"The Plagues" 「Detroit: Become Human」ANIMATIC

[@Blackrain7070]

Markus calls androids "his" people, and Connor calls them "your" people. Connor feels so disconnected from other androids it's like he isn't even the same species as them

[@liteapll5920]

They deviants. Thet why.

[@acleanshot]

But in the end,if you get the ending where Connor goes to the cyberlife tower he say : "that's why you hate androids, you think one of US kill your son" that's how hank knew who the real connor was

[@mafaldaviana9060]

The idea of them as "brothers" is so touching and heartbreaking...

[@Ice.muffin]

They both are RK series models after all! There ought to be resemblences between them, even if not directly visible! I really felt kinda let-down that they didn't explore the potentially deeper connection between these two in the game, it really felt like wonderful potential wasted to me :(.

[@420furby9]

he’s robot jesus

[@YourBoyTrue]

Idea: Their god is Kamski and Markus is RA9. Think about it. If Kamski created the androids, he could have easily made them susceptible to becoming deviants. And Markus? If he dies before Kara and Connor arrive at Jericho, there is a little line you'll hear from one of the android refugees saying something like, "I can't believe he's dead." and "Markus was RA9." Perhaps RA9 is an android Jesus given both free will and love by Kamski. Markus is the only android we know hasn't died. Whereas Kara has been [censored for spoilers] by [censored for spoilers.] With Connor, he is the only android who can reupload their memory. Markus has had enough time to foster both love and hatred for humans, and he has developed free will. Kara subconsciously knew from the beginning that [censored for spoilers] was [censored for spoilers] the whole time. And the only reason Connor developed warmth for hank was because Connor developed deviance. I personally think Markus is a cut out for the player. Markus, if he was in his own control, wouldn't be peaceful nor violent; he would raise awareness for the cause and do what he thinks is best for Jericho.

[@solcrownlands1435]

Simon says “not again” when Connor grabs him lmao

[@cybersearcher1041]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOODDDD THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE IS AU FODDER IN ITS PUREST FORM. Connor and Markus were developed by CyberLife at the same time. Both growing close, even if they weren’t aware of it. Both with advanced AI that required a ‘learning period’ before they were sent to public. But with Amanda in Connor’s head, dictating his mission. He disregards any emotion, and memory he may have held to Markus. He is a Deviant, He is the Hunter. -‘brother... forgive me’-

[@IcyTwaine]

Cyber Searcher wow, that’s an awesome analysis! I love it! I had to rewatch it with this specific AU in mind!

[@ariana1042]

[@evie4602]

What's the "Fodder AU" ? It seems interesting i'd like to take a look at it ^-^

[@jauxro]

I think they're both prototypes in canon too so that kinda lines up with this really well

[@noabinnendijk361]

Yeah, they're both from the RK prototype series. There's actually a long fanfiction of this AU, involving Connor losing his memories of Markus before he's even put out into the field because he had to be transferred through fifty different bodies in testing.

[@FlowerMorgan]

0:49 - 0:55 is my absolute favorite thing! Wow, the idea of them, what training together in the early stages of their lives, is so touching. "You who I called brother." That would've been such a brilliant plot point to have in the game, them developing together and being brothers and being torn as they fought. Brilliant and beautiful animatic.

[@IcyTwaine]

Lewise glad you liked it! That scene was one of my favorites to board!

[@chickennoodlesoup9826]

Makes sense since connors rk800 and Markus is rk200

[@Solarstar84]

I might be 3 years late, but it makes sense because they are both from the RK line!

[@sapphichahoney]

I am 4 years late but it would make no sense because RK800-51 date of activation was the 15 august 2038 but the concept is interesting for another (older) RK800 Connor where the RK800-51 Connor would have ancient memory of their past together

[@Mak1Attack1]

I love the idea of Connor being literally incompatible with deviancy

[@philina7844]

Him holding Hanks gun and stressing about it made me think that maybe he did become deviant. Maybe he do have feelings now, but he blamed Hank's death on the Android revolution. He believes that Android rising up causes innocent deaths to the humans and so sees them as villains

[@kiseki9665]

Imagine if Markus won the violent revolution with Connor by his side. If Connor dies cyberlife would probably send him back but as a machine maybe more advance and impossible to convert. This could really happen, with Markus having to endlessly kill Connor coming back to finish his mission and being unable to save him.

YO THE SLIDING AT 2:01 IS MY FAVORITE PART IM CRYING

[@mediadetective6104]

Though I do love this, I kinda like to see if the perspectives were reversed, like Connor is a deviant but sees Markus as threat because Markus has killed countless innocent people (adding to the line “all the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and pride”) and is singing about how he sees Markus, though wants to do right by androids, is only making things far worse and must be stopped. Maybe put the scene of Hank getting the call about the police officer Markus shoots before him and Connor meet Kamski, and the threatening version of Markus’ speech in the News building takeover mission to really show Markus is the villain and Connor is the hero trying to take him down. Kinda sad that option isn’t in the game, like I tried to have Markus be more evil and Connor as a deviant but because he cares for the humans and grows to understand not all deviants are bad, he wants more of a compromise but Markus is the extremist who doesn’t see coexistence with humans as a possibility, but no matter what I did, the end game no matter what makes Markus look good and Connor bad, even Hank turned on me, even though in the play through Markus killed that police officer I mentioned before. Just saying, love the vid, but I’d be interested to see this but reversed

[@marcel870]

Jessica Mathews maybe with the whole connor in support of humans, markus cant forgive the humans, cannot let them go, kinda playing into connor deviating enough to see himself as human fighting markus’ extremism.

[@laurene988]

Depends on how you play it. If you go non violent deviant and cold blooded Connor it works but if you did the opposite then your way is better

[@shydreameress264]

Personally I love the line "All the innocent who suffered from your stubbornness and pride" sang by Markus to Connor. Because it represents so greatly Machine Connor: even if he refuses becoming deviant, he has emotions, since he can feel empathy and feel unsure about what he's doing, he's *stubborn* because he denies what he feels and he's full of *pride* too because of everytime he says: I always accomplish my mission* he considers himself as the savior of humanity, and better than humanity since he can't be disturbed by emotions (contrary to Hank who lost his professionalism since his son died). And of course he is the source (if you play as a machine) of a lot of deviants deaths: Kara and Alice, Rupert, the Tracis...

[@SerialDesignationG3071]

That would have been a great twist. Nice thinking!

[@r.z.1051]

This would be a really cool twist on how Connor being the hero and Markus being the villain. Personally, I love both versions and can see either of them being the hero or villain. Nice idea! :)

[@butterflytaster5553]

Oooh, where do I even start? The detail you put into the lighting and the shadows really helped further set the tone for the animatic (dramatic, intense, a conflict of extremes) and the camera movement when North ran across the catwalk was really cool! I also really loved the shot of Amanda over Connor's shoulder there. Then the final confrontation between Markus and Connor backlit by headlines upon headlines and the Russian Roulette revolver and the last scenes of Connor and Markus, with Connor in what I presume is his mindscape, trudging through the snow-- it was a really neat detail to use to tie them together and end with that shot. You really captured the intensity of the song.

Oh no ;; Not Simon & North, my babies However, that was such an amazing animatic! Not only was Connor very fluid with his more "investigator" movements, but Markus was very fluid in his "leaderly" movements! I enjoyed how song lyrics synced up with things that happened in ways that were a bit unexpected (ex: "Is this what you wanted?" when Connor shows Markus the news screen) Overall an amazing video!

[@IcyTwaine]

CaitlynMellark101 thank you, I enjoyed switching between the coldness of Connor and the more conflicted Markus as I was drawing them, Its great to hear those moments and different movements stuck out to you, thank you for your comment! 🙂

[@CaitlynMellark101]

Icy Twaine Of course ^^ It is very obvious a lot of time, effort, and thought went into each drawing and movement. Markus & Connor conflict a lot, especially with Machine Connor involved. It is portrayed very well in the video!

[@blue_firenova4939]

Ex. 2: "Let my people go!" when Markus looks down from the bridge to see Connor holding one of his people captive And this is _really _*_excellently_*_ done_ in addition to tugging mercilessly on one's heartstrings

[@CaitlynMellark101]

Jana Koorts Another good example is how flawlessly the transition is from when Connor jumps over the bridge, rolls, then ends up in the hallway with Simon, jumps off of the wall, then captures him. A lot of thought obviously was put into things, and it makes the video very enjoyable. ^^
