Picky: Bro I don't know how to tell you this, so I'll whisper it into Ness' ear and he'll blurt it out in astonishment.
(Picky whispers something into Ness' ear.)
Ness: POKEY'S PREGNANT?!
i did NOT expect the earthbound novel to have porky vore giygas and become nikocado avocado
It's like the Jimmy Neutron episode where "Carl's Butt is Pregnant"-Sheen
I hate that I understand what you said.
Mother Novel: Ana's hair turns white.
Frozen: Anna's hair turns white
Coincidence?
Ana is Anna
Lloyd is Kristoff
Ninten is Hans.
Teddy is Olaf idk
I think NOT!!!!!!!!
Once in literature class i had to make a power point about something ive read but tbh i almost dont read so i ended up making a mother 3 history retrospective and i was pretending that it was a novelization of mother 3 but i acctualy didnt know that a mother novel existed lmao
DId they still fell for it?
I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing these novels become films of some sort. I should give them a read if I ever see them!
Thane Gaming you’re right.
We cannot lose to those Europeans.
I wasnt sure the mother 2 novel was for me but,,, that ending, ive gotta
I expected a lot of weird things from the novels, but inter-species teen mpreg wasn't one of them.
Hmm yes lore of Dark Aspects of the MOTHER Novels: The Complete Analysis momentum 100
I remember you making a community post about these about 6th months ago and… Wow. That’s all I can say, I can’t wait until I can have a full printed novel in English
Mother and Earthbound are an Eastern perspective on the earlier, simpler west. There wasn't much darkness in our culture yet
I mean maybe Everdread but that's about it lol
The world of MOTHER is very unique too in that it's a western setting from a Japanese perspective! The inverse would be you or I creating a game about a kid living in what we envision to be Tokyo, referencing the Japanese culture that inspires us (without leaning too heavily on stereotypes), while mixing in our western backgrounds.
I do think that darkness you're referring to has always existed, it was just a different kind when compared to today
I highly recommend Summer of 84. It's a horror movie but it focuses really well on the pitfalls of idealizing the 80's and what "being the hero" in a "kids on bikes movie" entails.
stuff has always been dark, perhaps less complicated in the past though.
@@ThaneGaming 😅
@@Ranixo286The 80s are very idealised compared to today. There is always danger, but it was not aided and abetted by revolutionary governments marching to the WEF's drumbeat.
No mass decolonisation projects leads to less crime.
i really really liked the Mother 2 book for everything except the whole Pokey is the host of Giygas thing (especially the finale oml). the finale makes it really hard for me to reccomend it to anyone though, and also makes it hard for me to consider reading again
Honestly, I _wish_ MOTHER was a mushy teen romance novel. That would be cool.
1:06:09 That sequence is actually showing us the true extent of Ness’s power in the novel.
….so yeah, technically speaking Ness COULD do all that if he wanted too.
I didn't expect to hear about alien mpreg from this video but here I am
Hmm the novels seem like EarthBound/Mother fanfictions
Pretty much--they can't be considered canon since many of the events contradict what happens in the games! You can see them as fanfictions written at the request of Itoi 😅 though I like the idea that these are alternate worlds in the same universe. which could work given the end of book 2...
And the games themselves give me modern indie rpg vibes ooooooooooo
10:09 Audrey II, or Mother Brain in Captain N.
Could the other reality that the Earthboundverse converged with be the Motherverse? That way both books are canon. Both Mother and most of Earthbound take place in separate worlds until Earthbound's ending had the two worlds merge to create a new one.
The bloodsucking plant with lips asking to be fed reminds me of The Little Shop of Horrors.
Been WAAAAITIN for this!! Hell yea!
Hope you enjoy the video! Feels like it's been in the works forever 😅 it's always satisfying to post the "completed" version!
Pokey got pregnancy cravings
More MOTHER 3 content and in compilation form! Nice!
great video! it’s pretty interesting how much is different in the book. i was working on an earthbound rom hack while watching it and started wondering if it would be possible to make a hack put the story (or as much of it as possible) into the game. i might go somewhere with that in the future.
A rom hack? Why not a fangame?
i loved mother 1's novel, the dance between ana and ken were mesmerizing to me.
you're the best youtuber i've watched in ages
I’m back aye, time to watch this to start my day
Happy New Year !!!
Thanks so much, and a Happy New Year to you as well!
Yay
Thought you might like to know I've been subscribed to you for a while but for whatever reason TH-cam hasn't been showing me your videos even though you've been making them I know your last one was 3 weeks ago but I haven't seen a video of yours pop up in my feed in quite some time.
Oh thanks for letting me know! Do you see community posts by chance (polls, updates, etc.?) those tend to have a wide reach, so I'm thinking about leaning more into those for 2023 and linking to new videos of mine. I've found that the recommendations/home page is great sometimes but unfortunately unreliable for viewers & creators. There are some channels I watch lots of content from start to finish, and so new videos will appear in my feed for a while, but then it just stops for whatever reason (even though my interest never faltered). I have a running list of TH-camrs I like, to check in on occasionally so I don't have to depend on the algorithm 😅 thank you again for telling me this, it really helps!
@@ThaneGaming this was the first thing that came into my notifications and a good while so no I haven't seen anything other than this.
@@ThaneGaming and the bell icon is shaded in like I have it set to every video
@@ThaneGaming never seen one of your polls though actually but yeah no problem like the channel.
@@partofthetribe3277 That's very strange! My only guess would be the length--do you tend to watch longer videos? I seem to have more success with videos that are over an hour, I think YT generally pushes them more nowadays
There's a novel??????💖💖
Where's the dance from? 2:44
From this Hobonichi ad! th-cam.com/video/rYIqZia-Q10/w-d-xo.html
How does insurance not cover a hot and run?
Nvm I guess if you don't have a dash cam with liability it would be hard to prove
@@partofthetribe3277 That's right, we had general liability insurance, which only protected us if we were responsible for an accident, so we didn't have coverage for this kind of situation (a dash cam could have changed things, though)!
@@ThaneGaming yeah it's dumb because with liability you would think it would be the other way around like with cheaper insurance you would think that something would have to be not your fault in order for you to be covered
Does anyone have a pdf link?
You can read the translations here on Nyaasu's website, via Google Docs (and download as a PDF)! nyaasunobouken.com/mother.htm
@@ThaneGaming cheers fam 💪🏼
@@jasonkh4 Hope you enjoy reading them, Happy New Year!
@@ThaneGaming it’s mostly for reference, but I am a pretty big fan of the Mother lore. I first completed Earthbound as a teenager back in ‘98, and it changed me like it did so many others. Almost 25 years later, and I’ve only just recently learned about the Codex Gigas, the largest known medieval illuminated manuscript in the world. I won’t say too much about it, maybe you’ve even already heard of it, but anyways it kinda blew my mind in light of all the other urban legends surrounding the Earthbound/Mother narrative. Itoi really went for it with this series, definitely a pioneer, and not just in terms of gaming, but in terms of how stories are told.
@@jasonkh4 I actually hadn't heard about the Codex Gigas until now, so thank you! I just searched it and what I (briefly) read was very interesting, so I'll have to look more into it soon. Itoi is probably my favorite creator, ever--the main reason I'm such a big fan of this series and its lore is the multitude of interviews with fascinating insight offering his inspirations & intentions. I have to agree with you, Itoi truly does break the mold as a storyteller with his unabashedly unique perspective on life!
fan fiction
Thank you
Why did Earthbound have to have mpreg in it?
Just... Why?
I don't really care about the "being pregnant with an eldritch abomination" part, but mpreg? Just, no.
Alright, my priorities are very skewed.
But blame Rose for the eldritch abomination thing being okay to me.
