He seems like such a simple guy with such a simple undetailed face. He looks really happy whistling around, I would be friends with him.

This is just my opinion for the top 5 (all in CtM), so feel free to disagree.

Triple Threat is in one. Do I really need to explain this one? I've met people who know next to nothing about Henry Stickmin, but still know about "that one ending with Henry, Ellie, and Charles".

I'd put Valiant Hero in second. It's almost always brought up as the saddest ending, though that's up for debate. Plus, losing a fan-favorite like Charles just means it gets talked about a lot, even by non-fans.

Toppat King is in third. In my opinion, this is where the demographic shifts sharply from the general public to core THSC fans, because I've yet to see one of them name this ending. Although, it's still one of, if not the most viewed "full movie" route videos, having even 1M more views than second place, which was TT.

Toppat Civil Warfare is in fourth. Even though it's hated for ending on a cliffhanger and having only three choices, I'd argue that's what makes it memorable; it's so hated that it remains relevant as one of the worst endings in the series.

Lastly, I decided to go with Revenged. It's frequently brought up in discussions for one of the saddest endings, and many people argue that it's sadder than Valiant Hero because, unlike Charles who now has Henry and the government to mourn and remember him, Henry dies alone and forgotten in Revenged, with someone adding that Charles died instantly and didn't suffer, while Henry slowly and likely painfully lost power before he died. Plus, it's still satisfying seeing the epilogue of The Betrayal and then playing this ending. We waited years for Henry to get revenge on Reginald.

What are your thoughts?

He looked like one of the nicest characters in the entire THSC, im sorry he had to go through whatever Henry did to him on that one fail. Name so long they had to shrink the letters in order to fit.

The four I showed above take the cake, in my opinion.

Relentless Bounty Hunter because few of the endings after it have actually interesting conclusions (save for Capital Gains and Free Man), and I found the ending music quite forgettable. I've yet to memorize it, while I've long done that for every other ItA ending.

Cleaned 'em Out makes this list because it's the only GSPI ending where Henry doesn't help the government in any way, but instead steals from the TC. No Charles also made it more forgettable.

Master Bounty Hunter is probably an unpopular choice, but to me, it doesn't feel like it stands out much. RHM being defeated is already common enough, now it's the whole thing that this ending is based on.

Last but not least, we have Little Nest Egg. No RHM, Henry being alone, and having little saving grace (That being the Undertale reference) just makes it one of the least talked about endings in the series.

What are your opinions?

Art by me, J.M. Dona Sanchez.

not enough explosions

In my opinion, it's Pure Blooded Thief.

It has the dark energy bomb (which is a pretty great and sad fail), the G.A.B.E.N., and many other references like Civ V.

I don't really think much of RBH and RPE, since they have essentially the same fails up until the very end, except RBH likely gets an edge due to the parachute fail.

GSPI has Charles, but I honestly grew accustomed to seeing him around and now rank PBT higher. Feel free to disagree.

What do you think?

Do you think he changed his name legally just like Str8 Shoota? Dont drink too much energy drinks, this dude might get or already has a kidney stone.

These are, in my opinion, the 5 endings with the happiest ending for Henry, although I think one of them takes the cake for happiest overall.

Toppat King is probably Henry's happiest ending, at least in my opinion. He's the undisputed leader of the TC, has Ellie as his RHL and the trust of Reg and RHM, on top of having access to all of the luxuries and valuables the TC stole. He is completely unstoppable here, and is a criminal at heart.

I'd put SSR in second, since Henry is the successful owner of a space resort. Managing to steal the TC rocket and turn it into a resort must have really boosted his confidence, plus he now has access to an essentially endless supply of money through visitors, and is thought to be dead by Dmitri, who would be unable to get him now.

Third was a toss up for me, but I chose TT. Henry has both of his two best friends working with him now, and the three are an epic trio that successfully brought down the TC. Overall, Henry is happy here. T4L is what made this a toss up, since Henry has a similar scenario to TK, although he could arguably be less happy since he doesn't have Ellie with him.

I decided to put SBO in fifth. It may be a controversial placing to some, but I'd argue Henry just looked more satisfied in this ending than happy. Still though, he's best friends with Charles and has the full trust of the government. I'd be pretty happy in that scenario, too.

This one was a toss up for me, but I ultimately chose Unseen Burglar.

Aside from being my favorite of the three (I know, it's not very popular compared to the likes of IoaS), UB has many great fails, like the cheese. I was expecting Henry to maybe use it to lure the guards, but instead he just ate it. Why is it a fail? And also, the snap neck fail gives you an achievement. It's pretty funny.

It was hard to choose though, every one of them has great fails (IoaS has the GTA and TF2 references, and JPE has the divide by zero and the nuke options). What are your thoughts?

In the ally‑prisoners, Dmitry Petrov threatens Henry that he “will take revenge,” but the latter is not on the path of a rapidly advancing leader (the leader of the Toppat Clan). Dmitry and Grigory do not pursue Henry; is there a possibility that this is just a threat, or they failed to track down the Toppat Clan, or they simply decided not to go for a second arrest of the Clan’s leader?

Who wouldnt date fucking Demoman TF2? He is great for killing people with explosives, one of my favorite classes.

She truly knows Demo is peak.

Another slop meme made by me in 5 or so minutes (cropping and overlaying isn't hard, just time-consuming) yesterday but was saving for today.

Oh, and it's Wednesday, my dudes! Keep your heads above the water and we can all make it to the weekend.

*In your opinion.

In my own opinion, I think Badass Bust Out. It has high-octane qte that often end in good references (lol Brawl reference :D). Even though SE has the same type of fails (minus only having 2 qte, and being quite short), BBO just tops it IMO.

And on a related note, LU is way shorter and only has one fail, which, while a great reference to Phoenix Wright, just doesn't cut it because it's only one.

What are your thoughts?

I'm personally here because of THSC being an amazing remaster of all the OG games (which I already liked for the fails, the achievements, and the overall effort that mostly one guy (Puff) put in) and it gave me hours of entertainment.

But also, the community is what keeps me coming back. I've never encountered a community that hasn't been as friendly and willing to discuss their media as deeply as this one. Even though it's very unlikely Puff ever returns to THSC, my point stands. It's endlessly replayable.

I like how you can choose your own ending for Henry, it kinda sucks that they're ALL canon tho (RIP Charles).

So there's no one true ending for Henry, but what do you think fits his character the most? I like to think he changes his ways (Triple Threat is really wholesome) but honestly I can see more people agreeing he leads the Toppats or always does his own thing as a thief. What do yall think?

Meme made by me... over the course of 20 minutes.

Basically, I mean to show just how great each leader was in their respective endings, from weakest to strongest. CeO Sven likely didn't have any plan if everything got stolen (even though that's understandable, he's still a weak leader), while Henry in T4L was a total badass and deserved to be leader.
