A DISTORTION'S TRIAL [the magnus archives MV] (FLASHING WARNING)

is is perfec,t i absolutely love it!!

This is so good!!

On this video at least 200 views are for sure mine

I want this animatic injected into my bloodstream :)))))

The colors in this???? I'm so in love with your art style

years ago i got this in my recommended and its what pushed me to listen to tma. thank you.

do not read this if you are a Helen distortion enjoyer







I HATE HELEN SO MUCH. LIKE I GENUINELY DESPISE HER WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY BEING. DON’T GET ME WRONG, SHE’S AN ABSOLUTE GIRLBOSS WITH AMAZING CHARACTER DESIGN, I JUST CANNOT PHYSICALLY AVOID THE FACT SHE SLAUGHTERED MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. I WAS SO EXITED FOR MICHAEL’S STATEMENT, SO EXITED AND HAPPY HE WAS FINALLY GETTING THE SCREEN TIME HE DESERVED, HOPING HE WOULD GET MORE IN THE FUTURE. BUT GUESS WHAT HAPPENS? HE SCREAMS A SCREAM I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FORGET BECAUSE OF HELEN. SHE KILLED HIM. SHE KILLED HIM AND I HATE HER. IF THEY HAD INTRODUCED HER IN ANY OTHER WAY, LITERALLY ANY OTHER WAY, I WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER. BUT NO. HER INTRODUCTION WAS MERCILESSLY SLAUGHTERING MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE SERIES.

therefore, I hate Helen

sorry I went on a rant I just really don’t like Helen

but yay! Michael! and super cool animation! :)

if i commited violence because of this animation would that be fine with you (positive)

listening to tma for the first time and my friend sent me this video after I finished episode 101. THIS COOKS. THIS IS SO GOOD. You cooked an entire 5 course meal with this video. I cannot express in language how much this video supremely KICKS ASS. Thank you this is dope

i have a phobia of blood tests due to a couple bad experiences. i needed one for a couple different tests and in the two week wait while i was crying myself to sleep every night, i found this. tma is the best podcast ever and ive been looking for helen for ages in an animatic. today i watched this while i was having it and it calmed me down so much. thank you.

Oh this frekin rules

You fancy a smoke?

I love Helen with my whole entire heart. Gatekeep gaslight girlboss

I have no idea what's going on bc my hyper fixated friend sent me this so if someone can inform me plz do. But the animation and the aesthetic of this is so cool

Most hype thing was finishing 101 and finally being able to watch this

Wow. I am stunned. ❤❤❤

Micheal in a winter coat :'c

Raise your hand if you know nothing about this and yet love watching the animatics.

🖐🏻

Love how the spiral just yassifies you

This video is crack and I am an addict, shits been on repeat consistently for like a few weeks now. I think I could probably recall the whole thing from memory atp. I think the spiral may have me, boys.

AAA I LOVE YOUR DESIGNS SO SO MUCHHHHH AAAAA MICHEAL AND HELEN AND MICHAEL AND EVERYONE AND THE ANIMATION ITCHES THE BRAIN /pos AND THE SONG AND EVERYTHING

Absolutely incredible I always revisit this it's just that awesome

this is the video that got me into TMA

im literally watching this over and over on repeat ITS SO CHEWY I LOVE IT

Bro when she becomes the distortion you can still see pain in her eyes. I’m not sure if this was purposeful but damn she looks like she doesn’t want to be doing that. Even though she passed the trial she was doomed to never be herself again. (Although she was a Tory sooooooo)

This is so perfect!! Nobodys mentioned it but i love how confused Helen looks when shes taking over Michael, like she doesn't want to or doesn't know why its happening. its just so goooood!! I could seriously do an entire presentation analyzing this

ohohoho this is so damn good i discovered this only 39 minutes ago and im already in my fourth rewatch

Without looking at the comments, you wouldn’t know how Pride culty this community is.

Being gay is 100% the only personality trait here😂

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Helen (both Distortion and normal) depicted like that. Very nice!

I like the image of Helen actually attacking him instead of him just screaming and metaphysically dissolving away

I have rewatched this.. soo many times. its just soo freaking cool as hek!

eternally fascinated by tim appearing every time the "zombie" is mentioned in the song,,,

me when i watch this video for the 12837120938218th time in a month

Oh my god literally cannot describe how much I love this- I’ve just been replaying it it scratches my brain just right

amazing art i'm honestly in love with your interpretations of these characters!!!

This is the animatic that got me into TMA and I can't believe you did that to me.

I'm just in love with the art style in this MV so much bro

RIP Michael he would’ve loved Uzumaki

My favourite part is Helen Distortion's face having a slight tinge of pain in it at the very end, despite her smile. She didn't want it, she had to if she didn't want to be consumed by the corridors.

Perfect. Beautiful. Wonderful. I love it.

This may be a hot take, but I think Helen is pale with blonde curly hair like Michael. I also think the distortion specifically targets pale people with curly blonde hair because it fits a certain “uncanny valley” aesthetic.

I also think that since Helen was a Tory, she wouldn’t be a poc. (Yes I’m aware that poc can still be conservatives but idk, I just don’t see it with Helen).

No hate to people with a different headcanon than mine, though! I love all forms of distortion fanart at the end of the day and this video is excellent!

I rewatch this all the time. Best AMV I have seen of TMA. Best matchup of music and visuals with the actual events. A+ portrayals of the characters. LOVE LOVE LOVE Helene's design particularly. All the little details. So good. >W<

thank you so much for feeding my micheal distortion obsession

HOLY SHIT
SHE MADE A MAP
And when she came back she followed it
...
That is so cool the attention to detail holy shit

OH MY GOD ITS TRUE… HE HAS THE APPLE BOTTOM JEANS 😰😰

Your character design is on point with what i imagined.

I LOVE THIS TAKE ON HOMEGIRL HELEN SO MUCH AGH AND THIS IS SO BRIGHT AND SNAPPY I LOVE IT SO
