[@TheGeneralMoe114]

Wow! Amazing job, the animation, location, sound and voice acting, effects and story where spot on! Another great addition to the army men stop motion community!

[@jacksalyers3379]

The General Moe G'day General!💂

[@Schiftel]

Most of the voice acting is from a game "Company of Heroes"

[@mikewong2440]

I do have to call it tho... 7:28, you cannot pen an Abrams, or most MBTs for that matter, with one hit. Even APFSDS isn't that juiced up.

[@Aeonearies]

Yes you can pen an Abrams, especially because that tank was a British Challenger 2

[@sallystorey2763]

Hollywood people seeing dis be like what do u mean

[@Fourwheeljive]

Wow! As a creator on KZbin who does stop motion movies, I’m blown away by the quality of stop motion I see in theses movies. I know the amount of work it takes to produce just a few seconds of film much less a few minutes. Amazing!

[@phillipmejias8953]

My parents: Awww, they’re having a little war..so cute. Me and my friend: OPEN FIRE OPEN FIRE! PRIVATE JIMMY GIVE SUPPRESSIVE FIRE. CALL IN THE BLACK HAWK!!

[@VK-jy3pi]

Captain : Watch our flank! INCOMING!!! *Artillery Shell hits* Corporal : MEDIC! MEDIC! Private Bill has been hit! *Sounds of a tank moving and its engine* Captain : Ahhh.... Sh- *Get's shot by the tank* Medic : OHHHHHH, F***!!!!!

[@random_commenter6904]

Sargent: *HOLD FIRE* it seems like they are trying to say something *gunshots* ITS A TRAP PULL BACK Corporal Oscar: I NEED A MEDIC HERE GENERAL RAY HAS BEEN HIT General ray:GOD DAMMIT AHHHH Tank team: don’t worry tank is coming *boom* enemy defence down *another boom* second enemy defence down OH NO THEY HAVE A BAZOOKA ABANDON TANK ABANDON TANK *BOOM* Medic: IM HERE Corporal Oscar: too late General ray: bleh Parents: what are you playing Me: WAR with my friends My three friends:yep ( *moves men forward* )

[@g3tshotheett]

[@the4thtomato138]

Corporal: MOVE IN LET GO GO GO!! SEARGENT WE CAN"T HOLD EM OFF FOR LONGER!!!!!! WE HAVE TO FALL BACK!!!! Seargent: no let the tanks move in and [stops moving and talking] Kid No.1: [grabs laptop and starts playing kzbin.info/www/bejne/onW0aJuOgrGrfcU} Seargent: defend the lines! we'll secure the bathroom base and start calling reinforcements! Corporal: right you are seargent! I'll send in the tanks! Tank No.1 (callsign=tiger 3): alright, lets move! driver take us forwards! Tiger 3 driver: ok sir! [starts driving forwards] tanks tiger 1, 2,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 begin moving and are followed by panthers 1,9,3,4,612,134,12,34 and 818. Enemy soliders begin to rapidly open fire.

[@anmordi285]

[@danieltucker1430]

that was the best visual effects I've ever seen. this looks like a Hollywood movie. congrats

Squad Leader: *SENT IN AC130!!!!!!* Enemy: *AC130 ABOVE!!!!!*

[@GwenP00L3]

I really like how u switch to tactical maps, drone/aerial views, to the infantry cam. It gives you some "awareness" of the battlefield that I have never seen any war movie do. Seriously.

[@acosta9034]

Wow i cant believe i just watched a movie 😱🔥better than Hollywod 👌🏼👌🏼

[@HaySho-yo1ut]

Plastic apocalypse by mike and black star are insanely good

[@seandarager]

yo i get wat ur saying but dont underestimate hollywood

[@jayrico9606]

Miniwod instead of hollywod

[@blank557]

Hah! Just noticed the book "Dune" serving as a dune terrain piece. I see what you did there!

[@galenyoder9899]

I was super pumped when I saw the teaser a while back, and this definitely didn't disappoint! good job as always!! Super badass!

[@prstauro]

Funny, that's how I imagined it when I was a kid playing with plastic soldiers (early 80s) and dirt rocks.

[@Mickamations]

And this is what happens when you stay inside and watch army men videos all day. An entire war breaks out between little plastic figures in your neighborhood

[@beasalinas3088]

When is FC pt 4 coming out?

[@emilioalvesdelima769]

Fui Militar durante 8 anos, exército brasileiro. Gosto muito de assistir esse filme com bonecos de plástico. Tenho 43 anos rsrsrsrs. Meu filhos ficam rindo rsrsdss mais acham bom.

[@CasperTheRamKnight]

legal ksksks

[@anderso.nteles]

Eu tenho 32 anos e adoro ver esses vídeos, a história é muito boa. A única diferença disso pra um filme de Hollywood é que é feito com bonecos de plástico, se lançassem um filme com atores faria ia ser sucesso.

[@ksatria4li881]

Am I the only one that got reminded of Battlefield 2?

[@cameronkarus9602]

Same voice over from bf4

[@PaperAndHomemadeGuns]

Also radio effects on the background is from the Battlefield 2 Main Menu

[@kubin5080]

Phim rât tiec

[@jojeantesiorna779]

Yes

[@doodoofart3391]

Nope

[@bible91]

If you're looking for an honest opinion, Michael Akkerman could learn a couple things from you. You nail the special effects and the fire fights, the only thing he beats you with is story content (Dialogue, characters, that sort of thing) but it is understandable since your series is about the overall war and not the point of view of a certain soldier or unit. Congratulations, and keep up the amazing work

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+bible91 My videos are more mindless action whereas his are more cinematic and character driven. I like both.

[@bible91]

BlackStarInitiative "Mindless action" Tsk tsk Mr. Blackstar, don't sell yourself so short

[@Vulpine407]

Agreed. With just a few short radio messages you set the "story" up perfectly.

[@Ray-yv7kn]

@@BlackStarInitiative A collab with Akkerman would be nice.

[@Mn12074]

*-levi ackerman?-*

[@kingshah1902]

😳🤯🥰 The level of AWESONESS that I just experienced can not be put into words.. I LOVE IT‼️‼️‼️

[@filipinogang287]

I like that army men

[@t74guard78]

That is without a doubt the best stop motion I have ever seen. Such an incredible job, WOWWW!!!! Loved how the soldiers would go from standing to kneeling and vice versua. The gun and cannon fire and their effects was truely amazing. If your not in the film industry, you should be. If you are then that explains it.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Thanks. I just do it for fun.

[@lakebeaustudiosSDM]

Very well done i love this series! keep up the good work :)

[@aatrickey9films481]

Great short film! You have great special effects and camera cuts. I really enjoy your content. I have made my own stop motion and I would love feedback on what I could do better.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

I liked your channel, I left some comments on the vids.

[@MTRT55]

Just found your video great effects i will check out your other modern warfare videos as well.

[@MTRT55]

Can you also give me some feedback i am trying to improve my videos as well i really appreciate it

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+The Currentor You just need to improve your frames per second. Other then that you've got the right idea :)

[@susanegan9664]

BlackStarInitiative

[@tacticalmarine4175]

Just like a movie, I love these videos. Your editing is great.

[@waynehatchell3563]

Why am I easily entertained by this stop motion army men movie? It's dam freaking good that's why. A lot better than most films put out by Hollywood.

[@thatsaverygoodquestion856]

Kids before: *slaps* Kids now: "Let's settle this with army men."

[@kubelkampferin1245]

This guy deserves more views, likes and subs considering this video's quality as well as his first one of this series

[@Gilgamesh770]

Soldier's voices when there fighting are from battlefield 4 I'll never forget the engineer that always says "There lighting me up!"

[@mr._g_reyes385]

Back from childhood. Probably you will be the next Michael Bay director.

[@LeeEvilBlackMan]

Those battlefield 2 3 and 4 sounds really enjoyed the video just wish that there was a way making these is easier just so we can see more of them

[@raddactcontent]

Nothing can express what I feel about this stop motion

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Does that mean you liked it?

[@raddactcontent]

BlackStarInitiative yeah pretty much

[@202reece5]

Great film! The editing, the special effects, and the accuracy (historically) is great! I just recommend when soldiers die you put more spotlight on it. In this if a troop dies the soldiers carry on like robots without emotion. Even when the special forces team loses a guy they don’t care and carry on. It makes them seem like they don’t care for their teammates at all.

[@danielpickrell8311]

It's not that they don't care, usually you continue mission and after you kill the enemy/maintain suppression is when you can heal. Mission comes first. The moment you break the offensive to heal one guy or two is when you lose the offense and possibly the battle.

[@danielpickrell8311]

The mission outcome saves more lives

[@202reece5]

Daniel Pickrell But they don’t give a hoot and don’t even see if they’re alive or not, gun shots aren’t always fatal. Also, like a anime character once said p: “Those who break the rules of ninja are scum, but those who don’t care about their comrades are worse then scum.”

[@danielpickrell8311]

Naruto quote. But also in Naruto in big battles you can't always save a friendly. Look at the 4th Great Ninja war. You'll have a unit to save lives after the frontline is pushed up a bit for friendlies to come in and save the casualties

[@202reece5]

Daniel Pickrell I’m not really saying saving them, but not giving a single look, not even seeming phased about having a comrade die is not caring about a comrade at all. But I do see where you’re coming from.

[@absolutfreeman1033]

The best stop motion I've ever seen..

[@sharkgodzilla5354]

It's also cool how you make different kinds of stories and then in one point meet together and assist each other!

[@blank557]

Fantastic! This is what I imagine when I go "Pew! Pew! Pew! BOOOM! with my army men.

[@rickcolbert924]

Wow what a Great movie!. Fantastic special effects! Thank you for sharing.

[@brel1666]

at 9:15 i love when he get blow away

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+Lee Josey Thanks for the support

[@Pauligon606]

When I first watched this as a kid, I was confused of who is fighting who. Now I learned, NATO is fighting both the Insurgents and the Chinese.

[@eduardoconpintelse7377]

i love everything about your channel its like its perfect for me and even tho i havent watched this vid fully i know its gonnna be a good one

[@tryalman933]

beautiful video shows the fact that I usually these stop motion videos do not like me very much but this was fantastic

[@mr_soggie_on_twitch]

after all these years still a master peace

[@globglob42]

This is so good the the cgi and editing I don't know why you don't have at least one million subs

[@MinasMelas]

that nostalgic moment when you hear commands from battlefield 2 :P

[@kylegreenwalt3836]

I could watch this all day. You should try to send this to Hollywood this shit is awesome

[@dlavian5400]

That's incredibly well made. It is a lot of fun to watch. Thumbs up for your work👍

[@amistrophy]

The insurgents are like storm troopers, all the shoot is empty space!

[@joewilleck7457]

Awesome job with the video! I really liked the explosion effects and the AC-130. Hope to see more cool videos in the future!

[@clueless97]

Nice effects,good idea,best editing, Great video

[@herobmamangun9638]

When i was watching it was totally amazing and thinking that im in the vid but im 15 good old days BUT NEVER BEEN OLD

[@guypersonname4536]

better than the game itself

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

I really like the way you use computer added elements and your models are very well done. Gives a surreal look going across the living room. I wish I could pick your brains on how and what you use to make these videos as I have an idea I would like to try out.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+Alex Babcock You can find me on Facebook if you'd like to pick my brains.

[@galacarefordognapatmanop5095]

very very very very very cool I think is Best animation so cool! :)

[@copeious3045]

This was a real good stop motion, one of the best! My only critique, when the explosions happen shake the camera, it show the shockwave.

[@BlackStarInitiative]

+christopher cope Maybe next time, I'd have to figure it out.

[@copeious3045]

BlackStarInitiative with after effects, you can use twitch action in the menu.
