"In the beginning there were only two guardians. The governors of the world who controlled everything. Nevertheless, after some time, the war started, many atrocious things happened, one of the siblings was condemned to eternal exile, and the other sibling would govern minecraftia doubting on creating more guardians, but he decided to do so since there are too many dangers on Minecraftia."
— The 4th season trailer
Guardianes MC, or "Los Guardianes de Minecraft" note is a Mexican web series created by YouTuber Ana Pa.
111 years ago, Herobrine, who started a war against his brother Notch, was exiled to "The Great Fall" while his elite soldiers (Errors and Dark Angels) were turned into statues.
After his exile, the creatures Herobrine created to fight in the war note were left without someone to control them, which would make them a hazard. Notch, decided that 8 of his grandchildren would be "Guardians"; People with superpowers analogous to these creatures they'll be able to control. Other grandson would be the next ruler for the Central Kingdom and The remaining granddaughter would control the sun, the moon, the weather and time.
Frost, who can make those statues revert back to people, is mysteriously reverted by a guardian. Herobrine orders him to revert Eris, which will start a ripple effect that will put Minecraftia in danger once again.
The show has 55 episodes since its debut on May 21, 2015. (not counting the Prologue, S3's second Halloween special, or "Qué Pasó con los guardias?"). Although the episodes' runtime varies between 10 and 20 minutes, some special episodes have a longer runtime, reaching 36 minutes.
This show provides examples of:
- A Chat with Satan: In Episode 1x15 (Unnamed) Herobrine Talks with Ed offering him his own body separated from Endy, Edward, End and Eddie if he goes to the Seth library.
- Adults Are Useless: Steve and Alex never ground their children for going to the fire lordship knowing that could cause the liberation of Herobrine, Their deaths or a war. They don’t care about Creemer wanting to do an ambiguous prank involving dinamite in the fire lordship. They don’t care about their daughter being friends with an ex terrorist. They only ground their daughter for one month after freeing the Dark angels. They don’t suspect anything when their children go to another kingdom without guards to protect them. They don’t suspect anything when their daughter "moves to the desert kindom" despite being 17. Et cetera, Et cetera, Et cetera.
