we need agnes

"Alice is trans" *Apollo gift of prophesy*

"jonny wanted an unfuckable monster" *gives the monster a purple tie and fnaf mascot vibes* ... *releases said monster to TUMBLR*

Lmao I'm watching this after listening to the first two episodes of TMAGP and your, "I'm calling it Freddie -- I don't think I'm supposed to call it Freddie..." was so funny

"Gerard! Gerry! He's probably traumatised!!!(clearly excited)" was perfect and absolutely my feelings

Me after I finished TMA, finally watched the trailer for TMP after I missed the ARG, finding a video made by someone with coloured hairs and a flamingo shirt : That's it ! That's exactly what I was looking for

you forgot that its also a slow burn rom-com

"Agnes is going to be alive, somehow" oh honey, pls drink up *lifts a spoon of delulu juice for you*

How did I completly miss an arg for the sequel to ny favorite podcast

I don’t mean this in a bad way at all. You look like the platonic ideal of a tma fan. Thank you for the explanation I didn’t catch the ARG and just watched the new episodes.

Ooh, I didn't think about it at first, but Jon and Martin being antagonists would be really interesting, not sure how it would happen, but I'd like to see it, and animal avatars too

The theory of Jon, Martin and Jonah being digitalised sounds way too much like William Afton after The Ultimate Custom Night and I'm not prepared for this

Honestly i love the agnes theory. I had forgotten about the cleaner at hilltop road entirely

the way u didnt start this as the magnus protocol arg was an arg produced by rusty quill and licensed under a creative commons attribution non commercial sharealike 4.0 international license...

The fact that you guys had trouble at a copy shop is so fucking funny to me

someone has def pointed this out but bonzo seems to be a pretty cut and dry parody of bonzi buddy, a weird "helper" program from the 90s which was actually malware

thank you for doing this!! I had no idea there was even an arg happening (perks of not being on social media haha) but I just scrolled through the master doc and I am so impressed!! the sheer feral need for and achievement of knowledge from this fandom the second we are presented with a mystery really proves our collective eye alignment lmao

this accurately depicts the absolute chaos we all felt while taking part in this arg

I love how this is recorded as the events happen so its a nice buildup as things go by and are discovered.

Thank you so much for making this. I was an active member of the Statement Remains ARG server, and even though it’s shut down now those were the best couple of chaotic, unhinged theorizing and problem solving. I remember staying up late at night to work on the ARG, the time when like fifteen of us were trying to record every instance of a MAG episode description change in the same doc at the same time… it was fun

New theory, Y2k. Its probably not new, but you talked about the extinction, and um, yeah, Y2k is pretty extinction.

Oh wow, thank you SO much for this! I tried to get into the ARG, but was a little too late to hop on the bandwagon and VERY confused, to say the least haha :) Very entertaining video, I love it!

That Hilltop road mag with the cleaner was the first thing I thought of when the Magnus protocol was introduced lmao

Here after the protocol drop. Someone got Ushanka'd alright!!

i shall now use gen z behavior in my everyday vocabulary

Gotta say, watching this video as someone who wasn't envolved in the ARG but HAS just watched episode 10 of The Magnus Protocol... this video is hilarious XD

I didn't realize there was an arg so found this vid after listening to the first 2 eps and....i have THOUGHTS and am somehow more excited for more which i didnt think was possible also, thank you so much for putting this together! it's lovely and super helpful ^^

no clue how youtube knew to recommend this to me at

AH. I adore this fandom so much, you have no idea. I am so hlessed to have been a part of this ARG and to eatch the chaos unfold since day one. Great video! Im only a tiny bit envious you were able to attend some on-location sites, hehe. I will be chewing on that trailer until the pilot drops.

the astrik incident is still my favourite

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS i was far too overwhelmed during the ARG to be anything other than moral support !! i definitely missed a lot !!

Dawg you can’t just play the theme song like that at the end every time I hear that I feel a genuine visceral reaction

What are the chances Bonzo is a reference to BonziBuddy. A desktop virtual assistant from 1999.

Can’t wait to draw as I watch this

this video was awsome!!! loved the bingo card. jon and martin being antagonists would actually make so much sense bc if they are responsible for bringing the entities into this dimension, ppl would hate them. i never even considered that before now

Finally finished, ohhh man i really wasnt expecting a real time play-by-play, congrats to you and the other players! Still would like to go through the translated forums myself, but absolutely the coolest piece of found evidence to me was the doc with the Bonzo Buck. The fact it seems Sam was the institute's star pupil does not bode well for him in this show lol. Also that Gerry was just below him; I hope that means they know each other, and that he might be a active player in the show! I may be hesitant for main characters like Jon and Martin to come back, but the coolest part of an AU is the potential for grabbing side characters from that didn't get to be explored as much for whatever reason, like being dead, and giving them a chance. Agnes has hope yet!! (Last thing; it's interesting that Connor, whoever that ends up being, wasn't anywhere notable on the list. We now know that Alice has a brother names Luke, so no leads there yet. She also doesn't seem to recognize the Institute while Sam definitely does, but shes also been keen to push away all potentially traumatizing shit from her mind, so we'll just have to see)

I knew nothing of the ARG as I forgot to take part, so thank you for this video! It helped a lot. I just finished listening to the preview and hearing all of this afterwards sure is great... definitely made me shocked at some parts, and even more excited for the full release of the series in January.

I found trying to make sense of the masterdoc and the ARG after the fact really overwhelming, so thank you so much for doing this! This was a much more accessible summary for my brain.

statement remains shutting down was genuinely so upsetting for me 😭😭

I missed the arg while it happened but seeing the chaos over the phone number is reminding me of when we used to do Gishwhes (greatest international scavenger hunt the world has ever seen) 13:28

The fears seem much more mature in this series. Composite even.

The algorithm gods have looked upon me and graced me with your video. I didn't follow anything after the last episode, because squirrel. Thanks for all the work you put into this. Looking forward what you post next.

IT'S OUT! THERE ARE TWO EPISODES OUT GUYS!!

Listening to this while alone at my irl archive job for an authentic experience (thanks for putting in the work of compiling this info!!)

this is a wonderfully put together video but my psychology nerd ass died a little inside hearing your pronunciation of Jean Piaget

thanks so much for doing this video!! I can’t believe there was so much plot stuff that I didn’t know about, I’m surprised no one was posting about it to people outside of the arg (but to be fair I did not look at the arg tag once so maybe that one’s on me lol). anyway you absolutely killed it, this has got me so excited!!

funny jonny wanted a non fuckable monsters because micheal distortion is actually the loml

I was hoping for someone to make a video like this for people like me who missed the ARG. Many thanks! Also, while idk that it's how she wins, I'm also SO hopeful that we'll have a Magnes sighting in Protocol.

You are a GODSEND!!!! Been a massive tma fan since season 1 but am not super active in online fandom so had no clue there was even an ARG for a while and even then had no clue where to start, you have saved me truly

the way i listened all of the magnus archives and thought the magnus protocol was just like a bajillion years ahead in the future from the ending bruh

Thank you so much for making this and compiling things for those of us who missed out on the ARG, especially things like pictures of the websites and screencaps for sites that are down now. It sounds like a lot of the things that were dropped in the ARG are going to be very relevant as TMagP goes on and I'm excited to see what awfulness awaits us!

Beep boop algorithm boost this video

Thank you for the in-depth explanation ! I wanted to take part but couldn't get into it quickly and when I got the chance to take a look at the discord I was immediatly overwhelmed

thank you for making this video! i wish i was more active on the discord when everything was happening (i kinda stopped talking in there after the * incident lmao, so pretty early on), but this is an incredible way to catch up!

You are literally a lifesaver for uploading this! I was heartbroken when I heard i’d missed an ARG but this is a very nice consolation :)

I literally don't understand how I missed the ARG but thank you for documenting it in video format! You're a peach :)

Tysm for this vid and bless the algorithm gods. Just completed the entirety of TMA a few weeks ago so i obviously missed the ARG. This was a really great rundown and im very excited to check out the document when i have time! Also im even more excited for TMP bc god i love this universe and all of its characters so much.

I haven't so much as thought about the magnus archives for a good year and a half or so, but I think this video might be reigniting something within me...

I absolutely love listening to people talk abt this podcast since no one in my life knows about it. I’m so excited for this new series, thank you for making this vid you are a godsend!!

I started listening to the magnus archives roughly when you made this video. Binged the whole thing in a couple months, and have been listening to Protocol since it started. I'm so sad I missed out on this ARG! Thanks for this video

you are a lifesaver for making this. thank you

Thank you si much for explaining everything !! It’s awesome to have footage of the events

i am here trying to understand the arg without actually following the puzzle because i'm impatient asf

gah I just started this video but thank you very very much for creating it!! I couldn't participate in the arg and I really wanted to know what I missed, so I am super grateful that you made this video!! :3

On the existence of a "Magnus Institute": worth noting that any world that receives the Entities would have its history completely rewritten as well.

Thank you so much for the rundown, i didn't have time to participate the arg, but this was really fun to watch. I'm now even more excited to see (more like listen to haha) the story of tmp. Anyway, great video and thanks again

Thanks for this. I had just finished the original series less than a week after the ARG was done, so this was a great help

Magnus Archives fans 🤝 Gravity Falls fans Being insane detectives

Thanks for the video 🙏🏻 I’m really sad I missed the opportunity to come to Berlin - really like the frame from Berlin where one person is casually rolling themselves a cigarette in the background 😂

I only heard about the arg from one of your tiktok videos and really enjoyed my time lurking in the discord and being confused most of the time!!

Watching this on the premiere day of Magnus Protocol like "o-OH... OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH-"

I'm late to the arg because i didnt know it was happening but the trailer looks dope, very excited to watch this explanation!

watching this after episode 6 came out is AMAZING. and hilarious. oh boy I am SO excited to come back and rewatch this video at the end of season 1 lol

Thank you! This is gonna be amazing I can already Tell From the beginning!

thank you for this video i dont have the mental capacity for args without summary videos lmao

Thank yooooou. I sae your tiktok and I'm so happy you are now really explaining it.

just finished tma and honestly wish I did before so i couldve taken part on this arg god

Now we know Bonzo.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. i didn’t know there was an arg until like. a week ago. so this helps so so much oh my goodness i am so excited 🙏🙏

11:46 okay is it just me or do the voices saying “thank you” and “goodbye” sound like Elias and Martin, respectively? at least a little bit?? maybe it’s not important but it caught my ear.

OMG SHES AN AVATAR OF THE EYE (i assumed but omg she did the thing)

omg thankyou so much for this video! i joined the statement remains discord in 2022 for the ARG/TMA2 announcement and i haven't been active there since so i'm glad i discovered your channel since i'm finally starting my listen to the magnus protocol :D

THABK YOU, this was so amazing to understand!!!

Also, Lady M - maybe she'll end up being a Peter Lukas adjacent character in terms of role in Protocol? Dunno what Bonzo will end up being, though.

You really did this for us, I'm stumbling onto this 6 months later, and so the spiral begins DX

I didn't know there was an ARG for this dnd holy epiphany, was I excited. Thanks for making this video

Can't watch yet but the first couple seconds look so cool! Will watch asap

have to rewatch this now that tmagp is actually out lmao

this is a life saver, thank you!

NOT YOU CALLING ME OUT WITH THE TRANS ELIAS THEORY 💀 I SWEAR IM NOT DELUSIONAL

Bless you for this 🙏🙏🙏

So sad that I just got into TMA this year, would’ve loved to meet fellow German Fans and go to Berlin. But I’ve had my fun catching up on TMAGP! Thank you for this amazing video! :]

I have no idea what the magnus archives are nor do I know whats going on but omg a deepdive AND a pin board?? Say no more

I'm rather late to this video but this is a fascinating summary. I didn't even know there was an ARG, it completely blew by me. And congratulations on your 1000th subacriber. 🎉

Thank you now I can say I experienced someone experiencing the arg

i was too busy to get into the arg properly so i'm glad to have this🙏🏻🙏🏻 cause w the new protocol episodes ppl keep referencing the arg and i dont get it😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻

Bless you for this because lord knows I would never be able to follow this on my own

People keep mentioning things like its fact and im alwasy like "where was this what???" And the answer is always "oh the ARG" I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT EXISTED UNTIK THE PREMIERE DANGIT

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

THANK YOU
