The Ultimate Revenge of the Troublemakers

Note: This page was copypasted from the now-deleted Horrible Vyonders Wiki.

The Ultimate Revenge of the Troublemakers is a short film by theAestheticRedstone. It was uploaded to YouTube on December 9, 2019.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) To get the cat out of the bag, the short is heavily rushed all because of COPPA. Even worse, Redstone did not even try to make any scene in the short good. Instead, he made it all a soulless version of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. This makes this video feel more like a downgraded and unfinished Demon Slayer episode rather than an actual short.
 * 2) *Keep in mind that this makes Redstone a hypocrite, because he hates mh:crappygames:Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash because it was rushed, yet he rushed this short for no good reason.
 * 3) This so-called "film" is highly unfaithful to all of Redstone's other content. And yes, this also includes some of his grounded videos made back in 2018.
 * 4) Amazing or not, it overuses the same character as the main protagonist all over again, and barely gives anyone else enough screen time. And no, the main protagonist is not a fictional character.
 * 5) Despite being advertised as a full-length film, its runtime is 14 minutes long, which is far too short for any film that is not a short film, showing us what the rushed development of this video ended up as of now.
 * 6) *Not only that, but Redstone also heavily despised Teen Titans Go!, and yet he had the audacity to make this video look like it was trying to be like Teen Titans Go!
 * 7) The scene where Rex Dasher sends Queen Barb to destroy Rex Dangervest, while the only decent scene in this whole short, tends to have some issues. Before Rex Dasher sends Queen Barb to attack Rex Dangervest, Rex Dangervest basically grounded Rex Dasher until Raya and the Last Dragon came out, just for sneaking up on him, which is highly unfair, considering that this video was originally premiered on December 9, 2019, and Raya and the Last Dragon was released on March 5, 2021. If anything, Rex Dasher could have gotten a warning.
 * 8) *The fact that this was also released before the COVID-19 pandemic took over society hurts this scene even more.
 * 9) *Because of this, this scene ends up heavily mistimed, and as a result, ends too early.
 * 10) The main protagonist of this video, Zoe Bartosz, while she is a kind person in real life, not only is her appearance in this video generic, bland, cheesy, unneeded, and downright unnecessary, but she is also insanely unlikable in this video, considering that she literally pushed the other protagonists away so she can fight Ethan Johnson alone, and what she does not know is that she could have gotten herself killed, so basically, in this video, Redstone turned her from a kind person he met in real life in November 2018 to a traitorous jackass with no soul.
 * 11) *Not helping matters is that she was way too powerless to even get close to Ethan Johnson. Whatever happened to "Nobody was able to defeat Ethan Johnson alive?"
 * 12) *Hell, the only possible explanation for this was so that Redstone could find an excuse to make a half-assed video.
 * 13) Misleading title: The video was initially named "The Final Showdown", but it was not actually the final showdown, as there are plenty of other Redstone videos after this, including Humanity's End: A Fate of Hell. Even his Despairingly Malicious Edition BTNL premiered on December 31, 2021, with The Orb of Power: Legend of the Teenage Superhero premiering on April 8, 2021. What is said to be the actual final video is set to premiere on November 3, 2023.
 * 14) The scene where the protagonists fight Ethan Johnson is the lamest and (possibly) the most anti-climactic scene in any Vyond-related video so far, as only one character actually fights Ethan Johnson (despite her being too powerless), and the whole scene feels like a lame and lifeless rip-off of a scene in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Not to mention, Ethan was supposed to be the most threatening character in the Redstone franchise, and yet, this is what he gets?
 * 15) *The only explanation was so Redstone could find an excuse to end the franchise early.
 * 16) It has one of those generic "evil never wins" cliches
 * 17) Everyone in this video has been watered down to bland, unlikable, and forgettable stereotypes that serve no real purpose whatsoever. And yes, this also includes the only likable characters in this video, even going as far as flanderizing some real life people. What is worse is that none of them even got any character development whatsoever.
 * 18) *For example, Rex Dangervest has gone from some cool master breaker to a rather lame character who barely does anything.
 * 19) *All the villains have gone from being threatening to rather lazy, lackluster, and very generic butt-monkeys who never win. This incident makes Thanos look like a joke in comparison.
 * 20) *This was the first time Zoe's unlikability was present. It gets much, much worse in Bluestone's Unlucky Birthday Predicament though.
 * 21) Ethan Johnson's backstory is never really explained properly, and kinda comes off as a complete rubbish excuse to use technology for evil. This proves that Redstone tries way too hard to make the villains of his channel unlikable.
 * 22) In this short's predecessor, Zoe literally sacrificed her life to send Freddy back home with a bomb, and yet, she is in this video anyways. This alone ignores what happened in its predecessor, and it can also be seen by many as an out of place Disney Death.
 * 23) Trevor Goodma's redemption was really random, unoriginal, and very forced, compared to the other villains’ redemptions from any other film, and makes Kylo Ren's redemption in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker look decent in comparison.
 * 24) *Not only that, but this can also be considered a rushed and wasted character development, since this redemption happens immediately, with no real emotional scene. Not even a confrontation was enough, therefore, proving even more that this video was basically just rushed.
 * 25) The scene where the Terminator goes back in time to stop Killian from destroying the AMC Theaters is really questionable, because there is no real explanation for why the so-called "protagonists" who saw Arctic Dogs in theaters were actually Ethan Johnson's robots disguised as the protagonists just to give Killian an advantage, and somehow the Terminator destroys the theater instead, leaving an even bigger plot hole.
 * 26) Ethan Johnson gets pushed in the lava, and somehow does not die.
 * 27) The trailer for the short was very misleading, because most characters who appear in the trailer never appear in the short.
 * 28) The trailer said that this was gonna release on December 6, when it actually premiered on December 9. Missed opportunity for a person who puts effort in his content. Hell, even the main protagonist of this video herself was completely confused about the release date.
 * 29) Very cheesy and nonsensical dialogue, such as:
 * 30) "You wretched fools. This is your last chance. Try to stop me, or die"
 * 31) The Terminator's line "Mark my words. It's judgement day, baby. Hasta la Vista."
 * 32) *This was partially stolen from ERB's "Terminator vs Robocop."
 * 33) The infamous "You think you’re smart enough to do whatever you want? Then you’re purely mistaken. And it will cost you your life.".
 * 34) There are a ton of plot holes throughout the whole video for no good reason.
 * 35) Much like in the video game Paper Mario: Sticker Star, there is a lack of interesting characters.
 * 36) A lot, and if not too much like Solo: A Star Wars Story, there is way too little character development.
 * 37) Pelchiun Entertainment comes off as a weak villain despite his threatening actions.
 * 38) Overdone laziness that makes Nathaniel Bandy's first Top 10 videos look like masterpieces.
 * 39) Some of the villains in this video are just killed right away and they do not even fight the protagonists.
 * 40) Despite being advertised as a sequel to an average short, but it has no real connection with it.
 * 41) It is basically a combination of all of the flaws of mh:awfulmovies:Batman & Robin, mh:crappygames:Sonic 06, mh:terribletvshows:Teen Titans Go!, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and summer school series combined.
 * 42) There is a scene where Zoe Bartosz literally risks her own life to jump off the edge of a bridge leading to Ethan Johnson's lair and still lives.
 * 43) Unlike Redstone's previous shorts, the executive meddling is cranked up to eleven. Redstone gets so worried that making anybody the main protagonist would end up destroying the former production, so he decided to tear what was gonna be the main protagonist into pieces by refusing to create him, and therefore, replacing the main protagonist with one of his own real life friends.
 * 44) The short even had the nerve to end on a huge cliffhanger.
 * 45) Since Redstone's content continued after this video, this short (just like Bluestone's Unlucky Birthday Predicament) leaves no impact on Redstone's content, aside from the main antagonist, Ethan Johnson. You can watch all of Redstone's content except for this and Bluestone’s Unlucky Birthday Predicament, and nothing too important would be missed.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The scene where Rex Dasher sends Queen Barb to destroy Rex Dangervest is probably the only decent scene in this whole short, despite the "grounded" part of that scene.
 * 2) Mario, Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker (despite Mario and Joker being less likable than they were in their original franchises), Freddy, and Ethan Johnson (despite having a generic backstory) are somehow the only likable characters in this whole short.
 * 3) At least the former thumbnails of this short have some effort, but this does not excuse the horrible quality of this video.
 * 4) Some of the unlikable characters in this video have been either improved in future content, or temporarily removed from Redstone's content.
 * 5) *This could also be a speculation that some of them could also end up getting killed off in future content, with a death scene in Slashcraft's final BTNL being a major example of this.
 * 6) The first thumbnail of the short, while not great, was okay.
 * 7) Despite the music being stolen, it is still good.
 * 8) The music for the trailer of this video is also good, despite being randomly stolen from the first Black Widow trailer.
 * 9) Despite how flanderized all the characters in this video are, at least it did not turn any of Redstone's fans against him, unlike Bluestone's Unlucky Birthday Predicament.
 * 10) If Redstone took much longer to work on this without putting it in development hell, it could have turned out a much better way to end a short saga.
 * 11) Without Ethan Johnson, the main antagonist would have been a generic Megward the Wizard who gets mistreated by the protagonists in an abusive way, and this video would have turned out just like the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "One Coarse Meal."
 * 12) Humanity's End: A Fate of Hell, despite not being released yet, could come off as an improvement over this.
 * 13) Regardless of what WIS#16 says, Redstone's future content now ignores what happened in this video and Pinky Dinky Doo and her Flipbuddies misbehave in Spies in Disguise/All Get Grounded.
