Realised why I think Alan Becker's AvM stands out from other similar (i.e. any stickman plus game animation). I mean. Outside of the amazing animation and storytelling of Alan Becker, there was something else that stood out to me as different from them and I've finally figured it out.

In a lot of animations, things happen to the characters, while in AvM the characters are the ones doing something.

Let me explain that:

In other animations, the stick figures are put in a situation. They don't discover whatever game, they just get tossed into it and have to figure out the mechanics by trial and error. Like. I'm currently thinking of a terraria series, the episodes are more along the lines of "they're chilling and then something attacks them"

Now compare this to AvM. Sure things are happening to them, but that's because the characters are actively seeking them out. Like in ep6, Command Blocks, bad things happen, but it's because Yellow was curious about what else minecraft had to offer rather than things just started happening. Then, for the season 1 "finale" (aka the episodes with a connecting story), they could have very easily had none of that happen! When Blue and Green found that portal it would not have been hard to just destroy it and carry on! But they were curious, and this led them to discovering the Nether, meeting Purple, and going to the End. And this is the same with season 3! The whole thing started because Blue wanted more Nether warts, and so went and did something!

I could probably give some more examples of people want, but I feel like this is long enough already lmao. Also idk if any of this makes sense words are hard lmao

#i just. had the realisation and wanted to say something lmao #actually making me think again is the an ava discord? apart from the avg one? #anyway off topic #if ppl want me to give more examples or elaborate more i probs can #i dont have any examples of other series' bc i am in public rn and am not just gonna start watching some to give examples #could probs look for some later again if ppl want #yea #also again with the ava discord i am getting off track #id be. ig i could probably set something lowkey up? #but i am so bad at moderating and also picking mods so #if someone has experience for a more public fan server thatd be vv cool #i am down to help out with that #ye 👍 #|| #fall speaks #ava #avm #animation vs minecraft #animation vs animator #alan becker
