Not a lot of therapists would go to the farthest depths of Hades for a patient. Also, love your hoodie, doc.

[@lazylass2309]

Honestly I wonder what tempature it is down there though. Is it cold?

[@MrScaryPasta]

@@lazylass2309 I've been there myself. Hades temperature changes depending on which land you go to. Tartus is colder than even the deepest darkest reaches of space. Styx is hot and burns those who dare to drink or touch its waters. Elysium is warm and welcoming, with a peaceful atmosphere. Asphodald changes between warm and cold. Which makes living there tough. And quite scary.

That tone change though

[@concordiusstrife163]

I really liked the visit with Tirek. Especially when Tirek said that Doc was weak. Doc's resolve in his beliefs was strong enough to realize Tirek was trying to play him and shut him down. Everyone's power is different. Tirek's is manipulation and trickery, while Doc's is wits and resolve. Unrelenting force vs Immovable Object. In Tirek's world view, he will never understand that resolve can match power any day. Ironically, Tirek called Doc weak, yet Doc is stronger than him.

[@kingcamelot1395]

Sorin Stokkr Perhaps, but you can see it in his facial expressions. His will has cracked, it is not broken, but cracked.

[@concordiusstrife163]

I understand, but my point is that Doc didn't cave in. He took a blow, but he didn't move. He's questioning his existence, not his friends. Edit: Note I said, " his beliefs were strong enough", I'm arguing Tirek's power logic, and how Doc is more powerful because his will cracked, but didn't shatter like what Tirek wanted it too.

[@thewrathematician1911]

Tirek only relies on manipulation when he's at a disadvantage of strength. Once he has enough power he'll just crush you. Completely merciless.

[@revaslatts8011]

Alas, his resolve may remain strong, but his will cracked big time.

[@AH-is5yg]

It's true, Doc manages to overpower Tirek at the end and won.

[@lightning-bliss]

Chills down my spine! The voice of Tirek was amazing and you weren't bad yourself Doc, holy cow. My heart was pumping in fear of you getting too close! He could have snatched up your little neck! Or worse! The emotions though, the play on your backstory, the idea that you could have been manipulated but will never know? Wow that's dark and deep. I can't imagine how a conversation with Chrysalis will go if ever given the chance!

[@Nazo-kage]

Tirek strikes as as that type of villain that has tied everything to their philosophy, and will do everything they can to prove they are right because that’s all they have left. They believe so ardently that even evidence to the contrary would be brushed aside because they cannot allow themselves to think that they may be wrong.

I sympathize with this terek. One betrayal can change everything. Ive become much more introverted and i guess sad from my betrayals but like some one said "the kindest people have felt the most pain" ive lost count of the amount of friends that have either betrayed or left me. To a point where theres a i guess titanium wall around my heart to protect it from that type of pain. When you first meet me and i dont trust you you'll be seeing a shy and quiet personality because i basically Trying to prevent more pain. And the last scene i knew because when your alone theres no one to impress or see you. Then you release every thing you don't want anyone to see including tears.

[@abbeyjane5014]

[@Springtime562]

@@abbeyjane5014 yeah... basically you know i trust you if i let you see me cry intentionally. And only 3 people and one stuffed animal know that. The worst betrayal is i faked my disappearance and went into a alter ego and saw how my friends reacted to my "disappearance" one said he missed me and when i came back with my defult skin he denied it. That hurt more then Anything. The only thing that came close was the first time i was betrayed

[@KrazyStargazer]

Very powerful. It's the kind of interaction one would imagine confronting "evil". Tirek is a surprisingly good manipulator. And you good Doctor are surprisingly resolute. ...and good Doctor if I may. We all...hurt, we just have to find the people worth being hurt for. Just a suggestion

The BEST thing here is the SCRIPT. Specially the correct characterization of Tirek and the great use of his "noble lingo" and expressions (unique from whatever kingdom he and Scorpan grew up in the Badlands).

[@dracowolf3212]

Yeah, I'd like to see a conversation with Gallus and the doc about the isolation he feels as an orphan, Smolder about her peer pressure and maybe Silver Stream about her P.T.S.D. And after that finale, I can't wait to see what Dr Wolf does with Cozy Glow

[@shadowspector3611]

First time watching one of these. I always thought that Tirek was beyond reformation, but I held on to the thought that maybe if he saw Scorpan again, he might change his ways. You expanded on that idea so much, and it was amazing.

Derpy Hooves? Chrysalis? Sombra? Or maybe another group therapy session with lesser villains like the Film Flam Brothers, Gladmane, Svengallop and Suri Polomare.

Interesting take on this...it's honestly one of the first of these therapy visits I've seen, and it's interesting none the less. This path to take, fiction or not, to help and understand ones like Tirek and others, is a very VERY slippery path that could corrupt or ruin one's life, that kind of mental strength is one not many have.

[@SomehowCreative]

This. Was. Amazing. Oh my gosh

[@MrMynameis12]

I know I've already commented, but I must say this was deep, particularly at the end.

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

The release of this A Moment with Dr. Wolf episode was timed really well actually since the season 8 finale is tomorrow, and Tirek will be returning in the show then! You did well with your part here, NDLMongoose did well voicing Tirek, and the artwork was very nicely drawn as well! Excellent job!

[@No1ofgreatimportance]

Bravo to the writing, For the statements made with words heavy in purpose. Bravo to the Artwork, Displaying the bleakness of a situation, the creepy, stubborn resolve of one lost in said situation, and the dim but certain hope of another to aid however they can. And Bravo to the Voices, and sounds that brought the entire scenario to life.... Seriously though, this was more like an episode of a series you'd listen to on the radio.... This was way better than the Discord episode (plz don't kill me KP).. I only have one problem with this...………… It makes me want More!!! I hope there will be repeat visits for this character in the future.

[@TheMediaMage]

Holy cow this was good! From the artwork, the voice work, the angle of the visit! It was all so well done! Everyone involved truly out did themselves this time! :D

I'm really impressed with the portrayal of both characters in this skit. I was thinking two things about Tirek near the start of this that I was waiting for to see, and I found both accounts. Number one: Tirek is also a psychologist of his own, a master mental manipulator who would try to get the upper hand on this conversation. I did not know how he would exploit that, only that he'd try the moment I heard it I had deep respect for this portrayal. The second thing I waited to hear was the fact he would not be turned by a single conversation since he's far too dead set in his ways. At most Dr Wolf should be able to plant a seed in him, and that seems all he managed to accomplish. Very well done. Like me, I get the feeling that the author of Dr Wolf is not a true psychologist but nevertheless has an interest and even talent in the matter. I realize this is a very long shot considering all the youtube comments you get, but after seeing this video I have very deep respect for the author of this script when it comes to keeping with the spirit of the characters, both of them in this case. I wrote a fanfic of my own I'd very much like you to see and would appricate your feedback as a review to it in the hopes of drawing upon your knowledge and understanding of the characters in the hopes that I have portrayed them well myself. If it turns out you're too busy for it then it's fine. I understand. Anyway, here's the link to the fanfic. www.fanfiction.net/s/13065936/1/Sky-Dancer-the-First-Flying-Unicorn

[@bovineapples7209]

Well then, leave it to a fan animation to make me feel sad for Tirek. Loved the animation, the story, and over all, the feeling of this animation. Keep up the wonderful work Doc!

[@storybookrhyme7984]

This is a really deep and scary video, I think this is one of the best of your many awesome episodes.

[@DRWolf001]

Glad you enjoyed it so thoroughly :)

[@RazthorFodring]

Damn, you are one of the best Doc. That could not have been easy acting.

[@pauljordan0203]

at first I was worried about dr. wolf's session with tirek, but I was releaved that he manage to make it out of it, and it's also a good thing that doc didn't have any actual magic in him, or else that bull headed centaur would've already escaped by now.

[@armayafox1328]

Thanks for the birthday present, Dr. Wolf.

[@crovax1375]

Well Tirek is certainly in touch with his anger. 5 bonus points if you know what movie that's from!

[@nothingunderthemask]

Star Wars 3?

[@crovax1375]

MarctheLightSpark Elliott good guess but no. It's actually from The Naked Gun 2 1/2

[@nothingunderthemask]

Oh

[@ZealetPrince]

It was a crazy and risky therapy session doc, but you, in the end, didn't give in to his lies. Good on you doc.

[@SolracRing]

I enjoyed all previous therapy visits Dr. Wolf has had from Equestria, but even when I enjoy the next one, which I have no doubt of, this one will be the most memorable one of all, always.

[@Darth_Lucifer]

His most challenging session yet

[@xandan1668]

Forgivness even for those who don't deserve it. You're a better man then me doc. Also seeing Tirek break down at the end was kina sad.

[@Seminooos]

Wow this was truly epic in so many ways. I love how deep this one was with emotion. Absolutely fantastic job!

[@abbieplate1785]

Wow. That went way better than from what I was expecting. Great job once again dr.wolf

[@alicewilloughby4318]

I'm so glad to see a brand new Dr. Wolf video! Even though Tirek is is imprisoned, it was still really brave of Dr. Wolf to go into that world (dimension?) and face him! I've obviously miss a key episode of this, since I don't know who Dr. Wolf's "master" is and I confess to being a little creeped out to hear him refer to anyone as his "master". I had wondered why in some episodes, he stands upright, but in others he walks on all fours like a regular wolf. He is SO right about no one being an island!

[@DRWolf001]

Check out "Memories of the Equestrian Wolf" if you want to know who DRWolf's Master was :)

[@TimeTravelMaster]

Well done as always Dr. Wolf this has easily become one of my new favorite MWDW episodes ever. :-D

[@v1ct0r1n01]

man... the emotions in this Moment.... the integration with your backstory..... the possibility that you've might of been brainwashed by your former "Master"...... i was scared that it might have been enough ti break you...... but i'm glad it didn't, that you stood firmly on your beliefs, and where able to, at least in small part, give a new perspective to Tirek, keep on helping others Doc, always stay strong, cause i do belive that you can make a diffrence by letting others listen.

[@cottoncandyswirl8289]

It may not have broken him but I've got a feeling it might have cracked him and that crack might grow over time until it breaks, what i mean is i feel like Tireks words will stick to Dr. Wolf and it might make him turn evil, with a little dark influence

[@v1ct0r1n01]

oh man, an evil Doctor Wolf....... if that where to happen, i feel like he might become more powerful than Thunder Blight

[@cottoncandyswirl8289]

@@v1ct0r1n01 considering his ability to find out what troubles other yoi may be right, if he turned evil he could easily destroy anyone on a psychological level

[@v1ct0r1n01]

Destroy them and then some.... i bet he can have a power like discord to manipulate others to become the worse parts of themselves and for them to think it's the best way to be *shutters* i'm just hoping that never happens

[@cottoncandyswirl8289]

@@v1ct0r1n01 yeah that sounds horrific and the worst part is it makes sense, while i do think seeing an evil Dr. Wolf would be cool i hope that if Dr. Wolf does become evil that he gets stopped before he has the chance to do something like that to anyone

[@cpcoultertweedles7216]

This is my favourite of your videos. Mostly because this is the first time we've seen you legitimately shaken. We've seen you uncomfortable or overwhelmed, but this is the first time someone's gotten under your skin and made you seriously question everything you know. Those are always the best plot lines. I hope to see more AMWDW videos featuring the cast soon. Maybe looking at why Iron Will feels the need to be so wrapped up in ego and machismo? Or talking to Gabby the Griffin about how it feels to grow up in a country where she may be the same species as everyone else, but her personality is radically different. Or maybe even track down Queen Chrysalis to talk about the responsibilities of leadership and the desire to take advantage of a position of power

[@British-Patriot]

Compare this to how he was handled more comedically in the final seasons, I find it to be a shame.

[@MelodySnowflakeVA]

Wo, I didn't expect you to do this, this turned out great!

[@cottoncandyswirl8289]

Neither did i to be honest

[@gavinwright7076]

See this is why Tirek is my favorite villain in anything. He tossed everything away in pursuit of his power. And when Scorpan betrayed him, even that couldnt sway Tirek. He just kept moving on with his ambition for power. And its that resolve that makes him interesting. When he got banished to Tartarus, he truly had nothing. No friends, no family. Not even the power he so desperately wanted. And I feel like he wanted that power at first because why not. But now I feel like he wants power to give himself a goal and set himself away from the painful memories of his brother

[@everythinggirly916]

I never would have thought that you'll have a session with Tirek. I'm very impressed by what you can pull off. This was awesome!

[@InsanityVirus]

Even the darkest of us, have a heart... or at least did once. For darkness, evil and hatred, they are not born into someone. No they are _never_ born. They are only _made._ For all things *_truly_*_ wicked..._ start from _innocence._

[@HendorneEndohRoth]

Woahhhhh, this was the best therapy visit so far! So deep, and dark, and suspenseful!

[@allycat5609]

This went all sorts of places I didn't expect. O.o really good storytelling too. 👍
