"cringe fanfic machine go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr" — the first episode's tagline
Hollow Knight Resurrected are a series of videos created for GraveyardMedia
based on the video game Hollow Knight. It begins as an "Abridged version" of the game, but developed into a full Alternate Universe.
Here is a playlist of the current videos available.
Tropes include:
- Adaptation Name Change: While the original game doesn't give the player character an official name, they are often referred to by fans either by Hornet's own nickname for them, Ghost, or simply the Knight. Here, the Knight names himself Charlie and even giver his brother the name Al.
- Adaptational Nice Guy:
- Surprisingly enough, Zote. Downplayed as he still looks down on the protagonist and takes his achievements for his own. He's just more polite about it.
- Hornet is much more talkative and amicable here. She strikes up a polite conversation with the Knight while they fight, complements his efforts, and gives him advice on how to improve.
- Amnesiac Hero: Just like in canon, the protagonist starts like this. He's quite excited to learn he can read and feels no empathy.
- Blood Knight: The Knight really likes fighting. Sure, he fights and kills to get more money, but he genuinely enjoys it. The prospect of fighting the False Knight excites him.
- Heroic Comedic Sociopath: The Knight, especially in the first few episodes, although this mellows out into more of a general Blood Knight as time goes on.
- Serial Killer: Ghost quickly concludes he must be a murderer since he felt no remorse over killing something. He later tries to kill Elderbug and Quirrel, but because of Gameplay and Story Segregation he can't. Quirrel suggests trying to talk to people first because they might have something interesting to say.
- Suddenly Voiced: To expand the role, the Knight can speak.
