Hans Van Harken and Chase Langley became friends on Newgrounds around 2006-2008 dreaming of one day making live action Madness Combat movies. About a year ago, Krinkels and Swain hired them to make this Cinematic Trailer after the success of the Release Trailer for their game on Steam. Today, we cap off the 20th anniversary of Madness with this.

That sounds like an incredible journey for Hans Van Harken and Chase Langley, as well as a fitting way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Madness Combat! The evolution from dreaming of live-action adaptations on Newgrounds to creating official cinematic trailers must be a surreal and fulfilling experience for them. It’s also a testament to the enduring impact of Krinkels' Madness Combat series and the community around it. https://purewaterpoolsofnaples.com
if madness had live action
hear me out on the three that show up at 0:44 seconds in
It feels weird that they call him Hank J. Wilmington, when his real Canon name is hank Motherfucker Wilmington (I'm not joking, look it up)
ey it's definitely better than Minecraft movie
