[@denveroconnor1740]

you know i wouldn't mind a nefarious 2 game. mabe where the syndicate of malice is taken down by a new villain who is wanting to get rid of compition and now it is up to a reluctant crow to gather both heroes and villains together to stop this new mighty villain and his nearly invincible army. it would make a good game and allow a game that is double what the first game was. i could imagine crow would try to fight this new villan himself first only to fail and realize that there is no other way.

[@nog6082]

Bro I was thinking of something exactly like that.

[@CD-77]

This sounds like a great concept!

[@larsthememelord3383]

maybe crow loses all his powerups trying to fight the new villian but it would be in character that crow only wants to take the new villian down because he sees him as competition and crow is secretly trying to overthrow the syndicate too because you need to save the backstab for the important moments and since he didnt get the bad ending he still has a backstab saved up also hes capable of getting all the heroes and other villians in one place

[@chrisschoenthaler5184]

New villain shows up and trashes each major hero and villain in each kingdom, and the game starts with Crow trying to take him down and failing. Crow sets out to unite the defeated villains and overthrow the Ultimate Overlord… and they fail. Then the union of heroes arrives… and also fails. The two forces have to reluctantly work together (in an alliance filled with constant witty banter) to vanquish this common enemy. As soon as the dust settles, the heroes immediately turn on the villains and the team of villains has to work together to counter this sudden but inevitable betrayal. The princesses (and Malachite) are all disappointed in their respective “heroes” for breaking the truce first, but the villains back up their decision. “We were totally going to stab them in the back anyway, they were just quicker on the draw.” Epilogue: The status quo is pretty much restored, but now everybody gets together for pizza and poker every other Saturday night.

[@kriegermaria9923]

yepp and the other dude is jelly

[@calliecature]

This animatic made me think about Crow and Mayapple's friendship throughout the game and the free comics (sorry I can't afford to be a patron). Mayapple believe so much to the power of friendship that she calls Crow, her kidnapper for 6 years, as her best friend. In the "It came from the Wa-verse" comics, Crow isn't even denying it anymore. Now with this animatic, it has shown me what would be the consequences of Crow opening up to his bonds with other people. Whether he admits it or not, the game has shown that he and the other characters have grown on each other. With Mayapple always pushing, always believing in their bond together, Crow is starting to break. This causes friction with other people, particularly Becky and Mack. Becky, I would understand, she needs her boss to be evil if she wants to achieve her goal. Unlike Crow, she seems far colder, detached and more focused on being evil. I believe she loves the power and control that it gives her. While Crow just wants to be a villain because he believes it's what he's good at. For Mack, however, I want to roll my eyes at his jealousy. It's like he's been reading all those Mario jokes of why Princess Peach always gets kidnapped. I might have considered his doubts but in the game, Crow and Mayapple never even showed that kind of chemistry that he should be worried about.

[@Waikeur]

Man that's some analysis you just gave us ...

I think Mack knows that Mayapple is fallung in love with Crow and he's sad because he still lovers Mayapple .. also thanks for the explaining it helped a lot 😄😘😍

[@jonasjensen680]

[@Bloxmon-dk1ms]

I like that. That would be fun, like Becky is using Crow, and she has to be defeated. Or something like that.

[@fist-of-doom487]

I like to think it’s a thing for them at many points. It feels like a love triangle sort of formed in the game between Crow, The Princess and Mack. Crow tries to take over the world, Mack and Crow fight, she ends up distracting or making Crow lose focus and Becky pulls him out and they retreat. She’s Crows weakness basically.

If you don't know it is an traditional platform game but as you play as a villain now you know you can even play the Game if you want

[@Nopenguin4875]

There is a Nefarious web comic too that happens after the game

[@deman182]

I love how Farrah Day went straight to Crow

[@masterofdimensions7928]

This is what i think the story of this is: Crow and Becky kidnap the four artificial princesses from Adept Co., and use them to power their machine, using it to take control over the world populace. When Mack and his friends arrive, this puts a dent in their plans, even more so when Mayapple jumps in. A while after, Crow begins to dance with the princess, with some encouragement from Princess Farrah Day. Both Becky and Mack are discouraged by this exchange, Becky because it slows down their plans, and Mack because he's jealous. When the crowd begins to cheer Crow on, it looks like his days as a villain are numbered. But then, Becky flies in with the Death-Pod, grabs him, and escapes. This shows that Crow could be redeemed from being a villain, and become the hero of the story.

[@unityisdead9047]

*looks at comment* Seems legit

[@idiocyincorporated7635]

I also think Becky has some feeling for crow but i could be wrong.

[@giraffedragon6110]

Just once I'd like to see Crow get his own happy ending. Or at least a AU where he's a hero and a certain blue knight is the villan ,which I understand is counterintuitive but hey a person can dream.

[@chewyuanqiang]

I like how this animatic while it follows the Rainbow Rocks song. It somehow... feels like it combines both the good and bad endings of the Nefarious game. Feels like what would have happened if Crow commits to being evil and tries to use the doomsday device and Mack tries stop him like in the bad ending, but also Mayapple stopping Crow and Becky with Crow opening up to the friendship a little like in the good ending. I know that it's not supposed to be like that in this animatic. The setup makes me think about it.
