I thought the narrative was pretty coherent as far as weird internet shit goes.

    I only watched like 7 episodes, but it doesn't vibe like those oldschool Newgrounds animations at all. Narrative wise, I think it's post 00s because there's a clear narrative when viewed chronologically. It's only lol random if you watch the first three episodes, but it obviously builds upon them and tries to craft some skibidi toilet cinematic universe. It's also a lot more dystopian than what was around in the 00s.

    The article is playing up its novelty to say it's done by Gen Alpha while people here are saying it's the same as some animation from Albino Blacksheep. To me, it's just more zoomer shit.

      There was stuff back then that built up a narrative. Things like Final Fighting Fantasy or the Shock stick fight series.

        I think it's more about how the series narrative gets constructed. I just see the influence of the MCU when I see these new videos. It's like how you can tell Filthy Frank was a series made in the 10s and not the (late) 00s like AVGN. Sure, AVGN had characters, but there wasn't a conscious effort to create an AVGN universe while Filthy Frank had 30+ realms where a bunch of those characters came from in some Filthy Frank cinematic universe.
