Does anyone else think "The Secret War" would make a badass video game
play the metro series
@@c4nc3rplusplus Yeah I thought about metro too. Never actually played it but I know some of it
It did.
You ever play any of the original Wolfenstein games?
A lot of us brother
And feature length movie
The episode Good Hunting had enough story to make itself a whole show. Such a badass revival.
Burnout Burrito soo true
honestly most of them could become really good shows.
@@salemas5 Yeah, some could be continued stories, others wouldn't have to be connected, like the hitler one, that can't be continued but can be expanded upon with other historical figures. Others wouldn't need to be continued, like the yogurt one.
Ikr
I feel like "Shape-Shifters" would be a badass movie or video game.
Zima Blue was never a biological person, he started as a pool cleaning machine, eventually becoming self-aware and a famous artist, and then decided to go back to being a pool machine for his final piece of art.
My all time fav
he had learnt everything about the universe but the one thing he wanted after knowing everything was complete blissful ignorance and being an irrelevant cog in the machine, i found the message to be down the line of if you look for too much in life and get that you will want to remember what it was like before you were cursed with all this insane knowledge. Easily the best episode
Think its based on a real event. A pool cleaning guy really became famous in the pandemic era on tiktok.
@@sashasims5692 the only good ep of the serie.
He did the machine equivalent to "return to monke"
Watching good hunting was so satisfying for me, when she was able to turn into a fox again I got so happy
Too bad she cant breed anymore, she no more vv.
Such a bad series... it's so telling about people nowadays that it's popular.
Thats why it was my favorite episode. Not only was the animation stunning, but the ending was satisfying and justified.
@@mr.givings8080 she can breed robot kitten

In Beyond eh Aquila Rift the alien isn't actually evil. In the short story it's based off, the alien is trapped there and when new ships arrive, she puts them into a virtual reality showing them a better life so that they die peacefully rather than in the horror of being lost alone in space. She's more of a nurse helping people to the other side since there's no escape form the station. That's why she says, "I care for all the souls that end up here", because she's taken it upon herself to look after all the people that end up dying there. The two other members of the crew actually died from their stasis tanks, if you look at the details on the tanks, they're both painted with custom designs. In the original story, the paint ages and peels off, choking the air filters they use to breathe in the tanks, suffocating them in their sleep, Thom doesn't have his painted which is why he survives for much longer. The alien tell;s Thom about how there are these warp gate's across the galaxy in clusters, and that she was sent to the station hundreds of years ago as well and that Thom and his crew are (if i remember right) the first humans she has encountered.
Haven't made it there in his review yet. Unlikely to finish video due to it just being summaries.
But, I could understand mistaking the entity as evil in the episode version. Having a fondness for dark twists, I could easily picture her, as presented, keeping them in VR and happy while she feeds on them to keep herself alive.
What is the name of the short story it is based off of?
@@criticalgeekdj3096 its called beyond the aquila rift by alistair reynalds, the book is a collection of short stories by him, he also wrote zima blue (which is also in this book)
I haven't read the story but that's how I thought things were, like why would the alien ever bother showing the reality if it were evil?
I don't think they actually watch the episode to be honest. It was pretty clear the alien wasn't evil but in fact good. She was clearly caring for them and stated it. The only reason she hid that from them is like you said it was too horrifying. So once he freaked out she put him back in it. There was no food and she was keeping them in a stasis pod alive as long as possible.
This was fun, but Greta wasn't evil, ships keep crashing into her home and she tries to protect and comfort those who end up there as best she can, there's no feeding going on here, she just can't do anything more for them than she does.
Yeah, that's wbat I gathered. I it was either her home from the beginning, or somewhere she was also sent to and, using the apparently powerful psychic abilities of her people, simply helped people cope with their inevitable deaths by giving them a happy ending. Misguided, but not malicious.
Though it would make sense that she feeds off their energy or something as well. Sort of a give and take. She drains them of their life force to kill them faster, end their suffering, but she doesn't do it like an animal or an evil creature would.
She feeds of the people who crash there.... Let's take this from a Primal view.. You may walk through a wolves den.. But if they try to eat you.. They're your fucking enemy..
@@mrdrebin123 oh, pls, just shut the fuck up!
what it says and how it actually is are different. If it cares for them so much then why is it toying with him and ignoring the women. Why isnt she going all lesbian on the women huh? HELLO
@@nguyenmanhcuong5710 I love the taste of the salt in the tears of shattered dreams by raw truth.
The episode "The Secret War" absolutely could, and should, become an entire series in and of itself.
Indeed
It was the first episode I saw, thought it was a game lol
they could probably get away with turning a ton of these episodes into movies or series
Most of these short stories could. The writing in this show is amazing
"Good Hunting" really left me in tears
Duy Nguyen it definitely deserves its own series
*I felt so bad for her....imagine getting your entire body replaced with mechanical limbs...*

This one was my favorite she stopped being a victim.
I think some of these episodes can be turned into movies. I can call these conceptual short films, if you may.
good hunting deserves a movie or a show
@@federrr7 Naah I don't think so much of GH to a movie, maybe an anime/series, it's really awesome that episode, the Steampunk version and the story of the girl helps to make it to a bigger story.
Beyond the Aquila Rift is a good example of a mindfuck and horror movie, like it needs an explanation of what the hell is that place, and that disgusting alien/monster/...thing; even though the short explanation is that the machine send them to that place and the alien affect the minds of the captain and crew, now living in a pleasure dream until they die of hunger.
Another example could be The Secret War and Three Robots, first one is awesome but needs more action scenes and the second could be a comedic movie showing the perspective of them using more of the things that left the humans behind.
Fallen Warrior i think the first episode should also get a complete Show, These monsters are so amazing and there could be more Exposition about the world and where these Monsters come from (for example: why did. they use organic creatures and not just Robots should be easier to Control and Build a Robot than something organic )
Sunnie's edge for sure
Jia L. Sonnies Edge would be a dope ass video game
You failed at explaining the ending of Aquila. :(
The spider is not evil.
Actually you didn't explain anything.
Agreed. He got it all wrong and didn't explain shit.
It is just a lonely spider, manipulating people's dreams.
He just summarized the episodes🤣🤣
I just got fokin clickbaited😡
She felt sorry for him
She wanted the d
The secret war was easily the best episode, it had a lot of emotion to it in the short time frame of the story. It showed true human valor and bravery and the will to hold back an evil that the protagonists know they can't stop, but just to hold it back long enough for people who can stop the creatures.
Reminded me of the taking of the reischstag by the Russians in cod waw
My personal favourite has to be Sonnie's Edge, but secret war is great as well
Obviously it was inspired from cOD Zombies but soviet soldiers never lacked courage and valor
Lucky 13: I think you missed the point that the ship had a sort of AI and cared for cutter as much as she cared for it. This is shown to be the case when she sets the auto destruct sequence and rather than going off at 0 it wait to do maximum damage, also when it jammed the seatbelt cord in order to save her life letting go seconds after a fatal blast.
3yrs late but I still adore this show so; the point of that episode was very surface level, i dont think there was an AI, it’s all about luck, if there’s an any explanation to that episode.
@@wetstepbruther You know I can respect that argument. This is the perfect kind of debate that sci-fi fans have, was it dumb luck or was it a normal computer slowly gaining sentience? Your take on it actually gives me a new appreciation. I feel like this argument would have been better if there were less shots from the ship's cameras.
And 3 years is nothing in the face of endless sci-fi LOL
@@lordkayxI agree with you they made it seem the ship had sentience
Even the mechanic corrects her in the beginning, when she says "a ships a ship" and he tells her that's not true. That they have personalities and souls. It's never actually "shown" that lucky 13 is sentient, but with the way it waits to self destruct at the end highly suggests it is. That's the beauty though, how did YOU interpret the story.
@@FalseHoodx TY!
The fact that every episode makes me want to see an entire show commited to it shows how good those stories are
Imho The Dump is horrible
Enrico Baccilieri And the Yogurt and Helping Hand episodes
@@hiddenfossil999 I enjoyed both of them. The Yogurt is tragic and I loved it. Helping Hand reminded me Gravity of Cuaron, that episode is terrific
Enrico Baccilieri the yogurt episode just seemed disturbing and unnecessary to me. And Helping Hand felt illogical. In the back of my head I knew there had to be another way for her to get out of that situation without having to lose her arm and put herself at risk
@@hiddenfossil999 pretty sure the yogurt episode was a joke from the creators, but if you look deeper into it, you should understand there's stuff hidden in that. But a Normie like you, wouldn't understand.
Your interpretation of Beyond the Aquila Rift is actually wrong. The creature does not “trap” these ships and feed off of these people. The hyperspace drives that they pass through are ancient technology of which no one knows the origin(kinda like mass effect), and randomly they will “glitch out” causing the ships that pass through it to end up in these aliens territory. This alien is actually hyper-benevolent and cares deeply for the creatures that get stuck there, and with no way to send them back to where they came from, she alters their consciousness to give them the illusion of something bearable to them to keep them happy for the rest of their lives. However, the mind control rarely works, and the humans usually eventually find out, but she keeps trying non-the-less. The reason I know this, is because it’s based off of a short story.
thats what i originally thought.. but there are other spiderlike creatures on those astroids.. u can see some claws/hands on the top right when it shows the ship being stuck in web. i think they're ancient creatures who do feed off of the dead ones but she fell in love with tom and therefore kept him alive as much as possible. but since he is human he will eventually die so keeps him in state of blissful ignorance of the reality
aw that's actually really sweet
Kind like the accidental discovery of Xen dimension half life
@@hosenOne1 Wrong, Jesus christ, people want to make this more than what it seems to validate their opinion. The short story answers everything. Before you come at me with your "interpretation" listen to the god damn short story which is made by an amazing author named Alastair Reynolds.
Yeah I got that sense. The spider seemed so sad.
What truly amazes me is how every single person likes different episodes differently. There is an episode for everyone!
I loved Secret War’s action section. The music in the background of these men sacrificing themselves is absolutely amazing and that sequence alone makes it one of my favorite episodes
perfect episode
u missed the entire point of lucky 13. The ship had a personality. It waited until all the enemy fighters got on and near the ship to blow so the pilot could be safe.
Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot.
I saw it as more it didn't want to go at all. Until it realised the sacrifice it wanted to make for itself. I don't believe it was its intention to allow the detonation from the beginning.
Pilot was also unable to move as some type of cable did not want to unplug in cockpit. But if that would not happen and pilot land on deck then incoming missile would kill her, when cable unplug she fell exactly in place where missile struck second earlier.
Galvars Once again, Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot.
Lucky 13 was based on a short story written by Marko Kloos to give some backstory for a character (the pilot) in his series ‘Frontlines’. The ships not smart, it’s just lucky. And they’re not fighting aliens, the enemy is the Chinese/Russian alliance.
For the Aquila Rift episode I was actually confused if they'd had suddenly chose to hire real life actors...turns out it was just REALLY REALLY GOOD CGI. i'm beyond impressed by those graphics.
Actually, pardon me if I‘m wrong, but I‘d say they simply did motion capture and then cgi‘d over it.
@@lyrabonbon5931 You are correct.
....but it's Hugh Jackman
@@lyrabonbon5931 motion capture is just movement and animation. They can create the same animation without motion capture, but it takes time. Models rendering and everything else is 3D.
Joseph Green but creating animation without pre given movement makes it either look clunky and unnatural, or damn hard to recreate life likeness.
It‘s not worth the trouble, let alone animating the faces.
Am I the only one who LOVES The Witness
Loved that twist at the end...and the anime
Yeah the end reveals that it’s a endless loop of time is so great and also the zima blue is good
I thought it would be a cycle of him killing her so I got caught off guard
The art style is really weird and there were some uncomfortable moments but I loved that twist.
I think it's a work of art and really good animation.
Well, I just binge-watched "Love, Death, and Robots", here are my thoughts on each episode:
Sonnie's Edge:
This really should have been its own series. It was too awesome for just one episode.
Three Robots:
Pretty amusing, honestly the ending made it darkly hilarious.
The Witness:
Well THAT was unnervingly trippy...
Suits:
Someone's been watching Aliens... and was inspired by the best parts of it.
Sucker of Souls:
A great survival horror short, kind of wish we got little more detail on some of the characters and their location.
When the Yogurt Took Over:
...the fuck did I just watch??
Beyond the Aquila Rift:
It's like Coraline and The Matrix had a satanic love child.
Good Hunting:
Beautifully animated with very likable characters. Once again, this should have been its own series.
The Dump:
Pretty bizarre but entertaining enough.
Shape-Shifters:
Must... Resist... urge... to make... Team Jacob joke!
Helping Hand:
Similar to Gravity, yet shorter and much more entertaining.
Fish Night:
This feels like a missing Fantasia short-HOLY SHIT A GHOST SHARK!!
Lucky 13:
How is it that I felt more for the ship than the human characters?
Zima Blue:
There isn't a word for how I feel towards this... and I'm okay with that.
Blind Spot:
Mad Max but with cyborgs. Once again, I'm perfectly okay with this becoming its own series.
Ice Age:
The main characters are way too nonchalant about what's happening.
Alternate Histories:
I will never get tired of watching Hitler die.
The Secret War:
This honestly should have been an entire movie.
You didn't understand Aquila Rift, go back to the simulation because your not ready yet.
@@efxnews4776
It's not that I didn't understand it, I just didn't have the right words to describe how I felt about it.
@@darknessrising2453 sorry if look that i'm pick on you...
Aquila Rift is hard to understand because is way too complex to understand in one go, hell, look at the coment section about this ep? They are usually the ones with the most replys.
Truth is, the story in the ep is a bit incomplete, is the same as the original story, but is missing some important dialogues and scenes.
Also the artists take some liberties that give some darker tone to the story. add this with the lack of things to give more context and you make a ,mess.
I think the real problem is the format, Aquila Rift would benefit more 15 mim, but if go to extend, then is better just make a movie out of it.
And they could, just take what they have and make sequel that would just work as an expansion of the story.
They don't need to do a reboot, simple call back the same people to count a more complete version of it...
@@darknessrising2453 by the way, theres nothing satanic about that short story, quite the opposite.
@@efxnews4776 each to their own. good points made tho
I'd like to clear a few things on the amazing story of "Beyond the Aquila Rift". You can learn a ton of background information from the short story it was based of:
1) Humanity uses apertures that utilize a type of jump gate technology that was left behind by an unknown, ancient and highly advanced civilization. At some point eons ago the jump network collapsed, but a few immeasurably far apertures still work. Thus, the occasional glitch or system error can send a ship across the galaxy with no way back.
2) "Greta" the alien is not evil or predatory but actually benevolent. "She" along with her people were the first to get stranded there, and because of luck their ship was well fitted enough to turn a close by rock into a habitable place. To fight misery (and have a reason to keep living) they decided to take care of the lost souls that ended up there too. They use the supplies of the stranded ships to survive and make the life of the other castaways easier. Greta is essentially a hive queen and has a multitude of little drone-helpers (their appearance is hinted in the episode when we see real Thom exiting the surge tank from a top view).
3) Even though Greta feeds the castaways a data dream, respecting their freedom she always ease them slowly into the truth. She refuses waking the castaways though, even if they ask it. She states that she has done this "a million times", and when people find out the truth they go insane. Thom insists of course (but non-violently) and Greta wakes him. There is no screaming on Thom's part in the story because he only sees a tiny flash, a glimpse, implying that going back to the dream was either Thom's own choice or Greta's mercy.
4) The reason Thom is almost skeletal in appearance is because he is malnourished. Not to mention that he is barely able to breathe the local atmosphere. He describes the pain as if his veins are filled with powdered glass.
5) If you notice Suzy's surge tank, she has decorated it with stars. She paid a huge amount of money on them, because she hated the sterile corporate look. Her rebellious act is forbidden because it messes with the filters of the surge tank. A minor risk for small journeys, but fatal for such an unprecedented jump sealing her fate the moment she went to sleep.
6) In the episode the main color of the scenes change to imply mood and "reality". Its cold and blue in the dream, and feverish red and rusty in reality. Funny thing is that it aligns with the original story were the station actually orbits a brown dwarf.
I might be missing one or ten things, but this it guys and gals.
Edit: 500 likes?! Thank you! May you all have love, happiness and robots in your lives! ;)
Thank you. Definitive explanation!
Good explanation but I have a question: Why did Suzy flip out when she was awoken? If she was dead in real life and this version of Suzy was part of a dream / telepathic simulation fed by "Greta" then why would she try to blow her own cover by having Suzy attack her like that? I didnt understand that part. Unless Suzy was alive just like Thom and they were both sharing the same dream? I dunno.
@@BrokenSaintX I'm thinking Suzy is Thom's subconscious thought in the dream. Thom has already become suspicious after noting Greta's cut had 'healed.' The cut was a detail that Spider Greta overlooked in construction of the dream. Suzy, as Thom's subconscious thought, fights to make him become aware of his reality, which Spider Greta hesitantly reveals. That's what makes sense to me
@@BrokenSaintX The original story has a completely different scene that leads to the climactic revelation. They actually have the conversation over a glass of wine. When the adaptation of the episode was made, my guess is that the screenwriter had to change the pacing to make the story more engaging for the visual medium. Thus, what Charles W. Cherry II said is a brilliant interpretation, that couldn't be analyzed in a better way.
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't agree at all with the idea that "Greta" was predatory, at least not at all intentionally. You get the idea that Thom is malnourished and possibly close to death, but the fact he is still somehow alive suggests he has been kept alive, rather than fed upon. Ultimately, felt really bad for "Greta", to do so much to keep people alive and happy, only to never be able to reveal anything real.
*Love, Death + Robots, and sometimes Cats.* This is the alternate title for the show.
Supreme IO would rather go with love, death + Robots and sometimes yoghurt
and tits
@@suphenny6724 Yogurt was only in one story I recall but cats were in a few.
more like "dongs, bobs and veganas"
@supreme and ? Then love death robots and loads of tits would be more fitting
Sonnie's Edge is based off of books by Peter F. Hamilton, and set in the same universe as the central trilogy: The Night's Dawn Trilogy. This short story is from "A Second Chance at Eden" a collection of short stories. I'm pumping the books because they are all good!
I do wish that someone would adapt and make some movies or series based off of this universe. I can only imagine how visually stunning some things from the books would be if put on the big screen...
An important part you missed in lucky 13 was that the ship waited a while to explode, killing all of the enemy troops, implying that it does have a bit of a personality
You... *Sigh* you didn't explain the endings. You summarized each episode.
You...don't need to *sigh* do this -_-
Did you even watch the whole video
Ever just steal comment ideas
zozo still he didnt explain the endings
@@cyprus1005 he did
This show was really good, hopefully we can get a season 2!
sure you will get, probably in 2-3 years
N ao so they’re gonna pull a ‘Gorillaz: Animated Series’ on me???
@@mr_dinobutt as long as we get a second season.
It'll be some time as i imagine all the animation projects take a decent amount of time to look as great as they did.
@@chrisartis9585 I'm willing to wait as long as we get it. I hope the show is doing well
Secret war needs its own spinoff show. Those 16 minutes were so badass.
It would be cool if we got “episode 2” of the ones from the first season
As good as it sounds, and as much as I would love to see how many of these would continue, you know how sequels usually go. More often than not they suck really bad and just ruin the title completely. So maybe let's take it as it is, it's probably for the better.
I think they confirmed that all episodes are one episode and never will be touched again
@@azmatkhan3220 noooo
Three Robots got a sequel!! ish
@@PastelN01r yeah i saw, and it was hilarious
In the episode where the farmers fight for their lives, the zoom out in the end with the aliens and the domes represent that the humans invaded the planet not the other way around
Elon musk finally did it
The aliens still attacked them without trying to be peaceful. And it's not like they were intelligent enough to enjoy their planet.
@@spaceysteam5206 We're intelligent and make everything living on the planet less enjoyable.
@@spaceysteam5206 Typical HUMAN thought process. Judging what WE think is enjoyable, right, good etc and then projecting that belief. We cannot even accept other humans when their ideas dont match our own. Also, lets see how hard we try to be "peaceful" if an alien lands on our planet and begins employing their ways of life here.
Oh shocks ur right! It all makes sense. It reinforces the idea of excessive human occupation + 1 death of a human in exchange for the death of a swarm who lived in that planet in the first place!
You didn't explain any endings, you simply summarized them...
disappointed
StuffTube ikr
My thoughts exactly. Just another CZcamsr trying to get rich by not doing jack shit.
Pointless video
Maybe you’re just hardheaded.
StuffTube you’re an idiot he explains everything so you understand the ending
Three robots was such a charming episode, it should become a full series
I think about "Zima Blue" all the time. After he becomes sentient, his entire development as an artist and as a being is based around representing his most basic experience in increasingly complex ways. To me that is a very profound reflection on both the nature of consciousness and growth, as well as the purpose of art.
No matter how ambitious and grandiose his projects became, he was always striving to return to his most basic state. The more sophisticated and important he became, the further he strayed from his origin, and the more he longed to experience the simplicity of "Zima Blue."
I think the Shape Shifters episode highlights racism. At the end of the day it didn't matter that the Werewolf saved them all. They will always hate him for existing no matter what.
Except he IS different.
@X11 but he is right... Black,yellow, white... We are all humans... But if some beings would be better, people would envy them no matter what
Maybe they don't like him for going completely rogue on a military operation, and for willfully not disclosing information (the enemy's identity) to feed into his hero complex of having to go it alone (and expecting a hero's welcome after). I'd distrust him too. Not for being different, but for clearly only caring about his own agenda and not considering HIMSELF to be part of the unit. If this is about racism, HE HIMSELF is the racist, thinking himself and his views on the matter more important than his brothers in arms who's opinions he doesn't even consult, he decides for them. He just sneaks off for a vendetta. Both of these things are grounds for court martial, and with good reason.
What? They should be grateful that
a. he lies to a superior officer about the identification of a target?
b. abandons his post for a vendetta?
c. does not consider them worthy to stand beside him, or atleast behind him in this fight?
d. does not even consider them worthy of deciding this for themselves?
I would not trust this loose cannon at my back in combat. You don't need heroes, you need a unit you can count on. Before he "saved them all" (out of sheer dumb luck), he ABANDONED them. If he had lost, they would've ALL been screwed.
@@ralphrombauts3725 "HE HIMSELF is the racist, thinking himself and his views on the matter more important than his brothers in arms" this wouldn't make him racist...
@@salmaabdullahgb Salma Abdullah You're right (if you look at just that one sentence from my entire post), just a narcissist with a serious sense of superiority. I don't believe any of it is about racism or xenophobia. But FlowersInTheRain does. If we DO view that episode in that way though, it's the protagonist that's the racist, not the other way around.
You don't even quote the entire sentence, because the start of that sentence says exactly what I'm now pointing out again. IF we look at this episode as a comment on racism, the racist is the protagonist, not the other way around.
Don't cherry pick.
I feel like it is important to mention that it appears that Lucky 13 actually saves Cutter's life (the seatbelt jamming just before the lower half of the ship explodes) almost as though the ship was in some way alive.
Also Lucky 13 stops it Self-destruction
because it doesn't want to die but it's only after the enemies swarm it that it decides to sacrifice itself to keep her alive because of the regret she shows when she has to Scuttle the lucky 13.
@@wraithflaire1639 Oh, true. I dislike the concept of an alive ship. The graphics were good but it was badly done.
@@wraithflaire1639 I actually think that Lucky 13 postpones Self-destruction to lure more enemies so it's sacrifice will have most impact and meaning.
Yea, I feel like Lucky 13 was sentient to some degree, and she chose to protect Cutter by only doing the self-denotation after all the enemies were on her, so that she can take them all out, thus saving Cutter and the marines
@@lralowicz agreed! lucky 13 waited on purpose for all the enemies to get on her, before exploding! just like how cutter was attached to 13, 13 was also really attached to cutter and wanted to save her
I don't think I can just pick a top 5 because I loved pretty much every one for various reasons, but my favourite's definitely Good Hunting. Asian mythology, steampunk and cyborgs is all you need to win me over honestly, but Liang and Yan's friendship was really sweet and the ending was so satisfying!
Season 2 is coming tomorrow!!
Can't wait I just saw the trailer
It’s uh 2022, not 2021. 12 more months
@@user-fg9xe5kq4q no it comes out tommorow
So disapointing tbh
Season 1 is soo much better.
I love the randomness and how each story is completely different but always has such a well developed story in less then 10 minutes this is how you challenge animation and story give someone a short amount of time to develop a character and it inspires the animator and director to be creative
They have used the stories from so many amazing Sci-Fi books. it is great to see them getting so much love. I own so many collections of Sc-fi short stories, and there is so many more I want to see get made. It is a very underappreciated book genera.
Zima blue was sooo deep i stays in my mind for weeks
The piano riff at the end was hauntingly beautiful and added so much to the scene.
Zima blue has left me in a bit of an existential crysis. I worked in a cosmetic factory starting at the age of 12, most of my time was spent screwing on bottle caps stacking pallets and mopping floors. I spent 12 hours of my 13th birthday stacking boxes on pallets. By 16 I was running an assembly line. By 18 I was responsible for setting up and fixing the machines and at 22 I was production manager with approximately 30-50 employees under me. In 2 years the company saw roughly a 1200% increase in business and it almost destroyed the company because we didn't have the foundation/man power to build upon. A year later I was replaced by not one but 3 people with various colledge degrees. I always felt like I failed a bit, but it took 3 people to successfully do the job i was trying to. I was working 90-100 hours a week. 16 hour days were a norm. I was sick and miserable but making very good money for my position. Now struggling to get by with little education and limited work experience and a child and wife to feed I cant even begin to explain how much I miss the simplistic monotony of screwing on bottle caps. Far more joy can be found in the simple things than the stress of trying to live up to unachievable greatness and expectations. I'm a reasonably smart person mostly from reading and self education but without a piece of paper to certify that most employers could care less. This story of Zima Blue gives me the strongest feeling of self examination I've ever had other than maybe Nietzsche or Platos allegory of the cave. Enjoy the simple things, you may not know how important they are till they're gone. The universe is such an overwhelming concept, it doesnt hurt to narrow your focus to a single blue tile every now and again.
Same dudw
Oh hi fellow shmebulock
yeah that one was my favourite by far.
I'm a bit confused about Zima's past though, was he an artist that got his body converted into a machine or was he a machine that evolved into a cybord/android?
Fish Night, felt like the story of Icarus and Daedalus but instead of the sun it was night and under the ocean. It highlights the carelessness of youth. That short was underrated.
So in no particular order, my top 5 were:
The Witness - loved the rich backdrop of colour that reminded me of downtown Hong Kong. The pace was frantic and I'm for the endless loop of each one trading places again and again.
Three Robots - I could not stop laughing whilst watching this. This was the the first episode on Netflix here, and drew me in to watching the rest.
Zima Blue - This was high art from beginning to end. Just gorgeous with a most satisfying ending.
Good Hunting - Ahh revenge is sweet. The way the characters moved on screen was glorious. I really liked the contrast of the Victorian / Jules Verne / Steampunk city against the historical village and the way that the young couple metered out revenge of the imperialist POMEs :)
The Secret War: Horror is not my favourite movie genre, but this was straight out of Lovecraft and was drawn immaculately.
How is secret war anything like lovecraft
It’s not even close to anything from lovecraft.
My top 5 are:
5) They
4) Are
3) All
2) Good
1) Zima Blue
XolClips zima blue😭😭😭😭
Agree
Agree 100%
Yup
XolClips lol Same. The art style was exaggerated, stylistic and beautifully fit well with the tone and plot of the storyline. It was the only animation that I watched more than once out of 18. Truly amazing message too 😍
I think what made this series so good is that they ARE shorts. Making movies or series out of any one would diminish the magic (blatant Good Hunting reference...sorry). Keep their magic, keep an wanting more, KEEP THIS SERIES GOING!
The variety and concise stories is the strength.
Exactly! That's what people aren't getting, they need to do this same thing in S2, get all new animators, all new stories, and keep them the same length.
I know you speak the true true but fuck I'm so in love with beyond the Aquila rift I just need more I dont care dripfeed that shit into my veins. It's been a long long time since I connected to an animated piece like that. Zima blue had me too but I'm okay with not seeing Zima again... Greta though.... Fuuuuckkkkk
Some could expand into series like lucky 13 and suits but i dont see zima blue being any longer.
you want one of two things sin a series, you want a clear-cut direction with a clear cut ending that you kinda know where it is from where you are in the story, or you want something massive that is world building and lets you formulate endings or new stories. Stuff in the middle feels dragged out but not free enough for you to formulate your own stories. You just sit and wait for it to end and then criticize the ending because it wasn't what you envisioned. These stories meet the first criteria very well. Short concise and don't let your mind wander.
The people who want whole series don't understand, shorts like this have been around in animation since day 1.
The Witness 100% was a metaphor for a toxic relationship! “They are in a cycle where they both murder each other but then chase them saying it’s okay, come back I just want to talk”
I would love a whole series even if miniseries of Sonnie's Edge as the animation, story, concept, and everything was just beautiful making me really want more.
first show in a long long time that I binged. Loved it! Really want a second season. Enjoyed the funny ones and they were in the right spot to break up the heavy content.
I couldn't agree more! These shows were great!
There Is no "second season" since they are short films with no correlation to each other
@@Femaqui07 a second season as in more stories
@@Femaqui07 Black Mirror had 3 seasons so far....

Love, Death + Robots is ABSOLUTE HEAVEN for Scifi and Fantasy fans. Thank you, Netflix.
Don't thank Netflix, thank the minds behind deadpool and house of cards.
What's weird for me is how the episodes on my Netflix are in a completely different order than what everybody else has. Here's how my Netflix arranged the episodes:
Three Robots
Beyond the Aqualia Rift
Ice Age
Sonnie's Edge
When the Yogurt Took Over
The Secret War
Sucker of Souls
The Witness
Suits
The Dump
Shape-Shifters
Fish Night
Alternate Histories
Lucky 13
Blindspot
Zima Blue
Same here... Don't know why
Me too and when I pressed play on the show it started me at sonnies edge
A thing I love about The Secret War is that's it's something that finally shows that people can't out run something collapsing, the two Soviet soldiers who set up the bombs don't out run the crumbling ground around them and most likely get crushed or eaten, and I like that in a bunch of movies you can find the main protagonist outrunning some crumbling thing and surviving, wether it's the rooftops of buildings or the San Francisco bridge they always know the perfect way to step and are just faster than gravity, and I'm just glad The Secret War finally showed how it would most likely really happen.
I had to double take while watching Beyond The Aquila Rift. The CGI was so damn good, I thought it was two real people fucking at first. In all seriousness, this series was awesome. Glad I just randomly decided to watch it this morning. And since the episodes are short, I binged the hell out of it.
@@cory5197 I did too!!! 😂
I binged it last night and I watched it again today, then let it keep playing as background noise while I cleaned and read. It's such a cool show/series. Reminded me of Animatrix with the different art styles and stories. I haven't found anything on Netflix that really caught my attention like this in a while.
Lol. You not seen cgi porn ?
The Marvelous One ya, it made me doubt the live action episode for a long time
One thing tho, did they arrive at the alien hive by mistake or is the alien itself hijacked the ship?
you have the suits ending wrong.......
The farmers are invading the planet and, DB's are merely defending their planets from invaders.
That's quite a plot twist if that was the intention. I would've never thought of that.
Archaean it makes sense to me especially the view with the individual pods of humans. It's like an original set of humans were sent to this planet to start colonization
@@wockhardt5656 Yeah, they might've even forced the aliens out just to have a place to grow crops for another planet that has humans, but can't grow anything.
Archaean that's even more horrifying, reminds me of Christopher Colombus and when he met the Indians
@@wockhardt5656 Yeah, it's quite similar. It might even happen to earth one day, if we keep taking it for granted and end up destroying our fragile planet. We'll have to find somewhere else to sustain human, and plant life.
your channel rocks my dude, your breakdowns are always enjoyable to watch, keep doing your thing
Fun fact about Blur, they’re also responsible for the high quality cinematics in Halo Wars, Halo Wars 2, and Halo 2 Anniversary.
The interpretation of Beyond the Aquila Rift seems completly off.
I dont think the alien spider was evil or selfish. I think she did care for Thom (and all the other people that stranded there), but she also knew that he was going to die there, so she tried to ease the pain of the truth with the dreams/simulations. I do think she spoke truthfully. There was no way of sending them back and there was no way they wouldnt go crazy from reality, thus she gave them dreams, trying to find ways to explain what happened and where Thom is, so that he may not go crazy when she does wake him up.
I think the alien spider is using trial and error to archieve that (and pleasure is probably a solution that worked best to connect with Thom, thats why the dream includes a past love interest and sex). By removing the memories of the past dreams, she can try again over and over, which seems cruel, but is the only choice in her capabilities. Sure, it seems malicious, but when digging deeper I dont think it is. It is a dilemma. There is no solution. It is just sad, yet beautiful, that the alien spider has enough empathy to try to ease the pain and make the best out of the situation. Thats what I got out of it.
Maybe, a few dozen years in the future and more knowledged gained, the spider might be able to gain enough knowledge from stranded people to help them better or even send them back.
@@samuraimath1864 I just wrote a response:
www.reddit.com/r/LoveDeathAndRobots/comments/bcypbo/in_beyond_the_aquila_rift_the_spider_was/ekv3yv0?
It's kinda hard to interpret the ending for me. I think perhaps it's an analogy, and it's not considered either good or evil.
If I may, the species she looks like is arachnoid, and most humans have an innate fear of spiders. Who's to say she didn't try to greet them when they became stranded, and they went nearly insane with fear in the first encounter? She did mention "Lost one's," so she's probably been trapped there too, and is just trying to stay sane as well. Let's try to turn it around . . . it's like you're lost, and you find an old and creepy house . . . do you spend the night and rest, or do you press on, not knowing if you're going to find assistance? It's almost a no win situation . . . we're a fearful species by nature.
In the short story this was based off, 'Greta' mentions of others that arrived before Thom, who couldn't deal with the reality of their situation, and there was lots of "anger and suicides".
The story also went deeper to explain the Space Gateway tech they were using, which was essentially the Mass Effect story: ancient alien lost tech appropriated by humans. Only Greta mentions that the gateways were faulty due to eons of neglect. She was among the first to suffer the effects of the faulty gateway system, having arrived centuries before Thom and understanding the horrors of her fate, she resolved to help the incoming stranded.
You have to remove the arachnophobic aspect of the whole thing - she's just a alien that looks like a spider (to other aliens she's normal) - and focus on the uniting horror for everyone stranded there (human or alien spider kind shares this fear) = utter lost and isolation.
She had no reason to comply with Thom and break the simulation, if she had ulterior motives. Even if you're being deceptive, you never reveal the nature of your deception.
D33Y4 What makes you think she broke the connection? It slipped in and out after Thom saw through the illusion. The creature only showed him because it knows there’s no way out. Hence the spider having caught it prey in a web. It drained its victims and offered another view so they die slower. Do you leave your milk outside of a fridge or keep it cold to last longer😉
I think Fish Night was meant to be a creative retake on the Daedalus and Icarus mythos; however, instead of Icarus flying too close to the Sun, he swims too close to the Moon.
As for my top 5
1) - Beyond the Aquila Rift, The Secret War, Lucky 13
2) - Shape Shifters
3) - When The Yogurt Took Over
4) - Helping Hand
5) - Suits
That's a very good catch regarding the mythos!
Okee (meme)
Helping help was boring
that’s such a cool way to look at it
You mean your top 7.
I love that you were able to put sections in the video good job man!
I mean, the problem with the arm scene isn't so much that her arm froze enough for her to break it off and throw it, it's that the second her arm was exposed it would start to rupture the rest of her body as well, even if she tied it off. Unless she had cut the arm off prior to tearing her suit. she'd have died there.
Not to mention her better bet would have been just poking a hole in one of her gloves and using the smallest amount of air escaping to push her, as it'd act as thrust with nothing to slow it down.
I like how the episode The Secret War stuck to the norm for russian war movie endings. The brave and valiant last stand to death followed by the big guns rolling in.
Hey do you know the song one of the Soviet soldier was playing in the guitar looking instrument?
@@phoenixlord1700 it was the song used in the game Tetris. I think its called "the peddlers"

I swear Russia and America are like brothers. They hate each other but they are very similar.
@@clay-jp6zj The American people don't hate Russians. The American elite who are imperialists hate the Russian elite who are rival imperialists.
I think my favorite was The Witness. I just really liked the surreal art style and the entire episode felt exactly like a dream. Truly innovative.
The Witness had a beautiful animation style. I loved it except the eyes, they creeped me out lol
The animation and style to this episode blew my mind.
Alexander Adelmann it gave me Spider-Man into the multiverse vibes
@Darryl M liteally noone cares what gives you a boner
Alexander Adelmann Best episode. So surreal
you didn't mention and I think it'd be valid to look at the way Sonnie's last attack resembles an overcoming of a r4pe situation, by the way Turboraptor grabs the wall while pushing his blade into her and she gets the best by grabbing him back with her legs around. I think this might mean what she wants when entering the ring to fight those who did it to her
For "The Witness", I believe the first interpretation (about the time loop) make more sense, since it corresponds with the symbol of the snake eating itself at the start of the episode, which is called Uroboros and symbolises an eternal cycle. Also, if the story is about the woman being metaphorically chased by the ghost of the man, it would make more sense if the episode was called something like "The Victim" instead of "The Witness". But with the time loop interpretation, witnessing the murder is like the start and end of the time loop, making the title more appropriate compared to the second interpretation. Besides these, if the girl was really metaphorically chased by a ghost, it doesn't make sense with how the man was trying to explain something to her. If the time loop interpretation is applied, the man could be trying to explain to her that he killed the person on accident when he was fighting back.
This is just my interpretation tho (damn I said the word "interpret a lot)
I'd suggest that in Beyond the Aquila Rift the spider-like species might actually be pretty nice. It may totally be true that the hyper gate has a glitch that sends ships to exactly that far away location or it might even be another dimension.
The spiders reveal themselves on demand by Thom after all. He cannot stand it and it may be they delete his memories to heal the insanity from the total shock of seeing those (to the human eye) ugly and horrendous creatures.
It is hinted at that the reveal has happened to many trapped humans and noone being able to stand the strangeness of that reality even after many tries. It may also be that there is nothing to feed the humans and they slowly starve to death anyway.
If the spider species are evil why would they delete the memories instead of enjoing the total terror of the humans once they see their new reality.
Frank Krumnow yeah I disagreed with his viewpoint with that one. Why would she say that she cared if she knew that she’d eventually have to bring him back with no recollection. She also showed no harsh intent outside the illusion too and It would be such an unnecessary plot point and since because of the glitch they’re dead to the passing years on earth. Not to mention if they need the arch-Angel for big jumps they probably don’t have any juice to make it that far anyway.
Exactly, only idiots to be blunt didn't pay attention and go it's a monster and it eats people,
I love the first episode the Aquila rift because it shows one of my favorite topics, on humans and Isolation.
He movie from Studio Ghibli,m “The Red Tirtle also illustrates this point.
Say you’re stranded on a desert island. Would you escape or stay. No matter the option say you can’t leave if you built a raft you’d never survive for god knows how long our there. Or rather you escape on the raft and as the waves carry you away you see another person standing on the island, stranded just like you. But now you can’t go back. Would you have stayed happily on the island knowing you’d at least have a friend. Sadly that 2nd option doesn’t usually happen, you’d both just decide to escape.
So it’s option one, stranded on the island no way of escape, you’d enjoy having a friend. Tom Hanks had Wilson.
In the Red Turtle, the turtle turns into a lady and spends the next 50 or so years with the old man well into old age living with him. Until he passes peacefully.
And in Aquila’s rift, it’s the same thing, only a scary looking spider alien is helping lost voyagers who have no way of returning to the life they knew so she gives them the next best thing.
Favorite episode, because of the message. Humans want and need companionship
If you want a deeper story I highly recommend the audiobook of the same name. Its on youtube for free. It gives a more in depth approach to the “monster” and how its actually an alien that happened upon the asteroid field through the use of a port-key alien technology, just as Thom and his crew did. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
@@DoubleATrain I second this. Since my brain would also not accept the horrible reality that Thom was subjected to, and recognizing the name of the author (I have a few of his books) I instantly went and got "Zima blue and other stories"... The story about the turtle and the man on an island strikes me as the archetype for this story. A boy and his dog, simple companionship.
I think the spider thing is actually friendly. You can see the other passengers have died from impact of the crash they haven’t been eaten or removed from there hubs.
She was creating a simulated reality of his own mind so he doesn’t suffer his last days alive. I do genuinely think there was a fault with the flight route hence why other ships have crashed.
Yea, i hear people talking that its trapping ships and sucking folks dry. But i never got that vibe and its never really said out loud. We just assume its hostile because how it looks. But its alien to us so ofc we are disgusted by it. It even said it really does love us. It could be trapped there just like everyone else.
It makes a good point as well that human instinct towards other life is hostile without caring to look further
Exactly, it looks first as sexy female figure and then turns into spider
Henri elliot that’s what I thought cause she kept saying “I care for all the lost souls that end up here “
yes! and that tear dropping down her face on that long shot of her showing how anguished she looks at having to show him......AGAIN!
I really love the secret war, ending the whole thing with a bang, the CGI was the very best aswell, y can’t we have that for all the games that have came out
8:38 WAIT! That was CGI!?!
I want a TV series of Sonnie's edge!
Peter F Hamilton wrote the short story that was based on. If you are a reader, give his Nigh's Dawn trilogy a go.
I think I'd prefer a good hunting series but idk if that's just cause I love the art style but I wouldn't say no to Sonnie's Edge
Facts
There was a game called nanovor.. sadly The game failed But that is EXACTLY sonnues edge in a game .
Sameeee
This was one of the best things Netflix has made
The secret war gives the biggest Metro vibes ever.
Snow, monsters, guns and Soviets.
I noticed everyone else's Netflix has their episodes of this show randomized. We each watch them in different orders
I thought the ending of Suits was revealing that the humans were in fact the ones colonizing the planet, and the DBs were just defending their home.
woooow! never thought of it that way
agreed! totally makes sense!
Well I think they are just bugs with a common hivemind.I don't think they are intelligent creatures
@@engi6297 Doesn't mean humans aren't invading their world
@@ralphrombauts3725 Well you're right
Did you notice in lucky 13 that the ship's AI actually waited beyond it's programmed self destruct sequence in order to wipe out as many enemy soldiers as possible?
Yeah, it was noticeable briefly at the end. It became one with her apparently.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. I think the ship realized what type of person she was when she saved the soldiers in the being and that’s why it protected her until the end
Everyone noticed, the protag even says something to the effect of “she doesnt want to go”
@@a.j.mckelvy7968 I mean, I would like to believe everyone knew lol.
@BaySideTV what is great is it also could be "luck" that the ship simply malfunction, and detonated late. Its implied to be somewhat intelligent "She doesnt want to go" but the show also hints that it could entirely be the luck of the pilot. It is a nice duality that many of the shorts in the series share.
The episode with the ghost fish made me think it was some metaphor for the kid not taking the old man's advice that door to door salesmen were a dying breed. He didn't take his advice and continued blindly down that path to his destruction.
I really REALLY loved Blind Spot. Reminded me of the times I watched loads of MegaMan sigma and real steel for some reason. If I had to choose, I'd go for Blind spot if it became a series.
About the helping hand episode, she shouldn't have been able to remove her arm, space is about -270°C yes, but since there's no air to conduct heat, the only way for her arm to lose heat is by radiating in the infrared, which is very slow.
If when she removes the suit her arm is at 37°C, then, according to the Stefan Boltzmann's law, she should radiate about 524 J of energy each second for square meter of surface: since the skin surface area for an adult human is about 2 squared meters, her forearm would be about 1/8 of it by eye, so it would be emitting 131 J per second. Thanks to the heat transfer equation we can determine the amount of energy needed to drop her arm's temperature to 0°C, which is, assuming her forearm has a mass of 4 kg and a specific heat of 3 kJ/(kg °C), 444 kJ. That means that the drop in temperature would happen in around an hour.
Actually it would take much longer than an hour, because as the temperature drops, the amount of energy radiated drops sharply, since it depends on the fourth power of the temperature, slowing down the process even further, and to actually freeze stuff, bringing it to 0°C isn't enough, as extra energy transfer is required to change between states (see enthalpy of fusion).
Thank you
haha chilly arm go snap
man, i think my teacher of thermodynamics wouldn´t have explained it better (kind of)
and even slower because of heat transfer from her body to her arm
Thank you! This was the only reason I dove into the comments section here.
I think your interpretation of "Beyond the Aquila Rift" is wrong and "Greta" does want to help the astronauts that where unfortunate enough to get trapped in her hive. The gate tech looks alien which makes it likely that it was a flaw in a system the humans do not completely understand. Also "Greta" does not feed on the corpses since they look heavily decomposed. At the end I think Thom did not lose his memories but chose to ignore the revelation to make his inevitable death at least pleasurable.
Exactly my thoughts as well, "Greta" even says that she cares for all the lost souls that end up with her. She even cries when Thom demands answers, that's not the reaction of someone that wants to eat..
Maybe it was a computing error that caused so many ships to end up there but it's more likely that the Greta monster uses her otherworldly power to pull them out of hyperspace and feed on their dreaming minds.
Also, how much time passed since the ship got stranded? He was severely emaciated. "Greta" was draining his vitality methinks.
@@treacherousjslither6920 Draining life is wife stuff. Looks more like the life support is struggling to keep them alive.
Has anyone see the movie 'solaris'with gorge clooney?...the concept is very similar..grat movie if you liked this episone.higly recomend
The actual twist to Sonnie’s Edge was that Sonnie was the beastie, not the girl
I think the enemies in lucky thirteen are definitely human. The obvious reasons are that their technology, while seemingly more advanced, is very similar and their physique is very human. The less noticeable is that we get to hear them scream and it sounds very human. Their blood is red an another is that in the scene where the enemy is using an anti-air weapon you can see that it's labeled with a "T" and some numbers which are definitely human symbols. While I have your attention another thing I noticed in lucky thirteen that wasn't so obvious at first was how the ship's malfunctions actually save or help Cutter a lot. It's worth giving a watch again to find those, but one of note is when the ship only scuttles after all the enemies have taken position around and on top of it.
I demand 18 more episodes. Love the entire anthology
I think I read somewhere that they're going to release a season 2, so yay.
Season 3 is out
Shape shifters would be an amazing open world game!
Fuuuuuuck, i came a little
Skyrim with guns.
Half of these would be. Suits, Sonnie’s Edge, etc
@@Space_CowboyHD I could see Suits making a great farm sim/mech mmo
Wyrmwood it definitely would be, can you imagine having HIGHLY customizable mechs, using them to defend your farm with your buddies, and depending on how much the bugs messed up your farm, you’d receive higher or lower amounts of resources/money? This is one of those gamer “wouldn’t it be cool if...?” Moments 😂
Everyone is saying that he doesn’t explain anything about the endings and only summarizes the shorts, and while that is sometimes the case, he still explained a few things to me. In the very first episode he brought it to my attention that when Sonnie says her edge is fear, she means it’s because her real consciousness is now in her beastie. Hell, at that point I was just so surprised with my first LD&R experience that it didn’t even occur to me that her consciousness was probably only able to inhabit one other vessel.
I was just thinking “oh... OH DAMN-OHH! SHE GOT HER BACK OHHHH YOU DIDNT SEE THAT COMING! THIS SHOW IS GONNA BE F-NASTY!” That was just one thing he EXPLAINED to me.
On episode 3 “The Witness,” he provides, or one could say EXPLAINS two different possible literal and metaphorical interpretations of the short.
In “When The Yogurt Took Over” he EXPLAINS how the story is a great metaphor for technology, a parallel that I failed to draw up myself and now makes the episode SO much more interesting now.
Idk maybe I’m just a dumbass.
After he explained the yoghurt I now see it as a masterpiece. Before this I just skipped it it made no sense whatsoever to me thank you
Much love thanks for the good work
Surely you must have noticed that right before the boy in Fish Night joined the fish, he first jumped up into the air. Right above a canyon, no less. Could they have just been having the same hallucination, and the boy jumped down a canyon thinking he was joining the fish? Could it be that when the shark ate him, that was when he hit the bottom?
I thought they were hallucinating too
I think when he jumped off of that big ass rock he died and suddenly we saw his spirit
@@sepmyfor Thats it! Solved, the interesting thing here is his father.... imho.
natloziarap bruh i like how beautiful and dark these animations be
natloziarap whats about his father, he looked at how he son died 💀💀💀
I interpreted the ending of The Witness as men and woman always view themselves as the victim despite that they're hurting each other in the same way.
Whoa tats deep..
That's actually a good interpretation.
Thats a good one! I kind of want to add that it tells how there are 2 sides to 1 story. While she might have seen the guy as the attacker or bad guy, the guy just wanted to explain what happened and how he is innocent out of self defense.
So......the witness just kept playing on repeat when I watched it. Did Netflix do that or was it just the worst glitch to ever happen ever? When I went to fast forward on the bottom it showed the episode was don't and the frames showed the next episode but when I hit play it just kept playing the witness
@@greydouglas1 I didn't have that issue. Was probably just you.
14:35 yes your arm could survive at least around 5 or so minutes, because it’s been done before, as far as the whole arm breaking thing it’s similar to submerging an apple into liquid nitrogen, your arm after some time would get rock hard but easily brittle enough to snap it off effortlessly and if completely frozen, you probably wouldn’t feel a thing when braking off the arm segment because of numbness.
My favourite stories after watching the whole series at once yesterday:
1) Beyond the Aquila Rift (best story, no doubts - you can clearly see it was made by a writer)
2) Lucky 13 / Zima Blue (both holds an awesome idea)
3) Sonnie's Edge (would make awesome cyberpunk series)
4) Three Robots (a very human-like story, which is quite a paradox)
5) Sucker of Souls (totally the funniest one)
Honourable mentions:
- Shapeshifters (probably the weakest story, but I would LOVE to watch a series about it, haha)
- Suits (have a lovely plot twist about humans invading different planets)
Sonnie's Edge is actually a 'historical' piece set in the distant past of Peter F Hamilton's Night's Dawn book series. The core books are extremely heavy sci-fi, but he has quite a few stories that take place between present and the actual series, if you're interested look for 'A Second Chance at Eden' it's a collection of short stories (which Sonnie's Edge itself is in), it all has a somewhat similar vibe, though it gets further away the further in you get.
Won't lie, Sonnie's Edge was one of those stories that I read when younger and wanted it to be made into a show. You have no idea how pumped I was when I finally realized what the story was.
Beyond The Aquila Rift is an Alistair Reynolds work. Yes, a proper author.
I feel like you missed almost all of the minutia behind the episodes - which makes these explanations basically worthless. For example, the point of the 'Suits' episode is that humanity is invading another species' planet, while the entire episode it is made out to seem like we are being invaded. It's a statement about a whole lot of things, all of which you just gloss over while saying something akin to 'it's a Saturn-like planet with bubbles'. Yeah, I think we got that far by virtue of having eyes....
Cory Norell that
Completely agree. He completely missed the whole point of "suit".
Indeed. I was also saddened that he managed to have such a negative interpretation of beyond the aquila rift. I interpreted it as an alien creature who was caretaking humans that for some reason went off course the best way it knew how.
Corey Norell for President.
Yup humans invaded the earth...

what type of animation style or genera is The Witness? I have seen another short film like this cut can't remember the name. does anyone know any other short film of videos with this style of animation?
My favourite is Zima Blue. Made me cry. I wish i could write stories like that one day. Second favourite is the first one. Least favourite is the Hitler one, way too silly for my taste.
Yea the concept could've been better. I liked the first clip but it kept the focus on Hitler instead of other scenarios

sonnies edge needs its own spinoff i know because its one of a kind that makes it special but the plot and animation are beyond amazing i just need moreeeeeee
True indeed
I love me some good creatures and her beastie was gorgeous
So elegant. So deadly.
The music was matching the setting, it kinda reminds me of the video game Thumper. The same dark upbeat music. I would definitely like an entire show or movie about Sonnie’s Edge.
I think its to late for that. Without the Shortfilm it would be nice. But with the knowing that she is the monster, we'll know that she probably won't die. Maybe in the end.
As series it would be nice, with all the build up the world and maybe a late season 2 or 3 hint on whats going on and a crazy fucked up reveal in about season 4.
@@Darkbart22 What I thought about was the fact that she's now made up of zeroes and ones and as such she can be copied and backed up onto hard drives or whatever. So she shouldn't have to fear death either.
I love that everyone has a diffrent order on netflix for the episodes.
I remember my first episode on the List was 3 Robots
Me personally, I loved every single episode.
And I plan on rewatching the series countless times.
I actually had a quite different interpretation for Beyong the Aquila Rift. I didn't see Thom trapped in the web of a malicious space spider... I thought he was just stranded on an alien space station that's totally uninhabitable for humans and that the creature living there genuinly cared about him and felt regret that it couldn't help him to get back home. Out of curiosity I looked up the short story the episode is based on and it seems like the "Greta" creature and her people were the first ones stranded there and had enough resources to set up a sustainable station that kinda resembles an insect hive. Over time many creatures have landed there and she has taken care of all of them... so it seem like the creature is actually benevolent?
Of course that could all be a lie she feeds him, but if she just intended to eat him or feed on his mind it wouldn't really make sense for her to show him even glimpses of the truth. Tbh I find the explanation of an alien insect queen that watches over her mismatched multicultural hive more interesting than predatory space spider that eats everyone.
She feeds on the dreaming mind. A pleasurable dream results in a pleasurable meal.
I got same thing from the Story. In the anime the space spider actions not so clear.
he just woke up after he asked her and she agreed. statistically this means that he woke up because she let him and not random or because he wanted to. also, she clearly prepared him for the fear, saying she already did woke others up and they didn't make it mentally. once again, statistically, a simulation if it wants you to sleep, has no need to do this. i guess the message is things are not they look like. most of us have fear of spiders, especially when they are 10 feet big and look alien. but let's be honest = no signs have been shown that these creatures are aggressive with the survivors. they didn't even have carnivore teeth. it's just the way they look. remember the lightening effect, just before the big spider shows up, you think its a chick `? that was clearly done on purpose, to demonstrate you your own inner changes, that happens, as soon as you discover that it's not a chick. this episode shows you = you judge upon superficial criterium. you all have prejudices. would the guy have preferred to stay awaken ? or would he have "asked" her to bring him back to that dream ? what would their conversation or relationship be in the dream, after he found out about her ? would he ask her to bring him back to reality from times to time, switching between difficult to swallow truth and pleasant dream? isn't that what we all do with our lives ? I repeat = no sign of aggression or non friendlyness has been shown, coming from those creatures. the people lying around might all be in their own dreams, their weight loss might be due to long period starvation and luck of human food with which they could ve been fed by the creatures. the guys whole reasoning was based on his prejudices, to spiders and unknown worlds in particular notice how while all going good, enjoying the wine and sex, he constantly remains unhappy and seeks truth this is what we all do when life is good, we are bored and seek the unpleasant truth when we find it and it doesnt fit our expectations, we turn mad
I also believe that the spider was good. I think the ship did go off course and ended up at the hive by mistake. She then placed the survivors into the simulation so that they could not realize that they are no longer able to leave (as ship is no longer functional) and surrounded by spider monsters. Having that realisation would be horrible and frightening. As they where probably going to die anyway the spiders probably decided it would be better to live and die in a fake world which you can find happiness instead of learning the horrific reality. I also believe that only 2 of the 3 survivors had survived the spaceship crash (MC and girl) and they had been placed in the same simulation, but the other guy died which was why they had been told to not awakened him. (As he died in crash). The girl was probably taken out of the simulation (for whatever reason) and had learned of the spiders which is why she attacked. Lastly the spider did seem sad when the MC was taken out of the simulation. So when he seen reality and could not accept it, the spiders decided to erase all memory of the event and place MC back in.
@@mainlyglitches only problem with that is it shows her pod being messed up and her smoked in the reality trip. I think her acting out was more his subconscious signalling that something was wrong.
1. Beyond the Aquila Rift
2. Sonnie's Edge
3. Good Hunting
4. The Secret War
5. Three Robots
Zima Blue was the most genius one for me. A philosophical masterpiece. And it didn't even need any violence.
No zima blue?
@@Dustpuma1 didn't enjoy it that much
After the season 2 trailer dropping I had to come back here!!
This was an awesome series! Is there going to be a Season 2?
They could easily make a season out of EACH one of the stories and ill bingewatch all of them.
i thought of that too.... a second episode for each episode as season 2
Even Zima Blue?
Stinkerkill I would say, that it would be hard to make more episodes because many of the episodes had an ending
I feel like if they made a second season it would be more like robot chicken where non of the episode are related
They need to make new episodes of the shows within it
Leading to all the recent (ending) episodes
Like THE SECRET WAR
