[iron orchid]

depression helena?

[dense blaze]

Would you not be depressed if the person you loved died?

Ik id be depressed af if my bf died

[velvet shadow]

No, not really. People die. I'm gonna die too one day.
I'm aware it's a hot take.

I swear I'm not an emotionless husk.

[velvet temple]

how is it out of nowhere, and I doubt her sexuality changes that much about how she reacts to her partner dying

[velvet shadow]

Ou really?

[iron orchid]

that sounds like an emotionless statement

[velvet shadow]

I'm aware.

[iron orchid]

even when i knew someone i loved was going to die, i still was very, very sad when they did

[tidal steppe]

My only issue with the trailer is Bob doesn't sound like any Bob I've ever met.

[iron orchid]

that's just being human

[velvet shadow]

I cry watching Disney movies and have a straight face when a friend dies. I have no clue where my emotions are.

[velvet shadow]

Did you expect him to be eating his mic?

[iron orchid]

then helena is acting as your average human

[tidal steppe]

No, I expected him to be running screaming from raptors and complaining about starving

[surreal pier]

I was expecting his voice to be a bit deeper ngl

[tidal steppe]

Or begging to join a tribe

[velvet shadow]

I still don't like it. It came out of nowhere. But again, please separate me from those clowns. I wish nothing bad onto the show or its creators because of the descision. I'm just a lore purist.

[velvet temple]

where is the [][][][][] tribe?

[autumn haven]

I think it's a nice subversion of how Bobs are normally

[kind oxide]

I feel like the twist’s gonna be that Bob acts like a survival expert up until Helena meets someone actually competent

[velvet shadow]

They hate TAS Helena because they hate LGTBT.
I dislike TAS Helena because I don't like how she's acted so far.
We are not the same.

[iron orchid]

i mean the show is made by the ark creators so it is still lore, just new lore

[velvet temple]

what do you mean by came out of nowhere, do you mean not in the notes because I really don't think we should be basing opinions about the show based on the notes, and if you don't like that that is fine but expecting an adaptation to be exactly like the source material almost always ends in disliking the adaptation

[velvet shadow]

Noncanon lore, but lore nevertheless.

[dusty tree]

Yall-

[autumn haven]

we know Helena to be the one who knows almost every creature, but then we see a clueless Helena being helped by a Bob, its cool

[dense blaze]

Where is it stated that it’s non canon?

[iron orchid]

did they say this is noncanon to the story?

[velvet temple]

people using the word non cannon in this way makes me so fucking mad, its not cannon to the game lore, but its cannon to its own lore

[surreal pier]

I'm pretty sure it's cannon

[iron orchid]

well she's gotta start somewhere

[velvet shadow]

Yeah, Dollie said it. I'll find it.

[velvet temple]

they are seperate stories

[tidal steppe]

I'd love a survival note from one of the Tek era people asking 'Why are there so many Bob's and Joe's in the database?'

[autumn haven]

at the very least, I'm pretty sure it's an alternate take on the story

[surreal pier]

@dusty tree you can contact the moderation team by messaging Dodo Mail at the top of the members list.

[dusty tree]

Thanks.

[crystal flint]

It's not canon

[velvet shadow]

Yeah. NOt canon to the original ARK story, is what I mean.

[crystal flint]

Dollie did say that Animated series is not canon to game lore

[velvet shadow]

It can be its own separate canon, while not being canon to the game lore.

[autumn haven]

yep, that exactly

[west cedar]

if it was too canon , it wouldnt even have seasons. in a few episodes theyd be done with it

[velvet temple]

at the end of the day though, its just a story and you should treat it as such

[velvet shadow]

It's what we'd call a retelling.

[velvet shadow]

I... am?

[west cedar]

i mean solely based on the notes found in-game

[velvet temple]

yeah but arguing about cannon never ends anywhere

[west cedar]

yep

[velvet shadow]

We shouldn't be arguing when it's already been stated noncanon to game lore.

[exotic pier]

Cannon like what’s on pirate ships ? I will take “ new sayings for a $1,000 Alex”

[west cedar]

it wasnt shown in trailer , but did they make the animated series with death and respawn like in the game? the battles were too large scaled in the trailer , so i assume they die at some point , + at some point one character said shed use 1000 lives die 1000 times to fight the guy , or smth like that

[velvet temple]

yeah lets stick to that kind of cannon for now

Im pretty sure there is a pirate character

[crystal flint]

separate stories maybe, one's just worse and I'll ignore it entirely and regard any references to it in game as plot holes

[tidal steppe]

Cannon should be her waking up on a beach, not out in a megalodon's mouth...

[velvet shadow]

I hope not, because it was only after Helena died that SHE made respawning possible.

[iron orchid]

i would imagine no, i don't think there is respawning since in the game lore respawning didn't start happening until after helena ascended

[velvet temple]

I dont really care about that part, I just don't want it because it takes away from the stakes

[velvet shadow]

Bro...

You don't care about the l-

My brother in Christ.....

[west cedar]

i mean spawns can get bugged... so it may still be canon 😏🤭

[crystal flint]

Helena also isn't aware that she died in the In-game story until she finds teh cloning chambers

[velvet temple]

no I just don't care about game lore when it comes to what the show is trying to do

I am treating it as a seperate story

[exotic pier]

What ?

[velvet temple]

because it is

[autumn haven]

I'm imagining the most major changes will be near the end, to give finality to the story Mei (and possibly Diana) will defeat the king titan

[velvet temple]

just kinda similar to the game one

[west cedar]

maybe in next seasons there will be , then.

[crystal flint]

it's just worse

[velvet shadow]

RW may be good tho

[velvet temple]

I mean most characters must assume that they died

[velvet temple]

note helena is very oblivious anyway

[autumn haven]

Personally I disagree because a. we dont have the full story, just trailers, and b. The ark story can only be found through random notes that are found out of order

but that's just me

[velvet shadow]

Just meticulously find them in order, skill issue

[crystal flint]

if it comes out and is actually really good, I still won't regard it as the actual canon for the games, there might be things better then Marc's story, but there is nothing like it.

[velvet temple]

it takes her to see a kangaroo to even start thinking that the arks are an artificial ecosystem even though she find plenty of evidence to support this theory beforehand

[velvet shadow]

Nope

[crystal flint]

dinosaurb

[velvet shadow]

Imma hop into de showa this is going nowhere

[iron orchid]

agreed

[autumn haven]

yeah, just i feel that going forward, because this is the animated series chat, it's treated as canon in this chat

[velvet shadow]

This is factual

[velvet shadow]

Agreed, but if anyone asks, we who care about the game lore should make it clear that the 2 do not intertwine

[crystal flint]

well, then there's nothing to talk about then complain or praise, because we don't actually know what's going to be canon.

we still have to treat this as something which we know very little about because it is

[velvet shadow]

True... we have to see.

[west cedar]

lmao beach bob in the trailer BIG W!

[crystal flint]

The description for Santiago's characted does not align at all to BOTH in-game back stories he has

One of them is real, one of them is probably entirely Uma's lies (writer mistakes) , and this one just doesn't align with anything we know about the pre-ark story AT ALL

Santiago plays video games in a shack

and he sometimes does things for the Terran Federation

What is he "Freedom fighting" for?

[west dragon]

People getting so fussed over lore not matching game lore 😂
Like the Harry Potter movies were 100% accurate

Y'all need to chill and enjoy it

[crystal flint]

My brother in chirst i'm concerned because this looks worse then it easily could have been

[velvet shadow]

He's right.

But again. We haven't seen anything past these 2 trailers. It COULD be good.

I'll be there day one to watch it.

I'm supporting them either way.

And if it's bad, it's bad. They still worked hard on it.

If it's good, their good work payed off.

[rare umbra]

I

Well damn

[velvet shadow]

But as someone who's helped with MULTIPLE ARK-lore related videos, most of which have been seen by thousands of people, as someone who has read through every single explorer note multiple times, as someone who loves this story to death, it's a little hard to witness the change.

[dense blaze]

I mean I’m not watching it to pick it apart looking for stuff to be accurate
Just for fun and because I love ark

[west dragon]

Imagine completely judging a multi-season show based on a few minutes of the first trailer 🙃

[rare umbra]

I read through every explorer note video

This series will just be a visual recap for me

[velvet shadow]

Imagine being passive aggressive and ignoring the fact that I said 'I'm aware we haven't gotten much, so this is just speculation'

[rare umbra]

Anyone else excited to see Mei-Yin

And Rockwel

[crystal flint]

both of us said that too

[velvet shadow]

Don't treat it that way, they don't follow the same story. Neddy The Noodle has some good mini-movies he made on his Channel that would probably serve that purpose better.

BUT, please watch TAS.

[rare umbra]

I am

[velvet shadow]

You should at least support the hard work they've done.

Just be aware that they aren't the same story, is all.

I hope to God it's good. At least enjoyable.

I'd be happy if it was awful, I could have fun picking apart what's wrong with it.

[rare umbra]

So Mei-Yin will no longer be op? She brings Gigas into boss battles and KO tames rock drakes

[vocal torrent]

i hope it's something to turn your mind off for just like the MCU

[velvet shadow]

I mean.... she stabbed Broodmorher in TAS.

[vocal torrent]

i mean she did brood and speared her

[velvet shadow]

So she's still OP over here.

[surreal pier]

I'm so ready for it, look how good the animation is

[rare umbra]

They made both the main females lesbians and I’m kinda all for it tbh

[dense blaze]

That’s how I deal with spiders
Yeet a pencil at them

[surreal pier]

The troodon yoinking the fish is hilarious

[rare umbra]

Diana and Mei-Yin and Helaena and her wife now

[velvet shadow]

I want more Rockwell action. I think he's gonna save the show for me.

[vocal torrent]

i prefer Mei x Diana tho

[velvet shadow]

Meiana will always be peak.

[rare umbra]

Excuse me, what else would it be

[maiden egret]

Atleast they gave the megalodon the size it deserves

[vocal torrent]

Raia and Jhon as well... i want to cry in the anime

[velvet shadow]

I doubt they're going to Scorched.

Maybe they will. I hope they will.

[rare umbra]

I can’t believe they made Helaena kill herself like that

[surreal pier]

They're on the island now, I hope they eventually go to scorched

[surreal pier]

What.

[velvet shadow]

Same.

[crystal flint]

then explain the tek rifle

[vocal torrent]

if Ned's recreation of Jhon and Raia made my friends cry, i hope the anime will

[velvet shadow]

Yeah. Very unlike her.

[rare umbra]

It’s in the trailer, she overdoses

[velvet shadow]

That's why I said, this isn't my Helena.

[surreal pier]

I think I missed that part

[velvet shadow]

Yeah...

[rare umbra]

Then afterwards she finds happiness as if she didn’t off herself…

[velvet temple]

we barely know her character yet, literally 2 trailers

[rare umbra]

Like instantly… with Bob

[dense blaze]

It might not be that way
Trailers can be deceiving

[rare umbra]

Don’t domesticate bob’s dinner

[velvet temple]

might be adrenaline and also the insanity that is waking up in dino land

[vocal torrent]

it's kinda truely vomiting for me tbh... i know she cant handle the loss but not to that extreme

[velvet shadow]

Our Helena would've been upset for awhile, then pick herself up and go at life TEN TIMES harder than before, she would snap herself out of it. She'd live for her and Victoria's sake.

[rare umbra]

Yeah, she’s not out Helaena

[velvet shadow]

Ikr. You know it's bad when I'm reluctant over two trailers.

[crystal flint]

blow up local hospital

[rare umbra]

This is anime backstory helga, that isn’t Helaena

[velvet shadow]

YEAHHH

[vocal torrent]

Helena villain arc

[rare umbra]

Animated Helaena is her evil twin helga obviously

Taking her identity

[west cedar]

plot twist. Helena becomes obsessed with element and becomes villain... Rockwell doesn't and teams up with Bob to defeat Helena o_O

[velvet shadow]

Helena: Picks herself up, goes at life harder with a middle finger to the sky, living for both of them
TAS Helena: Depression (I'm really not gonna dog on suicide here because it's not appropriate, I know the boundaries.)

[vocal torrent]

if helena isekai'd normally, i would accept that

[crystal flint]

Alternate story where injecting element just makes Rockwell super buff and he singlehandedly strangles the king titan to death

[velvet shadow]

Of course TAS Helena goes at it even harder on The Island, but like... too little too late, you're already dead.

[velvet shadow]

Tik Tok

[rare umbra]

Same

[velvet shadow]

Heavy like a Brink's truck

[vocal torrent]

?

[crystal flint]

lookin like im tip top

[velvet shadow]

Look it up. TF2 Tic Tock.

:troII:

[velvet temple]

nonononono, you can't do this to me

[crystal flint]

on your school computer

[velvet temple]

ok but where is bob trollface emoji

this discord needs it

[vocal torrent]

🚚

the only acceptable isekai

[surreal holly]

Yo

[crystal flint]

[dense blaze]

[surreal holly]

What happened what's the new reveals

[velvet temple]

new trailer

[velvet shadow]

I thought Helena would've died in an excavation disaster, like a collapse.

[velvet temple]

lotus I already told you

[surreal holly]

I saw that

But what new about it

[vocal torrent]

same... knowing paleo and stuff

[velvet temple]

that was the reveal

[velvet shadow]

Yep, but this isn't as good..
Not dogging mental illnesses, again, I NEED to make that clear.

I really do.

[crystal flint]

I thought Hamas killed her and Victoria after they took a wrong turn to the dig site

[eternal fractal]

I lowkey cant stop laughing at the fact that the series actually has a character named Bob

its like poglin all over again and I love it

[velvet shadow]

Helena veered off the road fart sfx vineboom clip of car rolling over kid's picnic

[eternal fractal]

hey FM I know you are watching

when we getting a Bob Squad role?

[velvet temple]

dammit bobby, did you end up on some no good dinosaur island

[crystal flint]

Animated series should have been a musical smh

[velvet temple]

it should be every genre and have infinite characters

[dense blaze]

It’s a Dollie thing
SipGang has priority tho
So get in line

[crystal flint]

Santiago's song is called "Stronger than Family"

[eternal fractal]

Im already signed up for sip gang

[dusty tree]

When does it come out?

[dense blaze]

2023

[dusty tree]

Does anyone know?

[eternal fractal]

gib nitro so I can sip classy

[velvet shadow]

2023

[dense blaze]

Just 2023 is all we know

[steel widget]

^

[dusty tree]

Hm ok

[surreal pier]

Also pinned.

[clever crater]

not up to me, i didnt even make the poglingang role

[velvet temple]

poglin though

[eternal fractal]

I know

I just knew you were watching and havent seen you in awhile and was wanting to say hi by very aggressively summoning you 😄

[velvet temple]

well yeah, FM is always watching

[eternal fractal]

always watching wazoski, always watching

[late comet]

Which streaming platform is coming out the series?

[velvet temple]

we do not know

we have not known, we will probably know early next year

[dense blaze]

[velvet temple]

ok animation nitpicking time, in the opening parts of helena washing up on the beach no sand sticks to her even though she is soaking wet

probably because that would be a pain to do but uh its called nitpicking

[dense blaze]

I don’t like sand it’s course rough and irritating and it gets everywhere

[iron orchid]

[velvet temple]

if any wildcard people are still seeing this, did you upload it anywhere with better decoding then youtube for better video quality?

[surreal holly]

I forgot where this was from

[iron orchid]

star wars attack of the clones

[calm island]

i dont like that this is no longer spam

[vocal torrent]

laughs in rocky ass beach

[vocal torrent]

needs more bobpraising

[steel widget]

[calm island]

[vocal torrent]

[velvet temple]

sand is just tiny rocks

[vocal torrent]

sand are skeletons of corals

[uneven ravine]

Why helena gay🤨📸

[fervent stag]

Why not?

She always drew Mei with a dump-truck.
She was always a bit 'sus'

[steel widget]

''Insert end of new extinction prologue and one of the notes on abberation as hard evidence''

the clues were always kinda there

[fervent stag]

I love people taking things out of proportion.

'Love' isn't just sexual, or romantic.
You can find love within friends.
Which (until proven otherwise) is most likely what she meant with Mei.

Unless she quickly recovers, her spouse just died, and she committed overdosing cause of it.
Unless they're going to have questionable writing, I don't think she's going to go with Mei after her spouse just died.

[steel widget]

yh, we can only wait to see how it unfolds in the series vs how it is in the notes. as the series isn't gonna fully folow the game canon

[vagrant wadi]

[dense blaze]

Bob my beloved

[cold kraken]

[main smelt]

Can we appreciate that Helena and Bob might become friends?

[astral seal]

why is it not called praise bob anymore

[steel widget]

Bob is responsible for setting the chain of events in motion by helping Helena. we truly should praise Bob for making the events possible

[astral seal]

dont tell me this entire channel is theories now

i want bob back

[scenic frost]

[uneven ravine]

[twin hare]

His name is bob

[fluid needle]

[rain pebble]

[feral gazelle]

[surreal pier]

Now we need more animated series emotes

[late geyser]

more bob and dodo pls

[twin hare]

Bob will have indirectly helped kill the King Titan if the series gets to extinction

[autumn haven]

I want to know the name of the dodo so badly

[late geyser]

Kevin

[twin hare]

It doesn’t matter if the main characters kill the titans or not, the players who ascended Abberation will still kill them and dat’s cannon

[autumn haven]

I do kind of hope a lot of the cast stays around after the island, or even some of them stay while others join helena and rockwell on scorched, and later on ab, etc.

Maybe have some characters like the Galidatrix and Bob stay around

[twin hare]

Bob must stay

[vocal torrent]

i wont mind when the ARKs go down and finish off with an Avengers style after the reseed protocol

[light tiger]

Trailer was kinda ehh but I’m still hyped asf

[vocal torrent]

same

aside from the Dodo tho

[light tiger]

Bob and dodo were the best part

[autumn haven]

The reaction a lot of people who have never followed ark before seems to be things like "Looks like Korra" and "Why is it so foggy?"

[vocal torrent]

bob is supposed to be the "new player", not a solo alpha chad but ok

[light tiger]

Bob is Bob

I love Bob

[late geyser]

real size megalodon

[vocal torrent]

i mean it looked like Korra in the first trailer

[twin hare]

Every solo alpha chad started as Bob

[late geyser]

Bob is gigachad

he have that axe animation

[vocal torrent]

the funny thing is, Mei Yin is louder than the Rex roar lol

[autumn haven]

I know I already said it but I like how the first person Helena meets is Bob, and he is the one to introduce her to everything. Bob is canonically stronger than the main character for a while. There's just a nice irony to that

[vocal torrent]

even though in game, she is introduce her self to Bob aka Us

[late geyser]

table have turn

we are supreme

[autumn haven]

The era of Bob has begun

[twin hare]

Bob is gonna wreck people up with his primitive spears

[autumn haven]

Praise him

[late geyser]

imagine the thing kill king titan is bob spear

[twin hare]

King Titan getting ready to do the mega punch

Everything in the vicinity will die

But….Bob throws a spear into the king titan’s head

It falls over and dies

[tidal steppe]

Bob nails it right in the eyes with two ascendent quality wooden spears he dual wield threw...

[twin hare]

Bob gets into the mega mech and then a tree as a spear

Wait no…mega mech is much bigger, he uses parts of Sanctuary as a spear

[tidal steppe]

Bob merges four mega mechs together to form the ultramegamech, nicknames it 'Zord' and proceeds to rip King Titan's limbs off, knock it out with them, and force feeds it until it begs to be his pet...

[twin hare]

He bolas it first

[steel widget]

"casually rips a skyscraper from the city and stabs the king titan to death"

[twin hare]

Bob will save the earth

Would be cool to see the king Titan like Godzilla earth

Have we thought of Bob fighting Nerva?

[tidal steppe]

Nerva might run

[steel widget]

"fight" bob easily solos nerva by tossing his ultra powerful hatchet

[tidal steppe]

Hits him long range with the dodo egg cannon first

[twin hare]

Nerva was trying to stop the convoy because it contained blueprints for an asc spear that was being delivered to bob

[steel widget]

He tried to slow down his inevitable fate

[twin hare]

Bob trained Mei Yin

[oak brook]

do new players often not think they are solo alpha chad's of the beach one week in until they learn otherwise?

Bob's extreme confidence is part of his charm or, at least, that's what we hoped you guys would think

[clever crater]

[wispy robin]

Well this is the first time I've seen ark-animated-series instead of praise-bob in a long time

Our loyalty to Bob shall never cease though

[oak brook]

[glossy river]

[clever crater]

Ill work on adding bob role soon!

[radiant rapids]

bob icon

[rose juniper]

does the show have a release date, or confirmed streaming platform?

[velvet shadow]

More Bob Emojis please

[velvet shadow]

2023

[rose juniper]

ok

[velvet shadow]

Got delayed due to lack of platform, methinks
Just a theory though

Please Christ be affordable...

[rose juniper]

i meant like, an officially stated date, like full date, not just a year

[rose juniper]

maybe

[velvet shadow]

Early 2023

[rose juniper]

ok, so no

[velvet shadow]

And Season 2 sometime afterwards, also 2023

[rose juniper]

ok

[velvet shadow]

Was kinda hoping for it before but oh well

Whaddya gonna do

Cancel Halloween Christmas?

[empty crater]

Bob will be real in 2023

[flint spindle]

[fluid needle]

[burnt flame]

can't get enough of bob's first line the trailer I've rewatched his parts like 100 times 😭

[copper kelp]

we also saw that Bob does smile

[pseudo spindle]

bob is such a chad

[fluid glade]

the beginning ruined the rest of the trailer lol

should've started the trailer at the ocean scene

[dense blaze]

[pseudo spindle]

nah its fine they gave some backstory to helena doesn't really matter what is it about

[lusty jolt]

[dense blaze]

Yea I loved the beginning
I’m excited to see Helena and her wife backstory stuff

[iron vault]

[scenic frost]

[vocal torrent]

Bob Fever

Dodo is hella adorbs tho, I would love to cut off everything in the series, leaving just the Dodo

[uneven rampart]

sorry when and where can we watch the series?

[vocal torrent]

No clue

[uneven rampart]

ok got it.. it was just an awesome teaser then

[feral lake]

They gave no releasedate?

[vocal torrent]

Nope

[feral lake]

Bruh

[final gyro]

Karl urban as Bob after the boys series . A pleasure 😄

[cinder creek]

2023, for the first 2 seasons

[cinder creek]

I was expecting the info about their partner yesterday, but didn’t happen

So no clue where we will watch it

[fathom lotus]

I didn't realise quite how toxic the ark community was till I read some of the comments to the trailer

[keen spindle]

oh yeah they're horrible. best to start your own little community with friends, it's a lot more fun imo

[fathom lotus]

Honestly tempted to start a project where I recreate ark how it was intended with inspiration from the animated series for the map but I don't think with its current engine it would run well and if I'm not making it as a mod, wild card wouldn't allow it.

[velvet shadow]

Seeing the cops was such a curveball

Not because I care about this version of Helena's backstory much

But the fact that they're just...

Regular old people

It's so jarring, seeing Helena in normal clothes, drinking wine, scrolling a phone, interacting with policemen

And then knowing what happens in the original story shit just gets crazy after that

I hope, if anything, they don't change the whole Element, cloning, Genship/ARK creation shtick from the original story.

But then again, they may not even get that far.

[velvet temple]

I mean they get to the point of killing bosses in the trailer so either s2 goes to scorched halfway through or the end of s1 does or s2 adds compelely new things that they have to do that werent in the notes

[cinder creek]

Well, if it was just about Bob farming and building his base it wouldn’t be that entertaining

The background is important to fill in the gaps where Ark the game couldn’t

[velvet shadow]

Ngl I'd still watch that

It'd be like TAS but not in Helena's time

[cinder creek]

Then just watch anyone playing on twitch right now 🤣

[velvet shadow]

It'd be a recreation of OUR story

Traveling The Island, taming an army, facing hostile tribes

All led by HelenaDeus

That sounds really fun, actually.

[cinder creek]

I mean, I don’t know if I will like the animated series story, but they need to build further the lore or it wouldn’t make sense to invest that much on the project

[velvet shadow]

I'm aware. That's why this is a hypothetical.

[cinder creek]

And I believe it will have some of that you describe

[velvet shadow]

I just think it sounds good.

If done right of course.

I don't wanna see 12 hours of Bob getting raided in a rathole 💀

What am I saying? Bob's too powerful. He'd be the one raiding.

[cinder creek]

Right? That’s why they should build further on the background of the characters

If I will like the plot, I don’t know

[velvet shadow]

I'm just stingy with le plot because it already looks too different from the source material

But it's got the same basic idea from the looks of it I guess

[cinder creek]

There’s no “source material”

[velvet shadow]

There... is?

[cinder creek]

They are building further

[velvet shadow]

Explorer Notes tell an awesome story. Genesis cutscenes, etc.

[cinder creek]

We don’t know much about Helena’s prior to Ark project

They are building upon that

[velvet shadow]

No no no, I mean The Island story.

Not character background.

We get a little about Helena, and a bit about Mei.

[cinder creek]

They seem to be doing both, that’s my point

[velvet shadow]

I'm referring to how stuff plays out on The Island.

[cinder creek]

They apparently will do both, tell characters background + arks lore

[velvet shadow]

That's the problem, they aren't telling ARK's story. It's its own story.

They diverge.

If that makes sense.

[cinder creek]

Which part of the trailer makes you believe that?

[velvet shadow]

... it's literally been confirmed by Dollie.

Also the fact that Mei never took on Broodmother, the added characters, new backstories, they get a TEK RIFLE on The Island, etc etc

[cinder creek]

I didn’t see that, but I didn’t see any divergences on the trailer

[velvet shadow]

You should reread the Notes, then.

What I'm saying is that they're superate entities.

They appear to follow the same story beats, but TAS goes different places with said story beats.

Such as Helena getting a TEK Rifle on The Island.

[cinder creek]

Helena isn’t a beach bob

[velvet shadow]

What

[cinder creek]

I don’t remember anything on the lore saying it wasn’t possible to get a tek rifle on the island. And Helena isn’t a regular survivor

[velvet shadow]

She would have mentioned it.

Also the fact that they took on the Megapithecus, not Broodmommy.

And again, all the added characters.

(I MUST see that captain.)

[cinder creek]

They are filling in the gaps, going further, if they limit the AS to what was told on Ark, wouldn’t make sense to me

[velvet shadow]

You at least understand what I'm saying, right?

They're telling their own stories, at the end of the day.

That's kind of a problem I have with TAS not being canon, it may confuse players new to the story.

[cinder creek]

Yes, but I didn’t see anything contradicting the arks lore on this trailer

[velvet shadow]

But grrrrr I'm here to ruin their fun by telling them it's not canon to the games grrrrr

[velvet shadow]

I've... pointed out like 3 big things my brother in Christ.

Plus Dollie saying it's not canon already.

[cinder creek]

BUT if Dollie said they are not sticking to the games lore, we will see

[velvet shadow]

Sí

[cinder creek]

And I disagreed with you about those points, that’s all

[cinder creek]

Fair enough, we will see

[velvet shadow]

You... you can't disagree with the facts though.

That's not how it works...

[cinder creek]

It’s not a fact survivors couldn’t have tek rifles on the island

[velvet shadow]

Yet it's a fact that Helena DIDN'T.

[steel widget]

🍿

god this is entertaining

[velvet shadow]

I am going to eat an entire rotisserie chicken in frustration with this conversation.

[velvet shadow]

Like 2 cracked-up rats locked in a cage.

[steel widget]

it's already a fact it won't be 100% accurate, it's more like a multiverse different events but same characters

[velvet temple]

no dont say multiverse

[velvet shadow]

That's certainly a description.

[steel widget]

[hybrid prism]

Where can I watch the series?

[velvet shadow]

It's just a retelling.

[velvet temple]

somewhere

in the future, we do not know yet

[velvet shadow]

Nowhere, it does not exist yet.

[hybrid prism]

Oh ok

[steel widget]

supposedly early 2023

[hybrid prism]

Thanks

[steel widget]

^

[velvet shadow]

And S2 sometime after in 2023

[velvet temple]

wait

flobs you got bob squad, no way

[velvet shadow]

As do I

[steel widget]

you can get it with the latest pinned message here

[velvet temple]

insane

[velvet shadow]

Bobbity Squaditty

[velvet temple]

yummy

I have eaten bob and taken his face next to my name

[velvet shadow]

NO WAIT

[steel widget]

so anyway, Bob will be to thank for setting the entire series in motion by helping Helena on the beach and guiding her instead of killing her for meat

[velvet shadow]

Or in the live action trailers where its the other way around

God the live action trailers aged like milk

[steel widget]

''insert multi word situation''

[velvet shadow]

Nani

[steel widget]

i can't say multiverse bc of Person

[velvet temple]

well tbh she does take the spear he missed the dodo with so she does have some level of "bargaining"

[velvet shadow]

It's not a multiverse though
Inset clip of black man sobbing and grabbing his head

[steel widget]

we just need a bob origin story and his character will be even more perfect

[gentle nexus]

I'm liking this so far.

[velvet temple]

ok, look at it this way, those are advertisements that have nothing to do with anything besides advertising the game

[velvet shadow]

I'm going to go do le stuff

See ya later

[vocal torrent]

that is pretty much us getting ambushed by ichys

[feral lake]

Damn ive been so excited for it to release in 2022

[arctic epoch]

Anyone else get that feeling bob will be taken from us to soon lol.

[tulip dirge]

I have a feeling bob may die every episode

[velvet shadow]

He can't though

If respawning works the same way in TAS

Unless Bob is cloned over and over again

I'd like to see that, that could work actually

[scenic frost]

[feral lake]

I wanna see a majorly deformed man spawn on the beach

Otherwise not accurate

[rare umbra]

Was thinking the exact same thing

[simple thorn]

i dont think respawn works until extinction

as per lore

and extinction would be the last season so like 🤷‍♂️

[vocal torrent]

i mean helena met bob before she became homodeus, so i cant say for sure how far off

[willow basin]

Do you think we’ll get multiple seasons, 1 for each map?

[west dragon]

2 seasons already confirmed, unsure if 1 season per map or if the story is going to take a different direction

[strong tide]

Bob looks even better in the trailer

[crude wave]

is it just me or is gigachad really bob's realistic version?

[fringe dawn]

[west dragon]

What do you mean? Bob is Gigachad

[feral lake]

The series wont go further than extinction?

[fervent stag]

W e d o n ' t k n o w

[feral lake]

Yea i figured. Just didnt know if the story ended after that dlc which ive heard a few people say

And i only get arknews from the announcements here in discord so idk if theyve posted something somewhere else lul

[zinc finch]

it would be absolute fire if the series could develop the lore around king titan and everything, like they say in the game

[open tendon]

[zinc finch]

even with the final fight against him, with the ost it would be absolutely lit

[fervent stag]

Specifically 'Helena's' story ends on Extinction.

The story in general is still going on.

[zinc finch]

it could be the story of bob itself with HLN-A after extinction tho

[fervent stag]

That's if he doesn't get killed of early or anything.

Or if they're even planning on going that far.

[zinc finch]

bob represents the "main player" in the series, right ?

[fervent stag]

Kind of.
He's his own character now.

[zinc finch]

yeah i see

[fervent stag]

In-game canon, the survivor never appears till after everyone is dead.

[jade spruce]

Omg the cult is gone

[zinc finch]

for the end of extinction, i wouldn't surprise me if bob could kill the king titan after helena ascension honeslty

[jade spruce]

Thank the lord

[zinc finch]

it's like the canon end but faster

[fervent stag]

Again, if he isn't killed off.

[zinc finch]

yeah

[fervent stag]

We don't see him in any other shots in the trailer after the waterfall scene.
'So that's a bit sus'

[zinc finch]

idk, there are equal chances for him to be killed at the beginning, or to pursue the series until the end

[west dragon]

Dollie helping to nurture our love for Bob, knowing full well he's dead by Ep2

[fervent stag]

I don't see that happening

[zinc finch]

imo, the story would be more logical if he survive

[fervent stag]

She wants to make us suffer, as we as a community made her suffer.

[fervent stag]

Well, that's your opinion.
I don't see anything logical about it.

[zinc finch]

ah, and the series are gonna be available on what platform ?

[fervent stag]

W e d o n ' t k n o w

[zinc finch]

oh

[west dragon]

If we did, it'd be pinned and announced

[rare umbra]

Mei-Yin my beloved

[crude wave]

but anime version

[main smelt]

100% this

[feral lake]

They said the series would act as a filler for the lacking parts of the lore that is hard for more casual players to find right?

So maybe its somewhat predictable to assume whats gonna be in the series

[wind belfry]

I assume some parts might be changed to be better, easier to understand.

[dense blaze]

[uneven ravine]

If bob is killed off im gonna have to intervene.

[fervent stag]

You'll also die.

[uneven ravine]

Ha id like to see that

[fervent stag]

'proceeds to fucking die'

[wind belfry]

I would die rather than have bob die tbh

[vocal torrent]

eventhough Mei did not fought brood in the Notes but instead it's a tribe

[rain pebble]

The copium in here over a little creative divergence making something canon or not is astounding

Whatever the developers say is canon is canon, simple as

[glass ibex]

[steel widget]

most copium can be found in #ark-2 or #tsotf atm, but ark 2 and release dates copium are always there

[vocal torrent]

wait when the new players find out that the Anime and the Notes is not the same

i mean there are some explorer note denials in the comments of the trailer video lol

[west dragon]

Wait till AS watchers play the game and find out there is no Bob

[steel widget]

''Blashphemy, where is the legendary bob in all these old texts''

[west dragon]

Perusing dung smeared notes, looking for words of our savior

Finding out it's just more creature pictures and LGBTQ propaganda

*disclaimer, I fully support LGBTQ folk and everything they strive for. Rockwell doesn't, probably

[vocal torrent]

because WE are bob

[open tendon]

[west dragon]

Bobs together, strong.

[vocal torrent]

Praise Bob

[velvet shadow]

Rockwell is in love with Nerva

[west dragon]

He did spend a lot of time making special soups for his bestie 🤔

[main smelt]

Ok I am hearing a lot of ships give me a list

[velvet shadow]

Meiana (Canon)
Rockwerva (Mega canon)
Heltoria (TAS canon)
Johnaia (Canon)
Santiuma (WAS canon but Fries scrapped it)

Yep, a Santiago-Uma love dynamic was written by Fries

[velvet shadow]

God I feel gross with these names

It's like bad deviantart fanfic

'Cept Rockwerva though

That's totally canon

[deep moat]

I'm assuming there's no release date on the show...

[main smelt]

Just that is 2023

[deep moat]

Typical Wildcard

[main smelt]

What about non canon ships?

[west dragon]

BoDo (Tek Shoulder Cannon)

[last pebble]

Helena bruh ?

I mean i wouldn't question but like that's such a random idea

[quiet shale]

I just saw the trailer

once it got to the point where all the dinos were gathered peacefully at a pond, I started crying because of the beauty

I am a huge dinosaur nerd

[fervent stag]

What did you think of any other part of the trailer?

[quiet shale]

when they were all flying the Pteranodons, they had the actual sounds from the game

the Rex roar was the same, the stego chase scene had the stego noises

I cannot wait for the series to be out

I still have tears

[fervent stag]

Any thoughts of the story-parts of the trailer?

[quiet shale]

well

it had all the characters from the explorer notes

same voice actors for them

and completely accurate to the game

I've been playing ARK for close to four years now

maybe less

[fervent stag]

Don't know what you mean by 'accurate to the game'

[quiet shale]

well, as you explore, you find the notes

[fervent stag]

No der

[quiet shale]

most people look over them

[fervent stag]

Yes, I know this

You mean accurate to the notes?

[quiet shale]

yeah

[fervent stag]

That's a phat 'no' right there.
The show is not at all accurate to the notes, and they've even made the show it's own canon.
Not saying it's bad, it looks good. But defiantly isn't 'accurate'

[vocal torrent]

It's more of an MCU version not the original

[quiet shale]

MCU?

[vocal torrent]

Movie version compared to the original comic

[fervent stag]

Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It's like the differences between the Marvel movies and comics

[quiet shale]

ah

[fervent stag]

Which is for the best, since some of the notes where........'questionable' for their lore.
90% of Rockwell's notes on The-Island where kind of pointless for actual lore.

[quiet shale]

yeah

I haven't played any of the story in a while

I've been playing on Fjorder

[fervent stag]

They added new cutscenes to the story-maps

[quiet shale]

I hatched a Deinonychus egg and a lady started saying all these facts about them

[fervent stag]

What?

[quiet shale]

idk, the volume was low

anywho

looking back to when I first started playing the game

[fervent stag]

Oooooh right, they added dossiers to the custom-ark creatures.

[quiet shale]

I went from running away from gigas and rexes

to taming a giga before a rex on Fjord

[vocal torrent]

I dunno, I like the fallen mentor in the notes

I wished the series fleshed it out more

[fervent stag]

I did not ask, Mazzy.

[vocal torrent]

Welcome to Discord, expect discourse

[quiet shale]

there are many things in this world that come without asking

[fervent stag]

There is a way to stop that, but I'm not sure if I'll do it yet.

[vocal torrent]

I mean a meteor will do tbh but I digress

[grizzled sand]

Still hoping they atleast go to the other maps eventually

Be kinda lame if it was just island forever

Make the confusing in game story make more sense while keeping the good parts of it

[scenic frost]

Merry Christmas my fellow bob enjoyers

[oak brook]

the reason I don't talk about the show much in here tbh

[rain pebble]

Understandable 😂

[oak brook]

happy to hear you're excited, your reaction is touching. hope you enjoy it! It is pretty accurate to the notes for the most part btw -- along with filling in gaps and backstories the notes don't cover and changes to be more appropriate to a different medium and pacing. don't let a few people in here take away your excitement or make you feel foolish

[velvet shadow]

Merry Bobmas

[vestal stream]

in all fairness i would imagine they want this to be as long running as possible just like the game has been so it would be pointless delving into the different maps in first few seasons

[fathom lotus]

Kinda hope this reaches out to alot of non ark players

Just because so many ark players are already sulking about it

[cloud dove]

Merry Bobmas 🎄

For sure. I don't usually get excited about trailers, but Bob showing up right away is literally everything I wanted

[daring epoch]

It was great

[fervent stag]

You know, I always questioned that saying.
I know a lot of people that've done bad things worthy of hell that didn't do it for good intentions.

When will Bobs workout routine be leaked

[oak brook]

• consume three scoops of pre by swallowing with no water
• follow up with further pre-workout but this time, Forbidden Pre: the ex's text messages
• do this for 20 minutes
• part 2 to be leaked at a future date

[tribal geyser]

There's the big barrier, you need to have been in a relationship to get an ex.

[fervent stag]

Is this Bob before he woke up on The-Island?

[agile mauve]

Yo the ark animated trailer dropped a couple days ago will we be getting any new animated skins?

[fervent stag]

I hope so

[pine trout]

You know its wildcards decision but I really hope that the don’t release this show on HBO Max because for all us Canada people we won’t be able to watch it here cause we don’t have access to HBO max, if they do so be it I will find a way to watch it, thats how much I want to watch this show

[feral lake]

Vpn

[pine trout]

I have tried that before but I’m not sure it works, or maybe I’m just not smart enough

[feral lake]

Should work. Most vpns have it in their advertisement

[pine trout]

I will have to try it if it comes to that then, thank you for the suggestion

[iron lagoon]

I Hope it’s on Netflix

[fluid spindle]

[fathom lotus]

That or amazon

[velvet temple]

Make sure you select a country that has the streaming service (for this best bet is usa) also free ones can be wonky sometimes

[molten quartz]

What can i watch it on?

[radiant rapids]

We don't know yet.

[low swallow]

I have a hunch it will be on HBO Max

(but thats just me speculating)

[ancient path]

im praying that i dont have to buy some obscure streaming service to watch this 😭

[languid anchor]

only on plutoTV 😎

please nobody take that seriously

[ancient path]

dammit, i only have jupitercable

[west cedar]

Bob is like me before going to a swimming pool

[pine trout]

Hopefully if its not HBO it will be something like apple Tv or amazon prime,

[pine trout]

What would you recommend?

[molten quartz]

It better be on amazon prime cuz thats the only thing I hv but i wont be upset if its on hbo max cuz i hear its the best streaming service and im happy other ppl could watch it 😭

[velvet temple]

idk, I dont need a vpn but im sure if you search up best vpn or cheapest vpn there will be an article with a top 10 list or something that you can look further into after that

[pine trout]

Thank you

[velvet temple]

even the more expensive ones are only a few dollars a month and have free trials so if its only for 1 show you can just free trial and then cancel if you binge the show in a week

[pine trout]

That is true but there is also the fact that they might release the episodes weekly instead all at once

[velvet temple]

I doubt it

but maybe

idk, but its not like it airing on traditional tv weekly and thats why they would spread them out

[pine trout]

I think I’m thinking about it too much because I do believe that there are platforms here that have HBO shows on them in Canada

[west cedar]

I hope Ark will make its own animated show website, so everyone can watch it on there. Only digital device needed

[pine trout]

I guess only Wildcard will know the answer for know

[west cedar]

[pine trout]

Hopefully they give us something in January so that we don’t have to wait to long

[fresh flame]

I mean, it could be on steam although that would be surprising

[pine trout]

I’m not familiar with steam do they have T.V shows on steam?

[uneven ravine]

They should make it on Crunchyroll or funimation

It looks anime enough
Or fuck it and put that shit on CABLE

[feral lake]

or just be simple and put it on netflix

[uneven ravine]

[pine trout]

I mean you’d think they would put it on a platform that everyone has access too

[feral lake]

Hopefully yea

Biggest platform = biggest coverage

[pine trout]

Exactly

If I had to guess I’d say Netflix (because it still the biggest platform for streaming shows) or Amazon prime, because a lot of countries have access to both those platforms

[west cedar]

How many calories per dodo?

And ur telling me I can get jacked over just reading messages for 20mins? Fark yes

[fresh flame]

I don't believe so, I was trolling lol

Just don’t get copyright claimed it’d that easy

[crystal flint]

ok I just noticed something
in the description for animated series's characters
Santiago is from the "24th" century
ok
so either I'm right about most of his memories in Genesis 2 being false
or there is going to be an inexcusable retcon and no Diana

I can tolerate changes, which as one of the most knowledgeable of the game's lore, I am of course displeased with.

but no Diana?

that is simply unacceptable

and without her, this is not a retelling, it is not a show about ARK Survival Evolved.

[pine trout]

Didn’t Diana not show up until Aberration?

And there is a second season so she could show up then

[crystal flint]

Yes, but why is there a Santiago listing, who also doesn’t who up until aberration

But the Santiago in the Soskin Saga is from the 22nd century

[velvet shadow]

Second Season looks like The Island, but in the past.

The only S2 teaser shows us a younger Nerva and Mei fighting.

..... on The Island.

:fancytroll:

[crystal flint]

Well that’s not right at all

[velvet shadow]

Nani

[crystal flint]

That statement is simply false

We have a still from the S2 and it has a nerva with slightly different design, that’s not grounds for anything like that

[velvet shadow]

Ackshyually

Look again

He has less grey hair

Mei has less wrinkles

His face is bleeding, she scarred him

[crystal flint]

Take a moment and listen to yourself.

[velvet shadow]

I know what it sounds like

But this is the same series where Helena overdoses on pills

And has a wife
Where Rockwell has no beard

Where Mei looks like she's in her 50s

[crystal flint]

Do you think that design changes that slight, that in reality could occure to a person in less then a year, not to mention the possibility that they are just extra details not in the designs we have Seen, are grounds for a claim of such monstrous proportions

[velvet shadow]

Unfortunately I believe it atm

That would explain why Mei is already badass in S1

She has her arc before S1

:husk:

Maybe, this is all speculation atm

[crystal flint]

If you’re going to complain that massive changes to the story will happen, at least do it for actually established changes

[velvet shadow]

Again, Helena meets older-Mei/Nerva
So they were most likely on The Island before her for awhile

And this may also explain younger Rockwell

[velvet shadow]

That's why I said, it's speculation atm
Should've clarified

Second Season "looks like" The Island, but in the past.

[crystal flint]

That’s the kind of speculation that makes people hate you

Which seems to be a problem you’re having at the moment

[velvet shadow]

Wha

Where did that come from

[crystal flint]

I don’t hate you

Speculating a negative aspect of something tends to make the perpetrator less likable, usually proportionate to how grounded the speculation is

Speculating a positive aspect makes the perpetrator seem less intelligent depending on how grounded the speculation is, but, those who tend to do it to a level at which I question their intelligence at I don’t believe would be able to understand this

Of course this isn’t relating to one’s physical ability, but just as they are in the present moment

Stubbornness and excitement are responsible for these situations, which are situational and do not apply to a person’s personality

[velvet shadow]

Am I unintelligent to describe TAS Helena as a powerful, likeable and relatable character :fancytroll:

[crystal flint]

well... judging by what we've seen so far

[velvet shadow]

Anyways, here's my theory.

Hate me for it if you must, BUT...

S2 will be on The Island, as teased
OR it was poor wording and the screenshot was justbfrom S1

Either way, we'll be seeing a younger Mei and Nerva. It's happening.

[crystal flint]

S1: Start of journey
S2: 2nd half of story, Island ending
S3: cancelled

[velvet shadow]

S4: Start of Journey (but everyone is played by Chris Pratt)

[velvet shadow]

Sin
Sin city isn't made~ for ya

[crystal flint]

just kidding, if they gave the Halo series another season after the first, then nothing will stop this show

unless it's on netflix

[velvet shadow]

Netflix yes

I don't think it's going to be bad persay

[crystal flint]

Netflix freaking executed the Resident evil series

Perhaps unappealing to the lore masters

But very few actually know the games lore

So it should reel in a ton of people

[steel widget]

don't remind me of that

[velvet shadow]

And with that comes the unfortune of yknow

The one little funny fact

Le diverge of story

But maybe it'll be good in its own way

[crystal flint]

yeah, that's something I'm afraid of, yet is inevitable

[velvet shadow]

The more I rewatch the trailer the more hype gets built up in my tiny beach bob brain

For certain stuff

[crystal flint]

I will have to shed my humble place among the people and go sit upon my throne on Olympus, where I will become the absolute authority of ARK lore and make videos explaining the differences

[velvet shadow]

Won't Neddy do that

[fleet lodge]

Will we be having some dubs for the series?

[frosty tulip]

most likely

how do you think giga bob is gonna die?

[fleet lodge]

He won't. He is the real moral main charcater

Based

[frosty tulip]

yes

i hope he dose not die

but he will die probably protecting Helena or something i would rather Helena die than him

[tawny prairie]

I wonder if it’ll seem like he died and then he later comes back

[frosty tulip]

respawned again

[tawny prairie]

Do we know if characters respawn in the lore or is that just gameplay?

[frosty tulip]

it is in the lore but the overseers added it after the events of the explore notes i think

so back then if you died you were dead

but now if you die you get respawned again

[fervent stag]

Canon

[fervent stag]

And that was Helena after she became a Homo-Deus that did that, not an Overseer

[frosty tulip]

ok

[frosty tulip]

Ark 2 respawning will just be game play not apart of the lore right

[fervent stag]

We don't know

[frosty tulip]

But how would they respawn because now there on a alien planet they can’t really be remade

[fervent stag]

The Eden-ring

Or the escape-pods

I'm gonna be honest, I 'hope' they'll make respawning not canon in ARK-2. Cause I always hated how they made it canon in ARK-1

[frosty tulip]

I can see the escape pods but the Eden ring considering it was crashed into the planet like ab was too earth would of lost power

[frosty tulip]

Same

Then Santiago can’t respawn again

[fervent stag]

We actually have no confirmation it did crash.
What we see at the end of the newer ARK-2 trailer could easily be part of the main ship, instead of the ring

[frosty tulip]

True

[fervent stag]

And what people assumed to be the ring in the first trailer, where just rock formations.

[frosty tulip]

But it was a ring but it could of been the Rockwell ring and that’s how shadow manes will be back

[fervent stag]

The ship/Rockwell's ring was heading towards the main-planet.
If you pay attention, we're more on a moon.

[frosty tulip]

Ok

👍

[wind belfry]

Didnt rockwells ring 💥

Also #ark-2

[frosty tulip]

What I thought but like most ships it would of still had a wreckage and considering this is a very large ship it would have a big wreckage

[fervent stag]

Yes, but it was also being powered by an artifical star.

[frosty tulip]

Yeah I stemmed from a conversation about the animated series

[frosty tulip]

So big explosion

So no wreckage most likely

[fervent stag]

Very, big explosion.

Oh no, there's 100% wreckage, it's tek. Tek is canonically stronger then any metal we have discovered.
But there's 100% no survivors.
