To think, this series began with Scar immediately failing his task within the first five minutes. What a comeback this was

Scar may have unintentionally played this whole series perfectly. By never truly having close friends or tight alliances, he was able to play everyone to his advantage. Accidental Big brain 😂

Gem: "Scar has to be low" Scar: Has 25 hearts

It’s so impressive how much Scar improved. From being carried by Grian in the first series and barely getting a hit on him in the final duel to winning the life series without friends the whole time and getting the most kills (correct me if I’m wrong about the kills). Well done Scar.

“she’s dead scar. you won.” that ending was phenomenal, congrats scar!

was anyone REALLY hoping he'd accidentally reroll for a hard task at the end?

Dude... Scar's arc is possibly the best win of the Life Series to date. He starts out only wanting to make friends, but destiny has it that time and time again he is painted as the villain (literally). But then, in the end, he finally finds friends willing to sacrifice themselves for him, and then he duels with TWO previous winners and comes out on top. There was a lot of interesting content for the animatic creators in this series. I'd love to see one playing on the themes of predestination and free will (that's the Calvinist in me talking), like how Scar is forced by destiny to fulfill this villain role but Joel points out that he still had free role in who he chose to afflict with his villainy. Also in both Scar's and Joel's perspective I loved how Bdubs assured Scar their bows weren't pointed at him, and then said they wouldn't be cowards and should charge into battle, and then died as an indirect result of being accidentally shot by Joel. Little bit of quiet foreshadowing there, further emphasising how Fate was in control all along. AND THEN GRIAN The one who started it all with Scar, the one who won all the way back in Third Life, right at the beginning, because of Scar - his best friend - and Scar's sacrifice in their duel... It is the GHOST of GRIAN who finally tells him "Scar, you've won... You did it Scar". OH THE LORE! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS!!

For someone calling themselves "villain scar," you were pretty darn nice to Pearl there at the end. That was a rather wholesome moment (ironically as you were trying to chase down Gem.)

That "goodbye, Tango" was so so smooth. It wasn't even that far of a drop, he could've lived. The confidence to say that was impressive.

Usually grian causes scar to die directly or indirectly in these series, this time he accidentally got him to win by demolishing an entire team of 3 on his way out

I just love how cinematic and dramatic that ending was with all the relationships coming together. Gem still thinking Pearl was her friend and propably feeling betrayed and confused by Pearl attacking her. Pearl finally accepting Scar as an ally and even offering her sacrifice to him, as she originally intended for her Mounders. And, finally, Scar, at last overcoming his villain stigma, refusing to take Pearls sacrifice, hyping up Pearl to go into battle, equally ready to give his life for her as she was for him. It's just such a beautiful coming together of little storylines, I am amazed that it all played out so naturally in the end.

Scar refusing Pearl's offer to sacrifice herself and then searching and calling for her after she died was so unexpectantly heart-warming and cinematic

"How'd the guy with no friends win?" That actually broke my heart 😢

This was the most Scar win possible: - The whole episode insane skills with a bow - didn't take Pearl on her offer - had a great fight with Gem - and then... - won and didn't realize

Scar might not be the best at Minecraft, but he's amazing at the social aspect of this series using his charisma to talk his way in and out of things and using relationships to his advantage. Don't count this guy out in the life series.

The Scar/Pearl relationship was so surprisingly wholesome for a death match.

Grian having to say "She's dead scar, you won" is the most Scar thing ever

You know Scar is a great trader when he ultimately traded all his friends for a victory royale.

I love how despite Scar and Grian being on opposite teams theirs still going to be desert duo animatics for only one reason: Grians final stand against Gem, Scott and Impulse left the strongest team on the server weak enough for scar to pick off one by one. They don't even have to interact for the fanart to happen
