Nefarious: Be More Chill: ANIMATIC

How does a father train his son to become a super villain? You figure the most important lesson to teach him would be everyone's going to hate your guts. So you might as well take everyone's vile spewing opinions of you and take them as complements. Because after all you're the bad guy.
I know his name is Crow not Jeremy. Just roll with it.

[@calliecature]

What's chilling about this is that, compared with the original play where Jeremy just met the squip, this entirety is a summary of Crow's possible childhood: normalized emotional abuse.

[@Negasonic100]

@Nat A good villain knows exactly how to handle such things. Prepping his son to handle the 'abuse' of villain life style would be part of that.

[@Negasonic100]

@Nat >.> so? Lol. I know.... I didn't expect a response back, just putting my opinion there

[@MelonHere20]

Yeah...

[@ClumsyReaper]

There is an odd dichotomy here. In both the “advice” is clearly not the most good mentally, but in the original it is clearly hostile, while this is more of a “toughen you up” situation, even the quite “repeat after me” moment feels less “accept you suck as you” and more “take what they say and embrace it, then throw it in their face.”

Me: *calls 911* Hello i like to report domestic abuse.

[@isekaistation3682]

Even though he's was abusive he successfully made the greatest villain in history and we thank him for that

[@joshhano]

Wow! this is incredible. Even though I've only drawn Buzzard from the waist up, I think you got the idea of the character down. Bravo, well done. I can't wait to see more! and I'll be sure to blast this on Nefarious channels if that's okay with you.

[@BowgalleryA]

OMG! You can definitely do that. Thank you so much for that kind words. ^_^

[@malord6686]

Josh Hano After this, I wonder how Crow's father (if Buzzard is his father, I have no idea) would react when he hears about what he did in the events of Nefarious.

[@diamondgirl5806]

he would be a proud dad

[@demonfangify]

Heh, remember when the part comes that Crow is breaking down from the abuse the captured civilians are throwing at him? Crows dad then gives him a gentle pep talk...and then when hes comforting him he goes into full super-villain mode along with a good dose of "Papa Wolf" mode to activate the collars on their necks as a way to punish them and make his son more chill to what his future enemies and victims of Villain-hood will say to him. Buzzard is a good Dad! I love it when Villains show that they truly care about their children, especially when it shows that even villains can have someone they love, and you sure a heck better not mess with them...because unlike the hero's...they don't hold back on their revenge.

[@kendallcarroll3735]

Speaking of which, not that it matters, probably will, but.... Where's crow's mom?🙁

[@arkaix]

This crossover is freaking clever. Love Be More Chill, love Nefarious, and is this kind of canon? Is this how Crow started to see himself as a villain?

[@BowgalleryA]

Will, Crow did say his dad taught him everything he knows. And he talks about his lineage as a villain as away to be respected. He basically disciplines himself in this mindset so I just thought about it that way as I ran with the idea for the animatic.

[@Bloxmon-dk1ms]

Maybe Becky just enforced it.

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

I'd say Crow can be Jeremy. Maybe Jeremy is what only family gets to call him.

[@dracokitty7113]

KZbin University so his real name becus maby crow is only his villin name

[@MaluuniRosa]

Okay, so seeing some mixed comments on this being emotional or verbal abuse and some on how Buzzard truly seems to be loving to Crow here and making this a father-son bonding time, and after watching this more times than I care to admit, I think both sides are right and wrong. Let me explain, I know that sentence seems to not make sense: We kind of have to remember that Crow in the game and even a bit in the webcomic can be a bit... dorky, we'll use the word 'dorky' here. In the dating game portion, none of the options for Mayapple's question on if he views himself as a villain is an actual "yes." This is a guy who is proud of his lineage of well-known villains (I'm saying well-known bc tour guide Bill says so). Plus, the minions' portion at the Museum shows he's very capable of caring for others, a lot more than a 'proper villain' likely would in this world. At the beginning of this animatic, Buzzard might be training/telling a younger Crow what people, and likely even other villains expect/say towards him. Could be very wrong, honestly, the beginning can be taken many ways on how Buzzard and Crow could have interacted with each other. What convinces me this is just training/Buzzard preparing Crow is the next part where they walk into a crowd that clearly were subjected by Buzzard or previous family members. They already had those collars that are used later by Buzzard to make them say good things towards Crow. I honestly think Buzzard is smiling/grinning at the crowd as they say "everything about you suck" as if to show an example to Crow of how to act, take such words as compliments to your villainy. That or he's showing off Crow to the crowd. Because if you ever an evil overlord with an empire, and you have an heir to it, you're probably going to show your kid off to your subject. I'm sure if this world these characters are a part of had "The Lion King" as a movie, Buzzard's way of introducing Crow would have been the same way Rafiki first presented Simba (by the way, if that isn't a thing now... someone make that thing, either Buzzard holding Crow up like that or Crow with his potential future kid, someone make this a thing). Crow obviously can't take on the verbal abuse from the crowd, and of course, the crying everyone feels the need to hug Crow now moment. Buzzard obviously feels remorse when noticing that. The fact that when he turned to Crow, he had an arm outstretched as if to direct to the crowd and had a smile on his face makes me think even more that Buzzard was preparing Crow for this. The 'repeat after me' part is... dodgy at best. I think this is where most of the abuse comments come from and yeah, it really does paint it that way, doesn't it? When considering the rest of this essay I somehow am writing as a comment, the gestures, and how Crow starts to kind of notice how the words are just that, words... Buzzard could also be telling and teaching Crow at that moment that this is how people react to villains. This is how people view their part. This is how in every 'normal' person, they can also be terrible and will say these sort of things to him in the future. Why not embrace it if it's part of the job? Then cue Papa Wolf part. Nothing to say here than point out all the dorky and adorable parts: -Crow being held by Buzzard as Buzzard forces the crowd to say nice things to Crow is oddly adorable for bad guys and we see how Buzzard became a badass villain I want to see in his own game. -Crow also imitating his father's poses just makes him more 'dorky.' That is a quick way to make any villain adorable in my opinion. - 2:57 Buzzard's main dorky dad moment. This only convinces me more that this was a 'meeting the crowd' thing and Buzzard showing off his kid this them. This moment, in all its 2 to 3 seconds, pretty much can say "I'll what I made! It's your next boss!" and no one can convince me otherwise about this moment. - 3:04 ... More dorky Crow. If you managed to read all of this, thank you and I apologize for the comment-turned-essay.

Actually I was thinking Malice would be the one singing. It makes sense in the Context of what I'm thinking on how to make the animatic but.
