I like how instead of immediately trying to destroy his entire computer like the last chosen did, first he just tries to get him cancelled on Facebook

I love that the overarching story of AvA is basically "animator accidentally creates sentient artificial life, immediately tries to kills it, then matures and grows as a person and starts hanging out with it instead."

"do you think it will happen again?" "well it's been 3 years and nothing's happened." - famous last words

Only now just realising that the guy he was talking to at the beginning was the first Kickstarter contributor. This was, and still is a masterpiece. I love this, your characters, and everything about the Animator VS Animation series. Thank you for creating something great :)

8:39 The way he does this makes me think he's been training for this ever since the original stick figure broke his computer

I love how Darren is just "oh, I don't mind that a stick figure you made SOMEHOW became self-aware, had Isekai powers, and blew up your computer". Like Alan is telling him what he did last monday.

Who's here in 2024❤

“You ended my friends. Now I will end you” THAT’S A COLD ASF LINE

Even 8 years later, this is still an absolute timeless masterpiece

I love how at the beginning, the orange guy didn't want to destroy Alan's computer like the previous stick figures, he just wanted to have fun, he even comforted the sad emojis, he was just sad that Alan deleted his friends.

Who else came back to his oldest videos just to understand his lore of these characters which are so detailed and a work of art?!

12:31 He still got the skills from The Chosen One. Happy to see he used his powers to not just have fun with stick fighters, travel into many adventures about minecraft, and other stuff, but fight with his first version. Sure would be cool if it really exists...

8 years later he made a 30 episode series about these stick figures with 3d aspects. 🌟

It's curious that Chosen was immediately hostile the moment he came to life, while TSC is all innocent, childlike and full of wonder

3:05 the beginning of a friendship

after all these years now Ik why he's called The Chosen One's Return and The Second Coming

Who could've guessed that these guys would turn into the most loveable animated characters ever?

I love how the animator never learns his lesson "This stick figure destroyed my computer, welp, time to make another one!"

Absolutely a timeless great video. 9 years later and still epic

This is the sweetest thing ever. Really didn’t expect such an emotional performance by the stick crew here.

I can't believe this is eight years old now, I remember watching it when it just came out.

This was BRILLIANT. Oh my goodness, why is my heart breaking over an orange stick figure. What have you done. You can LITERALLY bring lines to life

tsc be like: alan:are u gonna help me animate tsc:no alan:why tsc:u ended my friends alan:oh *reloads stick figure fight* tsc: *literally agrees in a nanosecond*

0:00 "hey,i was forced to do these subtitles please help" alan what have you done😰

dude i actually felt an emotional connection there at the end with orange. he was just pissed because the creator wrecked his fun due to him automatically assuming the worst because of "the chosen one"

2014: this is a masterpiece 2020: this is a masterpiece

The subtitles- AMAZING

I think this episode can be considered the beginning of everything for the AVA series because it is the first appearance of the main characters in the series. Of course, it is very important in AVA 5 and 6, but in my opinion, the most important episode was the one that added the most meaning to the story in this AVA series, and it was also the first episode that you made with a really high quality. Even though I watched it years ago, it is still a very nice animation quality that never gets old.

12:21 I love how they are genuinely exited to see TSC, it’s so wholesome 🥺

It took The Second Coming 6 years but it finally accessed its abilities

i came across Alan's channel around November of last year. When I saw SC i got a MAJOR like 3 second flashback of SC jumping through the air or sm idk. i IMMEDIATELY clicked on the video (It was the season 3 all episodes) and now in here. my new fav ytuber Edit: Forgot to mention but i ordered the couch figures and they're almost here EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i'll update when they get here

Alan: Makes a stick figure that destroy's his computer Also Alan: proceeds to make another one

How the hell is this five years old? It still feels brand new.

I like how canonically, animators can just make life by making a stick figure, and can assign them different power levels.

Am I the only one who knew from their first time watching this that the second coming wasn’t full on evil in this, I know that he’s on villains wiki but when I first watched this he never felt evil just mischievous but still nice in comparison to the chosen one I never viewed his actions in his first appearance as evil

This was the first ever Alan Becker video I watched.

It's actually quite interesting to notice just how much Alan has improved since making this masterpiece! It didn't seem all that different until you go back and see them side by side... the newer animations are just somehow smoother and more defined, but in a subtle way. You wouldn't expect it to be possible to improve perfection and yet somehow he did.

2014: this is impressive 2021: this is still impressive

i wanna my pc stickman friend, tat would be my first ever friend

So nostalgic

Is nobody gonna talk about how good the storytelling is

and to this day... orange still helps him animate every, single, video

this video is gonna turn 10 years old next year oh man

I remember when it was back in 2019 or 2020 when I first discovered this channel, think it had around a million subs that time? I was into stickman animations back then so I really loved this channel, watched it for a few months, then when I grew out from my stickman phase I naturally slowly just stopped watching this channel...4 years has passed and it's honestly a pleasant surprise to see that Alan Becker apparently suddenly started gaining a lot more popularity since my friends are all talking about him, and I was even more surprised to see how big of a creator he is now. I've just decided to return to this channel and catch up on all the lore I've missed these years lol

I love how he just refreshes the page and they’re playing cards casually

This is the kind of video that will be in everybody's recommended 7 years later. Thank you guys for the 8,000 likes. I'm glad I could make your day alittle better EDIT: I really hope this does get put in our recommended again in the future so we can all meet again. Cheers

Honestly I love always just now and then coming back to these old videos after watching a new one of your uploads... it gives so much nostalgia and just so many memories!

man this was nine years ago? felt like only 5 but man how has this animation grown to something so much bigger than we probably all thought back then

GENIUS!

So nobody's gonna talk about how good Alan's persuasion skills must be to convince Darren that a stickman destroyed his computer.

9 years, my literal nostalgia.

In 7:17 I love how Orange was about to call 911 lol😂

It’s honestly really hard to believe that this is almost 6 years old now, Time sure does fly.

An absolutely refreshing take on the series. Excellent job! I actually got a TAD emotional :P. No joke.

So many years have passed and still I haven't seen such talented creations. Everything nowadays are either cheap or AI generated. The details in this video in this video are just beyond amazing.

A young bekers hands before the years of work he would put in…

You know, it's been a long time since I saw your first "episode" of these animations. Guess it's close to 8 years, and that would have put me in the 6th grade. The whole concept was my favorite, and I used to be really into sites like stickpage and all their stick fight animations. I never thought I would come back and see numbers 3 and 4, and 4 being such a profound watch. In 13 minutes I saw what is now probably not even close to being one of your biggest projects, but made me feel connected to you in the craziest way. Since I'm now in my sophomore year of college studying computer science, it's so strange thinking about middle school watching your first animations. And it's amazing how far you went with it. It looks like you've done really well for yourself doing something it seems like you love, and maybe I'm just a big sap, but there was more emotion roiling in me from this video than a lot of movies I've seen. The scene where you pan to your workspace and see all these concepts you threw out or stopped and the stick figure finishing them, perfecting them. I could see this point where it made sense, that the reason you're doing what you're doing now is because 8 years or so ago you made this funny little animation about an animator defending his work from his creation, and now from just that you've become such a fantastic artist and it's all thanks to that little bastard who killed AIM. I'm glad you stuck with it, and I wish I had the passion, patience, and dedication for the things I love that you do. I hope you keep doing it. But for me, nothing you do will ever compare to this. You have touched my heart, and it just makes it really special. I hope you read this and it makes you smile, and thank you for the nostalgia from 12 year old me, and thank you for... You know, I don't know how to say it. But I think you know what I meant when I said this animation is special. So just thank you.

I love how quickly TSC agreed to help Alan when he saw his friends were ok 😂

1:27 ITS TIME FOR TSC TO MOVE

I love how the second subtitle is "i was forced to do these subtitles please help" and yet no one talks about it as far as I've seen. I mean that could be lore

Came back here after episode 4 of Animator VS Animation Shorts I'm so glad that the scene from 5:08 actually was his ability.

Eight years later, 4-5 years old when I first watched this. Just as amazing as I remember. Excellent work.

Rest in peace Twitter. Gone, but not forgotten.

Did orange just turned into the chosen one? Wow orange has skills when it comes to his friends ❤️

This man... He made a whole story and barely spoke If that’s not good storytelling, I don’t know what is

This really hits different after all the time we spent watching these guys evolve into individuals with well fleshed-out personalities, gaining skills/powers, becoming best friends and making new friends along the way. Makes you see it in a whole new context. Edit: Also, rewatching this made me realize something: There seems to be a pattern with Red where in the majority of instances, if not all, he's the first to go down whether by getting deleted or incapacitated in any other way. That's mostly because he's the most impulsive one and the first to jump into action, but it happens here too, while he's not even doing anything Alan decides to delete him first through Task Manager. He also seems to be the one to attract trouble the most.

2014: this is perfect 2023: this is perfect

How was this 9 years ago it still feels like brand new

Not even Alan Becker, let alone the almost 200 million people who've watched this, could've known the legendary series that would arise from this video here. 8 years of dedication and amazing storytelling, animation, and honestly pure genius, and it all started here.

What i see in this video... HARD WORK

This is my favourite 'Animator vs. Animation' ever! it was like SC meeting his friends for the first time, and alan giving him a chance, and then they all are friends is just so cool! and now his channel is about the 5 stickmans playing (or having fun) in minecraft, its just so godly.

It's been 6 years and its still a masterpiece

Only after watching the Kings episode do i truly realize how beautiful this series actually was

This is 9 years ago?! Time flies by so fast!

Ya know, a thought occured. The desktop of Alan's computer has been updated over the years past this video, which means that he somehow found a way to port the same copies of these stick figures forward into his newer systems, and they went along with it.

This is undoubtedly a digital masterpiece. This should be nominated for Oscars

"You can't be violent and wholesome at the same time" Alan: *hold my coffee*

this is EASILY my favorite Animation Versus- animation, first to AVM, and I'm a Minecraft youtube channel! But, I have so many memories with this, THIS is my childhood. Thank you for this creation, and continuing to create these. I do kinda want to see the facebook emojis again (idk what they're called). They're CUTE!

Good old days ,really nostalgic tbh,this was truly the beggining of alans real success.

Alan Becker is the only person that can animate an animation app

This made me cry... twice!

It’s insane to me that this was 9 years ago

thank you alan becker

It's my first time here after 8 years. I can't believe it's been this long. This is more impressive than the first time I watched way back in the day. Thank you for making my childhood great.

Is it just me or is the sound of him typing on the keyboard really satisfying??

after 10 years its still a legendary masterpiece of the animation industry

This fueled my childhood and it's creativity.

Red: I’m the best fighter here! Orange: Hold my pencil.

Even though the figures didn't had face, Still I could feel every expression and emotion. 😊

This is really cool to watch from the first one to the Minecraft series as well as all the ones in your 24 hour livestream you’ve been doing lately, you’re a legend

Wow more than 9 years later this is still amazing 9 YEARS AGO this series is awesome

4:27 The original inspiration for Thanos

I can’t stop coming back to these videos every once in a while

This is the goat. It bring me back

I love how much of a wholesome start this is

7 years ago, when this masterpiece was made, I didn't know it yet, but I was in for a ride 3 years later. Now, in 2022, I still love it to this day. Happy days forever to you Alan Becker. Edit: Due to other demand I changed it to 7 years again!

i liked when orange and green stick figure hug each other for dear life

It's being 9 years now but still amazing and nostalgic

holly crap. just watch your most recent one where they couldn't get the drawing to come to life but orange does it effortlessly. you really tying your whole story together.

Where did you learn animation Odd 1ns out: practice Domics: practice Jaiden: practice Others: college Alan: a stick man taught me
