Lbat1901's News

Posted by Lbat1901 - September 17th, 2022


Greetings, fellow Eddheads! I hope you're having a nice summer even though it's not really summer anymore. 


We got a new episode which was supposed to be released in late August 2022 till it got delayed to September due to the episode taking a very longtime to complete. 


Despite all of this, we finally got the episode and it's beach themed. Surf & Turf Wars is the name and it will be a two parter. The last time we had an episode that was spilt into two parts was The End and that was all the way back in 2016. 


Grab your beach gear and get your cold drinks ready because we're about to surf into this brand new episode.


I'm Lbat1901 and I'll be your host on this tropical island night. Let's-a go! 


The Plot


We start off the episode with a very keyboard sounding opening logo. How classy. 


After that we get a opening shot of an apartment complex which Edd, Tom, and Matt live in. Remember, the house got blown up by Tord and his giant robot. Anyway, we then get a shot of of the boys before they melt. 


Oh? What's this? It was a picture? 


We see Ringo chilling by a fan. A cat gotta stay cool during a hot summer day.


We then see the boys sitting on the couch, sweating like crazy. Tom and Edd talk for a bit about Tom being, well, hot.


Matt gets up and opens a window only for the heatwaves to set his hair on fire. 


We get a weather forecast on tv showing that the UK including Ireland have been in temperatures so hot that there are literally fireballs on the map. Quick fact: In the real world, the UK and pretty much all of Europe have suffering through records of high temperatures going over 90 degrees. Some reaching over 100 degrees. 


Going back to the episode, we get a commercial advertising cola. Cold Cola I should say. This was the same commercial that we've seen in the update video regarding what's been going on behind the scenes with Surf & Turf Wars. 


Edd gets an idea. Tom on the other hand was thinking about other things. But, he was actually thinking about the same thing as Edd. The boys are going on a beach trip.... right after Matt stops playing with his tits. Yeah, but whatever. It's beach time! 


Oh, before we head to the beach with boys. Did anyone notice the picture above the couch that had Edd, Matt, and Tom as teens? I did. I also see Tord although his face has been ripped off. Hmm... interesting. 


Moving on, we get the opening credits which I have to admit, looks amazing and it was a nice transition to the beach scene by having Edd slam on the breaks causing everything to go flying including Edd and Tom and landing safely. 


Wow, didn't know that Edd was so talented at the setting things up. He gets a perfect 10. Yaaaayy. 


Anyway, Edd and Tom start relaxing as Edd asks Matt on how he's holding up. Matt says that the sun and him have been old enemies. Cue a shot where the sun flips off Matt along with burning off his protection against the sun causing him to hiss. 


Ah yes, a Matt Sucks reference and that Matt is still a vampire. Neat. 


Matt grabs a large jar of sunscreen and proceeds to drip a lot of it on him which weirds out both Edd and Tom. But hey, at least Matt is protected by the sun for real this time and proceeds to knock over several people with his umbrella hat. 


We then cut to a cargo ship containing barrels. A crew member asks the captain of the ship what the barrels contain. The captain replies by saying that he doesn't ask questions. Two more members ask more questions until a third member asks where are they taking the barrels. The captain says that he doesn't know. 


Huh, well that doesn't sound cryptic at all. 


Anyway, the captain picks up a phone and talk to whoever he's calling about the ship's cargo as his crew pretty much scolds at him. Suddenly the ship hits something and the captain questions it which makes one of the crew members send the captain to the brig for asking a question. 


As the captain gets taken, we see a barrel fall overboard and lands into the ocean as it slowly makes it way to the beach where Edd, Tom, and Matt are it. What's going to happen when the barrel washes up shore? My curiosity levels are very high. 


Back on dry land, Matt enjoys his time at the beach even to go as far to use a flamethrower to burn people to a crisp. Oh, wait. He was playing a video game. I actually want to play that video game. 


Matt puts a banana into a blender before throwing a banana peel behind which causes a person to slip and fall head first into the sand. 


Comedy gold. 


Edd scolds Matt for littering and Matt simply states "not a care for in the world" as he holds a cup of banana smoothie. A straw drops down into Matt's smoothie and turns out to be Tom who just wanted a taste of that smoothie. Matt doesn't mind it. Sharing is caring. 


Matt gets roasted by Edd when he tells that he's simple thing after Matt was enjoying himself. Edd and Tom both agreed that was a great roast as Matt looks at them clearly unamused. 


The three boys then watch a movie of a guy punching a shark and we get a scene of a very long power strip that goes a long way back to the apartment and there's a lot going on for one single outlet. I can see an electric fire happening. 


Don't plug a lot of things into one outlet guys. 


Moving on we see a scientist who has made the cure for all diseases running to tell the world about it. Along the way, he stops himself from dropping it while avoiding a hole, the cord to the power strip from earlier, and a running wood chipper that gets crushed by a piano. Unfortunately, he couldn't avoid a tiger that came out of nowhere and ends up eating him alive. 


Okay, I was planning on saving this for the closing part of my review, but I don't think I could. So, I'll say this now. I didn't like this part especially during my first viewing of the episode. It felt like dragged on way too long. If I were apart of the production crew, I would've cut down this part. I would have the scientist avoid the cord to the power strip and stopping himself from getting close the wood chipper and the fallen piano. I would definitely cut the down the part where the scientist gets attacked by the tiger. I would also keep the parts where the scientist is surprised by the tiger and is surprised that the tiger is eating his lower part. I would end it with the scientist stating that being eaten alive is the most painful thing that he has ever experienced in his whole life shortly before the tiger finishes eating him. 


I'm not saying that this scene in particular is bad. It could've been shorter. Just a small nitpick that I have. Nothing too major.


Anyway, as the scientist gets eaten by the tiger, two men watch the whole scene. As soon as the scientist is dead, one of the men spot the cure that the scientist dropped and tries to make a run for it, but he accidentally trips over the cord to the power strip causing it unplug. 


Back at the beach, the movie with the guy punching sharks looks like its picking up as a mutant shark appears... only for the tv to shut off which disappoints Matt. Edd tells him that there are other things to do the beach and Tom agrees and mentions the sea breeze shortly before butler (who I am going to call Sebastian) hands Tom a large drink known as "the Sea Breeze". 


As Tom enjoys his drink, Edd takes out a can of cola and begins pouring all of it into his mouth that has opened wide before shallowing it and letting out loud burp. Matt who is still mad, gets up and walks away barefoot only to be greeted by hot sand each time he takes a single step. 


As soon as Matt leaves Edd and Tom are approached by a man with glasses who turns out to be apart of the fun-petition that's happening at the beach. I like this guy, I'm calling him Mason. He looks like a Mason to me. 


Tom stated that fun-petition isn't a word and says that Mason sucks and Edd pulls up a dictionary and agrees with Tom. 


Mason who was sad didn't get a chance to correct Tom only to get knocked to the ground by some jock looking fellow. Edd who saw this decides to stand up for Mason and tells the jock off. The jock (who I'm going to call Josh) scoffs at Edd as his buddies come along. Josh asks a Edd what's he going to do and Edd challenges Josh and his lackeys in the fun-petition which Josh accepts. 


Josh states that the loser leaves the beach forever which Edd says that he knows and that sign says. Josh then says that he and his lackeys get Edd's girl which turns out to be Tom. 


Meanwhile with Matt, he was seen still walking through the hot sand till he spot a water hole before immediately going over to it just to put his feet in. As Matt's feet cool off, he hears something that's inside a bucket. Out of curiosity, he goes over the bucket and picks it up only to find a small fish swimming inside. 


Matt then looks around the area and states that it's nice. He then says that he should it inside his head only to realize that being inside his head wasn't the best idea due to people hearing him. 


Back with Edd and Tom, the fun-petition starts as a guy wearing sunglasses announcing all the contests. He looks like a Roman. I'm calling him Roman until I get corrected by the members of the production crew. 


Anyway, the first contest is the sand eating contest and Tom sprints into action and begins eating the sand. Unfortunately, it wasn't called the sand eating contest. Roman claims that paper was stuck together and that the actual contest was the watermelon eating contest which leaves Tom in utter shock and confusion. 


Edd decides to participate in the watermelon eating contest and bites down on a watermelon only for it to pop. It turns out that the watermelon was a ballon that had air pumped into by Josh and his lackeys which Edd knew and states angrily that there's going to be war.


Meanwhile, Matt is seen picking up a star fish and other aquatic life. What he doesn't know is that barrel that was on the cargo ship has made it to dry land. Unfortunately, it doesn't land on a sharp pointed rock formation. Instead, it lands between two sharp rock formations. 


Matt who was unaware of the barrel, continues to collect more aquatic life before stumbling upon a lobster. He picks up the lobster and falls in love with it as the two stare at each other. However, this doesn't last long as the lobster uses to claw to snap Matt's nose only to realize that he doesn't have a nose. So the lobster goes his eye causing Matt to freak out in pain. He ends up tripping over his bucket and ends up slamming against the barrel. 


Matt manages to free himself and states that he's okay only to go through a slow and yet painful transformation into....


.... The Incredible MattLobster!!! 


Duh duh duhhhhh 


The Verdict


Sooooo, what did I think about the episode? Is it better than the previous full length episode, Beaster Bunny? Does it make for a family fun summer get together? 


Well, the answer would be yes. Surf & Turf Wars Pt. 1 was a massive improvement in terms of quality compared to Beaster Bunny and it looked visually impressive. The voice acting has also improved. 


I really liked that abstract background where Matt was holding the lobster. It looked stunningly beautiful. 


The humor was more of a coin toss. It was either a hit or a miss. Some scenes dragged on for way too long such as the scene of the scientist. Overall, those small issues didn't flat out ruin my experience with the episode.


Plus, there were a lot of background characters and I already gave them names. 


My biggest gripes had the burping jokes. I wasn't much a fan of them. It also didn't help that they were loud in my headphones. Also, the scene with Tom eating sand felt kinda underwhelming but I thought the correction on what the first contest is was amusing at best. 


My other gripe had to be the whole Josh and lackeys being the Eduardo and the neighbors replacement. I don't hate Josh nor his lackeys. I thought that Surf & Turf Wars was going to have Edd, Tom, and Matt go up against Eduardo and Mark in a surfing competition. 


Speaking of Matt, he didn't get to join Edd and Tom for the fun-petition. Eh... I wouldn't call it an issue really. At least, he had time for himself and some screen time alone. 


Also, my other problem was the pacing. My problem for Beaster Bunny was that pacing felt slow. Surf & Turf Wars fixes this problem by being fast. A little too fast especially on the first viewing. Some people said that the pacing was fine and some people said that pacing was too fast. I would admit that the pacing was a bit fast during the first viewing but how I do these reviews, I tend to watch the episode about four times just I won't miss anything. On the second viewing, the pacing wasn't too bad. It was still a bit fast but nothing too terrible that would ruin the quality. 


So, what is my final rating? For episodes that are spilt in either two parts of three parts, I would score it in under one single grade. But I'm willing to give you a score. 


My final score for Surf & Turf Wars Pt. 1 is a lobster out of 10. 

To be a bit more specific, I'm giving this episode a 7/10 giving it a B- grade. 


So, those are pretty much my thoughts on the episode? What did you think of Surf & Turf War Pt. 1? Did you love it or did you hate it? I'm curious to hear what you think. Remember to be nice to each other in the comments and keep conversations civil. 


This has been Lbat1901 and I'll catch you in the next episode. Bye.

"Money can drive some people out of their mind" - The O'Jays


The Eddsworld discord sever is dead as of July 29th 2022.


I know you guys were probably expecting to see me tear apart TBATF ch 8 and yeah, I'd rather be doing that instead; however, this is important. 


The EW crew, mostly Bing and Matt, have turned the once public open Eddsworld server into a patreon server. There are a large majority of people that didn't know that there was an official server for the fandom and I don't blame you. Bing and Matt never posted a permanent link to it, but luckily for you, I've found it.


But.... why should I even bother to share it? It's completely pointless considering the fact that the only way for you to talk to other people is to be a patron just so you can gain access to the entire server. 


Like I said before in my initial thoughts about the server being patreon only, Bing and Matt had made a grave mistake and thanks to them having an idea like this the backlash was deserving. 


During my time as a patron, I didn't like the idea and it made me feel awful that non-patrons were left in the dust due to Matt's lust for money. It should be worth noting that I never really felt welcomed in the server and after being a patron, I still didn't felt welcomed. Plus I didn't like the other patrons. Well, I didn't like every single one of them. Some of them were okay. I honestly miss the early days of the server. It wasn't chaotic and it was actually calm, but sadly those days are long gone. Nothing good ever lasts for long. 


So, how did I became an ex-patron? Well, you would think that I would cancel my pledge and you would be correct; however, that's not the case. In reality, I got banned from the server and how? 


...I will let you on a little secret. I accidentally leaked a clip to an upcoming episode right after the server switched to patreon only. Remember when I said that I didn't like some of the patrons? Well, they got a little pissy when I leaked the clip and it wasn't even more than two hours. 


Before the ew patrons twist the narrative and try to slander me, I would like to defend my case as the Lbat Attorney and yes, it's a parody of Ace Attorney. 


I would to makes something clear before the ew patrons make false allegations by saying that don't have any remorse for leaking the clip and that I may be a sociopath, I do have remorse for what I did and it was a mistake on my part. I could've waited for a couple of days to leak the clip and I apologize for letting the spread of the clip get out of hand. But in reality, I had no control on the clip spreading like wildfire and yes, I could've put something in the caption to not to spread the clip around. Welp, it's in the human nature to make mistakes. 


In all honesty, I am at fault and I did deserve to be banned but at the same time, I kinda wanted to have a revenge moment just to get back at Bing and Matt for making the decision to turn the official server into a patreon server. So, I gave the non-patrons some justice and it was all worth the hassle. Bing and Matt did not think things through. Not at all. 


I am perfectly aware that leakers are often frowned upon, but not all leakers are bad. They usually share interesting information regarding popular media and it makes the fans discuss many possibilities and outcomes along with coming up with theories. They are respected in each of their respective community. 


But for Eddsworld, nah. Leakers deserve to receive misfortune according to the ew patrons and yet, they say that the non-patrons are toxic while they themselves wanted to bring death to a leaker. Hmm... seems legit. 


So, in a span of nearly three days, I got kicked out of the server. Well, I was going to leave the server a longtime ago, but the ew crew did the job for me. How lovely. It's official, I have bad blood with the ew patron server, the production team, and Bing and Matt who all hate me and refuse let me have a word in to try to make things a little civilized. 


I eventually got a message on patreon where the ew crew wanted me to apologize for leaking the clip which I did and I was waiting for a response to fully admit my wrongdoings. Unfortunately, Matt wasn't having any of that and proceeded to slam the door on my face and block me from the Eddsworld patreon page. 


Oh Matt, do you know that slamming a door on someone hurts their feelings especially when they wanted to apologize to you? I suppose not. Apparently Matt's greed and ego was a bit too strong that day and he forgot to take his vitamins. PeePaw Hargreaves needs a long nap. 


Nappa: Lbat, what does the scouter say about Matt's greed and ego power level? 


It's over 9000!!! 


Nappa: What!? 9000!? There's no way that can be right! 


To be honest, it was a shocker to see that I was blocked from the patreon page, but then I look at the words: "Eddsworld has blocked you" and I proceeded to laugh my head off for about 10 minutes straight. The words "Eddsworld" and "block" don't fit each other all that well. Also, it doesn't help that Eddsworld as a web series doesn't take itself seriously in terms of its lore.


But... But Eddsworld, you can't block me and try to file for a divorce. You literally signed a contact to be one of my hyperfixations until the sun explodes. You help me fight off my depression. You can't leave me. You can't. 


Anywho, that's all I had to say. I really wanted to, well, vent this out because the last couple of day weren't all that great. But after sharing what happened, I feel much better. 


So kids, what did we learn today? If you ever plan on making something and end with a large dedicated fanbase, don't be a Matt. Instead be like Tomska. Tomska is very supportive towards his fans and loves them all.


And with that, this has been Lbat1901 also known as Lbat Attorney and I'm signing out. 

Remember to be nice to each other and take care yourselves. I will be working hard on my review of TBATF ch 8. 


Goodbye for now

Hello there, fellow Eddheads!


I'm Lbat1901 and I'm your host on all Eddsworld related discussions both good and bad.


It hasn't been more than a week since I've posted my thoughts after the whole drama surrounding the ew crew died down.


I thought things couldn't get any worse for the crew, but something unexpected happened.


On July 12th, Bing announced that the official Eddsworld discord server will become a Patreon only server. Yes, you heard that right. A Patreon only server.


Everyone who saw the news completely reacted negatively to it. It was so bad that a 6 hour cooldown was enforced onto the main chat channels mostly the general-chat. It was very unpleasant to watch.


Listen, I have nothing against Patreon only servers, but turning a server that was public for everyone to begin with into a pay to chat with other people is a scummy move especially when it's a official Eddsworld server.


It would've made so much sense to make a separate server for the people that support the Patreon but no, Bing and Matt clearly didn't think long and hard about it before making a final decision.


Also, it should be worth noting that there are mods, mostly two very active ones, that work extra hard to moderate the server meaning that they get stressed out easily.


Bing, Matt, if your current mods are having trouble running things smoothly than why didn't you bother to get more mods. The more mods the better.


Did Bing and Matt seriously forget that the fanbase mostly consists of minors, mostly teenagers that don't have an allowance or a job meaning that they can't become a patron.


"But the cheapest tier is only £5"


Well yeah, it is, but there's an issue. There are literally people out there that can't afford £5 and there is no way that a minor's parent is going to agree and let their child be a patron


TL;DR: This whole turning the Eddsworld discord server into a Patreon only server is honestly a really bad move. That's just my opinion.


What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments. Remember to be civil and be nice to each other.


This has been Lbat1901 and I'll see you next to time when I talk about TBATF Chapter 8

It's been a full year since I've made my thoughts on the whole drama situation surrounding the ew team public. There was a lot and I mean a lot that happened during the summer of 2021. Despite that were serious allegations of Jamie Spicer Lewis being called out for grooming a minor, Bing calling TomTord shippers terrorists and having sexual allegations made against him, and Matt being called out for being ableist towards DID systems, the drama got quickly swept under the rug. 


Yes, really. Even though the drama died off, we shouldn't forget what happened in terms of the internet. Once you post something online and eventually delete it, it doesn't go away. 


So, what does this have to do with my thoughts on the whole drama? Well, it should be worth noting that I was very neutral when I was talking about what happened between April to May 2021. All I basically wanted out of Bing and Matt, mostly Bing, was to make some sort of apology and they kinda did. Although Bing didn't really talk about allegations made against him but he apologized for the whole calling TomTord being terrorists thing. 


I've did brought up some of my issues with Beaster Bunny. However after many, many months of having my ventish thoughts on the ew crew drama on full display, there quite a few people who thought that I hated Beaster Bunny all because that there a pedo joke and a special needs joke in it that I didn't really like. 


I'm not gonna reveal any names for the sake of privacy. So, I'll be referring to only of them as seahorse. 


Seahorse did agree that the pacing for Beaster Bunny wasn't good, but they thought I said that one small joke made towards pedos and those special needs ruined the episode for me. Uh seahorse, where did I say that those jokes ruined the entire episode for me? Where did I say that? All I said was that the jokes were just uncalled for and were downright offensive. I didn't say that jokes made the episode bad. 


It's alright that you disagree with me, but saying that I dislike something doesn't mean that I hate the product even though there were some things that I've enjoyed while watching Beaster Bunny. 


Oh and uh, I am perfectly aware that Eddsworld always had dark humor especially during its early days, but you can't make dark jokes about pedophila. Pedophila is a serious topic. Edd may had made dark jokes, but he knew when not to cross the line and he knew that there were certain things that he couldn't joke about and one of them was pedophila. Also, I would like to bring up that fact that Edd was a teenager when he made Eddsworld and teenagers are bound to make dark jokes, but overtime they learn and they grow, so it's excusable. Matt on the otherhand is in his 30s making him a full grown adult and should know better. 


Look, I'm calling Matt a pedo, he should've read the script to Beaster Bunny more than maybe three times with someone so that said person could point out faults in the script. I heard that there were some complications in terms of production for Beaster Bunny and that they wanted it to be released in time for Easter so they pretty rushed it. Personally, I don't blame them for wanting to release Beaster Bunny on a certain day, but sadly, you don't always get what you want. Maybe if Beaster Bunny were to be released in late April 2021 or maybe somewhere in either July or August 2021, it would've turned out better than what we got. 


There is a motto and it goes like this: "A rushed product is always doomed to be forever bad rather than a product that took a longtime to be released" 


Again, I don't hate Beaster Bunny, it just could've been a lot better in my opinion. Hopefully, the next full length episode would be an improvement, but only time will tell. 


Oh and uh, before I forget, seahorse brought up faults on what I thought about the whole Vivziepop cameo in Beaster Bunny even though it wasn't an argument. Yeah, I could've worded it a lot better but during that time, she had a lot controversy surrounding her which I didn't feel like going over and that I found her cameo unnecessary. Also, most people don't even like Vivziepop nor her creations such as Haxbin Hotel or Helluva Boss due to, well, not being interested in them. Yeah, I just wanted to point that out real quick. 


Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. If you have any thoughts on the whole ew drama that happened in 2021, go ahead and put them down in the comments. Remember to be civil and be nice to each other. 


This has been Lbat1901 and I'll see you next time. Bye.

Now, where did I put Tomee Bear? Oh hey, there fellow Eddheads. I didn't see you there. My bad. 


Do you know what today is? No? Well, today is the day when Legacy was first released exactly 10 years ago. I know right? It's crazy. It felt like only yesterday when Legacy was a thing. 


Man, where has time gone? 


Anyway, I had plans on making a retrospect, documentary(ish) type look on Legacy as a whole for quite some time. What better way to do it is talk about on its anniversary day. 


So, come with me to the unofficial Eddsworld vault. Careful where you stepped because contains a lot of Eddsworld inside it. 


Now, where is that memory lane? Oh, here it is. We're at the starting part of it. 


Now, we can go back and reflect on Legacy along with me expressing my thoughts on it to the best of my ability.


Let's start, at where it all began.


Chapter One: In The Beginning There Was Light and Darkness


It was the early 2010s, most specifically 2011. Eddsworld was up in its peak of popularity on both YouTube and Newgrounds combined. Around this time WTFuture, Hammer & Fail, Zanta Claws 3, and Fan Service were the most viewed episodes and were were loved by many. Everyone was eager and excited to see what was in store for the future. What crazy shenanigans that the three main characters, Edd, Tom, and Matt would get into next? The possibilities were endless. The future was looking bright and I mean sun blindingly bright. 


Ok, maybe not that bright, but you get the point. 


But that's when the Fire Nation- I mean, tragedy struck. On March 25th 2012, Edd Gould sadly passes away due to six year battle with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. A few days later, Tomska and Matt uploaded a video about Edd's passing on YouTube. The fans were shocked and devastated by the news as many wondered if this was the end of Eddsworld and what will happen in the future. 


That's when the unexpected happened. Eddsworld was continuing with Tomska taking the role of director, producer, and lead writer. Knowing that he and Matt can't make new episodes by themselves, they had to expand the team with Paul ter Voorde being the lead animator and had to find a voice actor for Edd's character which was given to Tim Hautekiet. Eddie Bowley, who works with Tomska on ASDFmovie and makes appearances on the Tomska And Friends YouTube channel, became a producer and helped write Fun Dead. 


Thanks to having a team of 17 people and having 13 talented animators along with raising $83,211 during a charity event, Eddworld was back in full force with the release of Space Face Part 1 on June 2nd 2012 which gave birth to a new era of Eddsworld. That new era being Eddsworld Legacy.


Legacy was highly successful to the point where it lasted from 2012 to 2016 as The End Part was the last episode to be released. 


Legacy's Reception 


So, what did the fandom think of Legacy as a whole? Well for me, it was a good continuation during both it's run and by retrospect. Tomska and everyone else really gave it their all while knowing that it was different from how Edd worked on the series. 


So, what was the fandom's feeling towards Legacy? Well, a majority liked it a lot and then there's the people absolutely hated this era. Those people that I like to refer to as the og fans of Eddsworld who were there since 2004 also known as the Elderheads. Oh yes, these old die hard veterans. They aren't something that you should mess around with and I am here to tell you why they disliked Legacy by giving you three different reasons... which I've gathered. So, yeah let's just get into them.


1) The Art Style 


Yeah, we're starting with this one because it's usually the first thing that brought up whenever Legacy gets talked about as a whole.


Many people praised the art style, myself included. At the time, it was fresh, it washes, and it made Legacy stand on its own feet. Now, there's people that absolutely disliked Legacy's art style because it was nothing like Edd's original style. As I stated before there were 13 animators with Paul ter Voorde being one of them. Space Face Part 1 was the last eddisode to be animated by Edd before his passing. Paul was tasked to finish animating the episode which was the birth of Legacy's art style which was dubbed as the Paul ter Voorde style by the fandom of course.


Paul's way of drawing and animating was smooth and clean and it was really impressive. After Space Face Part 1 and 2, Paul's style was used throughout Legacy's run minus a few episodes such as Mirror Mirror and Saloonatics had special guest animators who had their own unique styles. 


Thanks to this, Legacy had its own identity which made it stand out compared to the Classicera of Eddsworld and Eddsworld Beyond. Plus, it made Eddsworld look like an actual cartoon if it were to air on either Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon and had a higher production budget. 


2) Characters Personailty changes 


If the art style of Legacy wasn't enough to turn away the Elderheads, it would be how Legacy gave Edd, Matt, and Tom whole new personalities on top of their already established personalities. Looking back at it, it sure did gave these characters more depth in how they might react to certain things in terms of writing. Edd experimented on this during the late 2000s and the early 2010s when Eddsworld was coming out of its edgy teenage phase and was starting to become suitable for all ages. Not everything was completely family friendly though. There were still some dark humor sprinkled here and there along with the usage of "damn" and "hell" but not as much as there used to be. 


I sure wonder what the Elderheads thought about the characters getting more in depth personalities. 


(Editor: It would seem that some undiscovered footage has been found. Don't worry, I have made it audible for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy :D


*on a top secret island far away that has a castle on it dubbed as the Elderhead Castle, circa 2014*


Elderhead: What's this? Edd being portrayed as kind and caring? What is this nonsense!? This isn't Edd. He's supposed to be an uncaring jerk. No, everyone's supposed to be an uncaring jerk. These aren't even the same characters. These are imposters and they're all sus. Curse you Legacy! Curse you! 


(Editor: My, what a strange guy. Anyway, moving on


3) Eddsworld? More like "Tomsworld"


We're at the third and very, yet controversial last reason. During and after Legacy's run many Elderheads believed that Tomska ruined Eddsworld in its entirety which has been proven to be not true. 


Hell, even Tomska himself said that him being showrunner didn't ruin Eddsworld. 


Sure, his writing and decisions were nothing compared to Edd's, but he tried his best. He put his heart into it. Of course there were some stinkers here and there, but overall he gave us, the fans, a continuation of a beloved web series and kept Edd's world spinning for awhile before Beyond came along. 


Another thing that Elderheads like to do is blame Tomska and how he wrote The End Part 1 and Part 2, but that's a story for another day. Oh, I'll get to you someday The End. I'm just letting you off the hook for now, but watch your back. 


Closing Thoughts 


Love it or hate it, Legacy will go down in both Eddsworld and internet history as the biggest yet memorable thing that has ever happened in the past decade. There were many high and lows,but it only made Eddsworld bigger with new fans joining in everyday. 


I would like to end this off with a huge thank you to Tomska because this man has been through a lot. There were times where he wanted to end Legacy but he managed to make it live longer. Tomska had suffered through a lot of grief. He, Matt, and Edd were very close friends and when Edd died, he didn't know what to do. There was a point in time where he asked Edd what would happen if he were to die. Edd simply told Tomska that he wanted Eddsworld to continue which Tomska ended up doing as Edd's final request.


As I stated before, Tomska had suffered through a lot of grief. It also didn't help that he had despression on top of being an alcoholic. Yeah, alcohol and a bad mental state don't mix that well. In the end, Tomska decided to move on from Eddsworld after The End Part 2 was released just to focus on another way to remember Edd in the most healthy way as possible without destroying his mental health.


It wasn't all doom and gloom though. Tomska went back to focus on his two YouTube channels and say, he's doing quite alright and is still going strong to this very day. Meanwhile Matt was given the role of showrunner and is in charge of the production of Beyond. 


And that should do it. I would like to thank you for making it this far. This took a very longtime to make and actually put out. 


Eddsworld will always have a special place in my heart and without it, I wouldn't be here talking about it.


This has been Lbat1901 and remember: stay indubitably and drink cola. ...Erm... maybe not that last part. Uh... yeah. ....Keep Edd's world spinning. That's all I have. 


See you in another eddisode review. Bye.

Hm, it's been awhile since I've looked through the Eddsworld tag on Tumblr


Oh wow, look at all of this amazing art. Take my reblog.


Ooh, headcanons. Nice. I like it a lot. Well done, op. Well done.


Oh? What's this? A new artist that has a great artstyle? I must check them out.


Huh, a latest art post. This looks great. ...What the? "Agegap ship?"


Oh no....


______________________


Over many years of being in the Eddsworld fandom, I've seen a lot of amazing content along with some... questionable things.


Like with most fandoms, Eddsworld is no stranger to proshippers.


I've seen many fanfics where it's mostly Tom and Tord be shipped. Sometimes the ships are child Tom x adult Tord or Child Tord x adult.


Sounds messed up right? Oh, believe me I see stuff like this while exploring the deepest parts of fanfic sites such as Wattpad and ao3.


Ugh, ao3 is where I find stuff like this the most.


If you don't know what a proshipper is, it's basically someone who ships a adult with a minor. It also can sibling x sibling (also known as incest). Yeah.... it's disturbing.


Full grown adults do this type of stuff, but when a minor does things like this, it's even worse.


Recently there has been one person in particular that has been doing this. They go by Mankistudios/Appleotakuton on Tumblr.


I'm just going to say this right now that this person is a minor. 15 in fact.


I'm not going to have this be an open invitation to bash them harshly. Like, they already have been receiving a lot of negative anon asks on Tumblr going as far to call them a pedophile.


With that being said, do not go out of your way to harass them or send them death threats. Heck, don't even interact with them.


I just want to spread awareness on what they're doing is wrong.


Anyway, speaking of them getting negative asks, they respond to them saying that what they ship is fictional.


Manki, I get that shipping problematic is some sort of comfort to you, but saying that it's fictional doesn't help your case when your dealing with people that find these types of ships disturbing.


Then there's the whole Eddsworld characters being based on their real life counterparts arguement. Same answer: it's still f**ked up no matter how much you try to sweeten it up.


Also, according to them, lthey left the official EW server after mentioning adult Tord x child to a chat which I mind you that everyone can see as clear as day. Well, what did you expect was going happen? Of course people are going to question a ship like that.


Nobody and I mean nobody wants to see this kind of stuff even if it's sfw. Heck, even I don't. The same goes for the people who had to go through the pain of being in a relationship with an adult who got a little, you know, creepy towards them.


Manki, if you somehow managed to stumble upon this and have made it this far without closing put of the tab out of anger, i just want to let you know that I didn't make this out of my way to send an angry mob to give you hate.


I made this as a way to tell you that what you're doing is very wrong and messed up. I hope that you can change and find other things that aren't problematic.


I'm not forcing you, i'm just giving you a suggestion. At the end of day, it's mostly up to you, but be warned that there might be a huge callout post which would likely result to your name being thrown into the mud.


And with that, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. This has been Lbat1901 and I do commentary and reviews on Eddsworkd so you won't have to do


I'll see you on the flip side. Bye bye.

Hey there, fellow Eddheads and happy holidays! 


Welcome to another Eddsworld episode review. We got a new Eddsworld short as a Christmas gift. How exciting. 


This short is all about the Ellsworld girls out of popular demand. I was going to release this review during the weekend but couldn't since I was out of town to visit family. 


I also had to leave early on Christmas Eve and I didn't get the notifications till like late at night on the same day. 


Better late than never. 


Like, I said Slippery Slope focuses on Ell, Tamara, and Matilda and just like RANDUMB, its very short. 


Anyway, the plot is very straightforward. The Ellsworld girls are up skiing in the mountains and they do a challenge just to see who's going to pay rent. 


Not a bad plot. It was a nice little homage to the older episodes where there's friendly jabs and rivalries, along with cynical humor. 


It also marks the first appearance of Mirror Ringo who goes by the name Tequila (yes, as confirmed by the EW crew). 


Also, Matilda was best girl and the scene with Tamara and Ell skiing down the mountain was well done. 


Oh and uh, I liked the part where Matilda was helping some guy go down a mountain. It made me chuckle. 


The only thing that I didn't like was the overuse of facial expressions and the voice acting which was a bit off. But hey, I can't blame since we're still in a pandemic. 


Now, that begs the question: Is Slippery Slope better than RANDUMB? Why yes, yes it is. 


I mean at least Slippery Slope didn't try hard to be something that it wasn't.


*cough* ASDFMOVIE *cough* 


Slippery Slope isn't the best episode to come from Beyond nor that it's the worse. It's pretty decent. 


If I were to place make a list of the best and worst episodes in the Beyond lineup, it would go like this: 


1. Casting Call

2. Fan Service 2 

3. Slippery Slope 

4. Beaster Bunny

5. The Birds and The Bees

6. RANDUMB 


I just want to point out that this list is mostly my opinion. You don't have to agree to this. In fact, I encourage you to share your own list. 


Anywho, that's all I got. Thanks for coming to my review. 


This has been Lbat1901 and I'll see you in the next episode review. 


Bye

So Eddsworld released a brand new short and it sure was something.


Hello and welcome everyone to another Eddsworld episode review. I'm Lbat1901 and I will be you host. So, let's get into it.


I'll be honest here, I was debating if I should make a review on this or not, but in the end, I decided to go for it. 


This may be a bit shorter than my The Birds And The Bees review since well, this new short doesn't really have anything for me to comment on. 


Anyway, what is RANDUMB all about exactly? Well, it's a series of short animated segments that make up the duration of roughly four minutes of video time. 


Basically, the EW crew got together one day and started throwing ideas at a whiteboard. They were basically all like: "Hey, what if we created animated segments just like ASDFmovie but make it Eddsworld?" 


And that's how we got RANDUMB. They took both ASDFmovie and Eddsworld, placed them into a blender and mixed them together along with sprinkling a hint of Tord's Adventure, Tom's Tales Of Awesome, Edd's Tales Of Boredom, and pretty much every short that was released before Beyond and Legacy.


Despite having some strong positives on what it's origins are, the short was.... ehhhh....not very good. The animation was solid and the parts that I liked were the Matt making toast but get middle fingered at, Tom dancing, and the turnip overlord. Oh and uh, long hair Mark was a surprise, but anything else felt rather dull and boring. 


The humor wasn't there at all. It felt like it was trying way too hard to be funny and did RANDUMB really had to be a ripoff to ASDFmovie? Did it had to do what ASDFmovie has already accomplished years before RANDUMB took center stage? What's worse is that, I didn't even laugh once while watching this short and that's not a good thing. 


I'm not trying to be harsh on this short since I heard that the EW crew's schedule is a little tight and to be fair here, everyone doesn't have the time to do something. But in all seriousness, they could've done something even better than this. 


Alright, that's pretty much all I got for this. My final rating to RANDUMB is a turnip and toast out of 10 or in this case a 4 out of 10. Before you ask, yes, I have a special criteria on how I rank Eddsworld episodes and I plan on making a tier list. RANDUMB is probably go with The Birds And The Bees in the D tier.


Oh and uh, we also get the return of Detective Edward Gold and Sheriff Thompson, but they're aren't in Saloonatics artsyle and they were brought back at what cost? Oh, for an ad for NordVPN. .....How lovely...


....Why? 


Okay, that's enough from me. See ya in the next review. Bye!

Yohoho! It's been two years since the whole bandwagon of calling out the TBATF crew horrible people and pretty much tearing their comic to shreds as the majority of the Eddsworld fandom has some issues with it. 


You know the story by know. The people who ranted/talked about the comic, myself included, gave out criticism but the TBATF crew didn't like it and they ended up blocking a whole bunch people who dislike their comic like a child who didn't get the cool action figure that they've always wanted for Christmas. 


Apparently I was meant to post this on the anniversary month of where things got heated which was April, but one thing lead to another and I had to delay this until now. 


Want to know why? Well, it's because of the title. I will be reviewing Chapter 7 Pt. 2. Well, I'll actually ranting about it, but never mind that. If you read through my second rant on TBATF, I've talked about Chapter 7 Pt. 1 along with going over the previous chapters. All I have to say is that Chaoter 7 Pt. 1 was just blood awful. 


It's not as bad Chapter 5 and oh boy, Chapter 5 is really, really bad and it shall serve as a reminder on what not to do in a fancomic and mostly a comic in general. 


Anyway, enough rambling. You've came here to see me talk about this comic again for the third time in a row along the circus clowns that the run the whole thing who can't even take one tiny shred of criticism since it apparently "hurts their feelings". 


Anyway, Chapter 7 Pt. 2 is the second part to Chapter 7 Pt. 1. In the first part, we got Edd's point of view as he escapes from getting captured by the Red Army and Vlahd. In Part 2, we get the Matt view since he didn't have enough panel time in the previous two chapters.


I'm going to stop right here just to say that I've really established this before Matt is a comfort character to me. I've always loved Matt and there's never a time where he hasn't put a smile on my face every time I see him. However, the Matt in TBATF makes me want to cry. 


I am aware that the creators took inspiration from Legacy Matt and didn't even bother on attempting to get his personality right. I have said talked about this in my first rant that TBATF Matt is portrayed as an idiot, but I also went on to say that Matt can be smart in his own way. 


If I were to be asked on how I write the Eddsworld characters in terms of fanfiction form, I would say that it mostly depends on the scene that you're writing them in. You're mostly in control on how they should interact with the world around them. If you're not too sure you can always watch a couple of episodes to take note on how they interact with things that they see or you can always just write down silly prompts in the style of a script. 


Now how does this go with TBATF exactly? Well, there's none of it considering the fact that they don't care and they took the time to look at terrible Wattpad fanfics just to say "Yep, that's how that character acts. Let's do that". 


Alright enough stalling, let's do this. This was a pain to go through two times and the only reason why I'm doing this is because I care about all of you. Now join me as take you on an adventure of nothing but misery. Also there's going to be a lot of spoilers, if you even care about them.


So Chapter 7 Pt. 2, opens up with Matt sitting at a table in a cafeteria area looking at his reflection because remember, he lost his eye and chin to a large angry Russian man instead of a sad and completely tragic way. He then gets pulled back into reality as he overhears Paul and Patryck talking about, I don't know, race cars. Actually no, they're talking about the time machine wristband that Edd took till Paul points out that Matt had been listening in. 


Matt then says that if he can get his hands on the wristband, he would able to go back in time to prevent his face from getting ruined by Vlahd. However, Patryck gives him death threats but he doesn't get to finish his sentence when the soldiers with the masks on their faces start to go haywire. This doesn't last long as the soldiers get shot and killed by what seems to by a higher ups lead by a *insert female leader that has no personality and is only there to look attractive at her job*. 


The female leader says that there's been some sort of breach and say that everyone needs to get to their posts just take down any rogue Maktesløse that comes their way. Ah, well that's nice. She then mocks both Paul and Patryck who already lost their relevance since Chapter 5 and apparently their positions which were working close with Tord. Oh, what sad times we're living in. 


Without even noticing, Matt leaves the cafeteria mumbling to himself before struggling to open a door with a keycard. Okay, I'm stopping right here just to say that what Matt was holding at the start of the chapter wasn't a mirror. Instead it was a keycard; however, I'm saying that the keycard has a mirror on one of its sides, because this is how much I care about this fancomic. 


Anyway, Matt gets angry and is about go all "Matt Smash" till he overhears Tord talking to Edd via through a mind controlled Tom. Ah remember Tom in this comic? No? Well neither do I. 


Erm...Matt learns that Edd is at the amusement park and decides that he needs to go there. However Matt realizes that his eye is a camera meaning that Tord watches his every movement before putting on an eye patch in order to cover it. Wow, Matt actually did something smart. Where was this many chapters ago? 


Anywho, Matt manages to pass by a whole lot of people without getting notice since nobody didn't bother on keeping watch to see if anything tries to pass by them. Along the way, Matt catches a plate filled with ribs till he stops at one of the gates leading outside of the base. 


Like any well established base, it is filled to the brim with security robots and even one of Vlahd's pet monster guard dog things. Matt not wanting anything to do with it and calls it quits till he falls down a manhole which has a sign that says "Warning! Watch out for convenient plot holes". Gee thanks TBATF crew for putting that in. It's not like we the viewers are a bunch of idiots and can't figure it out that Matt needs to go underground in order to get pass all the guards and security because plot needs to happen. 


So, Matt falls down the hole and ends up in a dark, unsettling place which turns out to be the same lab that Edd, Tom, and Matt went through and eventually unleashed a whole bunch of monster that ending killing everyone in the lab causing the whole place to be destroyed and abandoned. He eventually walks through the lab and makes his way out without getting ambushed by a large mysterious creature. Luckily, he makes out of that there safely. 


Before we continue, I would like to point out that I had to go through 67 pages just to review this one chapter. Plus, I also had to go through four panels of each page which was exhausting. In case if you didn't know, the TBATF crew copied the same format to the official Eddsworld comics which in full honesty is pretty cool. Unfortunately, there is just one tiny little problem. The comic format was used to get a joke across in a short amount of time. It wasn't meant for a fully fledged story or have overly detailed backgrounds nor stretched to a point just for those said detailed backgrounds. Sometimes they pull of the backgrounds decently and sometimes they don't. 


In order to combat this and to keep my sanity, I will be giving you highlights on what happens next. Enjoy! 


- Matt walks through an amusement park which is the same amusement park from FunDead

- Matt finds the robot thing that can cover a person's scars through using holographic projections 

- The robot thing gets caught by Matt who hides from Vlahd and his men including the three headed monster dog like mutant, Cyberus 

- The robot thing escapes as Matt chases it around the amusement park 

- Matt eventually catches the robot thing again before it get destroyed by the strong jaws of Cyberus 

- Matt runs away as he gets chased by the most underwhelming thing to ever exist (yes, really). 

- Matt climbs onto a ferris wheel but Cyberus climbs up after him 

- Matt realizes that the monster was slipping before kicking it right off and ends up causing its unfortunate demise which makes Vlahd very angry 

- We then get a scene where Dollar Store Tord (yes, that's what I'm calling the Tord in this comic as) throws a fit over Vlahd failing his mission and going against his orders 

- We cut back to Matt attempting to coach a seemingly knocked out Tom out of mind control to not avail. Tom's no longer a character, he's a prop

- It turns out that Cyberus was still alive despite being heavily damaged. It was about to attack Matt only to get crushed by debris that came from the ferris wheel which means that it is definitely dead

- Matt then goes over to a control panel room in order to save Edd from getting killed by Vlahd by taking control of the roller coaster which causes an explosion with Vlahd in it

- Unfortunately, Vlahd wasn't dead as he suddenly emerges from the wreckage only to be badly injured and even more pissed off which causes Matt to run off without encountering a brainwashed Mark (no, I am not kidding) in the process 


Okay, highlights over. So, we cut back to the Red Army base where Vlahd collapses on the ground due to his injured and gets taken to the infirmary. In my second rant of TBATF, I predicted that Vlahd might come back as a cyborg and basically becomes the Terminator but only Russian. I suppose I'm somewhat right. I don't know. Speaking of Vlahd has anyone noticed how pissed off he looks in the comic? Ever wondered why he's pissed? It's because he was forced to be in the comic against his own will and I honestly don't blame him for being so fed up with everything that happened so far. I would be pissed off too if I was forcefully placed into a comic that I didn't agree to be apart of after seeing the script and I had orders getting constantly barked at me by an angry Norwegian that has horrible looking scars on his face and whatever fashion sense he got going. 


Anyway, after Vlahd gets taken to the infirmary, Matt comes sneaking back into the base. He thinks he did a good job at not being spotted only to get confronted by Dollar Store Tord who asks him where he has been. Matt, being all slick, tells Dollar Store Tord a very convoluted explanation that talks about absolutely nothing which lasts till he gets told to stop. He eventually tells Dollar Store Tord that he fell in a puddle after he gets asked why he's wet. 


Dollar Store Tord lets him go as Matt is ordered to change into a new outfit and gets purple turtleneck. Apparently if you look very closely it's actually Mark's meaning that he's dead. Oh wow, hand me down. This totally ruins my headcanon on where Future Matt got his outfit from. The same goes for Future Edd and Future Tom. Thanks TBATF, you've ruined my image of pre-WTFuture. I really appreciate it...Not. Now, stop it. 


In the last page of the chapter, Matt gets cornered by Paul and Patryck after he spied on Dollar Store Tord during one of his gatherings or something and that pretty much wraps up Chapter 7 Pt. 2. 


Oh thank god, it's finally over. That was exhausting to get through. I had to go through this one chapter to give you this review. It took me forever mind you to the point where I had to stop working on it for several weeks, more like months. 


Now, the reason question is, is Chapter 7 Pt. 2 worse than Pt. 1? Is it just as bad as Chapter 5. Well yeah, it's not really good since it pretty dragged Matt across the mud in terms of his personality. However, it's not worse than Chapter 5. If I had to put this chapter in a ranking list of quality, it would be like this (these are mostly my opinion, so don't get too mad. Alright): 


Chapter 1 and 2 are the only good chapters and had Eddsworld vibes. They both get a 8/10 

Chapter 3 wasn't as good as the first chapters, but it was still decent. It gets a 7/10

Chapter 4 was kinda of nose dive in terms of character writing. It gets a 6/10 

Chapter 5 was a really bad chapter according to those who've reviewed it. It gets a 1/10

Chapter 6 was mediocre and carried off from Chapter 5. It gets a 2.5/10

Chapter 7 Pt. 1 kinda started off strong, but it later became absolute nonsense. A 3.5/10

And finally Chapter 7 Pt. 2 apparently comes in with the same score as the previous part. 


Alright, that should do it for now. Sorry this took forever. Like I said, this has been really draining. I might do a review on Chapter 8 and so far....ehh.....I have no comment. 


If you want an Eddsworld fancomic that doesn't destroy any of the characters personalities than I highly suggest that you go check out the fancomics Wish You Were Here and Crimson Future. 


Wish You Were Here focuses on Tord who's the main character and it's has a premise where he comes back to London after his trip to the Bahamas only to find that the entire country got taken over by the Red Army. Apparently, it takes the fan concept of Clone Tord where this one clone in particular becomes evil and becomes the Red Leader. I actually really like this premise especially when it involves an Eddsworld fan theory. 


Crimson Future on the other hand is a fancomic that takes place in the future obviously and it heavily focuses on the Red Army. 


You can find Wish You Were Here on sites such as DeviantArt, Tumblr, Twitter, and Eddsworld Amino and for Crimson Future can be found on Instagram. Please go give these amazing creations support and go shower some love to the people behind them. These two fancomics were made by the fans for the fans and they actually care and show creativity to these projects. 


Anyway, this has been Lbat1901 and I'll- oh, my, it's looks like the TBATF put a little disclaimer in the bottom of their recent chapter. Uh, it's bit too late to be putting it in, but eh, let's have look. I'm sure it can be that bad ri- hold on, what is this? 


"This comic is not associated with Eddsworld. Solely fanmade by four hot-as-hell women"

"Four hot-as-well women"? ........Oh f**k off! 


Okay. Alright. This has been Lbat1901 and I'll see you next time. Bye.
