Thank You for watching! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►Discord / discord ►2nd Channel bit.ly/2IJ7kdG ►My Twitter @BrettPlayMC ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ This video was made before SoW had officially ended.
*Important update for any newcomers:* I admire the optimism for the official Songs of War series to return, I really do. Unfortunately, there was an incident that essentially drove any small remaining chances of that happening straight to zero. You see, after the series was cancelled, the director (whose name you probably know from the video, but I will not mention due to reasons you will see in a moment) left the Black Plasma Studios channel to pursue a career in making games, as Songs of War season 1 ended up not being as successful as he'd hoped. With the announcement that the series was canceled, the script for seasons 2 and 3 were released. While this severely diminished the chances of the official series making a return, this did not stop fans from continuing in their place. People began animating scenes and even entire episodes, using the script as a foundation. It was still somewhat okay for the Songs of War fanbase, all in all. At least, it was okay. Up until the incident, that is. One day, a young girl known to be working for Black Plasma Studios came forward, revealing that the series' director had been grooming her while she was underage (I don't remember when she said it started, but the age of 13 was mentioned in there). Not only that, but she was able to actually prove it. The community, and the channel, quickly fell into shambles. The director stopped all updates on his game, groups of fans stopped all work on projects related to Songs of War, and the channel ended up rebranding itself to Squared Media in an attempt to cut ties with you-know-who. If anything, we're lucky that the series is even still publicly available. All in all, the future of the series is now essentially in the gutter. The channel wants as little connection to him as possible, so they're most DEFINITELY not going to bring back a series that a child predator's name is HEAVILY associated with. It sucks that Songs of War was cut short, but what sucks EVEN MORE is that its legacy was tainted by the actions its own creator.
IF YOU READ THIS..... Thank you very much for the entire summary, all these years I was overwhelmed and I never understood what happened, until now. The news hurts me, how is it possible that probably the best Minecraft animation and... I won't waste any more words complaining and I just wanted to thank you for the information and without anything else to say I also thank you for the animations that remained and the fandub that saved the series animating what was left in the script.
Is it possible to create and entire film without getting sued? Like.....me? I'm already beggining work on it, if all goes well, it should come out in like, a decade? In the film industry
In the cancellation announcement on Black Plasma Community, David said that they earned less than $1 for every 1000 views, but the patrons made up for the difference and were the main reason they took so long deciding whether or not to continue. Edit: Oops, didn't see video release date.
Just Imagine What will happen with the Internet if some day they will show us a teaser to the second season of Songs of War. I think that the whole community will blow up from that kind of news.
As much as I hate to say it, that'll probably never happen. They rebranded the channel in an attempt to cut ties with the director after the incident. Bringing back a series that his name is heavily associated with would make that essentially pointless.
@@darckap2785 I didn't even know who the director of the series was tbfh. I only just now heard of this drama. Yeah, JUST now. It is a true shame the series can't continue, as it's one of the most unique I've seen in terms of Minecraft animation. I feel that continuing the series wouldn't associate them with the ex-director. He's gone, and he won't earn a penny from any future plans for the project. The art does not deserve to rot in the garbage bin just because its creator was a fool. Still, I can see where SM is coming from, so oh well. Rip SOW.
I believe someday a streaming platform will pick this up, trust me even if it has been 3 years i still think this has WAAY too much potential to go unnoticed, it might be adapted to something else in the far future
The true reason why this series was cancelled is because thier sponser thalleous' own brand peas wasn't able to support due to thalleous himself being dead.
As a person with pretty much 0 childhood. songs of war is something i remember looking forward to the episodes every weekend i think so.I will probably re-watch it again sometime. I am extremely sad that there will be no official season 2 they also changed their name from black plasma studios which i found out like yesterday.
Yeah, there was an incident that drove any small chances of this series returning to zero. Long story short, the director got caught grooming an underage girl. She accused him of doing so, then she was able to provide proof. Just like that, the legacy of the series was tainted forever.
To this day, I am still heartbroken that Songs of War is cancelled. I am also heartbroken that Black Plasma Studios changed their name to Squared Media.
The director of Songs of War actually got caught grooming an underage girl. After the accusation and supporting evidence came out, the channel rebranded itself in an attempt to cut all ties with him. Yeah, they had a good reason for changing the channel's name. Edit: spelling.
Nice Video, I was expecting you to talk about the SoW Union... We're the fans that came together to do BIG projects related to SoW... If lucky enough... You may see me and my members create these next seasons. Edit: If you see anyone named like me or these "Kapitein" and "Arcanean"... That is the best opportunity to enter.
I think one of the saddest things is while I got to the finale when reading the script, I thought how good the soundtrack for Season 2 and 3 would have been if it wasn’t cancelled. I know that some of the soundtrack for the other seasons were in the extended material album but still. THE SOUNDTRACK WOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST AS WELL IF NOT, BETTER THAN SEASON 1!!!!!
If it could happen one day. I loved the series. Its beautiful. The fanmade are ok. I love the stories of Minecraft past. Like grom corinthius. And others. I hope they make a new series with a similar story. Nir the same universe obviously. But still something that cam bring you in and give you an escape. 😊 I heard the story if why it stopped. And i understand completely why they didnt. I completely agree with stopping l.
I really appreciate the video, but I just can't ignore the voice-over. It feels like your nose was clogged while you were speaking, to the point where even I started to feel suffocated...
I think I recorded this when I had COVID so. yeah. Probably wasn't a good idea. If I redid this video today I would definitely do some things different, including the voice over of course.
Story writters,if it ever happens to plan out for a show's story but the show gets cancelled with bo intention to come back, *at least tell us what was planned to happen in the story!* Fanmade versions of the continuation exist,but we will never those if those are what the original was meant to be,and probably are not.
@@devinwhite2492 well I'm still mad at him. Songs Of War is quite literally one of if not THE BEST minecraft animation/movie ever made, by this point no one even cares about david or whoever it was because 99% of the people wanting SOW back don't even have a clue who that guy is. Hell I just learned he even existed just now even though I found out about the series when it first started and even after it was canceled
