I love how much this series embodies the idea of creativity. Back when Alan created the Chosen One, he did so consciously and with clear purpose: a good animated fight. His origins can't be traced back to any intrinsic value found in the medium of animation, but to violence and combat. He was born in destruction, and thus became a god of destruction. But, at the very least, you can make the argument that The Chosen One exists for more than just fighting, as he eventually loses interest in and actively starts advocating against internet-wide conquest. Despite that hesitance, however, we don't see any instances of things he created in the 9 year timespan between AvA III and V. He doesn't create, nor does he take pleasure in destruction. He simply is. So, what happens when you create something whose only purpose is to destroy a destroyer? You get The Dark Lord. The Dark Lord never lost his original will. He never grew bored of the slaughter. If anything, he optimized it, polished it to a mirror sheen in the form of the ViraBots, and hoped to stomp the rest of the web into dust beneath his feet. He did contribute something in that 9 year span, yes... but only something he could use to further spread misery and decay. And then there's The Second Coming. Created by complete accident by Alan when he was just trying to animate an orange stick figure. The only one of the three who can directly draw his roots to a creative purpose. Not only that, but he's also the first stick figure who we see creating living animations. (The Victim made copies of himself, and TCO, alongside TDL, never used the draw tools or anything in the animation software for anything but weapons.) There is a very creative soul in TSC, with an imagination beyond anything any of the other stick figures are capable of, even if the full extent of that imagination is lost to him save when he is in dire need of it. So in the end, it's not The Chosen One who defeats the Empowered Dark Lord, or Red, Blue, Yellow and Green, who started existence absentmindedly fighting each other before TSC showed them what was beyond the webpage. It's The Second Coming. Born in creativity, with a love for the art of animation. The only thing that can defeat the purest of destroyers is the purest of creators. (Or I could just be overthinking all of this and Alan just wanted to draw cool stick figures fighting in very creative ways. :P)
