zarecht2968: I refuse to believe Radahn ever consented to any of this lol

Edit: Damn, calm down guys
peterfthagn3646: Absurdly accurate depiction of Miquella's POV
someguy4405: shoutouts to messmer toasting marshmallows in a furnace golem
Guyallknowing: “Age of hugs, sus”. “A tree but better.”
some-say-gregms: Imagine becoming a god then instantly meeting some asshole who can dodge roll 800 attacks in a row
jacobdoswalt: I love that his eyes turn grey when he reaches the divine gate because by that point he really has let everything go.
LMSH: this was really fun and cute to watch
manvslife271: I almost spat out my drink at "Didn't expect retcon"

Edit: Nerds endlessly arguing about lore that was purposefully designed to be vague below
anonymousmurphy: …but little did the Tarnished know, it had been Miquella the Swift all along.
roganmckee2350: “I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian because I care.” Perfect lyric for Tender Miquella
shizetocteeo5929: I love Marika and Radagon freaking out over their unhinged child the whole video
DjWarriorFast: Finally. The lore accurate Tarnished
PoyueloN4: Tarnished: "I would have followed you to the ends of the world, I would have been your shadow until the day I die... BUT YOU ARE CRAZY, DAMN DEMON CHILD!"
jeniskindof: My friend once told me that true evil can only be expressed through a Taylor Swift song and he was correct.
Noizzed: "Child Murdered" would have gone crazy
SrTNick1: I don't see enough comments appreciating the plan to revive Godwyn being called "Operation God When"
deepsoft7829: Oh my god I absolutely adore these character stylizations

Especially Malenia, she looks sick
hereticgrim: Would never have thought that the saddest lore video for Elden Ring would be a 2-minute-long cartoon with a Taylor Swift song.
jacobwalbridge123: Miquella as a tween swiftie fan is genuinely genius
Pandorun773: Justice for Mohg, he does not deserve the 2 life sentences for harassment of minors, he was the harassed xd
fide-zealamon: A must watch for fans of Elden Ring lore. There were so many references and visual gags in this video that just made it very fun to watch.
bloblovlalalulu3422: They at least got some happy family bonding at the end there
jacobdoswalt: I find the concept that Radahn sealed his vow to be Miquella's consort with a pinky promise oddly adorable.

Edit: how did me being excited about a pinky promise turn into this big of an argument?
zacharyhawley1693: Him dropping saint trina on accident and just whistling as he keft was gold.
grandpac6044: The scratch out sticky note of mom, dad, mom knows best was hilarious
VaatiVidya: Incredible animation!
deazee2288: Marika looking disgusted at Miquella's crush on Radhan has me like "Girl, get off your high horse you know what you did"
valdemar_bd9859: I love the messages at the end, “didn’t expect not Godwyn” lol
smoss9813: A brilliant depiction of what HE thought he was doing, and utterly, wonderfully one sided at that!
onehalfofunimportance4954: Yeah this is exactly my interpretation of the lore
vicentepessoa2116: Stepbro im stuck in the shadow realm
zathsu: I love how exaggerated all the character designs are. And the art style is so cute. This is awesome :P
otherguy___4293: Miquella’s common theme: He tries so hard and does everything right, but fails regardless in the end.
AtomicPineapple23: Why does this low key explain the lore of the dlc better than the real game
irongolem123: "IDK, maybe just be evil? Solid." Ha. This is perfect.
kingcobra2858: I didnt know Taylor Swift got charmed by Miquella.
_Tzer: Cutting your love, doubts, compassion and parts of yourself out.. will make you lose who you are.. at the end of it its not the same miquella that was helping people.
amirb.8763: The drawings of his failed operations are so cute and depressing at the same time. Poor Miquella really can't get anything done
prod805: “Kids, You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try”.- Homer J Simpson.
confusedspartan3525: That tarnished was caked af
beroulga: the little angry two fingers at the end is my absolute favorite.
grandpa6065: i... am never gonna hear the song without picturing miquella....
HeckYep: This was good enough to make me sit through Taylor Swift, that's high praise.
crownediceman998: The ending implies the only time they’ll all be happy together is in death making my Tarnished seem more like Grim reaper figure.
IcicleM: I understand the entirety of Miquella's story with this Taylor Swift music video better than any 3 hour explanation video that exist out there. That is WILD
TheManastein: I’ll be a good wingman for Mohg and introduce him to St. Trina
aurumthebrave3427: Can't believe this little shit threw St. Trina away like that lmao I actually love this little evangelical brother lover
inmortuae4512: Funny how the guy that cant grow up choose a guy that cant stop getting bigger as "consort"
tomhapje: Someone get this to miyazaki, it's amazing!
ahcydraws: I didn’t expect Taylor’s mastermind when I saw this video but it fits so well!
randomnessanimation6831: Basically the DLC in a nutshell!
Malisteen: I need a mod that replaces the 'memory' cutscene after the promised consort fight with this video.
StyleshStorm: Seeing the entire celestial tier family at the end like that is kinda sad especially in this cute art style. You almost feel bad for all of them. Miyazaki doesn't allow happy endings it seems.

Ranni (and Melina kind of) are the only two that survived this whole apocalypse.
RenanSolidSnake0: Didn't Expect Perfection, and then You have no Right... (Ring of Miquella Gesture)
normanbear: This is the most accurate song for his story
claytonlehmann3483: “Didn’t expect not godwyn”
I do feel like Godwyn could have fit here perfectly, but then fromsoft saw the sheer amount of love for Radhan, and so changed it to be that instead.
perhaps4887: "I'm only cryptic and machiavellian cause I care" fits so well
Acesahn: Tarnished: Why was I even in the Land of Shadow to begin with...? Ah well. Pockets runes
TheTurophile: The people DEMAND more Taylor Swift Elden Ring lore cartoons!! Love the art style!
adistantwail8419: I did not expect this to be so good, let alone make me actually enjoy a Talor Swift song. This must be what it's like when Miquella charms you.
totallyofftask: “Didnt expect retcon” being one of the messages lol
bottheskitarii8881: "Boss you killed a child..."






"AMAZING!
morekiemadness222: Leaked straight from miquellas coloring book
Glorb-Topic: I am shocked at how you managed to make a near studio quality animations that stays so incredibly faithful to the lore whilst being funny in just ONE MONTH. Incredible stuff man hope to see more of your work in the future
sharonwutti.2743: really love the End drawing so much, wish it could be made as wallpaper
cindadimaggio6679: “Didn’t expect not growth”
brandenlontok4015: The tarnished really just cute down Miquella right when he passed the finish line.
frigusgwalker8123: Its funny to think that Miquella had this plan that stretched over a thousand years, involved killing several demigods and crossing over into another world. And then finally after everything he’s done and he finally becomes a god, the tarnished comes in and kills him
matthew_1219: Miquella is, after all, an unfinished being, everything he tries to do is a failure, left incomplete, for that is his curse, as the butterfly told us.
hereisanoriginalname: oh man i love how you stylized each and every being in the lands between! really getting me a little sad for the poor kid here
hanros-x6s: miquella is too adorable here, gonna make me sink deeper into my 'miquella did nothing wrong' hole unfortunately. he did sm, he deserved to succeed atp
malenia's design is cool too, i love the parts with both twins–theyre so contrasting but still complement each other well
gilgamesh4869: Why is this so addictive. Seen it like 10 times now. I think Miquella has charmed me.
AleQueenofSpace: "i'm only cryptic and machiavelian cause i care" LITERALLY could have come out of his pretty mouth
Grimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: Finally someone that says the truth, mogh only got brain washed AFTER he got to the haligtree the intentions were there all along
ZarMationStudios18: All those plans drawn in crayon with “FAIL” written on them kinda hits right in the feels, man. I’d say Miquella just really needs a hug - if I knew he wouldn’t massively misinterpret said hug
kingsman8164: Little did Miquella know, we had our own four armed Empyrean guiding us
alessiosaputo5867: This is the most accurate lore video of all time
zachmarvin7712: This lyrics is completely in line with the story lmao
Steampunked777: The more I listen to this song the more I realize how much it fits with miquella
coreykwok4143: This is an INSANE crossover! Can't believe how fitting it is. I'm questioning all of existence right now.
yuriganduglia8737: This is incredible, the lore details of miquella be a child even in mind that always fail is fantastic.
dangerbeans9639: I was not expecting Elden Ring x Taylor Swift but Holy Hell does it work! I can't get these out of my head now.
Marika: The Man
Malenia: Anti-Hero
Mogh: Bad Blood
Ranni: Look What you Made me do.
moonie448: The first time I watched this I kept pausing because there were so many details in the background, then I watched it again and I noticed even more! This is absolutely incredible, great work. I’m glad I saw this.
bigtheorymusic: I can't believe that, after 24 years on this planet, THIS is how I get tricked into listening to Taylor Swift
slepey: this is the closure i needed after finishing the DLC
wilhelm4321: Lol Malenia, Godwyn, and Radahn being the only one's happy to see Miquella at the end is hilarious
_Tzer: Elden ring fans as soon as a god comes out as gay and it's not to them: Destroy.
kaiser9598: Absolutely lovely animation. I also love the detail of Miquella losing the grace in his eyes

All the details throughout the video are so good, I want to point them all out, but I’d be here forever…
