I do love that Itoi wanted to have all sorts of characters who don't usually show up in games get their time in the spotlight in Mother 3... without necessarily trying to be pushy about any sort of message. Another game might spell it out to you that being mean to them for being different is wrong. But in Mother 3 they just sort of chill with everyone else. Their differences are acknowledged, but nobody makes a big deal out of them or rejects the character because of them. I think that's the best way to deal with prejudice. Acknowledge the differences, but treat them as irrelevant. Treat them the same as any other irrelevant difference.
Heck yah, Boney in Action! I love your perspective on Mother 3. The Boney scene is pure hype. I love transferring my in real life dogs from throughout my life onto the dogs from this series.
MARCOVARIUS... my man. The dogs of MOTHER, and especially Boney, are what really made me embrace naming the characters after people i know. it's the silliest little touch that usually does nothing for me in other games, but, with MOTHER 3, it just feels right!! and dude when the lightning strikes in the distance i lose my shit every single time lol Boney is a hero
Boney is my literal favorite character in Mother 3 (okay *alongside* the twins). I think that intentionally or not, Mother 3 demonstrates the bond between humans and pets through Boney. It always bugs me when people say Boney is useless because he’s not. He’s by far the fastest, and while it’s not exclusive to him - is by far the best user of bombs. And the ability to almost guarantee heal someone turn one is a huge advantage. Boney can quickly use a healing item on the team. And on top of all of it, his damage output is pretty respectable. He’s a great character all in all in my opinion, I’m so glad Boney is a permanent member of the team. Truly the goodest boi
Always love some more Frog Content Between the scripting, the voiceover and the editing this series has such a homely vibe that you don't find all too often It really fits the style of MOTHER especially (I say as someone who is practically being introduced to these games via this series)
Thank you so much for this comment, Starlee. Honestly, your reaction to this series is exactly what I sought out to create. Sure, it hinges a lot on "analysis," but I mostly wanted it to be an experience with one of my favorite games ever, that I could share with others. So, the fact that it feels "homely" to you makes me so happy. I want it to be its own little cozy home
@@MumboMod Things are going well! Still liking my new job, and have a BIG new video coming out pretty soon. I'm excited for you to see it!! And Frog #10 is already written and recorded so hopefully that'll be out soon, too. MOMENTUM
@@CoyoteCocktail ah that's so exciting! Really glad the job is treating you well and you've got great creative momentum alongside it :) Take your time though, don't burn yourself out! I'm actually on a little travelling adventure at the moment, I watched this episode near Komodo, Indonesia 😂 Frog by Frog by Dragon
thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! your timing is actually impeccable--I have a new video coming out this friday! it isn't for this series (next episode still in production), but if you like Funky Kong Lore then you'll be in for a treat :P
the one downside to these posts/videos is that the closer we get to the infamous reveal, the more it puts me on edge. it's much easier to ignore what happened at that cliff when you're not playing the game frog-by-frog, so the anticipation is tearing me apart! I eagerly (and fearfully) await the next video...
hello friend :) thank you, as always, for sharing your thoughts. it always warms my hear to hear from you. and YES the next video is a doozy, but the one after that... it's the BIG ONE it honestly might be the longest Frog by Frog ever, and it's in two parts... it literally might be like a 2 hour video lol
I LOVE THE VIDEOS
Such a shame they barley get any views

easy subscribe. Mother 3 is one of my favorite games ever and this video essay was incredible. I can’t wait to see what you’ll make in the future!

It's been a bit since I saw one of these.
i hope you have been well, Aerth!! it's good to see you.
Cool video

I can't believe you actually hired Lucas Mother 3 himself to be an editor
Lucas is a lovely editor!!
