i 100% now believe this was all just caused by iskall not remembering to turn off the moon magnet a few seasons ago, so much for complex hermatrix majoras mask theories

How TFC's finale recap would go: 1) TFC emerging from his branch mine 2) the moon has already destroyed everything 3) TFC: goes back to branch mining, pretending he didn't see anything

It is so fitting that Grian tricks Mumbo to kill him at the very end of the season

Season 6: the war season Season 7: the diplomatic season Season 8: the doomsday season

We all know the season ended because etho's and bdub's project was about to be finished and the universe just can't let that stand.

My theory is its all scar's fault. Man was going to build moon base alpha like 3 seasons ago but never did it and the moon went "If I am not your base, your base I shall eat" and just ya know, stuff. Idk its 3 in the morn and im tired

The fact that Grian got Mumbo to kill him in the final moments on the server is so epic

I can't wait til Mumbo does the "War, Hate, and Meat" challenge next season.

“cow you had ONE JOB” I love this so much- lol, a great extra touch

How trolly would it have been if Gem signed Cow onto Scar's 'spaceship'? I can only imagine how many deaths Scar would have had trying to wrangle him. XD

This will drastically affect the Trout population

If anyone is wondering Impulse did a stream where he talked about the behind-the-scenes of this season and went into a bit of detail about all of this. They decided to end the season short for a few reasons, but mostly it was the 1.18 update, and having to reset chunk borders and such is why they wanted the short season. They also wanted everyone to have a nice chunk of time off for everyone around the holidays. And yes, it was Grian who recommended the Big Moon plot lol. And he was intentionally on half a heart so Mumbo would kill him.

Cleo's ending was so tragic and inspiring. i loved the animation she did, and even if it's not followed up on, the idea of her being trapped alone in the end is an interesting one. Her "Running through the nether" scene really sold how quickly the moon was coming down, basically immediately after the big group meeting. was kind of sad to see the others didn't have quite the sense of urgency to them.

This season has so much unused potential The main one being the horse race, I wish we could have seen an amazing race

This was such an insane season!! I can't wait to see what season nine brings

I JUST realized that Grian had half a heart his whole episode just to get one over on Mumbo at the very end. The long con, the planning, the audacity.

The joke about there being four smaller Jevins seriously made me laugh out loud. Thank you for the amazing recaps every week.

"The heartfelt goodbye with ZombieCleo already caused some fans to photoshop him into her season finale" I see you vagueing about me, Zloy, I see you well

I bet Grian planned to be on half a heart JUST to make sure Mumbo's series ended with at least one kill lmao Can't wait for next season, and can't wait for all the recaps because I end up watching like 3 hermits sometimes so I wanna see what everybody else is up to, this was an awesome series and I can't wait to see what the Hermits have got for us next time, merry christmas :]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the editing and story of Tango's last 2/3 episodes. His last episode too him 22 straight hours to finish. Zedaph had some great editing as well all season long

Y’know… all this could’ve been avoided if one of ‘em had an ocarina.

I’m pretty sure Gem’s portal wasn’t to the nether, I think the amethyst around it made it magical, and transported Gem to the next season. The amethyst was a reference to Gem’s other SMP series where she is a wizard who bases her magic off of amethyst.

So that’s why Grian insisted on having half a heart the whole time. That could have gone so wrong, but he still did it. Amazingly crazy man!

Tango’s finale arc was unbelievably well done. If anyone hasn’t seen it, I recommend watching tango’s last three episodes. Mans went all out

Wow only 27 weeks this is truly the shortest hermitcraft season

If Bdubs thinks the Big Eye crew won he's very mistaken, in the end Boatem went together while Big Eye split. To me it shows what team was the best, the one that stayed united till the end ... while scamming/pranking one another but what else did you expect ? :p

"If there are four smaller iJevins, we know how that happened" I love this ha ha Edit: wait wait wait.. did Grian intentionally stay on half a heart during his finale so when/if Mumbo high-fived him Mumbo would have FINALLY killed something? 😂

I’m so hyped for season 9 to come.

I think they ended early to start s9 with 1.18 since they can’t reset chunks in the existing world cuz hermits have built a lot of things already

"Cow you had one job" Yeah...to literally fight the moon! Lol

The Among Us Ejecting of Tango Tech is epic- can't wait to see what you do with their craziness next year. I love watching the recap even if I've watched most of them during the week.

Kerallis and Bdubs finales had me laughing pretty good. And tango’s final 3 episodes were awesome story telling. Rip Holsten

Zloy. Screams in panic: VICTOR! DID YOU TURN IT OFF?!!! Pixelriffs. Screams angrily: COW! YOU HAD ONE JOB! Goodbye people. I’ll see you all in the next season and probably after the New Years.

Okay, the moon griefing joke and now this one, the joke on the splash screen is quickly becoming my favorite part of these videos.

"Cow you had one job" Edit, the running gag of everytime someone says "what can go wrong" there is a quick shot of the moon direct impacting the map is also hilarious How does it feel being the funniest hermitcraft related channel on youtube?

Until Etho releases a video for the finale, my headcanon is that he was working on the interior of a build when the moon fell, and by sheer coincidence, that building is the only one that survived what was otherwise the complete obliteration of the world.

Zedaph headcanon is actually interesting. He might experimenting on hermits to check if their minds and personalities are still intact while living in hermatrix

I really hope, IskallMAN will be more active next season. I really missed his videos a lot in Season 8.

I watched every single hermit's finale this time and I have a new appreciation for what you do every week. That took a long time to watch

I just remembered tyhe horse race game.... those two can never seem to get their projects going properly even if they start at the begining of the season lol

Perhaps Gem being very Crystally in empires accidentally made a magical amethyst parasite that latched onto the Hermitcraft ship at the end of Doc and Ren’s videos.

"COW, YOU HAD ONE JOB!" That killed me 😂😂

17:55 All of this just being a test in Zedaph's lab is the best theory ever lmao. Doc and Ren thought they're ahead of everyone else, thinking this was all a simulation but in reality Zedaph is way ahead of them that he created this simulation and planted these thoughts in their heads

I like how boatem was just a suicide pact also I wonder what they'll do for season 9. Are they going to just restart like normal but with the new generation or perhaps modded hermit craft? or maybe, minecraft battle royal II?

the sad part is we will never know what Grian would have done with Keralis's attic

ok I am now going to hold to the canon that Iskall's "Moon Magnet" from a couple seasons ago is the reason the moon hit the hermit world XD also: you guys make some of the cleanest and most helpful videos on the platform, assisting all of us fans in keeping up to date with the hermits we don't watch and the server as a whole. It's definitely appreciated :)

I'm still just wondering where Helsknight ran off to. He was already gone from Hels Kitchen when EX went there last... he knew obviously. But now where did he go?

Atleast we know Cub was right about the painting Moon make human skull go on fire

I love how Joe and Cleo are standing there saying heartfelt goodbyes and X is standing there awkwardly

"If next season there's 4 smaller IJevens, we know how that happened" 🤣

This season ending felt extremely abrupt, I don't feel like any other story was concluded other than the moon.

“You had one job” with the moon hitting the Earth killed me XD

Merry (Late) Christmas and a Happy New Year Hermitcraft Recap Team.

Bdubs clearly survived the blast, the explosion couldn’t find him cause of his sweater

Doc had the coolest ending to this season imo

Why do I hear speedrun music? *The hermits speedrunning a season*

i love the sudden cuts to the moon crashing into the world every time they say "what could possibly go wrong" lol

"Cow you had one job" I can't stop laughing

“Regular Xisuma, the most regular he’s been in years”

Never ask: A woman her age A man his salary Iskall if he turned off the moon magnet

Who else got anxiety while watching Grian, Mumbo, Pearl and Impulse standing around before getting into the ship

I hope Zloy's proud of that Vine/TikTok line :D

I like how the subtitle at 4:12 says "X-plosion" because it's on Xisuma's perspective

i hope that etho ends up just pretending the end of the world never happened if he plays in season 9, it'd be hilarious and fitting given he only had one episode during the crisis.

I love that Grian tricked Mumbo into killing him by hand to add a death Mumbo’s statistics lmfao

I WANTED TO SEE WELS's island so bad :(((( I was so excited for it, it is probably one of my favourite along side Impulse's factory, both are fantastic

Thank you for all your hard work guys. Recap of this many creators takes an immense amount of work and we all appreciate you for it.

I love this season so much but, It ended rather abrupt and a lot of unfinished projects like Impulse's factory, Big Eye's Shopping District and Fifi's cave, Etc.

The"four smaller iJevins" joke, and Pix shouting from a distance"cow you had one job!* were the funniest clips.

I am disappointed that there was no mention the simulation was run on Grumbot of all things.

This was the first Hermitcraft season I've watched, and this season was amazing. I can't wait for the next one

Man, the recaps are always great! Thank you for making them!

Everyone: “THE WORLD IS ENDING” Bdubs: “it’s fine at least I’m rich”

"how I'm gonna live laugh love under these conditions" -tay

*"cow you had one job!"* That killed me

Gotta love how Lyarrah captioned 4:12 as *X*-plosion.

Most epic recap of a most epic season ending!

Okay, but the fact that I literally cried seeing Gem's beautiful build destroyed in the animation...

These recaps are always really fun to watch!!

Love your work!! Hermitcraft wouldn't be the same without these recaps, it's so nice to be able to follow along everyone without watching everything!! Can't wait for next season

I don't watch every Hermit, but just watching Grian, Mumbo, and Scar as much as I do for the videos I make helps me understand and appreciate just how much footage y'all skim through week to week in order to make these recaps. Phenomenal work.

OMG Tango being ejected was so perfect. Thanks for all the updates. This was the first season I watched these. Even though I watch everyone's videos I am hooked on your recaps. Thank you for doing this.

Thank you all for the work you put in to this project each week! See you in Season 9!

i just realized this season has only gone on for about half a year. i knew it felt shorter than the last couple seasons, but it also feels like ive been in the world of Boatem, Octagon, and Big Eyes for eons

Thank you for covering Hermitcraft every week! :) Thank you! I'm very excited for the next season in 1.18

You have no idea how badly I needed this video

Major props for taking a downer failure ending and making it genuinely funny

YESSSS!!!! Before even playing it, I know I can Trust YOUR recap to cover Everyone and how it all links together!!! Indeed, ALL HERMITS’ FINALES NEED WATCHED!!!✨

Survivors: Falsesymmetry: will depend on the strength/speed of the eagle, but presumed alive Geminitay: alive Xisumavoid: alive (though evil xisuma is dead) Welsknight: presumed alive Zombiecleo: alive, but trapped in the end Ijevin: presumed dead Joe hills: presumed alive Tangotek: dead Cubfan: could be dead or alive, more information needed XBcrafted: possibly alive? Keralis: presumed dead Bdouble0: dead Impulse: alive, though floating in the void (chocolate factory is looking bleak) Pearlescentmoon: alive, though floating in the void (animals are safe in her bunker) Goodtimeswithscar: alive, though floating in the void (left with some last minute scamming) Mumbojumbo: alive, though floating in the void (peace, love and plants philosophy failed at the last minute) Grian: alive, though floating in the void (left with insanity of talking villagers) Docm77/rendog: inconclusive Zedaph: presumed dead

Thanks so much for all the great work you do!!

Oooooo! I’ve been waiting to see everyone’s perspectives!

pixelriffs in the background: "COW YOU HAD ONE JOB!" had me laughing. great episode!

this whole moonfall thing just makes me think of FFXIV lol

Congratulations all once again on a great season for you too!

What a season! I'm so excited to see what they do next.

I may have said it was grumbot running the simulation a few weeks back, but Im still calling it a W

Yall do such a great job! I can't always keep up with everyone but yall make me wish I could! Keep up the good work!

this season was INSANE, so short but I'm also happy because I can start watching new hermits from the beginning of the season. like Gem, Cleo, impulse, and scar

Incredible work! Excellent jokes for an excellent recap of an excellent season!

Somehow they manage to make each hermitcraft season better than the last every time
