Theoretically, if a Third Life animated adaptation were to happen, narratively, how would it start?
This has been boggling me for a while. We all love the storytelling of some Life Series moments, but besides that, it's still a minecraft SMP with Youtuber intros and non-story aspects like mining or cutting down trees.
We all know how Third Life ends, but how does it start in a hypothetical animated situation? Grian's typical intro explanation, "Welcome to Third Life, a series where this happens...", or something more cinematic, like shots of the biomes and people? How would the rules be explained if not for the intro? It would likely be dependant on if the animation is more serious or more comedic. Something cinematic and serious is what I imagine Sad-ist's animations are more like, but how would you introduce the concept in an animation like that without relying on the prior knowledge of past fans?
How would player deaths be illustrated as well? I'd imagine it would just be the players bursting into clouds.
Edit: Additionally, the Watcher lore? As someone who doesn't know anything about it, I'd also love for someone to explain that too!
