Reddit AMA Recap: Brendon Small

 

Brendon+Small+2011+NAMM+Show+Day+4+oOiWtVIz3kel

This could be it…yep…the conclusion of Metalocalypse. Why am I saying that? Well, if you read between the lines of the recent Reddit AMA he did you can tell that Adult Swim’s best series COULD be meeting it’s maker this Sunday Night @ Midnight EST. Any questions Brendon got in terms of the future of the series were almost TOO vague, but I think you can make some good guesses judging from the answers. The other interesting part about the AMA is the number of Home Movies questions he got which is actually something that happened at the Bobs Burgers panel at NYCC particularly aimed at Loren Bouchard. If I’m someone at Adult Swim, I’m thinking about a special here because that show is getting a groundswell of support. Galaktikon was also well-represented here and could pose for a smart idea for an animated deal.

The start of the AMA was like BOOM…here is the track listing for the Dethklok Klok Opera soundtrack coming out next Tuesday:

1. The Birth/ Fata Sidus Oritur/ One of Us Must Die 2. Magnus and the Assassin 3. Partying around the World 4. Tracking/ Ishnifus and the Challenge 5. How Can I Be a Hero? 6. The Fans are Chatting 7. Abigail’s lullaby 8. Some Time Ago… 9. The Duel 10. I Believe 11. A Traitor Amongst Them 12. Training/ Do it All for My Brother 13. The Answer is in Your Past 14. The Depths of Humanity 15. Givin’ Back to You 16. En Antris et Stella Fatum Cruenti 17. The Crossroads 18. Morte Lumina 19. Blazing Star 20. The DOOMSTAR Orchestra

Interesting listing and better yet you get a good sense of the kind of plot points that we could expect for the 1 hour special set to air Sunday Night. However when asked numerous times if this is the last we see of Metalocalypse, we did get a lot of this:

again you will have all of your answers in a few short days. . . I apologize.

And whether or not there will be a season 5 of Metalocalypse:

I never give satisfying answers when asked this- but I’ll try to help without giving anything anything away. but I think you’ll understand the answer when you see our next installment this weekend. Again sorry for protecting the story and stuff

Even more so, Brendon dropped some hints on what he may be working on in the future. Full tours with the Klok Opera and Galaktikon sound far-fetched due to the fact that both would cost a fortune, but someone asked him a little about future projects and even though Brendon’s career really flourished with animation, it almost sounds like he’s kind of done with it and is ready to move-on with live-action stuff:

I have some projects in the works. I love animation but it is a lengthy process. Live action is something I’m very excited by.

And THAT right there my friends, could be the tell-tale signs of what’s about to go down this Sunday Night on Adult Swim. Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem looks to be the final chapter in the opus that is Metalocalypse. Check out a trailer for the special getting ready to air this Sunday Night @ Midnight EST as well as a track off of the soundtrack.
