Also, Zephyr constantly attacks people in his song, while Antrius only attacks Zephyr's skills and him personally. Antrius never needs to include personal remarks to anyone else to win, because he is confident that Zephyr's flaws would be enough, while Zephyr doesn't even try to win fair and square. Basically Antrius came to have an actual discussion, while Zephyr tries to win a debate with insults, which is also found in people with lower self esteem

Relistening to this and I'm pretty sure Zephyr never says anything good about himself, like he only insults Antrius, Evandra, and Nixie as opposed to Antrius who spends at least half or more of his time singing about how greay Antrius is. Liek he still insults Zephyr, but he's mostly focused on prasing himself.

y'know, I love insult wars as an artform, and there's an interesting detail I noticed about rap battles: In contrast to Epic Rap Battles of History, the knock-offs are mostly just a string of generic insults, potty humor and swearing. No wit, no class, no hitting your opponent right where it hurts, and certainly no double-point lines where you hit your opponent and praise yourself with the same set of words. ERB does it right. I've seen a Disney Princess rap battle that did it right ("What's my name? Belle. What's it mean? Beauty. I'm the perfect combination of brains and booty"), and earlier tonight I ran across a rap battle between Peter Quill and Cap'n Jack Sparrow that was *glorious* -- witty, fast-paced, well acted, with incredible visuals. I was stunned because, like I said, when I went looking for other people doing what ERB was doing, I found nothing but potty humor and pointless insults. And the thing with this piece is, Zephyr is doing exactly that -- "You suck, let me compare you and your friends to a dick and a turd and a fart and a 'splooshy'" (thanks, Click) -- and yet not only are the lines cleverly written ("You think you're a god? please, you're a codpiece" is inspired) but the character portrayal is designed around this lack of wit. Which puts a huge spin on things and leaves me enjoying it more than I'd expected to. And now you've made me appreciate it more by pointing out a detail I hadn't yet picked up on, the distinction in quality between the two sets of lyrics. That's beautiful. P.S. Besides wit, the other quality an insult war tests is Poise -- hearing the insults without losing your cool, and being able to gather your wits enough to strike back, maybe twist your opponent's words around to attack them back. Zephyr completely fails that by the end here.
“It’s the two in the back that are ever slightly blurred!” GENIUS!

I love how the lighting shifts - the more Antrius gets beat down, the more Zephyr's blue light invades the space. Up until the final song he dominates the camera, even when Antrius sings. When Antrius sings about friendship, the light is all his golden warmth while the blue of Zephyr is utterly gone. It's very much having the camera support the story.

Love this one! It's catchy, on point, a series of highlights of different emotional states. Zephyr is quite cool, while also you hate him and later feel awkwardly sorry. Antrius ist his natural self-praising self while also adorable when giving in to cheat-defeat. Then the turn for friendship only for seconds later to fall for self-praise again. Love it. Tells so much of a story in just some few minutes.
I absolutely love how the DM in the fantasy sketches gets back at the players through the NPC's, the little slap in the face was hilarious

@@immortalxhyena5008 thank you so much ☺️
if you guys ever do a movie musical, I would totally donate to a Kickstarter for that.
I love the "Leave Zephyr alone!" bit such a great call back to a funny vid. If you know, you know.
Well oil me up and call me Greg, this is just fantastic!! When do we get a 1FA movie!?!?!

I bet that they'd crush a 10 to 15 minute episode style. Maybe with 10 episodes per season. Keeping the purview of satirizing D&D logic and poking fun at player/character perspectives is vital IMO. I do like the idea of making an entire, linear campaign as the milieu of one season, though 😁 Kind of the best of both a movie and a season combined.

THIS WAS AMAZING! Oh my gosh! The lvl of lines, puns, special effects, costumes, jokes, camera angles more and more. Seriously it is amazing! I watched it more than three time in a row. I love the color/light using in the video. And the quality is amazing! An amazing Riff...eh Bard off!
Can't get over how perfect that ending (form 5:38 onwards) was! And that perfect "Get out of my house" was a chef's kiss!
Been going thru some hard times and this video, as light hearted, silly and fun as it is. Has helped immeasurably. I could very well be applying far too much meaning to this song, but when Antrius sings "I'm not done son". I just feel it reverberate in my own mind and it lifts my spirits just a little bit.

Hell yeah brother, hang in there! Time for your valiant reprise! ❤
As a musician, I can confirm that this is a certified bop. (Seriously though, great job guys!)
This is great and I love Zephyr as a character, I Hope they bring him back in a Khan like rivalry
Antrious music fr gets me high. I wish There was a full version.

I've re-watched this like twenty times now. It's just so good
I like how we're one episode in this season and the DM is already done with them.

Damn, Thomas and Matthew have some pipes! Not only was it a great battle, but they can both actually sing. Kudos. Seeing a new episode from you guys always makes me happy. Thank you.
Love that you invited local cosplayers! @3:40 🖤

Same, and the funny thing is that Nixie is my favorite.
Great job to everyone in this banger of an episode and a shout out to Zephyr every show needs good antagonists!
Zephyr and Antrius enemies to bigger enemies 24k slowburn (the burning is FIREBALL)
This was absolutely fantastic! The singing itself, but also the incorporation of various spells for comedic effects was on point!
The friendship song gave me chills, that was some great composing
I think i'm in love with the character Zephyr and the actor xd
This is the new national treasure from Australia move over Crocodile Dundee , Deerstalker Pictures is the new national treasure.
The snow elf gives off major bratty bottom vibes.

dayuuuum I did not expect bardcore rap from Antrius, that was so amazing! And Zephyr's magic is so fun to watch! The lines are all awesome! Had to pause multiple times to react to what they say!
Now this is truly epic! So glad to have supported the kickstarter

Someone else noticed the Owlchemist, I thought I was the only one! No sign of recognition on the trailer to season 5 tho
I’ve always been a bass singer and never really been super proud of my voice but this has reignited my passion for singing and I wanna get back into it now.
I have to give a shout out to the crew and specifically the lighting department. To my recollection, this is the best lit and most atmospheric episode yet. Well done!
Did not wake up today wanting a bard rap battle, but here we are and it was beautiful. Also props to the guest, he was amazing, the zone of truth bit was my favorite part, but he slayed it throughout ^^
"You hairless little sprite!" Lol Antreus knew about the wig

Amaaaaaaaazing quality, sound, lighting, cinematographt, directing, story, lyrics, dancing, crowd, can't stop re-watching it! 🥺🥳🥳🥳
If all the series became an Antreus musical, I'd be there for that.
Not gonna lie I have definitely added Antrious, Evandra, and Nixie to our D&D campaign as NPC's and have definiely used this as a random encounter for a tavern
Brilliant!!! As a bard main, there's sooooo much to love about this!!! Very very well done!! I look forward to seeing more of your stories!! (And yay for Miss Twisted/Juni making a brief appearance in this!!
you guys you GUYS OMG YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELVES this. is. THE. BEST. EPISODE. YET. a masterpiece. this is high art. freakin brilliant. I'm freaking out how good this is. I got chills. I can't even handle this.
Holy fuck this quality... Deerstalker is flying really high! NICE!
Love the DM at the end, "Get out of my house..." clearly sick of everyone's shenanigans. Must admit after 24 hour plus gaming sessions back in the day I've been told to do that too...
