I still can't get over how Mike and Rich inadvertently ended up describing the God-Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40,000

[@kubli365]

I only just realized they did after watching this video

[@hebanker3372]

The moment Mike says ''big throne of machine parts'' you realize how uncunny the similarities are.

[@mikeforester3963]

The Emperor of Mankind is fed by millions of Ewok souls ... every daaayy? OH MY GAAAAAWWWWWWWWW-

[@LookingGlass69]

@@mikeforester3963 it broke new ground!!!!

[@Gum_Cuzzler]

Lol it’s not like Warhammer 40k really has any original ideas. I mean I like the lore but its just an amalgamation of sci fi and fantasy tropes.

[@jayfolk]

close, but the answer we were looking for was secret sith planet never mentioned in canon, inhabited by scores of imperial soldiers to fill hundreds of battleships...

[@homestuck_official]

We never see the cultists without robes so they COULD be ewoks for all we know

[@jonsmith5058]

Nonono, they arent soldiers, they are all mysterious cultists who spend all their time trying to clone new bodies for Palps (but making Snoke and Reys Dad who is inexplictably good and allowed to leave, somehow....), building Star Destroyers underground and fucking like crazy to ensure the population is large enough to support such an endeavor. So they somehow are master cloners, engineers you name it and amazing at brainwashing all their kids into being evil too (yet neither Kylo nor Rey’s Dad got proper evil brainwashing....) Its so simple and obvious I can’t believe they didnt predict it.

[@lazyyoutubename3468]

*Tens of thousands of battleships apparently. Which is even stupider.

[@masterxak]

I.E. the exact same plot of Dark Empire from the 90s

[@nothing4mepls973]

You really gotta ask yourself, if the empire can recover from its leaders being assassinated and its military destroyed every couple of years or so, meanwhile the "resistance" forgets it's own history in less than one generation and relies on child-soldiers, who is really the bad guy here? I'm not saying might makes right, but infrastructure implies civilization, which Star Wars oddly hates. They prop up scrappers and scoundrels and literal apes in a jungle as the "good guys" for no discernable reason. Sure, the bad guys blew up a planet, but they blew up so many death stars I've lost count. At least there were no abducted, brainwashed child soldiers on those! Except for Vader. Look, what I'm trying to say is the Jedi are basically Joseph Kony, Kony 2012.

[@CaptainPancakes]

The fact they never went with the Ewok death cult that worshipped Palpatine was a huge disappointment.

[@chosentonessournotes]

Seriously. I would’ve loved it.

[@JohnDoe-zx1ck]

I suspect RLM hit the nail on the head and they reshot the entire thing in response.

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

Yet

[@bananaempijama]

That would be so great

[@Melody_Raventress]

I KNOW!

[@Sam_T2000]

I see you took some artistic license in making them thinner and more attractive...

[@Hoganply]

Jay: Did he _intentionally_ make us all look like monsters? Mike: Actually, no. This is a photograph.

The MCU hasn't massively disappointed me yet.

[@kylefrank638]

@@FreakDaMIghet Get ready, the Eternals is just around the corner!

[@generalgk]

It feels great

[@blueplanet9917]

It's amusing. We still have many good movies we can re-watch, they are safe. I'm enjoying watching the current generation scrabble around trying to revive them or make their own versions... and failing horribly.

[@kylefrank638]

@@blueplanet9917 As far as franchises made *after* the turn of the century that are well-received, not infamous, and ALSO original, not drawing from source material like the MCU, LotR... what is there? I'm actually struggling. Like... John Wick, maybe? ... I almost thought Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but no, those were books first...

[@El-Burrito]

RLM animated is something I didn't know could be done. I love how expressive Rich Evans is!

[@Canukles]

Check out "Don Wilson and Dog Sitter" another great animation but the only other I know of

[@a7xruler]

@@Canukles plague of gripes' animations are top notch.

[@thetaytheist]

weezach wasn't the first, but he's one of the better.

[@Dyrnwyn]

Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah!

[@666deadman1988]

Rich Evans is the key to all this

[@shoopshowofficial7832]

This representation of Rich laughing is transcendent.

[@Samael527]

I wish the movie had Palpatine being essentially the God Emperor of Ewok-kind.

[@MaxFleye]

Rich Evans eyes are so lifeless...It's Perfect!

[@doppelganger9254]

its like a My Twinn Rich Evans doll

[@peteg475]

Rich bouncing around while laughing at 1:15 is next-level amazing. LOL

[@buzzclikverifyme]

The Mario 2 ending is friggin' brilliant

[@happybirthday146]

[@TheAdamisgay]

Gotta say, love the use of Rich Evans laugh as the bleeping mechanism.

[@newhampguy]

This is hilarious man!! Your animations are awesome, thanks for taking the time to do them!

[@JokersRWildStudios]

I liked this at “Hello Rich Evans.”

[@TheMannCrux]

I love how genuinely enthusiastic Mike gets in these discussion. Nice animation!

[@DUDERMANx]

The SMB2 ending was hilarious

[@dialamx1]

Cartoon Rich Evans looks like he’s the dad of Cartoon Pat Boivin from the animated Castle Superbeast stuff

[@mrdankhimself]

This would have been so much better than the movie we got

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

1:20 I need this shot on repeat for 10 hours please.

[@achromicwhite2309]

You get a like for the SMB2 reference at the end.

[@MaximiliaEnVT]

God, could you imagine these prediction videos were completely animated? that would be amazing.

[@Pulang_Diwa]

Ewok Deathcult is an awesome name for a Heavy Metal-Geek Rock band.

[@googleuser561]

this deserves WAYYYY more views

[@ardas77]

I DEMAND MORE

[@janefkrbtt]

This animation really showed how 2 men making terrible ideas are still much better than whatever disney did

[@ATalkingSock]

Kylo...arise...

[@ikumuertehelminosizunamide9789]

Is it too greedy to ask for more? Fantastic job having it with RLM

[@lnfreeman]

This is the first rlm animated I've ever seen :0

[@IndecentLouie]

I've watched this a few times and it never fails to make me laugh how you animated Rich laughing at 1:14

[@ZarconVideo]

this. this needs to be a thing. Like the animated game grumps

[@jor4114]

The Snoke sock puppet was a touch of perfection in an already amazing piece of art.

[@Buddy7550]

1:15 I love the laugh gesture

[@Opalance]

I love how close to it they were, the wreckage of the deathstar and barely being kept alive and on a throne of random machines, all charred. But ya know, massive cult of billions of evil sith people just on a planet no one can get to or from until everyone can get to and from it no problem and there's just a bigger fleet or more powerful, more useful star destroyers than ever existed on the one planet and...oh my gooooooood that movie sucked...

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@TomMSTie1138]

The little TIE fighters on Kylo's blanket are a nice touch.

[@gargamellenoir8460]

Just wanted to let u know this should have more views. this rules. Keep it up

[@alansmithee4927]

Saw ur new video on RLMs channel, great work

[@RatelHBadger]

The use of Mr Socko at the end, master stroke. How else would an ailing Palpatine reach out to a young impressionable KyloRen(tm). Sock Puppetry!

[@eros5420]

This would have been so much better than episode 9.

[@chosentonessournotes]

Fantastic work! I especially love the little nod to SMB2’s ending!

[@DM-kl4em]

They didn't get EVERYTHING right, but it's HORRIFYING how many things they DID get right in that Predictions video.

[@prince-solomon]

1:35 oh man those references are next level, awesome work!

I never thought someone could make evil teddy bears hugging a rotting corpse look cute but you proved me wrong

[@press_x_tojason]

Rich Evans laugh as censor is a good move.

bleeping curses with a rich laugh was an amazing choice

This is so close to tears of the kingdom at this point I think Nintendo follows you

[@smallmanbigmouth2699]

I love this! keep em coming! I’d love to see a bunch of RLM vids animated like this It’s scary how accurate they were... even though it was tongue in cheek haha

[@pthaloblue100]

That sock puppet, LMAO! Great animation Zachary.

[@finefornow1140]

But like, how does Palpatine eat?

[@grinshady0164]

I always assumed they meant like he absorbs the Ewoks' life energy.

[@simj202]

Not very well, given his appearance.

[@toddjones1480]

Through his finger, like how Mork drank on Mork And Mindy.

[@SuperTonyony]

@@toddjones1480 Or through a hole in his head, like Harvey Korman.

How dies he smell? Terrible!

[@CupCakeArmy1]

And he sits dead.... on a throne made of machine. That sounds familiar...... THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!!!

[@darthwatto]

[@ryanm.6005]

Kylo's tie fighter bedsheets are a great touch.

[@jacquiecotillard9699]

Every bit of this is excellent. You even gave Mike a look of earnestness and hope somehow

[@Kinanation]

Omfg the way you animated Rich Evans so good.

When a two minute animation of 40 year olds joking about Star Wars is better and more entertaining than Rise of Skywalker itself.

[@carrito1981]

I unironically love this idea. Better explanation as to why Death Star palpatine is still around, and if done right, you could de-cutify the Ewoks and in a way kind of redeeming them.
