So after getting my rant that talks about the current behavior that the EW crew been showing up a couple of weeks ago, there's been a lot of discourse going around. I mean a lot of discourse. Like seriously just go on Tumblr and type in "ew discourse" and you'll a whole bunch of allegations on the crew members of Eddsworld. There's even a discourse on Bing. I am not making this up.

In order to take my mind and basically your minds off of it, I will be looking at something that's fan made. Yep, fan made content based on Eddsworld and no, it's not TBATF. TBATF is a disgrace to Eddsworld as a whole. 

Instead, I'll be looking at a fan project simply titled Old Friends. 

First off it should be worth noting, that I don't usually review fan made content. I used to do it during my early days of being the fandom and having a different username. The thing is is that....well...they weren't good and they never saw the light of day, but overtime, I've improved greatly. 

Also I plan making this some of series where I look over content made by the fandom depending on how well this does. The reason why being is that I have something in between doing episode reviews and rants. 

Anyway, I've heard about Old Friends and by heard, I meant seeing art of it in the Eddsworld tag on Twitter. Technically this was months ago, going back to early January 2021. I was planning on checking it out, but I kinda forgot about until in mid April, I've received a Twitter DM from a person that goes by the name BananaBread. It turns out that they really liked reading my rant on Legacy Tord even going as to far to say that I have some interesting input on the character and the series. They then asked me if I can review Old Friends which their project and I agreed and they sent me a link to it. 

And so I was off. I've read through the entire thing and you're probably wondering what it's all about. As much I would like to go over what happens in the story, there's people out there that don't want any spoilers and I respect that. So instead of spoiling the whole thing, I'll tell you what you need to know. 

So Old Friends takes place after the events of The End and goes into the future where basically the Red Army took over London. The main characters are, and it's not really a surprise, Edd, Matt, Tom, and Tord. There are also more characters that also appear in the story and they are side characters that appear and those characters would be Paul, Patryck, several ocs that go by the names of Raymond, Fern, Igor, and Sebastian. 

When I read Old Friends for the first time, I was just in blind and I wasn't expecting anything at all. There are 64 pages of content to go through and I have to say, it was a treat. The story was interesting and execution of it was really good. Each character goes through some troubling times which mixes into the main plot so well. 

BananaBread, if you're reading up to this part right now, all I have to say is that, you did a mighty fine job at writing this. I am being serious I say this. The portrayal of the four boys plus the side characters were spot on. The dialogue and line delivery were amazing. I was so hyped to know what would happen next that I couldn't stop reading till it hit 3 o'clock in the morning. I was invested into the story that much. 

I was basically at the edge of my seat, well bed, waiting on what might happen next. The pacing was also very good. I didn't have or found a single thing wrong. Even if I were to find something wrong, it wouldn't stop me from enjoying the story. It was easy to follow and it made sense. 

So, like I always do at the end of my episode reviews, it's time give this lovely project a ranting. Instead of ranting it a number out of 10, I will use a ranking system of 5. Anyway without any delay, my final ranting for Old Friends is a 4.5 out of 5. What does that mean? It's means that it's good.

Alrighty then, that was my first small review of a fan made project that relates to Eddsworld. I know it's not perfect, but it's something. I might talk about other fan made content in the future and if you want me to talk about something, let me know. Oh and if you're a creator of an Eddsworld project, feel free to ask me if you want me to talk about it.

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

*sigh*....

This has been put off for awhile considering the fact that I didn't want to talk about it, but after seeing people making full on text posts on Tumblr, I just had to put my own two cents. 

I also had to take some time process what I just witnessed so I can have a clear mind.

In case if you've been under a rock or have been doing other things (which I don't blame you), Bing posted a video on his YouTube channel, Past Bing Future Bing, called the "Complete History of Tom's ass" after a post for National Naked Day which showcased Tom, Matt, and Edd naked got taken down on Instagram.

And yes, someone got offended by Tom's sweet bare arse in all of its HD glory, but that's not else that happened. Apparently Bing kinda did a little oopsie which caused a lot of commotion in the fandom and I'm here to talk about it.

Before we start, I just want to say that I love the Eddsworld fandom and I happen to contribute to it more than any fandom that I am in. 

If it wasn't for Eddsworld getting involved with my life I wouldn't be here where I currently am at today. It really means a lot to me and I am great full for it.

I've been through a lot within this fandom. I've seen the many ups and the many downs and I mean the really downs. Sure I had my share of breaks during the time when the Legacy era was still going, but I only came back stronger.

I have a lot of respect for the crew especially for Bing, Matt, and even Tomska before his departure. However, despite all of this, I can't really excuse the small, small bad actions that they do and criticize them for it.

I've criticzed the comic TBATF and the people behind it in the past. Nobody is safe from getting criticize. You can like something and the people behind it, but you can't ignore their many awful discussions when it comes to things. I'm looking at you Butch Hartman. God, how you've fell from grace.

Anyway, the video is what by the title suggests, is a full documentary on Tom's arse which was pretty enjoyable to watch. 

Yeah you go Bing, show those haters that Tom's arse is sacred and shall never be taken down ever.

Unfortunately, this is where the main issue came right about the nine minute mark. Bing begins talking about Sinsworld...out of nowhere. Um..ok, you do you. 

At first I was going to let this slide buuuuut...he ended comparing nsfw artists to terrorists. When I first heard this, I thought I was hearing things wrong and I went to play it back again but no he actually said it. 

He then went on a rant about it which I have nothing against; however, it was...ah...how do I put it exactly without being mean about it? .....Let's just it was bad. He didn't even bother going into a full depth explanation at to why Sinsworld is bad. All he did was say "eW ItS NaSty, BeCAuse I sAId So". Like come on Bing, at least try to back up your points. Don't just leave me confused and lost. That's not how you do a rant at all.

Rant Lessons No. Whatever: If you're going to do a rant on certain thing, make sure to back up what you say with an explanation. More importantly, go in depth as you take the topic that you have an issue with and take it apart. 

The only thing that I agreed with him on was that despite nsfw artists having amazing anatomy skills, they were wasting their talent on drawing p*rn which will hurt their chances of getting hired within the art industry. However, we can't control on what they want to draw. As long as they aren't hurting anyone and are appropriately tagging their stuff then it's fine.

Hey, at least on the bright side, Bing acknowledges that Sinsworld is a thing. All I can is that, congrats Bing, I am so proud of you. Really I am. I'm proud that you know what Sinsworld is. Here take these cookies, you deserve them

Oh, what's that? You thought that was the end of it? Ha, I wish. Not long after giving a terrible rant on why Sinsworld is a problem, he went on to talk about TomTord. Worst of all, he shamed those who liked it.

On second thought Bing....give me back those cookies. You don't deserve them not after this. 

Apparently Bing's words were so strong that people who like two ship any Eddsworld character especially two from the main cast, felt really bad for themselves and stop shipping all together. There were literally people on Instagram making apology posts and ended up removing everything ship related on their account. Some even deleted their account. 

Uh Bing, I have a question for you. Where in the world did you get this from? On the Eddsworld Discord server, it says that ships are totally ok. Did you get hit by a bus or something? Like seriously, when was shipping a problem? I know that when Legacy was still going it was a problem, but those days were over once Tomska stepped down. It's 2021, let people ship what they want and don't shame them for it. 

Bing, I beg you, I need more context on these so called "rants". You're not explaining things. You're just going on a tangent and saying things without bothering to go even further.

Alright, I wasn't planning on adding this, but I figure that I need to get this out. As a person who dislikes TomTord because I don't see the dynamics of both Tom and Tord being together in a loving relationship and that The End really, really pushed it for me, I don't shame people for liking it especially if it makes them happy. 

When I see fanart or a fanfic about it, I don't be all like: "ew, ToMToRD, wHy aRe YOu SHipPiNg ThiS? I HaTe ThIS SHiP", instead I ignore it and continue on my day. It's not that hard.

So from the official unreleased Lbat1901's Declassified Eddsworld Fandom Survival Guide: "do not harass or shame people for liking a certain ship that you might possibly dislike/hate". That's it. That's the message. 

While I was getting this put together, I looked through the comments in Bing's video to see anything negative. Unfortunately out of the 230+ comments, I've only found one. Let's just say that Bing got lucky on this. I actually expected him to get blasted into oblivion for saying all this crap.

In a Patreon AMA, a question was asked about Bing's pissy attitude that he had displayed in the video considering the fact that he made people feel bad about shipping which made him go on a full panic meaning that he actually felt sorry for what he said.

So does that mean he'll make a full on apologize? I hope so, but I'm going to keep my expectations real low. 

So with this in mind, I think I should ask you this very important question as a fellow Eddhead myself: 

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!? How did the Eddsworld crew become a god damn DISGRACE--, no.....a DISAPPOINTMENT, to the Eddsworld fandom and the entire fanbase as a whole!? 

Well I tell you what the hell happened. It really wasn't a problem when Edd was still alive, but after he passed it decided to unmask itself. 

It began to creep up during the time where Legacy was on its hay day and when Tomska was the head director along side with Matt. 

Say what you want about Legacy and how much you either love it or hate it, at the end of the day you have to admit it was worth it. The series would've die at the side of the road instead of continuing Edd's legacy. Sure it did took away what made Eddsworld was known for in the past and changed he personalities of Edd, Tom, and Matt in order to make the series "modern" and "kid friendly"; however, it went back to its roots with episode Fun Dead which was a callback to Zombeh Nation and the Zombeh Attack trilogy. Overall, Tomska did a good job minus the decisions that were made

Fast forwarding to 2020, Eddsworld made a comeback with the release of Fan Service 2 and it was a comeback for sure. I made a review of it and praising the quality of it, but after publishing the review, i didn't bother on adding the fact that the crew were making fun of fanfic writers especially the ones that make some weird stories. 

Look, my reviews on Eddsworld episodes are mostly positive, but it doesn't mean that they're all perfect. In Fan Service 2's case, I did agree that Wattpad has some weird stuff on it. I can even go as as far to say that ao3 is basically a circus. Trust me I've seen some interesting things while I was scrolling through the Eddsworld tag. But when it comes to making fun of people who write these kinds of fanfics, it's where I draw the line. 

(Editing Lbat1901: Hey, it's future Lbat here and I just want to cut in to say something about Beaster Bunny. I know I gave it praise in my review, but I had some issues with the episode. First off the pacing was just...ugh....it wasn't good. It was very slow. I get that this the first full length episode in a longtime, but some scenes could've been trimmed down or cut out. 

There's this joke about kids with special needs. Yeah, it was wrong and this coming from a person who's autistic. 

I think there was a pedo joke or something in it. I don't know. What were they even thinking when they were writing this episode? 

Also there was a cameo of Vivziepop, you know, the creator of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss which everyone in their mother loathed. I don't have anything to say about it since she's been talked to death about. So yeah.

Oh and there's been a callout on Jamie Spicer-Lewis and Bown two former people who were on the production team of Eddsworld. Luckily before things got bad both Matt and Bing addressed it and kicked them out of the team which was good. However, I wish they address the previous issues that I talked about so far

Anyway, it's 2:30 in the morning, I'm tired. Ok...bye) 

I was saving this at the very last since it really, really bothers me. It's about the crew's treatment towards Tord. I like Tord but I don't think he'll ever make an appearance in future episodes in Eddsworld Beyond; however, there are fans out there that question if Tord will make a comeback. 

You think the crew would answer and yet they completely threw us a curve ball. The official Eddsworld website has been updated with new features and tabs including a FAQ section. When I heard about it I got curious and so I checked it out. 

I kinda wish I didn't. 

Right at the start and f the FAQ paged there is a question asking about Tord and the crew thought that it was funny to simply say this: "It's been 10 years, get over it" 

........

....Wha- What the- ....

What the f**k? What the actual f**k? 

Are you serious right now? Are you kidding me? That's really your answer as to why Tord isn't coming back? 

You think this funny? Is this supposed to be a joke? Am I supposed to be laughing? 

Well I'm not laughing. This isn't cool. 

People who are fans of Tord have been asking ever since The End was released and when you, Matt, said that you will be continuing Eddsworld. Fans have been asking if he'll make a return. Instead of addressing of it, you decided to act like pricks and slap us in the face with this sorry of an excuse for an answer.

You can't do that. Like you seriously can't go out of your way just say that and you expect us to take that? Well you're wrong. 

Also do you find it a little sus that they keep up the episodes where Tord appears in yet they said they won't put him into any future episode and are pretty much trying to erase him from existence? *sniffs*....What is that smell? *sniffs again*.....Oh, I smell a whole lot of bs that's what.

Listen up Bing and Matt, since I am only going to say this once, I'm not angry. I am very disappointed in you. You've brought dishonor.

If I could end this on a high note, I would say that Bing and Matt need to get their crap together. Like c'mon guys, you're over 30 years old, stop acting like this and be adults. Again, it's 2021.

At long last, Beaster Bunny, an episode that was hyped since February, is finally out before Easter and is on the day of pranks which is a good thing because I will be busy on Saturday and Sunday. If the episode were to be released on Sunday, I probably wouldn't write the review for it till like on...err...Tuseday? Maybe? 

Ok, so if you were to pay attention to the thumbnail, you've might of noticed that the episode is longer than five minutes and it's not a short. 

Psst! Hey! It's free real estate 

Also unlike the last episode which isn't an episode at all considering how short it was, there was no ad for Beaster Bunny. Speaking of ads, we got sponsorship. Yes boys and girls, it's ad time.

Thanks to NordVPN for the sponsorship and now let's get right into the review 

(Editor: Hold up, I don't recall a sponsorship. Where in the bloody hell did you get this from!? Sorry, but I'm shutting this down) 

The episode opens up in a park at the middle of night when suddenly we get a shot of something in the bushes. Ah, at first, I thought it was the Beaster Bunny but no, it was a brown bunny carrying a basket filled with eggs. Aw...I was at the end of my seat.

It turns out the bunny may be in fact the Easter Bunny that every small kid believes in and that it was hiding eggs. So far, so nice. What could go wron- oh wait....what's that in the sky? Oh no! Look out Easter Bunny! Move! Something is falling from the sky and heading straight towards you! 

Unfortunately the Easter Bunny stands there and watches the mysterious object with eyes filled with fear as it hits the Easter Bunny head on. The dust clears revealing a large pink (or purple?) egg. It suddenly cracks as strange liquid begins pouring out. The camera then moves up showing the moon and without warning, a large silhouette of a creature roars into the night. 

Could the egg possibly turned the innocent Easter Bunny into the title of episode? Well I wouldn't be reviewing it, now would I? 

We get a cool title transition and we finally get to know who voices Tom. It a guy by the name of Ed Templer. 

After the transition, we get a scene of the park again but it's daytime and we get the first bit of dialogue from Edd and Tom. Hmph...I like the new voice actor for Tom. It's actually pretty good. I know it's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. 

Ok, EW crew, I'm already invested. 

So apparently Edd had Tom in blindfold and told him that he's giving him a surprise; however, Tom doesn't like it. Also it turns out that Edd made both Tom and Matt wear blindfolds and they drove Tom's car. 

Edd brought them to the park so they can take part in an egg hunting competition, but none of them want anything to do with it. Err...I mean just Tom. Matt ran to get his face painted.

Once getting to the face painting tent, Matt knocks down a bunch of kids till he reached the face painter who asks him what he wants and with a deep voice, he said bunny. 

Meanwhile with Edd, he encounters a little girl and the girl gives Edd an evil eye. We then get the mayor who's on stage announcing to everyone that egg hunting competition will begin without making Easter based puns which nobody laughs. 

The egg hunting competition begins and Edd scrambles off. We get a scene of Tom where he's asked by two women on which kid belongs to him. Tom points out that Edd and Matt are his kids...or should I say grown adult men acting like kids are his and cue the scene where Matt is get his face painted while Edd looks for eggs. 

We then get a montage where Edd hunts for eggs while he constantly runs in the little girl from before. I personally enjoyed this montage. It was great to watch. 

Technically Edd is looking at the scoreboard where he is currently tied with the little girl who both found 88 eggs. Not wanting to lose, Edd spots another egg that hasn't been found, but before he heads over to where the egg is at, he notices something moving in trees. It turns out to be bunny, but it wasn't any ordinary bunny. No, it was the Beaster Bunny. 

Finally, after so much hype at the end of the last episode, we get to see Beaster Bunny in its full appearance. Ah yes! Here it comes as it jumps out from hiding. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! 

The Beaster Bunny lands in front of Edd, Tom, and Matt and the camera reveals the Beaster Bunny and it's covered in chocolate. Chocolate? Chocolate! CHOCOLATE!!! 

In case if you didn't know before the episode was released, I made concept art on what Beaster Bunny would look like after assuming that it was covered in radioactive material. Apparently I wasn't on the radioactive stuff since the huge egg at the beginning probably contained which caused a mutation mixed with chocolate.

Speaking of concept, I've spent all of late February and basically the entire month of March writing a fanfic where Edd, Tom, and Matt fight the Beaster Bunny. I released the prologue on Tuesday. After seeing what Beaster Bunny officially looks like, I probably need to take out some things from the script that wrote, but that's for a later chapter. 

Anyway, everyone gazes at the creature as the Beaster Bunny gazes back at them before roaring causing panic at the park. 

We then get a scene of Eduardo and Mark as everyone runs past them before coming face to face with the Beaster Bunny. Mark runs away in fear leaving Eduardo behind, but Eduardo kinda backs down and states that he feel like being a jerk. Oh Eduardo....you poor, poor man. Why guys looking at me? Eduardo doesn't have any feelings besides anger. I'm not....I- Eduardo......I want give you a hug *cries* 

When Eduardo cries, I cry.

Erm....the Beaster Bunny continues to cause havoc and throws a man who tries shooting at it. The man cries out for Super Guy, but....remember he got killed.

Back at the park, Edd sees nog on a table and tells Tom about it, but Tom immediately puts his face into a bowl filled with it. Edd deciding to end of the Beaster Bunny himself grabs a barrel of nog and picks up a tiki torch and confronts the Beaster Bunny head on in epic showdown.

Edd says "Egg to meet you" as Tom and Matt just stares at him before Edd puts the torch in front of the barrel but it slips out his arms and explodes in the opposite way. 

Meanwhile, we get a scene of trucks that carry nog on their way to the park. Back at the park, we see a man that brought animals for a petting zoo of some sort and starts packing them into a briefcase which big enough all the animals. Don't ask, it's called Eddsworld logic and cartoon logic. 

The man realizing that bunny that he has us missing and we cut back to the trucks and then we cut to a bunny wearing a top hat. Thanks to a watchful eye, the truck's brakes get slammed on and the truck ends up not hitting the bunny. 

Back at the park, Edd notices nog on ground that came leaking of the truck before kicking a torch down causing the nog to be set ablaze as the Beaster Bunny gets blasted into the sky saving everyone. 

Matt says that they saved the town, but Edd gets distracted by an egg. Tom then says with a sigh that he remembers that Edd was the smart one, but in full honesty, all of three are the three idiots but they're our three idiots. 

After a few credits scroll, we get a scene of Matt reading off a list of Easter puns thinking that they're better than the ones that Edd comes up with. 

After another credits scroll, we see that egg at the beginning has been taken to some government lab where's it is being examined. Afterwards we get a scene of Easter Island where deep underground there are more eggs and a mysterious creature emerges from the shadow hinting another plot based episode with another month. 

Ah yes, time for time more fan theories and more fanfic writing for me. 

And that was Beaster Bunny. I give it a solid chocolate bunny out of 10. 

Thanks for reading up to this far. I'll see you in the next episode review.

So I was browsing the eddsworld tag on tumblr the other day and I saw a post that mentioned about Bing talking about what happened with the Instagram post of Tom's arse and after that he mentioned nsfw artists and sinsworld

At first I was going to let this slide but I got curious and decided to see the video for myself. At first it wasn't bad till I got passed the 9 minute block where he compared the people who draw sinsworld stuff to terrorists and name dropped tomtord

Yeah, I wish I can make this up but Bing actually said it

I honestly have nothing against Bing addressing the issues of where the younger fans of eddsworld might come across sinsworld; however, the way of how he ranted about was not a good explanation and just has him complaining on how gross it is

The pool of the many reasons as to why sinsworld is bad are far and wide and Bing is only scratching only an inch of it

Happy Valentine's Day everyone...well Happy early Valentine's Day

Welcome back to another Eddsworld episode review. Today I will be taking the newest short The Birds and The Bees which is a Valentine's Day themed short.

Also I just want to say that this review may be very short unlike how my reviews on Fan Service 2 and Casting Call were long since I had a lot to say in them.

Anyway enough of me rambling, let's get into it.

The short opens with a typical mad scientist guy that you see in those movies and oh, he has an accent. We will get to that later.

The mad scientist rambles out loud about completing his latest project which took him a longtime before pulling a level causing a chain reaction. 

Afterwards, the door connected to some sort of mixer opens revealing the scientist's creation. At first we a silhouette of a woman surrounding by clouds which at viewing for the first time, he probably created a woman out of, you know, scientific material but not really.

If you guess by the title and by looking at those tubes that have picture of a bee and bird in them, the scientist actually created a hybrid and boy, the scientist fell in love. 

We then get a three scenes of them spending together from going on a picnic, to bike riding, to eating ice cream.

Eventually we get a scene of them at a restaurant where the scientist begins talking about his feelings to Bird-Bee (yes, that's what I am calling it) but before he could really set the mood, Bird-Bee leaves to go the restroom. 

The scientist then hears Bird-Bee's phone vibrating in her purse before getting it out only to see that someone named Jeff texted her. The scientist who is shocked tells Bird-Bee about as she came back. 

Bird-Bee breaks up with the scientist as he begins crying.

We then see both Bing and Matt who were watching the whole thing go down before doing an sponsorship that involves Audible. Also if you look very closely, you can see Matt eating a lobster. This is cannibalism.

Ok I just going to take the moment to say that the runtime of the short was mostly taken up by an ad and that they were a lot of people who seemly disliked it.

Ehh....I liked it. I mean it wasn't terrible, it was decent. However, we must remember to respect other people's opinions even though that there are some that you question sometimes. 

Also we should all know that animation takes time and so does art and writing. Game developing also takes time since you're starting from the ground and working your way up. 

Plus it's super important to pay your crew for their time and talent. 

Oh and remember the part where I said that I'll be talking about the scientist's accent later...well, how about right now? So while I was rewatching the short several times before writing this review, I've seen comments where people were comparing the scientist to Tord by voice.

Uh....I hate to ruin people's theories but I kinda have to debunk this. So I'm sorry, please don't hurt me. 

The accent that the scientist has is German which pretty typical for a mad scientist. Meanwhile, Tord has a Norwegian accent even though in Legacy, his accent sounded Slavic but that's a topic for another day. 

There is a slight difference between a German and a Norwegian accent. 

Alright enough of that, I was saving the very last thing and that would be the small sneak peek of the upcoming episode where we see some sort of bunny like creature that seems to be oozing out radioactive substances and I am pretty sure that it might be released around Easter. 

I don't know if that's true but I'm just guessing.

Anyway that should do it for the review. Thank you for making this far.

This has been Lbat1901 and after getting this review, I will be writing a fanfic where Edd, Matt, and Tom will be fighting against the mutant bunny monster despite the fact that I have other fanfics that I need to finish and actually start writing. Heheh....oh god help me

Anyway see ya later

2020: I've already made the start of a new decade a living hell. I've brought nothing but chaos and a worldwide pandemic. I even made people loose their minds. I was going to do something else, but nah....it doesn't matter at this point. However, it would seem that I have a thorn in my side that I need to pull out.

Speaking of a thorn..... you're next, Lbat1901! 

Lbat1901(me): 2020, you bastard!!! 

2020: Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me? 

Lbat1901(me): I can't beat the everlasting sh*t out of you without getting closer

2020: Oh ho! Then come as close as you like 

*Lbat1901 and 2020 walk towards each other and at the speed of light, Star Platinum appears and attempts to punch 2020 in the face* 

Star Platinum: ORA!!! 

*2020 manages to block the attack by summoning their Stand Covid-19* 

2020: *smirks* Too slow, too slow! Covid-19 is the ultimate Stand. Even without its power to stop time and cause chaos in its wake, its speed and power far exceed that of your Star Platinum

Lbat1901(me): So Covid-19 is the same type of Stand as Star Platinum. Not much range, but immense power

2020: You know, I've wanted to test you a little to see if my Stand can beat you; however, it seems that I did some miscalculations on Star Platinum

Lbat1901(me): And by testing me, you actually mean by patting me which did nothing to hurt me, correct? 

2020: Hmph....I don't like your tone. It would seem that I shall rise to your silly provocation and test you a bit more. I hope you're ready Lbat1901 because I, 2020, will be the very last thing that you'll ever face

*2020 and Lbat1901 stood still for a few minutes as they watched each other before deciding to throw punches with their Stands* 

Star Platinum: Ora! Ora! Ora! 

Covid-19: Muda! Muda! Muda! 

[ |To be continued |]

________________________________________________________________________________________

We've made it. We've finally made it. 

God damn, this year has been absolutely miserable. 

If there was to be only word to be used to describe 2020, it would be the word f**k.

Holy f**king sh*t. Where do I even start with this train wreck of a year? 

To those who are new to this, I'll make this clear. I've been doing year end reviews since 2016 and quite frankly it became a side job. Every passing year, my reviews get nastier and nastier. So before we begin, please forgive if I get emotional.

2020 was supposed to be the start of a brand new decade, but we must ask ourselves, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!!!? How did 2020 become a god damn DISGRACE!? 

In order to start off we must go to January also known as the month where zero f**ks are given. I swear to god that January in later years has been absolutely horrible. 

But this year's January, had Donald Trump go onto Twiter and threaten World War III and guess what, it only happened in the first three days into the new year. Are you serious right now!? 

We can't even have a fresh start into the new year especially if it's the first week without Trump f**king things up. 

To add more insult to injury, the wildfires in Australia continued throughout the month of January. Oh, wait, I meant bushfires. It started in June 2019 (which is spring) and went out of control in September in the same year. It begin to worsened in November 2019 and continued throughout the new year till March 2020. It burned more than 46 million acres (72,000 square miles). 

And that's the end of it, we lost a celebrity in the first of the year and at the start of whole new decade and that celebrity was Kobe Bryant. Oh god, nobody was ready to lose him of all people. I've never recovered from this. It still hurts. 

In late August, we lost Chadwick Boseman unexpectedly due to a long battle with cancer. However this isn't the only cancer related celebrity death, we lost Alex Trebek the host of Jeopardy in early November. 

But the most biggest offence has to be the worst part of this year and that is Covid-19. When the news on Covid-19 came into light in February everyone around the planet were on their toes once they heard that China was having trouble keeping it under control. Technically China had problems with this respiratory airborne virus back in November and December 2019. 

Of course Trump himself downplayed the virus instead of sending the pandemic team to China. Speaking of the pandemic team, Trump actually fired them because they were under the Obama administration when in fact, it was formed by George W Bush and was added on when Obama was the president. But did Trump realize this? Nah fam, let's get rid of everything that had Obama's name on it especially when it needs to be used in case of a future global pandemic. 

Oh what a cock of bullsh*t. The world went into full lockdown mode once Covid-19 made its way from China to the United States, Canada, Europe.... basically the entire world which lead everyone into a panic as people scrambled to stores and take all the stock of toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Don't even get me started on the lack of can food within March and April. I swear of you wanted a can of soup from your local grocery store, sorry pal, the store doesn't have any. It sucked.

Alright I've already mentioned that Trump did nothing when Covid-19 invited itself into the US and they are actually some people out there who say that Trumo did something. I hate to sound like a broken record but he didn't do jacksh*t.

"BuT hE StoPpED ThE FLigHTs FrOm ChINa" 

Yeah he did, but he didn't do it right away like in terms of the virus entering mainstream media in February. Even when he did stop flights from coming in and out between China and the US, it a little too slow, too late. The governors of each state had to do state lockdowns since Trump's party didn't do a single damn thing and yet, Trump claims that he controls the states when in reality he doesn't.

The governors and legislatures of each state have their own rules and they obviously care about the people who live in each state unlike Trump and his team of rich arseholes especially that dumb blonde chick who's the speaker of each meeting who lies out of her own arse. She honestly must be getting paid to lie because you need to pay a lot of money just to go up on stage with a straight face and empty head. 

Now before I talk about the next thing, I'm sure that everyone would agree that wearing a mask out in public despite hating them since they block out your breathing flow sometimes, but what if we're to tell you that in the United States, wearing a mask and not wearing mask is now a political thing. Yeah, you heard me right.

Apparently since Trump likes to downplay the virus he believes that you shouldn't be wearing a mask and saying that virus isn't much of a threat and it's not as bad as the flu. 

Oh shut the f**k up with that statement. 

Just like the flu, people can die from Covid-19 and In fact, Covid-19 is even worse than the flu since it attacks your respiratory system and goes for your lungs making it quite difficult to breathe. Trump, so far this year over a million people around the world died from this virus and it's not just the old people, there are actually people under their 60s that died. It's not a joke. To out it lightly, don't downplay and take the virus like it's nothing. 

Also to add to this, there are people in the ICU that are on ventilators who are struggling to breathe and yet, the people who believe a word from Trump, still say it's a hoax until they get it themselves which gives them this thought of: "oh sh*t, it's not a joke". 

Now the US has recently passed over the 330,000 death mark. All of these deaths could've been avoided if Trump and his lackeys would get off their high horses and send the pandemic team to China in November and December of 2019 along with cutting off flights. Sure there would still be a lot of deaths in the US, but at least it's better to not wait at the last minute. 

Even Trump himself revealed that he knew how deadly Covid was but he didn't want to cause panic. Well, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but people were already panicking when news about the virus was an issue. So good job on being aware I guess. God.....

Also Mitch McConnell, also known as Trump's poster boy, said that he realized that there was a pandemic team and they could've been used at anytime. Well yeah, no sh*t Sherlock. There was a pandemic team, but you brave cheeto of a leader fired them. I hate to say this but even through Nixon had a huge ego and pretty hated the media at the same levels as Trump, at least Nixon wouldn't let a deadly virus to get out of control. Trump makes Nixon look a god damn saint compared to him and that's pretty sad. 

Nixon's probably like this in afterlife: "I've did all these things such as being against the press and ended up residing due to my own party not putting up with my sh*t anything while this guy Trump is getting away with so much crap and not being charged of his actions? What the hell?" - Nixon, probably.

Ok but to the whole debate between wearing a mask and not wearing a mask. Thanks to Trump not shutting up, he made the US even more divided. Out of all the things to debate about, you choose masks. If you were to ask, well tell, a person to wear a mask they will get defensive stating that: "but you're taking away my rights". Yes, you do have rights. You have the right to be an absolute heartless, selfish prick who only cares about yourself and not the wellbeing of others. Sure you may not get the virus, but they is a high chance you might give it your grandma who is wayyyy up in her 80s and has several health problems. Oh and if she dies, it's your fault since you were the last person that she ever interacted with.

There is literally a rule where if you don't have a mask on while at a public place, you don't get service and you don't get to go in. It's basically the new no shirt, no shoes, no pants, no service and if you have a problem with that then, I'll put this in the most nicest way as possible: STAY THE F**K HOME. It's not that hard people. S-T-A-Y-H-O-M-E. Stay home! 

I swear that the whole wearing a mask vs don't wear a mask thing has become the new Pepsi vs Coca-Cola and to be honest with you, I actually like both Pepsi and Coca-Cola. 

The biggest thing that I learned in the year of 2020, is that if you dislike Trump and dislike the Confederate flag, you are a communist and you may be a psychopath. Who the....what the f**k is wrong with you people that actually say this? Seriously though what the actual f**k? Do you even know the definition of the word communist means? Do you even know anything about mental illnesses? Do you even know history? Well apparently not if you telling people this. 

Short history lesson: there was a civil war in the US between the Union and the Confederacy in the 1860s. Basically the Confederacy went against their own country in order to keep the slavery of black people in the form of treason. It was a long war filled with bloodshed and it ended when the Confederacy surrendered and afterwards with a series talking with each other, slavery has been abolished in the US. Years after the war, however, the Confederate flag went from a flag that represents the south to a flag that's a symbol of hate in a similar fashion to that of the nazi flag. It's also been called the rebel and loser flag. 

Annnnnd they are people in the south that actually say that the Confederate flag is their southern pride. It's not pride, it's a representation of treason to your own country and it's not a good thing. 

So back on disliking Trump, Trump told everyone that they should drink cleaning bleach in order to protect themselves from Covid. Also there was a doctor that just shook her head no many times going "oh hell no". The president of the United States is telling people to drink bleach, you know, in the same way as to the people who told to parents that have children with autism drink bleach would "cure" them with autism. That's like wanting to spread awareness that pollution is bad to the planet by throwing acid into the ocean and teaching people that murder is wrong by killing someone out on the street. 

There is a warning label on a bottle of bleach for a reason. The human stomach is not meant to consume bleach and in fact, it could literally poison you and kill you. Plus it burns and it smells. 

And I hate arguing with people especially those that have already pre-existing health conditions. My mom has a friend who has asthma and had surgery on her heart when she was a little girl. My mom also said that there were times during her college days where her friend forgot to bring her inhaler. To be truthful it's not a pleasant sight to see a person who has asthma struggling to breathe. Apparently my mom and her friend got into an argument where her friend believed that she can't get Covid when in reality, if she were to get it, she won't survive. So Kris or my mom is reading up to this part and Kris especially, I apologize for what I might say. How f**king dumb are you? You already have health conditions and if you were to get the virus, you'll be struggling to breathe. And I know you read from an article and actually listen to Trump and his idiotic friends. Seriously get your head out of your arse. Covid isn't a god damn joke. 

Back to the whole being a communist for hating Trump, you got to be the most dead brain and stupidest person the whole planet for saying that. How can you support a man who's divided an entire country, turned the economy and stock market of this year into hell in terms of numbers compared to those found in the Great Depression, had a group of peaceful protestors get spayed by tear gas to get to a church in order to hold a bible upside down that across the street, had rallies where nobody wore a mask that made the state with already high number of cases go shy high, downplayed a deadly virus that spread all over the world, doesn't give a single damn about anyone or have any morals for the human race, and worst of all pardons white supremacy groups.

Oh yeah, in late in May in which 2020 seemed to get better only for us to get slapped in the face, when an officer stood on the neck of George Floyd which cut of his airflow in eight minutes resulting in his death. This caused outrage in the state of Minnesota which lead to protests, but there were rioters that went through Lake Street and burned down businesses. Throughout the summer, protest and riots continued all over the US in order. Plus the case of Breonna Tyler was brought up again after her tragic death to fatal gun shot wounds. Now I'm just going to say this once, but I never really talk about racism in any of my year end reviews yet alone talk about outside of them since it's a touchy subject. But I'm not against BLM nor the idea of fighting for equal rights especially when a race has been oppressed for centuries. 

It also important for me to say that the world that we all live in is a hell where death is always close by. In order to combat any negative feelings and hopelessness, you'll need determination, strength, courage, knowledge, and the will the survive.

Also it's worth pointing out that, when top authority figures in Minnesota were reviewing the police footage that plays out the events of George Floyd before and after his death, the leading person said that he died of an overdose. Umm.....excuse me Mr. authority person, but uh....how do you even function!? 

The only good thing about this year was that Trump got Covid in October. Unfortunately this doesn't last long since he was given the good drugs which made him high as a kite. Yeah....now that you know this, you probably realize that the US healthcare system is clearly broken in terms of who gets the most treatment. If you can afford to get the good stuff, you're gucci and if not, too bad. Trump felt so good that he was ready for the November elections and the presidential debate against Joe Biden in which he makes himself like a complete buffoon. At least the debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris wasn't god awful to watch. 

However, everyone at this point was sick and tired of Trump inconsistent bs, that he lost the election and he is still trying to convince people that the election was rigged and that mail in votes are fraud. You know, before Trump became the president, he actually voted by mail. Oh this smells of hypocrisy because that what it is technically. Unfortunately Trump by claiming that the election was rigged, it's not working and you're just making yourself even worse than what you already are.

Also I would like to take the moment to say f**k you to North Carolina governor Thom Tillis for getting a new bill for copyright and the DMCA to put streamers and content creators who put copyrighted music into their content in jail. F**k off with that and f**k copyright holders. They don't provide the artist protection and only care about money. If I were in control of this, I will tell WMG (Warner Music Group) to go f**k themselves and actually pay the artist directly and give them exposure if they new or an old artist. Plus I would rewrite the DMCA and copyright laws to the point where there aren't so brutal. 

I swear that there needs to be fresh young blood in power since they know what the internet and media is like just so they get rid of the old ultra boomers out of office. There should also be an age limit or a number of terms for those that that are either governors, state representatives, and those that are in the seats in the congress. Trust me there are actually people in the US senate that are in their 80s and are there for life to the point where they might have no clue on what they're doing. 

And last and not least, we got the most controversial things to have ever happened in 2020 and that would Netflix's Cuties and it's a film that showcases minors that are under the age of consent being sexualized and are dressed up as...as....uh....the word that is used for a stripper and those that do some sexual dance performances. I don't want to say it. 

This movie was released in September but it blew up on Twitter once the poster was revealed and the name of sweet baby Jesus, it's the most disgusting thing that I've seen in my entire life and it's the reason why the world no is a thing. This movie shows cp and the person who made it was ok with it along the heads of Netflix. Why? Just why? 

Many people with defend the person who created the film because she's black, but I'll just say that no matter what race, sex, religion, or what your favorite flavor of ice cream is, it's not ok to force child to pose in sexual poses and be ok with pedophila. 

I actually cancelled my Netflix subscription after watching Beastars and researching both JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and The Office. However, I had to renew it in order to watch season three of Aggrestuko...yeah....I didn't want to miss it. But in all seriousness, there are people out there that defend this movie and plus the critics that say that Cuties is a great film don't deserve to be called critics.

And you know what, forget this year. I'm glad that this year is reaching its end and I'm glad that 2021 is coming. I hope it's a good year and I know I shouldn't be saying that out of the fear that 2021 may be worse.

Anyway thanks for making it this far and see you next year.

2020: I did it. I actually crushed Lbat1901 with an oil tanker. Ha! This proves that no one can surpass 2020! Puny mortals, I shall rule you all! Ten seconds have passed! Now my ability to stop time has reached ten seconds! 

*laughs evilly* 

Now, then...I guess I should Lbat1901's lifeless body and drink their blood. If there's anything left! 

*suddenly out of nowhere, 2020 hears a click sound before jumping off of the oil tanker as it explodes. However, the explosion hurts 2020 as they land to the ground hard* 

2020: What the hell was that? Was that a click and how did the oil tanker explode? 

*suddenly time stops as 2020 can't move* 

2020: Wh-What? My body..... I can't move at all! It can't be I made time resumed. What's going on? 

*out of the flames of the destroyed oil tanker comes out Lbat1901 with Star Platinum behind them as the two approach 2020* 

Lbat1901(me): 2020! It's been a good 30 seconds and it would seem that you forgotten how to count

2020: NANI!? 

Lbat1901(me): While you were yanking about your "victory" over me, I've stopped time at the nine second mark which allowed me to escape. Oh and I had Star Platinum touch the oil tanker for its new ability known as Bites The Dust. Oh and uh, time flows again

*time resumes as 2020 regains their balance* 

2020: Unbelievable. You've managed to get in control of stopping time. How and where did you learn it? 

Lbat1901(me): Oh I learned it from DIO 

2020: DIO.....of course it had to be him. You're a clever one Lbat1901 but unfortunately, you're still going to die by my hand

Lbat1901(me): You know what? I was going to let you walk away if you give up, but I guess not

2020: Enough talk, prepare to die! 

Covid-19: MUDA! 

Star Platinum: ORA! 

*the two Stands attacked as Star Platinum made a blow to Covid-19's leg* 

2020: Ehehe... it would that- what the...? 

*before 2020 could finish their sentence, they were interrupted by the sounds of cracking. It turns out that the punch from Star Platinum managed to cause a crack in Covid-19's leg which resulted in Covid-19 breaking apart along with 2020* 

2020: WHAT!? No! That's impossible....how could I lose!? How could I lose!? I......KONO 2020 DA!!! 

*eventually 2020's entire body gets obliterated as it collapses onto the ground* 

Lbat1901(me): Hey 2020, do you want to know how you lost? It's because you really pissed me off. Also yare yare daze

[Note: I had this planned after seeing The End and spending a lot of time in the fandom mostly fanfics.

I would like to say that I don't hate Tord as a character, I only despise his Legacy counterpart and I would also like to apologize to those who like Legacy Tord beforehand since I kinda got heated during this rant

Also please ignore the opening skit to this]

___________________________________________________________________________________________

[Drums rolls] 

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. After a long hiatus and the beginning of a supposed season 3, I welcome back to you on the Internet today.....

......Lbat1901!!!! 

[Audience claps]

Now Lbat, do you mind telling us how are you feeling? 

Lbat1901(me): *screams internally inside* 

Are you ready for your comeback? 

Lbat1901(me): You sure bet I am! 

Are you sure? 

Lbat1901(me): YAS! 

That's great! Here's how it starts. 

[A tablet gets thrown at Lbat's face, but Lbat manages to catch in time. The tablet shows Tord in his giant robot facing the camera with an evil smile] 

Lbat1901(me): What is this? Are you playing games with me? Do I....Do I look a like a fool to you? Huh? Do I? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello wonderful people, Lbat1901's back. Yayyyyyyyy.....

Welcome back they say. Welcome back. I haven't gotten a warm welcome back after since I came back from doing that 2018 review and I began writing that thing since the early spring and late summer of 2018. Technically my last entry was the controversy surrounding the halftime show for Super Bowl 53 and I don't care about football at all. 

Originally after like two weeks since the first episode for Developer's Round Tape, I was going to do the top 5 episodes to Eddsworld, but I guess that's going to be delayed for awhile since I'm doing this. So instead of having a top 5 list, I'm doing a rant for the first episode to Channel 7 Lucky Hour. 

Oh so much joy I know. 

Enough dragging our sticks in the mud, let's get right into it shall we. 

As you may already know, Eddsworld has been around for over a decade and there is no excuse of having a great cast of characters for those many years. Today we will be talking about everybody's favorite character of them all: Tord. 

Everyone should know about Tord. He's the trigger happy, gun wielding, hentai loving, hater of the song Sunshine and Lollipops Norwegian character with the red hoodie (well black jacket as in the earlier days of the Newground era) and the devil horns. Did I mention that he's a communist as well? 

Back in the early Eddisodes, Tord was portrayed as a character who's happy and yet quiet. He also hated Tom, but despite this, he became a lovable character. I mean he was so lovable that he was the most popular character out of the main four being Edd, Tom, and Matt. 

Even though Tord had a lot of fame in the series, there were a couple of things that became a little...intense. This brings up the fact that fanboys and the fangirls who were overly obsessed with Tord decided to stalk the real life Tord. It was so bad, that the real Tord told Edd to get rid of his character completely which gave us the Eddisode, 25ft Under the Seat where we see Tord leave. Now you would think that this would get rid of the problem, but it didn't. The fans would harass Tord on all of his social media accounts leading him delete himself from the Internet completely. 

All of this happened in 2008. It wasn't till in 2012, where Tord comes back with a video on YouTube shortly after Edd's passing. He talked about why he left and to be honest, I don't blame him. I mean I would exactly do the same thing that he'll do, because I don't want to be stalked by fans especially if their girls. Why? Because that's just wrong and creepy. Plus it's like really disturbing. Tord's reasoing why he left were understandable, but the fans....they were pissed. They were so pissed off at what Tord had to say which made him disappear from the face of the web. 

So in conclusion never take your love on a character too far or else you get these mistakes like this one. At least Tord's okay now, right? He deserves a break from all of the crap that he had to deal with. Also I'm pretty much blaming those obsessed fans for this. It's their fault not mine. Pretty much after Tord's departure, Eddsworld kept going. It wasn't until 2016, where The End was released. Oh my god...at first I was excited to see both parts, but it only gotten better when Tord was confirmed to make a return and that got me happy. Four years after Tord left, he was finally returning just for the last two Eddisodes for Legacy. And boy, it sure was something. 

First off seeing Tord in the Legacy artstyle was great. The lead up for Tord's return was also great. The only problem was that...Tord changed a bit too much. Sure seeing Tord again was alright and he did kept his happy trait, but there was one tiny issue. Tord talked way too much. Look it's not a problem at all and I can see why Tord would be talking. I mean it has been years since he has seen Edd, Matt, and Tom. I am aware that he had a million questions, but here's the thing, Tord was always quiet. 

I know that this may be a small nitpick but....remember when I said that Tord hates Tom? Well in The End this was taken to the extreme. Sure the hatred is reasonable but it was taken way too far. Another thing is that Tord became cunning. Don't believe me? Well explain to me why he was seen laughing evilly about to press a red button then. That's not the Tord that I know.

Okay, okay, you The Enders may hate me for disliking the new and improved Tord, but in order to prove that I as a veteran Eddhead, I have decided to look at The End with a fresh pair of eyes.....after three years later. Yeah...I've only watched it once and never again for some reason. Well whatever the case, I'll watch it again. Spoiler alert: I don't think my thoughts and feelings are going to change when I first watched it after those so many years. 

I'll be right back ya'll. 

[20 minutes later...]

N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶E̶n̶d̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶.̶

So...I just got back from watching both parts and...I know exactly why I didn't watch them after the first time. The first time i was watching them would be for my list of the best Eddisodes and somebody told me about The End. I wish I haven't seen both parts. I know for a fact that there is no such thing as bad Eddisodes, because they're all amazing, but The End....it totally ruined Legacy for me as a whole. Well not completely, there are good Eddisodes that came out of it but The End doesn't deserve my time. Do you want to know I think of both parts? Part 1 was "meh" and part 2, you can forget about part 2, it was nothing but a train wreck of mediocrity. 

The End has truly ruined the character of Tord. It made him look like a villain and all of us know that Tord was never evil to begin with. But you need to look at the demographics. There are new fans coming in each and every passing hour and minute a day. Most of these fans are kids and most of them had never watched the older Eddisodes of Eddworld. Those older Eddisodes had Tord in them, but are they caring? No they aren't. Instead they're watching Legacy where Tord is portrayed as a bad guy. And that really breaks my heart. I'm not even joking when I say this. 

What's even worse is that the entire Red Army is seen as villains all because Tord has some connection to them. Sure it may have brought some good AUs, such as the Red Army AU, Crisis AU, and yes even Future AU, but at the same time, it's not right. Yes, the fanart looks amazing, but this is not how some fans see the Red Army as. 

Now it's time for me to go on about the next thing. You all know about TBATF (The Beginning and the Friend) right? I do admit that the writing is great, the premise is great, the people who created it are great. But do you want to know how it can be better? Do you really want to know? Come closer and I'll tell you. Just a little more and there you go. TBATF could be a lot better if Tord and the Red Army weren't in it. You heard me right. Sure Tord being in the fancomic is fine, but how he's portrayed in it....I don't like it. Not at all. I also would like to admit that his outfit (in later chapters) and appearance in it looks cool, but it just pains me to see him like this. It's even painful when I read the parts that he's in. 

So to end this rant off, I like Classic Tord way better than Legacy Tord. Sure seeing Tord in Legacy was a blast, but you will see where the improvements stop once you go deeper into The End as a whole. If someone were to join in the Eddsworld fandom and doesn't have a clue on where to begin with the Eddisodes, I would tell them to start off by watching the Newgrounds era and work their way up, but I won't tell them to watch The End at all. Oh and uh...I do write Tord into my Eddsworld related stories but I always get comments from people who ask me when I'm going to make a story where Tord's evil. Well that isn't going to happen anytime soon. The only story I have was The Real Reason Why and it had Tord in it, but he rarely gets any spotlight. 

This is Lbat1901 signing out for the first episode to Channel 7 Lucky Hour and I would like to point out that I don't hate Tord at all, i just hated how much he changed after since Legacy ended. It's uncertain if Tord is coming back in future Eddisodes or not, but if he were to come back, I hope he's not evil and if he will be, then I would be so sad yet angry. That's why I'm being the leader of this: #maketordgoodagain or to simply it: #letsmaketordnotevil 

Also quick shoutout to archonedd for reminding me how much I despise The End and encouraging me to make this rant. This topic has been burning a hole in my chest for far too long, now it's all out. 

And oh, can we have the next five minutes about talking about The End is the most popular Eddisode out there. Guess what? It isn't. You can fight me out on the streets. But seriously, every time when I search up Eddsworld onto YouTube, every single time, The End is the top result right under the official Eddsworld YouTube channel. I hate it so much. Fun Dead should be the top result *coughsWTFutureactuallycoughs* not The End. 

Okay that should be enough for today, 

Goodbye everyone.

[Note: This right here was my first Eddsworld based commentary to have been released to the public. I started to share my thoughts of the fandom when Legacy was around. Of course none of them saw the light of day since well, at the time, I was reviewing Eddsworld fanfics and let's just saw I was going through an edgy unstable phase.

Also they weren't all the good. Anyway for this list, I wrote this in 2018 and I didn't make an intro, so it just kinda starts off in a way. All you need to know is that what is mentioned in the list is my opinion]

__________________________________________________________________________________________

#5. Zombeh Attack 

I'm starting this list off by going back in time to the year 2005. Zombeh Attack was the first series of Eddisodes trilogies and it still holds that title as of today. The first part was released on October 4th 2005 on Newgrounds. It became so successful that the other parts were later released on May 6th 2005 and on April 28th 2007 respectively. The first two parts were released onto YouTube in 2007 but both of them were removed due to YouTube's Copyright Infringement. Oh YouTube and your Copyright Infringement. All three parts were later uploaded in 2015, so you can watch them in order anytime you want. Anyway....Zombeh Attack was heavily inspired by The Evil Dead and Shaun of the Dead which are zombie films. Let's be honest here, I really like zombie films and zombies, so when I saw Zombeh Attack having zombies in it I was giddy. Sure someone will tell me that the animation may be bad in today's standards but this is how Eddsworld started and this how Eddsworld came to be as a whole. Also it's worth noting that this was the first time we saw Zombeh Matt and Zombeh Tord. With that in mind we did get fanart for these two a lot. Plus it's also worth mentioning that Matt played the antagonist role, which was amazing. And one more thing, Matt was given a voice in this as well. The current number of views for Zombeh Attack (if combining all three parts) is at 556,865 views on Newground. 

#4. Saloonatics 

I have always had an interest and fascination for the good old days of the Wild West, mostly known as the Gold Rush era. I've wished for one Eddisode where it takes place in a western town filled with cowboys and all of that adventure and what do you know, I got my wish. Oh my god, it was the best thing that could ever happen to me in my whole entire life. Saloonatics was that Eddisode that took place in the late 1800s, where America was doing western expansion filled with the things that you might see in a western based film. It had cowboys, sheriffs, bandits, and it even had a prince from England. It was first released into YouTube on February 12th 2016. I really liked how Edd, Tom, and Matt had ancestors along with Eduardo, Jon, and Mark. We had Edward Gold, Sheriff Thompson, Prince Matthew, Juan, Marco, and of course Eduardo's ancestor shares the same name as him. Interestingly enough, it was the first Eddisode that talks about the past. The current number of views for Saloonatics is currently over 8 million views on YouTube. 

#3. Hammer & Fail 

Do you want to hear a really good idea for a Eddisode? We should have Edd, Matt, and Tom become builders. Yeah that's a great idea, I know. Let's go make it happen. do it. Oh look, I have another Eddisode taking a slot on this list that has multiple parts (well two to be exact). Hammer & Fail Part 1 was first released September 10th 2010 and Part 2 was released on July 23rd 2011 onto YouTube and Newground. Hammer & Fail is considered to be a fan favorite, I mean just look at it, it's great. It's worth noting that this where Eduardo, Jon, and Mark made their debut and it sure holds up well. Also uh...this is where I created the #jonprotectionsquad because well....Jon got punched in the face. Of course who could forget about that building montage scene? I certainly didn't. The current number of views for Part 1 is over 9 million views while Part 2 is currently over 7 million views. Now if you were to combine both parts with their respective number of views on YouTube, you will get a number that's over 17 million views. 

#2 Fun Dead

Another Eddisode that features zombies? Sign me up! You do realize that this list wouldn't been official if I haven't included Fun Dead, right? Fun Dead is the first Eddisode in the series to get its own name thought up from the fans itself. Of course it took awhile for it to be made but in the end we got another zombie related Eddisode. Fun Dead was released on February 28th 2014 on YouTube. What can I say about this one? The premise was amazing! We had a cool opening intro for the credits along with a really good soundtrack. I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up about Fun Dead before or not, but when Edd, Matt, and Tom took the time to go to an amusement park only to notice that there they surrounded by zombies the whole entire time, that it reminded me a lot of the one scene from Zombieland where two members of the group of main characters go into this abandoned amusement park before getting attacked by zombies. It really seemed familiar to that. No? Just me? Ah well, I still loved it anyway, but enough to overcome the fina, entry on this list. Fun Dead currently holds the record high of being the most popular video on the official Eddsworld YouTube channel with a total that's over 31 million views. 

Before we go onto the #1 spot, it's time for honorable mentions. Let's be fair here these were the Eddisodes that could've been on the list, but only barely. However they are still important and are fan favorites. They're not in any specific order whatsoever.

#1. WTFuture 

Oh man....where do I even begin with this one? I guess I can start with the fact that this is the first Eddisode to be released in the year of 2010. WTFuture was released on February 13th 2010 on both YouTube and Newground. Along with it came this awesome looking movie themed poster that features the futuristic version of Edd wearing black jacket while holding a cool looking laser pistol. Plus he has facial hair and dark bags under (well around) his eyes. Just look at this poster, it really looks like that if would be something that you would see in a movie theater. If it was released in actual movie threatens around the world, I would of gotten my ticket first and be the first in line. I even would of wasted my money just to see it over and over again during its opening week. That's how much I care about WTFuture. It's so great! The soundtrack is great! The premise is great! The writing is....this is Eddsworld we're talking about here, of course its great. The future trio, these futuristic versions of Edd, Matt, and Tom are so awesome! Oh my god. Oh I forgot to mention this, but WTFuture was heavily inspired by the Terminator series. Plus in an extra scene Future Edd is seen talking Arnold Schwarzenegger. Freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger. Is this even real life right now? Oh....don't me started on that scene where Future Edd puts on sunglasses, Terminator style. 

I need- I need to calm down for a minute. Too much excitement. Okay, I'm find now at least. So...anyway, WTFuture is Edd's hardest yet his favorite animation, and boy does it show it. It's certainly a masterpiece. My only complaint is that time traveling and what the future is like wasn't really explored, but that's a just a small issue. If WTFuture were to have a sequel in the future or have one in development, I want a scene or an explanation as to why cola got outlawed. I want that to happen, because we don't know why or how cola got banned in the first place. Oh yeah, WTFuture has a lot of amazing fan art; however, it's mainly Future Tom who gets the most attention. I have nothing against Future Tom, but Future Matt rarely gets anything plus Future Edd is like the star of the show. I mean just look at the poster, he's literally on it. So why doesn't he get any more fan art? He's Future Edd for crying out loud. Okaaaayyy, I got a little sidetracked there. My apologies.

Anyway.....WTFuture is currently at over 11 million views just 20 million views behind Fun Dead, but nevertheless, WTFuture is number one on this list by default. 

Thank you so much for making it to the end. I hoped you enjoyed my list. Now if you would, can you please donate to the Make A Wish Foundation? If you were to send in money, you are giving Future Edd a can of cola because he needs it since he's a sad boy. He need some cola. 

This is Lbat1901 signing off. See ya next time

I bet nobody was expecting another episode to be released this year especially when it's released three months after Fan Service 2, but here we are.

*coughs*

Sorry about that I had somethingin my throat.

Anyway.... Hello there everyone and welcome to another Eddsworld episode review. I'm Lbat1901 and I'll be your host. In today's review we will be taking a look at Casting Calls to see what it bought to the table.

The episode gives us an inside view of the many voice actors for the characters in Eddsworld. The voice actors are auditioning for the roles that they want as Edd, Tom, and Matt give out their opinions. In full honesty, this episode gives me fourth wall break vibes but mostly creation meets creator vibes.

Anywho, the first audition has Jamie Spicer-Lewis who wants to audition for the role of Matt. For the people who don't know, Jamie was one of the five actors who auditioned for the role of Edd during the time of Legacy. The role was given to Tim Hautekiet. Jamie's known roles are Commander Bai, Bartender Todd, and Tord (The End). Speaking of the role of Matt, irl Matt wasn't too happy with it and begins arguing with his animated counterpart who tells him that he's fired. Irl Matt counters this by saying "You can't fire me. I quit" before leaving the room.

Christopher Bingham also known as Bing, you know, the guy who voices his character Evil Director or Evil Producer (if you want to get technical) is next person to audition. He tries to get the role of Tom but gets rejected.

Next up is Rob Debleyker who shows up to audition while being covered in blood which Matt question but resulted in Edd and Tom not caring.

Afterwards we get to see an animated version of irl Edd's brother, George Gould that gets the voice role of Edd.

Dave McElfatrick makes an attempt for auditioning ft or the role of Tom; however, Matt tells him to make his lines clearer due to not being able to hear the lines because of his Irish accent. Dave repeats his lines before being extorted out of the room by security.

Next we get the best part of the episode where the two actors of Eduardo, Brock Baker and Chris O' Neill fought each other on who's the better actor. It eventually ends when Brock says "Soy numero uno".

After the argument, the auditions continue with Jonti Picking who does additional voices in the series; however, Matt makes him angry causing him to storm off.

We then get a glance at the animation team who all wanted to audition but Matt sprays them with a spray bottle before realizing that the animation team aren't busy animating the episode which caused the style to to turn into the 2004 style.

The last person to audition was a man named Carpert Not Matt and after saying a couple of lines, irl Matt comes in and confronts animated Matt who tell him that Not Matt was auditioning for the role of Matt. Irl Matt then reveals it himself that he was in disguise and proves it by removing the fake nose moustache which resulted in everyone applauding him.

This doesn't last long as Ell, Tamara, and Matilda make a cameo appearance before the credits roll.

Halfway through the credits, Diwi and Mike make an appearance and were given roles with Diwi voicing Edd for the German dub of the series.

And that should do it for this review. Thank you for making it this far and I'll see again when a new episode is released.

See ya

{Edit 28/10/20: I actually talked to DA to give me a clear explanation as to why Rantception Ep1 got taken down. Apparently DA claims that it was both hate speech and harassment. Sure I did call Prince an arsehole and d*ck which was pretty mean, but I was not straight up harassing her. The only person that did was Squirp but in more of a ranting style.

Lesson learned from this is that I will be posting a disclaimer for those that plan on doing a witch hunt at the beginning of all of my Rantception episodes}

*sighs* ...2020 sure gets worse and worse........

Yeah uh, hello and good afternoon or evening(?) everyone. It's currently passed 1am and I am tired.

And yes by the title, the first episode to Rantception has been taken down. Yes, it was the one that was about princeofmints.

I was about to go to sleep till a notification came up coming from DA. Of course believing that it was a fave or a comment, I looked at and boooooooy I kinda wish I didn't.

Turns out that it was a note from the DA staff and I thought it was them responding to my Eclipse rants, but no, it had to be about Rantception Ep1.

DA apparently didn't read the disclaimer nor the edit note at the very beginning.

Despite obeying the site guidelines like the 10 Commandments, DA saw Rantception Ep1 as hate speech even though I was calling out Prince's actions which she later apologized for and I ended up forgiving her since we all say and do stupid things at times.

DA even told me that it was a little political even though they said nothing about for a span of three months.

*sneezes*

Oh sorry DA staff, but I am little allergic to bullsh*t.

So your telling me that Rantception Ep1 was taken down because it was hate speech to a user who've apologized for their actions and it was political? Look I get that the US elections are a within a couple of days, but seriously?

Rantception as a series doesn't contain political content. Sure it does go over bad things happening within in the Eddsworld fandom, but you need to understand that Eddsworld as a whole isn't political nor hate speech.

They are completely different things. Oh DA staff how much have you been smoking lately?

Anyway that should do it for this mini Rantception episode even though I speculate that someone reported it. To whomever reported it: why? Can you not read disclaimers? Do you know what a diaclaimer is yet alone a edited note?

Also if you believe that Rantception ep1 is gone forever think again because I've also published it on Newgrounds: https://lbat1901.newgrounds.com/news/post/1105167

See you in the next episode of Rantception
