It is not that confusing when you watch it all in one row, you know? One of the reasons people couldn't understand the plot immediately is because from one episode to another too much time has passed, and the series is very heavy.
@@jean-maximedubebe5967 She is, OH! And I forgot that she's also Mommy Long-Legs while Micheal Kovach was the Scientist, and V as Stella from Poppy Playtime!
Others have already said it, but don't feel bad pausing in this show at all! This is the best show for that!! They love including blink-and-you'll-miss-it lore and I'm sure people (myself included) will really appreciate you actually picking up on it!
2 things: #1: I cannot wait for the next 7 episodes of this amazing lore heavy show with almost every type of horror scenario #2: "It's just robot gore, it's not that bad" this quote will backfire tremendously
For episode 2 some things i misunderstood that confused me the first time that shouldnt have and are NOT spoilers... They are NOT on earth. The exploding planet in the beginning was not earth. It copper 9 where they live. Theres another robot with a mustache. His name is frank. Frank is not uzis dad. The mustache is different. Just in case you are dumb the same ways i was haha
I do not know how but you are far from alone with the assumption that this is earth. Maybe people do not know what exoplanets are while I take that for granted? I was genuinely baffled when I found out just how many people got confused by that
@@JBasilixlol I think my silly brain was like “that kinda looks like earth” from the scene of it blowing up. But, it never was lol. I also kept forgetting that humans lived on exoplanets
This series has SO many hidden messages and clues scattered about. Some are as obscure as glitches on a screen that only show up for one or two frames! A lot of fun to try and find them all, if you're the investigative sort like that.
PLEASE continue, out of all your reactions this is the series everyone is more than okay with pausing on because there are so many “epic” details that we didn’t know were there😂
Alright, here goes _something,_ I hope: - Like I said previously, I mostly know _Murder Drones_ by reputation and from picking up production details while idling in its orbit. There's three things in particular that I've learned about it: the show's a thematic inverse of _The Amazing Digital Circus,_ hiding its emotional depths and sharp humor behind a grim, emo facade as opposed to concealing psychological horror behind a veneer of candy-coated delight; that it shares a lot of voice talents with other indie projects, including _TADC_ and _Hazbin Hotel;_ and that its creative lead, Liam Vickers, absolutely _packed_ the show with clues and important details hidden among the blink-and-you'll-miss-it minutiae of the character and set designs. (Expect to pause a *_lot_* to read.) - Uzi, our angsty teen gynoid, is voiced by Elsie Lovelock -- you've previously heard her as Charlie's singing voice in the _Hazbin_ pilot and the Gloink Queen from Episode 1 of _TADC,_ though I spotted her name on recent Playtonic Games release _Elsie_ as well. I suspect that the latter took influence from Uzi's characterization, at least in part. - Thad, the jock Uzi spoke with, is voiced by Sean Chiplock. You heard him as the voice of Kinger previously, but he's also a triple-A actor, among whose recent noteworthy roles was Rito Champion Revali in _The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild._ (He also bought a Revali fursuit for conventions, because the man is also a _dork_ in the best possible way, apparently.) - N, meanwhile, has the voice of Michael Kovach -- as has been mentioned elsewhere, he's previously provided voices for _Hazbin, TADC, Lackadaisy,_ indie games like _Poppy Playtime,_ and probably a few other things that slip my mind at the moment. From what I've heard, though, N's the crowd favorite... and I can see _why_ now I've _met_ him. - You might recall I said to remember Poppy's voice from _Poppy Playtime,_ and V is why: she's voiced by Nola Klop, the same VA as Poppy and one of the missing employees, Stella (whose voice can be heard in the Game Station in Chapter 2). She's been in a lot of other indie games in varying roles, though the main one I've played is _Bramble: The Mountain King,_ a narrative puzzle-platformer rooted in Scandinavian lore. (One for a future Friday stream?) - J's voice is provided by Shara Kirby, another video game VA. _Fire Emblem Heroes, Pokémon Masters, Genshin Impact, Armored Core VI, FF7 Rebirth,_ the _Dragonflight_ expansion of _WoW..._ Glitch pulled in some talented VAs for the first episode of their new series. - As I said before, Liam Vickers is one of those creative madmen who _loves_ hiding important details right in front of people. I don't know the context for the terms (yet), but I know I've heard the names 'Cyn' and 'Absolute Solver' floating around -- I don't doubt they're important to what happens going forward, but I can't do more than speculate. - I'm guessing that the game you half-remembered was _Chibi-Robo._ The titular 'bot was very Clank-esque, and there was definitely a similar undercurrent of _wrong_ beneath the cheery facade -- which is probably why I enjoyed it so much, thinking about it. (Plus, I'm a sucker for games that play with perspective to make familiar environments feel fantastical -- a three-inch robo-buddy traversing a regular suburban home feels like an adventure from that size!) - While the robotic nature of the characters blunts the trauma of their destruction, it's worth considering that, without some kind of backup process, the death of a sentient machine is no less absolute than the death of a human -- the Disassembly Drones have made a monument out of unique (albeit synthetic) lifeforms that they've snuffed out without hesitation. - The fact that N and his 'siblings' apparently need to drain their targets of coolant oils to avoid overheating, when Uzi and the other Worker Drones don't seem to have that issue, suggests that JC Jenson never _designed_ the Disassembly Drones for long-term use. They seem like they were developed to quell AI 'rebellions' and then self-terminate once all targets were neutralized, but wiping out an entire planet's worth of drones isn't likely something that the company planned for -- if they were dispatched automatically after the colonial drone force stopped completing orders, there likely wasn't any plan to bring them back. I think Uzi called it: the Murder Drones are _expendable._
@davidjohnson1727 Good to know I didn't accurately guess _everything_ right out of the gate. It gets kind of _boring_ when I predict every big twist well in advance just from overanalyzing things -- a show that doesn't go where I _think_ it's going is _very_ welcome!
This is going to be a slightly different experience for me. Unlike all the _other_ indie animation projects I've rambled about, I've actually never seen _Murder Drones_ before now -- it's been on my radar thanks to my exposure to Glitch Productions and my friendship with a few fans, but my direct knowledge of the lore behind the show is limited thanks to my avoidance of any spoilers. I'll probably do more speculation than lore dumps and BTS tidbits for this show, but I'm totally down to share my first viewing of _Murder Drones_ with you and the rest of the Mattables community!
As far as the sun killing them, the Disassembly Drones have an intentionally designed under-par cooling system and thus overheat from heat sources such as sunlight.
Love this show!!! Dont worry if you get confused about details, there is so much hidden details that only show for a second or two but i think your pausing habits will serve you well!
He has no idea what horrors he is getting into, does he? And Matt, welcome to the Murder Drones rabbit hole. Please continue reacting to this series. The extra lights on the heads of N, J, and V are extra eyes/sensors btw, and this is set on Copper 9, an exoplanet. The reason that N, J, and V don't need flap their wings when they fly is because they have jets in their feet, kinda like a plane. Their wings just provide lift. Also, the reason that Khan leaves Uzi for dead is because he has PTSD from Nori (His wife, Uzi's mother) being killed by one of the Disassembly Drones prior to the series. Also, remember the name Cyn and the Absolute Solver. Both are important.
I mean he also had a choice pick up the gun and possibly miss N and kill Uzi, hit and kill both, just straight up miss and possibly get himself killed as well, or do what he did abandon his daughter who jeopardize the colony and alert and start an evacuation
@@brodybenton-haskins9720 Yeah, but I feel like his PTSD was the biggest factor at that moment. We can see that Khan was literally shaking, possibly on the verge of a panic attack
@@The.Original.Phoenix7 I'm not denying what you're saying just giveing more and a lot of people hate on him for leaving Uzi ignoring the point I provided of him leaving her allowed him to inform the rest of the colony of the threat. If he died there no one would've know about the threat and Uzi got the whole colony killed but nooo he's the bad guy for leaving her and trying to give the colony a chance
@@brodybenton-haskins9720 Okay, I get what you're saying, and I agree with that. Shall we call it a combination of Khan's PTSD and him prioritising the safety of the colony and be done with it
I can confirm that I "like, appreciate, and enjoy" this content, so I hope you continue this series. It's a mystery series though, so don't feel out of place if you're a bit lost sometimes, it's natural! That's all I'll say to avoid encroaching on spoiler territory, it's just a common comment I've seen from people who react to this.
Btw, this doesn't take place on earth but an exo planet called copper-9. The Murder Drones presumably come from earth, Uzi explained during the intro that the company sent them.
murder drones is really awesome and yes, the sound design is so well done. Please feel kindly reminded that this is an indie production and only 50 ppl worked on this(animation) - the later episodes will blow your mind ! I love this! The sense of humor and horror elements are just great in this.
"Maybe they're human minds inside the robots!" Of course, the classic portal conundrum I haven't finished this series yet, I have no idea if that's the case or not-
Looking for messages and other important things frame by frame is actually the best way to watch this show (and sometimes the only way to tie the story together). Enjoy!!!
Please please please keep watching this show! It's amazing and as long as you keep pausing consistently it hopefully won't be too confusing as things are revealed! I'm really glad you paused on that part on N's screen that mentioned the absolute solver and Cyn because so many people miss that but it's such a great bit of foreshadowing!
You are in for one helluva amazing ride. This show can be a little hard to parse at times but the action is amazing, the humor great, and the depth insane.
Keep in mind when N says he'd be constantly disassembling himself. He seems to have full control of his tail, so it being an accident would make no sense. He might be doing it on purpose due to the cruel treatments. He also seems to believe J and V are telling him the truth😥💔❤🩹
Or more realistically he was trying to be empathetic by suggesting that he is clumsy just like he thinks Uzi is for disassembling herself. This is not a metaphor for intentional self harm. To me it seems like you are projecting. If that is true please go and talk to somebody like family or friends. If I am wrong I am sorry for assuming.
@@JBasilix I have no problem, thanks for the concern though. I wrote that because it's a popular theory that considering what N has gone through with J, V and (Spoiler alert!!!!) the Elliot mansion events constantly damaging his self esteem and sense of self- worth, I believe very likely. The fact he had a virus injected in him yet still thought J was looking out for him and apologized to Uzi shows how damaged his self- image is. He ACTUALLY thought he was useless. Thank you for the concern and yet again, don't worry I'm not offended:) I understand, TBH that's a very morbid theory to randomly spit out at a comment section, I would have thought the same
@@Eclipse_daWeirdestGurl Thanks for taking it with understanding. Would rather say something one to many times than miss the important one. I never heard of that fan theory so yeah... caught me quite by surprise. I think they are going to far. Reading between the lines is important but sometimes people try to be to clever
Murder Drones is fantastic but it doesn't hold your hand, you really have to pay attention to details and dialogue, but I'm sure fans will be more than willing to help clarify anything you have trouble with. It's a wild ride, hope you enjoy it!
This is an extremely great series, but you'll feel extremely confused until episode 5. From that point onwards, the show keeps getting so much better with every episode
Awesome video, can’t wait to see you react to the rest of the show :) also if you think the animation is good now, it gets better with every episode so that’s something to look forward to
You're going to be sooo confused as the episodes go by lmao, I would recommend you to write down the important things so you don't forget HDJF. But leaving that aside, this series is very good!! As the episodes go by, the animation increases to an incredible quality AND THE MUSIC SLAP SO HARD LIKE REALLY HARD :D
This is the most CONFUSING show I ever watched. I had to re-watch every episode and looks things up, yet I'm still not entirely sure if I understand everything that's going on.
2:05 Not just that, man - they made sure to animate the clouds being pushed away in the shockwave. Whenever I see details like that in a good explosion, I feel a max0r quote in my soul: "it gave me a filmmaking boner"
@Mattables I thought that's what you were talking about! I played it on the PS2 back in the day. They did such a good job of making the bots you fight for seem like they were just trying to defend themselves, and the enemies just heartless invaders with...more than a few quirks. To this day I will never forget the one bot overseeing the final checks for a production line. Any mistakes and he'd call the offending unit defective calling for it to be "discomboobulated" immediately. So good. So funny. 947.38/10, would play the crap out of a remaster.
@@djmagichat1721 For sure, yeah. Someone is working on a remake of Metal Arms right now because the company that originally made Metal Arms I think got cancelled. I can't remember, but yeah. Amazing 10/10 game. My childhood. :)
Glad how you stop every nów and then to look at the details, in the next episodes it will be very important as most of the lore isnt said directly and you have to actually figure it out by yourself, so please PAY attention to details if you dont want to be confused ❤
Episode 1 sets up the world, Episodes 2 through 4 ask questions without answers, Episode 5 onwards you start very slowly getting answers but you have to use your brain a bit to put everything to gether. Just a heads up. It's a great show and I am always happy to see more people watch it
Love your reaction! Pausing and reflecting is how you watch this show properly, so... :D Looking forward to next episodes if you decide to react to the whole series!
this is very confusing, even as a lore person myself i got some things an episode later also the lore is written in a way so that you know exactly as much as uzi and N, so when they are being tricked youre also being tricked(its fine as long as you keep up with what they know)
This delightful show becomes incredibly confusing, and if you can make it make sense to me I will officially dub you a Reactor Hero and buy you a ko-fi or something.
You might need to turn on the subtitles since it shows who is talking. It could help you understand the lore more since it's going to be VERY confusing
27:00 he mentioned he had to put his wife out of her misery after she was stung with the nanite acid(being slowly dissolved and likely suffering) he probably got ptsd here, this doesnt still justify him being a terrible dad but it makes sense he acts like this now even if its wrong(he is somewhat overhated because people forgot the context)
Ohhh so happy you’re getting into murder drones, and you have the right mindset pausing to read all the little details. Sometimes they’re jokes other times they’re very important lore pieces. Like you missed a big bit at the end with uzi murder monologue. Take a frame by frame look at the error in her eye, trust me it will be important later.
