@@PokeTube they are both tsunderes. In the manga they show signs of liking each other a LOT more than they say they do, in RS and ORAS they don’t fight each other brutally(instead they just repetitively tell each other that they hate each other), in the anime they don’t act as less than rivals, and in usum they just miss each other from their original universes.
Entire script: *Archie is trying to sneak past Maxie.* Maxie: "We need to talk." Archie: "Ugh... What is it, Maxie?" *Archie makes a demonic noise.* Maxie: "I don't wanna fight you anymore." Archie: "Oh really? Maybe it's because you're so tired of losing to..." *Archie strikes a pose.* "... This!" Disembodied Voices: "So sexy!" Maxie: "... No." *Archies arms deflate as the word "Sexy" falls off the screen.* Maxie: "I don't want to be seen with you looking like that." Archie: "Why don't you love me, Maxie-Senpai?" *Archie and Maxie both become anime characters. Archie flails his arms around while blowing a raspberry.* Maxie: "Because you're stupid." *There is a pause.* "And water is stupid." *Archie gasps. There is an extreme close-up of his mouth.* "Oh no you didn't-" *Both return to normal. Archie is holding a water bottle with light shining on it.* Archie: "Water is the best thing since sliced..." *His eyes dart back and forth.* "... Jesus." *A golden Jesus briefly appears on screen, accompanied by an angelic choir.* Maxie: "... I hate you." *They suddenly teleport to Team Aqua's base. Maxie is standing on a rock, looking back and forth confused. He then sighs as Archie holds a Poké Ball up in the air.* Archie: "Mighty Kyogre... Get him." *Kyogre jumps out of the sea and squashes Maxie.* *The End.*
I remember watching this when ORAS first dropped and to this day I still quote 'best thing since sliced...jesus' at least once a week. Easily my favorite pokemon animation ever.
SuperBrankman You're welcome! ^_^ "Shipped" as in past tense? You don't ship them now? ;^; Granted I guess I couldn't blame you if you don't. They had very minimal importance in the actual game and didn't really do anything bad, per se. They did a complete 180 by the end of their arc, which is fine, I guess, but they really weren't much of a threat. Can't really call them villains. :/ Both sides had the (what I like to call) "X-Men syndrome", where they had opposing views on how to better the world by achieving a level of coexistence. In this case, with humans and Pokemon. So, in essence, they weren't really "bad"... just kinda backwards in their approach and tactics.
SuperBrankman Noice! Also, I'm both loving and hating you so much right now, cuz even though I only found this vid a couple of days ago, I think I've watched it a dozen or so times. ;P It's just too damn funny and well animated. So yeah, there's a nice stroke to your ego, if you have one, lol. ^^ Btw, I saw your other vids and noted that you're attending animation classes. Are you gonna major in animation?
A dozen? Seriously? Holy crap, you should stop! You might lose brain cells watching my videos!!!! I don't actually have that much of an ego, but I like to pretend I do as a joke. I'm generally pretty introverted, but it's really fun pretending to be a douche who is in love with himself. And I am actually majoring in animation now. I'm in my second year of college and I study traditional animation. I'm learning a lot there, BUT I NEED TO GET SOOOO MUCH BETTER! I honestly can't watch this video anymore because I'm too embarrassed.
Love this video so much. It is so funny. My favorite part is "water is the best thing since sliced...Jesus" I also love Maxie's reaction when he's stuck on the little island. I'm also an animation major, but I have no clue how to even do any of this cause I'm justing starting my first year.
Hey, don't even sweat it. I did this at the end of my first year, so I'm sure you'll be able to do it too! And sorry I took literally 10 months to respond.
This is the best thing I've ever watched! The Sliced Jesus part cracked me up! XD And I can totally picture Maxie and Archie having a conversation like this.
Nah, Archie isn't Batman - he's Sharkboy. And Maxie is Lavagirl... boy... whatever. They live on Planet Hoenn and were created by two kids named Brendan and May. (sorry, I had to write this)
over a year after this was posted, I still find myself back here... I quote this video in class, I dream about this video.. I write fan fiction about Archie as Mako and Maxie as Gamagoori... There is no hope for me.. save yourselves...
This video is the best thing since sliced... Jesus. Because I can mimick Maxie's voice to a tee, my friends have me quote this video all the time, and it's always a blast to do. Also, one of my ultimate favorite videos online. Maxie senpai loves.
This makes me realize that somewhere in my house I lost my Alpha Sapphire and if I find it I'm going to suck a LOT because I always choose the Fire Type
0:22 That brought back my memories of me playing Sapphire(or was it Ruby that Archie appeared in? Or was it both?) when I was little. I remember my first thought when I saw Archie was "Holy crap, he's ugly." XD
How many of you actually picked up your water bottle and drank from it when Archie said: "Water... is the best thing since sliced Jesus?" I know I did. :)
