    Let me get this right , So Alan is physically in real time out of the dark place , or becoming one with the dark place , he is becoming master of worlds , meaning now he can be in and out of the dark place as he pleases , now he can see both realities , for example he can look and see both versions Of NYC on top of each other like 2 layers , In other words now he can be at 2 different places at the same time keeping in mind that in the dark place he can create thing and characters while in real world he can only influence events or create circumstances , so basically he is getting a power upgrade , or maybe becoming like Mr. Door … it means that Alan now can drag people into the dark place and get them out … If Alan goes Rogue nobody can stop him even the director herself

Whether or not you make a video about any DLCs, watching your videos on this series has been a delight😊

  • @nendymion
    @nendymion 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    One thing to not with Dr. Casper Darling is that during the two videos you can of him is that in the first video he comments on how the dreamers voice kind of sounds like his own, and during the second video Zane remarks on Caspers build. I don't recall if anything is said about their similarities in the second video though. The game does say there are three videos but as of right now you can't get the third one since it may be tied to the DLC content. Same goes with Warlin Doors second night springs video.

    An interesting ”double” to Alice’s photo of the hand reaching for the clicker (to retrieve it), is that it is the exact motif of one of Logan’s drawings in her room. I wonder if Logan’s art in someway inspire Alice or work in some other way. The drawing is near the photo of Tor and Odin and the Cult member with the clicker.

    • @ObiGynKenobi
      @ObiGynKenobi 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Interesting! Assuming that art is one of the real aspects of Logan that was transplanted into the story of her life in watery, it makes sense that she, as both an Anderson and a Door, would have similar preternatural abilities to her mother. So perhaps she had a vision of that event, in the form of a dream or something.

    • @Thechezbailey
      @Thechezbailey 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I have been thinking of options, and I'm also excited. It seems like the Dark Place represents the shadow archetype. It affects everyone in different ways, especially artists, who struggle the most with darkness and negativity. Alan was able to incorporate his own shadow -- Scratch, the sum of everything negative about him -- and that has made him enlightened. He accepts his dark side now. He is in control. From here, it's not exactly smooth sailing. According to Jungian psychology, the archetypal shadow can't be neglected. It needs to be fed, and it needs to be acknowledged. If Alan slips in his enlightened ways, or if he breaks his own rules, Scratch could resurface.
      Maybe that won't happen, but instead the Dark Place could encounter an artist of similar renown, causing it to create a new monster, and Alan will have to use his enlightenment and narrative skill to guide someone else out and defeat a new threat to the world at the same time. Could be Alice, as she still seems to be stuck there, or it could be Zane again, with his new buddy.
      Or, most likely in my opinion, Mr. Door might involve himself somehow. The Dark Place may factor into his plans (his motivations are quite unclear still). They could just make Alan a superhero with the ability to write cool shit into existence according to a set of narrative rules to set up an avengers-endgame-style battle against Mr. Door, involving all the remedyverse heroes. It all depends on how this universe comes together.
      I think we will see some combination of these, as there are too many big, named characters trapped in the Dark Place still. I think the Dark Place will now have a new "dreamer," and Mr. Door might reveal a wish to control that dreamer or the place itself by force to use as a weapon. Mr. Door, who can go anywhere he likes, seems very interested in the Dark Place, considering he's often seen there, and is killing Breakers just because they investigate him. He is also disappointed in Alan when he can't escape or seems too curious. He says he's mad because Saga is involved, but I didn't get the feeling that was because of warm fuzzy love. He has a plan for her. The only people who could shed light on Door's motives are Tor and Odin, and they are with him in the Dark Place. They sent him there, it seems. I'd guarantee he has an overarching motive he is desperate to keep hidden from everyone, and those are rarely surprise birthday parties. No matter how you slice it, Alan will be critical.

      @josh___something 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I had assumed the overlap scratch made into the dark place in his victory was more reality than dark place. The eternal Deerfest WAS happening in reality, with scratch freely able to twist it into its own will. Like how watery and Brightfalls were warping to fit return once scratch was let out, but at its strongest. So, when the story concludes and Scratch is back where they belong, it peels back into reality.
      So, Alan, Casey, and Saga were effectively back. With the AWE done, and whatever remnants stained onto brightfalls.

    Do you believe the the dark presence is also a hostile resonance? Alan described it as unlike the hiss but not so dissimilar that they couldn't interact" or something along those lines. I'm trying to figure out if all paranatural entities are resonance based or if there are other forms they can take, but there seems to be a lack of information to draw upon in that place as we've seen maybe 4 entities total, so I find it difficult to imagine what other ways these higher beings can engage with our plane. Resonance, vibrations, light travels in a wavelength, I thing that's a clue, however I don't think I like the answer it leads to, I want there to be still stranger ways for them to affect the physical world.

      Definite intentional similarities. Unfortunately Remedy doesn't hold the rights to QB and they've confirmed it's not part of the Remedyverse. Same with Max Payne (held by Rockstar) which is why they made "Alex Casey". But they did buy the full rights to Control, so who knows what the future holds.

  • @KingWesleyIV
    @KingWesleyIV 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hedron does not exist. It has been all but explicitly stated by even the developers of the game that "Hedron" is what Darling named the device in the Oldest House and the entity he thought was contained within. However it is shown very very explicitly that it is empty, and instead Jesse is the vessel for "Hedron". If you can find one piece of evidence to support the idea that they are separate beings I would love to hear it, not just a single character musing on the possibility of it. The game goes above and beyond to make it very clear that the Hedron resonance comes directly from Jesse even before the device is destroyed. The two are bound together, and since Jesse was the first one to encounter and name it "Polaris" I'm going to go ahead and assume that's the name itself would likely choose.
    My personal headcannon is that Hedron / Polaris / Copy / Copy / Copy is a resonance that merely enhances / focuses the influence of consciousnesses it enters. Like placing mirrors together so they direct light to a point, or setting up acoustic panels to amplify sound waves. Whatever powers Polaris might give Jesse, I think she already had. Mainly evidenced by their lack of mutations when entering the slidescapes. They opened the "Hand" one last, so Polaris was not yet in contact with Jesse when they met the other entities that mutated other children. Jesse is the key. She has some kind of protective power that is just amplified using the Hadron resonance.

  • @TehNumberOneBigBoss
    @TehNumberOneBigBoss 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So you mention Tom Zane as being the Scratch of the real Tom Zane (The Diver), but lately I've been thinking that might not be the case. In fact, I'm pretty sure Tom Zane is the real Scratch, Mr. Scratch from American Nightmare. Just like the Dark Presence in the first game, he needs to "collaborate" with people to create his art, so he approaches people when they're at their lowest points (Like the Devil, also known as Old Scratch). Now, how did he come to exist though? He might be either a sentient being native to the Dark Place, another aspect of The Dark Place or (and this is where things get interesting) a pseudonym for Alan. Or an Heteronym. There's a Portuguese poet called Fernando Pessoa who is known for creating several different pseudonyms, each with their own voice, writing style/structure... With their own different lives even. And when asked about them, he actually talked about them as if they were different people. I fact, there's one in particular that he mentions as being his mentor or master. Well, if we translate this idea into the whole ouroboros-esque idea of who created whom (Zane created Alan or vice-versa) and the whole "you look like me" beat, that might explain some things. Like, a Heteronym that gained life, independence through the powers of The Dark Place.

    Did you know that the 2nd/"true" ending was only made possible or at least was unlocked because the game was a success and is loved by the fans? ;3
    That is why they said that New game+ would be releasing soon, after they won the game awards. ^^
    An ending can never be good, if the audience that will read the ending doesn't love it after all. ;3
    That is also one of the reasons why the "true" ending happened and Alan Wake is free. ;3
