Pineapple Lord is such a great villain because he subverts a lot of the typical villain tropes. For example, many "all powerful behind the scenes characters" will oftentimes have their henchmen be revealed to be weak, but in this universe Pineapple Jacob is the final form of the Pineapple Lord. It's such an interesting twist because it really pushes the characters to their limits. Alexander and Jacob might have fought before, but this is the true test of that. Jacob might have died before, but this is the true test of that. It's taking previously used elements and pushing them up too eleven. I'd liken it to the final level of a video game recontextualizing the things you've seen in previous levels. This is not even bringing about how he manages to foil every character of the main cast. The empty void of loneliness perfectly parallels mecha mole's loneliness upon not having a family anymore. He parallels Alexander's constant commitment to friendship even in the face of horrible violence. He parallels even that first suicide bomber character that one weird kid wanted to be. He's the perfect foil. And Pineapple Lord is so amazing because of the same thing you talked about with the Wall. It might be a ridiculous villain, but he has so much depth and character underneath the surface. What should be a joke character exploited into a compelling antagonist. Not to mention Pineapple Lord is an effective villain because he is just that, effective. Most villains will dilly dally and walk around their goals in order to give their heroes a chance. But Pineapple Lord knows what he wants, and when he sees something isn't working he changes it. He takes out Jacob when he sees something not working. This isn't even taking into account an incredible feat for a villain, he wins! He manages to take over everything for 5 whole years. Take that Thanos. While his motivations might not seem very sympathetic at first, I'd compare them to a character like Bill Cipher. He's been stranded in a void of nothingness for so long he craves anything. If taking over the multiverse means that, then that's what will happen. This is an incredibly complex worldview to have because it shows that despite his despicable actions, he's more chaotic neutral than anything. Should the series continue, there would be the possibility that Pineapple Lord might take a stand against other villains. This is already something he has been shown to be willing to do. He actively works against Racnoss and Dark Master. This means that given the right story, he might side with the heroes, something which is able to add an incredible amount of depth to a villain. I can understand where he is coming from in that context. Pineapple Lord is only foiled due to essentially 2 miracles. Alexander returning from hell, and him somehow eating all the pineapples. He doesn't go down just like any other villain, he goes down swinging and only lost because he was truly outplayed. He was good, but Alexander was just better. Then, he goes down with a nuke with both heroes sacrificing themselves. And the victory truly feels earned. In conclusion, Pineapple Lord deserves credit as an extremely well thought out and executed antagonist. Marvel needs to hire this man.

"Bear boy goes swimming!" "Bear boy gets pranked!" "Bear boy sabotages the last line of defense against a multiversal threat and attempts to flee the scene with the only thing capable of reversing the calamitous damages!" Bear boy is such a wild card I love it

"I ate all the pineapples" is just the 12 year old version of "You should have aimed for the head" and I love it

Turning the main character of a British Children's Education into a genius who's developed infinite knowledge from travelling the English countryside is unironically one of the coolest ideas I've heard of

I can just imagine if this was a movie franchise and then when they say "I ate all the pineapples" there is a huge applause by the cinema audience lol

“I ate all the pineapples” is the hypest moment in comic history

When you just randomly pulled out the characters from come outside into a vast epic comic series about a multiversal war against an evil floating pineapple, it had me in stitches

The fact Come Outside is canon in your old comic series is like if Little Einsteins was a world in Kingdom Hearts

The fact that he didn't just give up on making the comics but made an ultimate ending to go with the death of The Alexander and Jacob series.

When bear boy revealed his true colors, I cried, he was a character I grew up with, we laughed and cried together, to be the one to betray the group at such a pivotal moment really made me think about how we never really know the true colors of those we are close to. A depressing arc for a character but brilliantly executed.

I find the inclusion and later exclusion of kids you knew in the comic really funny, cuz it makes it seem like the characters are played by actors who are fired or quit because of workplace drama

I did something similar when I was a kid, I made a comic series with some of my friends. I had a falling out with one of them, so I gave him stage 5 cancer in the next issue and showed it to him at school the next day.

It's interesting how your comics went through a series of Gold, Silver, and Bronze Ages. Like, they went from a series of monster-of-the-week oneshots; to family friendly nonsense about a boy who is a bear; to this multiversal war that takes all the material that came before, and takes it seriously, and weaves it into an immaculate story. And then, after the multiversal threat was thwarted, the comics went into the 90s and became grimdark and the characters started swearing.

That "i ate all the pineapples" thing was legitimately incredibly cool. And ripping up the comics from the volumes with a then deleted timeline was genius

I’m glad I wasn’t the only kid that wrote a long ass comic series with lots of blood and gore and random characters with weird plots for years lol And for some reason watching you go through all your old comics really makes me want to get back into making no scrip random story comic great video as well dude

When your teacher said you can't draw anymore humans it was like when the Comics Code was made and it censored comics during the silver age.

This video seriously gives me a lot of nostalgia for my childhood. When I was a kid, I wrote a lot of comics featuring either my favorite characters or original superheroes. Even though a lot of them have problems (especially the artwork), I'm still inspired to write better comics in the future.

The sentence “Bear Boy gets pranked into almost comminting suicide” is a lot more funny then you would expect.

This is the most I’ve ever genuinely laughed, thank you, can we all appreciate Alexander’s sweet ass post time skip hair ?

Honestly, I kinda like the ending you did when you were 12 because it kinda serves as your transition from childhood into adulthood. All of your childhood heroes putting up the fight of their lives against an enemy that has never seemed so real and all encompassing. I see it as you making all of your little creations giving you one final push into the wild dangerous world of adulthood. It’s great. Like, really great.

Hear me out. Pineapple lord exists within a blank void outside of the multiverse, so maybe the reason hes a pineapple is because thats the best way human minds can percieve him without fucking dying. Maybe bears can withstand seeing his true form, and because od it, he sabotages mecha mole as hes the only one that knows what they're truly up against. He knows that whatever they do, theyll lose, and so he wants to spare his friends the suffering of reliving it all

I can't believe the mecha mole's story literally just got me thinking about the fact that if not for the reality warping mess that got sent into his universe, he would have been all alone for the rest of time, unable to die.

Never thought I would laugh at the sentence "Bear Boy gets pranked into almost committing suicide" but here I am.

When I was 10, I was encouraged to continue drawing a comic called Dumb Squirrel and Nut, about a Squirrel that was in love with an acorn who didn’t care. Eventually the two became best friends and saved Christmas n stuff. The book series went on for like 9 editions, it was wild. Sometimes I still draw them

The suicide bomber part from your friend was deadass so unexpected that I might've laughed too hard and annoyed my family. Also I can't believe the Mole went from "haha I'm stealing from Tesco" to being drafted to war, being a victim of mind control, winning the war on his universe but at the cost of being the last survivor of his dimension, meeting up with friends from the multiverse, watching the same multiversal friends die in front of his eyes but still managed to fend off against the pineapples so that the bomb could be perfected, and gets betrayed by the one that was basically a Charlie Brown type character. Bear Boy needs to be in WatchMojo's Top 10 Best Villains of the Century video for being a straight up menace. Pippin the Dog and Mecha Mole are truly two of the best heroes in fiction history.

This is like the boys if the boys was written by a genius and was drawn by Leonardo Di'Vinci. Truly stunning stuff

hearing that this one kid wanted to be a fucking suicide bomber in your comic, that Auntie Mabel and Pippin are there, and that Mecha Mole has this fucking Go Nagai-esque ending to his story is fucking amazing. love this video.

Dude, I'm only halfway through your video, but I would absolutely read your comic if you get it published or something! The twists. The story arcs, the childhood captured in a comic with a plot better than some mainstream comics! I love it!

This entire comic series was a wild ride and I definitely think they should return. I don’t care how little anything makes sense, all that matters is that I get to experience something awesome.

I personally think bear boy’s fate was inevitable and not at all random and “dumb af”. Bear boy is a great hero and all, but deep down he is just a kid. All that trauma that he has been through seeing countless bodies and friends die, I think that got to his head, it traumatized him. So a quick decision was made, he was gonna end it all and take the time bomb. He knew he would be in an endless loop of pain seeing loved ones die, hurting himself both mentally and physically as he stops crime. Bear Boy couldn’t take anymore lives both directly and indirectly. When bearboy joined the team he felt like he had to join it. Do some true justice in his life. But seeing more and more people die, he had enough. His dark thoughts became reality. In the end he partly got his goal: Death.

The final battle against the pineapples, the compassionate reconciliation of two enemies who became allies to stop a greater cause to die alongside eachother, not knowing for sure if they've done enough, but being next to eachother is genuinely just so heartthrobbbing. Not to mention mecha-moles skill and bear boy's epic betrayal of fateful intentions. All for Pippin the dog, in a legendary finale, to eat bear boy, and then the bomb, resetting the timeline, all with stunning visuals and music. I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it, even if Pippin made me laugh at the sheer joyful absurdity. This was truly a masterpiece and an absolute joy to watch and I wish it was longer and I wish I could watch it for the first time over and over. This is, truly, one of the best retellings I've ever seen. And I know I sound like I'm trying to be fancy for the effects and the memes, but I am genuinely serious with everything I said in this comment. I loved this, so much, sure it may be crude, sure the earlier stuff doesn't make much sense, but that ending all makes up for it

I can't get over the fact that you wrote an entire wiki for your multiverse, a thing that's by design meant to be written and maintained by multiple people, completely by yourself

For what it's worth, you had really good handwriting as an 8-year-old.

This guy had better storytelling at 8 than me at 24.

Dude, the drawing style was a thousand times better than mine as a child. I mean I was drawing stick figures at that point in time

As someone who also wrote books in elementary school, and even some comics now, I have so much respect for how many issues you got up to

I absolutely love the fact that there's more blood on one page of this comic book than in the entire "Winter Soldier" movie.

Dude I would actually buy a copy if you reprinted one of these comics, they perfectly encapsulate childhood creativity. The kind that just can’t be replicated. This was a great video.

This is amazing. Someone needs to give this the One Punch Man treatment. Also this reminds me of all the little universes I made as a kid an now I kinda want to write it all out for future use lol

I really appreciate the epic cinematic version of Coldplay's Paradise during the finale of these videos. It really helps immerse me in the story. (Or is it Viva la Vida ?)

I love this video so much and have THREE (3) specific points I wanna make: 1. Absolutely make more videos Abt this lore 2. Seeing ur unfiltered creativity as a kid rly reinvigorated my passion to make comics 3. The fact that suicide is such a recurring thing in this universe is genuinely fascinating to me and I wish I had the brain capacity to write an essay Abt it rn

This was actually fucking hilarious and super interesting. The commitment shown by young Alexander as he rips up an entire story arcs worth of content is like Jared Leto method acting, and so insanely self destructive he makes the morbin fuck look like a child. The twist ending of eating all the pineapples gave me chills, and truly is a panel to rival the greats. The stories real life interaction is so fantastic in every way, and hearing about how you noscoped irl Jacobs nuts with a nerf gun and how that affected the story brought me to tears.Pineapple Jacob is truly one of the most efficient villains in the literary canon, and his character depth and scheming are so overwhelming that Iago must've used him as inspiration. I must say that it'll a major disappointment if his return isn't even an easter egg in the brick man comics. I await the return of this universe and your up coming comics with great interest.

I had this whole manga series when I was 12. Sometimes I think of remaking and releasing it only to remember that ot would probably go into history as a naruto clone (despite me never watching naruto until I became 17). The story wasnt fully fleshed out either so I would have to fix some plotholes too.

This is actually so good. You should try to make it into a movie. PLEASE!!!! I love it

Honestly "the events in these comics have been retconned out of existence, so the comics themselves must be destroyed" is a genuinely interesting creative decision, even if it is hard to imagine anyone but a kid making it.

DC: “I have more complex timeline lore Marvel: “No, I have more complex timeline lore!” Alex: “Let me enlighten you” *records a timeline explanation with remade drawings alongside revealing the existence of a custom timeline wiki he made years back*

I remember me and my friend making a comic called "Doody" and I think the entire concept of it was that there were like infinite versions of doody all with their own attributes like "fat doody" for whatever reason. I vaguely remember his general design of a smiley face, just a floating smiley face, no head, just eyes and a mouth floating and 4 pieces of hair above the eyes.

Dude the fact that these storyline is better than most stories nowadays...

honestly hearing about eight year old you’s comics about a giant mess of a multiverse is so intriguing, raw, and original, and I feel confused yet inspired

This seems like something I would've unironically read and enjoyed as a child. Can't wait to see the Alexander and Jacob fanfics coming from this

I honestly think your teacher greatly improved your comics by prevents you from making human characters. Bear Boy and Crab Man are much better character designs than “Jacob”.

This was an absolute cinematic masterpiece.

Alexander is the most badass character in all of comic book history

I absolutely love stuff like this. I wish more people had the bravery to share their childhood flights of fancy. This has inspired me to maybe finally share some of the storylines and characters I invented and built throughout my early and mid teens.

Props to child alex having incredibly neat, clean, and easy to read handwriting

“I ate all the pineapples” gives me the same vibes as a shounen protagonist who’s figured out the villain of the week’s bag of tricks and is about to deck them in the face

This video was delayed because I accidentally filmed the whole thing in slow motion, leaving me with 17 hours of slow mo footage on my phone. But it's whatever. Pour one out for Mecha Mole's family.

"You have to stop Alexander!" "Why, did he turn evil like I did?" "No, he's just a massive dick." THIS IS SO FUNNY TO ME

Maybe they chose not to use the lifeRestart machine because they realised how they were ultimately creating new timelines whenever they brought back a character that died ? And that they already saw the issues that messing with the timeline brought, trough Racnoss. They chose to go trough the pain that accompanies humanity and mourn their closest friend, rather than risk for an entire world to be doomed. But still the loss of a friend left them restless. So despite everything, they tried to look for a way of getting back their friend, without destroying a universe. Ironic, how destroying the universe ultimately was the solution.

5:40 laughed so hard I shat the bed.. literally

I know people are gonna joke around and ironically say these comics are "the greatest cinematic works of fictions human beings have ever conceieved", but speaking from the point of view of someone who grew up with all these ideas for stories and comics in childhood and later throwing them away because I grew up, this was really sweet! I genuinely thought some of those moments in the story were grade A storytelling, and the fact that you looked at all this and didn't outright bash it (plus the fact that you're also bringing it back!) gives me some inspiration to work on my creative side too. Thank you for this :)

With the questionable elements like "Ice Cream Superman" and the unlicensed usage of the "Come Outside" universe, so much of this is absolutely sheer genius. Unironically Racnoss' prison break issue was incredibly done and I'd love to be able to read it myself.

Thank you so much for making these two videos (this and your childhood cinematic universe), they legitimately inspired me to start doing my own comic series I used to do with my friends! Also I personally am left scratching my head at how you made so many issues in just four years…. Also, does anyone know about the other stuff that happened to Mecha Mole?

You know, I really enjoyed it. I think it is incredible you were able to come up with a story like this out of inspiration. It would've been amazing witnout the come outside incorporation (though it is halarious AF that you decided to do that given the story you created.) Crab man is cool crab

"I ate all the pineapples" greatest comic line in history.

I’ve now watched this video 7 times because of how good it is keep it up plus I would love to have some in depth stuff into Crab Man, Mecha Mole and a bit of the other Alexander and Jacob because there’s a whole jump between part 1 to part 68. Keep up the work and you’ve inspired me into continuing my comic series and having crazy universe.

I’ve watched this video at least 6 times because of how nicely the story comes together between all of the different universes. I also made comics when I was younger and they didn’t come out as good as these do. Rip Mecha Mole

This was actually really sick. I tried to make my own comics as a kid because I thought that would be what kids should do, but I never really got into it. I really hope you make more in depth videos about these comics.

This series has some genius level writing to it. The irony and tragedy of the mole for the enemy who is also a literal mole who goes from empathetic thief to tragic war hero. The obsession with suicide bombers. The dedication to the reboot. tbh i think we need a remaster of this magnum opus

honestly very invested in the idea of you making comments, how you present things has consistently engaged and impressed me even though they are not things i have a particularly special interest in so i shall be looking out for more on your new comics

I just randomly clicked on this video to see what was up, and I got invested fast! The story is honestly brilliant and I'm sure this is the briefest possible synopsis. I would love to see more of these comics! (Or even remastered versions!)

Dude, that ending was WILD. Genuinely these characters and this world, with more development, would be such a cool story. I love hearing about folks’ OCs from childhood (I sure had my fair share), so thank you for making this video!

I’m more emotionally attached to these characters I met 15 minutes ago than the entire mcu

14:12 gave me chills

Please make more of these dude I love them so much this is honestly so creative and funny

“I ate all the pineapples” has that should’ve gone for the head energy

Ngl, the idea that just one kid could eat not 1, not 2, not even 10, but ALL of the pineapples on earth, that just really made me burst out laughing. Top tier storytelling, 10/10

6:48 this is a literal definition of I will put you back together

I love *sudden change of expression* “finally I am no longer stuck as a pineapple” And “this is hell…..you can leave though I dont care”

I'm literally so invested in this now. This has to be one of the best comics I've ever heard of, and I would buy every single book just so I could be given that childhood nostalgia of the most creative book series ever.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Alexander and Jacob. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Alexander’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Alexander and Jacob truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Alexander’s existential catchphrase "I shot him in the balls with a nerf gun," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Alex Lennen's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have an Alexander and Jacob tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

This is a perfect mix of light-hearted stories with dark-toned stories!

its rare when you see a youtube video that you remember for a whole year and rewatch 3 times i love this video

Honestly I gotta respect that you tore all of the comics from the dead timeline.

I like how the lessons of this video are "No matter how silly and one-shot an idea might seem. theres always something worth exploring" and "the comics 10 year olds make are insane"

this was by far my favorite video you have ever made and i have watched all of them

This needs to be adapted into an animated show

Honestly I want to hear more of this kind of stuff. As much as I love marvel and dc, they’re all big companies that get talked about all the time, and I like to hear things that I probably haven’t heard before, especially when it’s from an independent comic creator.

Honestly I find it endlessly entertaining to just be taken through someone's weird but occasionally consistent imagination, this was a great watch.

I really love this video to the point that I have hyper fixated on your comics several times :P

Petition for Jacob and Alexander to be a series with 7 seasons and a movie

I remember that when I was 8 years old, I made a comic series called ”Fruits and the giant vegetables“. It was about sentient vegetables going on strange adventures. The main character was a carrot who went on adventures with his friend who was a tomato. I also made a spinoff of this comic series about the tomato being a detective. It was really fun to make these comics, but as I grew up, I lost interest in making these comics, but I still kinda miss making them.

Man , I've seen the video when it first came out but i have waited a year just to say , mecha mole's back hurts from carrying the whole team man

I LOVE THIS BRO, THIS IS AMAZING!!! SUBSCRIBED

I used to write stories about people named after myself and my classmates, similarly to how you describe your comic books in this video. This video inspired me to look back to my weird stories I wrote as a kid and they're surprisingly mature. I've noticed that a lot of things children make mirror things adults go through throughout their lives, or even deeper subjects. For example, one of my stories has the morality of life and death as an integral plot point and how life cannot continue without death. You can also find deep subjects hidden in these comics you made. Pineapple Lord explores the inevitability of death and the horrors of immortality. While Pineapple Lord lost everything and began to feel trapped in his immortal body, he gave what he thought was mercy to the multiverse, the peace of death. It's quite depressing actually, and I think if these comics were remade they could be hidden masterpieces. It has also inspired me to rewrite my stories and, who knows, I may even publish them if all goes well. Thanks for making more great content, it's great seeing you finally get some recognition on this platform as I think no one is more deserving of it. Early congrats for 100k subs as well!

Gotta love just how unaware and unaffected bear boy is in every single panel, id even believe if the only reason he betrayed his team was because the time bomb looked pretty

I unironically love this so much I'd love to see more

We need some sort of follow up to this, a remaster of this incredible lore from years ago that is both awesome and batshit insane

My essay on the comics. Alexander and Jacob is a realistic duo and they have a perfect friendship that feels reel because It Is real. In real life Alexander and Jacob like to make comics and In the comics they’re going to a top secret base for weapons but they get caught, this Is a metaphor of the actual Alexander and Jacob who were scared of getting caught for the comics that they were making and drawing in class, they liked doing It but they were scared to get caught. This comic shows a perfect represantation of stress and anxiety in a way that feels reel still because It Is quite reel. Alexander and Jacob were pretty confident at the time so they fought off the security guards but they were more security guards, and they thought this was the end. Alexander and Jacob lost confidence and self esteem. The security guards are a metaphor for the teachers at Alexander and Jacob’s school. The special healing bullets are a metaphor for anti depression medication and their confidence come back. At the end because of their confidence and self esteem they succeed to kill off all the security guards with an explosion. Alexander and Jacob are two kids who are often stressed and need confidence even medication, probably due to the bullying and exams. The fact that Alex and Jacob are the two only survivors Is because anything can die except love and friendship, except memories. Raccnoss Is a metaphore for depression but Alex and Jacob never face him face to face and in any way they try to hide their depression from themselves and everyone else It still comes back in all their bad moments or when there Is bad people around which makes them stressed and anxious. Alex and Jacob probably have an anxiety disorder and a confidence problem but because of their friendship they can fight depression and anxiety. Because of friendship everyone could fight the demons inside them, haunting them. Friendship definitively makes people fell better about themselves. The life restarter Is because In life you can always better yourself and even If you were a dick your entire life you can still become a good human. Alexander Vs Jacob shows the struggles in friendship and when you spend too much time with a friend you start too want to have other friends and do other things but because Alex and Jacob are still children they don’t express It well and Alex goes into violence because he thinks It’s the only way. Jamie Is a hero and the best person In the group of P6A he’s brave and would do anything for his friends. He sacrificed himself probably because he was abused for his entire life and most people he knew were mean to him except his friends so he didn’t want to let go the only thing that he truly loved. Bear boy Is definitely the darkest character, when Alex and Jacob have anxiety, Bear boy has no anxiety and no feeling at all he can’t feel stressed or scared he suffered too much already, he doesn’t care about dying he even kind of wants it. He’s probably surrounded by a family who doesn’t love him and I’m gonna assume rabbit kid Is his brother, rabbit kid Is a full on psychopath, he doesn’t feel any emotion, no guilt, no stress, nothing he’s a full on monster. Crab man smashing a brick wall Is because crab man Is like your ideal man, It’s probably a metaphor for toxic masculinity Alexander realized that even if he didn’t want to be friend with Jacob he still deserved too live and he didn’t have anyone else except him so he got to the multiverse and tried everything in his power too save Jacob 
The reason why they went to a children show universe Is because It shows the innocence of Alexander and that he Is still a child after all even If he started a multiversal war. Bear boy felt angry that he didn’t have anything to do and that nobody cared about him so he tried to get attention by taking the bomb and starting It. Bear boy Is a narcissist and always tries to get attention. Pineapple Jacob shows that everybody even a perfect child like Jacob has a dark side a pineapple side. Thank you for reading my essay on the comics.

Alexander: “Is this heaven?” Buff, chad Satan: “Lol no”
