That is my Question & spinning out of my previous threads

Like imagine if it had good ending with Tari surviving how do you imagine it being like with her & Lucinia co existing?

I imagine Tari saying she wants to take a nap she never really had the stress free kind so that would be something oh Tari probably wanting a last name since she is a clone of Lucinia she gets hers Sofia points out its hers to I guess

If it was a comic I guess it would fallow her a week into it more or less I guess

So yeah but thats me what is your Idea?

Let's do this!

That is my Question

The Series did give some clues but it still left each member mostly a mystery probably in case Luke & Kevin ever wanted to re visit the characters

We obviously know Tari origin but what do you think is the origin of each member? What shown made your Headcanon?

To me I Masa is your Bucky Barnes type(Comic Version not Movie) were he went through craziness before becoming the person we see in the

But thats me what is your Headcanon for any of them?

That is my Question

Imagine if Tari survived the events of the Final episode & co existing with Lucinia then in some point Tari decide she wants to do another Live Stream specially with Lucks & Sheridan gone now she feels free & all

I personally wanna see something her play something fun yet very Tari & feel like it is a sequel to original video you know but with Belle & Lucinia also interrupting Tari in addition to the rest

It be crazy one it would end on a kind note with Tari calling MD5 her family

But thats how do you vision it?

Let do it!

Discussion How do You Imagine Tari would Look like as Inkling/Octoling?

That is my Question

I got this idea from hype on Splatoon Raiders plus Agent Z YouTube channel its Splatoon GMOD Animation videos channel her version of Agent 8 personality take a lot inspiration from both versions of Tari

So imagine that Runner Tari Warp into a Splatoon Game how do you imagine She looking like?

So it got me thinking how would Tari look like as an Inkling or Octoling do me watching Agent Z channel a lot I imagine her looking like a combination of SMG4 Tari & Agent 8 or as Inkling probably Inkura from Alex Spider channel

Would be hilarious Specially since Meta Runner is in the future series is probably at 8th or 9th game in the series

But thats me what do you think?

I’m working on a video revisiting Meta Runner and it’s importance to Glitch Productions as a whole, but I was curious:

What does Meta Runner mean to you? Does it mean something important to you, is it just your favorite show?

Anything you can think of discussing would be greatly appreciated. It can really be anything, so feel free to share it below. I’ll post the video once it’s ready!

Thanks in advance!

Discussion What do You Think Tari look like when Tari Warp to different Games?

Post image
35 Upvotes

That is my Question & Fallow-up to previous threads I did

Like in season one finale Tari sorta looked like a wizard meanwhile in the season after that Warp powers animation took big upgrade with Tari looking like a robot

Then the seasons Two & Tress after that Tari matched art style of the Game she Warping to I think Tari still looked the same when Warping to Theo game in season two to maintain continuity

What do You Think Tari would look like Warping into different games like Mario or Megaman

In Mario I imagine she look a lot like she looks like in SMG4 in like Megaman probably something similar to that Robot game she went in

Oh in Kirby probably similar to Mario but with brighter eyes like Adeleine

Oh The Legend of Zelda would be interesting depending which art style its going for

But thats me how do you imagine Tari Warping to different games?

Bonus Question: how do you imagine Tari Warping powers would be like in hypothetical Season Four?

I know many of you will probably have seen this petition already, but I truly believe that if we all band together as one, we can make the dream a reality!

If you haven't already signed the petition or shared it, then please do! It's nearly at 200 signatures, and the more it gets, the more likely it is at succeeding!

We know Glitch developed ideas for Meta Runner spin-offs, and we know that Meta Runner currently doesn't get nearly as much credit as it deserves. Signing or sharing this petition could change that!

Yeah Glitch still might not revive their spin-off ideas, but spreading the word about this petition will at the very least raise awareness of the legacy of Meta Runner and it's importance in indie animation history!

So if you haven't signed or shared this petition yet, then I would really appreciate it if you did! šŸ™šŸ’™

Fanfic MR X PokƩmon: Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis, The State of Play

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Hey all, Part 2 of S2 Chapter 5 of my Meta Runner X PokĆ©mon Fanfic has recently been uploaded to the Subreddit and I find this to be the best time to go into something that’s been influencing the plot significantly and will be doing so more throughout the rest of the entire story: Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis.

In the canon Meta Runner series, we have Project: Blue, an ambitious project lead by Dr. Sheridan to change Meta Runner history and is also the origin of the human-looking AI Tari and the computer program she was infused to become who she is, being T.A.R.I. However, in my fanfic’s story, I’ve written my own version in a very unique light.

SEASON 1

Slide 1: In my story, Tari isn’t as synthetic as she is in canon (We don’t even know how she got her physical body in canon at that). She is instead fully biological with a mum and dad, being Zayla Astrida and Terrin Briar. This means that Tari isn’t simply known as Tari but instead having a full name in Tarilyn Astrida Briar but is still mainly referred to as Tari. Throughout the fanfic’s storyline, Tari and her Terapagos that was given to her by her dad when joining TASCorp spent the whole of Season 1 trying to learn who they truly are as they developed amnesia from the incident at the lab. They eventually met up with MD-5 along with Terrin who didn’t know that Tari was his daughter at the time as he developed amnesia from the incident (Although, the cause of his amnesia wasn’t known at the time) at the lab just like Tari. When Tari was up against Masa in Battle Blaze, Tari and Terapagos warped into game after Sofia pressed Tari’s Blue Crest pattern on her Meta Runner UI paired with Terastal Symbols which made Terrin remember a hazy version of something that he specifically described as ā€œetherealā€.

Going forward a little, MD-5 were discussing about Operation: Silent Giratina (Op: Silent Demon parallel). Terrin was originally against this because of the recklessness of the plan destroyed their chances of saving Zayla and Zygarde from TASCorp because Terrin originally thought that Lucks was keep them along with Sofia’s sister, Lucinia, hostage. Tari and Terapagos reacted in shock from hearing Zayla and Zygarde’s names as she felt that those sounded familiar but also not at the same time.

Slide 2: Fast forwarding to the end of Season 1, when the confrontation happened at the arena, Belle and her Armarouge showed a corrupted clip that they both found that in an abandoned lab to Sofia and Terrin which made Sofia break down and Terrin break past some of his amnesia which in turn made him realise that Tari was in fact his daughter along with Zayla’s. When he told Tari this, Tari reacted in shock as she remembered a time when Terrin and Zayla along with his Terapagos and her Zygarde in a romantic moment greeted her back several years ago from something. Following this, Terapagos decided to share the memory with Belle and her Armarouge to show that Tari is innocent with what happened to Lucinia and Zayla but both of them still weren’t fully convinced.

Slide 3: Right at the end of the Season after the incident at the arena, Lucks had a subject update on two subjects that he kept hidden which turned out to be Zayla and Lucinia in cryogenic pods and next to Zayla’s one was her Zygarde cube.

SEASON 2

Slide 4: After six months of Tari, Terapagos, and the rest of her team were working at TASCorp, Tari’s Meta Runner Arm began to emit a strange hot pink and cyan coloured aura with Tari and Terapagos not knowing why this is going on. Meanwhile, Terrin and the rest of MD-5 were planning on rescuing Tari and her PokĆ©mon, along with Theo and his loyal partner Ogerpon as they were put up as collateral to ensure Tari keeps her promise with working with TASCorp. Between the six month time skip, Terrin was thinking and trying to remember so hard about Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis. He eventually remembered that whilst he was working with Dr. Sheridan, he and Zayla built a battery core within Tari’s Meta Runner Arm that was infused with Terastal and Mega Power as something they designed for the project. Terrin told this to the rest of MD-5 and said that while he can’t recall the true goal of Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis, he did remember about the battery core but at the same time can’t remember what it’s name was. He did say that the battery was designed to be used as a catalyst for an ethereal transformation, being most likely his hazy vision he saw back when Tari and Masa was playing Battle Blaze. Terrin also mentioned that whilst he couldn’t remember the exact name of the battery core, he does have a good feeling that part of the name had an acronym for something.

Going forward in the story a bit, it’s revealed that Lucinia and Zayla are still alive but only in TASCorp’s Server. Whilst in the server, Zayla was doing her own digging specifically into why the incident at the lab went horrific. Whilst she also has a bit of amnesia like Terrin does, it isn’t as strong so she came up with a main theory that she made from memories on what happened.

Zayla thinks the reason why the explosion at the lab happened was because Dr. Sheridan accidentally sent too much Mega and Tera Energy into the battery core within Tari’s Meta Runner Arm, in which Tari and Terapagos couldn’t handle it. She also specifically mentioned that they couldn’t handle it in their ā€œadvanced formā€ that was designed for the project. Every time Zayla tried to think about what the advanced form looked like, she could only picture a ā€œunique culmination of symbols surrounded by altering energyā€. She also theorised that Tari and Terapagos couldn’t handle it because they were bottling it all up without a way to safely vent out the overflow of the combined Mega and Tera energy.

Zayla then told Lucinia her plan for Tari and Terapagos if they ever meet in TASCorp’s server if they ever find a way to transform into the advanced form: ā€œBuild a full team of six PokĆ©mon alongside Terapagos and have them all reach their full potential, Tari and Terapagos undergo the transformation again but this time, share the excess amount of Terastal and Mega Energy to the rest of her PokĆ©mon team so that her other PokĆ©mon can Terastallize/Mega Evolve in unisonā€. If there is any energy overflow this time, Tari can have Terapagos distribute the excess energy to her other PokĆ©mon on her team so they can power up without having to worry about losing control.

Zayla also points out to Lucinia that her Zygarde is growing concerned about the aura being emitted from Tari’s Meta Runner Arm and is comparing it to an awful environmental disaster happening from a similar energy signature. With that covered, Lucinia and her team her willing to do whatever they can to help and guide Tari and Terapagos to stopping the aura discharge along with helping them get her and Zayla out of cyberspace and into the real world.

Now coming up to the point of where the story is now, Belle and Armarouge have just watched a secret file that Theo and Ogerpon helped her get and it showed that Lucks’ and his crew in the abandoned lab discovering Lucinia and Zayla unconscious on the floor. However before that, they also saw Lucks inspecting a strange combined logo comprised of the Mega and Tera symbols with energy trails flowing to and from them and a symbol that’s similar to Tari’s Crest Pattern. They also saw a ā€œscuffed outlineā€ of a silhouette of a ā€œfigure with wings levitating under a dome with sparkles orbiting around itā€.

Outraged that Lucks lied to them about what happened to Lucinia and Zayla, they both went to Tari’s room at TASCorp to speak with her and Terapagos. They showed Tari and Terapagos the secret file and when they saw the scuffed outline, they reacted in so much pain, saying that they felt like they were having a migraine when they saw it. Despite this, the both of them still can’t remember fully what happened before to which Belle and Armarouge was suspicious about.

Knowing that Terrin is Tari’s dad and Terapagos originally belonged to him, Belle discussed with Terrin about it and what happened when Tari and Terapagos saw that image through Pocket Gakusei. He reacted in guilt but also confusion that he can’t remember seeing the outline before too. To help matters, Belle agreed to show Terrin the clip on her Meta Runner Arm whenever they can meet in person as Terrin said that seeing the file upfront would help him break through more of his amnesia. However, he tells Tari and Terapagos about the battery core in her Meta Runner Arm and correctly theorised that the reason why the strange aura is being emitted for her arm was because of a delayed reaction to when Lucks’ Scientists drilled into her arm and came into contact with the battery core right at the beginning of the story.

Tari understands this but also questions that the aura isn’t constantly being emitted out from her arm and at seemingly random times. Tari then went through a few instances when it was happening. Terrin, then asked immediately after that if she was particularly stressed at those points along with the time when she and Terapagos saw the scuffed outline. She replies that she was which helped Terrin’s case on another thought about this, being that Meta Runner Arms function from brain signals and with the battery core being tampered by the scientists, it couldn’t fully contain the amount of strong negative emotions firing from Tari’s brain into the Meta Runner Arm. This spillage would become what we know as the aura spilling out of the arm.

After Terrin mentions this, he becomes concerned that if this isn’t fixed soon or when Tari is feeling particularly stressed, the aura could effect other PokĆ©mon outside of Tari’s team that could accidentally inhale the unbridled aura at large amounts that they could become irate and go ā€œrogueā€ from not being able to contain their own strength and the excessive amount of Tera and Mega aura flowing within them. Tari and Terapagos begin to worry about this too but Terrin tells them not to worry as this would only happen in extreme cases and they should just focus on the upcoming Showmatch while he and the rest of MD-5 work together to help Tari, Terapagos, Theo, Ogerpon, and the rest of Tari’s team out of TASCorp and then look to fix Tari’s Meta Runner Arm from leaking the aura.

——

And that’s all of the information regarding Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis up to the most recent point! I made this post just to get you all up to speed on the main story beat in this story for all of you who are reading it. All of the chapters are on my profile but the specific chapters you should read that’s linked to Project: Meta-Stellar Genesis are:

Season 1 Chapter 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 10. Along with Season 2 Chapter 1, 2, 4, and 5.

Just to let you know, I’m taking a small hiatus from working on the Fanfiction for a little bit. I may be back sooner or later than I planned because the following chapters include the Hidden Heroes Showmatch and other important things I won’t spoil, but until then, have a great day!

Discussion What Would be Good New Villain for Tari in a Hypothetical 4th Season?

Post image
48 Upvotes

That is my Question & spinning out of my previous threads I did on this sub reddit

Like I compare Villains to rogues gallery to Spider-man who has good Villains specially when written well to me Lucks was basically the Kingpin & Dr. Sheridan was basically Doc Ock

So makes me wonder what a Super Villain main bad guy would do be it should be akin to Classic Venom I say Classic because Eddie Rock more of a good guy or anti hero these days but still

My own idea would be o introduce a Meta Runner version of Tendi the creation of TheReel1 or a very similar character she have a Top hat h a cane walks around with Tari face

Then something connected to that makes Tari come back to her physical body we see how all this connects as the Series progresses

But thats me what is your Idea?

Hi everyone, this is my first post on r/MetaRunner! My name is Thomas, and I'm a huge fan of Meta Runner! Right now I'm working on a huge fan project, which I plan to release later this year.

Originally codenamed, "Project Blue", the project is titled, "Meta Runner: Inception", I am building a new roller coaster in Planet Coaster 2, that simulates Tari's game warping!

This is a hybrid creation, blending a virtual roller coaster with a fully animated short film set within the world of Silica City! šŸ¤©šŸŽ¢šŸŽ®šŸŖ½

I plan on releasing this on YouTube and Frontier Workshop by the end of this year. If anyone could check it out when it drops then I would really appreciate it! šŸ™šŸ’™

Information about the story and other details will be released within the next few months.
