[@insertfunnyname8296]

Technically in the canon Saint has repeated his cycle nearly infinite times. I love to think that something like this has happened at least once in his life :) But people seem to forget the effect that infinity has on creatures. Yes, Saint has probably done this. Yes, Saint has killed for fun. But what is even more terrifying to me? The condition Saint is in at the time of the campaign. Think about it. He has repeated his cycle so many times that he has seen all of it. Every nook and cranny of the world, every variation of every creature, every kind of death and rebirth, all of it. Over. And Over. And over again. He is not simply beyond the cycles, not just aware of them, but the very essence of his mind has been made eternal. Nothing matters to the Saint, not pain or death or even failure. A being that has been so utterly defeated by the uncountable eons that it has spent in the cycles that it has become a literal force of nature. Uncaring, unrelenting, unstoppable. You could kill Saint a thousand times, a hundred thousand, and he would return. You can build the mightiest of walls to keep him out, but his patience is such that he can wait as the passing eons erode your castle. Nothing can stop the Saint, for he has seen it all. He is no longer conscious of what he does. He is a cold, heartless, and unfeeling savior. That is what terrifies me more than any unhinged version that I see.

[@taityrell7922]

Wow now that you have to think about that

[@insertfunnyname8296]

​@@undefinedundefined1752 Of course. I will accept no other option.

[@rotomfan63]

Honestly it reminds me of the Iterator Logs series from Dazombies. Sooner or later after being this powerful and having no other way to break the this bullshit, why not become god? At least then it won't reset again if nothing else. Plus i'd argue whatever deities set up Rain World's cycle are bastards who should be dethroned in the first place, it seems Saint has come to the same conclusion but just can't find the gods to take it out on. Maybe that's why Saint brain blasts the void worm even.

[@Emperor-Quill]

"We weren't designed to ascend, and it drives us mad." Moon laments over the situation the Iterators exist in, but as we know, even Iterators eventually can collapse, die, rest. Saint has no such solace. They exist permanently within the cycle. Ancients couldn't ascend, and made Iterators. Iterators couldn't ascend, and one of them made Saint. Saint cannot ascend. Saint cannot ascend.

[@TheCarmenStar]

Its a cut song from Weirdmageddon. They only got an early version of the instrumental and a demo from Niel, but then it got cut, possibly because there wasn't enough runtime to squeeze it into without having to sacrifice another important scene. And yes, it was supposed to be sung by Bill

[@AngelsonClan]

[@Carniii_vore]

@@Jray608 It’s a scrapped song sadly

[@huntiehunterslime]

This is really interesting because in the beginning Saint won’t even throw a spear or eat a batfly, but as he visits the echos, he becomes power hungry. While at first glance, this might look like an exaggeration from the actual story, the longer I think about it, this is pretty much what happens. He becomes a god and even tries to ascend the void worm. He just gets rid of anyone who gets in his way, also completely defying gravity. I think you did an amazing job of capturing this and thank you for making such an amazing animation!

[@doreew]

I think it's the triple affirmative of SS. Affirmative that a solution has been found, affirmative that the solution is portable, and affirmative that a technical implementation is possible and generally applicable. He just do his work

[@chaotixthefox]

He is merely fulfilling his purpose.

[@Not_meant_for_public]

Nuh uh

[@jessiesowter]

My headcanon is that they were somehow created as a "slugcat messenger" by the major void worm, but upon seeing how cruel the ascension thing is, they reject the void and attempt to kill the void worm.

[@Pizza_kid_Dizzy]

Pov: saint downloaded lots of mods and also turned on dev tools

[@mildlymarvelous]

This is so well done!!! My favorite part is how Saint defies gravity in such a relaxed way, not stiffly T-posing but instead lounging on the air with so much sass. My favorite segment is probably the animals turned into statues, the jump-cuts one after another really hammered the horror home.

[@rotomfan63]

awesome! i love when people have unique styles with how they draw the Slugcats and other RW creatures. this is a very interesting alternative take on Saint's character, and i'm gonna be honest - when i first witnessed Saint's campaign, i felt a bit unnerved by how they could just "kill" things at will like some sort of deity, and with them turning into an Echo in the end, i'm not surprised people would eventually interpret Saint's actions and their character itself as more insane and cruel. very good animatic!

[@nessaoku4215]

Saint can either be depicted as the most 1. Kind person 2. Insane crazy green bean who has come to end all cycles But seriously that devious smile saint makes when causing chaos is amazing

[@SylvisNuvara]

saint is more of an all powerful god than the iterators are honestly. we have no idea how long he's truly been around, but the general knowledge is that his cycle is infinite and transcends all other cycles so basically, you could compare him to a Great Old One people see him as kind and friendly because he doesnt kill anything with spears and he's fluffy but his mission has and always will be to ERASE everything from the cycle by murdering them with god powers. I feel like an insane, carefree, silly and slightly sadistic god depiction fits "saint" more than anything else. he knows nothing can stop him. he knows everything about the cycle. he knows far more than even the Ancients did. he's unstoppable and his deeds were so atrocious that he became an echo.

[@bluphenyx]

​@@SylvisNuvaraI mean, it's not one's deeds that cause someone to become an Echo. It's a mortal attachment to the world that does- either some kind of drive, or a mission. Saint was brought back (allegedly) because his job was not done, but the craziest part is that he rejected echoification and became fully corporeal again.

[@Ninjetterfox]

This reminds me of how my oc finds out he's a secret animus, and then he eventually uses all of his powers, not knowing the consequences, leading up to him enchanting his lover to forget everything they had together (how they met, even his name, his name is Crescent, and yes they're dragons.) and then Crescent goes insane, draining his soul, and either realizes what he's done, or drowning himself. The good ending is where his lover (Autumn suddenly remembers everything, while they're in a pitch-black cave, Crescent standing in the exit/entrance, at this point hes already lost his mind and forgotten everything about himself (his personality, traits, that he even had a lover to begin with, etc) and then Autumn says, "Crescent..?" Making him just stop, and realize what he's done, (he basically turned out to be how Darkstalker was in the books, he offed the dragon whom found him at the beach, lost, and taken him home) And yeah, I don't know if I should choose the bad ending, where he drowns himself in a river, or he realizes what he's done, and goes sane. What do y'all think it should be? The bad ending, or the good ending? (And yes, I copy and pasted this, because I’m too lazy to retype it)

[@panoraxe]

I think its actually canon that saint went batshit insane with power and the literal infinite amount of time hes spent in one single cycle the echoes slowly make them power hungry, they crave power and despise the infinite amount of time, hence the insanity.

[@trishschamont8961]

Am I the only one that thinks Saint is already evil? Not in an insane way that seems to be portrayed in the video, but in an egotistical way. My first impressions of the Rubicon arenas has me invision Saint thinking this in their head: "How dare you stand in my way... My power is greater than yours will ever be!" Followed by a loud pang
