Soooo let's recap: Nathan is the dad Pickles is the mom Murder face is the oldest Skwisgar is the middle child And toki is the youngest Magnus is the uncle they don't talk to And Charles is their robot.
@@lukatesseract I'd disagree; I'd say Skwisgaar is the eldest brother in that he is the 'coolest' and gets annoyed with copycat younger brother Toki, but is still protective over him and overtly hostile/upset at the idea of Toki leaving or dying. Murderface is the bastard uncle of the group, close but distant, gets into all sorts of mischief and has too many bad ideas that he only really expresses when he thinks Nathan isn't going to slap them down
@@lukatesseract It's interesting how you forget about it after seeing him Dad. But like most fathers he has a deep terror within him at the threat of his children.
The little moment where Pickles passes the snowglobe to Nathan behind Nathan's back after he gives him the silent cue is my favourite little detail here. Bless them, they wanted it to be a surprise gift. Plus, despite badmouthing him at the start, one word about Magnus being around Toki and suddenly OG Dethklok go full protective family mode and even Murderface has his 'not on my watch' face on
Yeah! Nathan's hair in face glowering has nothing on the other three's barely supressed anger smoldering beneath the surface. Of the four I would be more terrified of what Pickles is capable of in a sobered state of lucid anger. Murderface wouldn't be a slouch in an assbeating even though he talks more shit than acts on it. I think the ancestral Fury of the Norseman pretty much speaks for itself with Skwisgaar's "i'm holding back for a sec, lucky you" facial expression. Don't fuck with our bandmate, he's ours to fuck with.
There is a lot of detail in this show. Most shows would just have it randomly pop up out of nowhere. Even the animation for when they play is completely accurate. Those kinds of details are truly impressive
I like that Pickles and Nathan are both so offended at being called responsible that they tell Charles to go fuck himself... and yet they pretty much immediately and very naturally fall into the role of parental figures lol. I also love how Charles just says "Alright!" so unbothered when Nathan tells him "Fuck you!"
This is my favorite episode, not just because of the family dynamics, or even Toki being a sweetheart, but the ending is one of Nathan’s most dangerous sounding scenes. Just the calm “Awe shit, little kid,” alone is so menacing, and the rest of his lines just make it so much darker.
This is one of my favorite episodes. Pickles would be a great father considering he knows how not to parent thanks to his horrible parents. With Nathan I worry about what would happen to the other children or their parents if they picked on his kid.
@@db9944Late comment, but I feel that Nathan’s daughter would be so fucking metal, that all he could do is laugh in abject sympathy for the man who dared break her heart.
Hhh this episode is so sweet and so painful (just cuz of Magnus). Thank you so much for making these vids! guess it's time to find the Metalocalypse folder on my pc and let the nostalgia kick in.
God I know, I love Magnus as a character so much. There was that part in the Doomstar Requiem where he was sadly looking at a picture of Dethklok when he was still a member, and in all honesty, my heart kind of broke for him.
Nathan is Dad, Pickles is Mom, Skwisgaar is the cool older brother, Toki is the adoring/annoying younger brother (depending on how Skwisgaar feels at any given moment), and Murderface is the troublemaking uncle that's not allowed at the nicer family events anymore
I never noticed until now, but Nathan doesn't have the snowglobe on him, Pickles hands it to him! Which means they talked about it and they both decided to surprise Toki with this gift. I love these lil details 🫶
Because it's yet another way that he needs to be taken care of. For some reason that I still haven't figured out, us straight ladies find that kind of thing very attractive.
Unrelated to the rest of the video but that bit at the end when the four of them are lined up next to each other the colour difference in their hair is giving me sentai vibes with Skwisgar and Pickles bright yellow and red and then Nathan and Murderface black and brown.
