My thoughts on the Inanimate Insanity Finale.
MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING!
This will contain major spoilers for Inanimate Insanity II! You might want to watch the show and then get back to it if you do not want to get spoiled, especially since this is the first part of the finale. Or see the spoilers. Personally, I don't really mind spoilers.
[Insert Adult Swim Joke Here]
First, we start off with MePhone 3GS stealing the baby Shimmers. If you decided to spoil yourself, and do not know who the Shimmers are, the Shimmers are the egg aliens that Steve Cobs ordered the MePhones to steal from. 3GS was the only MePhone able to sucessfully steal two of them, but was shattered by a Shimmer in retaliation, which is how he got his crack.
Also, remember when Toilet got attacked by MePhoneX? Well, It turns out he probably died!
This is because Pickle, OJ, and Nickel were attacked by the same MePhoneX, and became lifeless objects. Pickle's MeLife button was even removed, so MePhone can't bring them back. Pickle's death shocked me the most due to Taco's reaction. Soap was also MIA after her interaction with Mic, which involved her deleting a photo of her and Mic. Is she permadead? Is she going to win Inanimate Insanity? Someone on discord did point that out.
Speaking of winning Inanimate Insanity, the challenge for the final two, Suitcase and Knife, is to defeat Steve Cobs. Like Blueberry said in Inanimate Insanity Invintational, MePhone likse to make his personal problems into a challenge. Suitcase and Knife reach the MeCloud and are brainrotted by this banger of a villian song! I get major Hamilton vibes from this one. The song is called "Me\The Future Is So Yesterday." I really love the OST of Inanimate Insanity, and Indie OST in general.
Paintbrush, Fan, and Test Tube then enter the Purgatory Mansion. Test Tube thought Bow and Dough were holograms, or that she was hallucinating, but mainly a hologram because MePhone said they were holograms. They also find Apple and Marshmellow. Speaking of Bow, I am curious about the fact that we didn't see Bot yet, since III was confirmed to be real with the apperances of Cabby, Goo, and Candle. Maybe they will appear in the second part of the finale due to her special origin.
Suitcase and Knife then enter the storage room, and find out that 3GS is alive, which is suprising, since one of MePhone's memories are him shutting down painfully, which I thought was him dying. 3GS reasonably looks very traumatized and regretful, and doesn't want to be left behind by them and for them to try to defeat Steve Cobs, because he is afraid of him.
Of course, they go to Steve Cobs' office anyway. Steve Cobs starts yapping to the two about how MePhone picked them for his Reality Show, and reveals that he knew about it all along, and was watching them. He also was behind some of the contestants being deleted. And how were they able to permamently kill them? As it turns out, MePhone generated the contestants, and the show leaves us on a cliffhanger. I had a small theory about this happening, or at least him being able to create contestants, but I didn't think that would really happen, so it still shocked me. This really does explain why Cabby can't remember her parents, thats because the only contestant with parents is Bot, who was created by Fan and Test Tube instead.
Overall, I'm excited for the second part of the finale!
