Funny thing to consider. If he did shoot the Sheriff, and teach the spider girl very competently... maybe the incompetence is faked? 'The conman' is a classic western trope as well after all.

[@Airier]

Good point. 😯

[@Chaos_The_Kidd]

That's the theory I've been going with.

[@joshuamedina6807]

He also did escape the spider Web through distracting Cordey as well so likely

[@GuukanKitsune]

Obfuscating Incompetence, so his enemies underestimate him.

[@yessir6919]

*Most Wanted* *Dead* or *Alive* (Preferably Dead) *'Conman' Waylon* Sounds like an awesome plot for a fanfic.

[@Chaos_The_Kidd]

Apparently Cordie poking Waylon's eye is theorized to be like how some female spiders poke males spiders eyes to let them know they want to mate. So that's her way of heavily flirting.

[@hallofguns8174]

I never knew that, thanks so much for the context!

[@TheMjohann]

Thank you for this information, i hate it. And i'm to scared to google this to see if it is true.

[@alvinchen9655]

do you have a source?

[@IronDino]

Personally, I think that Waylon's little 'skit' with the Pinecone's on the train was a subtle nod as to how the actual sheriff was killed. 'Two-Bit Jerry' tried to rob the Sheriff in a classic old fashioned train robbery, his old partner sold him out, and a gunfight ensued with Waylon (or the ex-partner) shooting the Sheriff. His partner stole the money, Waylon stole the sheriff's badge, and there were no other witnesses to say what 'actually' happened leading to him weaving over the top tales so that if he accidently admitted to it, it would come across as a Cassandra Truth. Note that when he's taking care to aim and not showboating, Waylon is actually a pretty good shot, not to mention the fact that he's a self professed 'outlaw'.

[@antaresmaelstrom5365]

"He actually shot the sherriff." Ah yes, but you see, he didn't shoot the deputy.

[@keona5560]

Oh my god I love you for this

[@tyrannosaur219]

I love that you stop and read things like the newspaper and some of the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it text/background elements in this and Murder Drones. It’s one of the things Liam likes to toss into a lot of his works, and makes me excited to see what you might spot in Internecion Cube; assuming that’s what you’re planning on reacting to next when it comes to his stuff.

[@he-in4hc]

I watched it 40 times, and every time I did, I noticed something new.

[@Boomerkbom57]

One tiny detail I wanted to point out is that at the beginning, when it showed the population as 21, but on the newspaper they said they couldn't have missed someone since there are "like 20" people. Waylon was the 21st person.

[@JustSimplyHunter]

10:54 "How the heck is she so scary, but also so gosh darn cute?" Two words, Liam Vickers.

[@he-in4hc]

Did you notice that, Liam not only animated and directed this, but ACTED in it. He’s does that for all his animations.

[@hallofguns8174]

I think you were right the first time that he shot the sheriff. It is my theory he shot the sheriff then started telling these wild stories so nobody would suspect him. Also, I am pretty sure I have seen every reaction to the on KZbin and you are the only the second person to stop and read the newspaper. that is why I love your reactions, you try to catch every detail, like Cordi's eyes, and often pause to air our thoughts, I guess that is why you are called Airier.

[@black97_0]

Reporter: "calmly deranged grin" Airier: "I'm confused" Me: "Airier, ever seen yourself smile when you really get into something? Basically that, except 10% less psychotic"

[@Airier]

Nope. Can't see it. 😎😁

[@bigshotman8497]

@@Airier If you want some thing like murder drone he has another series named "Internection Cube" currently there are only 3 episodes fun fact: this guy was a production assistant in glitch techs

[@henriquebestgamer9206]

​@@bigshotman8497NO WAY, REALLY?! That's surprising!

[@scarystories1905]

If you’re on a Liam vickers kick then please react to his internection cube animatics! Easily some of his most horrifying visuals ever.

[@Airier]

That's the plan. 😊

[@TheArcSet]

@@Airier D-W-Flutter-YAY-K.

[@javieraravena5345]

A nice detail you missed: the square on the top right corner of the newspaper has readable text. It is basically the reporter begging for help getting out of the newspaper's building, since it is controled by monsters or entities that keep him there against his will

[@Airier]

😯

[@riccardobozzolan3792]

When I saw Murder Drones, I noticed the similarities between Cordie's design and the murder bots' (especially the predatory grin), and it made me wonder if, somehow, Cordie's species was used in-universe as a base to build N and his companions, like Colicoids and Droidekas in Star Wars.

[@sharkerxd9094]

I guess you can say that this series is, Scarily Cute

[@thebarrel1051]

I have some flash backs from "glitch"

[@williamhiegel2756]

I wish it was a series...

[@alexjewett7455]

Or maybe cutely scary.

[@cripwalker665]

That's Liam vickers entire aesthetic. Things you want to cuddle and then run away from.

[@Blasterfreund]

14:20 actually, he's wearing a vest and a denim shirt and her claws are clearly serrated. Serrated blades have a famously hard time cutting flesh through cloth (one of the reasons gambeson was effective with less then peak sharpness), which means she'd have likely penetrated him with only the very tips of her claws, at best causing negligible skin abrasions, as his clothing bunched up into the recesses of her serrations, supporting his weight and halting the cutting motion. the bigger question is how she didn't rip her claws chitin tips with that move. I'd assume cartoon logic or cryptic durability.

[@williamhiegel2756]

From what I’ve heard, Liam has tried to get studios to produce Cliffside, but no luck yet! Though Phinius and Ferb took over a decade for anyone to pick up!

[@insert-joke-name]

10:52 That applies to 80% of Liam's female characters

[@ShadowWolfRising]

You also need to react to his other videos 'Internecion Cub', 'Let's Split Up', and 'Murder Drones'. The dude is absurdly talented. I have no idea how no network jumped on this.

[@kirtil5177]

Big companies and studios only go for the safest and proved to be monetizable works, if they make anything even slightly new its either because they will go bankrupt otherwise or really trust a director or writer already working with them for years

[@firewarmicecold2954]

If you watched the videos in scary story time with liam you would understand

[@lewisbarclay9113]

That 'is' Vicker' specialty after all. Horrifying cinnamon rolls. And if you think 'this' is aborafying, then you haven't watched cube yet.

[@Sentinel_CYN]

“I is coward” The only statement needed for explenation.

[@doriantermini]

AirierGames: Keeps bringing up how no one has died The last few scenes: A giant dragon has died, a load of people in a saloon have been killed, a bunch of shadow thingies killed. hmmmmm...

[@AWest-en5ee]

I enjoy these in-depth reactions, very nice! And yeah, I'm pretty sure Two-Bit Jerry shot the Sheriff. That's probably what he was reminiscing about when he played with the pinecones... Anyhow, if I may ask, which mic are you using? The sound quality is really good!

[@Airier]

Shure MV7 podcast mic. Not even on the best setting either. I'm using it with USB, but it has hookups forxlr audio. Probably the best mic I've ever used. High range (like shouting) can break up a bit, but a more competent audio engineer than me could probably fix it up.

[@AWest-en5ee]

@@Airier Thanks! I might look into that one. Oh, and you should definitely look into internecion cube, it's pretty interesting!

[@TheArcSet]

:) I'm glad to see this, thanks for this reaction. I hope you can react to his 'Internecion Cube' pilots too; if it is actually backstory to Murder Drones then it might somewhat shift the tone, or at least genre, of that series, but I was amazed at the amount of subtle world building he packed in.

[@MisterMokuroh]

The trope is "Straight Man and Wise Guy."

[@mrroboshadow]

just wanted to say the Elk horned shadowy creatures were most likely based on Wendigos tall humanoid figures usually depicted with an Elk's skull and horns for a head...oh and they eat human flesh also with the bungie thing it seems pretty simple (though its just my amateur guess) when the sting went taught, it halted their momentum enough for them to land safely and then transferred the remaining momentum to the bird monster thing, causing it to be pulled down with even more force cause it then was affected by its own weight while falling and also the energy from their fall as well

[@Mal-4639]

You know what I question is why he questioned the physics of them bungee jumping from yannis (aka pterodactyl monstrosity) but didn't question how cordie (aka Adorifying cinnamon roll) could Literally SNAP A REVOLVER IN HALF BUT WHEN SHE GOT WAYLON DURING THAT BUNGEE JUMP SCENE SHE DIDNT SNAP HIM IN HALF

[@kennethjohnson7517]

Compared to internecion cube murder drones is light hearted cliffside on the other hand is very light hearted.

[@D_YellowMadness]

Adorrifying is the same term I made up to describe her when I watched this pilot.

[@SPEEDY4004]

26:20 if the sherrif was the pinecone then he most likely got his "cone milked" instead of getting shot mfg Olli

[@alexjewett7455]

"Never say those words ever again".

[@nickpossum3607]

This is a Wild West version of Star Butterfly Vs The Forces of Evil.

[@Ryuuu6581]

Thanks for introducing me to this hit up the og beforehand this is why I like react channels on yt this specifically finding new obscure stuff I missed so thanks =)

[@radioactiveassassin5218]

10:53 Please stop reading my mind, those are exactly my words.

[@Airier]

I refuse! 😁

[@Bondrewd__21]

When Waylon play with pinecones the one that the smallest wearing Waylon’s hat and scarf. There is a theory, that Waylon wait Sheriff to shoot bandit on train and accidentally do something and train go off of the rails and sheriff was shot by him when he was falling over a train.

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

Cliffside deserves all the love of this world.

[@williamhiegel2756]

Cliffside is absolutely amazing! I only first watched it recently and yet I've watched it so many times now! The straight man funny man always makes me think of mythbusters!

[@TARINunit9]

The giant evil pterodactyl's theme was made to contrast the rest of the music. In Laim's own words it's a "god awful trashy electronic theme". It gives me lots of nostalgic vibes because the guitar synths were popular in a lot of Newgrounds music back in the day

[@ObscureDraws]

The bulk of Liam Vicker's youtube work is on his "Scary Story Time With Liam" channel.

[@morphingninja]

I actually recognised this as something I've seen before and also had wished there was more.

[@cerberus0225]

I think the term you're looking for, rather than 'reverse lampshade' is 'fridge logic'. As in, you realize it while you're away from the show looking in the fridge for a snack.

[@RichyPink]

this guy manage to make a 31 minute video on 11 minutes of footage 😭😭 take a shot every time he pauses the video 💀💀

[@Cozm1k]

If you want dark, just look at Scary Story Time With Liam. Murder Drones is tame af compared to the horrible things he did to his characters.

[@firewarmicecold2954]

hahaha poor john

[@yourlocalchaosmaker852]

Theory for Waylon killing the sheriff: its possible waylon had killed the sheriff and acting dumb about it is actually very smart he acts bad and like a rookie no one suspects any thing about him it also explains why he doesnt wanna take a higher up role like sheriff or deputy, since if he suddenly became sheriff everyone would arouse suspicion about him. It also explains why he has the knowledge of manipulation tactics he said to death. Waylon is extremely intelligent in covering up his tracks and maybe that little pinecone toy thing that happend after the intro wasnt his imagination. It was a flashback. it would also explain why he shoots good when hes alone or with someone who doesnt know what the law is. In all seriousness if cliffside has a sequel pay close attention to Waylon. He may be more smarter than you think. I also saw the news reporter saying 20 people instead of 21. There might be a possibility Waylon keeps moving town to town to avoid suspicion? It also makes sense since he calls himself an "Outlaw". (Thanks for reading this little theory i made)

[@syweb2]

"Like 20 people" is a rough estimate, it means around 20 people or so and not an exact number.

[@yourlocalchaosmaker852]

@@syweb2 hm ok

[@somethinginspanish4753]

The first monster we meet at the start is a wendigo it's sort of the native American version of the werewolf I recommend you to do some research on it as it's pretty interesting in my opinion.

Im happy to see you react to this ☺️

[@TheRhuen]

something that occurred me for designer evolution/reuse/aesthetic preferences.. but Cordie + Internecion Cube = the design for Cyn in Murder Drones.

[@IronDino]

22:15 "I can see him getting bashed aside... but this is such a weird series, I can see this working out." How about both?

[@leod.v.3854]

Well i would recommend glitchtale by camila Cuevas, its a really good series that she finished recently, obviously its based around undertale with requiring to have some knowledge of it but im sure you will be able to pick up most things as you go and again, i highly recommend cause camila basically did a great job, only downside is there is not really any voice acting so your going to have to read (doesnt need to be a reaction if having to read is too much effort, i wont blame you but do recommend you at least watch in your own time)

[@mrshadow4007]

"Wait. He had the badge."

[@robertourdaneta2339]

yo i saw a really cool zeta gundam dvd on your shelf man neat

[@Airier]

It was an interesting show. Definitely showed its age compared to some of the animation later on, but it wasn't that bad (unlike what I heard about the series before going into it). 😁

[@delekmaster3991]

Yo, so just commenting since I've seen no one else mention it in the comment section yet. But to explain the scene at 20:58, according to research, female spiders will poke the males' eyes when they want to lay eggs. Or in other words, when they want to mate.

[@Airier]

Oh my. 😶

Those are definitely great characters. Although they technically count as different people at this point? I've only seen the first season of the anime, and nothing of the manga, but they did get into the entire sole merger thing.
