From Dollie:

*"I'm genuinely so thrilled with it. Most exciting project I've worked on personally & definitely a career highlight

Squaring a few things away, unsure when well hit the go-button at this stage but I expect it won't be far off. I assure you, it's done, it's beautiful, it ✨LIVES✨"*

Well i'm sure they won't have paid for Karl Urban for one episode. 🤣

He could be the Ark version of Kenny from South Park.

[grave flame]

Hype!

[kind oxide]

This looks promising! As long as you don’t look at the comments on the trailer lol

[fervent stag]

YEAAH!! Bob isn't just a quickly seen and killed off character!

[kind oxide]

I’m surprised. I thought he was gonna be raptor bait right off the bat

[fervent stag]

Right?
Nah, he's an actual character and I'm happy with that.

[dense blaze]

Hype

Lots of cool things in that trailer

[velvet temple]

some of the mixing and voice acting seemed kinda weird

[kind oxide]

Cool to see a lot of the roster repped too, didn’t think we’d see animated daeodons

[velvet temple]

we already were told that all or almost all of the island dinos would be in it

but yeah cool to finally see a lot more of them

[crude wave]

i can't wait to see animated giga getting eaten by animated argys, piranhas and aaaaaaaaaaants

[velvet temple]

I wonder how long helenas dodo will last

[steel widget]

i mean we already saw 1 animated boss with the broodmother

[fervent stag]

"ARK: The Animated Series will release on a to-be-announced platform in 2023" yeeeeep, it got delayed

[dense blaze]

I love when Helena shoots the tek rifle and get shot backwards

[fervent stag]

Seems like Helena dies from a drug overdose.

[velvet temple]

yeah mei yin defied gravity to do some flippy shit

[spice imp]

Ahhh it looks so cooool

[steel widget]

i mean she tamed a rock drake without stealing a egg, she's known to defy our basic laws

[velvet temple]

that is true

just more proof she is using cheats

[grizzled sand]

Mei is a admin

Of the server

[steel widget]

can't forget her brining a giga to fight the megapithiecus

[fervent stag]

Let me correct myself.
It looks like pre-ARK Helena died from a drug overdose after her wife died.

[grizzled sand]

Lmao

[velvet temple]

mei yin, spawns in lvl 1000000 giga to wipe nerva

[simple thorn]

oh hey

sotf and tv show

[kind oxide]

That sabertooth looks sick af

[steel widget]

i didn't expect Karl Urban to sound like that while playing Bob, i'm just more used to how he talks in The Boys

[velvet temple]

also Helenas wife has a trilobite tattoo, will neddy the noodle stan her?

[twin swan]

bruh praise bob is no more

:C

[steel widget]

[fervent stag]

It's called 'acting'

[modern rover]

2023 🥲

[grizzled sand]

I thought the same thing as soon as I saw it😭

[fervent stag]

I love the many, many nods from the game.

Biggest one is the axe flipping that Bob does.

Or the fact swarms of piranha's where fucking over someone.
'As they always do'

[velvet temple]

Helena is lucky that the fish she caught was eaten by the troodon and not her

[grizzled sand]

Bob is such a chad

[dense blaze]

Bob is the way

[fervent stag]

Don't know why they renamed the channel back to this.
We're just going to proceed to spam Bob again once this news dies down.

[worn belfry]

but color me suprised

[west cedar]

no bob is a god

he is a being beyond our mortal comprehension

[crude wave]

not in atlas though

[west cedar]

no not in atlas

only on the arks

[kind oxide]

I’m wondering what’s gonna come of him though

[grizzled sand]

I can’t even process everything that’s happening

[west cedar]

Cant wait

i will say that it does seem to have a more mature vib to it which is good

[crude wave]

isn't atlas a gen1 reskin?

[fervent stag]

Yes we did?

[fervent stag]

Rockwell was the one talking when they where talking about what the ARK's where

[worn belfry]

atlas is a clusterfuck

[crude wave]

blackwood is pretty good

[surreal pier]

Not relevant to this channel either, this is the animated series

[dense blaze]

That’s why I said “didn’t hear much”

[fervent stag]

It was enough for me.

[fervent stag]

It's a ARK reskin as a whole

[west cedar]

idc i need to grinde sotf

[surreal pier]

Take that to #tsotf then let this channel go back to hyping up that amazing trailer

[west cedar]

true i will say the animation was ahhhhhhh so good

[surreal pier]

It was beautiful

[west cedar]

yaayayayay

[surreal pier]

[west cedar]

Bob made a good appearance

Mei-yin also :0

[full flare]

I hope bob becomes a plot relevent character

[worn belfry]

I can't wait to see a grasslands filled with pillars and metal foundation and the alpha tribe with a max imprinted Rex in the series for accuracy :Trol

[velvet shadow]

That was

Not
That good I'm gonna be honest

[worn belfry]

Kinda wanna know how they gonna explain the process of enslaving T-rexes

[velvet shadow]

That was goofy.

[west cedar]

shhhh let it happen

[worn belfry]

now theres gonna be a beta release for episode 1 then 2900 updates over a 5 year period until we get the show

[sonic warren]

Hahahaha bob I love him 😂 also he’s a little less Bobby than I expected

[west cedar]

hmmm bob guardian of bobs

[sonic warren]

Alpha bob 😂

[west cedar]

bob prime

[velvet shadow]

Helena's personality in ARK: Clinging onto who she truly is or was, surviving to learn the truth and for others who will come after her
Helena's personality in TAS: Gay
Bob: Bob :chad:

Mfw they sidestep 80% of what actually happened on The Island

And we didn't even see Rocc Wall

[west cedar]

i mean its not going to follow the cannon directly

they said so themselves

and im sure we will see rockwell santiago and others when it drops

[fervent stag]

She had no motives other then 'ooooh, dinosaur' till Aberration happened.

[iron vault]

The series isn't even out yet 💀

[velvet shadow]

I can understand that entirely, but they wholeheartedly ignored everything that happened on The Island from how it looks.

[velvet shadow]

How much would you like to bet?

Been a phenomenal experience making this show with the uber-talent at @lexandotis and the writers @EvilMarguerite & @KenFromSanta. I know folks would like a more specific date than '2023', but I can say it wont be too far into 2023 for Season 1 & Season 2 should drop in 2023 too!

Please tell me I'm wrong, I am begging you

[iron vault]

[west cedar]

theres not much that can scare him

[worn belfry]

Bob

[main gazelle]

How many episodes are each season? Or do we know yet?

[west cedar]

stel think of it in another way, you have MORE lore to analyze

[velvet shadow]

12 iirc 14 ig

[iron vault]

14 each

[worn belfry]

at least 2

[iron vault]

I think it was 14 🤔

[west cedar]

first season was 14 30 minute eps

[oak brook]

you are extrapolating on entire season revolving around The Island from a few min trailer....whatchu think I'm gonna say lol

[sonic warren]

Lmao

We went spoilers

And not jat type

[oak brook]

anyway

praise Bob

[west cedar]

yes

[sonic warren]

Helenaaaa

[west cedar]

Hot take here, but the dodo is the best character

[west cedar]

Ikr, i expected him to be humble and a bit clumsy, but there he was, doing it great

[iron vault]

I wonder if the series actually can cover all of scorched, aberration and extincton in 2 seasons 🤔

[sonic warren]

Right he’s an alpha bob for sure XD

[worn belfry]

if this doesn't have vin diesel as obi wan im removing ark from my steam library

[west cedar]

[sonic warren]

He’s all educated and stuff 😂

[west cedar]

My mind cannot be changed

[sonic warren]

XD

[fervent stag]

And as Dollie said before, if I recall. This is loose-canon.
If you don't like what you see, then it isn't canon to you.

[west cedar]

idrc i just want to see some buatiful ark stuff

[velvet shadow]

She said that to me, actually. I memba. I just don't like the looks of the direction so far. I am craving to be proved wrong.

[iron vault]

If Vin is in the series then aberration must be in the series since santiago shows up first on aberration 🤔

[fervent stag]

If you don't like what you see, then why're you in this channel?

[sonic warren]

🤔 otters are on the island so I am sure there will be otters

[velvet shadow]

To express the opinions I'm so very entitled to.

[west cedar]

hmmm i need to see my drakey bois

[sonic warren]

[fervent stag]

No ones entitled to anything in life.

[iron vault]

I just wonder if the show will be "rushed" since aberration is a bit into the story

[velvet shadow]

I am to my own opinion. Not sorry.

[worn belfry]

nuh uh
(source: my uncles granduncle dogs first cousin works at wildcard)

[velvet shadow]

Anyways, back on topic.

[sonic warren]

XD I saw some bones around necks

[fervent stag]

Seems like the first two seasons are on The-Island. (but I could be wrong)

[sonic warren]

[velvet shadow]

WHY isn't that an Emoji here WHAT

[sonic warren]

Ikr

[iron vault]

Yes but then why is Vin listed in the cast? I mean his character appears first on aberration

[sonic warren]

Must yell to the admins, I think that’s actually from @dapper ridge discord

[fresh flame]

From what I have heard he has had an active role in a bunch of the show. I don't know any details though so it's all speculation

[sonic warren]

There could be flash backs and flash forwards too we really just don’t know much yet

[velvet shadow]

Apparently Butler had a hand in direction too?

[iron vault]

It's strange

[fervent stag]

A: It could be early casting, so we know his character will exist when we get to him.
B: They could have two seperate storylines going on, one on pre-destroyed Aberration and the other on The Island
C: They could do something totally different and have Santiago start of The Island.

[fresh flame]

Bob is literally the best, they couldn't have picked a better voice actor lol

[velvet shadow]

I'm going to watch this over about eight hundred times, it's hyperanalysis time. 🤓

[west cedar]

true plus season two was also on scorched i think

[sonic warren]

LOL let me know what you come up with XD

[iron vault]

I think it would be kind of whack if they skipped out on the different maps

[sonic warren]

I need to go YouTube ark lore for bobs

[worn pike]

Each season should be a new map

[velvet shadow]

From my analyshish I can tell that Bob is enthirely, one hundred pershent BOB

[sonic warren]

Let’s not bypass filters, plus that’s a super ugly word surely won’t be used in the series

[iron vault]

Bob.

@west cedar yes

[dapper ridge]

Lol, don't think we want to incentivise drinking bob xD

[sonic warren]

Maybe it’s WATER

[velvet shadow]

I think the trailer is inferring Helena died of overdose

[sonic warren]

[dapper ridge]

[sonic warren]

Don’t have my glasses lmao it’s an axe and a water bottle for sure

[fresh flame]

I was close lol

[sonic warren]

True ^ haha

[steel widget]

the trailer should've been narated by Bob and shown just Bob alone

[velvet shadow]

Yes

Bob: The Animated Series

[frosty dove]

not to be that guy but, considering recent stereotypes regarding lgbtq+ people, having the (lgbt) main character commit suicide feels... a little tone-deaf to me? i absolutely get it in terms of storywriting, she's heartbroken over her wife's passing, but it's just, probably not the best path to have taken considering the fact that suicide rates for lgbt people are often used against them

[velvet shadow]

What

[bright meteor]

[velvet shadow]

I mean I don't like it either but I don't really see it as being tone deaf

[frosty dove]

i'll explain

[velvet shadow]

If I had a nickel for every time a gay character killed themselves in ARK, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[frosty dove]

very often and very commonly, especially online, people who are queerphobic tend to wave around statistics of lgbtq+ people who have committed suicide to show that there's "something wrong" with them and that being gay is inherently bad

like yeah thankfully her death wasn't due to bigotry, but still

[velvet shadow]

I

Bob.

Back to Bob.

[frosty dove]

and also saying this as someone who has had multiple LGBTQ+ people agree that the suicide was probably not the best path to take for the main character who is a queer poc

not to bring down the mood; i am very excited for this

[shadow escarp]

🗿 🗿

[frosty dove]

just figured i should say it somewhere

[vocal torrent]

Praise Bob!

[west cedar]

not really no im bi and i don't think it was very insensitive

[fresh flame]

I'll do it for you. PRAISE BOB!!!!!

[frosty dove]

that's fair, but as someone who knows multiple lgbtq+ people, they agree with it

[velvet shadow]

I'm angy dat Mei and Helen killed Beeg Spidey instead of Beeg Monke

[west cedar]

i can see where your coming from but i don't think they meant anything by it

[frosty dove]

YEAH i don't think they did either

i don't think they had any malice whatsoever, that's not what i'm saying here

what i'm saying is that it probably wasn't the best option to take

[west cedar]

hmm maybe maybe not we will have to see how it plays out i mean theres a whole bunch that could also lead to a downward spiral

[frosty dove]

yaeh!

[velvet shadow]

Helena overdosed on the Narcoberries

Cri if you like everytiem

[frosty dove]

joking about suicide isnt funny

[fresh flame]

I mean, I take it as she lost her other half. Regardless of orientation that does break a lot of people.

[velvet shadow]

This is a game where you can die by eating your own shit, Tri

Overdosing on fecal matter foley is hilarious in this context

[fresh flame]

Let's focus on the good we saw in the trailer though.

[frosty dove]

yeah absolutely, and i do see it that way! it's just the fact that she's currently the only character we know who passed in such a way, and is also lgbt and a person of color

i don't think they meant anything by it, i agree

[velvet shadow]

Fun fact the eating doodoo mechanic was introduced to help players who were stuck in areas they couldn't get out of
But I digress

[frosty dove]

but still it's worth noting

[west cedar]

like i said we have to wait and see

[fresh flame]

Bob though. I actually what to know his life story from before

[mental patrol]

He has no story, he is just Bob

[velvet shadow]

Okay, all jokes aside, let me get into le meat and potatoes of what I really think.

[west cedar]

bob is bob

[sly vector]

when is it releasing?

[vocal torrent]

i guess we finally have a western isekai anime

[frosty dove]

2023 is all we know

[fresh flame]

Like Helena spawned in with hide armor, so why did Bob Spawn in with underpants and never bothered to change

[vocal torrent]

c h o s e n o n e

[worn belfry]

bob is just built diff

[frosty dove]

bob just felt like feeling free

[sly vector]

that sucks. just a year? smh if it doesnt come out next week imma be sad

Been a phenomenal experience making this show with the uber-talent at @lexandotis and the writers @EvilMarguerite & @KenFromSanta. I know folks would like a more specific date than '2023', but I can say it wont be too far into 2023 for Season 1 & Season 2 should drop in 2023 too!

[wintry vigil]

Finally! After waiting for so long, it's here! Man, I'm really excited to see a series of one of my favourite games!

[fresh flame]

Just for when people ask

[west dragon]

He knew armor was holding him back, thus time to strip~

[sly vector]

smh cant post the image...

[worn belfry]

the dodo is my new favorite character

[velvet shadow]

Sad about the delay, for one.
Don't like Helena at ALL so far, I prefer Bob. Upset we didn't see Rockwell, not happy about it at all. Bob is Bob, and that's a fact. He looks pretty cool unironically. The Dodo is cute. A little upset that from what I'm seeing they aren't following the hard lore, which could be good or bad, hasn't come out yet. And... I think that's kind of it. As of now, I'd give it a 7/10. Doesn't look bad, I can tell it had a lot of love poured into it, but I don't like the implied direction so far. That doesn't mean it's that way for everyone else, nor should it be.

[velvet temple]

Helena spawns in a tank top and shorts and then after bob hands her the bag she is wearing the cloth armor so I guess bob carries Helena sized clothing around with him

[sly vector]

bc he likes a nice breeze

[surreal pier]

I'd already pinned it

[velvet shadow]

Bob is secretly Alpha Tribe and he just gives the other Bobs stuff.

[fresh flame]

Oohh, lol. I didn't see that

[sly vector]

[frosty dove]

overall i really enjoy helena and victoria and their backstory, the animation feels a little jank at times but it's fine, also t rex has thumbs lol. lmao

the voiceacting is great too

[fresh flame]

That's a fair point. Tbf though, the lore in game is based on journals people kept. That doesn't necessarily mean that that is how things actually happened. But it is definitely a different spin

[frosty dove]

the direction still feels too off canon though

[worn belfry]

bob is in it
/10

[sly vector]

dangit. wanted bigger bob

[velvet shadow]

That's what I'm saying, I excepted it to be loose, but this is extremely loose.

That's my number one problem with it so far.

[vocal torrent]

it's very off-canon

[velvet shadow]

Extremely. But that doesn't mean it's bad, necessarily.

[sly vector]

eh once she meets edmund rockwell all will be fine

[vocal torrent]

she met Mei immidiately, she met Bob before she became a Homo Deus

[velvet shadow]

(And I'm not just saying this because Dollie is currently throwing me into an Industrial Grinder I promise.)

[sly vector]

was the trailer not to showcase what there was and not the order of things? might just be alot in between we dont see

[vocal torrent]

well at least i start a Bob worshiping cult after that hard argument lol

[velvet shadow]

Nobody:
Dollie: "If I... push you in a meat grinder...."

[vocal torrent]

nope... it felt like a jumbled mess

[frosty dove]

the trailer felt like i waws being slapped around repeatredly

i didnt even pick up on how helena died until a rewatch

[vocal torrent]

not pretty

[velvet shadow]

Trailer is EXTREMELY slow

[frosty dove]

also... being showed nerva but not rockwell ???

[vocal torrent]

normally isekais start with a careless jaywalking and a Isuzu Elf truck

[frosty dove]

nerva is the antagonist of the island, sure, but rockwell is like, VERY prominent

[velvet shadow]

Nerva was more important tbf

Rockwell was way more important on Scorched

[frosty dove]

not in the grand scheme of things though

[velvet shadow]

This isn't the grand scheme, like Dollie said, it's S1

[velvet temple]

this is what I don't understand they use the words off cannon but like the animated series is a completely separate entity to the game so what story they want to tell only matters to the lore nerds who think that it needs to literally be the same story otherwise it literally means nothing and doesn't matter, but that makes no sense because the show still exists and the game exists and whatever story you like better is the one you like better and that is a you problem not a cannon problem

[west dragon]

Rockwell didn't really start showing instability until Scorched. Manipulative, sure but not evil element gremlin yet

[vocal torrent]

i mean it's 1st season.. it's like SE doesnt exist yet

[fresh flame]

Rockwell on the island was more of a supporting character imo. He didn't take the spotlight until later arks

[autumn haven]

If I had to bet Rockwell will be shown as a secondary "protagonist" in the second trailer

[frosty dove]

still- it'd be a good idea to at least show him off a little bit in the trailer

considering that helena met rockwell before mei yin

[vocal torrent]

the issue there is that people who dont know the Notes dont know that the Show is off canon, that is why

[fresh flame]

I mean, he'll be in the show...

[sly vector]

helena overdosed right?

[velvet temple]

no it doesn't matter

[velvet shadow]

Try retelling Harry Potter but in the way JK Rowling puts it nowadays
I know that's an awful example but that's what came to mind first
Actually that's a Godawful example I need to find a better one

[fresh flame]

They can't show everything in the trailer

[velvet temple]

its just a story

[frosty dove]

i never said he wouldn't? what i'm saying is that it'd be nice to show the character off even a little

[autumn haven]

The only real thing i'm not crazy about is Helena and Mei seemingly being a couple, as I think Diana is great, but at the same time I get why

[velvet shadow]

Like.. try telling tye Hungry Hungry Caterpillar, but without the fruit

Am I making sense here??

[frosty dove]

huh?

[velvet shadow]

Ya pickin' up what I'm puttin' down?

[velvet temple]

well then its not the hungry hungry catapiller, but there is not reason it needs to be either

[fresh flame]

I have no idea what you are saying tbh

[velvet shadow]

Ah, but it IS le Caterpillar in this case

[vocal torrent]

i mean it's season 1 and it's on the island (?)... i hold my opinion on that for a moment until they released AB

[autumn haven]

the recent extinction cutscene seems to hint at it, idk if I'm just seeing something in nothing

[velvet shadow]

I am awful at expressing my thoughts

As ye can tell

[sly vector]

"try telling a large complicated story in 3 seconds without using words"

[velvet temple]

no its a story with similar characters and settings but it has no reason to tell the same story as the game unless the creators want it too, if they want to tell a different story there is no inherent reason they need too, maybe you wont like it because of the story in the game but then thats a you problem and not a problem with the story itself

[karmic mirage]

"Stuff happens...the end.

[vocal torrent]

sums up the #lore-nerdz tbh

[sly vector]

i see words...

[velvet shadow]

That's not what they're doing, though. And that's not what we're saying.

[fresh flame]

🫶

[velvet temple]

well its not out yet is it

[sly vector]

couldnt have said it better myself

[vocal torrent]

[autumn haven]

Ark has always had a very loose story that's up to interpretation so it'll be fine

[velvet temple]

and everyone is making a billion assumptions because thats how people work, usually assuming the worst

[velvet shadow]

It'd like modern retellings of old Disney movies, they're supposed to be just that, like the Disney movies, but they just flop from ignoring the source material.

Which Dollie is hanging me on the ropes for, but I stay true to my opinion.

To me, this is like... say...
Old Mulan Vs. New Mulan.

THAT'S the kind of example I was searching for.

[vocal torrent]

basically the Fox and The Hound/The Ballad of the Belstone Fox... where the movie is not the same as the source material aside from names

[halcyon siren]

Series looks noice

[uneven ravine]

Bob is the best character EASY

Helena kinda ass

[autumn haven]

Still no streaming platform sadly :(

[velvet shadow]

And that's another problem, people drawn into TAS won't know the actual story by the looks of it.

[vocal torrent]

basically

[west cedar]

Maybe she’ll be better in the actual show?

[velvet shadow]

Like, I don't know the original Fox and The Hound. So that was a really good example.

A very, very good example.

[halcyon siren]

It's a trailer after all

[vocal torrent]

she is still ass in real lore.. she did admit it in the notes lol

[uneven ravine]

Ye

[velvet temple]

yeah but it only really matters if people don't like it also, its telling the story in a different medium as well

[brittle marsh]

i have a lot of hype

[halcyon siren]

Elaborate

[west cedar]

How so?

[vocal torrent]

i rather watch @quick heath's Explorer Note Recreation Vids

[halcyon siren]

Ok........

[velvet temple]

then do that.....

if you don't like the show then you can explain your reasoning why but they are not making the show for how you want it to be

[velvet shadow]

And we understand that.

[vocal torrent]

[velvet shadow]

We can still dislike somethings end result.

[vocal torrent]

yep

[velvet shadow]

Or even the teasers.

[vocal torrent]

like people hate ARK and love it at the same time

[velvet shadow]

And you might not dislike them. We are both equally entitled to our own opinions.

[velvet temple]

yeah you can dislike it but that doesn't make it a bad story or show because thats subjective

[velvet shadow]

If you like how it looks, good for you, I'm happy you like it.

If it's the other way around, you should feel the same.

Now if you'll excuse me... I have an excuse to watch the Polar Express, because it Crismash

[west dragon]

Enjoy the soulless void eyes

[west cedar]

Lol

[velvet shadow]

I never understood that

[vocal torrent]

praise Bob

[velvet shadow]

The technology was revolutionary

But to each their own!

[vocal torrent]

Praise Freaking Bob

[velvet shadow]

[velvet temple]

only if you have empathy or sympathy.... you aren't including sociopaths into your discussion, shame on you

[velvet shadow]

My bad

[velvet temple]

[halcyon siren]

Can't wait for the reveal at the end of the season when they find out they're on a massive space station

[west cedar]

that will be great

[oak brook]

I'm sorry if it came across like I was doing that. I don't feel my response reads that way but I accept you seem to. I do think you are filling in a lot of blanks from a very short trailer. I have no idea if you will enjoy the full season or not and I accept that you are so actively talking about it because you're so passionate about the game lore. We good

[west dragon]

I'll say, Ark Animated trailer had me in goosebumps the entire time. I'm very interested how the story beats will vary from the game's lore, but overall I'm just so happy this series is getting some love

[oak brook]

so happy you enjoyed it

[halcyon siren]

Agreed

[vocal torrent]

me agrees on that one... i am still consider that as a MCU moment and it's alright, me guess

[halcyon siren]

It was awesome I can't wait for it!

[fresh flame]

It was a great Christmas present imo

[halcyon siren]

Yep

[oak brook]

hehe

[velvet shadow]

🫡 I can hope to be proved wrong. I plan to support it either way, because regardless of my opinions on it, like I said, it obviously had an immense amount of work and passion put into it.

[crystal flint]

Good afternoon

[velvet temple]

some of the lines felt kind of weird with how they were stitched together in the trailer, but im guessing will be better in the actual scenes

[autumn haven]

I think my take is just hope that it's good, but there's not really much of a point in pulling a "We will not be watching" like it's twitter lol

[vocal torrent]

but hey a western made isekai... i am freaking down

[velvet temple]

I have literally no complaints in the animated department though insane job, very well done

[oak brook]

yay

[autumn haven]

once the show comes out I can't wait to debate what was good or not

[halcyon siren]

The creatures look amazing and the shot of the obelisk nearly made me cry it looked so GOOD

[velvet shadow]

Okay I'm gonna go watch the Polar Express now BYE

[vocal torrent]

i'd be switching my brain off and let the dopamine rus.. then rewatch for a more critical eye

[velvet temple]

my favorite moment so far was the one of Helena running into the guy on her parasaur while carrying the dodo at least in terms of funny

[fresh flame]

I didn't see the obelisk

[vocal torrent]

there is

[fresh flame]

I'll have to watch it again

[velvet temple]

there was a shot of one

[crystal flint]

when I do get my Cameo

[oak brook]

yeah I get that - trailer is very much highlights BOOM BOOM BOOM with a bit of a thread throughout that's intended to fill people in on some of Helena's backstory

[autumn haven]

That tek rifle tho

[crystal flint]

where Rockwell

[oak brook]

also

ALSO

a

[vocal torrent]

i know it's not lore accurate (since Mei did not fought the Brood in the notes)

but i do admit... Mei in GCM in Anime form chefs kiss

[velvet temple]

yes?

[fresh flame]

Yeah was confused about that too

[oak brook]

"so mei-yin is a badass just incase you didn't know"

[crystal flint]

Where a Rockwell

[velvet temple]

filming doctor who

[fresh flame]

I mean, she soloed the brood, on foot. That's like impossible

[velvet shadow]

Oh we knew
I just hope we get to see what happens to her and cough, Diana after Extinction if we get that far

[oak brook]

we're not gonna give the ppl everything all at once 🙂

[crystal flint]

It started when an element device did what it did
injected it into his wrist the secrets that it hid
now he's got super powers he's no ordinary kid
he's David Tennant

And if you see him you might be in for a big suprise
He'll turn into a flesh monster before your very eyes
he's tiny creepy fast and strong
he's every shape and size
he's David Tennant

Armed with Edmundium he's on the case
spreading his evil on Earth and Space
he'll never stop till he makes them pay
cause he's the baddest brit to ever save the day
DAVID TEN

DAVID TEN

[vocal torrent]

dangit Red

[oak brook]

what did i just read

lol

[velvet temple]

what is that a parody of

[vocal torrent]

Ben 10

[velvet temple]

oh

[autumn haven]

I thought it was the shia labouff song

[halcyon siren]

I wonder if the series is gonna cover Genesis Part 1 and 2

[velvet shadow]

ALSO while you're here Gareth said he didn't want to spoil the Gen2 ending when talking about TAS, so...
Rockwell arc? Gen2 is relevant to TAS? We're not getting an answer yet, are we.

[crystal flint]

don't we already know how it ends

[vocal torrent]

for me i will praise Bob when ever the chance

[velvet shadow]

Yeah that's why it's odd

[velvet temple]

or just didn't want to say anything because Jeremy and Jesse might get mad and he isn't fully aware of what he was and was not allowed to say

[velvet shadow]

It was when he was asked about TAS stuff, and he was referring to it

[velvet temple]

yeah but gen 2 wasn't out yet

[velvet shadow]

Yes it was.

[velvet temple]

oh wait

[granite radish]

so its not coming 2022 righr?

[vocal torrent]

nop

[velvet shadow]

It was a few months after Genesis.

[velvet temple]

yeah my brain no worky

[halcyon siren]

Maybe Bob will be a reoccuring character, and when Helena becomes a Homo Deus in Extinction (If the series gets to that point) maybe Bob will be the survivor we play as in Genesis Part 1 and 2

[agile sapphire]

Case #30586 @broken igloo has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting a unauthorised Discord invite link

[crystal flint]

well there's only 8 days left in 2022 so what do you think

[velvet shadow]

Totally.

[vocal torrent]

i meaaaaannn

[crystal flint]

wait wrong reply

[vocal torrent]

e

[velvet shadow]

I bet the reason it was delayed is because they don't have a platform yet.

[crystal flint]

I am the platfomr

man my messages are so much more unethusiastic on this server because of that no caps rule

[velvet shadow]

Polar Express is such a good movie

[halcyon siren]

Hopefully he doesn't die in Season 1

[velvet temple]

its why you get mod role, to bypass the bots

[autumn haven]

for some reason I thought scorched wouldnt be season 2 because of a post Jeremy made talking about it, along with a screenshot, but ig I was wrong about that

[velvet shadow]

Did he confirm it?

[velvet temple]

I don't think so

but we know both s1 and 2 are coming next year

[crystal flint]

No John and Raia?

It's a bit weird to have two Native american guys with the same name in the same show

I would exect the romance story to have been cut out

[velvet temple]

I dont think they have the same name

[crystal flint]

which I think is a bit weird since it seems so well fit for a show where the main focus doesn't seem to be narrative

John Dekaya, John Idontknowtheotherguysname

[velvet shadow]

Don't question it.

[crystal flint]

I think Dollie left after she saw my Dave Ten pitch

[velvet shadow]

Nah I bombarded her with the Gareth stuff

[crystal flint]

well, I've got a few hours to kill while SOTF installs its seperate download

[velvet temple]

im just sad we didn't get new music for the trailer

[velvet shadow]

Cries in Series X

[crystal flint]

Cries in 20mbps internet speed

[velvet shadow]

Wanna stream it when it's done?

[crystal flint]

I'm organizing a youtuber battle royale with the PvP youtubers

at least I'll try

[velvet shadow]

Souka

[crystal flint]

Why is SOTF a seperate download

[velvet shadow]

That's odd, it's supposed to be a DLC

[vocal torrent]

i would freaking cry if that and Mei x Diana is cut out

you know it's not true to the lore without them

[fresh flame]

It's a separate game, but also not the animated shoe

[velvet shadow]

Bob the TV show

[crystal flint]

indeed, the series would be ruined

[vocal torrent]

Bob the Bob Series

[crystal flint]

not even bob could save it

[fresh flame]

Bob can save everything

That's like the whole point of the ark lore lol

[crystal flint]

Bob can save the universe, but can he save himself

[vocal torrent]

after helena becames homodeus

[velvet shadow]

Can he save my parents' failing marriage

[crystal flint]

The Homo Deus have fosaken me, Allah is my only hope

[velvet shadow]

[vocal torrent]

can he save my mental sanity

[crystal flint]

[velvet shadow]

Can he save up to 15% or more on Car Insurance

[past moss]

Everybody gangsta till “names Bob”

[west cedar]

This isn't realistic because Bob isn't deformed

[velvet temple]

but bob is supposed to be default settings

its the un-customized character since they didn't even customize the name

thing to note: Gerald Butler and Russel Crowe are listed as executive producers along with Vin Diesel btw at the beginning of the trailer

[crystal flint]

When you sacrifice creative control as an incentive for famous actors

seriously what

why?

[velvet temple]

executive producer is usually more for expanding marketing or pitching the show more than developing it although that can vary from project to project

they can have some amount of power but I doubt Jeremy and Jesse would make major changes because of it unless they liked the changes

[cold kraken]

After watching the trailer I’m more excited and need it to be out like yesterday lol

[velvet temple]

no wonder Nerva though he was sent by the gods, he has dramatically timed lightning from Zeus to back him up

[vagrant wadi]

Bob is life

[velvet shadow]

Me wanted see Rockwell

Crie

[rare umbra]

After seeing that trailer, I will no longer fight against Bob.

Bob is now the official goat, praise Bob

[naive cave]

bob is supposed to be a silly little dude who dies to dilos and tames dodos

not some macho guy who fight his way across all the island

[foggy wraith]

[dense blaze]

Praise Bob

[rare umbra]

[west dragon]

But he literally says to Helena 'I hope you're not trying to domesticate my dinner' 🤔

[velvet shadow]

Well, actually he was going to eat Helena, and he was talking to the Dodo.

Cannibob.

[hot crescent]

[vocal torrent]

real bob

[velvet shadow]

[hot crescent]

Im confused about what happened at the start of the trailer

[velvet shadow]

Uhhhhh Helena gay
Helena wife die
Helena suicide

[hot crescent]

OHHHH

[velvet shadow]

Then Helena dinosaur

[hot crescent]

I didn't realize she died

[velvet shadow]

Why did they have Helena kill herself

[west dragon]

Technically Helena Megalodon

[velvet shadow]

True, Helena beeg feesh

[hot crescent]

🦈

[velvet shadow]

Then Helena Dodo

[hot crescent]

Then helena bob

[velvet shadow]

Then Helena dinosaur

[hot crescent]

Cant forget bob

[velvet shadow]

I still can't believe they had Helena kill herself

That is so unlike her

[west dragon]

Might be an out of context scene

[hot crescent]

I didnt notice her kill herself either what

Did she.l. Respawn

[velvet shadow]

Aha, Helena didn't kill herself, turns out her wife didn't die, she faked her death and came back to their house, proceeding to strangle her to death

Plot twist

[hot crescent]

A

[velvet shadow]

Victoria has subversive intentions

[west dragon]

I think you're thinking a little too hard into this

[velvet shadow]

I'm joking kekw

[west dragon]

Just enjoy it for what it is

[velvet shadow]

Maybe I will
Maybe I won't
Most of my enjoyment is depending on Rockwell atm

Who we didn't see in the trailer

[west dragon]

Saving the best for the next trailer

[velvet shadow]

God I hope

[west dragon]

Probably with viewing platform reveal

[velvet shadow]

I'd bite if I got to see Rockwell's past life, but I think we're just seeing Mei/Helena's

Mei has cast listings for her relatives, and so does Helena

Rockwell does not...

[west dragon]

Family might not be important to his character/background

Unlike VinDiago

[velvet shadow]

I just wanna see him before he became a hentacle 😦

[west dragon]

Plenty of time. S1 seems to run up until Island bosses, might not include Ascension if they follow game mechanics, but we get all of Scorched to get familiar with Rockwell

[velvet shadow]

I don't think we're getting Scorched

Minus the coma part

And only in TAS

Uhhhh they made her a TV show character

Well in original ARK lore they dug up people's brains to clone pretty much

[dense blaze]

I would assume she dies but it’s transported to the ark

[velvet shadow]

But TAS isn't canon, so idk in this context

[tidal steppe]

Why did they have to ruin Bob?

[velvet shadow]

Hey they perfected Bob

Helena is the one they flopped imo, which is probably a hot take, but...

[tidal steppe]

His first words were not 'Can I join a tribe?' That's not Bob

[crimson radish]

When does the animated series come out

[dense blaze]

I like that Dee Bradley baker is doing the vocals for the dinos and that

:/

[velvet shadow]

I wouldn't go that far, bud.

[dense blaze]

It’s been like that from the beginning of ark lol

[autumn haven]

aaaaand now it's just bigotry

[dense blaze]

Helena was always lesbian

[velvet shadow]

She hasn't.

I agreed with Steven up until the bigotry lmao.

[dense blaze]

Be respectful please.

[velvet temple]

I dont understand how it is ruined though?

[autumn haven]

lol werent you just saying a moment ago that you wanted to know when it came out

the bigotry is insane

[velvet shadow]

Yep.

Man went full 180.

[velvet temple]

so using the word safe is implying that this is somehow harmful, can you explain further?

[velvet shadow]

Look, here's the thing. I don't like the fact that they made Helena gay. But I wouldn't go nearly as far as any of you clowns. We are not the same.

I'm just upset they forced it, I loved the Mei/Diana dynamic.

[iron apex]

and I bet it will be filled with alot of llgbt flashbacks aswell to keep em happy way to ruin a great cartoon

[velvet shadow]

They could've done it so well- and maybe they did. It's not out. But I don't like the looks of the trailer.

[autumn haven]

...ark has always had gay couples, yall can just chill

[velvet shadow]

Yeah.

[autumn haven]

since aberration

[velvet shadow]

Mei-Yin and Diana???

[velvet temple]

what do you mean by forced? you mean because its a main character or because it wasn't in the notes, I don't think either are valid critisms

[iron apex]

its off my list of things now anyway

[autumn haven]

My take is that I dont mind helena being lesbian because that's cool, I just think Mei is better off with Diana

[surreal pier]

[dense blaze]

Nothing wrong with her being like that

[velvet shadow]

• Out of nowhere
• Ruined Helena's personality imo, I hate depression Helena

[velvet shadow]

And she is, isn't she?

Mei stayed with Diana.
