OH LORD what a monster this one was. Originally we were going to do the hybrid animatic style but after getting a good half of the ep done and watching back I personally didn't like how it ended up looking so I decided to knuckle down for an additional 3-4 months to get it fully animated. It nearly killed me.
I hope you enjoy this cliff hanger episode as Ash & I are already getting ep 5 set up. Due to the cost of living and having lost a massive amount of support (mostly due to Apples 30% fees) it's gonna take a while before we can start the ball rolling so I appreciate the patience from you folks!
I do ask, since we have 8 days until the public release, that you keep spoilers and fan art off of social media until the 11th.
Thank you guys once again as these eps would not happen without your monetary support. It sucks but money is sadly the lifeblood of indie shows and we're so very grateful that you guys continue to keep us alive.
Speaking of support, the KARA plush goes live on the 11th and we have new shirts and goodies in our fourthwall store!

https://monkeywrenchseries-shop.fourthwall.com
Prints will be made available once we receive our samples and make sure everything looks okay.
Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go into a coma for the remainder of the year.

How does these videos not have over 5 million yet? It feels like the next best online cartoon show after “Helluva Boss”, “Murder Drones”, “Spooky Month”, “Lackadaisy” and “The Amazing Digital Circus”!^^

2024-12-17 23:40:24 +0000 UTCamazing, breath taking work, as always. this show just keeps on getting better and better, its unbelievable. best indie show out right now. and one of my personal favourites out of all of fiction. it reminds me of rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles... both animation, action and unfortunately support wise. I hope to god monkey wrench wont get the same treatment as rottmnt did. I do my best advertising the show everywhere (even with my small followings) and recommend it to my irls. have watched the episodes with my different friends individually so the videos get more views. have bought merch and will buy a ton more once I get money. I recommend others do the same! my favourite characters are Shrike, Beebs and Ricket, new favourites from the 4th episode are Jawbone, Disco Head and Agent K. so excited to see the future characters and new lore!! hope you and your team get to take a well deserved break. thank you so so much for giving us monkey wrench ❤️💙

2024-12-15 16:36:17 +0000 UTCIn addition to Beeb's absent tusks, the cybernetic arm also seems to be a point of contention and/or shame to which Ajax draws attention. I suspect prosthetics are looked down upon by Walrinian society.

2024-12-11 17:56:24 +0000 UTCWatched before and after the update and GOSH what difference in impact. Also the music goes HARD, I'm so infested in all these lore drops, I cant wait to see more! Take an extremely well deserved break! You all did amazing and I shall be screaming about my monkey brainrot.

Your Humble Host
2024-12-07 08:40:32 +0000 UTCI think she's mostly bad at dealing with unforeseeable circumstances. Good at planning and assassinating, bad at improvising.
Blarg
2024-12-07 04:45:10 +0000 UTCAnd Ricket continues to be one of my two favorite characters (other's Beebs)

Vittorio Arriola
2024-12-06 20:05:56 +0000 UTCI feel so bad for that cat assassin getting jobbed every time she shows up but I'm glad she got some kind of win in between the manhandlings.

2024-12-06 02:11:39 +0000 UTCFantastic episode with some much needed character development and lore dumps! I’m super excited for the posters!

2024-12-05 20:18:27 +0000 UTCMan, these guys are just so mean to Kara, I almost feel bad for her 😂😂😂
Avalon Bernd
2024-12-05 05:29:12 +0000 UTCOh, that was excellent!
Critter
2024-12-05 03:58:17 +0000 UTCbeebs is a good person and is holding it together best he can
Mace
2024-12-05 03:01:44 +0000 UTCSo the Walrinians are an alien race who's prone to fits of berserker rage capabilities. which is also a society of aristocratic hierarchy, tusks are a point of pride of them and beebs has no tusks, has had his family name tarnished by some unknown scandal, is implied to be an "aberrant" and is likely doing everything in his power to keep from getting angry, because he's ashamed of what he might be capable of, of going out of control the same way Ajax did. Also, it makes me happy that beebs warned everyone and asked to get security before getting into a fight!
Mace
2024-12-05 02:27:07 +0000 UTCNo, it's more that Kara wanted to savor her revenge and interruptions kept getting in her way - teases, phone calls, giant hulked-out berserkers..... You gotta be in the mood if you're going to savor what comes next.
Zhon Lord
2024-12-05 02:16:48 +0000 UTCWatched this again and I really love the little glimpses we get into Walrinian society. Like you get the feeling it's all built on decorum while trying desperately to make others lose their temper (I love the way Ajax gets visibly angry when Beebs won't rise to his taunts) and any physical altercation probably results in significant property damage
Disgruntledlungfish
2024-12-04 22:27:33 +0000 UTCabsolutetly worth the wait, and so excited for whats to come!!

2024-12-04 21:35:58 +0000 UTCGreat job this episode omg! Can't get over the writing and visuals ahhhh! Please take a hiatus! You've done so much for us already!!! <3 It's an honor to see this please take care of yourself! <3

Juan Hernandez
2024-12-04 17:30:56 +0000 UTCSo are Jawbone and Scythelord the same guy? Or do they just look coincidentally similar? Lol
Tarponpet Secord
2024-12-04 17:18:39 +0000 UTCaw hell yeah! that could work!
Boel Lundqvist
2024-12-04 17:05:57 +0000 UTCThis was really good, despite the few problems within this episode It didn't really bother me that much about since I know you guys are genuinely trying your best with each episode, it's really a shame how much little support this show gets compared to all the others, and the amount of passion you have to continue the series is really admirable and I wholeheartedly appreciate your effort, please take a rest big zeurel you earned it.
Deadeye
2024-12-04 17:04:40 +0000 UTCOH HELL YEAH! THIS EPISODE TURNE DOUT SO GOOD! THE ANIMATION IN THE NEON DOCK TUNNEL HAD EM SCREAMING I CANT WAIT FOR EPISODE 5
Cast_Iron_Bug( or may thats cool too ^^)
2024-12-04 16:25:58 +0000 UTCAbsolutely awesome episode! You and the team have done a phenomenal job with this episode and I can’t wait till the next one. And I’m definitely getting that Kara-doll! 🤩✨

2024-12-04 14:59:30 +0000 UTCFourthwall DO make large desk mats, could be something worth looking into.
Zeurel
2024-12-04 14:00:04 +0000 UTCI have no words for how great this was, I loved all of it! I hope you all get some well deserved rest, especially you Zeurel. :) Will def buy the Kara plushie and probably pins too. Something I would love to have is a playmat with Monkey Wrench on it. That way whenever I go playing MTG on tuesdays I can sneakily introduce the show to my friends while not also shoving it in their face. :3
Boel Lundqvist
2024-12-04 13:53:30 +0000 UTCWatched it once. What a ride. Will watch it a second time with popcorn soon. I need to wring out all the little details. The smash cut to drunk Shrike was the funniest thing I've seen all week.
DinghyKimmy
2024-12-04 13:33:35 +0000 UTCI can tell in this episode was to get the animation,audio, music and stoyline to a whole new level. It turned out really good. Zeurel and everyone who worked on this episode should feel proud of their work. Look forward to see more in the future but for now, get a good loooong rest.

2024-12-04 12:57:56 +0000 UTCW episode 🔥 worth the wait frr
Kinieo
2024-12-04 06:04:07 +0000 UTCAlso, forgot to mention. Kara seemed a little hesitant to kill Shrike at first when everyone was pushing her to. Does she get stage fright??? Anyway, that ship has totally sailed after this episode. 😂
Avalon Bernd
2024-12-04 04:35:26 +0000 UTCOh my goodness I just love this, it's a gift that keeps on giving!!! I love the lore drops here with the walrinians and Shrike's drunken spoilers. 👀 And MAN it's CRAZY, like ACTUALLY CRAZY, that you did so much of the animation on your own. Please don't go into an actual coma. 🫠 As always, thank you to the lovely team that brought this together. You're all astounding and your work is incredible. Also I totally did not expect Jawbone to sound like that, but it's so awesome, because I had no idea what kind of voice he would have! His personality was an enigma to me in all the past updates, but it's so succinct and beautifully voiced acted, and a really interesting type of character I haven't seen before. Also, really exciting to see other new characters dropped in on this episode! That crazy walrinian guy confirmed a ton of my theories about their species. Also, really interesting that they eat meat and seem to have a caste system in place where the offspring seem to act as servants until their tusks grow in and they make it big themselves. Very cool. Poor Beebs though, he's got it ROUGH. The part where the guy grabbed his arm??? I think his arm got ripped off in battle on his home planet, which is why he was practically disowned and skipped town. I'm proud of Beebs for standing his ground.
Avalon Bernd
2024-12-04 04:29:56 +0000 UTCThis episode was amazing, and enjoyed every single bit of it. There so much more lore that was dropped and I'm super excited to see how the next episode turns out! It's really upsetting that you're burning yourself out making this. Monkey Wrench is an incredible web series that differs from other more popular web series out there. It sucks that this web series is still unheard of and I'd hate for it not to continue! Please give yourself some time to fully relax and rest. Because I know from experience(not that much experience), animation is SUPER TAXING. Above everything else, great episode! I'll be patiently waiting for the next one! :) <3
The Missing Link
2024-12-04 04:06:42 +0000 UTCThere's so much to say here, it's such a great episode all the way around! More lore teased, excellent new characters ( Agent K is definitely a new favorite), it looked so good and as much as I definitely don't want you to run yourself ragged doing it I do appreciate how much work went into it. I'm going to increase my annual sub since it's time for it to renew anyway in appreciation for everyone's hard work and to try to make up even a little for the utterly unfair issues you all have been dealing with funding-wise. Take as long as you need for the next one! 💜
Tori Williams
2024-12-04 02:49:09 +0000 UTCWonderful! So excited for the next episode! The new animation style worked well.

2024-12-04 02:48:39 +0000 UTCtake a FAT break after this one wow, that was amazing!! i love monkey wrench so much fantastic work as always! im excited to obsess over this episode for the next year until ep 5 <3
Poj Sanchez
2024-12-04 01:56:59 +0000 UTCThat was AMAZING!! I can’t believe how good this all was! You guys all did incredible, the extra time spent on it really shows. 💖 I didn’t realize Apple took such a big cut, though, that’s insane.
Microgravity
2024-12-04 01:38:43 +0000 UTCI'll never get tired of Tyneen pulling a godzilla. Just one of those little things you always forget about until it happens again and it gives that same "HOT DAMN!" reaction every time!
Zhon Lord
2024-12-04 01:36:52 +0000 UTCChristmas came early!!! This episode was so cool! The colors and setting were fantastic, and Joel as Jawbone was awesome!! But Disco Head really stole the show. That guy... hoo boy. 👀
darkvioletcloud
2024-12-04 01:35:52 +0000 UTCHappy to have seen this episode after so much waiting. Enjoyed the Kara confrontation as she shows Shrike and Beebs why she's the most dangerous assassin. The fight scene with Tyneen was also good. Love how she beat Shrike and JB in that fight. And I also am happy that we get to know more about Beebs, his species, and past.

SpeedStar1642
2024-12-04 01:02:27 +0000 UTCOkay, my feedback on the animation: It definitely shows that the animation budget had to be cut back for the downtime scenes, but the areas where you went full swing were still absolute BOMBSHELLS of quality and pizazz! Focusing on facial expressions and dialogue made for excellent dialogue emphasis and emotional engagement, and when the action took off it was so good I didn't dare blink! Voice acting is excellent as always, though there were a couple points where a voice that's further back in the picture got a little quieter than I would have expected; still fully audible but a little surprising at the sound level difference. And the writing is fan-freaking-tastic - Walrinian lore, Kara's allies, the conflicts between Shrike and Beebs, Ajax's quiet and bombastic forms of malice, everything about Tyneen.... absolutely wonderful. I'm proud to be part of the patrons for this series, and I can't wait for Episode 5!

2024-12-04 00:46:30 +0000 UTCI'm gonna hold off on watching it till it's on YouTube so I can experience it with my friends but OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED YESSSSSS WOOHOO NEW MONKEY WRENCH ✨✨✨✨✨

2024-12-04 00:13:38 +0000 UTCCouple things: DAMN, this episode was INTENSE! VERY much looking forward to seeing how the next Episode turns out, especially since it's already in production (I remember the trailer). I was so excited when I saw that Doobus Goobus did a shot. I love that guy's work. Knowing the Kara Plushie has boobs makes me feel excited about potentially making a big-boobed Plushie of my own! Get some rest, you guys (if you can). You've MORE than earned it.
