SilvaGunner: Rebooted

SiIvaGunner: Rebooted (spelled with a lowercase "L") is the first story arc on the SiIvaGunner channel, and the beginning of its lore in general (although some earlier things were retroactively added to the lore). The arc contextualized the reboot, a channel event where the three biggest memes on the channel were replaced by alternate versions. It was followed by The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis.
==Plot==
Throughout April and May 2016, a substantial portion of the SiIvaGunner channel's fanbase began showing discontent towards rips featuring "Snow halation". Due to the amount of discourse in the community over "Snow halation" rips, the SiIvaGunner channel was whisked into an alternate universe, or "rebooted". In this "reboot" universe, the three biggest running jokes on the channel, including "Snow halation" but also the universally-beloved "Meet the Flintstones", were changed into different jokes fitting the same archetypes.
The reboot was led by a character known as The Voice Inside Your Head. His goal was to please the fans by removing "Snow halation" rips from the channel. However, Chad Warden remembered the original universe, causing the Voice to have to negotiate with Chad. In the end, the Voice grew tired of the "alternate" jokes and after considering a few possible ideas, he thought of merging the original universe back into the new one, sans "Snow halation". Chad Warden seemingly accepted this, but then used the power of the MF Like Button and sacrificed himself to bring "Snow halation" back after the Voice merged the universes.
Although it wasn't mentioned in the series proper, Pokemon Grand Dad Version has the Voice reveal that his true motivation for "rebooting" the universe was not to please the fans, but to protect the channel from a greater, unrevealed threat.
==Major characters==
*Chad Warden: A foul-mouthed defender of "Snow halation". He remembers the pre-reboot SiIvaGunner, throwing a wrench in the Voice's plans.
*The Voice Inside Your Head: An unseen figure with the power to create entire universes. He reboots the universe to stop the SiIvaGunner community discourse over "Snow halation".
