Gather up your rail guns and crank up your angsty teenage energy, because today we're covering something brand new.

Sweet, uh, I'm open to new things, I guess.

I'm talking about Murder Drones, one of the most popular animated series across all of YouTube,

a series that has found a completely different, original way of communicating its story to us.

Instead of using found footage or Hayden Shorts videos to tell its story like most indie projects

Murder Drones is releasing get this 20 minute episodes one at a time in sequential order

What? No QR codes? No unlisted videos? Madness

Who knew that structuring your animated series like an actual animated series would feel so refreshing these days.

Hello, internet. Welcome to Film Theory. The show that locked itself behind three layers of doors to hide from the watchful eye of the algorithm drones. And ladies and gentlemen, today we're going to absolute solve the world that is murder drones.

Produced by Glitch Entertainment here on YouTube, Murder Drones tells the story of some teenage robots who have to save the universe from a rogue AI program.

And for as much as I was just praising the series earlier for its straightforward content delivery strategy,

it doesn't mean that the story is a purely linear experience. This show is filled with twists, flashbacks, and fourth wall breaks that keep you on the edge of your seat, guessing about what's going to happen next.

And that's not an exaggeration either. If you look away for two seconds, you stand to miss a hidden detail or clue buried in something as simple as flashing source code, or a class presentation, which is where I come in today.

Since this is a new series that I'd like to talk about moving forward, we are never talking about this.

Talking about what?

Like I said, since this is a new show that I'd like to talk about again sometime in the

future, I want to start by giving you all a simple, straightforward overview of the plot

and key details that'll help you fill in the gaps that you might have missed during your

first or even your 40th watch through.

I'm also going to be doing it not an episode order, but rather timeline order. The order that all the major events actually happened in the universe, since that's the way that makes the most sense,

as opposed to the twisty way it's ultimately presented in the show.

And hey, if I make a mistake along the way, just remember...
