Animator vs. Animation 4 (original)

The struggle between a stick figure and its creator, a computer animator. In this fourth installment, the animator is finally shown in real life interacting with his computer monitor. The stick figure, resisting his tormentor, attacks his social life by hacking his Facebook account, traveling onto his iPhone via USB cord, and drawing animations of his own to dismantle the animation interface.

@@Emily12471 It has been shown they can do stuff besides destruction at the start, also before that Alan didn't know they were capable of destruction, he tortured them and gave them intense trauma which is what lead them to destruction and I'm pretty sure alan knew that.

[@VoxVocisCruora]

@@ngspace9829 There are some subtle hints that suggest Alan's at least slightly protective of Orange and the others, and that he genuinely cares for them. The strongest is in the "The Virus", where multiple times, Alan intercepts the Virabot to keep it from attack Orange and then the others. To the point of catching it with the cursor at it lunges down at them, a move that gets his cursor dissolved and renders him helpless. The live-action shot of Alan desperately tapping his stylus on his tablet before switching to his keyboard to try to restore the cursor makes it very clear that he's panicking, he's trying desperately to get control of the situation. He's scared for Orange and the others, because now he can't DO anything to help or protect them like he had been. And it's not just Orange and RGBY, either. It's hard to miss, but Alan doesn't just _fight_ TDL in the Showdown, he is actively assisting The Chosen One, strategically. And being careful to not hurt HIM accidentally. He explicitly protects Chosen from Dark, at least once. After Dark summons the blades for the first time, in the underwater shot, Dark lunges towards Chosen to try to stab him, and the Cursor intercepts the attack, taking the stab itself. Later, in the zoomed out shot showing what Alan's seeing of the fight, Alan throws rocks at Dark to interrupt Dark using lasers to attack Chosen, and to distract him from focusing on Chosen. It's not much, but it does suggest that there's at least a LITTLE BIT of care there. That at least in that moment, for a united cause, Alan cares for Chosen's well-being. The next strongest example that he's fond of them is the short "Feel Better". That short makes it very clear that Orange and the group like (probably even love) and care about him, and that those feelings are reciprocated. They're not just stick figures he's tolerating living on his computer in exchange for Orange's animation skill, they're HIS stick figures who care about him. And who he's grown to like/love over the years as well. There's a *genuine* bond there. And that's what the ending scene here is supposed to show. It's meant to show that, despite the rocky start, Orange and Alan are on genuinely friendly terms. That Alan has started to change. Perhaps not fully, not yet, it's only been five months, but enough. It shows that he's learned not just how to be a better artist, but how to treat the sticks better. He has started to become a better person than he had been before. Alan, as the Animator, as a character, is still steeped in mystery and there's a lot we still don't know about him or how he sees the stick figures. There's still a lot of those unanswered questions, and there probably always will be. But it's clear that his relationship with them is more than transactional at this point. He's shown concern for them. He's protected them. He plays with them. They are far more than JUST stick figures to him at this point. And Orange especially is far more than just free animation labor to him.

[@superlagbro192]

AvA3 shows that stick figure sentience was a known phenomenon, with stick figure rights being a hot button topic at the time, which just makes it even funnier imo. Dude knew for years than stick figures were sentient beings, and only stopped abusing them once TSC proved useful. Alan never really changed or grew, he only got better about his treatment once he had a selfish reason too.

[@BitrateBilly]

i think he wasnt really gonna torture the stick people, he was just more or less frightened at the idea of another PC getting fried, he doesn't try to pull anything fancy with the stick figures when he sees them acting up, he just removes them as quick as possible

Not even Alan Becker, let alone the almost 200 million people who've watched this, could've known the legendary series that would arise from this video here. 8 years of dedication and amazing storytelling, animation, and honestly pure genius, and it all started here.

[@elchile336]

No, it hasn't started here. It started in an even older video called "Animation vs Animation I", where Alan draw a black stickman, transforms to symbol to give it life, and call it "victim". At the end he only closes the painting window without saving and saves his PC. Then comes "Animator vs Animation II", in where Alan draws another stickman, again black, and converts it again to symbol, calling it "The Chosen One", starting to destroy everything around it with its OP powers. Alan at the end manages to transform the drawing into an AdBlocker. Finally comes "Animator vs Animation III", where the stickman with a 1000 IQ movement manages to release itself from that job, and starts to take revenge on Alan's PC. He creates a red stickman, which calls it "The Dark Lord" with the mission of destroy to "The Chosen One". At the end, the black stickman manages to convince the red one to ally to it, and both sum eachother's forces to destroy completely the PC and escape from it with an offscreen exit (This action is the start of the scenes of "Animator vs Animation V"), giving Alan an BSOD and making him lose his computer. Then, 3 years later, he buys a new PC, and starts doing his things in it, until we see him drawing the orange stickman we all know as "The Second Coming". This is the start of "Animator vs Animation IV". After this, SC (Acronym of "Second Coming"), in a branch of the timeline, he finds the Minecraft Block, starting "Animation vs Minecraft" and then the 30 "shorts" that follows the story. Maybe someday Alan will make "Animator vs Animation VI" or "AVM short 31" or maybe a new time branch we don't even know yet.

This really hits different after all the time we spent watching these guys evolve into individuals with well fleshed-out personalities, gaining skills/powers, becoming best friends and making new friends along the way. Makes you see it in a whole new context. Edit: Also, rewatching this made me realize something: There seems to be a pattern with Red where in the majority of instances, if not all, he's the first to go down whether by getting deleted or incapacitated in any other way. That's mostly because he's the most impulsive one and the first to jump into action, but it happens here too, while he's not even doing anything Alan decides to delete him first through Task Manager. He also seems to be the one to attract trouble the most.

You know, it's been a long time since I saw your first "episode" of these animations. Guess it's close to 8 years, and that would have put me in the 6th grade. The whole concept was my favorite, and I used to be really into sites like stickpage and all their stick fight animations. I never thought I would come back and see numbers 3 and 4, and 4 being such a profound watch. In 13 minutes I saw what is now probably not even close to being one of your biggest projects, but made me feel connected to you in the craziest way. Since I'm now in my sophomore year of college studying computer science, it's so strange thinking about middle school watching your first animations. And it's amazing how far you went with it. It looks like you've done really well for yourself doing something it seems like you love, and maybe I'm just a big sap, but there was more emotion roiling in me from this video than a lot of movies I've seen. The scene where you pan to your workspace and see all these concepts you threw out or stopped and the stick figure finishing them, perfecting them. I could see this point where it made sense, that the reason you're doing what you're doing now is because 8 years or so ago you made this funny little animation about an animator defending his work from his creation, and now from just that you've become such a fantastic artist and it's all thanks to that little bastard who killed AIM. I'm glad you stuck with it, and I wish I had the passion, patience, and dedication for the things I love that you do. I hope you keep doing it. But for me, nothing you do will ever compare to this. You have touched my heart, and it just makes it really special. I hope you read this and it makes you smile, and thank you for the nostalgia from 12 year old me, and thank you for... You know, I don't know how to say it. But I think you know what I meant when I said this animation is special. So just thank you.

[@alanbecker]

After the 11th episode and seeing this again, we never saw Alan convert a symbol on TSC and he just suddenly moves. And seeing the animations come to life by just uploading in the internet, we could assume that TSC is like the others but an early bird, woke up right away during animating & without uploading, and a definite anomaly or animation paradox.

in simple: the second coming is stronger in general without using his powers, explaination: yes the second coming uses his power but in general hes stronger then the figures, red, blue, yellow, and green are known as "Internet Figures" as they are code and are in the internet, however the second coming is an "Animation Figure" and they vary strength by they're name, as you see in AvAV, animation figures are stronger than internet figures for some reason so in general hes stronger.
