** Even if they wanted to, not everyone that was involved is still there, and the unfinished animation may have been a large draw of their resources that resulted in creative burnout. Lewis has even admitted to ArtistDisillusionment at one point.

** Braeburn does actually appear in Granny Bacon's Funeral though, and Icaria was the focus of the mod spotlight videos before that premise became [=YogLabs=], so maybe they were planning to bring that plot thread back should it appear in the series proper. The livestream party following The Legend of Verigan even had the heroes tour Icaria, showing it was gonna be important later.

** While both are blind, Lewis knew the series would be scripted from the beginning. Simon was largely in the dark about ''any'' script, and only had to be told it was scripted when he expressed worry about potential hackers. Now the both of them heavily improvise their scripts.




to:

** Israphel has a fair bit of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, where he spent a lot of time trolling Xephos and Honeydew while the series was finding its footing and before he became a KnightOfCerebus. Some incongruities could be blamed on the need for a story reason to reach Terrorvale (those heroes weren't just gonna run off to Terrorvale without incentive, you know).

* So in Duncan and Kim's "Flux Buddies", there's an moment where they go into a dwarven mine and end up killing dwarves in said mine. They end up [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regretting it immediately]] claiming that they had just slaughtered a bunch of innocent dwarves and then later did their best to [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain never bring it up again]]. Um, did they not see that the dwarves were clearly labelled as hostile mobs and therefore would've attacked them anyway even if they didn't attack them first?

** Maybe they were afraid because Honeydew is one, and they didn't want to tell him they killed his people.

** Multiplayer servers often have server commands available for quick transportation. Simon and Lewis use teleport all the time, but flying is another available option. You can see Peva3 use it during the Granny Bacon's Funeral video. Simon likely just got impatient to get on to the next quest location and made up the "television powers" to hand wave his cheating away.

* Is there even any point to continuing with the Shadow of Israphel series? The story was supposed to take place in the Minecraft universe, but [[TechnologyMarchesOn as Minecraft cintinues to get new updates]] (even having it own NPC's with which you may do business), Shadow of Israphel just starts to look more and more like a glorified adventure map.

* I've noticed in Moon Quest Lewis seems to be a lot more easily agitated and quicker to frustration, more likely to berate Simon and Duncan for being slow or screwing up rather than earlier games where he was more patient and even found them hilarious at times. Especially in the last twenty or so episodes. It may just be me or maybe it's part of a story they're building up to like when Lewis left in Tekkit, but he seems to snap at them more often.

** Have you ''seen'' Gamechap's channel lately? There was a reddit thread where it was pointed out how awful their content was, the Yogscast likely had a look and then shortly cut the association.

** Going into WMG territory here, but I think he said he did it to through suspicion off him, because Sjin was one of the two he wanted to "kill" for destroying the old world. If he were to bring up the old world and how Sjin helped destroy it, he might not have been taken in by the two.

* Here's one. At the end of the first series they go and do a survival island thing. Now, IRL I can understand this, but we see Old_Peculiar come in and rescue them off the island. So my question is... In story, how did they get on the island in the first place?

*** I had been referring to how Braeburn and the gold music disc have devolved into WhatHappenedToTheMouse. If the guys lost the disc, which they were supposed to bring to Braeburn in Icaria City - whenever they get there - then they already failed that bit. Though for all we know it'll just lead up to a BrickJoke where they arrive, realize they don't have the disc, have an OhCrap moment, and run to get a new one.

*** Don't have the episode number on hand, Rythian said he accidentally destroyed the old world in Sips and Sjin's videos more than once, before blaming the events of the Tekkit War in his own series.



* On a similar note to my above headscratcher, what about Father Braeburn and the gold music disc? By this point, Simon and Lewis have almost definitely lost the music disc, and we haven't heard from Braeburn since.

**** Swampy seems more competent than Fumblemore, and possibly more sane; he may be an exaggerated hippie, but he ''does'' have some powerful magic, while everything Fumblemore does just blows up, implying that he is still in training.



** Sjin did it with Duncan's reactor (and Duncan set of a pair of nukes at Sjin's home). Unless I missed/forgot one of them saying something, I don't see why you would think Rythian was to blame.

*** Personally, I thought they were twins. Though, could you explain why you think Swampy is older? I'm just curious.



* The Sips/Sjin Tekkit series and Rythian series seem to contradict each other. Did Rythian blow up the old Tekkit world with a nuclear reactor, or did Sjin do it to Duncan's reactor during the Tekkit War videos?
