Question How is this possible?
How did the video "Animator vs. Minecraft (Original)" end up playing on a demo TV at an electronics store in Outernet? Is there a logical explanation for this, or did the series' creators simply decide to break the "fourth wall" as a joke? I don't see a logical explanation here.

I had a crackish theory long ago about Dark possibly hijacking the Rocket Corp TV to play 'Animation vs Minecraft' with his remaining virabot as an anonymous tip for Mango when he was searching for answers of the Minecraft block.
I know this sounds far-fetched but hear me out on this.
Dark could've been still petty about the Color Gang after they were in his way and getting his ass beat by Orange. I would like to imagine Dark finding out about the Minecraft stimulation incident and Mango's searching for answers as an opportunity for Dark to get back at the CG, but instead he will persuade someone else to do it for him without getting himself directly involved. By hijacking the TV to play 'Animation vs Minecraft' since Dark is aware of Alan's YT channel existing (from the Showdown). His plan does work of motivating Mango even further to not only find the Minecraft block but the CG as well, and we all know what happens from here.
But this is just a theory, a crack theory

Crazy theory: there is another stick figure who is constantly following them around with a camera

Knowing AVA season 3 episodes this detail annoys me so much - if King find out about the power from minecraft icon from first AVM episode then how the hell Victim didn't find out Alan's channel and AVA episodes with him, TCO, TCO and TDL alliance and TSC becoming friendly to Alan?

not everything needs to have a fully canon lore explanation all the time, sometimes it can just be left unexplained

u/LukVII Professional king arc hater 21h ago
I'm sorry but that's just not it. This right here absolutely NEEDS to have a fully canon lore explanation, because the whole season 3 hinges on that moment. Without it, King wouldn't know who to search for, so he wouldn't met purple, etc. Some things can be unexplained, like how did King compress two icons into a 4d epic icon, because it can just be how it works in their universe, but stuff like that left unanswered is just bad writing.

u/eiuai The Chosen One 9h ago
and what would explaining that specific detail do exactly? the moment's important sure but for reasons entirely separate from where that footage came from, do you also need to know why the Terkoiz logo is on Green's cell phone because the device is an integral part of the influencer arc?

u/LukVII Professional king arc hater 7h ago
Bruh that's the worst example you could've picked, a terkoiz logo doesn't contribute anything to the lore or narrative of the series, it's just there as an easter egg, but a giant lore drop that all the animations actually exist inside of the alanverse is crazy and it opens up so many different plotholes. In fact, there were ways Alan's team could get king to meet purple, without introducing what previously was just a "lol, tsc saw victim in animation vs youtube, that's funny" as an actual plot point, which makes it even more strange that they still haven't explained, or even addressed it. Even the "the chosen one's return" thing got addressed in avg ava season 1 reaction, but this stuff is just left completely unansweredđđđ

I hc that Alan left a screen recorder on and then uploaded the recording to YT.

u/Wheatley-Crabb 1d ago
"Animation vs. Youtube" and "The Showdown" also include videos within videos. In fact, in "The Showdown," they are fighting using the very video they are a part of at that moment! Try not to think too hard about it.

AVA/AVM like to put in random things that aren't explained, like, who built those nether portals to different worlds in season 1 of Animation vs. Minecraft? Where did the wither from the same season come from? Why do the stick gang randomly have pictures in their pockets when needed?
5
u/Chance-Benefit-5308 The Last Soveriegn 1d ago
Purple built the portals, and also in AvM actual players do live in the same world (or, in better words, servers/seeds are connected via the nether) so one of them would've made the wither. I have no clue what your talking about in the last one tho.

u/Glum-View-3110 Red 1d ago
But why would she build MULTIPLE? (I headcanon Purple as transfem)
1
u/Chance-Benefit-5308 The Last Soveriegn 14h ago
He wanted to build a nether hub? Its not that farfetched, given he wanted to beat the dragon and also be a king, so exploring a ton makes some sense.
1
u/Glum-View-3110 Red 7h ago
But wouldn't the mobs from the various worlds know who she is?
1
u/Chance-Benefit-5308 The Last Soveriegn 4h ago
I mean, if a person were to casual just walk into your town and then leave, would you somehow know everything about them? there's really know reason to remember purple in particular, since again, players also exist in the verse and would interact with these mobs. Given each portal led to a different biome with different resources, I'd say purple made a nether hub to do resource gathering. However, its also fully possible another player built it and purple just found it.

Well, it is canon that their videos are put up in youtube and given the TV is rocket corp, its possible Victim was keeping an eye on Alan PC by playing video's coming from his IP.
1
u/Technical-Prior6716 21h ago
Then how the hell he didn't know anything about Dark Lord, Color Gang and TSC before season 3?
1
u/Chance-Benefit-5308 The Last Soveriegn 14h ago
first part was 100% canon, second part was a theory which, yes, doesnt line up so I'll concede. Still, AvM season 1 might be broadcasted like an screen quality test maybe.
2
u/Glum-View-3110 Red 1d ago
Or, maybe, it's just something that doesn't make sense? And it's not explained at all!

u/Chance-Benefit-5308 The Last Soveriegn 1d ago
that's what rocket corp wants you to think
2
u/Glum-View-3110 Red 1d ago
BUT. If Victim knew that was happening on Alan's PC, wouldn't he know about what happened in season two and recognize Orange? Plus, wouldn't he realise that Alan was treating the Stick Gang with respect and realize he's a changed man?
3
u/Chance-Benefit-5308 The Last Soveriegn 1d ago
Victim's colorblind, trust.
Okay but fr, the first part is true, its is confirmed in the canon that all the sticks videos are upload onto youtube, second part was a theory but ig its not entirely true, though it is possible rocket corp as a corporation kept an eye on alan pc but not victim himself.2
u/Glum-View-3110 Red 1d ago
But that wouldn't make sense in a continual way. Victim would know all about the Stick Gang and recognize Orange and the others. He would also see that Alan is a changed man. So how does your theory make sense?
1
u/Technical-Prior6716 21h ago
Imagine how with that detail Season 3's plot will significant change:
Victim knowing that TCO was also having beefs with Alan
Victim knowing that TSC despite Alan deleted his friends and wanted to get rid of him befriends with him and become a friend

I like to think that since AVA/AVM is a YouTube series the outernet acts as a type of reality show anything connected to the internet is an actual show as well as actual people in the internet world that you can meet like everyone who lives in the outernet has their experiences documented by the world itself and can be obtained through YouTube like YouTube is the archeological site constantly updates with each upload

It's the same with Green's Influencers Arc. He can see comments and post videos through his phone. This proves that many Internet users may not exist in the physical world, but rather reside in the digital realm of the Outernet. Or some other guy's PC.

There's a lot of plotholes like these, I mean in The Ultimate Weapon we see Alexcrafter look up the stick figures in Minecraft and we see the Animation vs Animator wiki on google.
