I remember that "evil alter" thing and like you, I couldn't predict how big Darkiplier would become. I love how the fans created it and Mark kept his version vague and mysterious enough so the concept never gets oversaturated or strict, but still has deep lore. I think that this weird, unintentional symbiosis between the fans and Mark is why it has survived for so long and keeps people intrigued. But the ball is most certainly in his court.
Theory: The House/Entity wouldn't let the depressed Actor Mark kill himself (we learn in 'Date' that he is in fact depressed and lonely) and manipulated him into doing an elaborate and over-the-top scheme. This reflects Dark's controlling nature and manipulating nature. When Darkiplier was created, he absorbed the nature of the house/entity.
as much as I would love to see more darkiplier content, I agree with your suggestion to let him vibe for a minute. he is in a very good spot with just enough detail to allow fans to run with it without being too specific, which is what makes him so loveable. he can be whatever you want in your mind.
The way I’ve come to think about how the ‘Markiverse’ works comes, coincidentally, from the other well-known cinematic universe featuring surreal, chilling inexplicable and often tragically ironic events happening to ordinary people where a monochromatic well-dressed gentleman with a charming mysterious and ominous affect would occasionally turn up to monologue at the audience; The Twilight Zone. In every iteration of its intro, series’ creator and OG b&w interdimensional formal-attire King, Rod Serling, narrates to the audience some description of what ‘The Twilight Zone’ is and I feel much of it almost perfectly describes the Markiverse as well, given the knowledge we have; “There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man; it is as vast as space and as timeless as infinity; it is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition; and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge; this is dimension *of imagination*…” “You unlock this door with the key of *imagination*; beyond it, is another dimension; a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, *a dimension of mind* ; you’re moving through a land of both shadow and substance of things *and ideas* …” IDK if this makes sense to literally anyone else or if it’s just two of my hyperfixations forming a Darkiplier-like fusion of their own 😅
as much as i really love darkiplier and his backstory and everything, the ending of this video is correct. if mark wants to get rid of darkiplier, thats totally understandable. i’d hate sexualisation, romanticisation and people getting mad if a character i created didnt meet what was expected of them. i hope mark creates dark in whatever way he wants because i will support him 100% after all, life is ours to choose
I agree! I’ve grown tired of people sexualizing a character like Dark for example. With the many fan made fics or art, he was seen as a sexy man instead of the more scary entity he was supposed to be in Mark’s view. I feel like sexualizing characters kinda just ruins the character yk? I mean, you can have fun expressing of what you think Dark is as long as you don’t go too far with it. I feel like Dark deserves to just vibe as he is now.
I'm gonna finish the video in a bit but holy heck darkiplier was what got me into so many creepy and dark media that I've grown to love so much. Its so fascinating to see this character grow from a concept by fans to a very intriging yet important character in the Markiplier universe. I remember doing all of thr endings for A Date with Markiplier and A Hiest with Markiplier (didnt finish In Space with Markiplier cause of so many endings) and I remember getting so excited to see Darkiplier on screen. Who Killed Markiplier was such an interesting look into possibly how Darkiplier came to be. Which ever the case, Mark's characters can range from absolutaly chaotic to horribly tragic. The man's acting talent shines so much.
Wow! I never knew the lore for darkiplier was this deep. This is my first time watching your content and let me tell you I am very impressed. You earn a sub from me!
Dark's nature of existence, being a 'Flumpty' character (the name courtesy of the first character of this type that I know of) who is just 'immune to the plot' and 'transcends time and space' makes me think that Actor Mark is nothing more than a puppet at this point. It's Darkiplier who is setting everything up, controlling it all, appearing whenever and however he wishes, either to deliver a message, or to set up the story away from our eyes. He's aware that he's a part of this story, that was the CHOICE he made. He's just playing his part... for now.
I've always been thinking about what was the reason viewers started calling him Darkiplier (in 2013 specifically). As LadyGwen88 said in her own Darkiplier video (2014): "viewers are afraid of Mark himself" which does make sense because he was shown as a generous and funny guy making monthly charities and this kind of "event" ruins perspectives But the true reason was the 2010 trend. Thanks actually, that makes more real))
this ended up on my suggested feed, so I think you’ve made it. seriously though, really solid video, hope it gets more eyeballs. darkiplier is such a complicated concept with a complicated beginning and I think you treated it really well. something I’ve always wanted to see is someone that isn’t imbedded in the Markiplier fandom take a super DEEP dive into darkiplier, like a Sarah Z video. imagining an outsider’s view, just utter confusion
Honestly Darkiplier became a thing, and the fandoms that made him real, so I feel like we created him and made him come to life knowing that he's watching us
Cool! I really enjoyed this look into the lore and history of Darkiplier XD I knew a lot of this in bits and pieces already but you really organized it into a timeline that makes sense to me, and also you said a bunch of things that I hadn't known about already as well
nah, why did the cave-man explanation of this story from your persective help me understand the lore way better than literally five years of researching mark's lore, help 💀 but seriously, you are comically underrated, my friend. great video! 💜
Love it! How about Antisepticeye next?! Sean released his big project on Halloween called "The IRIS Project" and after that, a shortened version was uploaded called "ANOMALY DETECTED: CHASE BRODY."
Holy-! Never knew Darkiplier had such in-depth lore. I only saw the video "Darkiplier vs Antiseticeye" and a few animations by 'Liv Me Entertain U', it's very interesting to see how everything played out! I enjoyed the video essay as well
You have to watch all the who killed markiplier videos and Damien after. If u have time then watch his stream why killed markiplier. It helps so much :3
I love this whole video, but I will disagree on one thing. I think the fans desires are still influencing Darkiplier more than you give it credit for. You brought up the white suit, but I know for a fact that the white suit darkiplier was a super popular trend that was happening while the filming/writing of heist was going on. When I saw white suit dark in heist I got super excited because it meant Mark had been listening and watching. I do agree on the idea that people stick a little too strongly to the canon dark then Mark really prefers, but with the switching around of darks gender with Celine and other things of that nature is leaning more into that. And I think incorporating small ideas like the white suit is Mark’s attempt at further encouraging that behavior
as a person who is super hyperfixated on all things mark lore right now your videos are SUPER helpful in better understanding everything! ive watched all of the stuff but your videos are giving a place to kinda collect my thoughts,, great stuff!! :D
I think Darkiplier lives in a dreamscape which is why you need to phase through the world when you meet him and when you leave, probably what he needs is to escape this dreamscape
That is an incredibly good question with no definitive answer AFAIK, lol My take on it is that Celine’s probably MOSTLY asleep, but might occasionally wake up briefly to encourage/give Damien advice on what do if he needs it. I also love the idea of Celine taking over when Damien’s wounded/weakened and her being 200% more brutal and ruthless than he is. So yeah, don’t let Darkiplier manipulate you, but Watch Out!
i thoroughly enjoyed this video so much !! it's been 5 years i think since i last kept up with mark and sean and their projects and i've only caught up to them now since i've been craving a nostalgia binge to get away from uni for a bit. and it just gives me so much joy seeing how beloved the egos still are. will now be watching ur video on wilford after this :))
hey -- i finally watched in space with markiplier yesterday and literally CHEERED when i saw darkipliers foot. and was happy. people demanding more of favourite character because of favourite character, just isn't getting the writing. shoehorning him in that series would've been stupid, especially since other major characters and concepts were being introduced it's clearly building to something bigger - you don't NEED darkiplier to be in the series for his presence to be clear, for his intentions to be hinted at. we know there's a final thing that it's coming to, why would we need darkiplier to hand-hold the audience into the storyline every time
Exaaaaaactly! Like on the one hand, I feel it’s fair to be disappointed and feel your feelings, whatever they are-but making a big fuss or drama about it is a whole other subject, and doesn’t help anyone in the situation anyway. Plus, I’m sure some of those people could have gotten a bigger cameo and still complained about it not being exactly what they had in mind, lol
Wow the whole idea of the house being the entity and convinces (in a way) Mark is just fascinating. I keep rewatching the series and never fully understood it but this video cleared it all up after years haha.
@@Eddeha Darkiplier has always been made by the fans in a way, so this series being so open ended makes sense to me! that’s the fun part, exploring new theories and building your own
I'm actually still going threw heist I've gooten a few of the endings but not all yet so I didn't even know that Darkiplier was in Heist but it will be awesome when I find it though X3 edit: also with Heist I've realized grew that same box every route there is something different in the box so I think what's happening is every rout is a connecting alrdernative universe and with every alt universe there is an alt item in the box if that makes sense
@@Eddeha na you didn't spoil anything its cool bro also yes it was and now I'm gonna go threw the entire thing with a fine tooth comb to find the clues lol
I rmb that moment when WKM chapter 4 got uploaded. I can still remember that moment Darkiplier came on screen and I was like "WHO TF IS THIS GUY AND WHY DID HE LEFT US!?" At that moment I sunk deep into Mark's community and the evil alter ego of YTbers fandom until I got turned off so much from the shipping and stuff.
I don’t judge people for their interests but FORREAL, it has been difficult for me to write about Dark as an abusive “ex” in my fan game, when half the shipping is at least BDSM adjacent/ makes him out as super possessive ~because he caaares~ like… I swear I’m NOT implying ANYthing, he’s ACTUALLY being an asshole, I S W E A R ! ! ! But idk, I doubt Darkiplier shippers take up much of my game’s audience anyway, lol
Jesus...my brain is burning actually. The lore about the characters of Darkiplier and Actor Mark is soooo difficult to understand throughout the cinematic projects of Marc. Well, it's not like it is more complexe than the FNaF lore right ? I still hope that the futur projects will give us a more clearly explanation. I'll have to admit that I'm not a native English speaker, and despite my level of knowledges, I still got limits, as Mark say technical terms to describe his stories. I gotta thank you for your video, and I hope it will help me to understand more about the Markiplier universe. 🇫🇷
WOW okay the memories…. I may or may not know the authors of those Wattpad tales you shower… and kept up with the updates as they were happening lmao I haven’t thought about those in *years*
Yee maybe I remember it being bigger than it really was, but some folks were just teasing/saying it for the lulz, and some were like, really mad and frustrated. They’d been looking forward to seeing Darkiplier again ever since Space was announced… which like, feelings on that are valid, but I dun think the internet’s the best place to throw a tantrum about it. I don’t want to criticize too harshly though, for all I know they were all 13 year olds
This is a really interesting look at Markiplier history as a whole too who knew that from 2012 to 2017 , Mark's popularity jumped from 50k to 16million is such a jump wow. and the radio video i gotta watch it again! ...ah i was with you till about the 20:00 mark when it switch from a professional analysis to..baby talk of somekind. that was kind of offputting. i get the jist of it though. they're still in the house a la Rose Red type shenanigans. it's a unique theory for sure. and we're back after a minute to the professional analysis. alright good choice. I have to say it seems like the Darkiplier that Markiplier has in his mind, is the edgelord..funny man. because Mark enjoys comedy a lot. i think that was his ...i won't say downfall but his reasoning behind Heist's code at the end. sure it was funny the reveal but i loved played the puzzle going and solving it all which you can still go do! and it's a wonder i wish more videos would impliment..but ...i don' tknow I guess i wanted amore grounded realistic thing like how Who killed Markiplier was and...not have it devolve into something that's just funny. In Space was great at that. it could truely read as a tale that's wonderful and why it's offered an Emmy. Above all i think it's just..Mark needing to learn and grow as a writer and director for the concepts he wants to tell. Damien was great in that aspect too but they are all relatively newer. I would be delighted for more Darkiplier concept however it goes. even Warfstashe i think he rather enjoyed but he can be silly and serious as much as he likes with that so it's easier for him. that's got to be duanting too.
Dark is a very interesting character of Mark's in my opinion... and to be honest, if he was ever let go in the future, I know I would be pretty sad. I hate even hearing the idea that Mark has been uncomfortable lately from reading all of our thoughts or posts on social medias about Dark. It just makes me feel disappointed at everyone that's been doing all this crap. 😒
Tbf it’s just a theory that he’s uncomfortable. Not one I’d be surprised to learn was true, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he overcame that to do something awesome with that character ^_^
People got mad about Darkiplier’s inclusion in ISWM?? Personally, I got excited as hell! Like, I want to see what Darkiplier taking the gem at the end leads to in the next project.
I think some folks were kidding/exaggerating, but I saw a few act like they were personally betrayed. IMO any appearance of Dark won’t be good enough for folks that’re that entitled
@ I don’t think you did a good job explaining anything about dark or in AKM at all as someone who doesn’t watch Markiplier I also get confused really easily.
I will say there was more times Mark talked about Darkiplier pre IDWM, the most notable example in my brain is the times he played fan games that included Darkiplier and talked about how he didn't understand why everyone latched onto the concept so much, but enjoyed seeing all of the art and creativity that came for it... and also lightly foreshadowed that he wanted to do something with the character for his community. and he did. C:
I have a small theory that beyond the house, or perhaps in conjunction with it or as a part of it, is us, we the viewers. These eyes from beyond their walls of reality, influencing the stories, watching the stages and plays. We choose the paths in the adventures, the ones who solve the mysteries, the people who made darkiplier. A stream of creatives back and forth between Mark and his fan base, the two entities who control the world around the characters.
well, about Dark only wearing suits.
he technically has a "casual" outfit. like in the bathroom scene. a tie over a graphic tee.
I remember that "evil alter" thing and like you, I couldn't predict how big Darkiplier would become. I love how the fans created it and Mark kept his version vague and mysterious enough so the concept never gets oversaturated or strict, but still has deep lore. I think that this weird, unintentional symbiosis between the fans and Mark is why it has survived for so long and keeps people intrigued. But the ball is most certainly in his court.

mark and sean did a great job taking the ego concept by fans and making their own, fueling it with theories and new lore.

“You unlock this door with the key of *imagination*; beyond it, is another dimension; a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, *a dimension of mind* ; you’re moving through a land of both shadow and substance of things *and ideas* …”

I don’t know but I loved that “in my opinion” sooooo much, listened to it on repeat for like 5 mins
and the darkiplier and anti bloopers didnt help mark dealing with the fans-
I still have Mark's voice crack and him saying "this is really gay" as a soundbite living rent free in my head

I think Darkiplier lives in a dreamscape which is why you need to phase through the world when you meet him and when you leave, probably what he needs is to escape this dreamscape
The idea of a manipulative entity needing to escape a dream world to invade ours is pretty spooky
@ reminds you of a certain feller that comes in 60 angles for 3 sides
So is Celine just always asleep inside Darkiplier? Or do we only show up to see Darkiplier when Damien is in control?
That is an incredibly good question with no definitive answer AFAIK, lol
My take on it is that Celine’s probably MOSTLY asleep, but might occasionally wake up briefly to encourage/give Damien advice on what do if he needs it. I also love the idea of Celine taking over when Damien’s wounded/weakened and her being 200% more brutal and ruthless than he is.

Above all i think it's just..Mark needing to learn and grow as a writer and director for the concepts he wants to tell.
Damien was great in that aspect too but they are all relatively newer.
I would be delighted for more Darkiplier concept however it goes.
even Warfstashe i think he rather enjoyed but he can be silly and serious as much as he likes with that so it's easier for him. that's got to be duanting too.
U should do this same sorta thing with anti septiceye
Dark is a very interesting character of Mark's in my opinion... and to be honest, if he was ever let go in the future, I know I would be pretty sad. I hate even hearing the idea that Mark has been uncomfortable lately from reading all of our thoughts or posts on social medias about Dark. It just makes me feel disappointed at everyone that's been doing all this crap. 😒
Tbf it’s just a theory that he’s uncomfortable. Not one I’d be surprised to learn was true, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he overcame that to do something awesome with that character ^_^

Excuse me WHAT?!!!!!!!
Right?!?! How can I do reliable research when search engines be like "what is filter by year tho"
@@EddehaLOL, Wormhole acting up again!!!
People got mad about Darkiplier’s inclusion in ISWM?? Personally, I got excited as hell! Like, I want to see what Darkiplier taking the gem at the end leads to in the next project.
I think some folks were kidding/exaggerating, but I saw a few act like they were personally betrayed. IMO any appearance of Dark won’t be good enough for folks that’re that entitled
This video did not help at all in even more confused about the lore of darkiplier thanks
For how come why?
@ I don’t think you did a good job explaining anything about dark or in AKM at all as someone who doesn’t watch Markiplier I also get confused really easily.
Fair enough. What did you find confusing? Was it the history, his appearance in WKM, something else? I’d like to improve on my communication
I watched labrinth right before watching this wth
That’s because Labyrinth is awesome
I will say there was more times Mark talked about Darkiplier pre IDWM, the most notable example in my brain is the times he played fan games that included Darkiplier and talked about how he didn't understand why everyone latched onto the concept so much, but enjoyed seeing all of the art and creativity that came for it...
and also lightly foreshadowed that he wanted to do something with the character for his community.
and he did. C:
I have a small theory that beyond the house, or perhaps in conjunction with it or as a part of it, is us, we the viewers. These eyes from beyond their walls of reality, influencing the stories, watching the stages and plays. We choose the paths in the adventures, the ones who solve the mysteries, the people who made darkiplier. A stream of creatives back and forth between Mark and his fan base, the two entities who control the world around the characters.
I like this perspective on the universe ^_^
@@Eddeha Thankies, Matey!
While I don't fully agree with the perspectives taken on some of these things, gotta say tis a well edited and scripted video, matey, well done.
