I think that is the staff he uses in dragon hearted to control the dragon

Complicated booby traps: check Hidden bunker: check just wants to protect their stuff: check you heard it here first folks, herobrine is mumbo jumbo

So much of Herobrine lore can just be explained as "a guy who's just doing his own thing and wants to be left alone" and honestly I can relate.

One thing I'd like to note, the King's son didn't kill Herobrine for his dad's sake, he killed Herobrine in a quest for revenge after the giant Zombie Piglin killed the Villager that raised him, because he believed that Herobrine was the one who sent the Piglins to the Village he was in.

"Herobrine is the good guy" Bro really destroyed an entire kingdom just to retrieve his precious little staff, while also having a literal hell pit full of skulk tentacles underneath his flaming castle. 🗿💀

i love that every installation of this series just does more to cement the king as a villain

The fact they call "take back the night" "revenge" makes me a little sad inside.

"...Unless his horse is actually Jesus" my favourite quote now

Something I didn’t hear mentioned: the king blocks an arrow with the sword, which was removed from Java in 1.9, never implemented in Bedrock, and in or absent from Legacy Console depending on which console you’re playing on. And blocking an arrow with the sword didn’t completely block the damage.

Can we get the CaptainSparklez, ZloyXP, and Pixelriffs talk episode where they all discuss the behind the scenes

I think that after the king left, Herobrine must have rebuilt the insides of his castle a little, using what he had on hand, which would explain why there are slightly different blocks in the floor when the king's son came there many years later.

Isn't this the staff he uses in the last video to beguile the ender dragon? The power to beguile mobs as a basis of power for building a kingdom is actually kind of solid. Would explain why the kingdom had mobs imprisoned in the first place, and how they managed to capture creepers withouth them exploding.

I think everyone should agree that it takes balls to go back to your arguably greatest work and make the heroes the bad guys

For the moment, the King seems to actually be in the wrong. But the prequel most likely will continue so we’ll see what will happen. I do wish they somehow do a continuation to Dragonhearted soon.

I believe that the king uses the staff to control the Ender dragon in Dragon Hearted.

So the king breaks into Herobrine's castle and steals artifacts for no apparent purpose? Sounds like normal monarch behaviour to be honest. (Though, one could conclude he used the staff to enthrall creatures and people to build his kingdom in record time. That might be a bit dark.)

Herobrine probably had a secondary goal in mind when he destroyed the King's kingdom. Obvious one is revenge but the king had shut down the End portal under his kingdom which Herobrine seem keen on finding, only to find it's closed off and can't get to the ender dragon. Since Herobrine originally had the scepter, he probably planned on using it to tame the ender dragon.

Well maybe, since Herobrine was doing those experiments, he was slowly building his plan to take over the world with his staff, and since it was taken and he was killed, and maybe the pigmen were instructed to proceed forward in revenge

I think the reason the floor in the castle is different is because herobrine has a tendency to rip his floor to shreds, as we saw in the second one. He literally doesn’t even check who comes to his place, he goes straight on the offensive and tears his castle apart right from the start. Floors probably didn’t last long here :P

I can’t believe you would diss my boy Sparklez like this, please keep it up, it’s very funny. (Better yet- get him on the show! He’s a sweet chap.)

7:39 maybe he did the typical villain thing. waited for the king to make his kingdom, for the king to have everything. only to then rip it all away. or something.

Kinda felt like you just made inflammatory remarks there so people would comment to get engagement but here I am so I guess it worked. First of all, nitpicking "that's not how MC worked" is just.. stupid lmao there's no point. If you were doing an actual video comparison on how accurate it is cinemasins style, you would have gotten all of them, but you didn't, so really all you wanted to do was complain about things that are there for cinematic effect. Then you somehow come to the conclusion that this "ruins" the rest of the story which like... do you know how stories work lmfaoo My guy, before this video, all we knew is that herobrine showed up and fucked everything up for no reason. This gives our villain a motive and our hero a more complicated backstory. Also, "he's griefing why would he steal from other players".. bro. This isn't a server lmfao, this is a *story*. Imagine it like a D&D game instead, an adventurer hears about a legendary relic inside a dangerous abandoned castle. Herobrine doesn't even appear in this one, presumably because he's more myth than man to anyone alive, even by Take Back the Night he only ever stays in his castle and word gets around by historical scrolls. I refuse to believe you actually think your tv comparison is worth the time of day to think about either, that's bs. Showed up bc Pix is great and even here, he tempered his critique to something that made sense, cannot believe the garbage I heard coming from you though. I really like Recap and your writing there but this.. just disappointing. I hope you improve to the point that you don't need to degrade something unnecessarily for engagement, wish you luck with that.

You must consider that the King knows way more about herobrine than the viewers do. We don't know what any of his scrolls say, nor do we know what goes on outside of what we're shown. Remember, the King's son in Take Back the Night obviously had to have read something that implies Herobrine is a nasty dude that brings upon all these hostile mobs against innocent lives. He was taking revenge FOR HIS MENTOR (wise villager), who, if you don't remember, was smashed and killed by a massive mace next to a nether portal by a pigmen. Those scrolls are ANCIENT; there is no way those scrolls could have been written after the Kingdom had fallen. As far as we're concerned, Herobrine could be preparing a catastrophic army, with a strong connection to the pigmen (hence the particularly odd pigmen chambers which suggest this) that will reduce all good in the world to atoms if not stopped. Perhaps, the King realized this and wanted the staff, not for his own power, but so that the true enemy wouldn't wield the immense power of controlling every being. I believe this is why he stashed away his "stolen" staff in the End. He wanted no chance of that staff getting into the wrong hands, and I don't see how you can pin the King as the bad guy unless you strictly see him use it for evil. And in case you still believe the King is the villain, You seem to need to remember that in Find the Pieces, the pigmen unleash a literal Wither out to destroy an entire city, a completely innocent and uninvolved city. They had been planning a long time ago to take over, and since they could not retrieve their staff from the fallen kingdom, they devised a different plan to take advantage of the nether star's power. Had the hero not been there, they likely would've lost most if not all of their army to destroy the wither and then for the pigmen to take the spoils of the kill. Also, in Dragonhearted, the pigmen are literally burning forests down for no reason. If they want to get back at the King, there's no reason to destroy entire ecosystems just for revenge. I know I basically just wrote an entire essay for you, lol, but I've always been super passionate about the series, and it breaks my heart to see you guys believe the King is actually a villain lol.

rising kingdom musi c video is clearly a metaphor for the british museum.

The king is just playing Skyrim. He just didn’t realize the deity over the dungeon was still alive. Also, yeah herobrine has something stolen from him, but did herobrine ask for the items back? Or was his first idea to go all count of Monte Cristo on him? Cause that does sorta make both sides a little bit in the wrong, especially with all the innocent casualties. Basically, the villagers were the good guys all along.

I think Herobrine raided the kingdom before the king stole his staff. His beard is smaller in the video because he probably shaved it. And since the events of this video happened after “Take back the night”, he had time to grow it back by the time his son found him in “Find the pieces”. It all makes sense (theoretically) but it’s okay if you don’t agree with me.

At this point pix and zloy should just make a channel called “zloy and Pix complain”

i can't wait for your new music video

Oh man I was hoping you two would react to this!

Herobrine is the good guy change my mind

5:14 when i heard piglin it broke my heart a bit because of how new minecraft changed zombie pigmen into just piglin.

Fun fact Zloy, at 6:40 in one of Herobrine’s rooms that are blocked off by andesite walls, you can see a portrait of the Pigman king.

How many Ninjas are there? Ninja Count: Yes.

Amusingly, the song that's riffed for the soundtrack for Fallen Kingdom is part of the muzak cycle where I work.

One of the first things I though when I saw the video was - mobs don't spawn in the ancient city.

Note to self for later: use this video as proof for why most characters are NOT players

So would Rising Kingdom be first then? Because it would make sense for Herobrine to attack the kingdom since his funny stick was stolen by the king.

1:35 The horse running across water doesn’t even follow real life physics, it is running, not swimming.

I think the idea is that the king messes everything up and his son has to fix it. But maybe I'm just salty because this is my childhood XD

ZloyXP: Why are we here? Simmons: It's one of life's greatest mysteries God please tell me someone gets the reference

Cinema sins head ass takes. What you think it’d make more sense if the world within the music videos just randomly updated and added new elements in universe as to reflect the actual game? Perhaps all past and future updates were already there, just that we didn’t know about it. Even the game with the added Deep Dark biome and Warden clearly alludes to this notion. The world of Minecraft has a history, updates are just us learning about what was already present in-universe.

wdym herobrine is the good guy it's OBVIOUSLY the jesus horse

I seen a few mobs in the biome that does not supposed to be there

Just gonna say it, it doesn’t have to look and work actually like how it does in the game, like the way the sculk works in the video is fine, like it doesn’t have to be minecraft accurate since in the music video’s universe it isn’t a game.

What year Is it? Sadly Not 2013

Your commentary is great love it

no zloy i don't think he abandon his child he thought he was dead...he was too cowardly in the first vid

13:04 It looks like the area you're building in at hermitcraft

Revenge is a completely different song.

What? Oh God.

We do see him use the staff that's how he tames the Ender dragon in the dragonhearted

0:20 *MY EYES*

prequals are good if done right! I like the animation yes but if you look at it from a story and narrative point of view its a mess, Considering a lot of this they use in this prequel didnt even exist in minecraft when thy made the original videos. so it cause alot of issues story wise like How the Warden is now in the world and he charmed one he could have kept around in the kingdom to protect it. Its a mess for the story because you open so many what ifs because your adding things into a story years later but rather then build on the existing story your changing how it begins with things that didnt exist before!

Please, please make these little "reaction" videos when other parts come out!

My issue is that all the other MC bosses had weight to them. The warden in this video was just kind of there.

Yay. 😁

I love these videos

"His beard looks like a pair of pants" ... it cannot be unseen.
