So I just got done watching the Chainsaw Kitten Pirates that Time Travel series of youtube videos and I thought I’d give my thoughts.
I largely watched it because of the controversy surrounding it. Sadly, I got spoiled thanks to that so I watched it expecting the ending going in. I won’t be able to review it without talking about that, so please, go watch the entire series, shouldn’t take you very long.

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

Part Four


Have you watched it?


No really have you watched it?


Spoilers after this point.


You’ve been warned.


Those magnificent bastards
So it was played off as these videos made by this 12-year-old with little to no video editing experience. So yeah, the entire thing was an ad for a movie coming out…
…and it was glorious!
Trolling at its best, and it’s the harmless kind anyone could get behind. My god I love the Dataverse; when a major film studio is joining in on the fun you begin to see how pervasive it has become. Well, who better than me to judge a troll, so here we go!
So the trolling starts with the title: Chainsaw Kitten Pirates that Time Travel. The title is pure genius as not only do the cats not time travel, but also they lose their chainsaws and pirate outfits after Part One. Not to mention, considering Orango gets Brittany knocked up, so they can’t possibly be kittens either. The title is nothing but the most beautiful lie of all. The title slowly becoming irrelevant tells the story of said 12-year-old slowly losing sight of the original focus. People that young tend to be so wishy-washy. Also, the sex filled gender roles between Orango and Brittany are really indicative of a little boy driven by his hormones. The added thought the creators put in really built up the authenticity of the piece.
Then somewhere in the middle of the 3rd part, the video shifts in quality. Apparently, the “creator” just shifted to a 25-year-old. At that age, he’s developed a greater respect for women, as well as a cynical look on the stuff he’s made when he was 12; hence his desire to kill his darlings. This is easily a shocking moment for the audience and the fact that they don’t even end the video on an explanation really drives home the fact that this isn’t the series we expected. It gives us a glimpse at their hand without completely revealing their play, allowing them to troll us a second time in the fourth part.
Might I add I love they use real cat actors for the 25-year-old segments instead of using men in cat costumes as per usual. It brings a bit of legitimacy, and I always like when non-human shaped creatures get the spotlight.
I don’t know much about the movie “Grow,” and I’ll most likely not watch it. However, the folks behind these videos should be proud. Heck, considering the first part came months ago is proof to their devotion. I eagerly await their future trolling.
