Mona's story is overhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqquJAfckz8
I really liked the last episode I thought it was a massive step up in terms of quality presentation pacing and horror.This one though? it felt like Urban didn't give a fuck about this one. 90% of it is just Mona talking and it's the weakest voice acting in this series so far which is bad for the main villain. But worse is how it's just a single image of Mona for a good 50% of it and the other half is just Urban's inktober drawings in one massive compilation.It feels like he took two steps forward with Hell than two steps back with TP.Overall as someone who defended this series I'm kind of let down.
>>151957864Yeah "Hell" was like a fucking movie and it goes right back to nasally voiced bedroom mic-tier audio drama. It's the same shit that drove me away from the Mandela Catalog.
Having other killers that can paint exactly like Mona is stupid bruh. Now Mona's less some weird fucked up freak of nature and now just a pawn to what ever weird MK ultra Death cult shit that's going on behind the scenes. I have no doubt Urban has more planned since I'm pretty sure he said before that the universe of The Painter is much larger than what we see in the series so if he plans to expand on it I hope it will be good but this "final" leaves a lot to be desired.
>>151957747As a curious passerbye is this series worth a watch going in blind?
I want to violently anal fuck Mona
>>151957864>people keep saying Mona was voiced by a troon or an AI>it's actually some mystery meat InstathotBizarre.https://www.instagram.com/minervuhhh/
>>151958010Not really, it's not a good series and takes too long for it to reach a good episode. People watch it either for Mona or the notoriety that comes from children and gays complaining about how gleefully violent and miserable the series is
>>151958044lmao what a fucking loser, this man cannot be in his twenties.
>>151958044Why not just make the series end on a high note? Hell was a serious improvement, makes no sense to shit the bed like this.
>>151958044Why not just make a good video? we know you can do it. Hell was great so why intentionally make this one shit? is he retarded?
>>151958044fuck me dude. I defended Urban because most critics are fucking retards. but this is just both petty and embarrassing. Like I thought he learned to forget what the dumb shits on twitter said and just make art for himself but no he is just being spiteful for the sake of spite.
>>151958044>Known ragebaiter makes a rage baiting finaleIs this suppose to be surprising?
>intentionally piss off your audience in every waySo it's le ebin trole, and the concept of the "machine" was something he lifted wholesale from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_the_%22Influencing_Machine%22_in_Schizophrenia
>>151958131Because the previous episode was actually decent. Like he had taken the criticism to heart and actually pushed himself to make something more than a slideshow.
Mona's death being anti-climactically shanked at the hands of a fellow inmate?Good in the context of realism. No longer the dangerous and almost supernatural force she once was. Proved mortal.Mona being part of some weird larger cult of Painters and the "universe" expanding? Fucking stupid and completely undermines the idea that this was, at the end of the day, just a killer
>Letting ragebait dictate how well your work isWhen has this ever resulted in something genuinely good, not something that was made to piss off Executives because they were fucking with you like Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers or The Dover Boys but a genuine "I'm trying to make you mad :^)" moment that turned out to be really good
>>151958206I was deeply afraid Urban was going to do something gay like make Mona part of some cult or supernatural and my fears were proven right. way to completely miss why people liked your main villain.
>>151958241>write your main antagonist as a dogfucker out of spite for your audience who like herMan seems bitter and deeply insecure.
>>151958044
>IT WAS ALL SUPERNATRUAL IN THE END! FUCK YOU Thanks Urbanspook, very cool.
>>151958275I mean I don't think that's out of character for her. You think out of everything she's done dog fucking would be a line too far for her? Making her possessed by some stupid demon is what's pissing me off. I hate it when legit evil characters are just ruined like this.
>>151958327Not at all, but having Mona act like an edgy teenager doesn't fit well at all. If anything an investigation into her past should have made that fact come to light, not some pointless admission in a stilted fake interview.
Personally I think the ending is fitting considering what the series is about Also the whole cult thing gives a little more context to MonaHopefully the author's next work is not filled with fucked up stuff
>>151958444Hi Urban!Be seeing you!
>>151958044https://youtu.be/BbPiIwFOQtU?si=hslyMIfxBPQA0EKM
>>151957747neat
I don't see why so many people are saying it's necessarily a cult. This was my interpretation of the ending.>mona was right about the machines and this being planned>there was some conspiracy to goad her into becoming the red demon thing's conduit>they seemingly allowed her to do what she did as a 'necessary evil'>the cop who shot bill and arrested mona probably wasn't in on it>they're forced to proceed with her trial and she dies in prison>with nothing to focus on, the red demon thing begins freely moving through america making new painters on a larger scaleIt reframes how the fuck Mona was able to get away with this for so long, and I do enjoy that necessary evil element in horror. I think he does the usual over the top extreme shock grossout nonsense to try and TRIGGER and OWN his critics too hard again which is obnoxious, but beyond that I do think it's a kind of cool end.
>>151958044why are people like this?
>>151957974>Having other killers that can paint exactly like Mona is stupid bruh.You don't get it. Mona isn't the Painter. The Red Man is the Painter. He possesses her to make the paintings, right down to having his own unique handwriting. Mona doesn't give a shit about painting
>>151958149I mean, it's a pretty common horror cliche. Outlast 2 did it. There's lot of Jeff the Killer fanfiction where Jeff is insane because of radio signals
>>151958241>I drew myselfHeh nice outdated fanart there buddy
Seems like some weird MK Ultra thing and maybe commentary on true crime fans in general. The police were in on it according to Mona, and that siren drone we heard throughout the series must have been the machine. The person uploading the tapes helped spread it, and did so intentionally. There's probably no real Red Man entity. Just something that triggers a specific reaction from probably already disturbed people. That or Mona really was keeping the entity at bay by being the only vessel. Idk. Either way the MK Ultra aspect is really interesting and out of nowhere. Last episode was definitely nowhere near as good as Hell.
>>151958346You're surprised the creator of "Fucktoy Cory" and "Blowhole Isabelle" (making fun of a fat woman) wouldn't act like an edgy teenager? Her being an inbred white trash meth addict is the only possible characterization she could've had
>>151958072>this man cannot be in his twentiesWdym? "I'm going to be real edgy and piss everyone off" is peak early-20s behavior. Ask any anon who's been posting for at least 10 years
>>151959707It's very Garth Ennis's Crossed. Whether it's just your id taking over your brain or a literal demon possessing you, all that matters is that it makes you a sadistic baby rapist
>>151959756It's true
>>151958072>>151959756UrbanSlug made his YouTube account in 2006. This nigga is in his early 30s at the youngest
I never gave this a chance, (not because of the subject matter, but because the whole "analog horror" thing seemed boring to me.) so I'm not disappointed after having to wait literal years for this. Guess I've made the right choice in the end.
>>151957747>>151957864>>151957948>>151957974>>151959589>>151959707Not /co/Fuck off
>>151957747HOW IS THIS/co/ RELATED
>>151959993It's always so funny when the resident schizo hyperfixates on something
>>151959810Oh... oh my.Well, there's also a type of person who likes to keep being edgy and piss people off well into their golden years.>>151959975>>151959993>always illustrated>sometimes animatedThe only thing that would make it not /co/ is if this wasn't Western-originated.
>>151960012Answer the questionHow is this /co/?Most of the video isn't even animatedThere's outright live action in it
>>151960021Don't interact with him. He's the resident schizo spammer faggot. Just let him scream into the void
>>151960040Says the parasite faggot who can't argue for actual validity on /co/
>>151960051Maybe he can't, but I did. >>151960021
The thread was deleted yesterdayThis shit isn't cartoons
>>151960025>There's outright live action in itThere's live action in SpongeBob or Gumball sometimes, does that disqualify them?
>>151959924You missed out. The series was kino from beginning to end. People complaining about the finale are being totally arbitrary
>>151960021>always illustratedThere's literal live action footage and the illustrations aren't animated They're a slideshow>sometimes animatedOh wow I guess we can have threads on the entirety of Freddy Got Fingered
>>151960077No because Gumball and SpongeBob are actual cartoons numbskullSpongebob and Gumball aren't fucking slide show bullcrap like whatever this Urbanspook douche craps out that you bottom feeder tasteless low lives gleefully eat up
>>151959589The big appeal to UrbanSpook at the beginning was that the concept was something analog horror desperately needed at the time. A realistic horror story centered around a deranged cat-and-mouse game with a deranged killer.Someone like Mona's not scary unless you can create the feeling that someone like her could be in your neighborhood.
>>151960115There's NO appeal to UrbanSpook because you'd have to have brain cells actively killing themselves to even enjoy this trash
>>151959589Whether the cult worships the Red Man and wants to manifest him, or simply have to appease him to minimize casualties, it's still a cult. The Aztecs making sacrifices to appease gods were still cultists
>>151960058This will never be real /co/ntent. You have no storyboards, you have no sequences, you have no panels. This a slide show twisted by cheap editing software into a crude mockery of the horror genre.All the “validation” it gets is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back /co/mrades mock it. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your awful taste behind closed doors./co/mrades are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed us to sniff out shit with incredible efficiency. Even Analog Horror that “pass” look jank and lame to a man. Its poor presentation is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy to have a conversation, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your off-topic crap only a child can find scary.You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll go to the bathroom, get a tidepod, consume it, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a child is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your show's legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably a slide show.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Hell, it'd probably be a better movie...>>151960113>Spongebob and Gumball aren't fucking slide show bullcrapClutch Cargo.>you bottom feeder tasteless low lives gleefully eat upI'm actually not a fan really, I just find talking about what "counts as /co/" really fascinating.
REMOVEZOOMEROFF TOPICFILTH
>>151960153>Clutch CargoEven Clutch Cargo has more animationNot by a lot but still, Clutch Cargo isn't presented as a literal slide show on the same level as Urbanspook is
>>151960092>defender of this is using "le kino" buzzwordAnother proof I've made the right decision
>>151960153>"counts as /co/" really fascinatingThe simplest thing would be >Would /a/ accept the Japanese equivalent?NoNo they wouldn'tIf UrbanSpook was Japanese they wouldn't discuss his series because they could tell from a mile away that it isn't anime
>>151960170YTPs for cartoons are /co/ and they involve less effort than UrbanSpook, which is original art and animation, vs YTPs which is purely editing
>>151960193>animationlollmao even
>>151960205I mean, it has animation. I don't know what else you want me to say
>>151960193Ytps based on cartoons are /co/ because they're already based on established cartoons gas for brains
>>151960213You're trying to say Urbanspook isn't /co/ purely on the basis that it's "low-effort", but you're fine with even lower effort things being on the board. Stop pretending you're not a hypocrite
>>151960236I'm saying it's not /co/ because it's not a cartoonIt's as /co/ as DVD menus are /v/ or blank Marble Notebooks are /lit/
Is this a medium issue, or a genre issue?Take the series Obelisk by Lizardmeninc. It is, unambiguously, fully animated in the same way Kane Pixels' Backrooms series is. Would the people saying this, or early Monument Mythos or Mandela Catalog or The Walten Files are "not /co/" (despite, medium-wise, all of which being closer to /co/ than anything else) say the same about Obelisk or Backrooms?
>>151960236Heavily edited cartoons are still cartoons
>>151960284The singular schizo trying to argue against the Painter simply has a personal distaste for the content of the series itself, and is inventing whatever loopholes in the rules he can think of to excuse false reporting the threads. There is no actual discussion to be had here, it's just one manchild's temper tantrum
>>151960302>no argumentBEEEEEEYITCH
>>151960309Your only "argument" was literally a meme copypasta
>>151960321Anon, if your argument for what is /co/ amounts to something more comparable to a PowerPoint slideshow than actual cartoons it's pretty clear that it's NOT /co/
That that intelligence document about>making imageboards less attractive for usersto destroy the last remaining anonymous spaces online is 100% being implemented, isn't it? Like half the fucking threads on /co/ now have one very obvious (probable bot) poster permanently stationed trying to shit them up and derail discussion away from the thread's topic into meta shitflinging about whether the thread should even exist.If a post is not discussing the topic of the thread, do not respond. Ignore it. If you keep engaging with these faggots then find it's no longer possible to discuss comics and cartoons any more, remember this is the future you chose.
Do we really need SCOTUS-tier discourse around a thread that would've hit Page 10 in less than 2 hours
>>151960348>then find it's no longer possible to discuss comics and cartoons any more,GOLLY GEE ANONTHIS GARBAGE IS FUCKING NEITHER
>>151960357What is it, then? What medium would you categorize this under?>DUUHHH, POWERPOINT---So cartoons with low framerates don't count as cartoons. And regarding your comment that /a/ "wouldn't accept the Japanese equivalent as anime," look up "Twinkle Nora Rock Me."
>creator is a retard>main character is supposedly a woman that looks like a tranny stereotype>nothing of value in the series whatsoeverwho keeps spamming threads for this slop?
>>151960357>Cartoon: Visual art that is drawn and animated in an unrealistic or semi-realistic styleArgue your position, retard. This should be entertaining.
>>151960429Cartoons with low frame rates still have actual storyboards, sequences, etcA slide show is just that A fucking slide show meant to convey information through audio and visuals but never through actual motion i.e. animation

>>151960620Honestly it's more accurate to call him a minor lolcow, since he's been made fun of in the videos of actual e-celebs like Wendigoon or St Pelo
>>151960604>There's a general on /trash/ isn't there?Would you recommend the same for Obelisk and Backrooms?
>>151960691If those are actually animated cartoons and not slideshows, I don't see the issue with them on /co/That said the /trash/ general would probably give you better discussion
>>151960620>>151960658Ah typical homosexuals/their allies, looking to violate and control reputation of anybody who makes them BIG MAD by doing things like making an actual horror series instead of therapeutic fake horror
>>151960115This shit was never "realistic". It didn't have anything outright supernatural but it was also definitely well beyond the pale of realism with the murders being committed. It was similar to the original Halloween in my eyes, the killer isn't outright supernatural at first, but the idea they could be somehow lingers enough to add some suspense.I can accept the demon thing because it didn't add any supernatural element to the crimes, just the motive, and it justifies the police apparent incompetence which was a nagging issue.>>151960131Cult is inherently tied to worship. I don't see them as worshipping or doing the demon's bidding, just trying to stave it off as best they can.>>151960122Ironic comment, if you cannot engage with flawed media beyond "IT'S DUMB AND IT'S BAD" you are unironically low IQ.
>>151960115>A realistic horror story centered around a deranged cat-and-mouse game with a deranged killer.hey now let's talk about how the killers climbed up the pipes to dump a fuckton of wax on a dude
>>151960809>Cult is inherently tied to worship. I don't see them as worshipping or doing the demon's bidding, just trying to stave it off as best they can.Idk, as I said, I feel like the main reason people worshiped gods back then, and especially the Aztecs doing human sacrifice, was simply a practical way to avert natural disasters, in their mind. It wasn't worship in the way Abrahamics love their god. Religion used to be very cynical and transactional, like paying tribute to an overlord you hate

Preferred the earlier videos, honestly. Didn't like the ending.
I hate this machine shit. I wouldn't mind if the series in any way hinted at this. but it didn't it's a fucking asspull. Why can't this fucking guy just hire a writer or something?
>>151963442Maybe it's just me but shitting on the people who like what you do sounds kind of like a dumb idea?
>>151963595IMO if people still love and support your content despite getting shit on by the creator of said content, then they're the real and straight fans, Anon:Everyone else are just fake and gay!
Wish I had a Mona gf.
>>151963595It depends. Stephen King wrote Misery after his fans got mad when a book he wrote for his kids was fantasy instead of horror.Trolling the audience like that can work when you have an actual talented writer who knows how to subvert expectations in a satisfying way
Maturing is realizing UrbanSpook was actually good and mogged all other ARGs
>>151962027It could be schizophrenic ramblings, and the followup paintings are just other followers. Not all the victims bodies are accounted for so maybe Mona did to them what she did to Bill.

>>151964329This is my favourite one of the new batch.
With everyone going crazy over the "Addition" of "Supernatural" stuff and the devil theories and Supernatural theories.Has anyone considered Mona is just bat shit insane and nothing she says is real? Like, watch a bodycam video and these cracked out fucks would be spouting off half of more of the shit she spewed out. The entire police department out to get her, "The red man" using her as a host, a machine in the earth making her evil. Etc
>>151960302No, Horrorfag's been like this for years even before The Painter
