Transcripts

hey y'all an official here and

i want to talk about something that

makes me a little uncomfortable here and

there

and that is the entire pilot series

yes these were the first videos

i've ever created for a milky way in the

gospels animated series

and it's not too bad i mean i i like

i praise these because it created an

animated series for the show

that was supposed to happen when 10

years ago

it and and yeah i

i think it's fairly good but i really

feel uncomfortable now

now that i got an actual new episode of

not so artistic makes this entire pilot

series look

trash and i'm going to tell you why i

think it looks trash

i was new to the animating industry for

this kind of thing

like basically the theme song is just

clickbait you think oh wow

look at this sick animation

yeah this is going to be the most epic

cartoon i've ever seen in my entire life

are the spongebob squarepants

better than fairly odd parents invaders

in etcetera

and then and then we get to the to this

why does this exist this is stupid

uh how do i

so the thing the point of this pilot

series was

ideas thrown out there for an actual

show

the all of these episodes are ideas i've

given

for an actual show to happen

but of course that will probably not

happen officially

at least some fan will probably pick it

up wait

didn't i do that did i do that

so it makes me uncomfortable because

well

i mean the text boxes first of all but i

didn't have a cast at the time so i

didn't really have a choice

but a lot of the episodes just had

really weird plots this first one

jupiter's protest i actually like this

one

i like the plot that jupiter is trying

to save her tree but then she starts

getting out of character

i'm like like she starts threatening

uh starts lying to everybody

like i don't know that's not what the

real jupiter would do

not not not the planet let's be confused

with our planet

but that's not what you'd do in the

series

and i'm just trying to think of things

here

i was less experienced with the series

back then than i am now

now that it's may 2021 i've been almost

um

a year as a fan i i didn't really

i i didn't really know too much back

then well or haven't really gotten the

ideas down but now

that it's almost been a year i fully

know this series

i know everything about it and i have

the personalities

perfectly and maybe some of my own

traits thrown in there like

neptune being a little bit of a dunce

so

i mean it's got it's got its good things

like um

so yeah this one was a good episode it's

a good way to start the series off

um it could be changed the second one

saturn shuffles

was trash i do not like this one

it makes no sense first off saturn would

not

steal a book from the library like

what's the point of stealing a book from

the library

tell the the debut it's also the debut

of this space yes i i will always be

bringing this face back so expect space

to appear a lot more in the future

i i just think it's funny for whatever

reason i i used this one time and i just

i just couldn't stop i made an entire

episode based on that

uh yep

uh and there were many weird faces of

this

i i i feel very weirded out by most

these weird faces

this is silly okay uh

this next one super mars this one's a

pretty good one too like

mars being a superhero she probably

would act like this coming to think of

it but there was many disturbing moments

in the series like this one

i i'd rather forget this creepy face

oh yeah it was also the beautiful vocals

and like even though they're just sound

effects it's the first time the galaxy

girls made feminine sounds

and that really satisfies me

what is oh yeah i forgot about this

my friend uh he wanted me to give him a

cameo so i did that

he's at 97 dollars it's a sonic rubber

blaster card thing you'll have to ask

him

hey luigi so what else is there

um this one fine

innovation humiliation now the earnest

episodes are probably

some of the worst ones

it just first off virgo was never shown

changing the grade on screen

second of all uranus is supposed to

know everything right off the bat like

she should know what's going on every

time in this case she doesn't

she should have been questioning how she

got an effort this makes absolutely no

sense somebody

edited my grades i am the smartest

student in school

instead uranus thinks she actually got

an f and i think that's really

bland

it makes it's just weird it's just

oh yeah i still fan art too i'm never

doing that again

the the artists have everybody to get

mad at me for this

every time i'm using fan art it will be

approved it will be on the discord

server

what else is okay i've said that a

billion times

because i didn't want saturn's shuffle

to be canon there's a flashback and this

one that

that goes shattered straw flips so there

is a flashback of sour chocolate so this

one cannot

you cannot either here's another decent

one

doctor who it was all right i mean uh

it felt the fuzzy appearance of this

infamous face

um and

um about scene uh

what else is there oh yeah there was

there was a funny one

why is my opinion suddenly changing

that's us

i had so many negative feelings until i

made this video bro

a friend of mine said that as soon as

she opened her mouth he got a discord

ping so

it was like right when she opened the

mouse

stewie said to be a rubert that that

that should not be there

and there was also a mistake here if you

look closely milky's legs are kind of

broken you'd have to

see a cleaner picture just notice the

glitch

at least um

this why it is why doesn't if we have a

picture of her in a bikini on the wall

oh

uh okay next one oh don't make milky

this one surprisingly has

a top views like

this is one of the most viewed episodes

it's not even an episode it's just a

short

i thought this one didn't make any sense

here it didn't make sense she was the

the scene was because she she's dreaming

of being in a funeral with one of her

friends

dying and the tv is where

um is where the uh where the dead body

would be

like where the casket is

she doesn't hear the cat music

i thought that would make me confuse a

lot of people so that's just

what i thought of

um

who goes to a person's house and waves

their foot in their face while they're

sleeping

jupiter moon that's and it's basically a

piranha plant

and that was the i like your scream

and this is the very famous card scene

uh

the sun like notices i just goes back to

sleep

um close should have been burned but in

i wasn't thinking of that

i can't believe milky way survived this

and doesn't even realize she almost died

oh okay okay this is the worst episode

of the series like

by far the worst through saturn's

shoplift this is easily the worst

first off they can fly so why are they

driving a car

second of all why did they just

they end up in a forest and they just

stay there like

they they got nothing they can fly

well yeah they could fly in the series

so they could just fly out of this

forest no problem

so oh in my mouth

uh i don't know this one this one felt

disturbing to watch especially the scene

apple yeah i i thought that it was very

disturbing

spongebob it's a high-pitched spongebob

audio i

i did that many times

and same with this uh metal

metal gears yeah

no oh yeah

every time neptune's face is zoomed in

up close making that neutral face i

can't help but laugh

um this is again it

it's an episode that really wouldn't

make sense if it was if it aired

i stole battle for dream island cake

because it's just it's like

it's completely ridiculous and messed up

episode

darren's new job it may be the longest

but

there's one problem with this and that

is no matter where you go in the video

you can stop anywhere in the video

and you get this face like

it's literally not that hard

to uh

get the space okay i lied

it it's actually twice as far actually

it's very hard i

i actually thought it would be much

easier

and there are it's very overused in this

episode

and this one she doesn't have her

earrings

or nose ring for the scene which is an

error

the the main reason that this makes me

comfortable with the xboxes

uh cancer doesn't make any sense

he doesn't have anything on him to prove

that he he can drop down a business

so he basically just made saturn totally

gullible

it it it's a very weird episode in my

opinion

i i do not like cancer in this episode

because he makes absolutely no sense

you can regret a project just a couple

months later after creation

how about that this is probably the best

episode

this one at least makes sense it defines

mercury and jupiter's characters quite

well

it's not a powerpuff girls episode if

correct

if anyone's seen that one where

buttercup went through the sensei

because she literally had that

aggressive

mood on her and she beat up fuzzy and

and then she got he came to a sensei to

calm down

that that's what this episode is based

on i forget the name of it but i'm sure

you guys remember it

if any of you watch the powerpuff girls

i'll bring up the 2016 or live action

reboots um

stupid stupid stupid

not loading buffering

laughing by stupid wi-fi

i literally regret using rainbow dash

for

mercury i thought it'd be a great idea

but now that i actually done it i regret

it

same with mars using bubbles voice

but they're they're not too bothersome

that's the that's the voices i was

trying to get them but

when my voice cast came they thought of

other things which is just as

acceptable i like that too it's also

more original

my idea was not

let me just cut to the good parts

violence resolves nothing it should be

an internet meme for whatever reason

like they should literally just have

that picture of jupiter there and then

they put in their own text

that would be hilarious

the return of this face

[Music]

oh yeah i forgot about this face mercury

making this face is extremely

cringy

oh no no way worse than food wars come

to think of it like that slack

first off romeo and juliet don't

actually appear

they're just constantly mentioned

throughout throughout the uh

throughout the episode and second of all

this was all a dream

which is better because if it actually

happened

this this would totally ruin your

character

we all get those weird dreams and this

is uranus's weird dream

that i really like in here it's this is

this part

i like how that turned out and that was

probably the best part

this is why neptune is one of the

greatest characters

um

let's tell i hate this episode for

burning yours character

and yeah oh the christmas special the

christmas special was great

i'm gonna tell you all that i love this

one

and only because it makes a lot of sense

well i mean yeah if anyone's the jerk it

would probably be mercury but

in the real series they probably also

would have probably done it differently

not make mercury a big jerk like i did

that's changing in the new series she's

gonna be a lot more nicer

i i didn't i i regret making her a jerk

now this story just is wonderful like

mercury doesn't like what mars

gave her and she gets mad about it

it

and then it's haunted by the three

spirits

that three three ghosts a best present

and yet to come

and just like in a christmas carol love

that story

and i love the many parodies of it like

people have been parrying the story a

lot

i did it too like mercury went to school

had a lonely childhood

and it also also gave her the

the liking of speed just by watching tv

that's probably not i'm probably gonna

what's the word

um retconned this and have her come

up with her liking of speed a different

way if you don't know what reconning

means it means changing the story

changing up

something that happened in the past and

a new episode like one episode

has a different past compared to the

other which they

apparently happened it when it doesn't

make sense is what i'm trying to say

spongebob does this a lot

i don't know let's look up right on i

can't explain it here's the present

it was also a ball of joy until until

mercury makes her mad

and yet to come which is probably a

comment yet the scariest one

i like mercury at the window right here

except this crying scene was very

disturbing uh

the ending was really heartwarming yeah

this is my custom idea but

like if the episode was actually

produced this is my idea but now that i

actually got a castle

and the shares are supposed to be songs

in it they're supposed to be singing

so when i want to remake this again

it will definitely have a song open can

sing

well i hope bianca can sing because they

voice

my two favorite characters

which are these two i might impress

it with saturn's episodes because these

two are by far my favorite characters

i mean do you think that fuss would

actually use this kind of face on saturn

this was incredibly lazy that was very

lazily done now it was in the middle of

night i was trying to get this out on

christmas

as a little christmas gift merry

christmas

this was recycled from episode 8 and it

is poorly traced

oh this was entirely recycled from

episode 8

which is very lazy

i like how the music is better though

that was the story in the actual episode

like they actually form a column and

finds the fragment

this next one it's not bad

in fact this is how this is how pluto's

actors got the role

she dubbed this episode in pluto's voice

so moving on someday i can't believe it

took up to the end to get a pluto

episode like i haven't had a pluto

episode in a while because

pluto performs the rock guitar and i i

just i don't know i

i was really short on song ideas back

then i couldn't really make songs

because i didn't have a cast so pluto

didn't get to have her own episode at

the time

but until now the sun also never got her

own episode for that reason

i'll probably give someone an episode

now

series and will no longer smile like

this she will go all mandy like

in the future

moon makes a really disturbing face um

all right that let's find out okay in

this last

one which is a episode mercury goes back

into her jerk character

just after the christmas special

i almost i almost got pluto to say

mercury who at the end of the episode

but i didn't want that because

of the christmas special because it was

a scene where if mercury doesn't turn

good she'll disappear forever

i i just i don't know

trying to keep mercury alive

oh yeah to make up for the fact that sun

didn't ever one episode i made her the

scorekeeper

she makes a good um she's a good host

and there was a very bad joke in this

i after watching madagascar 3 i thought

afros

were just fake hair they're actually

real

so this is this isn't real her hair is

real

damn it muddy gas card free why are you

gonna do that to me

and uh that about sums up my opinion of

the pilot series

it sucks but it's funny moments

and uh what did i do differently

in this new episode well first off i i i

took more time into it this episode prom

video

took a lot more of the time than

expected i thought it would only take a

single week to make

it didn't it took it took

two months still a short amount of time

to produce a cartoon but

i i'll figure this out

i love now they all have voices

the intro's still there i i criticize

how

it's only the main five and not the

others

everybody should be on that intro and

this was just the better intro in my

opinion

and i don't favor the jibby's it's also

got a good storyline too

like mars is upset

so her friends tried to cheer her up

there's one thing that i don't like

about the episode is the fact that

well if she's already happy and i make

her go out and do fun stuff to get it

off her mind

if it's already off her mind i didn't

really think about that when i was

producing the storyboard

but but the scenes all those scenes are

pretty fun to watch anyway so

it still it still fills in the gap

i don't think i should use that right

but

it's it's much better

yes that is me that is me talking

i'm already annoyed at this episode

because i had to watch it like 20

billion times

to make sure that everything goes along

well and i don't even feel part of the

audience anymore

i i i produced this i i wish to be part

of the audience but

i actually have to manage the series now

i did this so uh i i did this or

everybody in this fandom would just be

happy now

we're we're tired of this we're getting

a cartoon even if it's fan made

and it's also humorous it i watched

bianca's reaction and she laughed

several times

that's what i was going for comedy

and it turned out to be pretty well at

the end

the final result turned out really well

maybe the ending could have been better

but it's all right

there's a second episode of the works

right i haven't worked on in a while

because i'm stuck on this one scene i

have to discuss

with because i didn't write the script

for the second episode i

um someone else wrote it and i have to

discuss

with her about about the script a little

because i'm stuck on it

but who cares right now because there's

a second episode of the works

i'm hoping that it takes less time than

the first episode

without becoming a lazy project

and i love what's running out so far um

i don't think i'll be posting any

previews for it because i want

i want people to you know not know

what's going to happen

like they're going to watch the whole

episode without knowing what's going to

happen

i was thinking about doing that instead

where as this one i put

two sneak peeks in because i was really

excited to show off my new style

well okay so this video is much longer

so i'm gonna wrap it up

so i'm gonna see you guys next time
