The Rise and Fall of Astro Soup: GTA Online’s Hero

[@YasouriPawaito]

I miss Astro so bad... He was quite literally an ENTIRE phenomenon since when he uploaded as if it was a whole ass new episode of a very poplar show... Missing him is an understatement :(

[@PerfectedVenus_Monsoon]

Same, man

[@greenflamez]

Imagine he returns to KZbin when GTA 6 comes out

[@Remorsefulz]

That would be awesome

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

You just see a video by him of flying away from gta 5 and into gta 6 as his return

[@JetroYT]

Here’s to hoping

[@CritJ]

Wouldn’t count on it, when he said “i left because im a mentally ill r-word” I think some of us felt his hell. To me it sounds like he might have a habit of messing up good things that come his way, because he’s constantly struggling in his own mind. Hits home

[@Eddy-Online]

Gta 6 content is gonna be crazy😂

[@patriotic_car5944]

Astro Soup left his mark on GTA in the time he had, like Miami Vice, he left a massive impact on culture but was short lived

[@JetroYT]

Yeah, to grown as much as Astro did in 2 years is insane

[@sweep3190]

Cuckler definitely was inspired by his cinematography

[@MeeeHeee-z9u]

He never left GTA, I won't say any names, but he's been doing some things in RP. (and it's EPIC!.) Happy hunting ;)

[@JokerForLife]

Astro really made the best cinematic / commentary / documentary videos hands down!

[@badluck7286]

You know a person is legendary when the Op. Mk1 Goat calls him the best "I tip my hat to you, one legend to another"

[@darianthescorpion1132]

The saddest part is that Mage is STILL out there. The villain won, and it makes me sick.

[@JustSomeDude848]

But, he didn't do anything except talk some shit and spread a lie. He didn't make astro stop, astro stopped himself. He even said it himself after the fact that he deleted his channel cause "I'm a mentally Ill ret*rd" Mage didn't win cause it was never his goal to take down astro. They were just rivals. To be fair to mage, he didn't start talking a bunch of shit until astros community went after him and fucced his channel. That's not astros fault of course, but still.

[@КГБКолДжорджКостанца]

maybe somebody will swerve in like a fighter jet and be the new metro man to Mage

[@nemezio9495]

Even worse, Mage owns the archive channel, so he's profiting over Astro's disappearance

[@broragnarok146]

@@JetroYT He’s my fav GTA creator I’m sad he does not post anymore 😭

[@KxshouTOtW]

I remember watching astro soup back in quarantine. I only had an xbox 360 but his videos made me want the next generation just to play the newer gta online. He introduced me to an amazing artist (whitey) and i still listen to him to this day so i just got to thank astro soup for completely changing gta videos

[@JetroYT]

His videos were really one of a kind with his cinematic and stuff. Wish he was still around, can’t lie.

[@why-is-this-handle--a-thing]

soup helped me do biker sales when i was strapped for money and had no one to help me. really great guy. miss him a lot. hope hes doing well wherever he is.

[@JetroYT]

A real one for sure

[@Ducky935]

Astro Soups content was so good, it was a mini event for the community whenever he uploaded a video.

[@smitty2766]

Because of him I got into whitey, I miss him dawg 🤧 such iconic videos… I hope he’s doing well

[@L1am4]

Same! I was just listening to What's wrong with people? pt2 and I just suddenly thought of him, shame he just vanished like that

[@smitty2766]

@ he’s actually releasing a new album, I got the notification on Spotify for it a few days ago lml,

[@Cartiisthegoat29]

bro that orbital cannon clip at the intro is a hood classic 😭😭😭 when I saw that for the first time years ago I died of laughter 😭😭

[@JetroYT]

Astro's intros were something else man. Straight Cinema.

[@Volstx]

I'm so happy I was there when his channel was starting to blow up He was the goat

[@AlbanyHermes]

He’s the reason I got into gta online, I dedicated my first outfit save slot to making his outfit

[@everycafe44]

Glad you brought up how Astro got his start with Battlefront II Most people tend to forget he primarily did Battlefront II related content before GTA

[@Soldier-kn7kr]

I'm geniunely convinced Astro saved my life. In 2020 during the pandemic I went through a really horrible breakup. So one day I stumbled over his videos. Watched and rewatched all of them multiple times for comfort. Then I tried out Whitey and by god he is still one of my favorite artists after all these years. WIthout Astro Soup I wouldn't have known about Whitey. And without Whitey I would have probably been dead by the end of the year. So yes, I do consider Astro saved my life and I owe him everything I have now. A beautiful girlfriend and a life in college is all due to him and nobody but him. He helped me without even trying.

[@NeedForMadnessAuto]

I love when AstroSoup recommended "What's Wrong With People Part 2" song

[@shaark1tsune]

Astro sup was the only youytuber i watched when i just joined gta back in 2020, his editing style, the way he made his videos and the music, were all so good. I miss that dude

[@plasticchairguy6471]

I remember when i found his channel when he started with the gta videos there was something i liked about them, years later i still using his outfit and the way he fought tryhards like trolling them i still doing them to this day I hope to see him return one day or at least to say something that everthing is ok

[@WoozieGuy]

I remember AstroSoup and found his videos very enjoyable to watch about GTA Online in a very entertaining comedic way and was wondering about his disappearance after he deleted his entire channel off of the KZbin platform knowing about to what happened? And why it happened? for whatever reasons it could have been, This video states it clearly about his disappearance. Maybe someday, he will return after GTA VI finally releases which will be a massive clean slate for GTA content creation.

[@UnderwaterPixel]

I can’t believe it’s even 4 years since he left, feels like yesterday, I miss him so much, he inspired me to make GTA content

[@badcattrouble6524]

Astro Soup was the first person I ever subscribed to on KZbin. He had an amazing talent for creating very professional videos and his humor was unmatched. I miss this guy so much and I still go back and watch his videos occasionally. I really wish he would return.

[@pwned0_o]

truly one of the biggest WHAT IFs in Gta V online's history, Astro was one of the youtubers that helped me out through a very dark time in my life. I was suffering through a lot of things personally and just coming home to watch one of his videos really helped cause his comedy felt fresh and his take on Gta cinematography spoke to me, this guy was an actual visionary and he took time with his content. I say he's a big what if , cause he only seemed to improve in quality the more videos he posted, and his difference mini series that he had were great and felt like a breathe of fresh air. He definitely would've been in the millions with sub count and sitting next to the more known gta v youtuber like Pyro, The Professional , and more... i truly hope he's safe and one day he can make a return, even if it's not gaming but just something to showcase his cinematography... that'd be nice.

[@Lil_gomi]

In the time period i watched his videos, i liked his content so much that whenever i read something for school to myself. It would be his voice, idk why it was like that for a WHILE tho.

[@ErrorUserNameUnavailble]

I forgot about astro soup, i looked forward to his "meet the" series. Brought back forgotten memories.

[@ewankaars1370]

Oh man this was a good vid. Highlighting one of the best GTA online content creators who always put quality over quantity. A series from Astro Soup that I miss is the Messages from a Toxic Tryhard. I think it was a 4 or 5 part series and I'm quite sure he only kept the first one up and privated or deleted the rest

[@JetroYT]

Thank you dude glad you enjoyed it

[@blkktxrr4059]

I hope Astro returns i remember being 14 watching his KZbin’s eating party pizzas

[@rohdger3390]

Man, oh man, He’s the best gta KZbinr ever, but not simply for his content, but also to introducing me to a phenomenal artist, WHITEY.

I really do hope wherever Astro is today, he’s in a better place and is using his talents for something, someone of this much talent must use it in some way. His video’s truly are works of art.

[@zilentzap]

Bro was so goated he introduced me into music as well. what a creative guy though. a shame he vanished

[@andressarquis]

ASTRO, if you ever read this (very unlikely to be realistic), just wanted to say that you're a very talented, passionate and dedicated guy to the things you like. You may not be on GTA online, but I do really hope you are being just the same with other stuff that makes you happy. We love you bro

You just earned a subscriber man. Waiting for the next video.

[@Milty2001]

I miss astro soup his videos inspired me to use rockstar editor whenever i wanted to make short segments on gta online and showed the community that you can still have fun in gta online even with it's toxic nature

[@ThatOneChick420]

I hadn't heard of him before, but didn't join YT till 2021 I think it was. Nicely edited and presented though. Thanks for a good watch Jetro! 👍

[@mikehunt6276]

It was refreshing to find a KZbinr who genuinely liked making his content, and it shows through the quality. Miss that Mf

[@JetroYT]

I'm with you there bro

[@arkdromaedia]

Astro Soup, the legend that held nothing but love for video games and movies. He went out of his way to make some of the best GTA Videos in KZbin history. His disappearance was very unfortunate, and I'm hoping his status is still stable and in decent condition. He was and still is a legend to this day, an unforgettable legend, to be sure.

[@shonwickes6588]

Been waiting on this heater to drop! Another banger as per usual my guy :)

[@torchman99]

Absolutely loved astro soup. So much so I still have a tribute on my channel to him. His videos were so absolutely insane to me, especially using the rockstar editor cause it sucks, trust me I tried making stuff. It is not easy. To not only work through that difficulty but make things of an unbelievable quality was beautiful. I hope he's doing well. Amazing video too.

Great vid, glad to see Astro Soup is still being talked about after all this time.

damn i miss astro soup so bad i hope he makes a return someday

[@Razvich]

I remember running into his video about the gta online car community and seeing him explode in popularity, he published a community post about celebrating cuz he had reached a certain amount of subs and later that day he had almost doubled his subscriber count. When JK gamers got arrested i had the chance to exchange a few words with him in nitrix warlord's discord, i think he deleted his discord account shortly after, i miss him, man.

Got inspired by him, shame I never got to hear from him again hopefully by gta VI he might be back….

[@DrifterChaos]

It would be such an honor to work with him, great guy .... *Maybe for GTA6 who knows*

[@justamediocreyoutubechanne4172]

I hope the gta greats get a spot in gta6 somehow. Either as cameos on the in game tv, some sort of livery or their works being subtly hinted at by the npcs like the alien war.

[@RickyGGaming_TX]

From the old podcast or livestream several years ago, GypstYT has talked about making a GTA video with Astro Soup but was delayed for another project about his GTA Vice City nostalgia w/ Badger Goodger. Once the video is finished, Astro disappears from online.

[@mr.stider2901]

[@PerfectedVenus_Monsoon]

After Astro disappeared from the scene, I found myself slowly losing interest in GTA:O over the years. It's been about 2 years since I last hoped back on my PS4 to play on my level 230 character, and it will probably stay like that for the foreseeable future. I've had my laughs, goofs, and most memorable moments with my friends on there, but I just don't see any reason to play it anymore. If I were able to transfer my account to my PC, I might would hop on a couple more times, but the time has passed.

Astro Soup inspired me to use Rockstar Editor

[@jongomes3767]

Good video, but you forgot to mention that the Astro Soup Archive channel, is ran by MolecularMage, after he was done with the reuploads, he started spamming a million shorts videos (my guess is that it was to profit of the channel size)

[@JetroYT]

I had a whole section at the end where I was going to dive into this but decided against it for 2 reasons... 1. No matter how scummy it is what Mage has been doing to the channel, by YT's rules, he isn't doing anything wrong meaning we can't do anything about it(people have tried) 2. I didn't want the whole video to be about Mage rather than Astro
