Additional fun word piece for Iconoclasm: It's specifically the destruction of religious *images*, or Icons (which usually depicted biblical scenes or figures), as the church in Rome saw them as idols (which lead to one of the major schisms between the Roman Catholic Church and the Byzantine Orthodox Church). So the fact that the mission where we're breaking heretical statues (Or Icons) of the Witness/Precursers really makes the name choice great.
OKAY HERE WE GO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - To start...I TOLD YOU NEOPOP WOULD MAKE FOR THE FUNNIEST OPENING BIT!! Fucking perfect and hilarious, the line delivery of that "Oh what the fuck!?" between you and Stecky was just ~chef's kiss~ - Ooooo using the cutscene with the entrance into the Pale Heart to introduce the merging of lives and how the sharing of guns mechanic works and shit was fucking sick (plus the Hunter's color scheme was PERFECT for it) - The editing is, as always, top tier. Memes, sound effects, transitions and screen effects, all wonderfully done - YOOO THAT TITLE CARD AND CUTSCENE FOR THE DREAD WAS A W E S O M E - diamond LANCE - Yeah the Stasis Subjugators suck. The huge freeze attack murked me SO MANY TIMES - COD Zombies with extra steps LMAOO - I didn't even think about how far Ikora managed to get her ship....do we suck? Or is she just a legendary pilot? We may never know... - I wish I could make it to GCX....alas I am broke...too many Superchats for Mr. Smoothie! (joking joking...I'm just unemployed lmao) - Damnnnn I never realized how perfectly that mine screwed you over. The Destiny Gods heard that you liked the weapon combo and ripped it away - Wow you and Stecky are such a good voice actors, plus I love how you turned the attempted radio messages from Mara to Crow into ones from the rest of the team to you and Stecky. - I wouldn't've minded seeing you run through the Lost Sectors and Strike, but a cutscene instead is fuckin fire - THE HOT WHEELS MAN HAS ARRIVED!!! I did not expect Rylee to show up but I am SO HAPPY HE DID - The excitement from getting a The Call is so real. I got one in the first mission and it carried for almost every encounter in the rest of the Campaign, fuckin top tier weapon - I remember being so relieved that you made it through the fight with the Pillar of Devotion with only 1 death. That encounter cooked me so many times on my solo legend run that I almost turned off my Xbox and walked away. - "Don't we fight a Tormentor in a cornfield?" is so funny for no reason - Rip Quicksilver and Harsh Language, got cooked faster than my cup of noodles - Eeeeee Resonant Wardens are so fucking terrifying. The sheer size of them and the way they stomp steadily towards you, able to murk you with only one or two swings of that massive axe...one of the only enemies in the game that actually makes me nervous. Speaking of, rip Sunshot and the Shiny Mountaintop, murdered by the axe swing I just described. - Nice touch with the zombie noises over the Thrall and the Elite noises over the Knights. It's the little things that add to the top tier quality of your videos - YOOOO THAT CUTSCENE WITH THE WITNESS WAS SICK!! THE TITLE CARDS, THE PRISMATIC PROBLEM, BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL - "Destroy us." As you wish, homie. Not gonna find any arguments with me! - Man, I know that you are pretty much invulnerable in that final walking section with the Aegis, but it still makes me nervous every time. Seeing that tiny sliver of health left at the top of the screen is just nerve-wracking. - ....I...wow...almost no words for the cutscene after the battle. The struggle with the Witness to protect Stecky, the montage of moments with him across every Nuzlocke....and then the arrival of the Hunter and Warlock? (side note...have we named the Hunter yet? I can't remember) Absolutely breathtaking, stunning, showstopping, just wow. And the following cutscene as well, when they've all escaped and sit down to talk? Fucking beautiful. I love that the Hunter had no idea about Athena unlike the Warlock and Titan. That minor cut to seeing the others battle was fuckin hilarious as well. Also scratch my previous idea that the attempted radio messages were from the rest of the team. They were from the Hunter and Warlock?? COOL - YESSS HOT WHEELS MAN!!!! Gotta love him coming in last and sassy--LMAOOOOOOO sorry I just heard Rylee's line when you reveal that the Hunter and Warlock are alternate versions of the Titan. "WHUT IN THE FUCK!?" Nearly spit out my damn drink!! - OOOOOOO HI ATHENA!!! - The shot of the whole squad lined up with Athena behind is so epic, but I nearly spit out my drink again when Donovan got all silly about Athena's line of the Witness being careful about what they wish for. Man this was just amazing. You've outdone yourself this time, Toad. I cannot wait for part 3 with the Raidlocke and Excision. I have run out of words to express how much I loved this, keep up the incredible work, Toad. Your content just gets better and better with every project.
We're not going to talk about how almost every glyph section Toad goes through he gets Witness and pyramid ship. Also i'm pretty sure that this is the best luck he has ever had in any of his other nuzlocke's. 😂😂
Dude, you don't know how big of a smile appeared on my face when the alternative Toads showed up. I'm always a huge fan of timeline shit and this was fantastic to see combined with my favorite game universe
Long have we awaited to see a conclusion to this war. Finally we are greeted with such opportunity to Witness our Salvation (im lowkey hyped for this ima be in chat an hour early)
Congrats on the release, Toad. We know you've poured a lot of love and work into making this video! This is gonna be awesome. Was not expecting the appearance of the Hot Wheels Representative, The Quirked Up White Boy Goated with the SWAS, Mr Rylee Reloaded - fish want him, woman fear him. Overall, this was an awesomely made video, I can't wait for the Raidlocke, you've done such awesome work, and I know it'll only get better!
legit the best nuzlock yet. loved every single part of it. animations, game play, and story. seriously appreciate everything that went into making this vid. 100% work of art
These animations are so incredible. Absolutely loving these gameplay+story videos, and I sincerely hope you love making them enough to continue doing so!!
Gotta say love the series, and cant wait for the finale. Reminds me so much of the old machinimas during the days of Halo Reach. I swear Athena's VA sounds like the Ai from Rise of the Spartans, but IDK,. this making me want to watch those again. those were Good times too. Either way, keep up the good work Toad.
This was amazing. There are barely even words to express how COOL this was! Part 3 will be just as, or maybe even better, than this! I just know it, cuz every time a part has been posted, it has been better than the last! Keep up the amazing work, but make sure you take breaks! 💛
Bro these videos are amazing. It genuinely feels like I’m watching a destiny movie, this is amazing! Great work! I wish I could afford a GCX ticket this year, I need yall to sign my ghost 😂
You know, I've slowly been picking up more and more of your editing style. Grayscale and all audio put through a low pass filter, while keeping a heartbeat as the only coherent sound when at low health is a really good way to indicate damage and pain. Also you wielding the red subclass was kinda badass. Hope it becomes official in the game someday
Ok I tried watching this vid live one release last night (or whenever) and it was laggy and choppy like 15-20 minutes in and I stopped watching. And I’m so happy I did because it made watching it so much better. Toad you are a absolute legend and it was well worth the long wait, can’t wait for part 3
Amazing work bro, if this doesnt win movie of the week bungie is truly cooked. Making your own story thats just as good as the actual campaign is just insane. Cant wait for the raid
Loving this content Toad. Love the narrative and the feeling. Really accentuating what it feels like to play through these things with your fireteam. Looking forward to the Raidlocke!
Bro this nuzlocke episode had my heart skip a beat more times than any other before. Also ironic that I was watching Ryle reloaded while waiting for this to be released
Wow man I love your content it's getting better and better every video man and the end with getting every character to end the witness man just wow keep it up
YYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! I can finally be here for a premiere of something I wanna watch!!! As for Toad himself…best of luck to you. And thank you for all the awesome memories with your series. This is written before the live premiere.
My man toed idk why you have this low subs but tbh you deserve at least 1 mil subs cuz the work and effort you put on your vids are super amazing and I love ya man keep it up and let's hope the 2nd saga has good content for you to make more awesome vids❤
Toad, can you PLEASE put all the cutscene things you make together and make like, a single video with a story line. I would actually watch that over a billion times. Also love your work, good job, and did you know you can super the Subjugators twice and kill them before the Witness makes the storm? Just some advice / something I thought you'd let you know.
I feel like you need to be hired to cinematics for games, honestly all the Nuzlocke vids that have segments of characters talking/story beats/extra content are what really make this all so special~ and that Witness speech when you entered the last mission could have LITERALLY been a cutscene with some polish and fit super well into the campaign. Awesome job my dude :3
Congratulations, you've done it! You've completed arguably the hardest D2 campaign in a Nuzlocke, truly impressive. It's genuinely delightful to see just how much you've improved since your first Nuzlocke. With that being said though... you've got a bit of unfinished business. A rematch and redemption against the one Nuzlocke campaign that you unequivocally, undeniably... failed. The one that beat you and forced you to break and twist the rules of your Nuzlocke until it couldn't even be called a Nuzlocke anymore. I am of course referring to The Witch Queen. Where you lost every weapon you had, then had to give yourself an additional 12 hours (double what you had for prep) to gather more weapons in the Dreaming City just to take on the final 2 missions. You failed The Witch Queen Nuzlocke, you can't deny that. What you can do, however, is take all the experience you've gained... and kick the ever-living shit out of it in the greatest rematch the Destiny universe has ever seen.
This is fucking awesome! Not only is it a funny vid, but I love the story you are building withing the Smoothie-Verse. I seriously wish Athena was cannon. I also liked the Halo covenent sound for the hive ^^
Really cool,awsome, and too many words to say just to say this is great. The cutscenes, bit of suspense, awsome work! Also after seeing the timeline merge stuff now I am getting dejavu from duviri paradox(this is somethin warframe so ignore this part )
The 3D animator in me is shaking at how long the lighting must have taken but also good job on making new animations I now that 3D animation is hard and you did it all by yourself I had my friend to thank for teaching but I am surprised about your strides in the thing that you love thank you for giving us this stunning production of 3D animation and destiny 2
This is so fuckin cool dude. From the bottom of my heart, you have outdone yourself yet again Mr. Smoothie. And it appears it is time to write some more lore entries, but first I need to unravel all of these timeline shenanigans.
I’ll not be able to watch until tomorrow, I have to take a flight, you guys enjoy. And Toad I know you’ve worked very hard for this and I already know your work is going to be fantastic as always, thanks for everything and eyes up for the future guardian.
Welcome back Toad I don't normally say this but The Shadows of Yor are at service Just point in the direction and we will make sure no enemy is getting back up after we done with them
