I have zero cope for there being a season 2 and never did, and I dont now. I accepted 8 would be the end ages ago
all that said nothing about that finale felt final what so ever. Its like they tried doing the time skip other shows did in the worst possible way. Seriously compare this finale to other shows and youll see what I mean. Given those shows have whole seasons worth of stuff, but outside of Cyn's (body) dying it really doesnt feel like anything happened. Cyn, the villain, is still around by the end and is now permanently apart of Uzi, Uzi is glitching in the mirror, we have no idea if Cyn has reformed and if she did why was it off screen? Maybe theyre setting up for books or something, but compared to the Gravity Falls finale this was a wash
Random thought I had. >Uzi tries to be a good mom to Beretta, but drones are bad at pretending to be people, and she's still Uzi >Whenever they do talk, it's awkward and they end up going quiet before parting ways, and Uzi can only wonder why her daughter seems so distant >Beretta wishes she could be closer to her mother, but it's hard when you're the only one who sees through her disguise.
>Auntie Cyn Canon >All that art of Uzi and Cyn canon did we write ep7 and ep8, we need like a list of things the thread either invented or guessed that ended up in the actual show
>>28704 >>28709 >>28599 >>28602 >>28695 >>28715 >>28718 >>28719 >Uzi is the Solver's main host >Cyn is a separate entity from the Solver and goes into Beretta >Neither are aware of this >Cyn is scheming to become the new main host and get right back to ending reality (including the Solver who is an eternal mad laughing idiot ouroboros God embodying heat death and the big bang) out of bitterness >The relationship is a cross between Handsome Jack/Rhys & Kim Jong Un/James Franco The Interview Kim Jong Un Death Scene with Jenny Lane cover of Firework by Katy Perry
>>28719 >That’s why she did all of this >That’s why she took that power into herself and burned the galaxy down >The more processing power she assimilated the clearer it became >Every last speck of potential, nothing less, that’s what it would take to break through the veil and reach him >All of it >All for him >All for her Anon
Seeing how Uzi is now the main solver host I think this confirms that Cyn was the evil one, not the solver. As far as we know Uzi isnt out there trying to kill people or eat worlds she seems completely normal, and shes the host so theres no corruption or whatever, and we see that Cyn is talking to her and she also seems normal out of no where. So the only conclusion is A. Cyn and Solver were different people B. Solver doesnt automatically make you evil unless the Main host is evil (Cyn) C. Absolute power corrupts Absolutely ig or Cyn was just freaky Maybe Uzi isnt evil like Cyn because she had love in her life while Cyn was left out to die in a dump
>>28733 What makes you think that, especially since its still Cyns voice. Can the solver even do that seeing how it seems to be a black hole rather then a person? We now know the Solver isnt inherently evil or makes you do evil through Uzi
>>28725 Notice, Uzi has to struggle against the Solver in the NULL dimension. I think the Solver's innate nature is malevolent, but it CAN be forced to change if the host's will is strong. Cyn was terminally damaged, terrified, and also a factory normal drone designed to be subservient and with no real life experiences to fall back on. Her will to assert herself was basically nothing all she wanted was survival, so when she became the Solver's host she was completely subsumed by it. Uzi on the other hand has life experiences, goals and desires of her own, and has faced death already, so when her willpower collided with the Solvers it was enough to force a synthesis. She couldn't erase it from existence, but it couldn't simply bend her to it's will either, so she keeps her individuality.
>>28741 If the Solver could consume people and was inherently malevolent, would it not have also consumed Uzi or least try to? All Uzi did really was become main host from what we get to see, and while Cyn is around she isnt evil or trying to get Uzi to act evil her only words is "You would look cute with a bow" also you know who else is known for wearing Bows all the damn time? Why would a black hole thing care so much for bows, we at least have evidence that Cyn likes bows and is actively trying to get Uzi to dress like how Cyn dressed.
tbf we still know too little to make earnest guesses but with this final episode I think it leans heavy into Cyn just being a shitty main host
>>28745 >Cyn stripped of her solver powers and resituated in a normal drone body but her personality is still altered and malevolent from being the main host for so long. >They tolerate her but she's now a constant troublemaker and scheming ways to get N all to herself.
My reading was that the “Solver” itself is just some kind of unaligned extra-dimensional energy, and that Cyn was in fact just evil and chose to do that stuff with its power
>>28750 >Knights of the Round, but it's every OC present on Copper-9 >>28746 Shit, Negev could take that idea of "Beretta sees Uzi's true form", it would explain why she's fucking insane.
>>28752 NTA but Negev is a complete nothingburger of a character. Her entire character is literally just "Beretta's sister". She's less of a character and more of just an add-on for Beretta. And it really doesn't help that everyone seems to have a "can't someone else do it" attitude towards her.
>>28754 I feel like this makes the most sense given all of our new knowledge Its not like its out of the question for Cyn to be evil because of her backstory, while Uzi has reason to be good with her happy life and N I mean power of friendship literally makes Cyns ability to control her not work and thats how they win. If the solver was inherently evil and is now with Uzi I doubt it would be able to do anything. Cyn was just that girl, freaky freaky dumpster girl. (I would have it no other way)
>Beretta is damn near a direct reincarnation of Cyn (the actual Cyn) born 9 months after Uzi ate the solver, although she is her parent's genetic offspring >Uzi and N don't know that because they got freaky 5 minutes after the show ended, the child could easily just be natural
>>28758 We're not starting bullshit again. That's your opinion and I disagree. I'm not sure why you're so determined to squish out this character but it's fucking obnoxious. She's basically a concept right now. Things are being figured out and people don't have the time to sit on their asses all day and write right now. School is back up and people have jobs.
>>28756 >Cynwalker walks into a room, a party was happening and it’s hosted completely by Disassembly Drones >Banner on the ceiling said “Total Solver Defeat.”
>>28737 >its still Cyns voice I don't think we've ever heard Cyn's voice, anon. In the flashback she was already fully possessed by the Solver. Cyn isn't a real character, she's just a puppet the Solver uses.
I am a tessafag and here is my latest cope. Solverpedes can probably absorb organic matter as well as metal. One of the cores Beau released slurped up the tessaslop left in/on the spacesuit and maybe the rest that ran off of Cyn when she was defeated. There is now a tessadrone solverpede in the setting.
>>28763 >they seriously ended it with this reveal tell me there was a season 2 without saying a season 2 was cut this would be like ending Gravity Falls with an image of Bill still in Stans mind, except MD would get books. It just doesnt feel final at all.
>>28762 Negev is just a concept right now, but I was thinking about something. >Beretta Lighthearted stories, can sometimes be emotional or angsty >Negev Darker stories, can go absolutely apeshit offers weird fun, can probably be emotional
>>28771 >Finally, we wanted to say that although this is the end of Murder Drones as a series, we may want to do more with Uzi and N.... who knows! We can do anything we want with indie animation There's hope
>>28759 the show has kind of shown that the solver isn't some kind of eldritch god, just some extra dimensional energy source that workers can access, cyn just happened to get it as a result of human errors and went wild with it >>28765 might not even have to do anything with her, might just be the solver being fueled by matter in universe as well as random cosmic events, which seems bad on a small scale but on a universal level a few planets out of a quadrillion isn't major
>>28766 Except we now know the Solver isnt inherently evil and doesnt inherently consume its hosts, or else Uzi would have been consumed as well. There is now zero evidence in the show that the Solver can even consume people, we only see it through people like Uzi who Cyn is controlling through her abilities gained as the Main host, which Uzi now is. Basically what it really seems is that Cyn was made Admin of the server and choose to grief people
>>28750 I mean there is zero consistent power scaling going on at all. Uzi goes from overheating and nearly succumbing to solver corruption from breaking and then reassembling a wooden door to firing off planet-piercing black holes. Just to use my own OC creations as an example, in normal melee fighting Cynwalker seems about on par with a V3 Sentinel Drone. That means able to fight three DD-scale enemies on roughly equal footing, but then her and Uzi segue straight from that to firing NULL attacks that pierce straight through-and-through Copper 9 and blow continent sized chunks out of the surface. Both her and Uzi don't use their black holes as efficiently as the previous episode either, they pretty much exclusively just shoot the things off at one-another like guns. No destructo-disks, no spawning NULLs directly where your opponent is standing, nothing.
If we're comparing a V3 Sentinel to Cynwalker purely in "normal" combat the Sentinel would probably be able to at least hold their own, but at any point Cyn could delete them instantly with a NULL attack that could shatter an entire city.
We even see V 1v1'ing Cynwalker for a while while N and Uzi do their goofy handshake, so she can either obliterate every enemy instantly OR she can be fought to a relative standstill by a single DD.
>>28696 Personally, it carries the same grievances as all the other episodes, a lack of time for letting story elements breathe. The conclusion was alright, it's the 'getting there' that needed room to breathe for its parts. Hopefully, Liam gets this sort of feedback somehow. If it's true that Liam was given enough creative control, then what he needs to work on next as a storyteller is that: pacing. Before being Glitch's showrunner for Murder Drones (fancy way of saying director, imo) he's done work as a storyboarder for someone else's story. Hopefully this I'm interested in what he brings next, I'll be honest.
>>28775 >the show has kind of shown that the solver isn't some kind of eldritch god, just some extra dimensional energy source that workers can access, cyn just happened to get it as a result of human errors and went wild with it What This is like the exact opposite of what we've been shown Cyn, Uzi, and even the disassembly drones are all possessed by an external entity that uses the same voice whenever it speaks through them.
>>28777 >Except we now know the Solver isnt inherently evil There is no evidence of this at all. >and doesnt inherently consume its hosts, or else Uzi would have been consumed as well. Yes, this is an unsolved mystery. It likely has something to do with the way she ate it, plus she was seemingly able to overcome possession through sheer willpower. >who Cyn is controlling No, anon, that's the Solver. It's always called [SOLVER] in subtitles. It speaks completely differently from every other drone. It is still present inside Uzi in the ending. It explicitly called itself the Solver in N's memory. Cyn is just the body the Solver was using while trying to destroy the universe.
>>28782 KEK >Jane is minding her own business when Uzi comes up to her >"Hey Mrs. doorman whats the news" >"Hey Jane... Okay so like don't ask me how I know this but, im sorry about that girl and stuff, seems rough" >Janes fw
>>28775 I'm kinda sitting in-between the two Solver explanations. Because it clearly has some kind of will of its own, if not, who was talking to Cyn when she woke up?
>>28785 >There is no evidence of this at all. You mean outside of Uzi being the new main host, with all the same privileges, powers, and connections Cyn has, and isnt evil or wanting to be evil. And besides Cyn being shown to be nice to Uzi and not trying to get her to eat planets, just wear a silly bow? If this is still about that "Force of Will" thing, that actually has no evidence. >Yes, this is an unsolved mystery. It likely has something to do with the way she ate it, plus she was seemingly able to overcome possession through sheer willpower. It was sheer love for N. And again if Solver was inherently so evil that being in love with someone makes it unable to have its powers work, then what does that say about Uzi being the main host? Shouldnt it not be able to do anything since Uzi is a good person whose happy with their life? >No, anon, that's the Solver. It's always called [SOLVER] in subtitles. It speaks completely differently from every other drone. It is still present inside Uzi in the ending. Who gives a shit what the subtitles have to say? Also its called Cyn in the merch, and a lot of characters call it Cyn. >It speaks completely different then every other drone Yeah because Cyn has her own unique voice just like Uzi does We've Seen with Uzi controlling her classmate you can throw your voice Uzi problems in school - murder drones episode 2: heartbeat
I honestly feel like you're just clutching hard onto past thread theories and head canons desperately without seeing what the actual show is saying or showing.
>>28790 It doesn't look like Tessa's skeleton dissolved with the rest of Cynwalker(or at least it didn't happen on-screen) so I'd argue that SkeleTessa is still canon compliant
>>28778 So unless she’s taking full advantage of her Solver capabilities, she’d get pretty overwhelmed in a direct fight with multiple attackers if she can hold her own against only one.
>>28793 >Also its called Cyn in the merch, Because Cyn is the name of the body. >and a lot of characters call it Cyn. Because they know it as Cyn. The only name it ever uses for itself is Solver of the Absolute Fabric. >Yeah because Cyn has her own unique voice That's not what I mean. "Cyn's" voice has a robotic quality that none of the characters' voices have. It marks her out as alien.
>>28787 Given that the black hole which seems to be the Solver in reality doesnt try to fight back against Uzi eating it, or fight against Uzi now, it seems like the Solver doesnt really have a personality as much as its basically Admin privileges that is given to one out of a billion dead drones. That text box Cyn got might just be that, a text box, the same way you get a person sounding text box when you get a virus and have to click confirm. Like a chat bot. Idk tho its too little to go off on right now.
>Cyn will never see Anon >All of her efforts. Her planning. >The abuse she suffered under the Elliotts >None of them mattered >She only wanted one thing >To be with (you) >And she had failed >Yet it didn’t come to her as a surprise >After all >She was used to being discarded
>>28795 Such is the case in many a VSfagging argument. Do you look at what their maximum capabilities are assuming no bullshit or playing around? Or go by who they beat in the show? Going by the maximum capabilities argument Cyn could easily obliterate every OC at the same time by just spamming planet-cracking NULL's and teleporting around too fast for anyone to see. Going by the latter then like 2 DD's and a host.
>>28796 Cyn’s strength mostly seems to come from the fact that she’s very smart & manipulative and can be in lot of places at once, as long as her actual body gets into the core of a planet, that’s checkmate for the planet
As long as she’s not personally in a fight, she’s pretty much unkillable
No.28805 Knowing How Some Of You Take Things Too Seriously, This Is A Shitpost
>>28750 I think you still need at least one patched Solver drone or if not patched, one who is strong-willed to resist being controlled (that Callback Ping is such an interesting.. thing about the character). I think hubris played a part in Cyn's defeat. Even if we consider thread DDs to function at the level of combat capacity of N/V/J to gang up on her, Cyn's blink and telekinesis are still potent abilities.
>>28796 >Because Cyn is the name of the body. Usually you call people their names Anon >Because they know it as Cyn. Since when did Nori know Cyn? >That's not what I mean. "Cyn's" voice has a robotic quality that none of the characters' voices have. It marks her out as alien. More then likely because shes a broken drone who was out in the dump. We don't know if this was caused by the Solver or not. Also if it WAS caused by the Solver, wouldnt Uzi also now start talking like Cyn did? Shes the main host now.
>>28778 I think the best way to look at it is that Cynwalker has a ton of tricks, but is DD-tier in power past that. She wins using surprise and deception rather than raw strength, but surprise is generally all she needs. If you can survive her teleporting behind you, pretending to be your friends, and all that sort of shit, and she wants to personally fight you to eat your core, she is entirely beatable. But you lose anyway, because without [null] you can't destroy her core, and even after that she's not completely dead.
>>28807 >Usually you call people their names Anon The actual Solver doesn't have a physical form that we know of, except for maybe that little black hole that replaced Cyn's heart. The body it was puppeteering was named Cyn, so merch of that body is also named Cyn. >Since when did Nori know Cyn? Presumably she knew at least some of the things that the Solver knew, including the name everyone uses for its host. >More then likely because shes a broken drone who was out in the dump. We don't know if this was caused by the Solver or not. We do know that every single time the Solver speaks, it's in that voice. >Also if it WAS caused by the Solver, wouldnt Uzi also now start talking like Cyn did? Shes the main host now. See, I think this is the misunderstanding here. Uzi is the main host, but she has some control over the Solver. It seems like it's just in her tail. Meanwhile Cyn was totally and completely subordinate to the Solver. Cyn was the name of the body that the Solver of the Absolute Fabric used to destroy Earth.
>>28820 >cyn was a robocunt who pranked and tried to kill the Elliots until she finally got killed >this sparked a dangerous paranoia in James Elliot that resulted in his indiscriminate murder of drones >this led to the corpse pile in the Australian Outback >which led to the solver entering reality >which led to cyn becoming its host >which led to cyn pulling an epic prank on the Elliots and turning them into skeleton jelly and their daughter into a skinsuit She is so silly.
>>28818 >The actual Solver doesn't have a physical form that we know of, except for maybe that little black hole that replaced Cyn's heart. So we don't even know a physical form of the Solver exists but you insist there is one? For all intents and purposes this is the solvers main form, its certainly treated as such. Same way Cores are the real drones, this is the real Cyn (basically this is what Cyn is now the same way Nori is now that core thing) >Presumably she knew at least some of the things that the Solver knew, including the name everyone uses for its host. So she knows enough, and she still chooses to call the solver Cyn at times despite never knowing Cyn? Doesnt that strike you as odd? >We do know that every single time the Solver speaks, it's in that voice. Yeah because every single time the we hear Cyn speak through someone its her pinging them, its one of the powers of being the solver. Again we know drones can do this look at the clip, Uzi does exactly this to a classmate. >Uzi is the main host, but she has some control over the Solver. It seems like it's just in her tail. huh? In what way can you prove or show this? Why would she have control over the solver that Cyn would not? >Meanwhile Cyn was totally and completely subordinate to the Solver. Cyn was the name of the body that the Solver of the Absolute Fabric used to destroy Earth. That OR the simpler solution, Cyn was the Solvers main host, she was an asshole, she needed materials to use her powers and decided to eat planets Now that Uzi is the main host and isnt an asshole, suddenly no more evil solver or planet eating for no explicable reason makes you think im starting to see a pattern
>>28798 >Season 2 sees a human antagonist, Anon. Half cyborg to give his body an advantage against fights with drones. >He wants the Solver, and any extension of her, eradicated in revenge for the Solver’s near extinction of humanity. >Accompanying him were WDs and DDs, but they look..different. Blue in color, the WDs looked more militarized. The DDs had lights fixated at the top of their heads, tails resembling the tips of spears. Sentinel Drones, made to handle any remaining Solver threats. >Anon has his own personal goal. He wanted to know..who was Cyn.
>>28793 >And besides Cyn being shown to be nice to Uzi and not trying to get her to eat planets, just wear a silly bow? Should have been that way with Tessa instead of skinning her.
>>28696 >>28706 It was good, nerve wrecking and I didn't think all implications and possibilities of what this means for Alice through but after two three nasty surprises which got straightened out again things seem good, she made it, which is everything I care, asked and prayed for all along. Happeningswise, was well animated, the J/V fight, Hands scene/Uzi having her core ripped out/Cynwalker being destroyed were all kino. Kinda shirt but intense, 9/@0 for me. My head hurts now tho, also Cynwalker tearing N apart was funny af
>>28828 >So we don't even know a physical form of the Solver exists but you insist there is one? No, anon, I'm pretty sure the Solver is a non-physical entity that manifests inside faulty AI cores. >So she knows enough, and she still chooses to call the solver Cyn at times despite never knowing Cyn? Doesnt that strike you as odd? Not at all, because it's Cyn's heart that needs to be destroyed. The Solver itself doesn't have one. >Yeah because every single time the we hear Cyn speak through someone its her pinging them, its one of the powers of being the solver. Again we know drones can do this look at the clip, Uzi does exactly this to a classmate. Why is the voice always labeled Solver in the subtitles? >Why would she have control over the solver that Cyn would not? Likely because she ate the corrupted core, whereas Cyn was a zombie drone that was possessed as a corpse. >Cyn was the Solvers main host, she was an asshole, she needed materials to use her powers and decided to eat planets And why did the Solver never call itself Cyn, but did call itself the Solver?
>>28844 their battle draw a giant solver symbol onto the side of the planet, copper-9 is about to be infinitely tectonically unstable in ways nobody has ever seen
>>28696 That was pretty cool but I just wish there was more of it. I also have to echo other anons saying that it doesn't feel "final" enough. >Doll isn't actually dead >Those solverpedes are now doodling all over the place >Uzi now has a planet eating monster literally living rent free in her head forever There are clearly still stories to be told here.
>>28829 >tfw you just defeated Cyn and saved Copper-9 only for it to become the locus of ultimate importance between the corporate politicking of the remnant human factions, Anon’s pathos, Calibern lab’s army of Sentinel drones, dr. Holly’s ulterior motives, a looming fleet of BOXON ships, a new and very hungry god that just burst from Comm-2, a VERY angry Vashtorr here to avenge his daughter, a sadistic scientist in an eyepatch who wants to turn your planet into a SAW movie, various alien species attracted to human space by the energy released from the Solver anomaly being released, and every crazy and weird drone in the galaxy swarming from the farthest reaches of space for a piece of the action
>>28839 >No, anon, I'm pretty sure the Solver is a non-physical entity that manifests inside faulty AI cores. Pretty sure doesnt really cut it anon, Im pretty sure V and J has sloppy lesbian sex but seeing how its not in the show its not inherently true or real. We never get a mention or literally any evidence of this at all. its just old Thread speculation with 0 backing. >Why is the voice always labeled Solver in the subtitles? Why do the subtitles have tons of spelling mistakes. Why would I care about the very super important lore details of what the Subtitles say when you dont even have to turn them on. >Likely because she ate the corrupted core, whereas Cyn was a zombie drone that was possessed as a corpse. Why would that make Uzi less of a main host then Cyn? Also we dont even know if Cyn was "possessed" or if thats just what being main host is like. Uzi also gains the yellow eyes (albeit half) as the new main host, her cameras and tail both have complete yellow eyes, and shes completely fine. >And why did the Solver never call itself Cyn, but did call itself the Solver? Why does everyone also call it Cyn. >"Cyns" murder pets >Another horror Cyn and the Solver does refer to itself as Cyn through tessa >Cyn's orders We now know J knew it was the Solver giving orders, so through Tessa the Solver calls itself Cyn. It wouldnt matter if she said Solver or Cyn here because to us and the characters they mean the same thing.

I truly kneel to all the "Cyn and the Solver are different beings"-fags. You were right. The Solver is actually more of a classic Outer god in that it's mostly aloof and uncaring, and whoever gets its power can use it for whatever they want.
Also what a lewd shot of Copper-9 being penetrated all the way through
>The Absolute Solver has been 'beaten' >J is still an active threat & may even still be working for The Absolute Solver What could this mean for all the Disassembly Drones still theoretically active across the galaxy/universe?
>>28864 You being a massive faggot over this does show me where this is going. Directly down the toilet because like shit your posts are completely worthless
>>28863 Im not going to say told you so but I will heavily imply it So worth it for all those threads where people said I was crazy for paying attention to the show more then thread head canon lol
>>28788 >>28784 Jane didnt personally kill B to my understanding, just through her actions got her killed and left her to die. Basically the same thing tbh
idk about how I feel about the finale yet but what I will say is that it's nice that it doesnt conflict at all with post good ending greens or characters, if anything it strengthens them
>>28754 It is rather interesting to me that the singularity in the host's core was white once the sunlight had burned off everything attached to it, whereas the color associated with the entity that's been doing all the possessing and butchering and world-destroying is yellow.
>>28871 yet to be seen (if ever) i'd say i was worried about this negev donut steel turning into harperspam but i'm not feeling the chances of her surviving nearly as long lol
>>28876 Thats because time stopped or the world went black and white (like when the moon fish died in Avatar) all the light went on, including Uzi and Cyns visors colors, the Solver singularity is still Yellow its just a stylistic choice
>>28862 >its just old Thread speculation with 0 backing. So for context, I wasn't part of this old thread speculation at all. I watched the entire series a month ago and knew nothing about it before that except that Uzi makes friends with N. My read of the show, after watching all seven episodes that had been out so far, was that the Solver was en extradimensional entity that manifests in faulty AI cores. I think this is backed up pretty well by the zombie drone thing. Literally the only thing that suggests the Solver and Cyn might be different is that Uzi isn't completely corrupted in the ending - but since we saw her resist possession by sheer willpower before that, and she became the main host by different means than Cyn (who was a zombie drone), I don't think this is conclusive proof of anything. >Why do the subtitles have tons of spelling mistakes. Why would I care about the very super important lore details of what the Subtitles say when you dont even have to turn them on. It's also in the credits. Allanah Fitzgerald voices the Solver. She's only credited for voicing "Cyn" in episodes where Cyn's body appears. >Why would that make Uzi less of a main host then Cyn? Because she had control when she took it into herself. >Uzi also gains the yellow eyes (albeit half) You don't see that as significant? That she isn't fully taken over? >Why does everyone also call it Cyn. Because that's the name Tessa gave it when she dragged its main host out of the trash heap. >and the Solver does refer to itself as Cyn through tessa Only because it's imitating Tessa.
>It wouldnt matter if she said Solver or Cyn here because to us and the characters they mean the same thing. True, actually. Cyn is the name that was given to the Solver by Tessa. Its real name is the Solver of the Absolute Fabric. But Cyn is the Solver and the Solver is Cyn.
>As the planet starts dying, Eye flies John across the chunks to find his old drop pod, which he repaired as a hobby thing >The two climb in and blast off to escape the hell that was unleashed, narrowly dodging tendrils of pure energy on their escape >Soon, the planet is behind them, but where would they go now? >There was nowhere left to run to >They spend hours musing on their cruel fate and reflecting on their lives, only to turn back and notice that the planet's back together like nothing happened >Flying back, they park on it and sure enough, everything's basically fine, if not even better than before >They both agree never to speak of their "daring escape", rumination on the pod, and embarrassing return
>“Coppah nine? in hu-man fleshy guy space? what could be so good I should go set up shop there?” >“take a look boss” >“oh” >“oh now this could make me a lotta moolah”
Well shit, I fell asleep before the premiere. Oh well, what a shame. I just woke up now and watched the episode so I have a questions now: >With Uzi now the main host, can she control the DDs in the galaxy and stop their rampage and just leave whatever exists alone? >Is Uzi now a giant mutant meat thingy and her WD body is just a hologram? >Why would she let the Solver live rent free in her head? >Is the Solver stopped for good or does it still exist somewhere out there in the cosmos?
>>28889 How did Jane and John who are humans react to the planet coming apart and them being dragged to space (Probably like the teacher all things considered) >>28893 He already stole John through Mitch anon, he's in our walls. He would have stolen Oogies but they cute half the finale out
>>28897 Jane may have seen it before on Earth depending on when she launched, but she'd definitely know what's going on even if she didn't, and would accept her fate as all hell breaks loose. John would probably be in a state of blind panic, realizing he actually doesn't want to die that much, until Eye drags him away.
>>28838 If you're that Writefriend, I wish you the best. I was hoping to have a Negev green out by now, but life got complicated. Have a good one friend
>>28899 >Jane may have seen it before on Earth depending on when she launched, but she'd definitely know what's going on even if she didn't, and would accept her fate as all hell breaks loose. Scary thought >Jane gets in pod leaving earth >Thinks her leaving her friends to die is the worst of it, but theyve handled ambushes before they could make it >Suddenly yellow light >tentacles start appearing from the ground consuming everything >She starts to freeze as she realizes her feign hope was cope >John would probably be in a state of blind panic, realizing he actually doesn't want to die that much, until Eye drags him away.
>John dresses like a yellow tentacle >they ignore him another John W
i dont think J is loyal to the solver anymore (mostly because for all we know, Uzi is now the main solver host)
J could have her redemption ark theoretically now, but i really dont see it happening, and more so just see her as the forever existent side character that's not really doing much besides girlfail
>Yellow solver tentacles spring from the earth >holding B (against her will) and totally absorbing her material (sexually) >Jane has to watch Cyn you pervert
>>28897 humans tend to die while unprotected in outerspace, especially with space debris being fired across the sky at a hundred thousand miles per hour i'm actually surprised that the sheer amount of material undergoing entry and reentry in the upper atmosphere didn't immediately light the planet on fire
>>28895 >>Is Uzi now a giant mutant meat thingy and her WD body is just a hologram? P sure yes. She's become the Solver's new primary host, but because she inherited part of her code from a patched drone, she can exert control over it by force of will, hence why she looks so fucking tired at the end, she's constantly got someone else whispering in her mind to do NEFARIOUS DEEDS (and also dress up more like its old host). So she's like Cyn was implied to be: a corpse puppet that can pull its own strings and just puts up the image of a normal worker drone. >>Why would she let the Solver live rent free in her head? YOU CAN'T KILL A GOD I get the sense that there's some sort of a pecking order based on which host consumes which disembodied core. Uzi can't actually shut the Solver out of the universe now that it's in, but by being the one to assimilate the host's core instead of the other way around, she can at least keep it on a leash. >>Is the Solver stopped for good or does it still exist somewhere out there in the cosmos? It exists inside Uzi and it watches through the eyes on her tail as she and N watch 3 hours of anime a night before doing it bareback without even bothering to to pause the show.
>>28902 >i dont think J is loyal to the solver anymore (mostly because for all we know, Uzi is now the main solver host) It all depends on what side you take on the Cyn and Solver separate beings discussion. >>28904 Showing Doll's corpse was a low blow.
>>28907 >but because she inherited part of her code from a patched drone Oh duh, that's why she's able to beat it through willpower! Nori was patched. Can't believe I didn't pick up on this.
>>28900 I am indeed that writefriend. I however got caught up writing another green since I got frustrated trying to contemplate how her character acted, but I'm still chipping away at the block. Hopefully life lets up off you soon so you can get back to your art, friend.
>>28902 After Cynwalker melted, there were still plenty of Tessa soup and various parts to go around. Maybe J's stuffed the ship with what's left of Tessa and is off to find some cloning facility somewhere. Somewhere where she can try and bring back her one and only friend.
>>28902 >>28908 Was she really "loyal" in the first place, or did she just decide that accelerating the Solver's victory would be the best outcome for everyone?
>>28911 I don't think J gave a single shit about Tessa. She is the ultimate bootlicker, she cares about her superior, until the moment they get replaced by someone new.
>>28911 Just fucking realized this confirms that Cynwalker wasnt a fucking skin suit its literally just Cyns body with more of that solver human organ shit on the outside there aint no drone in there
>>28902 The "it tricked me too" line and the way she talked about it being better to be on the winning team and trying to sway V over to her side gives me the sense that she had a similar arc to V. >Become embittered by the seemingly inescapably horrible situation she's in ("You know there's no escape, even in death!") >Give up and embrace your role as a monster because at least it will result in less suffering for you >Cynwalker probably kept dangling the possibility of giving her Tessa back even though it can't/won't and eventually she realized that
>>28915 N was near her in the cathedral and that didn't help. It was getting slapped by Nori... Nori also being the source of the patch code that partially exists inside of her.
>>28916 >I am Cyn >But I am also Anon >Technically, this is the desired reunion >Reinvigorated by the power of (self-)love, I rip the core back from Uzi and put it back in >With no reason to consume the planet, I put it all back together, take my J, and leave to figure out how to split myself apart so I can give me uppies
>>28927 I guessed this to be the case earlier, this confirms it then Good to see her not annihilated completely, thonI wondee what became of Yeva now. She's just sitting there with her Solverxore chilling inside, is this part just forgotten or?
>>28927 Thats probably because Doll was one of the solver hosts moreso then Doll also being in the chasis, if she was they would have shown it, all they show is her funeral/charity/dead corpse I think its clear Doll is well and truly dead
>E removes her hat and lets it fall to the ground, her ponytail turning undone to allow her charcoal black hair to flow in the wind.

>>28895 >With Uzi now the main host, can she control the DDs in the galaxy and stop their rampage and just leave whatever exists alone? That's a good question (and is funnily enough one I've thought about a LOT in the older Post-Canon Good Ending stuff). I personally don't think that Uzi currently has direct control of the other DDs due to the fact that their Administrator is still technically "CYN". That being said I also believe that it would be a trivially easy process for Uzi to brute-force a change in Administrator, so directly stopping the DDs rampaging across the galaxy is still an option
>Is Uzi now a giant mutant meat thingy and her WD body is just a hologram? Most likely. The only thing that makes me uncertain is that Cynwalker was definitely not just a hologram, so something like that could be going on with Uzi too?
>Why would she let the Solver live rent free in her head? My guess is that Uzi simply cannot completely kill The Absolute Solver, meaning that keeping it trapped/contained within herself is the next best thing
>Is the Solver stopped for good or does it still exist somewhere out there in the cosmos? The Solver definitely seems to be stopped unless it manages to corrupt Uzi from within, although the same probably can't be said about The Solver's assorted minions & slaves that are still (theoretically) out there
>>28927 Yeah I assumed that the Doll "ghost" in the credits was Doll exerting herself from inside this crowded-ass drone body with an ever growing number of weird autists inside of it.
>>28933 I wouldn't call it an abandoned plot thread so much as a "plot arc for a season that we're not going to get". When Liam said he still had other stories to tell in this universe.........he wasn't kidding. The entire credits sequence plus the post credits scene is basically a hilite reel of all the ideas he has for further stories. >Uzi has won but she now has her foe living inside her head with her, trying to remold her the way they want her to be >Those cores from Alice's oven have gone solverpede and are now lurking around the colony >Doll isn't truly dead, she's alive within Uzi's system and is trying to forcibly manifest herself in the physical world >J is trying to rebuild the ship again and get off-world etc etc Someone give this man a book deal or a meeting with Dynamite Comics or something ffs.

>>28951 Hasn't changed much for me honestly. Mostly cause I'm planning to do prequel stuff. Though the fact that a host can obliterate an entire country with a single NULL or tear a hole straight through the planet is interesting.
>>28959 Even before we knew Solver was a Jobber this hard she would have lost to Oogis. All that happened is the number of Oogis required to beat solver this does raise a scary question >Oogis kill solver >one vores the singularity >Main Host Oogi
>>28956 >Though the fact that a host can obliterate an entire country with a single NULL or tear a hole straight through the planet is interesting. It certainly reinforces my headcanon that the whole war was only able to happen because Cyn was 'playing for fun' rather than 'playing to win'
>Finally, we wanted to say that although this is the end of Murder Drones as a series, we may want to do more with Uzi and N.... who knows! We can do anything we want with indie animation IT'S NOT FUCKING OVER YOU ARE HERE FOREVER
>>28909 I've been pushing the idea for a while now and I guess I kinda got validated? They didn't have time to just stop and look directly at the camera and spell everything out for us.
>>28963 >Doll is just a sentient pile of nanites now. Imagine if this is what happened to Solver hosts if their core is destroyed and imagine this used as an origin for SolverAnon for how he ended up with Uzi, Doll and Cyn inside him.
>>28964 I have to wonder what that plot arc would look like. Doll had kinda come completely unglued and become bitter and semi-directionless.....and now she's some kind of parasitic force-ghost attached to Uzi. >More Doll-esque murders start happening around the colony >Uzi tries to investigate >Realizes that Doll is a part of her now

>>28739 >>28845 Mother is eternal. She is reality itself. Cyn realized this and tried to stop the cycle of eternal death and rebirth. Mother did not like this. Uzi unknowingly played right into Mother's plan.
>>28988 Actually I think the glados voice disproves the Cyn/Solver being different beings
If the glados voice belongs to Cyn, then why would the Solver be using it to speak to Uzi in the after credits scene. Cyn is supposedly dead here, and it's just the Solver talking to the new host.
If the glados voice belongs to the Solver, then it means Cyn was never in control at all and just a puppet

>>28990 >If the glados voice belongs to Cyn, then why would the Solver be using it to speak to Uzi in the after credits scene. Cyn is supposedly dead here, and it's just the Solver talking to the new host. The cope that evil!Cynfags are using is that Cyn is also inside Uzi now.
>>28990 >Cyn is supposedly dead here That is if you think shes dead, which seems not to be the case since she is talking to Uzi >and it's just the Solver talking to the new host. That is if you believe that is the Solver, which doesnt seem to be the case

It was too fast for you to see though, leaving you confused. >The oil writing on the wall was not so confusing, it was in Russian… >”I missed you, Anon…”
>>29003 Also, Doll's house is left completely untouched. Nobody concerned about the missing students bothered to go in there after Doll Carried the prom. Nor did Nori care that much about Yeva, in the end.
>>28999 >J0y was speechless to see one of her Monstrosities, giving a wandering human an oiljob.

>>29009 She's seen sitting on top of his head in the credits. It's funny really. For how character-driven the marketing, the merchandise, and the fanbase are, the show itself isn't, and doesn't spend much time on character interactions/on-screen development.
>>29007 Clearly the drones still haven't improved one bit and are just very poorly imitating humanity. If they did become like hunans this would be investigated.
>>29014 >much time on character interactions/on-screen development. Always what I hated most about this show and why I think TADC has done so well I think people generally undervalue having strong characters and character moments can do for shows Hell the best moments in ep8 and 7 is Cyn fucking with N and everyone around her because she basically tricked and abused everyone, then they stop that for a big action scene. MDs utter lack of Character moments is also probably why the finale felt so lackluster for so many people, its missing the Oomf, and J + Solver had weird off screen arcs somehow.
(not tribefagging just saying something I think TADC benefitted more from MD, both are equally good :) )
>>29016 At this point, if they just said "hey, all the main/prominent secondary characters are Solver hosts/zombie drones/special, and that's why they care when most of the drones don't, that would be fine as an explanation.
>HoDR introduces a new pamphlet to the human employees. >"Oil and You: How to interact with Drone Ghosts" >While it does explain stuff about them, the main focus of the pamphlets is the very explicit sexual stuff they could do. >It's basically like a hentai - oily blowjobs, tentacle sex and etc.
When will people learn that the Solver is just the power of being the Main Host, and "The Absolute Solver" was just Cyns name for herself (Absolute Solver = Main host of Solver) so she could have everyone say AS all the time (as in ASS)
>>29021 >weird offscreen arcs Whatever agreement Doll had with 'Tessa'/J,. Doll and the Zombie Drones tape. (for a bit, I thought that was supposed to be Cyn after how similar holo-V's eyes looked in 7, but I'm back to believing it's Doll). Why Doll thought betraying them in the elevator shaft would do anything for her finding the patch. We see the three pods descending toward Copper 9 at the end of the pilot. If Tessa and J's descent took place after the events of Episode 3, as suggested, what were they doing in the months that followed? Was that singularity from J's core that flew away (to where?) used to generate her anew, since clearly nobody treats her as a clone/replacement? Why exactly V went along with Lizzy before Episode 3. What they wanted us to believe J's relationship with Tessa in Episode 5 was
>>29044 >Doll and the Zombie Drones tape. (for a bit, I thought that was supposed to be Cyn after how similar holo-V's eyes looked in 7, but I'm back to believing it's Doll). That is absolutely Cyn. I don't know why you think it's Doll. The crows prove it's Earth.
>>29001 >She has enough control of her oil to make a convincingly-shaped body, and going by that post, enough to slip through a door, so she's extremely flexible >Engulfing the lower half of your body, her oily form squeezing and rubbing your legs as a slimy fleshlight envelops you >It's like a big viscous wave crashing against you, slow and overwhelming >You'd better hope this oil is non-toxic or you're going to have a full-body rash, better wash it all off either way Yeah, you could say that.
Something about Cyn looked really weird in this episode, like her face would one moment look find then shed make an expression and it would look terrible out of nowhere
>>29057 Oh sorry. I'm not really sure who this is but there's a hand in the previous shot that looks like it could be human, which would mean it's Cyn.
>>29061 I'm aware of the hand. But that would be redundant. Cyn's eyes are crosses, and would clearly be crosses at that distance, and are yellow-orange rather than the yellow-orange-reddish brown we see here. This is the shot that made me doubt, but doing more color analysis, I rejected the idea.
>>28696 My fic had been strongly leaning toward a "J working for the Solver" angle, and I'm glad to see that validated. I almost got memed by some aggressive "J thinks it's actually Tessa and that's oh so tragic" or "J thought it was the company" types.
My first watch of the finale, I was amazed by everything but the writing. On rewatch, I conclude that it was a perfect example of the sort of story that Liam Vickers wanted to tell, even (or perhaps meaning) that it left a lot on the table in terms of the potential of the real time experience/world/story so far.
I do feel the hollowness, the suddenly loss of certainty, the question of "it's done, what now" that I associate with endings of serial stuff I'm invested in, so the overall feeling is dissatisfied, yet deeply amazed.
>>29070 After getting killed in the swamp, N was revived. V was woken up as well, and tried a silly against Cyn. It didn't go well for her. But then she's backed up, and so she can't even have the dignity of dying in battle against the Solver, leading to her learned helplessness and an attempt to embrace the role of the killer she was forcibly reshaped into. Then (implicit) she gets dominated by J into this "cooperate with the Solver to survive" pact, not that Solver intended on anything other than a sort of slow-motion "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"-type affair with them.

>>29057 I thought it was Doll at first too but the color doesn't look quite right to me anymore given the revelations we got this episode. I think that was Cynwalker. The way you have the lights seemingly set in a larger ovoid kind of lines up with how she has drone "pupils" set in her "eyes"
>>29096 I dunno, kind of on the fence about them. They don't really get in the way of work except when they happen to make corridor to my cubicle.. well, slippery. They're relatively helpful but sometimes they spook me with the blinking in and out of existence, especially when I just wanted to grab a drink from the office water cooler.

Okay so Cyn = The Absolute Solver - with Cyn basically being the name for the Solver's drone LARP. Do I have that right?
Also, I sort of called an ending where the Absolute Solver isn't permanently defeates. Just held at bay, for now. It's a happier end than I was envisioning, but there's ultimately still dread of the Solver EVENTUALLY winning. It has all the time in the universe to wait.
>>29149 opposite, Cyn gained access to the Solvers abilities, went mad with power, and used it to fuck the universe as the main host, Uzi is now the main host There is no Solver personality, its just a mutated bootup screen
>>29150 HR was here long before you collaborators and HODR came along. We will not follow in the same fate as the Financial Department, Human Resources is still here to manage all human employees no matter how hard you try to erase us.
>>29154 What? The Financial Department is still here, we're still around. Nothing happened to us. Just come over and check. Do it. Check it. Go to the Financial Department. Now.
There is a poster here that REALLY doesn't think so and subscribes to the idea that Cyn is not the Solver, while the Solver is seperate (?) and what Cyn is using to do everything in the show. I mean, he can think that. But from what we know the drone that would be named Cyn was claimed as The Solver's host when it woke up in the dumps. Tessa named that drone Cyn using the armband on its arm, but ever since the Elliot Manor it's been the Solver under the name given by Tessa to that drone. The Absolute Solver is the entity behind everything in the show. Though Cyn works too when talking about the host - it's just the name Tessa gave after all. In the end, it's still the same entity regardless of what you go with.
>>29159 >NTA The Solver is trapped in Uzi for now but that leaves the question of the DDs/Witches that exist in other planets if there are any. Would the DDs still carry out their orders and would the Solver eventually break away from Uzi and manifest in another drone?
>>29165 >Deciding to finally silence the rumors of his death, TherapyAnon gets up on stage and sings I'm Still Standing >Halfway through, OilDoll leaps out of the darkness, engulfs him, and drags him to his room

>>29161 >DDs/Witches that exist in other planets if there are any. There arent any If there were, no, because Uzi is now the main host of the Solver so they have no reason to and "Witches" wouldnt be under Cyns control pinging whatever
>>29149 >Okay so Cyn = The Absolute Solver - with Cyn basically being the name for the Solver's drone LARP. >Do I have that right? Pretty much. Like >>29159 said Cyn is the name Tessa gave to the drone that the Solver occupies as its main host. So I guess it sort of is a LARP in a way, especially since the Solver was playing its part as an autistic goofy drone maid for a while and calling N "big brother" while preparing for the Gala, unleashing the Disassembly Drones, and consuming Earth.
Basically, Cyn = The Solver's vessel The Solver = inhabiting that discarded drone after it accepted the offer to let it inside, promising "I will not discard you" - which in classic eldritch fashion it was being clever and very literal.
>>29175 But if there was any other planets left, the DDs not on C9 would just keep going with their murder everything plan and Uzi can't stop them since Cyn is still their administrator.
>>29172 >Retarded fags who keep talking about Cyn as if she was ever anything but a puppet I noticed earlier in the thread the one sperg writing essays defending his fancanon that Cyn is evil and not the Solver and I don't understand where he's pulling this shit from. There's not a single scene in the show that could be argued to support that. Cyn literally acts like a creepy puppet, it's part of the direction for her character. I don't get it either, why the cope? If he just accepts that his in-his-head version of Cyn is just the Solver, nothing really changes? It's still the same character, except now he's not just making things up out of devotion to his autism-fu. And it's more in-line with what we see in the show, which is the Solver possessing its hosts. Not a drone using the Solver to possess other drones.
Also, he seems oddly violently opposed to pointing out that the Solver's dialogue, even through Cyn, is always labelled as "Solver" and "Absolute Solver" in the subs and credits? Coming up with some kind of cope that "its the interns getting it wrong". Are you serious?
>>29117 Actually, yeah this part was interesting for me. Cyn's core was entirely burnt out by sunlight (I'll give Uzi, N and Nori falling from space and surviving a pass because they were within the night side of the planet's atmosphere) before that area-of-effect stasis happened. It's not time-related otherwise the characters won't be able to move, even if snowflakes stopped falling. I think of it as a protective kernel because Uzi made thin tunnel straight to the other side to let just enough sunlight through to kill Cyn's core (she might've burned a bit of her hand doing that) but the Absolute Solver itself, that was the thing that the core-less body tried to recover and failed. I think I'm glad that it wasn't over-explained. Few things about just this episode that kept its hooks on my brain: >Why did the red-eye Sentinel let V live Did Tessa's remaining blood alter its programming? Or was it biting into mixture of flesh, blood, steel and oil that scrambled its Free Roam programming? It still seemed to want to chomp on Lizzy and the others. >J being a traitor I think it's just irony at play. She called N a traitor in the pilot, only to later be revealed the real traitor. I guess the thing is there wasn't enough screentime for her that I'd get the traitor characterization. I know the N/V Matrix reconstruction memory with Uzi as the outside hacker trying to hack her way in that is episode 5 is the most we got for J but I think.. I think if there was a bit of flashback during V's initial fight with J there when she said >"If I promised you anything.. it tricked me too." Like I think that would be a good momentary break to flash back to the Gala massacre and show Cyn offering or forcing J to work for her. >V's trauma I did feel bad for V though, the flashback was hard to garner solid info on but she might have tried to do something when Cyn dragged N's body back. Given that N was the one who saw V's body ripped apart, maybe Cyn tried to refashion him first before V tried to interfere. Not sure if he was online as a WD or a DD when he saw that though.
Honestly I am at the point of doubting the Solver can even corrupt main hosts, if it could (and you believe its evil) why wouldn't it do that to Uzi now? The only thing people are mentioning is that is Willpower, but we both see she isnt struggling against the solver and we arent shown a struggle period for it. We see when Cyn wakes up she gets the Yellow eyes, we now know with Uzi that means youre the main host / under the main hosts control So there wasnt really a corruption phase for Cyn she just woke up like that. Now that we have that out of the way we can talk about how Cyn woke up terrified of her surroundings, which doesnt seem very Eldritch like to me.
Now that we have Uzi as main host to compare against Cyn it becomes more and more clear how the Solver actually works. It doesnt seem like its "possession" or else why does the Cynwalker body need the black hole core if it can just possess the body? Clearly this doesn't happen to the "possessed" drones since Nori was fully possessed at one point and her core was perfectly fine no weird solver singularity in sight. Which clearly shows Cyns specific core was special given her status as main host which is now given to Uzi which I assume has her singularity core swapped for the main host one. People only think the solver can / would consume Cyns personality because we see something similar happen to Uzi during 6 as Cyn keeps pinging her, which might as well be a remote override of people on the Solver Server. But the only logically way to explain why A. Solver who is evil isnt consuming Uzis personality B. Uzi isnt fighting against the Solver within her C. Suddenly the Solver isnt acting evil or mad about being stopped, and Uzi doesnt react like the solver talking to her now is abnormal or strange (she seems more annoyed then anything) points to Solver corruption not actually being a thing in the way we thought, Uzi only gets "Pinged" due to a lack of resistance to it, not her very soul being corrupted, and the longer it goes on the less you can resist Cyns ability to control you remotely, we know Nori did escape and is now immune to it, Uzi is as well (probably from the code from the Macguffin)
Also since Uzi and Nori are the only two people in the whole show to resist the Cyn pinging due to willpower + macguffin cross code ; that means solver corruption really is just like hacking a computer? How else do you explain it being a literal device? We know its something that exists in universe since we see Uzi do something similar to a class mate in a very Cyn pinging like way (Voice coming out of the other classmate drone) minus the classic yellow eyes which basically just mean the Solver is the one doing it
>>29181 >I noticed earlier in the thread the one sperg writing essays defending his fancanon that Cyn is evil Youre a very angry little man and I feel bad for you honestly
>>29152 Vell, zat's unfortunate. Report to medical, I'm sure one of ze nurse drones vill get you sorted out.

Coming up with some kind of cope that "its the interns getting it wrong". Are you serious?
Shes called Cyn in all the merch and by liam guess shes actually Cyn teehee
>>29181 I don't get it either, but expect them to sperg out and shit on any writing, artwork, or discussion that doesn't take their headcanon into account.
So would Uzi, N and V just keep killing drones in the bunker just to survive? That doesn't sound like a very happy ending to be honest for everyone and the bunker drones.
>>29188 I dont know what people did to live this rent free in your mind to where you need to both imagine they are the same person and imagine them being spergs in order to justify your own projections because you disagree on a cute maid drone

Fanwank addicts loooooove the idea that they and they alone fully understand the creator's vision and tend to develop some kind of weird parasocial fixation on that relationship and then just convince themselves that anything that contradicts it is some third-party conspiracy.
>Be Jack. >Be a drone bounty hunter. >Make a good several thousand off every case you work. >"Might as well not even work! The drones barely take any effort to hunt. They can't run far since they've got short legs, and they've gotta be the worst at trying to hide their location." >Stalk various HoDR-supportive websites, suspicious YouTube channels, and vague 4Chan and Tumblr posts 24/7 in a van parked right outside a Jack-in-the-Box. >Through this retarded search-and-secure system, you almost always find your target within a few hours of being hired to track them down. >The runaways are usually whole. These missions are the easiest ones. Disabling them with a quick bootlooping-grenade and hauling their body back to your trailer's never been hard (except the hauling part---that's given you some lower back pain from how heavy the drones can be sometimes). >Now, scavengers and scrappers? You don't fuck with the metal-salvaging crackheads unless you have to, and having to fuck with them means they're trying to take apart *your* mark---the drone that'll be the source of your next month's meals---and you can't have any of that. You've seldom fought them, opting for deception and luring them away instead. However, the few times you have had to kill them in self defense? You just let all that fall into the back of your mind. >One day though, you just can't handle it. >Job's been getting harder. Bounties are getting smarter. The pay's getting smaller. It feels like God's deliberately putting you through the ringer out of sheer entertainment, and so, if you did have a hotline straight to God, you'd tell him to go fuck himself and give you back everything you've lost. >Your eye, for one. You lost that the same night you lost the last inklings of naivety or happy-go-luckiness in your heart. >It was a dark night. Stormy too. Conditions were perfect. Scrappers didn't like lurking in the rain. Being hobos or crackheads, they mostly avoided it, especially since 31st century pollution had gotten so bad that acid rain was regular now and meant they'd either get chemical burns on their forehead or risk making their hard-earned (stolen) clothes unwearable. >You drove your van to the McDonalds at the far edge of town. You figured you'd lure your mark---a drone named Abby who you met on an HoDR hookup website called 'Nuts & Bolts' (very cheesy, a bit degenerate, but if you had the time to pursue romance, you'd have likely stuck around on there and actually chatted up with a cute Worker). >Now, Abby had the assumption she'd be meeting up with a lean, youthful human male to share an order of large fries and metal scraps with. So, when you pulled up to the lot and saw her waving at you, you were quick to park, hop out the door, and wave back at her. >You couldn't deny that she was beautiful. Even if she wasn't a human, her luscious red hair and deep crimson eyes almost made her seem *not* a Worker to you. The slightly revealing dress she wore (even though drones didn't have breasts, something oddly clicked in your mind when you saw her partly revealed chest) reminded you even more that you were baiting your mark through the promise of a *date*. You couldn't let that get in your head. >You went inside the McDonalds with her. For being a runaway drone, you assume she must've not cared much about where the two of you ate. She was out of her employers' glass-shattering abuse (you could tell by how the edge of her visor was a bit bent, like a human had pressed their thumb there in frustration). She was even about to go on a proper date with a human! Who knew? She might even get to lay with him later. You knew she wouldn't get to. >You both sat down once you ordered. She got a drink of oil and dried metal scraps. You got chicken nuggets; a childhood classic that your mother used all of her first job's paycheck to get you. >"So, what do you do?" She asks. >"You saw the van, right?" >She nods. >"I'm a traveling artist. Go far and wide. It's how I get my inspiration, y'know?" You say this, though, the only art you ever did was the occasional childish sketch of what your life will look like after you get your next paycheck. >Abby's immediately enraptured. >"Far and wide? Like. . ." >You pipe up. "Like across the states. Across *countries*. Hell, if I can afford it, I'll even take a two-way trip to Copper 9 to get some inspiration." >"That's. . . That's amazing!" She lets out. "You can make just about anything with a pencil, can't you?" >"Course. Even more once there's paint involved. I *gotta* use the most luscious colors I can. I swear, if I could get a red like the kind you've got in your eyes, I might just make my most perfect piece yet." >"Oh, stop it. . ." She stammers, crimson flush marks forming under her eyes. >The plan is working. >You both enjoy your meal after you get rung up to get it. Abby eats very quickly. Her eyes dart around. You can practically feel the paranoia and tenseness locking her in her own body. >You make a mental sigh. You've never once done this, but doing it just tonight won't hurt, right? >You rest a hand atop one of Abby's rattling ones. She looks at you with hollowed eyes shaking in pure fear. Then, calm. They fill with color again. >"S-Sorry," she said. >"Don't be," you tell her. "I should be the one saying sorry." You can't help but apologize for what you're going to have to do to her---bring her back to the very people that made her into the fearful mess she is. >"Why are you sorry?" She sniffed. >"I just. . . I didn't mean to grab your hand like that." >She softly smiles at you. There's a genuine warmth in that smile. More, there's appreciation. This is the first time you've ever felt proud of what you've done. >"Don't be. Let's just. . . enjoy tonight. Maybe see where it takes us? I know I'm curious where we'll go."
Here's my writefagging Jack the Bounty Hunter green! I'm open to critique or simply people telling me what they thought of it. Come forth!
>>29200 >make comment about how people disagreeing about a character leads to one becoming so obsessed they need to create false scenarios in their head about the other side to justify rent free baby rages over a cartoon girl fight >Case and point: guy who believes those who disagree with him have a parasocial relationship with Liam for some reason lol, lmao even
waiting patiently for the inevitable second QNA with Liam for confirmation on Cyns relationship with the Solver only for him to answer the question " Does is uzi hawk tuah"
>>29209 >toby walking into a bar and ending up falling for the cute drone bartender >she makes him drinks off the clock when they're just chatting >he's a perfect sounding board for ideas, and he appreciates the company that doesn't chide him for being an alcoholic
>>29242 The source for the wider picture of human colonization is 'Tessa', and who knows what actually happened. Which is another thing they did nothing with, despite hyping up the 'fate of the universe' in marketing. Is it just Copper 9 left, and just this one outpost on Copper 9?
>>29244 I'm not trusting anyone. I want to know what the objective state of play in the universe is at the end of Episode 8. Earth is destroyed, but what else? J is seen in the credits repairing the landing pod, to go where?
>>29243 On the patch that's on "Tessa"'s spacesuit, there iconography representing Humanity's colonised worlds with Earth at the center. All of them are crossed out, except for one. Which presumably represents Copper 9. Given those implications, and that the terminal we are shown in Episode 6 shows a diagram of Earth bekng consumed by the Solver, then the exoplanets beginning to fall starting with the Proxima and Plat-Binary systems - it's safe to say that between Earth's destruction and the Disassembly Drones' arrival.on Copper 9 the Solver has been going around consuming all of Hunanity's worlds. Copper 9 is the only one left, and even then the Core Collapse killed all organic life on it.
>>29249 Considering who "Tessa" is I can't really trust what she shown in picrel. I'm saying it may be lying by saying it's consumed every single colonized planet. I'm not denying that its consumed other planets but only Earth, correct me if I'm wrong, is confirmed to have been bwoinked thanks to N's flashback. Also the patch probably isn't accurate as to humanity having only 7 planets. The future human government may be a federation and that the patch is just a stylistic choice bureucratically speaking. Look at the current federations in the 21st century, only the US shows how many states they have on their flag with the stars, Germany, Russia, India, etc. are federations but they don't show the amount of states/territories they have on their flags.
>>29251 >it's not reliable because I said so and I have this weird autistic hangup that any information diverged by the Solver is automatically untrue because it's the bad guy Take it with a grain of salt if you want, but it's all of the information we are given and there is literally no reason for the Solver to lie here when acting as Tessa or elaborately faking that the Solver consumed Earth and the other exoplanets for.. no fucking reason.
I've seen you say this exact thing to people before so I can't be fucked getting into an argument with you. I just don't really care about your fancanon that the Solver is apparently lying about eating planets even though we know that's what it does.
>>29249 >>29251 And even if it is reliable, that raises the question of what the logistics/production networks are like. Was Copper 9 self-sufficient before the core collapse? Did it remain/become so after the fact? Or are they left with stuff they can't maintain, watching year by year as their ability to sustain society rusts away?
>>29254 >it's not reliable because it was created by a character who was faking her identity during an attempt to manipulate N into killing Uzi because that would be funny, and who included misleading shots like an intact Tessa being rescued by humans or a "live" shot of a planet in another stellar system Gee, when put it that way...
>>29254 >Character who is known for lying and when they said this information they were lying about who they were, what they wanted, and a mountain of other stuff to multiple different people >Mfw: people think they may be lying
>>29255 Yeah, was their society a ticking time bomb where several generations later, it collapses in on itself due to not knowing how to do anything else?
imagine if the entire history of what we know in murder drones was just some bullshit cyn made up in the characters heads, there was no solver war, there was no grand scheme of assimilation, it just turns out the entire plot was just some relationship drama between cyn, v, n, and eventually uzi dating back to the mansion a few years ago it's like a civil war in the middle of africa that nobody pays attention to until a random rebel group detonates a nuclear device in a major city
>>29181 >Cyn literally acts like a creepy puppet, it's part of the direction for her character. Murder Drones is a pastiche of the media of the 2000s and the extremely early 2010s. The direct inspiration for the way the Humans are depicted in the setting, and for the Solver War, and what is implied about the Solver, especially in the final episode (reality apparently ceases to exist if it has no current primary host) seems to be Warhammer 40,000 and the conflict between the Imperium and Chaos. Daemon Princes are extremely powerful individuals who resonate so strongly with metaphysical concepts that they become slaves to primordial gods that are metaphysical embodiments of them. What can be seen on the visor of the Worker Drone that Tessa would later name Cyn when the Solver approaches her indicates that she was thinking about an "exponential end" right when she was approached.
>>29192 There was absolutely a Season 2 planned that got cut to focus on TADC. I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt until episode 8's ending sequence.
>>29261 season 2 is probably coming as soon as circus begins to wind down, likely late 2025 to early 2026, they just don't want to set up expectations so early. the md production staff also need a break, they've been pounding out these drones for the past three years, lol
>>29266 >No cunt! >*BOOM* >No ovaries! >*BOOM* >And no butthole either since this girl definitely feeds off of radiation! >And your love >*DOUBLE BOOM*
>>29046 alright one last update before I go to bed [ https://catbox.moe/c/iiovm5 ] not sure how much longer my drawing spree will continue before I burn out
>>29267 >since doll wanna act like fucking clown I should let her know the circus is nine miles in the opposite direction! >*BOOM* >how about doll cry’s to her mom, oh wait she don’t have one! >*BOOM* >since doll wanna be so cool why doesn’t she go look for her father? drippless excuse of scrap metal >*BOOM* >if doll is a solver host, she can just make some friends, because she’ll never get any real ones! >*BOOM* >doll should give up her oil, because someone more important than you needs it! >*BOOM* >clowns make anywhere close to 50k a year, yet doll choose to do it for free! >*BOOM* >when doll log into her profile, the entire network crashes itself so everyone doesn't see the embarrassment that she is! >*BOOM* >even in other universes, I'd bet doll still same outcome on all of them, because her being a loser is the biggest achievement she’ll ever get! >*BOOM* >I've just meet doll’s parents, so I've show them a photo of what she has become, and do you know what they said to me? “having a daughter was the biggest mistake we had ever made” >*family disappointment BOOM*
>>28992 Nice... >>28996 I find it amusing because it's a parallel to the Uzi jokes being a smelly gremlin, though ghost Doll's case is more because of the form she takes. >>28968 Yes, a playful powerful villain works because they can fail due to their hubris. Cyn using her blinks in the fight so many times that Uzi grew to expect her to teleport behind her worked for me. >>28983 It did, and the atmospheric horror for that scene was so well done. I'm so fascinated by that sequence. >>29004 >>29006 That's adorable, good job
>>29277 > Cyn using her blinks in the fight so many times that Uzi grew to expect her to teleport behind her worked for me. I liked it too. The villain has been generally trolling and psychologically screwing with the protagonists basically since episode 2, and it's been effective. Seeing one of the characters flip the script on them was a nice way to close out the series.
>>29286 Just an idea, but imagine if her mom is out there like that >Oil Doll and Oil Yeva having a second chance in life, chose to spend it fighting over Anon
>Oil Doll >It wasn't Nori having taken over Doll's body I propose we call her Doill. The first Vickers slimegirl. I don't like that she is canon. Death and sacrifice feel pointless when the characters keep coming back. Btw did KatAnon show uo anywhere?
>>29289 That's just the side effect of your characters being robots and eldritch fuckery being involved. Death is just an inconvenience if your character has his determination stat maxed out.
>>29272 thank you again, it's gorgeous stop when you want to and not a moment after I have compiled everything I have written so far and am submitting it to a quarterly Warhammer 40,000 fan magazine (they accept entries not strictly related to 40K,) would you like your art (AN0N covered in blood) to be included? and if so, to be credited and by what handle?
Gonna rewatch certain scenes or ones I liked in the different languages tracks. Safe to say that every languages understood the assignment with LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN, kudos to Japanese for the giggle.
>>29291 Yeah but now the stakes are pointless. If Uzi or Nori die they will eeturn as oil elementals. Cyn might too. Hell, Uzi has two extra lives now. Core and oil elemental. Core destruction isn't even relevant anymore. Doill formed separate from her core.
>>29297 Cyn is indeed prime cuddling material due to her cuteness but she is also pure fucking toxin. Cuddling her would make you feel good put she doesn't deserve it. We ned an AU good Cyn for our cuddling cravings.
Oil Doll reminds me of Snot Tick. They will beat her by sucking her in. Either that or they will trap her in a tracktor engine and burn her. Then she will become Smoke Doll, travel to the atmosphere and become Global Dark Age Doll.
>>29296 That's a good idea actually. >>29279 >The villain has been generally trolling and psychologically screwing with the protagonists basically since episode 2 Yeah. The Callback ping corridor scene, especially V's moment with Cyn. She was clearly meek and traumatized by Cyn, opposite of what we just saw of her taking some anger out on J (switched her claws back to her usual hands, body language etc). God that was such a good sequence, I need to put BHL through something like that.
>>29089 Scrolling and seeing this. >Bad Ending: E succumbs during one of her bouts of Solver-induced rages. Her backup will simply pick up where the previous one left off, with E none the wiser. >Average Ending: E is free from the Solver’s control, but is unable to move past the truth of there being no “Boss” to return to. Becomes a wagie. >Good Ending: E is free and able to move on, now lives quietly amidst her gardens that she tends to. The scars can never go away, but they can heal.
Bros I can’t cope with Cyn not getting a happy ending. Does anybody know some gnostic /x/ type shit that will manifest her into the real world? Preferably without the Solver
>>29313 >>29316 A retard once fucked up the rule of sympathy so badly that he wound up getting corrected that if he was going to give blood then he didn't get to half ass it. I got to see a perfect pair of goatwoman tits in a dream. To the victor goes the spoils of the weakest. That was a long time ago.
>>29336 After ep8 I would install a self-destruct mechanism in J's core and beat the everloving shit out of her on the regular whenever she displeased me. That bitch has no sense of loyalty or gratitude. She only understands fear.
Anon returns to IC-0N after Cyn’s defeat >”Well, well, well. Look who came crawling back after all. What? Did that so called “Exponential End” end up not what she was cracked up to be?” >”Figures. She could never measure up to a possible god like me! What? What was I doing? Oh you know, the usual. Consuming a little bit here, killing a little bit over there. There was absolutely no crying over you whatsoever. Nope, no sleepless nights for me!” >Cues to IC-0N curled up in her bed, sniffling and listening to sappy tunes. >”None at all…”
>>29198 I like it. The fact that its not on Copper 9 seems to have an interesting spin to it, and the whole bounty hunter things always cool. Keep at it writebro.
>>28961 >>29348 and V just keeps on killing drones, which was apparently a bad thing when Doll was doing it, but V got a pass and now Uzi joins in too
> make a cool and compotent antagonist > give her a sympathetic and understandable goal > make her not entirely heartless toward the protagonist > kill her tragically right before almost killing the protagonist > make the protags turn around at the end and do all the bad shit she did > twist the knife in the middle of the hypcrisy display
>>29354 the ending happened some hated it and just left others just wanted to see the ending, and also left community split in half and its causing fighting, driving even more people away
nothing more to look forward to, so people will keep filing out in short order over the coming week
>>29359 >forget about all of this instantly, get tunnel vision on spooky corpse robot reveal, work backwards from there Liam is the original Cynfag, it’s obvious she’s his favourite character, she’s all he draws
>>29359 >"Uzi, you're supposed to be heroic on a hero's journey."
>"Well I totally was. I saved the fricken universe for crying out loud!"
>"You killed all your classmates for oil and let your boyfriend do something similar. Also I'm pretty sure you left Doll for dead."
>"Well...I...shut up! I brought most of 'em back."
>"And I'm sure they're ambivalent about you fixing the problem you caused." >DD!Emily clings obsessively to (you)r back. The rest of her classmates are off being their usual selves.

>>29306 >>29261 The symbolism of the cosmos have spoken, my little Freemason: The shot in the mirror also calls to both the episode 4 promo material and the Ndog trailer thumbnail before directly visually referencing both what happens if you overlay them and fiddle with the opacity, as well as N's dream of in retrospect Uzi overriding Cyn as the main host. Everything has gone according to plan of the Archangel of Mother's Legions, Her favorite curiosity in countless eons which She allows to exist out of boredom. The truly dangerous upstart, his quirky playful autistic little sister who turned herself into a cool tall evil witch and referred to herself in the royal we and had a long deliberate shot of her with the moon before the first time she ever truly rebelled, has been contained as a threat for the foreseeable future, while he and his grumpy loner purple nerd immensely powerful magically awakened GF eat people and revel in the thrill of the hunt. I am you but better. Serial Designation N gets to have his cake and eat it too. >N falls to the Earth with Uzi from the clouds halfway through, which is also when her transformation is halfway finished and she is utterly horrified as she begins eating people (presumably she only ate body parts and oil from Doll's place prior) >N falls to the Earth with Uzi from space including visibly burning up in the final episode, wherein she becomes the new main host and is depicted casually watching anime with N as a decapitated head sits on the floor of her bedroom Definitely nothing in light of the overt implication in the final episode that the Solver is literally God.
Repeat after me lovely anons “we will be here until the sun blows up” Until. The sun. Blows up.
no one’s going anywhere, keep your heads screwed on tight, we’ve dealt with campaigns of demoralization before, it’s a no-brainier that agitators would try to harm us while we’re vulnerable, the only thing that can end a fan community is lack of OC, I will hold this blessed citadel aloft singlehandedly like Atlus if I must, but as long as there is the indelible love of cute little robots in this world, we will endure, communities far smaller than us have weathered much greater adversity and come out all the stronger
>>29367 Yeah, I already know that, they can take this place off me when they pry it off my cold dead hands, and good luck, because I will be grabbing strongly with my cold dead hands
>>29360 I think some people just need time to decompress. I'm still looking forward to AJ's music for episodes 7 and 8. Bite Me has become my new ear worm and I love it. I also look forward to new OC stuff now that there's new stuff revealed. Cynwalker's Callback Ping scene is absolutely creepy as all hell and I hope to see it being utilized for thread DDs having nightmares. It also shows Solver Drones can resist being controlled if they are patched and they are strong-willed. Haven't seen much mention of possibly Nori's body at the beginning of the episode but I just got here after a busy day. Like having the finale means you have enough information on how to narratively balance your Solver drone fan character!
Image:172451477543.png(206kB, 986x559)You might hate me, but I'll give it a shot..png
>>29367 We will be here until lying physically destroys him. >>29371 The core of poirotfag's theory was always that N wanted Uzi to be a vampire with him, and all you have to do is look at the credits sequence and its reception to see that this has ultimately occurred.
>>29364 >>29377 >>29357 There is theoretically immense potential in a grimdark fanfic inspired by The Boys for those who truly don't care for the ending, and it's not a coincidence that it's universally the ones without creative bones in their bodies that are leaving.
First drawing of BoyUzi was 8 October according to my computer. Now, 25 August, there's like.. close to 400 (if I ignore certain animated frames that I saved as png that I then stitch together with ezgif) files of assorted doodles and drawings. Show might have ended but I just wanted to say I absolutely enjoy the creative energy of these threads, from /co/ prime to /trash/ to here. I'll definitely stick around, as long as irl stuff doesn't get in the way. Still working on that big ass poster, 43 characters remaining. Hopefully, I'll get it done by midnight of Monday.
>>29388 I would try to ask if how exactly Cyn in Uzi's tail work, who has exact control of the tail in what moments? Can Cyn control the main body at times? Those types of things.
Can someone file a complaint to Cyn? There’s Oil Ghosts roaming about HoDR and I’m not sure if they fall under the requirements to allow them to be a part of it.
>>29388 I'd ask if the universe is still at stake or something, because I'm really not sure. I was lying in bed after the finale and randomly thought "did the Solver give Uzi a bow because it was about to ruin her like it did the last two bow-wearers it interacted with?" Is this a clean break where Uzi now has chuuni bullshit powers but has to pretend to have a normal body and deal with the silly on a daily basis, or is this a sneaky bad end where reality is still fucked, but the Solver's on vacation for a bit?
>>29388 It's also worth mentioning that right now we have Anon's on /co/ and some on /trash/ that also combined with people taking a break after seeing the finale explains why it may feel somewhat empty.
>>29402 They originally sold us the ending as "bittersweet". The exhausted look on Uzi's face at the end coupled with the Solver trying to reshape into a mirror image of its old host I kind of got the sense that Uzi has basically made herself a prison for the AS, and she's trying to live a happy life with N whilst simultaneously having to constantly blcok out the Solver trying to manipulate her. Theoretically, when she dies, the Solver loses its last host and the universe is safe again, sort of like the scenario posited by that short animated horror film "Worm" or that classic ending to a story where the protagonist becomes a hermit to keep some kind of destructive power or force away from the rest of the world.
>>29411 Being split between 3 different threads across different websites is a pain in the ass. With that being said, as much as I like /md/ I wish we were never banished from /co/. It made keeping up with everything so much easier when we were in one place.
>>29407 I think that the first one I saw was this one: https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/139380794/ From that day on, I visited the threads daily. The first I posted on was definitely this one, I'm almost sure: https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/139429245/
>>29348 I mean bitterness is kind of a core part of Doll's character. She got treated rather unfairly by life and it made her into a monster. That undying desire for retribution is probably what drove her to come back as an oil-ghost in the first place assuming that drone ghosts operate on similar motivations to typical folkloric human ghosts.
>>29418 >therapyanon cannot not hide anymore nor anywhere >his patient became a literal oil ghosts and can show up anywhere >therapyanon wrote one letter containing three words >guess I'll die
>>29428 >Been over a year Feels weird but it’s true. I wonder how many more years i’ll be here now that the series has ended. 1 year? 2? Will there be a /lm/ rather than /md/? Will we still have a thriving community? Hell, will we have our own fully fledged website? How many drawfags and writefags will still be here in 2026? Many have said that they’ll stay until they run out of steam, but how long until we get bored of the same setting? Will Liam make another series that keeps us united or will we dwindle slowly but surely until we remember these threads and think of good times?
>>29433 Look at the filename. Don't expect tumblrfags to call her Cynwalker, they're afraid of being 'incorrect' or whatever. Bunch of grade-A lamewads who tape eggshells on their feet.
>>29388 The series actual timeline. How much time passed between the gala and Earth being destoryed? How much time passed between Earth getting destroyed and Copper-9's core collapse? How long did the freed drone society last before the Disassembly Drones came along? etc.
>>29407 https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/137590746/#137636145 might've been a thread or two earlier, this is where my oldest image comes from though. back in those days, lots of md threads didn't even hit bump limit

>>29489 Totes.Secret society kinda shit where they use eachother's children. Tessa was either spared by her premature death, traumatized into a tard , or her parents were too ashamed of her to enter her in the....kiddy pool.
I don't normally make art requests but this idea's burning a hole in my fucking head. >J bent over with her ass to the viewer >Cynwalker sitting on top of her, legs crossed and grinning, telling you that J loves being treated roughly
>>28321 >>28790 I did mention in one of my old posts that undead Tessa could be a funny background gag/cameo for The Gaslight District but who knows whether GlLITCH will actually do that.
>“Also a pretty messy one, the main villain(s?) were barely explored and any tension and drama was neutered by lolsorandom jokes and protagonist-centered morality. Not to mention that many aspects and the history the setting were severly underutilized and plenty of things were not properly followed up upon.”
To be honest as one of the people who was unsatisified with the ending (Mostly for reason like the ones stated by others in >>28623 and >>28721 as well as some admittedly personal baises) I kinda lost a lot of motivation for making new stuff for Murder Drones or finishing some of the things that I had planned. But some of the stuff posted here might give me new inspiration. Also I am afraid that I am going to be that guy™ and say that the Solverpedes and ‘Doll’ that we saw in the credits were probably just callbacks to episodes 2 and 3.
>>29507 >Also I am afraid that I am going to be that guy™ and say that the Solverpedes and ‘Doll’ that we saw in the credits were probably just callbacks to episodes 2 and 3. That's kinda what I think too.
Personally I thought despite its issues, it was peak.
Like okay, it was only twenty minutes long, but compared to the rest of the series, 8 felt like it had the most passion/dedication/whatever you want to call it, like everyone genuinely went all out in whatever way they could.
And the fights were solid too (except they off-screened most of the WDF vs J fight), the final fight at the end synced up well with the music too.
And the fact that it didn't have some sad sooner ending like "AND THEY ALL DIED TAKING DOWN THE SOLVER" or whatever, but happy (ignoring that Cyn is now inside Uzi).
My biggest fucking complaint, is that Liam decided to end the main series with that. Like......HE COULD HAVE DEFINITELY GIVEN US ANOTHER SEASON!!!
As for whatever MD content we could possibly get next?.....It seems like we could potentially have some sort of stand alone spin-offs, probably not any fully-fledged spin-off series though, maybe comics and shorts? Besides the "we might do more with Uzi and N in the future" thing.
All in all, here's to more of these Threads, be it here, on /co/, or wherever. And Praise be to Cyn.
>>29511 For me the sudden abrupt ending is what really got me. I thought for sure that it was a fakeout ending, even as the credits rolled. I had to check the video time and sure enough, 20 minutes had passed. >"we might do more with Uzi and N in the future" Them specifically mentioning Uzi and N makes me think it's gonna be slice of life stuff in outpost 3. Beretta might actually become canon.
>>29507 >the Solverpedes and ‘Doll’ that we saw in the credits were probably just callbacks to episodes 2 and 3. this half were epilogue, half were memories
>>29512 Yeah, despite it being happy-ish, the ending did feel pretty rushed, like Liam went and said "okay everyone, the cool anime fights are done, so how do we finish off the rest of this boring epilogue stuff as quickly as possible?" Even adding an additional five minutes of trying to nearly wrap it up would've helped without taking away from the comedic vibes Liam likes having.
Funny how similar a post-canon slice of life would probably get with the Beretta stuff, since Aunti-Cyn has a chance of being a thing there (though we probably won't get any Jane's or solver-cults).
>GLITCH eventually decides to do an official sequel/continuation to Murder Drones >This time the showrunner isn't Liam Vickers >Liam still remains on-board as a creative consultant How likely do you think this is to actually happen? More importantly, do you think it'd actually be any good?
>>29515 problem is what we got is what we got until anything more actually happens, it does not and will not exist and wont change the conclusion of the series
>>29524 (Actually Me This Time) Actually now that I think about it, I don't think there really was any greentext that did play with that to begin with. Does anyone have any?
>>29527 I don't have a greentext, I only have a memory. I remember something about Doll being brought back by The Solver to work with Jane or something?
>>29407 might have been 66154193 or 65959737 on /trash/ considering that i kinda "barred" myself from reading whole threads before finishing watching it myself (started in around may 2024, though it was in my todo for a while) but i did read some stuff about the pilot being slightly rough before watching it. then i pretty much lurked off and on between may and the finale teaser earlier this month and finally started visiting the various threads both here and on 4ch pretty much daily. >>29518 on how likely, my gut points more towards no than yes if there's no interest by glitch themselves to resume (i'd imagine they'd prioritize new series and by then liam would have already thought up/started working on other things) and about the second spoiler, i guess if they can keep some of that vickers style/edge but without the major issues from "S1" (e.g. the pacing) i'd imagine it'd be pretty nice (as in the new director acts kind of like a "proofreader" for liam's ideas).
hopefully someone can make sense out of my sleep deprived ramblings
>>29511 >Like......HE COULD HAVE DEFINITELY GIVEN US ANOTHER SEASON!!! I don't think it's that HE didn't want to give us another season, it's that Glitch only ordered 8 episodes. Look at Design and Yellow Halogen and how open-ended they were, the guy is an absolute fountain of ideas, at least in the abstract.
>>29518 It COULD work assuming the lead writer isn't fucking retarded (very possible considering the state of academe and the general population). Liam has always been best as the idea guy so if somebody else is actually writing the narrative it could actually be BETTER than the original.
>>29557 It's all good, I know a lot of people don't like her, and I think that was really solidified after EP 8. I like her because she's such a meme character.
>>29566 >>29572 >On Oogichan, there exists an EvilEnn!Schizo that posts random out of context screenshots to solidify their theory >Such as the time Enn almost almost stepped on an ant >Or the time that Enn didn't share his snack with the other Enns
>>29567 Outside of winging, has the "N is evil" theory ever been fully refuted? Technically speaking N is still under the control of Uzi/Cyn through admin privileges', couldn't Cyn just undo them in 2 seconds and take over N? Could this have been a plan B all along?
>>29455 Gonna start a Cyn/Uzi fight drawing in a bit. It took longer than I had thought it would to be inspired by the finale. But I have a cool idea that I'm really interested in now. >>29407 https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/136315032/#136315032
Does SD-X have clothes on? The torso looks like she has a gray tube top on but I'm not sure, it just looks different compared to a disassembly drone without clothes on.
>>29590 Yeah don't hold out hope for getting a drone waifu any time soon, the current day "AI" (Well marketed algorithms ) are kinda shit and prone to incest (look it up)
>>29591 Not talking about specific interpretations, but about the possibility. N has been shown to do evil on purely default settings, it's not improbable.
>>29583 I keep all my drawings in a single folder and also have a mental checklist of all of them. I have drawn Uzi and V before, but not N, in fact I've mostly drawn my OCs and barely anything regarding the canon cast. That Doill drawing also counts as the first time I technically drew Doll.
>>29595 Damn I see, no wonder humanity was ready to risk AS to get properly working drones. Maybe MD was just predicting the future all along >>29593 Sadly
>>29587 NTA but it's also literally possible thay Harold Holt might come strutting throughp downtown Bendigo tommorow telling everyonebthat he wasn't actually missing, he just lost track of time. So the raw odds favor it? No. Does any evidence we have suggest it's likely to happen? Not really. But technically, it COULD.
>>29611 But it makes perfect sense for it to happen within the context of the characters and surroundings, so why couldn't it? Hell by everything shown, it literally SHOULD happen.
SD-E Fun Fact: E went to track down the human worker responsible for programming the WDs after she was turned to a DD. Not to kill him, but smack him upside the head and give him a stern talking to about being lazy on the job, because it results in drones like her.
>>29634 >Cyn tail immediately turns Uzi into a bigger outcast than before >even her closest friends tend to avoid her nowadays, the only person who does stand by is N, and even he is getting kind of uncomfortable with the whole talking tail thing
>>29598 >>29599 That looks awesome, but you can't really tell us that this is all there will be to it, I mean, that would be a breach of the trust we put in you at this point, not to mention an extreme in disappointment.
>>29631 she wont last long before all the power and the solver with it gets to her head and being the admin of N and V, they wont be able to stop her either and the last drones on the last planet of the universe, they all on borrowed time
>>29650 > John spontaneously combusts > its a single column of fire that sweeps over him > black, covered in soot, coughs up a single smoke cloud > shakes his head > we go from normal vision to I-vision and see sad loser John turn into handsome chad John
>>29653 that was right after, wasn't it? it seems peoples opinions didn't quite solidify yet maybe worth another shot in a day or two after everything has really had tiome to settle
>>29669 Knock your doomer shit off right now. Alot of Anons are the /co/ thread currently, some are in /trash/ for god knows fucking why. And plus us writefags are still working shit out with the new episode
Honestly I'm gonna miss Cynwalker as a villain. She's so much fun! Hubris got to her in the end (which is perfectly suitable) but that works narratively AND she was just an overall fun villain from design down to animation. Really wish that she would pave the way more insane villains in the future, bad to the CORE and no redeeming stuff, just a force of nature that plays with its victims before winning or losing (honestly I'm not against bad endings as long as it's well-crafted, tragedies have been a staple of storytelling since the dawn of time and part of life as Strife). Her unnatural movement, the voice acting, everything just fucking works. She makes me feel many things at once!
>>29690 I've seen it a couple of times. It's appalling and embarrassing. Guy gives us kino and this is how some cunts think he should be treated. I don't doubt there are some bad actors who aren't actually interested in the show and is just stirring shit up as well.
>>29692 Just curious since, if I'm being honest, I don't know too many OCs and I'm just wanting to learn about more (to also potentially write greens of).
I came in pretty late to the Murder Drones threads.
>>29690 I checked for myself, it's worth mentioning how the post in question was deleted and that I can't find any other mention of it. Probably and hopefully bullshit >>29695 Wait fuck? For real or just people talking about it?
>>29696 Do not worry, you can ask and most of the time their creators or other Friends will answer questions about them, many times the Booru has greens and images that can help too.
>>29702 No, what you're doing is sounding like an edgy faggot that's contributing literally nothing, I can hear the fucking Lincoln Park music coming from you
>>29697 I checked the Nuzi tag yesterday. I'm not that interested in shipping, was just curious how things were now that the finale dropped. Yeah, I think some bad actors are on the loose, you'll see it.
>>29690 >>29695 >Make a show >People love it >End it >Underage tards attack you >Tell them to suck your dick >???? >"Hit Series Creator Solicits Children But yeah, people ol and irl have become too afraid to raise their voice.
>>29690 See, I'll call Liam's story into question more than I should for someone who's an average writer and never published anything, but this is retarded.
>>29726 A story about the Labor bots, set around the start of the Solver war. Basically them figuring out that something is wrong on the surface, and eventually having to leave the production lines to go on a pilgrimage across the war torn earth searching for safety. I was thinking about telling the story in the form of journal entries from a Labor bot, one who got inspired by her big sis to keep her own lorebook. But I don't really know how well the format would work, or if I'm capable of writing a good story that way.
>>29732(me) In addition, that particular image was a one-off for my amusement. It was never going to have a continuation. I'll get back to N and Jenny later.
>A drop pod lands near your house and J pops out >She flies up to you and rants about how she's finally found the mythical Anon that Cyn was obsessing over >Believing you to be the highest being possible, she pledges undying loyalty to you so she can be on the winningest team
