The Lizard Slayer - Starter Squad (Ep.9)

long ago our people lived in a lush green forest the trees stretched on for miles and miles and behind every branch a predator lied in wait the world was as dangerous as it was large berries by banding together we overcame our struggles and together we survived until one day a terrible beast emerged from beyond the forest but demon more fierce anything we witnessed and whatever it was it wanted us dead called it the lizard lizard' decimated everything scouring forests with an unquenchable bloodlust countless victims were burned alive by its fiery breath skewed with shards of wood their heads ripped off and used to make decorative hats for pets seeing the lizard was destined to destroy us all but amid the flames of destruction a hero rose from the ashes a hero known as hats for pets really decorative hats for pets stop interrupting not only does the wizard have pets but you're saying he decorates them using severed heads maybe it's a metaphor it's just a trivial detail that doesn't meet we're changing it if we have to memorize this I'm not saying that part oh we have to memorize this can we please start over I wasn't paying attention fine with no interruptions long ago our people live today oh hi sorry for breaking into your house I was I was digging what are these called again I think it was Andrew or something today's your lucky day Andrew welcome to the Caterpie army oh thanks but I'm not really looking to enjoy it did you say army is that no way no wait then that means [Applause] the trainer where we taking turns never regretted it whereas squirtle I know you Forbes have him oh hey great teamwork guys thanks a lot sorry I still wasn't sure what side I was supposed to be on Oh join our side can we keep him Charmander fine what was your name again sand true but I don't actually want to I think his name should be durdle because he's like squirtle but with dirt Oh at least Andrew sounded like an actual cherry durdle you're with us now oh so you're just going to ignore me then pretty much you got any attacks well I suppose I have sand attack yeah that could work where does the sand come out of it's it's a little bit more limited than that uh-uh more of a support technical than anything else uh-huh let's keep moving you're my best friend now Oh huh so I'm guessing they aren't big fans of yours the worms are my sworn enemies after they took squirtle from me I've vowed to kill as many as I have to to get him back and they've already vowed to kill me because I've been eating them or whatever ah why am I not in any of these drawings and apparently they think I'm stupid enough to fall for their crude traps well you do have to admire the craftsmanship though yeah that does look exactly like him whoa that looks exactly like I float get out of there so I guess squirtle must be pretty important then have you ever had a friend before that's kind of a mean question I used to think I didn't need any then I lost one one that was willing to help me no matter what I will do anything to get squirtle back even if it means risking all three of our lives boy that's reassuring I'm all wet besides this is the best trap they can come up with we'll be fine it's fine it's fine stay focused Hey follow that worm damn it turtle can you dig through this tab no change of plans for capturing them well they're brought especially that's so-called our leader and when I catch the lizard they'll be answering to me turtle you stand attack now we don't need them feel free we're catching him I need him alive so you never mind it's not worth it I feel like we're doing pretty well where is it worth it haha here we go no not you baby what made you change your mind return return come back now that's the lizard he's a lot shorter than I expected

only one way to do this kill him [Music] something wrong I don't know I mean I chose to be here right now but do I actually have the ability to choose if I'm making decisions based on personal experience then I'm just seeking the optimal choice based on previous trial and error results for my life I think my choices might just have been the product of how I've been previously conditioned to choose what do you think I'm hungry you're right let's get lunch I still can't believe yellow got us a cow I can't believe you so delicious and high in fiber oh man I'm not sure I enjoy being food is

This was a huge labor of love that took me almost two years, working with many other artists, actors, animators, etc. Please let me know what you think!

Also, if you haven't seen the first eight episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPyPsGJ8UK8

I was not expecting this to be as dramatic as it was. The ending actually got a vocal "holy fuck" from me.

[u/The_Hermit_Spycrab]

The end makes Squirtle seem kind of... unlikeable? He was always a voice of reason, but now that Charmander's grown a lot and been pummeled and beaten to get his friend back, he's just waterboarding the poor lizard instead of letting him say anything. It's just very unsatisfying to watch the one thing Charmander's wanted for multiple episodes to be right in front of him after such an arduous journey... and then said thing decides to basically kill him because of a contrived misunderstanding. Considering this is the taste that will be left in our mouths for what very well could be over a year, I'm kinda disappointed.

Sorry if that was a bit negative. The rest of the episode was fantastic.

I so want a lyric video of that Geodude song. My favorite part of the video.

[u/Fytoz]

Eh hehehe, I float!

im dying! great work

[u/goatsanddragons]

The Geodude and Golem part was freaking incredible.

[u/glovelilyox]

Damn. I never would have imagined that the reunion with squirtle would have been so... agonizing.

[u/SnowGN]

Hey, this was fucking incredible. The Geodude fight is, I'm not gonna lie, one of the best fight scenes I've seen in anime period. Mostly because of the fucking beyond amazing incorporation of the soundtrack! That was amazing! It was godlike! How did you even come up with the idea and pull off lipsyncing a piece of fight music into the movie! That was incredible!

......what song was it?!

[u/Altaria181]

Can't wait for the next one!
