Think the Administrator was subtly helping them along with his own anonymous abilities, deciding he wanted a new O5-1?

[@arikutin1032]

@Yah Boi maybe the current council got a little too close at neutralizing the Administrator

[@SuperNormal_ParaNatural]

@Yah Boi the admin is not controlling anything. Its doing the opposite and actively creating dangerous situations. The foundation is the one protecting humans and if no one is there to "answer the call" then these dangerous situations will just be left unchecked. In the story the admin says something about who will protect people once theirs no one left to guard the cage. A big theme is ends justifing the means. At the end hes whole goal is to let the universe heal and make it a better place. That end is why he becomes everything he hates in the foundation head. His best bet to fight the evil he thinks the scp is, is actually the admin and the best he can do that is him doing that as the eco head as thats the best position to do so and since he killed the last one hes the only one that can do it. To destroy the scp Foundation is to destroy the resistance pretty much what he thought he was doing. There will always be someone to rise up against the foundation just like his friend and hell be killed by soemone more determined no matter how impossible and that persons motives that made him do that will be the same thing that makes him be the new 501. The admin even said go leave only me and you will know youve ever been here vut then ill be left unchecked. So that same person thats capable to take them down always chooses to be the new one aince its the same choice

[@mikethegoo]

Exactly. And the first two seem so disconnected from eachother and the rest of the thing. The only part that makes sense to me is 1. The foundation gets made 2. This shit happens 3. Council dies 4. The one who kills the last member becomes the new last member (05-1) 5. The foundation stays for a bit longer until this shit starts over again

[@Goofygooberston]

I'm sorry but "the way it ends" seems like it's written by a 15 year old who's just had a literature class and decided to write a fanfic with as many self inserts and in-universe contradictory things as possible under the guise of "but it is cool tho"

[@ThatKid22101]

on top of that the whole cycle could be undone if the dude simply pressed the button or, even better, killed himself, breaking the cycle and leaving no one to be O5-1 breaking the cycle indefinitely, heck I'm sure if he pressed the button he would die as well, it's so contradictory to the story development of the character, there was nothing really giving him the idea that he could be the next O5-1, no sense of temptation, no development, it just disregards who he is and the sacrifices made simply for the sake of subverting expectations, it's like making Danny from GOT go mad for madness sake but at least in GOT there were hints to it happening, references made and a minor amount of development towards that, but it was still forced and done entirely wrong, throughout the show Danny never hurt civilians, she only went after the people responsible, yet this one time she's like, nah fuck that, even though she had the opportunity to just go after the one person in charge. Character decisions not based on development are terrible decisions forced by the writer.

[@BluJay_Rx]

@@ThatKid22101 yea I have to agree with you. Typically I choose to ignore the little "plot" holes in some of these SCP videos. However the ending of "The Way It Ends" is honestly just trash. There is zero logical reasoning for the dude to "become 05-1" other than "people will die because of the scps". Correct me if Im wrong but none of these videos really seem to fit into a large overarching cycle. Like there are just a couple mini cycles and a few instances depicting the council abusing their power.

[@Joseph_Lambert]

You see, this is the writing of Djkaktus. His writing feels mostly like they are written by a 15 year old and he spends a egregious amount of time on any story. The reason why people love said stories is because they are long, so they must be written well. SCP-6666 is one of his many really long articles like everything else he does nowadays. Long, boring, shallow, and stupid. At least 6500 has an interesting premise- 6666 is just whatever it is. Katkus loses sight of how to write a story. He basically manages to make the scp foundation a evil reality warping group that has manipulated existence, makes sure the killsquad gets every single chance to bullshit their way out of things that would be impossible to survive in, stupid shit happens like the american riding 682 into battle (that’s just fucking retarded lol), and so forth. There are insane amount of contradictory statements and parts in a single chapter, and most of the assassinations are the same. It’s not just the video, because the video accurately represents what happens in the series in a shortened manner. The worst part is that the way it ends doesn’t even line up with the other 3 parts. Part 1, Part 2, and I guess part 3 manage to line itself into one cohesive fashion, but then part 4 is just some chaos insurgency jerkoff fest and “oh how much can i make the foundation evil”? He barely even makes them evil, by the way. They just show some instances of the council abusing their power a bit and a few are a bit screwed in the head, but that’s it. His stories are long and frankly pretentious. I believed his stories were good because.. Wala! Presentation! But they’re long, exhausting, and very shallow.

2 hours of scp, i needed this

@The Soul of Epstein Why the fuck would he need help

[@DaniMartVtbr]

Imagine Ouroboros as a nine film series. In its make are segments being the first three films, the second three films, and the third three films, obeying the narrative formula of "a trilogy series" across "The Hero's Journey". The problem with Ouroboros however is its inherent agency of self-destruction, for much like its living animal counterpart, that when a snake swallows its own tail it digests itself while still alive. Now imagine that this snake was venomous and with magical properties, that upon an eventual and agonizing death its post-mortem spasms envenomate its body, a feat of necromancy whereby the head of the snake is the now lost third three films, continues to now consume the second three films of its own body length. We're now at a point where the first three films is Yin and Yang to the last three films, a smaller journey trapped like a donut encased by the ever-reviving bite of the last three films, peppered in gastric juices of a disembodied second three films. This is the analogy of SCP anomalies randomly appearing out-of-place within humble beginnings while simultaneously are as black horses to an even-present state of near-apocalypse, that the looping of a simple start towards a simple ending miraculously back again without further growth, is encased by an absolute chaos incarnate to which it seems hapless but to avoid it by some fluke of continuity? The real trouble, the real horror of the Ouroboros Cycle, is only ever really known when the head of the snake will finally consume the first three films of its body length, dissolving itself into an immortal head of eldritch twitching. Desperate to bite anything it can, for when the hand that reaches for its mysteries finally does, as do the greatest authors of our time, the envenomation of reality courses through their veins of the now newly transformed serpent, that then and only then do we glimpse the tenth film that only a literary God could see, depicting what can only be described as "the tragedy of the serpent".

1:14:25 Wasn't expecting the casual rep with Adam

[@Fany792]

1:14:48 This man just wanted to have his parents, siblings and a boyfriend and Calvin chooses not to.

[@Chibanyuu]

Pretty much

[@uhnx]

This is so interesting idk why

[@TRquiet]

The irony of “The Spear of the Non-Believer” being used twice as a deus-ex-machina is enough to give Alanis Morissette a migraine.

[@CelticSamoan]

The amount of work that went in to this is amazing, thanks for the grand tale and animation.

[@mychemicalklance4991]

Can I just say that this has been the best explanation of the Ouroboros Cycle that I've seen on KZbin. The way it's formatted makes it much easier to follow along and the graphics help me image the scenarios. Thanks SCP Explained team!

[@GreatTrollger]

Best visually, they changed ending of The Broken God, and left out the Aaron Siegel arc of The Way It Ends, which ties all 4 proposals into one story and explains who The Administrator is

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

This is amazing. This is such a wild ride that having it all in one video is a great way to binge it. Thanks!

[@DrgnMastrim]

Oh wow, the ending that connected all of the stories together was certainly an eye opener on how all this is connected Though there is still a lot I don't understand about it, and still more theories that I have swirling around in my head that I can't quite type out right... I was never much a fan of SCP stuff before, but after finding this channel maybe 4-6 months ago I have been enjoying it more than I ever thought I might, so thank you!

[@nathanalexandre9043]

Not all of the stories were connected though, otherwise you'd have no questions.

[@rosearachnid879]

Loving how casually 4 of the overseers just died like that

[@prestonarmer277]

These are so well done thank you for all the content keep up the good work

[@seanc1630]

Thank you so much for making this video!

[@shadowsa2b]

But how is there an administrator if he got disintegrated by The Children, to recruit Calvin at the end of the How It Ends story? Are they the same universe and time line? And if 05-01 ran off after abusing the power of The Children, then how and when did Aaron become 05-1? Did the previous 05-1 who created The Children become the new Administrator who recruited Aaron and subsequently Calvin? I think The Administrator needs his own deep dive video

[@RaoaRahaga]

im wondering the same thing

[@shadowsa2b]

@@emil1842 that video is almost 3 ½ hours long

[@emil1842]

@@shadowsa2b Yes, but it covers everything about the ouroboros cycle, something that the videos from scp explained doesn’t. Some of the important things they have skipped is that Anthony in reality is another person that is very important to the story, but i don’t think he even is mentioned here. They have also skipt a huge amount of lore and they have modified the dialog beyond recognition.

[@jjthepikazard212]

administrator is probably just a position that gets replaced just like the o5 council

[@emil1842]

@@jjthepikazard212 in this story, the administrator is scp-001.

Got to love just how many different 001s their are lol

When Adam whispered "I love you" I almost cried God that part of the cycle is so heartfelt and carefully done.

Long stories like this and scp 5000 are amoung my favorite from the foundation. Truly beautiful.

I love these compilation videos! The voice helps too 👌

im so exited to watch this

[@choppertyrant21st]

I'm obsessed with these stories.... There's a couple other channels that I love too

[@zurao]

The end of "killing the 05 council" is frustrating af

[@Hurrai]

Idk quite how to feel after sitting here pretty hungover and watching the whole thing, but hey it was pretty good much like your other videos, thanks for doing what ya'll do, all the best ;]

[@WingsAboveCS]

Damn, an SCP channel working on large projects like this, keep it up! Would love to see more big projects like this and scp-5000

[@godzillatoons3947]

I think the entity that was Calvin Desmond knew that SCP-2317 would escape, so it was trying to destroy its reality as well as other deadly anomalies's realities while it's at it.

[@randomthoughtstheories6681]

I still struggle to understand how all of these are connected into one great cycle, does anyone know? What do they have to do with each other.

[@EEe-fn2sx]

I love how 05-6 just casually rides 682 just a typical day at the scp foundation

[@misKathereinesoltow]

I dont know where you guys come up with the stuff but thank you i do enjoy watching them.

[@shaggy8580]

If that weapon can vaporise anything then wouldnt they have the perfect weapon to end most if not all of the scp s ? And stop pretty much any K-class scenario instantly? Sure the hard to destroy reptilr might be immune even to this but i have a feeling that many scp s wouldnt be

[@noahnubiez]

Wow, This video was amazing!

[@sacredterrador5611]

The American didn’t need to ride 682 to join the fight. He literally just did that to flex on everyone. And I can respect that.

Ah yes, killsquad… the subtlest code name

Dude I can’t even be mad y’all did y’all THANG on this

[@Waallelujah]

Don't forget that Calvin brought back Olivia as 5-02 in the most fucked up way possible, forcing her to carry on The Nazarene's curse.

[@bartekltg]

I think it wasn't mentioned: the power of the kingdom and the power of the kids looks exactly the same. 05-1, after disappearing created a new church/kingdom (he became more spiritual already), still somehow wielding that power (kids are still alive) thus closing the cycle.

[@GreatTrollger]

Me when I'm spreading misinformation on the Internet: (In actual story he formed the Chaos Insurgency to destroy Foundation, believing that Council created anomalies like The Administrator, which faked Kingdom of Abaddon to create the children, before going back to find new Administrator during The Broken God to Foundation, and finding "The Seed"(The Way It Ends administrator, conceptual entity in fabric of reality tied to Foundation) continuing legacy of "The Man"(Original Admin) and going back to Foundation to defeat it and stop anomalies)

[@joedad9999]

Wow, that part about killing the O5 is so cool! Anybody else get huge stardust crusaders vibes?

[@xx-dp-bw-xx2546]

Nah

[@graysonloyd9024]

I could listen to this man talk for days!

[@Friedrice12121]

This is an actually insane amount of animation for one video. How long did it take you to animate?

[@noahaustin9011]

I like this animation. But ot skips over a few crucial points in the story. Like how the heart of the broken god was manufactured using another SCP, and Anthony's drinking from the fountain of youth.

[@noahaustin9011]

Also that "the administrator" was a reality bender that was responsible for the kingdom of abaddon. That 05-1 killed the administrator when he found this out, and that 05-1 is the one who started the Chaos Insurgency. But that the administrators meddling with reality started a chain reactio of scps appearing in their reality.

[@kaenryuuart543]

People: 2 hour scp?!?! I'm in! People who have watch it before:

[@danterodriguez03]

I just love that Adam's perfect reality is one where he is married to the squad lider Kalvin, because in 99% of movies when there is a squad like this one they all go for the woman, and here they just said "fuck it, she has her own perfect life, this two, gay as hell" and I think that beautiful
