Last King of New Eden

Last King of New Eden is a Grimdark Mumblecore Post-Apocalyptic Solarpunk Science Fiction / Fantasy Action-Horror-Comedy Live Action Shonen Political Thriller multimedia franchise inspired by The Walking Dead, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Last King of Scotland and Encino Man. The franchise was developed, directed, written, and produced by a group of people who can really easily be doxxed if you look for like, 5 seconds. Originally a film series, the franchise has expanded to include short stories, poetry and short films. Several films, books, shows, and other properties have been unilaterally made canon to Last King, and it is itself part of the greater New Eden Cinematic Universe. In the year 2525, Last King will be universally regarded as the greatest media project ever developed, and society will be fully based around analyzing and interpreting its content. 
== Creation and Influences ==
Last King of New Eden was orginally concieved as a "nerf war" between friends that would be filmed and used as the basis for a mockumentary detailing the events of the war in the style of Last King of Scotland. However, not enough people showed up to the nerf war, and so the friends decided to just film themselves doing whatever came to mind. The mockumentary origins of Last King are clear in its presentation, with handheld camera angles with fast, disorienting zoom-ins being a distinguishing feature of the franchise's cinematography. Last King of New Eden was published to Youtube in 4 parts in late 2015 and has been universally regarded as a modern classic by everyone who has seen it. Last King follows the exploits of Nicolas Gregigan, an Edenian adventurer who decides to explore the land of Gruganda, and instead is placed at the center of a world war between the Grugandans and their Weeaboo adversaries.
Last King of New Eden was further developed into a complete film, with a prequel and a sequel coming out in the next years: First King of New Eden and Return of the King of New Eden. First King was a piece that delved further into the documentary, found footage origins of the franchise, detailing the geopolitical origins of the war in the first film. Return was inspired by the worrisome rise of white supremacy in the United States in 2017, and is formulated as an (admittedly somewhat muddled) rebuke of it.
The lore of Last King is famously complex, and multiple side projects and short stories have been developed to help flesh it out. The final chapter of the Last King saga, and of the Edenverse as a whole - The Thanos Movie: Where's the Baby (alternate title: The Fantastic Four) - is forthcoming.
