I mean, look at that. Their own former leader, LettuceK, reduced to a false position of authority in their enemy's ranks. And he still thinks he would have made a perfect king. So embarrassing.
Can’t wait to see CabbageK’s redemption arc.
Parrots content rn holds probably some of the most mixed opinions in recent times. Unlike the other 3 who definitely have atleast 75% or more of the community agreeing that they are currently producing some of their best content ever Parrots in a posittion of 50/50 maybe even less fans than that. This recent distain towards the exile arc has dropped his stock but personally I havent been drawn to parrots content since the Law Finale and Im glad im now not the only one who is starting to dislike Parrots current content.
Parrot Himself
In some videos parrot is an okay character like he definitely hasnt been my favorite protag for awhile and his hero complex is definitely starting to drive me crazy but that is just Parrot. Although in certain videos parrot is REALLY bad in his “I build advanced civ vid” his constant self praise and trying to be humble was so weird to watch his “oh this is easy bro whag are you on about I didnt even have to try” attitude was HORRIBLE. And dont get me stwrted on his “oh im kinda just fed up with elections bro” . Even in the underworld video his hero complex ideals get so tiring after the lime 3rd time it happens
Side characters
Im only gonna talk abt the main ones for this but starting off with Theo. Theo from a fans viewpoint ive seen alot of annoyance from the dumbing down of Theos character in recent times even a kinda drying up on his character all together hes the right hand to yhe king yet gives no push back to ANYTHING parrot does. Even Theo in the treasure arc with his “your gonna kill yourself with this hero complex” was great character building and when we saw Billy show up I thought Theo was in for a great redemption and buildup arc. Instead we got that he gets bitches says hes scared of Billy and then Billy gets bitched out by wemmbu☹️.
Even going back to that point his “ Im scared of Billy parrot” couldve been done well but its just never followed up on which makes NO SENSE at all. I feel like hes being forced to act dumber for Reina to act smarter. Reina In a previous post I give out my grievance about her for TLDR I think she could have been great but parrots idea of a “strong female character” forcing too much on the female part and thag Reina is practically just a Parrot OC ruins her.
Finnaly PestoPasta was an okay SC him being really frocfully stupif at times wasnt great though
Villians
Im mainly only gonna talk about Shoebilly as the others I dont have much to say anything bad about.
Billy is in a simmilar boat to Reina Hes at times just a parrot OC but weve seen now from Flame and Wemmbus POV although hes still not great and kinda cringy at times hes so mucb better in g those povs than Parrots. I feel like the biggest thing Parrot is missing is a character like Spongs or Egg someone you wonder if there improving the whole time not constantly knowing this is all scripted lines at times
His reign of king was rushed
Parrot was king without the war for 3 episodes
1 was 100 days slop, episode 2 was just aot reference slop and episode 3 was wifies references slop and introducing cindercrest properly. All 3 of which arent great videos sometimes you do need filler and there okay for filler but there also not meant to be treated as such.
The rush of the civil war
This is a complaint on all 3 povs but still the Civ war is extremely rushed parrot and wemmbu get 3 vids each and flame gets 5 and then there at war again. It really damages parrots videos because he just became kin and not even 6 episoes later hes no longer king. Some moments from it are great but a majority are just meh. Its either sometimes really cringy stuff thrown down out throats or Parrot acting like a bum.
The exile arc is bad lol
Exile hasnt been great. Advanced civ ive given my grievances about already I also think making Saps the villian again arleady was bad. 1000 player mining civ wasnt bad wasnt good either tho. Again its tryint to force the idea that parrot is this inelectual genius with no flaws and he has to force it down our throat but all it seems like is he watched death note for the first time and wanted to feel like Light ( also it mught just be me but snowlickers betrayal I saw from a mile away. And aswell the underworld video is again just wifies references slop with parrot instead of a inteluctual complex its now a “I need too save everyone” complex which weve seen and dont like too see anymore
I’ve been re-watching Parrots UU and seeing how much death affects his character. If there was an option to revive one character, who do you think Parrot would choose? I personally think Dean or LuigiToan
*I don’t want there to be revive lore-wise, but I wanted to see other peoples thoughts.
Ok so y'all already know how Wemmbu has some seriously good soundtracks he uses in his videos and most of you know about Azali and listen to his songs and whatnot.
But I'm here to talk about the other guy. The SERIOUSLY underrated guy.
I am talking about Andreas Zoeller, a guy known specifically for his cinematic remakes of C418's minecraft songs. Wemmbu uses these for those really uplifting moments in his videos or for great conclusions that lead to some of the best cliffhangers.
I'd suggest you listen to the following by Andreas Zoeller that show up in Wemmbu's videos:
The Wet Hands one we hear a lot when Wemmbu's just doing standard minecraft things like running through the wheat kingdom's wheat fields, or when he's making a minecart as a way to go to Redstone Town when on the run from the LAW.
Aria Math Epic version is heard in like high stakes aura-ful cliffhangers that just make your chest feel heavy. The best example I can think of is when the Cave Kingdom's Purge ends and the Chungies gang is pillaring out of the pit to defeat Arachnid once and for all.
And Sweden is by far the one he's used the most recently. It's the opening track to the widely loved Wemmbu's recent video "How I Saved The Unstable SMP" and again, really intense, heavy, impactful music that really sets the gravity of the episode.
These are the 3 I've noticed till now in Wemmbu's videos, but there are few others Andreas has made that are also amazing. Please check out his channel for all of them, but I'll leave you with one last that isn't from Wemmbu's videos, but is perfect for honouring our legend:
In unstable smp many players have been blackmailed using ender pearl stasis chambers that drop them into the void but can’t you just make another remote stasis chamber teleport back if they try to send you to the void?
Some people might say that they are constantly being watched but that’s wrong because even in the days of the mafia, mafia members could explore far away from headquarters with no punishment. The perfect opportunity to build a stasis chamber.
So all you’d need to do is make it obvious you’re betraying and keep your fishing rod in your hot bar as you flee so you can easily escape once teleported.
wdym the capital city is actually capitol city , and the mining city is the capital city bro
We all know that for a long time Flames POV was the weakest in terms of the plot relevancy and plot in general. Although im very happy to say that recent vids went up in quality BY A MILE.
Mist civ? Whole LettuceK character? Cloudwatch plot twist? Good LORD. (The introduction of the Windgrove was a bit random though.)
I personally havent watched the Mist civilization videos but after this ill surely catch up. The whole idea of external power having a bureau in the main server trying to manipulate but having a power thirsty management causing in inside wars? They LOCKED TF IN WITH THIS PLOT.
Also i just want to point out how cool that was to have whole LAW killteam rescuing Flame? Chills. I imagine how cool these people felt on Unstable Events while they were recording it.
And as much as I hated LettuceK in law arc he is growing on me ngl.
les goo i can finally start watching him again
BannerBurger died before she shines.
this death is genuinely the most unexpected death on unstable (Nufuli you got some competition now pal) like actually this is so out of nowhere and completely Optional like what did she ever do to you lettuce you just slaughtered her Infront of her friends like isn't serving justice your thing bro what happened with that bro whatever.
And I'm surprised nobody make this topic yet because it's such an interesting death that I guess everyone overlooked it because of the ending in the video
o7 BannerBurger gone too soon.
Active prediction for flame next video:
Major characters death
Beside’s the warrior’s civ (antag’s civ) and law, who could the other factions be? I went back to rewatch the scene and found 4 shield banner patterns that I’ve never seen before. Also canary civ’s banner wasnt there.
Maybe it was just hyperbole from lettuce but its still quite interesting seeing that there are still powerful factions we dont know about that want flame dead/alive.
