Merle and John's Talk 

this comment legitimately blew my mind

I get chills everytime I hear that last quote.

Maggie Bugs I

Maggie Bugs he does exactly that

So fucking good though.

Nom San if he was on another level in the stolen century then he was on an other planet in the finale

Donovan Phillips what's his name?

@@Northychen Griffin McElroy, he and his brothers (the other two here, excluding there father) did a lot of stuff for polygon, along with other popular podcasts, but have also recently started there own RU-vid channel, which is basically just another outlet for there shows and podcasts.

Casey Chandler Oh thank you :) but I know that I just thought that maybe they have background writers for some parts or something

@@Northychen oh lol, sorry. thought you might have just found this at random.

Casey Chandler ah no I'm actually a big fan of the Amnesty podcast. But thanks for the reply anyway:)

Then 80 years later he made tom bodett step in front of a train

@@aly2833 😂

Clint did say that a lot of the whole “choose happiness thing” is directly taken from his own life, and specifically was inspired by the late Mom McElroy, which was wild to find out

Do we collectively call him "dad" now

yeah

@@thecurtains You're not?

@@Sweetumskitty1789 I was surprised cause I do too

Keaton IKR! I like to not just see this scene as Merle confronting John,the mouthpiece of an omnicidal hive of dissatisfaction. I like to also see it as Clint comforting Griffin over something that was probably bugging him for a while.

Holy shit I'm an idiot. I always forget that there are people behind these characters and I guess I fooled myself into thinking that Griffin pulled these themes from a hardship he had already overcome and to spread a positive message about it. But now that I think of it, this story was more like putting it to the test. Shit.

Genuinely, that must have been the case. That Griffin had thought about it. Because I sympathized with John a lot, and I've felt that too. I can believe that if I were on his planet, I would have also listened and been consumed. But Merle is the conclusion I came to. To find joy, because that's all you have. I regret that John's conclusion never came back to that apology he owed to Merle.

Well Mirashade, for what it's worth, infinity is a long time to say never for.

Curses!! Im crying again!!

Also, I just generally _like_ Merle.

“And he kill you”

Blaze it

thanks for that idea, i'm totally stealing it :)

I want to discuss that episode but I also don't want to leave spoilers on these animatics! :(

Basically yeah. It's the amalgum of an entire plain, and its source of inspiration is the disappointment of life continuing for eternity. That also leads into how it is a beatable thing. It's just one plane, mashed together into a collective consciousness, as well as some of the other plains it's consumed. When it attacks, it separates the newly targeted plane system (the deities and gods can't connect to their followers. The land of the dead is unable to connect to the land of the living. etc.) then attacks each one, separately. Gods, as well as the checks on the dead vs living are unable to be used to amplify those on the living, physical plain. In other words: people who are alive can't multiply their powers by asking the gods or the dead, or whatever else lies beyond the physical plain. The same is true if the gods get their power from some other plain, like their followers, or the spiritual plane, or wherever else. Such understanding AND manipulation of such important connections of life, death, and other stuff is definitely up the alley of a litch, since their entire schtick is mixing their soul with raw magical power, two things from two plains that are greatly separated under normal circumstances.

call-me-wdc same

Bro, same, I watched that one and was like "this seems cool!" And started listening to the podcast

YES EXACTLY THE SAME! Oddly enough I didn't know what TAZ or Camp Camp was at hte time, and now they are both my great loves. Rock on!

@@mayhembydesign1108 that animatic has given us all amazing shows and podcasts to watch lmao.

Me too, that’s crazy

That one video has brought many people to an amazing show and that’s awesome

hey hamlet, be more chill , its called The Adventure Zone, its a comedy dungeons and dragons podcast. Its a quality story with amazing characters and worth anyone's time

He's more high-key murderous. Like he kills a lot of people.

Mackysha's description is accurate but really does not convey the sheer numbers. Billions probably doesn't either.

"Kill" is kind of a harsh word. They're absorbed into a horrible amalgamation of consciousness

It's from Ep. 63. The Stolen Century, Chapter Four.
