The Fall of Shadowstone Park (Complete in 4K)

[@filmcow]

For those new to Shadowstone Park, "The Fall of Shadowstone Park" is the second season of the series. The first season is just titled "Shadowstone Park" and consists of of three episodes, which you can watch via the playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLI6HmVcz0NXooJ6cP0cEYMUMbR0bAW4FU

[@AndroidOO3]

Why wouldn't you just add them to this?

[@fallonsky_]

@@AndroidOO3 probably because they were created when he was hired to do a show and the company still probably has some say on where he can post them.

[@lexalot8337]

jason, I know you'll probably never read this but if you do please please please see if you can get this adapted into a stage play this is genuinely one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever written and it would be such a good way of getting it to more people

[@michaelbuehler3897]

Good to know.

[@SmellyFerret146]

There's Going To Be A Sequel To The Sequel I Think, From What It Seems, Hopefully, And Hopefully Not In Another 5 Years Time... Hopefully...

[@snurgumwurgum8238]

Filmcow is criminally underrated as an artist. He deserves andy warhol's hype.

[@stacy__fakename]

Came here after the Llamas With Hats epilogue. My god, what an experience it is to watch this. Steele, if you ever read this, I'm grateful I had the opportunity to watch Charlie the Unicorn way back in early KZbin, and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to watch this series right now. Between all the disturbing imagery and recurrent apocalyptic scenarios, your web movies still never fail to comfort me.

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

Can we talk about how the reveal of Nils name is the most depressing thing ever? Like wow that was well done.

[@denismawe4394]

yes! and if he hadn't repeated his name right after i would never have got it

[@duckman162]

when Lark spoke: Oh..Nil.... upon finding out the meaning of his name was devastating

[@mystictcg4097]

​@@denismawe4394what does it mean

[@denismawe4394]

@@ZackJohnson-cp2vc in the recording, he states that his name is a number because his people value individual lives and this number represents the number of his crew he has kept safe. "Nil" is another word for "zero"

[@tegandumpleton3360]

Probably my second favorite twist of the series!

[@tacticaljunk1608]

I can't believe when this came out initially I was so heartbroken that we would only have a handful of episodes, and now we have the complete story!

[@Thingumadoodle0518]

It’s not even completely done! Jason has said on Twitter that there’ll be a final arc sometime!

Not of Cia?

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

"We gave a lot of babies a lot of guns" Leave it to you guys to make such funny yet profound lines. The ship dying was genuinely heartbreaking, comedy aside. Like. Damn. I've never thought about what a computer must feel while its being taken over by a virus, but I'll sure as hell never forget now. The "Ghost" reveal was also great, especially with how that let Nil attempt to redeem his specie's hubris, if only a little. Hell of a series.

[@Saplink]

So happy that Shadowstone Park is getting the love that it deserves. Was super sad that it was discontinued, but I'm excited for the next part. Reminds me a bit of Twin Peaks.

[@malekartorian3054]

I told you about the park bro

[@animepiglover]

Wait there's gonna be more after the epilogue???

[@deejones0071]

Can you understand me? This is unironically some of (if not THE) best work you guys have put out. The writing in particular, from the first episode of the original three and through to the end, is absolutely brilliant. The rewatch value is incredible. Thank you!

[@deejones0071]

Can you understand me? It can not be emphasised enough how genuinely amazing I think Darius and Nill are. Both are hilarious and tragic characters, as well as how almost all of their dialogue and actions are so different with the context of the ending.

[@deejones0071]

Can you understand me? And, again, I can not emphasise how brilliant it is that both the original trio of episodes and Fall end with a ghost attending their own funeral. Where, at said funeral, their carefully manufactured public image is dismantled by Zute. Darius, the noble king who was secretly a pervert set to go to Owl Hell vs. Chalice, the poo poo purveyor whose good deeds will be hailed in his absence as he thinks about Heaven.

[@aeriie0]

“Oh no!! My leaf!!!!!” What a wonderful series. The writing was fantastic and I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it. I can’t believe this doesn’t have more views.

[@nemlolrawrlawl2350]

That identity crisis, though.

I still think about this series a lot, the story really gripped me. I hope we get to see more some day

“Too many babies, with too many guns…” This line hits hard after watching an hour of this build-up.

[@Gremlin_Boi_]

The revel at the end of "the evil Gaia" being the fucking C.I.A. is 1 funny and 2 creepy af. Wonderful work bravo 👏

[@jjscallywag1]

Such a wonderful, twisted, melancholy story. Thank you so much for completing it.

[@George-e9c]

I have always wanted this story to continue. It was the most well written, mysterious tale I have ever seen on the internet. This is a fucking masterpiece. I need to see this story continue. This was so worth the wait

[@Cheezuskhrist]

Jason built an empire on doing stupid voices, yet it is the the aggressively normal Lark performance that may be my favorite on the channel.

[@xInsane333x]

2149 became 2147 because "their deaths are now permanently reflected in my name. It is a shame I'll carry for the rest of my life." ...2147 became Nil. Zero. Was definitely not expecting their character to be so tragic.

[@emilychurch1214]

This is a damn masterpiece. Hits hard, true, and home. Never thought in my life I'd hear what a ship thinks and sounds like as it is corrupted and dies from the inside out. Or that a horny owl managed to belay many, many innocent deaths. FilmCow, I don't know how you keep doing it, but I'm grateful.

[@Maggbba]

Brilliant. I Love the memorable characters, the cosmic horror and the dark humor. Also love the voice acting and the minimalistic art style. Yeah, brilliant stuff.

[@cantaloupegodling352]

What a phenomenal series. I remember each episode coming out and all my theories and feelings about them. Everything to say, I think, has already been said so I'll just keep rewatching until you release your next masterpiece.

The series thankfully isn't over yet! We're getting one more arc and it'll be the final one

Hey Filmcow I hope you see this, this series is one of my favorites and your work has been a massive influence on some parts of my life. I even showed it to my best friend. I don't think they got why it was so important to me, I don't know if you would either but thank you I love shadow stone park

[@DarkOmegaMK2]

Watching all these for a second time after watching the ending now everything the owl says makes sense when it was pure nonsense before.

[@catfacethemartian]

I've watched this series too many times, its definitely a comfort show for me

[@ThisIsNeccessary]

Shadowstone Park is definitely my favorite thing you've created. I really hope we get to see more of it!

[@PurgPurg]

This channel deserves so many more views it’s tragic. I genuinely think the humor is just too clever for a lot of people to enjoy it. People might think the target audience is different than it is. Sounds pretentious but that’s how far this channel has come

[@ThinkingFingers]

So glad you got to finish this story. Probably my favorite FilmCow series.

[@captaincassidy8287]

I hope in the third season we'll get more details on how the animal's intelligences were being reverted, or see the process (like with Crush). They don't just return to being feral-- they seem to become rabid killers. Though I doubt it we'd get to see it, I'd also really like more info on the virus that hijacked the ships, or if it effected humans as well. I've read some theories from folks that claim it wouldn't effect people, but why? That would also explain the downfall of humanity a little more. But the beauty of FilmCow is the speculation and deeper meaning to it all. Questions like these usually don't get answered, and to great effect. Can't wait for the next season!

[@immortal_shrooms6757]

Was it ever hinted how the animals become feral?

[@SpaceShip-Orion]

This is probably how I'll watch the series! Great to have long videos you can just subconsciously keep on

[@nemlolrawrlawl2350]

​@@nickcunningham6344it's definitely one of those things I find more out every time I watch.

[@CatLover-lk9gz]

Just finished a first watch myself, from what I understand, after life was going extinct, some super race created these simulations, and when a simulated charachter dies, their memories can stick around, or self delete. Still don't get the zombies, at all. Nor do I get what makes the Cat and the penguin so special "So, they can see the memories, but others can't"

[@fulviopontarollo2952]

⁠@@CatLover-lk9gzthe “zombies” are the animals returning to a wild state after the CIA-hijacked ship erases their intelligence The cat and the penguin (and, at the end, the pelican too) can see the ghosts/ memories from the orbiting ship because they’ve entered a landed ship and have been scanned by that three lines of light thing (we saw the cat remembering when it first happened to him through his dream)

I hope you make a sequel to this series at some point. It was a lot of fun watching the story unfold.

The reveal of the CIA being Caia (originally what I heard as Gaia) was masterful. It makes total sense that America wouldn’t just accept a new status quo and go all “Christian values of hierarchy” on everything
