer vastness of a blank template that can allow so many people to make such cool art out of it. I've seen plenty of people use Minecraft as a tool to tell stories with, and a lot of them can be great. I've never seen one like this though. Animation Vs. Minecraft, to me, isn't just an amazing, passionate series built around a neat concept, but, and I know this is a bit dramatic to say, but, the BEST example of the potential of free use, and remix culture on the internet and what makes it so great. While Minecraft is an important part of the series obviously, it's not JUST static footage of the game like some other series. It's 2D, sometimes 3D styled Animation of the world, and used in a unique way. As the series goes on, you can really see the ideas and potential grow as time passed, from basic episodes themed around ideas, to new characters being introduced and hints to a widerscale plot. By the time the king is introduced, Minecraft is hardly even the *focus* anymore. It's just part of the greater story that revolves around the characters. It's the setting in which all of the story takes place, like a fantasy setting for a tale of adventure, or a sci-fi setting for a tale of exploration. And this is what I'm talking about. Alan evolved the series in such a way over time, that Minecraft became, basically a template for him to build off of...exactly like how the game is meant to be. Minecraft *is* a sandbox game, so vauge in it's rules and deeper meanings that you can make it into whatever you want it to be. And he made it into a tale all his own. This is by far the *best* way to tastefully use the work of a popularized media creation, use the setting, the rules, and what makes it special as a template for you to build off of, and create your own original concepts on top of that base. It's a story unique to it's own, with something you recognize and hold dear to your heart. It's a result of Animated stickmen and Minecraft story telling coming together to make something new. And it's surely part of the reason why everyone recognizes the talent of this man enough to consider him on par with Pixar. AVM is..honestly something incredibly special. And I hope more people still come to realize that too. Though the title implies the two mediums are at odds..in truth, I do not think they could be more in harmony with eachother.
The Technoblade reference at the end, amazing
1:44 Omg DJ is right. The ultimate moral of this story aside from the friendship: do not sign contracts without reading them
It's hard to believe that this all technically started with 1 guy before KZhead and Minecraft existed! And now just like omg the storylines, the animation, the music, the teamwork- it's better than stuff in theatres!
i find it funny that king orange goes through the trouble of getting a command block by getting it off of someone like its a illegal item, while the others just find it by grabbing the game and pushing really hard in one direction
Just remember, all this started because Blue has a nether wart addiction. Edit: Wait, I have a question. If Gold managed to last until the glitched sun supernova'd, would he have survived?
Love how it came around for that.
Nether wart is literally a drug
Look like red is being haunted in the old day 11:40
watched the whole season (aka film at this point lol) in one go and the way the episodes segue is so cohesive and journyfull (if that's a word haha). truly a work of art
i dare yall to watch it with the voice over
