Explain me Madness by Krinkles

[HoYack]

Someone please tell me the whole story of Madness made by Krinkels. Who is Hank, who is that Jesus guy, who's the Clown, who's that new Shadow guy, why are they killing each other all the time ecc?

[Cyprus]

Just watch the series...
There are only 9 of them, and it will only take about 20 minutes. You wont regret it.

[HoYack]

I did watch all of them, few times each (except the last) but I still don't get a thing. Ok, this Hank wants to kill a Jesus, Clown and all of their agents, but why? I know it's ment to be mainly graphics to enjoy, but if there is gonna be a story, it should be atleast explained indepth

[SaltshakerClock]

Hank is crazy and needs to kill people. He first wanted to kill the sheriff, but along the way made more enemies to go after. Thus explaining Jesus and the Clown, Tricky. Then the Auditor appeared. Crazy stuff happens and Hank dies. People come back for him and make him freakier than before.

The end.

[sirtom93]

There isn't much of a story if I'm honest.

You just answered your own question, there.

Madness was never meant to have a story (it was never even meant to be a series). Yes, they're supposed to be about killing shit more than anything else..... and that's it, really. The only reason Krinkels tried to make anything even close to a coherent story is probably because 9 iterations of what would otherwise have been exactly the same thing simply would've gotten boring very quickly.

So yeah. The "story" is just there to make all the killing look more interesting. Krinkels said it pretty well in one of the madness openings: "No rest; no remorse; no reason."

And no, there's no clear explanation of all the little story-like things he threw in there, either. It's called 'Madness' for more than one reason.

[xscoot]

It was made so Fox News would have something to bitch about when they run out of violent videogames to criticize.

"There is no reason. only madness."

-Madness 8, i believe

[Ismael92]

In addition here you have the madness encyclopedia, you may find what you need to know there. But really, you should watch the episodes, and as other people have said there isn't much of a story.

Thanks. It really ticked me off when Wikipedia removed their article on it.

Don't try and follow the storyline seriously. It's just a bunch of guys killing each other, that's where the true animation's storyline is.

[SimCorder]

There is no story... ONLY MADNESS!!

[2good2b4goten]

People just kill eachother for no reason. Fanboys are pleased by violence. Krinkels is hailed a hero of flash.

They're lovely little things, but they make no sense.

[Luis]

I think the fact that it starts out storyless then weaves in some continuity amongst episodes but still staying true to its glorified violent roots is cool. You can get your fix of gratuitous violence without having to commit to watching multiple episodes, and yet you can also go through episodes and weave your own story on the scraps that krinkels gives you to work with.. i think its a flexible series that lets you get into it if you want or just burn 3 mins and corrupt your teenage brains.

[Ericho]

Just caught the recent chapter after posting on this forum. As expected, it was great, even though nothing made sense, but it's like it was trying to make sense, but that didn't take away its coolness. Why do some of the guys have yellow blood?

[Freaki-boy92]

you know those stick flashes with no plot?
it's like that, but with a bit more animation and drawing skill.

Leave it to Luis to beat everyone's definition.

Oh yeah! Never really thought of it that way.

[xenonmonkey]

all i could piece together from all of the madness series and madness interactive is...

The first madness was just random killing, the main storyline started at 2. piecing madness interactive, the sheriff mailed hank a box saying a delicious pie was inside, he opened it only to find a note that read "ha ha no pie for you!". out of anger, hank decides to kill the sheriff for his lack of pie. halfway through his attempt to kill the sheriff, he encounters a clown, and Jebus, a henchman for the sheriff apparently, who kills him before he can kill the sheriff. hank, angry for revenge, is bandaged up and goes out to kill Jebus, killing the sheriff on the way. on the way to Jebus, he also encounters the clown revived by Jebus on the way. later on, this carries out into a battle where the clown finishes off Jebus and he also kills hank. Hank is somehow brought back to life where he kills the clown. the clowns gigantic ghost begins attacking hank and they both end up killing eachother. and in the latest one, hank is brought back to life by two of his friends who end up dieing at the hands of some strange shadow monster who feeds off the remains of dead people.

There is no story, Krinkels never intended the series to get this far.

[wedgeman]

there are people, that are trying to kill eachother. End of story.

Good point. If you look at Madness Avenger, you can see how the story could have just ended there.

[Xarnor]

Madness has no story. It's just a bunch of epic, pointless, bloody violence.

Ep1-Hank kills peope for no reason, making it not a part of the story line

Ep2-Hank goes after the sheriff for an unknown reason and dies

Ep3-Hank sucessfully kills the sheriff, but dies

Ep4-Hank goes after Tricky the clown because he was in Hank's way, and goes KAMIKAZE!!!

Ep5-Hank is looking for the improbability drive that is helping Tricky and Jebus gets in his way, causing a fight, tricky loses sanity, and hank gets his head ripped off and thrown onto the ground.

Ep6-Hank is back, looking for the improbability drive helping Tricky AGAIN, gets ran over by a train, gets beaten up, and attacked by demon tricky

Ep7-Hank tries to run away (consternation means running away from fear) gets killed by Jebus, finds out there is an improbability drive in Tricky himself, gets killed by Jebus, and Tricky dies

Ep8-Jebus becomes the protagonist, tries to find the main prob drive, tries to stop auditor (black flaming man) and dies

Ep9-Sanford (guy with lip) and Diemos (guy with hat) resurrect Hank, Diemos dies, Hank comes back and kills MAG V3 (giant guys in mc7-9) Sanford finds Diemos dead, and the big final fight begins.

At first, then he added the story line. Revenge, TRUE MADNESS, and trying to stop the Auditor

well, what other ways are there of thinking about it?

[BenelliM4]

Believe it or not, it's a pretty in-depth series when you really look at it.
