History YMMV / AnimatorVsAnimation

** With the popularity of Alan's channel, you'd think that a Red, Green, Blue, Yellow stick figure first debuted Animator vs. Animation IV with Purple being relatively new, right? But you'd be wrong. The concept of a Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Purple stick figure on Alan's channel predated months before IV with this [[https://youtu.be/nbXTR_S2o70 video]].

** For those who were agreeing with the TakeThat against the annoying ads in ''[=Animation vs. YouTube=]'', more recent viewers would note that the ads would become even more annoying in the years to follow.

** [[spoiler: Turns out Victim was the one who put a bounty on the Chosen One's head.]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: The ''[=AvM=] Shorts'' have attracted many new young viewers who don't know about the original ''Animator vs. Animation'' videos that came out years before these short episodes. As a result, those fans were confused when seeing the ''[=AvA=] Shorts''.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: The students of monster school are complete assholes to [[ButtMonkey Red]] as they make it a living hell for him in monster school, from sabotaging Red to excel in Herobrine's classes, pretending to help him, disregarding Red despite being helpful to them, and making fun of him for failing, even to the point where they'll all work together and focus more on beating up Red for hindering them rather than finishing the final test despite being on separate teams. Likewise, major antagonists such as The Dark Lord and King Orange are admirable and are found ''way'' likeable.

** The Witch, despite being a one shot character, is incredibly awesome due to her badass fighting skills.skills down to her sword fighting as well as her potion arsenal.

** The Witch also can't be hated due to her awesome fighting skills.

** The orange stick figure is canonically called the Second Coming. However, most viewers are split between calling the Second Coming by his canon name (sometimes omitting the "The"), or just calling him "Orange" to fit the others. [[spoiler:This got a bit awkward when another orange stick figure was revealed. Some viewers compromised by calling the new one "Basic Orange"[[note]]He has the small, solid-colored head of the fighting stick figures instead of the Second Coming's larger, hollow-colored head.[[/note]], "Big/Tall Orange" or "Orange Giant"[[note]]He towers over the other stick figures.[[/note]], "King Orange"[[note]]He wears a crown and rules over the Piglin Brutes[[/note]], "Evil Orange"[[note]][[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He's orange and evil]].[[/note]], "Dark Orange"[[note]]He's a darker shade of orange than the Second Coming[[/note]], or "[[TomtheDarkLord Mango Tango]]"[[note]]Fans gave him this nickname from a hexcode site.[[/note]]. Then it got even more complicated when "The Raid" revealed that his name is actually King, rendering every other name he had before a Fan Nickname.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: "Animation vs. Arcade Games" features a fictional emulator named "Classic Arcade Game Emulator". All programs up to this point have been based in reality, so this is a strange exception. It would have made more sense to have it be MAME, an actual well-known emulator for arcade games.

** [[spoiler:[[WoobieDestroyerofWorlds The King]] is a vengeful stick figure who seeks the destruction of the Minecraft world for losing his son in a simulation of the game. Researching everything there is to the game, the King constructs his own enchanted rod, seeks out the Master Block to accomplish just that, and manipulates Purple to retrieve it for him. The King stops at nothing to destroy the world, fighting off the Stick Gang, their ally mobs, and even Herobrine and Purple [[OneManArmy all on his own and winning]]. Whenever he's outnumbered or surrounded, the King uses quick thinking and distractions to turn the tables and immediately get the upper hand again. Nearly succeeding in his quest, The King only is stopped when he has a [[HeelFaceTurn change of heart]], gives up his rod and Master Block, and instead embraces Purple as a son, ultimately getting something better in the end.

** The Second Coming accidentally killing Green in ''PvP''? Sad and tragic. The Second Coming & Blue killing Green again when he surprises them? Hilarious!

** Who would've though Alan would do a ''WebAnimation/MonsterSchool'' episode?
