    I like how the Hunter Mercenary (I am not calling him "Poop Guy") looks like a stick figure from a cave painting, which is shown in his rough look and primitive weapons. I like how Hunter Mercenary also took down a Rhinoceros, a reference to the source material his character design is based on. You can also see how Agent Smith fought The Second Coming using the same UI techniques Alan used when sparring with his friends. Also, I think the Grey Boss is The Dark Lord, who got burnt so bad by being lasered in the face by The Second Coming, he lost his red hue and became grey. I might be totally wrong, though, so don't take my prediction as fact.
    Edit: I no longer believe the grey boss was TDL. It makes much more narrative sense that the grey boss is Victim.

    The Gray boss at the end is most likely related to Victim, the individual Alan created in his first Animator Vs. Animation . If you look around his office, you can see the _same exact tools_ used in that video, including the same old looks for the tools.
    Not only that, but in the first Animator Vs. Animation, *_Victim was not deleted._*
    Alan instead closed the application without saving. Now some people may see this as basically the same as deleting him. BUT I have a theory!
    What If... when it said 'exit without saving', it literally meant, _without saving Victim._ What if this is the _Vengeful Remnant_ of Victim, that has come from the dead, or survived getting whatever was done to him when he got ejected without being saved.
    Edit: Nevermind, it was never "exit without saving".

    • @forgottenanomaly2836
      @forgottenanomaly2836 Před rokem +88

      Actually, I have a better theory, cause I got the 'Exit without saving' thing false I guess... instead of exit without changing, it said "Save Changes?"
      This actually, is better for the theory that this is someone related to Victim. Because now we have the question; What changes were not saved? Where did he go, if not deleted. From what we can see, all of Alan's creations that have tried to ruin his life, could not be deleted. Would this not be the same for Victim?

    If anyone is wondering, way back in the days, there used to be an old medieval stick war game where you had to defend your tower/carriage against an oncoming slaughter of other stick figures. It looked very similar to the literal "stick war", you know, the flash game, but it used the strange exaggerated pencil style for their stick figures. The same one that "poop" is supposed to be. Even if Alan says he isn't a reference, I don't believe it. He even turns buff with flames portruding from his back! I remember those giants being a pain to deal with... I can't even find any video's, nor information on this game anymore. But for those that didn't understand his design, there you go. At least, that's my theory.

    Notice all the new villains are parallels of the main cast. 8-bit and red both are bold and usually the first to attack. Hunter and blue both use range mostly, but can have (effects potions for blue). Sign guy cop thing, (Not sure for a name) and yellow are both responsible and prepared. Glasses and Green both have leader vibes, not to mention they feel more like they are closer to the "boss." Victim and Orange are leaders, and both made by Alan they have similar backstories.

Side note I wouldn't be surprised to see a mind-controlled Orange and Chosen One, the color gang free orange from mind control, because... It'd be a fun story, and they team with Dark Lord for like 5 minutes to stop Victim and Brainwashed Chosen One. Or TDL works with the victim and fights chosen while TSC fights Victim.

    I love how "agent smith" pats TCO in the head when he pauses him. Its such a wonderfully jerk move, nice touch for the story.
    That gray guy is Victim for sure. It has the same design as Alan's other stick figures: thick lines, and a hollow head. A fricking HOLLOW. HEAD. like no other stick figure in the stick universe. The team, King, Purple, each of them has a full head, Only TCO, SC, DL, and Victim has a hollow head who are all drawn by Alan.
    Also TCO got a painkiller with that pause I guess. The bites and stabs from the ViraBot, the "glich charges", but mostly that last "thermite" thingy looked awfully painful.
    I wonder if they can think while being paused or its just blank darkness like sleeping or what? 🤔

    After reading several theories, the rocket symbol is not an Organization, it is a Labertory Confinemet, it's just like a Labertory Confinement named KSI in Transformers Age of Extinction. How you may ask? Well as we can see, TCO is locked up in a tube rather than a heavily guarded, fire proof, and electric jail cell. While SC is locked up in a cage, meaning that they might use them as experimentation, and Victim might be thinking about taking away TCO's powers so that he will never hurt anyone ever again, without knowing that he has changed for the greater good. So that means they will do everything they can just so they will take away TCO's powers for good while it's up to red, green, blue, and yellow to bust them out. Will they succeed? Or will they end up being locked up with SC? Find out next time in AVA shorts season 2!

      the boss is definitely victim from the very first animation, in the teaser, the stick figure that's being drawn isn't the chosen one, when alan drew the chosen one, he started with the head, and then the arms, but in the teaser, it's the head then the torso, then the arms and legs

    There were so many amazing details in this episode, they all went by so quickly that I'm gonna have to watch through this multiple times frame by frame! XD
    I'm in love with how this series is becoming like the Spiderverse of stick figure web animation, can't wait for the next episode!
    Speculation and notes:
    I'm pretty sure that the boss is the "Victim", the very first stick figure Alan drew in AvA 1. I have no idea how Victim survived not being saved in the Flash file, but I'm pretty sure that'll be explained in a future episode as a flashback. Very cool seeing those mercenaries representing all sorts of stick figure variants. The sunglasses one moves like a pivot animation, there's pixel art, there's the street sign figure, and the last one I'm pretty sure if supposed to be a cave painting, the very first stick figure in history. I might be entirely wrong, but that's the first thing I thought when I saw the bow and arrow.

There one is made look like out of flash pixel videogame, one made out of sign that you see everyday, the one with glasses move like someone made it with Pivot and there also one made like a caveman drawing, somehow inside the internet. Just to show, how human have been make stick people has many shape and design live inside their computer. I think their boss might be Victim from the very first Animation vs Animator, and that video is like a part of old CZcams with how so many people amaze of how one simple stick fight can make people want to make more stick drawing to put on the internet

And the 4 figures hunting down the black stick figure (forgot their names since i hadn't watch in such a while) the way each of them are animated is so amazing.
    The pixel figure seems to be from those random stick figure games
    The brown sketched figure looks like one of those cavemen stick figure games
    The regular stick figure is literally a stick figure art computer
    And the animatic figure was so funny.

    Theory- The boss is victim and he fled to the aptly named internet world similarly to how the chosen one did. Over time he gathered the most powerful items from Alan's computer and the most powerful stick figures of all time (16 bit stick fighter, caveman drawing/ primal, instructional sign and the boss, who I'm sure we will learn more about) to perhaps exact revenge on Alan by destroying his computer. Getting rid of the chosen on would be a logical first step in doing that.
