And They Are Beautiful - TAZ Amnesty Animatic - Ep 28 

I feel ya man I really do I’m sorta new as well

What about the line: "And then Magnus Rushes in." At the end of TAZ Balance.

@@Blitzwaffen That moment was beautiful but it didn't carry the same weight, it wasn't like Magnus died in a horrific battle or anything like they thought he would, he just died of old age and was able to reunite with his lost love, that was a moment of joy. This how ever was a moment of absolute sorrow and loss, we never wanted anything bad to happen to Ned Chicane but he put his life on the line in a moment of sacrifice and lost his life in the process, nobody wanted to see him hurt or killed even Aubrey after she found out the truth but we all were shown the loss everybody felt and we felt for this once great man brought low and that will always bring out a greater emotion than we had when Magnus rushed in.

The Adventure Zone is the only podcast so far that has actually made me cry quite hard multiple times. For me, it was the line "I'm heading out for parts unknown" that really got me during that scene, especially upon re-listening. Even though Ned certainly meant it as he's leaving Kepler, the double meaning makes it particularly painful. The fact that Ned is played by the McElroy's father really doesn't help either.

it took me far too long to realise that this middle name is a pun too. 'Ned Kelly,' was a well-known Australian outlaw.

For me, I think it was as soon as Griffin said Ned had to make a hard choice. Because to me it was a clear "either you or Dana dies here"

Go sit in the corner :(

He left this world something precious to Aubrey

I am so sincerely sorry for you, I found this on my own so I didn't have anyone who knew about this and that was hard on its own but you had friends who knew about this event and didn't say anything to you and I can only imagine how much harder that would be for you

Same here buddy, except my friend said oh yeah he's epic before torturing me with this sacred episode 28 that she kept telling me was gonna make me cry... She was right, but hey I deserved it I've done pretty much the same to her

@@josiahnunley2910 OOF. But accurate.

I dont think it was from snow to archway, I think it was snow to Amnesty Lodge, since Ned was talking about how her actions, no matter how small, have consequences.

Turi Drowned Either way, that shit HURTED.

What makes me sad is that i don't think Ned's actual name was ever shared. It was implied multiple times that he's never shared his real name. But Edmund Kelly Chicane is who he became.

Working my way through Amnesty now and him dropping his actual middle name was the second I knew they were actually going through with this. Fuck.

@@JonathanPayson His fate was sealed. In Monster of the Week, if you burn all your luck points, you have nothing left to save you when things get bad, as they inevitably do. The fact he was able to save so many in that moment is by far the kindest end I've ever seen to someone who lost all their luck.

@@Blitzwaffen this thing is, on his death, Ned still had quite a few luck points to spend. But this ending is (imo) better because he gave his life to save Dani. It's honestly such an amazing moment of Amnesty I can't imagine how the arc would go if it hadn't played out this way

@@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123 are you sure that he had luck points left? I could have sworn when they were doing the lead in right before this the game before they did the individuals he had burned his last luck point and there was even a small side comment between him and the game master that said ooh that's not good.

gaberockmain you ever think about how Aubrey will spend the rest of her life knowing that the last words she ever spoke to Ned made him think she hated him? Because I do.

Witty Username :(((((((((((((((((((

You ever think about how Ned died thinking he was irredeemable?

you ever think about how Ned died?

I think about how you are given the option in game to bring a player back to life and they didn't for Ned.

*Fuck. You.* ; - ;

Some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying.

Your comment made me realize that Ned's death in a way is all three of the "exits" Griffin talks about. It's beautiful, poetic and satisfying to the audience because we get this scene. It's abrupt and unfair to Aubrey, who tells Ned to leave only to regret that anger not long after. And it's unremarkable to Duck, who just went off to the telescope. I don't even remember what their last conversation was like.

@@TheDannoh403 Now that you mention it, I think the last time Duck saw him was when Mama sent Ned upstairs to go get her laptop, and he just... never came back...

There’s nothing like the emotional whiplash from going between TAZ animatics. “Haha, magic brian was such a great character!” To “DEAR GOD EVERYONE I LOVE IS DEAD”

His hair has to have a duck-ass of some kind.

Personal loss is really good narrative fodder. Their family understands the pain that comes with loss and as a collective can really tap into those emotions and since they are dramatically inclined (theater and radio) they can effectively communicate feelings and tell a good story. I think about this a lot when listening to TAZ and it makes the story oh so much better. I agree... WHY do this to us?! it's so good

Interesting, I thought she was just feral in that moment.

@@cartoonking1789 She could have been both. I don't personally think she was literally feral like an animal. But I think that's a part that is up for debate.

HeyItsDingo Pretty sure the shapeshifter kidnapped her, and starved her so they she would attack the townspeople so they would be riled enough to storm the gate. She was missing most of the last chapter.

@@turidrowned She could have been gone for much longer than that, it takes quite a while for a sylph to go feral and the shapeshifter already knew about Dani's form when it was introduced and it was from the shapeshifter that Aubrey got the book to give to Janelle.

It's been a few years since I listened so I can't recall all the details but, yeah. When Ned was investigating (an abandoned building?) by himself, he finds a large box (sarcophagus) with a figure inside that he can't make out who it is. He runs away without trying to unlock the box though, (because the monster was coming?) The figure in the box was Dani. That always stuck with me because, from a narrative standpoint, that situation was in a way, Ned's fault. If he had tried to help the figure in the box instead of running away immediately he might have rescued Dani before she went feral and the monster wouldn't have been able to use her to trigger the war. Obviously from a mechanics perspective, I know that Clint had used all of Ned's luck points so he would have either left or died some other way regardless. But I always imagine Ned seeing the box and realizing it was the same one from before, and then realizing it had been DANI that he had left trapped in that building with the monster. It gives his choice to take the bullet extra weight because he would have realized that the only reason Dani was here now, about to be killed, was because he had abandoned her back then. Because he had chosen to save himself and run away. Again. This is the best way that Ned could have died, he chose to not run away for once, something he despises himself for doing. He saved someone Aubrey loved, instead of killing someone she loved. And dying the way he did is one of the few things that could have gotten the humans to stop long enough to question the validity of what they were doing. He probably saved more than one person that night. @@turidrowned

Rowan Agnew true facts

I have had legitimately the worst day today and knowing that you'd do me the great honor subscribing despite it breaking ye holy 420 genuinely warmed my heart. Thank you :>

@@ksanzo I am glad that my comment had made your day even a little bit better. You are an amazing artist and I hope that I can get my skills as good as yours.
