History Headscratchers / AnimatorVsAnimation

* Where's the Animator gone? I get that he trusts the Second Coming and his friends completely, but he's been absent since ''Animator vs. Animation 4''. It's especially JustForFun/{{egregious}} with the newest videos: ''Note Blocks'' had the stick figures playing music really, really loudly at 4 a.m., with the speakers up to 100, and ''Command Blocks'' would've bricked the computer (again!) if the Second Coming hadn't made it to the Restart button.
** Presumably he's out and about doing other stuff for most of them (it'd be unreasonable to think he'd be home on his computer all day every day), and just leaves the computer open for the stick figures to play around in whenever he's gone. As for ''Note Blocks'', maybe the computer is in a workroom separate from his bedroom, so even at volume 100%, it was far enough away to not wake him up. Or maybe he's just a ridiculously HeavySleeper. Also, in ''Command Blocks'', the worst that seemed to be happening was an InterfaceScrew, not necessarily physical damage to the computer that Alan, worst-case scenario, couldn't fix with a hard reset (though the animations would have still had to explain that mess to him).
** He must have heard you, because the latest short is ''Animator vs Animation'' once again.

* Does ''Build Battle'' take place right after ''Note Block Battle''? Because if not, uh... is The Second Coming okay? There's being bored, and then there's being physically unable to stay awake for more than a few seconds after a timer starts.

** A new answer is available given the events of ''[=AvM=] Shorts'' Season 3; Purple was already working for King at the time. He went there to either get the Master Block early and also to get revenge on the Stick Gang. When he saw the Second Coming attacking his crystal(?), he remembered the Parkour Course and realised something; If he wins, the Stick Gang will never trust him again and thus won't follow him through the portal (notice that Purple never tries to kill the Stick Gang, and only tries to beat them in a game; He was never homicidal, just [[EvilIsPetty petty]]). If he loses, he can use CrocodileTears to get their sympathy ([[BatmanGambit knowing that's what they will do]]), fake a HeelFaceTurn and thus make them go through the portal when they cross paths again (he uses the same tactic when he sees them going back home in "The Witch"). While he did abandon the Master Block, it was a sacrifice he had to make for the plan to succeed. In short, Purple was just a ManipulativeBastard.

** Maybe he hadn't redownloaded it because he didn't want to alarm the Second Coming or make him relive any bad memories (that might or might not come from it.) Besides, it is shown that the Animator and the stick figures have stacked quite a high level of trust after the events of 4, and the Animator may not have expected any other threats to be more powerful than something he had named "The Chosen One".

** A third theory is that the Animator never removed Avast, but instead marked the Animations as "safe" so that Avast would ignore them in future scans with the antivirus. [=ViraBot=] was made by the Dark Lord, who was in turn made by the Animator. Since the Dark Lord was the creator of [=ViraBot=] and had Noogai as his first target, he may have tailor-made [=ViraBot=] to sneak by Avast. You can even see Avast in ''The Rediscovery'' as The Second Coming scrolls through the Start menu in search of Minecraft.
* How the hell does the ''[=YouTube=]'' part make sense? With ''Animation vs. [=YouTube=]'' it's at least justified since the video was from a few years ago, but here, it's a video that shows scenes from ''moments ago''.

* In ''Piglin War'', why didn't Blue just grab the master Minecraft block and spawn a ton of Nether Wart with Creative Mode?

* In ''Parkour'', what would've happened if one of the sticks got three wins before the final stage? Would it have ruined King's entire plan, or were the stages specifically crafted so that each of the five would win the same number of them? Moreover, why didn't King not include the competition aspect and instead just have the stick figures distracted playing infinite parkour courses? That seems like it would have trapped them for far longer...

* Also in ''Parkour'', why did King even need the Master Block in the first place? The command block on his staff can already place (and break) blocks, even blocks in certain shapes such as waterlogged, upside-down stairs or slabs, etc. Not to mention the staff can even [[DeaderThanDead send a mob's AI to limbo]], manipulate an entity's position and amongst all other things command blocks can do.
** The Master Block can give you an infinite amount of Command Blocks, and as Herobrine showed, giants that mimic your movement, among many others. And the picture for King's plan shows that the Master Block has some unknown, even larger power. A Command Block is powerful, but there's AlwaysABiggerFish.

** The Master Blocks seem to be capable of generating a black hole (or a giant void when combined) when used with the staff, something that the Command Black almost certainly cannot do.

* How many master blocks are there? Because when they take the icon from Alexcrafter's computer, it has the same powers that the main one, suggesting that every icon on every PC hold the same power. But if that's the case, why the Minecraft Mystery book indicate its location as unknown and why the King wants the main one so badly if he could just go on another computer just like TSC does?
** Perhaps the Stick Figure world and the desktop are (mostly) isolated areas, and/or that trading items found on desktops is considered black-market trading; King bought a command block in an alleyway after all, and we already know how dangerous a command block can be. Plus, it's possible it was done on purpose to discourage attempting to obtain a very dangerous and deadly weapon. If the master block can be used to create a black hole (albeit when combined with King's staff or an alternative), well, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt you know how it will end if it goes into the wrong hands]].
* In the first Animations vs Minecraft, Herobrine needed the Master Block to create and control the giant obsidian monster. In The King however he can do that and more other thing without the block. So why he needed it in the first place?
** Unlike other instances in the original [=AvM=], Herobrine isn't seen gesturing with the Master Block to build the cobblestone or obsidian mechas. It's possible that's something he can do without it, it's just not something he does until it's clearly necessary.
* In ''[=PvP=]'' and ''Animation vs. Minecraft'', the stick figures lose hearts when they're damaged and can be killed and respawn. Then how come, in the other shorts, they can sustain devastating amounts of damage and still keep on fighting?
** From the looks of it, they lose hearts when hit with weapons or by mobs from Minecraft itself. Anything outside of that doesn't play by Minecraft's rules when it comes to damage.
* In ''[=The Chef=] '', the stick figures go to the Chef Villager so they could ask him for the cook book they need to learn how to make food. But he refuses to give them it until they traded some dishes for it. But how did the stick figures know how to make those dishes without even having a recipe for it? Did they just figure out what to do just by looking at the meals themselves? Because that is pretty impressive.

* If they were so hungry throughout ''The Chef'', why didn't the stick figures just make extras of what they were trading so they could eat some and still have enough to trade? Blue could have easily made more flour and syrup for more pancakes, and there was still plenty of tomato sauce left in the cauldron for more pizzas.
* In "[=The King=]", why does King have all those knives to throw at the minecraft poster? Being the loving father he was he couldn't have those knives around his child, and its not like he was walking home and bought some knives just to throw at a poster.

** Maybe The Chosen One didn't want to spend more time in alan's pc than he had to because he has stained memories from being tortured by him for long.

** that is a {{Breaking the Fourth Wall}} moment.

** Those knives are from the kitchen which he uses for cooking meals.
