Alphabet Lore (A-Z...)

🟢Be sure to watch the FINAL episode here (if you missed it): krplus.net/bidio/dJyEqWJ0oXzGdqQ

There’s so many little details in this, like the punctuation marks that have unique powers that reflect to the actual ones, G calling the letters in Morse Code, the word Coward when lowercase n zooms out towards f, the fact that LMNOP is a superhero team because it goes fast in the alphabet song, when N is a superhero he is Ñ, X having to multiply with an asterisk. It’s insane that a series with this many small details has so little views. Seriously underrated!
Also to those who said that this has about 20M views, this comment was written when it was around 100K.

It’s usually jokingly said in low budget one-off animations, but this story LITERALLY has themes of love, betrayal, friendship, compassion and humor. Just by watching this I have the desire to use the alphabet more often. Thank you.

Remember when this was the biggest thing and everyone was reacting to it

F really kills a lot more letters than I realized 0:14 0:21 1:14 he just makes it worse for H 1:24 1:30 3:58 4:36 6:21 7:28 that was technicly F's fault 9:29 13:05 that was also technicly F's fault

Everyone is talking about how tragic F’s story was, but what about Q. Q spent his whole life trying to warn the others, but failing only being able to tell everyone when it’s too late and all he could do is watch
Edit: We’re very close to 6.9k likes, fix that

Z's Punctuation Mark is an Ellipsis "...", used for ominous tones or silence, and Zs are usually used ti depict the sound of snoring (idk why that was always written like that). So from what we can infer is that Z is the silent watcher, asleep yet awake to see the tragedy of this civilization unfurl into chaos and treachery.

"Villians aren't born, They're made."
-Wise words of a wise man.

This makes " Villains weren't evil just broken " to a whole new level

I was expecting N to evolve into Z and kill F but they took it in a different and ultimately better direction where they humanized F and explained his actions, which also deepened the running theme of N's cowardice and gave an origin story for the punctuation marks, as well as explaining why Q was chasing them the entire time. Truly one of the masterpieces of our time.

I love how g got hit once and he's going crazy🤣

I just found out that G refers to everyone in Morse code. The attention to detail in this series is absolutely astonishing, which is even more impressive considering that this storyline apparently fell into place on complete accident (IIRC). Also happy 20k subs Mike!

Are L and O being villains based on the fact they can spell “LOL” and also L meaning loser or something? Because if so that’s some big brain character design right there

The Words:
0:59 Cab
4:19 Map
7:03 Gun
8:10 Coward
8:41 Van
9:50 Vagnum
11:28 BTW (by the way)
11:48 Friends
12:58 fart
13:33 frick

NORTH KOREA
N:uhh what did we spell
K:oh no
kim jo uh:(call the nuke)

The music at the end, Y being used as a punch-line, the letters being able to form words, the backstory, the use of the punctuations as special gems, and how the lowercase and uppercase letters meaning age. Each letter is introduced in order, you never see them before their place in the song comes up! It's all, perfect! 10/10 would watch again, anytime.
13:26 Every 2nd grader when someone says "stupid"

Why is this actually well-written and emotional. I wanted a stupid story but instead I found a masterpiece. Bravo, bravo

I just noticed with L, M, N, O, P and X’s power gems are punctuations 😮

The straight ip definition of "not all villains are evil jsut heartbroken"

I love the detail about the punctuation symbols.
Their powers reflect their function:
. can freeze letters but , can only slow down letters
! makes letters fast
; and : can bind letters together
* used as a wildcard to mean 'many' can create copies of a letter
Even how they were created in nZ makes sense:
? was created when f was thinking n betrayed them asking "why?"
! was created while f was speeding past p and g

When I was a child (and still now) I would love to make stories out of basic things like colours or cards, but everytime I would get stuck on the origin or who their parents were, that would always mess with my brain and make me feel guilty that my stories didn't make sense. But after watching this video and how Z turned out to be the planet, I realised that it's not about the biology but about the creativity.
I don't know if this will help anyone, but it helped me. Thank you Mike.
Also Q is my favorite.

Yay b is still alive!

Ahhh i seee a kid A elder😂 good one

I came to this thinking I'd see something stupid, and this is a true hidden gem. You made this so well done that it sends a great message about friendship and bullies. Z feels so bad for F in this situation, and he couldn't do snything about it since he holds all the other letters up. And F was blinded by revenge that N had to make the ultimate sacrifice and kill his only childhood friend who turned evil. Truly a masterpiece.

i like how z is pronounced with both pronunciations at once
the british "zed" and the american "zee" merged into "zeed" - its almost like both are correct but neither side wants to admit it

Amazing

9:30 X is deceased

Genuinely from the bottom of my heart this series about letters from the english alphabet has shook me to my core and permanently left an impact on my life that no other movie or tv show has ever done before.

This is the saddest, funniest, plot twisting story ive ever seen. Better than any movie that can ever exist

The show was great had very cool details like there letters say there letters and I like wen the bad guy is F because F is for FREAKY so that's pretty fitting I rate the show 7/10 very good.

1:16 this part tho 😂

The fact that "n" is repeated before "Z" as
"Y and Z" is said in the song is amazing

The attention to detail, with the Morse code, how the story fell into place, storyline, characters, the music, just wow! But I wish the infinity letters could bring everyone back…

We barely noticing that the little gems for LMNOPQX are just punctuations known as . , ; : ! * ?

Nice animation

I just realized, at 10:42, F dropped the * gem to try and lure N torwards them, so they could spell F R I E N D S without his death, but N didn't see that

Q's character was tragic, maybe even *MORE* tragic than F's story. My guy legit had to sit through the trauma of realizing what's about to happen, tries to tell the crew, but is too slow for the other letters to care. It's like looking into the future realizing your best friend is gonna die, trying to warn them, but they think your joking. That must suck *TONS*

3:14 P is So Cute❤

i like how Q barely got any screen time and didn’t get killed

Imagine a kid stumbles upon this while trying to learn the alphabet
They would end up learning all the lore and letters

I can't stop feeling emotional over this... it explains the effects of bullying perfectly. F was only trying to help n, but that same kindness caused him to turn into an alphabet killing machine. Q trying to warn them this whole time was really sad, because it was too late. F was killed by the one friend he loved and cared for the entire time. And Z having to watch all this helplessly made me cry along with him. :..( I felt super touched when the alphabet song started to play around the end of the video... A perfect story that should be turned into a movie some day!!!

This goes to show villains are not born they are made.

14:40 this part is so cute.

Q had such interesting character development, Q is seen to be this slow, snail-like character (because it's the letter after the fast l m n o p) but realizing how Q was following them and saying "Q" every time it shows up, come to find out that Q was trying to warn the other letters of the inevitable fate of all of the other letters, and every time it say "Q" it's calling out to the other letters, to warn them,
i love how x was used, it has an asterisk as their special gem and can multiply (and both the asterisk and x are used for multiplication) and then the reveal for Z, being the ground they were on the whole time,
I went into this video expecting some simple, funny stuff but nothing too much, in reality, i got a great story, great use for characters, with every little detail being intertwined with the letter. thank you Mike for blessing me with, truly, a work of art

Love how when Z says.. well, Z, it sounds like "Zeeend" which make it not only sound like the 2 pronunciations of Z (zee and zed) but also it makes it sound like "the end". Now if only they could do that with the 2 pronunciations of H (haych and aych)

J looking zesty with that pose

Very good animation❤

The fact that F gets revenge on a lot of letters in the same ways they beat him up as a kid, like stomping on I, shooting something at J, and nailing T back into the ground, or how other parts are mirrored in that section, like C biting F, just adds even more to this. It's insane that you made an animation about the alphabet that could be analyzed for hours.

I love how detailed this is, one that not many people pointed out is how H dies by smelling a fart, later on is literally farted out. So many little things make this whole video better as a whole

The way h turned into a ghost😂

All Punctuation Orb Superpowers:
Period . - Body Immobilization / Super Durability
Comma , - Lasers / Time Pausing / Body Immobilization / Combustion Inducement / Super Strength
Semicolon ; - Gravitational Control / Super Strength
Colon : - Gravitational Control / Super Strength
Exclamation Mark ! - Super Speed / Illusion Casting / Mind Control
Asterisk * - Duplication
Question Mark ? - Omniscience
Dot Dot Dot . . . - Omnipotence / Time Manipulation
There’s still - / ( ) & “ [ ] { } # _ \ | ~ < and > left as technical punctuations since they can add meaning to sentences. But I hope they don’t add / or - as it would screw up this comment because they are parts of this comment that dictate what the said superpowers are.

I love how J only has like 3 seconds of screentime before being completely obliterated

13:43 Suddenly, every single one of F's actions make sense.
First he was bitten by C, then again before killing him. Then he was shot by J, hence why he used I to blast him, he was jumped by I, which he did the same, jumped by T, whom he hammered. Then he was beaten by E using D, which is exactly what he did when he was introduced. Then he tripped G, which was what happened to set everyone in this quest, all of his tears were stolen by L, M, N, O, P and X, with Q getting a vision of what was to come.

Q in lowercase is very cute

I like what u did with z being the planet

How did they manage to make a random letter a amazing villain with an actual backstory

Alphabet's anatomy (adult form):
A - Two limbs that can function as arms and legs
B - Two wings and a nose/beak like a bird or a butterfly.
C - Two fins swimming through the air. Retractable teeth.
D - Head.
E - Head. Prominent lower jaw and a nice pompadour.
F - One leg, head with strong jaws and sharp (broken) teeth.
G - Upper limb is, in fact, a trunk. Lower one is arm. Able to speak in morse (probably high cognitive abilities).
H - Two legs and two arms. Ghost.
I - Stationary? Able to fire dots.
J - Able to fire dots? Lower end is not a limb?
K - Two wings. Insectoid.
L - Able to deflect shots? Lower end is not a limb?
M - Two limbs that can function as legs and possibly arms.
N - One leg and one arm. Knee is also top of the head, and elbow is also a nose. Mouth is located under a knee.
O - Wheel. Location of an eye can change (at least between transformations). Cyclopean.
P - One leg, head with a big chin (that perhaps may also be breasts).
Q - Slug-like body, big vertical mouth, long eyes.
R - Two limbs that can function as legs and possibly arms. Cyclopean. Shaky (mentally unstable?)
S - Snake-like body.
T - Hammer headed, shark-like body, swimming through the earth (Z's body).
U - Ends are not limbs? Slug-like eyes.
V - Ends are not legs, but they do look like arms.
W - Siamese twins. Ends are not legs, but they do look like arms.
X - Two legs. Upper ends are top of the head, but may possibly act like arms.
Y - One leg. Upper ends may possibly act like arms.
Z - Planet. Diagonal mouth, eyes have different height. Cracks. Able to speak?

Anyone remember the old streams and videos of people reacting to this😢

I love how Z is just the whole alphabets planet instead of a small letter because you'll notice how Z stands for "Zone" yet he can still see "F" suffering and do nothing but cry in sorrow for him.

Did anyone think about the fact that "H" is a ghost. I know he died from smelling a bad fart, but can we talk about the fact that the letter "H" is usually silent in a word. such as honor, hour, honest, heir, vehicle, and vehement. (but the last two kind of depend on your accent and how you say things). But "H" being a ghost in this context means that he is silent, considering you can barely hear him in his introduction, 1:09. What do you guys think?

Thats good

PRESS F TO USE YOUR FLASHLIGHT

Z looks so- Old, Tired, Sad… He was there since the very beginning. And he’ll be there until the very end. A very symbolic position for him.

This series was emotional and I’m not even lying. I genuinely started crying at the end. I was expecting some silly animations but instead I found a creative masterpiece. The fact that you took inspiration from something so simple as the alphabet and turned it into such a series with an awesome and deep lore is amazing! I really hope we see more of this and get and happy ending in the future!

0:50 G CALLES THEM IN MORSE CODE

I really miss it I haven't watched it for years

I feel bad for F and Q. F was trying to get friends but he accidently made a swear word. Which wasn’t even his fault, which lead him to be one of the most hated, spending his whole life watching everyone celebrate while he is alone in his cave… Q tries to warn the others but he’s too slow. And he’s alone too. No one to help him. And when it already happened he’s too late, he never gets any help, F for both of them

The thing that I love the most is that there's no dialogue yet it tells such a cool story and shows of so much personality in the characters. Obviously there's a few 'words' like why or gg, but these are just jokes and there's the spellings of coward and friends, but they wouldn't make sense without the context.

This story can relate to many things

Do you know that the reason why F debuted in D was because of the American grading system where it doesn't include the letter E because it meant for excellent so people would mistake it as excellence up until the 1930s letter E was dropped from the grading system

Honestly, I love that G is speaking in morse code almost the whole time. His introduction is morse code for G, he called C, A, and B all in morse code, said P in morse code, and so on and so forth.

I keep wanting more. This story is incredible and tragic, and I can’t help but crave more from this world. The attention to detail is FANTASTIC. Upon rewatches you can see things such as how F shows immense disdain for L and O specifically, the fact that F puts the gem down instead of trying to fight N showing that they want something else, and how F kills J instantly because they broke F’s teeth. But honestly since F bumped into R, R should’ve been able to tell that it wasn’t intentional.

It's so cool

As a therapist working with autistic and schizophrenic kids, if you are a parent and let your kid watch this cartoons, you are not helping

i love how F's backstory began when he was a little f and he was bullied and mistreated. he got back by spelling fart next to l, thinking it was funny, but was only mistreated once more. so to get back at them again, he spelt a "bad" word, "frick". because he spelt frick everybody thought he was a "bad letter" and he became an outcast, only to become later on, the monstrous F that died and lived as a "bad letter".
edit: he didnt spell frick on purpose, he was pushed, and then made an outcast for it

This is unironically, one of the greatest things I’ve ever watched, it’s story is compelling, it’s funny, and it’s characters are all amazing, and it’s the alphabet we’re talking about

7:34 P DIED💀

Cheer~~~~~a set of letters or symbols in a fixed order, used to represent the basic sounds of a language; in particular, the set of letters from A to Z.

The three most tragic characters:
F - He was bullied and stuck on a cave for years and just wanted to have friends again.
Q - He knew literally everything that'll happen in the future, which is already enough to probably scar someone. But he tried to warn everyone but he was too slow. And when he did, it was far too late.
Z - He is literally the entire planet. He saw every story, including this one. Imagine being immortal and not able to do anything.

7:11 the fact that he says gg before he shoots is genius

L and O were the real bad guys all along!😮 Those bullies ruined F's friendship and his childhood, and in doing so, they MADE him into the villain!😠 All F wanted was his friends back.😟 Poor F.😥

This ending always gets me…15:22

0:49 Love the detail of G calling out each letter with Morse Code. 10/10 respect

summary:
Instead of killing all the letters, F’s main goal in the series was to kidnap all the letters in “friends” (possibly to spell the word). This is because F was friends with the letters in “friends” but it almost ended because of L & O’s bullying. Once they managed to hurt N, F got payback on L&O by spelling “fart” but that only started to make F the target for bullying. L then pushed F together with R I C and K to spell a (so-called) swear word with O getting everyone’s attention. This had made all the letters hate F and thus hurt him continuously. To me, N was just there when F tripped and didn’t mean to trip him but the problem was that he betrayed F because he was a “coward” (linking back to W’s introduction) this made F cry those Punctuation Gems and separate himself from the other letters. Lastly, when Q ate the question mark, he saw what had happened in the future and tried to warn the other letters but was just too slow.
Another thing to note:
Each of the Punctuation Gems have a superpower:
Period - Freezes Someone
Comma - Makes time slower
Colon&Semicolon - Forces letters together
Exclamation Point - Super Speed
Asterisk (*) - Duplication
Question Mark - Seeing the future
edit: how tf did i get so many likes and replies

I like this video!

15:31 Z looks like he also says Zeee End

As a Spanish speaker, I absolutely adore how N turns into Ñ and even pronounces it correctly "enye"

X having the asterisk is a double reference. Obviously he multiplies because X is frequently used as the multiplication symbol, but the asterisk is also used as a multiplication sign in algebra so the letter isn’t confused for a variable.

Best serious and story

mike por que dice friends en la parte donde matan a f

My mind is blown, that was actually a really good story. One that truly made me feel sorry for F by the end. And the art style was just super iconic. Bravo!

I just realized in the "n" part, they were lower cased letters while in the other episode, they were upper cased. This means that "F" got evil after being exiled. And that the real villains were "o" and 'l"

I like it 😊

the gems of LMNOP are symbols like . , : ; ! also *

This series had a stronger emotional impact on me than most tv shows and movies nowadays. nZ made me cry, especially when baby q realized he had to warn everyone, "guys! Guys, you have to listen to me! Guys, wait!" like a modern Cassandra

14:38 is the saddest part for me, let me explain
After mostly all the letters abandoning f, Q was the only one left behind, meaning they left him behind before, Q could never catch up with them ever since childhood, and finally got to tell them the truth using the question mark jewel but it was too late, finding everyone dead, q has the same expression on his face, tiredness, and sadness. Notice how Q, L, and O were one of the only main letters left behind, my theory is that F is going to come back from the jewel he used from X, cloning himself. And finally take revenge on L and O, possibly foreshadowing what they did to him, just like all the other letters. F pushes L and rolls over O or flattening O. But leaves Q unharmed, because Q never acted violent against F since he was too slow. Back to 14:38, you can see Q’s eyes shot up and moving a bit, showing he just saw trauma nobody wished they had, Q tries his hardest to try and get to the other letters, to warn them about impending doom, but he was always too slow. Also if you see it from F’s perspective you can see Q far behind and N hiding behind the formed word Coward, O was the only one in that word that bullied N, explaining why N is behind O and only O, also before that you get to see the form ABCDE but no F, meaning F is gone in the alphabet to them, and G couldn’t take F’s place since he was with P. Everyone forgot F and Q, and all Z can do is watch their life, while he can’t have a life. You truly did an amazing job getting emotional feeling into this story
