This episode completely illustrates why i always felt grossed out by people using nostalgia as an excuse to exert themselves or deny pain. We can never move on by thinking and living simpler times, it may hurt but we have to confront our pains and face the reasons we lay around and do nothing all day. For me it was being denied that i was in pain, being abused and forced to stay in contact with my abuser for the majority of my life, it hurt too much so i just sat down and played games all day, but eventually i broke my cycle and confronted the abuse, cut off those who hurt me, and moved on. I am now literally making rockets.

Glad you moved on, but I believe we should try not to cast judgment on one another. I had a rough life too, and it is very easy for me to move on into something new and recreate myself. My brother is a completely different person that lived through a lot of the same things I did, just through a different lens...he isn't able to do that(rn anyway), so he is similar to the guys in the video. I don't judge him because I know what he's been through, I do push him to be the star I know he can be though. It's not always as simple as "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps ". Sometimes it's more complicated. I see it as life's not a sprint, for most it's a marathon. Some people just take time to realize their actual potential, ya know?!

Tbh I think I needed this. I never saw this video till now but I really needed to see this. 3 years ago I lost my only brother and I dove head first into the nostalgia of the 90s. It made me feel at peace, thinking of the memories of when we were kids and the feelings that came with it. It got so bad I was spending majority of my funds to this addiction and only putting money away for bills. This was a wake up call for me. I need to look forward, I need to stop looking back

Honestly, loss never really stops hurting. But, we can still get better. It's ok to hurt when it comes. It's ok to feel empty when you miss who is gone. But only by feeling the pain do we let that lots become a part of ourselves. And that's something that we can carry in honor of those who left before us. We loved them. We still do. It hurts to love them, but that's ok.

Really love the subtle message of facing *reality* near the end for Melvin.

Women's rights, now they r forced to have men in their spaces even prison cells. Locked up with male sex offenders that force themselves on them. Ukraine, 150 THOUSAND gone. I mean it goes on and on.

This one almost made me cry! I absolutely love the detail of the gamer dudes crawling around like monsters. I especially love the change in animation when Melvin starts to become corrupted. He’s sort of squishy and cute despite being an unappealing character to look at. Beautiful and meaning work~

This reminds me of that one scene from the labyrinth where Sarah almost got caught up with that creepy goblin lady that tried to trap her in collecting things on her back

I’m so glad that Melvin’s Macabre almost always ends with a happy or satisfying ending because of how much shit Melvin gets put through. Episode 1 ended with him solving the problem with the voice in his head, Episode 2 ended with everyone getting saved and blowing Robby to smithereens, and Episode 3 ended with Melvin moving on from his best friends death and accepting that he is gone. I hope you make more of these because it’s genuinely stunning storytelling.

I love this video, I think it's good to point out the downsides of nostalgia and how some people depend on it so much. I didn't actually expect this to tackle nostalgia and the people chasing it in the way it did. I kind of relate to this video in a different way since I don't feel nostalgia because of loss of memories and concussion, and I see everyone else always chasing nostalgia and I think people should just focus on moving forward in life. Good episode I love this show and I think it's good a lot of interesting takes and messages.

That is some absolute genius subtext. You get right to the heart of a lot of the reason we collectors collect...to relive flashes of a simpler more pure time in our lives. A Time perhaps where we felt like we mattered most. But you're right it can become an all-consuming deity of its own, and one that can eventually take over if you let it. Sapping our lives of real ongoing experiences or meaningful connections. Deep powerful stuff.

Nostalgia eventually betrays you. You can only spend so long on killing the noise in your head instead of sitting with the feelings and thoughts. Before you realize, the things you used to enjoy don't feel as good anymore. The noise comes back because while you were hiding from it, it only grew worse. You look at yourself in the mirror with disgust but can't stop neglecting your mental health because you've always been like this, and it is easier to be miserable than it is to make a change.

“Hell is actually real”

I absolutely love that one of the fish Melvin has at the end is the sickly-looking fish that the collectors had in their tank. It's just an extra touch to an already-sweet ending.

Hey meat canyon, i dont know if youre ever gonna read this comment but thanks for making this animation along with your team. It really gave me perspective about holding on to joyful things I lost and the idea of letting go feeling more of an appreciation rather than a desperate attempt to never feel hurt again. I find it so invigorating how you perfectly visualise the concept of memories having power to trap you or push you forward in life. Whenever the scenary changes grey for Melvin, it signifies memories. You can be haunted by it, use coping mechanisms to shut the pain out and be obsessed with shutting pain out. Or, you can simply appeciate that theres still good memories in those darkest moments that makes you stronger to face reality in the present. Its not an easy thing to do if someone in the present is stuck with little to no control over negative events in their life. But to escape is to rejuvenate so you can come back to face reality stronger, however, if youre not careful, it can trap you forever. Beautifully done, meat canyon. Beautifully done.

Can I be real for sec, this is like the best episode ever. To show the effect of nostalgic escapism and comfort through these characters is awesome storytelling. Good job PapaMeat.

Escapism is good, but dedicating your whole life to a false reality can be harmful. Excellent animation as always!

I know these dont get as much views as your other video's, but I genuinly believe the melvin stuff is the best thing you've ever made on this channel. Excellent work

How quality writing, animation and voice acting. This is straight up better then a lot of animated shows on TV now

How the hell did this go from bat shit crazy to a wholesome ending.. you are a literal genius.

This feels like a Junji Ito manga. People grow obsessed over small things to the point they're consumed by it. Papa meat, you did a great job of portraying loss, obsession, and coping, specially with how Melvin lets others step over him in attempts of ignoring his issues. Overall, it's a great message. It's not about forgetting, but acceptance. You outdid yourself with this series, Papa meat.

Never have I ever thought I'd see the day MEAT CANYON of all people would become wholesome. Melvin was able to find true happiness in moving on In life. What a legend.

This really hits home with me. Between drinking and collecting. I went through a shit ton of trauma after high-school and not knowing what to do. Let alone with having a dead father. Hunter seriously knows how to show people their demons in silly ways. I’m still dealing with demons today. But thankfully I got through the collection phase. I’m trying to relieve stress and trauma with a pet turtle and aquatic animal care. With the way the episode ended felt fulfilling. Edit: thank you for the comments, I’m still facing demons. But just to be clear, I’m not alone, I do have support. And I my turtle is fine, she’s not suffering at the hands of my own selfishness. She’s living better than me, outside of not being free in a pond. But she’s invasive, so I’m doing good anyways. I utilize art and aquatic care as my way to clear those negative thoughts. Just find your thing. And video games isn’t one of them. Idk how many times MK1 had me cursing screaming and thinking I was as useless as my combo skills were. Just thanks everyone.

The amount of detail you put into these animations, especially this one, is amazing. My inner nerd was exploding from every scene

As an adult I collect horror related stuff, movies, action figures, movie posters etc. I love it. I don’t plan to stop it’s something that I truly enjoy. But this video resonated with me loudly. Kinda shining a light on the unhealthy side of collecting. For example the impulse to spend money on “stuff” when I’ve had a bad day just to make myself feel better. Can be a black hole all in itself. Incredible video! Ironically I really want a Melvin plushie now😂

I LOVE that he made Jeremiah's head the shape of an N64 controller. Such a cool way to embed the theme of the video directly into the character design.

“Numbing yourself until you can’t feel anything at all. You’re hollow.” That one is too real. As someone who’s into collecting and nerd culture I’ve interacted with way too many people who don’t or can’t feel any emotion towards anything.

"A big majority of us." Everyone else above doesn't know that people go through this and think they are a main character thinking "us" is talking to only them living a miserable, and closeminded life as a grain of sand that can be replaced by millions of grains of sand, to be fair the grain of sand has more purpose than the people that say "Us? WhO Is uS?" which includes you, also the term "us" still doesn't go to your thick skull, as you are stubborn as a mule that us means "used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself and one or more other people as the object of a verb or preposition." The commenter is talking about the people that own anime figures and buy them to cope for their lives and past trauma. This can even be related to people buying only fans pictures to cope. To be fair her use of us is kind of confusing and should have been more clear when addressing the people they were talking about but it is simple on what this person is talking about. To add saying "us" makes you feel kind of guilty and questioning about you acting the same on impulse buying for trauma. I'll give the benefit of doubt you don't. P.S.If you don't want to read all that it is just me saying "Nah I'd win, you failed rapscallion. Don't just buy things to cope."

This vid reminds me of a spiral I almost fell into and saw others fall into when something horrible happens in your life and you can’t find a way to move on the thing I always liked about these vids is it shows how to move forward and how to live on

That was nice. Best one yet, in my humble opinion 💯

This meant something to me. If you keep running away from all of your problems, and ignoring pain, you never grow, and you never overcome your fears. You become addicted to the nostalgia, and it negatively affects your mental health. And when a pet dies, it’s like your family member dying all over again. Except you blame yourself, and the pet that was a placeholder for your loved one is also gone, just like your loved one. Nice job Papa Meat.
