    Raise your hand if you're new to tma and avoided this video until the final season to not be spoiled, and then learned you could've seen it since you were at 101

    Someone help Nikola, she needs a loan to pay her cab fee

    I'm going to print this out frame by frame and eat it I love it so much
  • @liolokk5248
    for some reason human michael at 2:03 makes me so sad :( really brings home the point that he once was just a person lost in the corridor just like helen
  • @lottie1316
    'In a web of lies' Ho dang. This song got even more relevant.
  • @Manicies
    I honestly think one of the coolest things I've noticed is how different their hair is when they're Distortion VS when they're Michael or Helen. Even when michael is pretending to be a human to lure Helen into the door, his hair looks normal, but as soon as the guise is dropped it gets very stylised and has those cool blocky loops. And once Helen takes over right at the end, her hair does the same thing. It's an AWESOME detail!
  • @chespresso
    Took me a couple watches to realize the guy at 2:03 isn't Michael (Distortion), but Michael Shelley. Poor guy just wanted to save the world for his work grandma :(
  • Okay-- but this is EXACTLY how i imagined helen. Profesional skirt? Tie? Clipboard? Hair band, darkish curly hair, orangey eyes? What. The. Hell. Are you an avatar of the eye because i think you just read my mind
  • @mochigreen8687
    God I didn't notice this before, but at 0:54 her eyes are target shaped, perfect circles. Before she Becomes but after she's spiral marked at 1:55, her eyes turn into legitimate spirals like Micheal's. What amazing attention to detail.
  • @Catsafari25
    I love the way the eyes are done. Like how we never really see normal people's eyes (even Helen's eyes are marked as being singled out by the Distortion, starting with small orange spirals and then growing as she gets further lost) and the different glowing styles of the different avatars. (Also gotta love how TMA artists are always so good with keeping the worm scars from S1; it's just such a nice little detail!)

    i’ve watched this on loop and keep getting the chills from “takes the devil’s heart a n d e a t s s o m e m o r e”
  • @peachypauper
    I love how at the end before Helen replaces michael, when the door is open and we don't see her face for a moment. It's like, for a few seconds you can easily mistake the back of michaels head with his hair as some sort of dress before registering whats happening. Like he's just another outfit that will be tossed aside for the business suit that 'Helen' wears. Unintentional and probably over analysing it, but I thought that bit was neat like the rest of this mv!!!
  • @tinydancer6767
    bruh this song is literally MADE for tma, the lyrics are nonsense and yet they fit so perfectly it's insane. THE ART IS LITERALLY GORGEOUS the design for every character is perfect and the expressions UGH and how Michael and helen change when they become the distortion - you are actually my favourite person thank you for your service
  • someones probably already said it but i love how micheal is wearing a winter coat, and how you put spirals in the insulation
  • @moony8760
    2:06 michael looking so lost and holding a map in what is/should be his own domain breaks into my home and shoots me in the chest 3 times everytime i see it
  • @MeowHearts
    oh my god?? this is so insanely good?? the symbolism?? the character design?? JON’S character design?? aaaaah just amazing- I can’t express how much I love this.
  • @lunammoon8503
    how did people discover new music before artists started to make animatics to songs I'll never know,
  • @fenixh2945
    POGGERS THIS IS AMAZING. HELEN SUPREMACY
  • @fatoush977
    This is absolutely PEREFCT. The MV is well done and the song fits so well to the Distortion vibes. This is WONDERFUL
  • Holy shit. Sidenote: I have watched this at least ten times over already. Cannot comprehend how much effort and love must have gone into this animatic. I love every frame Helen is on-screen. Michael looks like the little bastard he is.
