that would be awesome slig revolution but instead of freeing your slave likes like the mudokons you fight for profit and higher bonuses and right to beat anyone you see

It’s the oldest lesson in history always pay the guys that do the fighting otherwise they will find their own payment. And historically people with weapons do not take IOUs
@@claytondavis6835 Or, you pay some even bigger guys to keep the smaller guys in line so regardless of how little you pay the little guys, the bigger guys will keep them in line.
@@funkmantim2661 then you’d best pay those big guys some money up front and hope they trust you not to repeat the process. Otherwise they’ll take the money and stiff you by letting the little guys tear you to pieces
Just good business. Having turned them like this he knows they would just as easily do so again. And that he can't trust any other sligs as well. So cheaper to keep on their good side than to betray them.
@@zellosoli I kinda get the idea that it’s probably the best deal any sligs ever got from any glukkon in the known history of Oddworld. -and that's reguardless of if Mulluk goes through with the deal as stated, or if he hits them with a technicality.
And this is why you treat your employees with respect and pay them what they're owed. Because if you don't, there's really nothing stopping them from turning on you.
I love the fact that the glukkons is so arogant and prideful to the point they wanted to blame mullock then admiting that a mudokons capable to outsmart them all lmao
I mean it’s not just pride. They would probably get flamed/destroyed if the public found out that a slave took down the farms they would probably be seen as incompetent and loose a lot of business.
@@TheFPSKingsGaming And from what Molluck's co-pilot relays to his boss long before this moment, confirming that he was one of the Sligs in the first game who witnessed his own buddies being possessed and turning against each other, Abe's efforts do come off as less of a single slave being a puzzle platformer protagonist and more like a terrifying supernatural boogieman that came out of nowhere. It also lends a whole lot more weight to his "Do you wanna get possessed by that supernatural freak wreaking havoc out there" line. Can't exactly blame the Glukkons for thinking that Abe doesn't exist, or for believing what feels more plausible from their perspective.
@@Yeorl Plus they were simply too arrogant to believe that a single slave would have the guts to rebel and ACTUALLY succeed despite all odds being against him. Also, those Gluks never saw Abe in person, unlike Molluck.
I'd say "pay your armed forces" in general. Machiavelli has some REALLY nasty things to say about mercenaries. Not that the end result wouldn't have been the same, mind...
All human societies are defined by power. The most direct form of power is violence. Governments only last so-long as they hold a monopoly on violence.
and if you read about battles, never use them as your reserves, always put them in a position where treachury means certain death but loyalty might mean profit

It’s the realistic approach to this game that intrigues me like the original just had the factory blow up and kill the glukkons like a bunch of James Bond villains in this they’re gunned down by rogue sligs more believable and terrifying

Sligs may be a bit slow witted, but even they have their limits. You can only watch your buddies lives be thrown away for so long before you finally decide to do something.
To be fair Sligs have "room temperature intelligence". I am not joking that is in their lore, that is why most rooms in factories and Glokkun rooms have high to humid temperatures. But besides them being as smart as their biology allows them Sligs are very greedy and resentful folks. The only reason the serve the Glukken is to get paid, use cool weapons and because they like abusing others weaker than them.
@@bernardotorres5274 they're also sold off when they're born by a resentful mother who outright hates them for the pain of childbirth. They're slaves like the Mudokins just given the illusion of power (least till they realize Gluggins are helpless)

@@RavenSoldierthatthatssuffering That plus they're the ones with the technological enhancements that make up for a lack of a second pair of usable appendages; thus giving them the ability to USE those guns in the first place.
I still believe that the Pilot Slig and Mullock's most loyal Slig who's got to be the most intelligent Slig I've ever seen in my life is also the same Slig that was struck by lightning in Oddworld Abe's Oddysee and New N' Tasty.
This is why I find Molluck to be kind of likable in Soulstorm. He learned a bit of humility, even let his closest, almost friend, who's a lowly Slig, off when he angred him by speaking a little too freely about his failure at Rupture Farms, which any of the other Glukkons would have likely had him executed for. This is not in the normal nature of his species, so while he's certainly not redeemed, he's at least more relatable now than the others after being forced down a peg and humbled. The fact that he also kept his promise to his new Slig entourage made me smile. Even though this might have just been for self-preservation, it still suggests that he learned to never again take anything for granted, and that it's better to sacrifice a bit of profit to keep a loyal troupe than to skimp on the pay and be surrounded by armed guards who only serve out of fear and are revolutions just waiting to happen.
In the situation he's in, he HAS to play his cards right. He doesn't LIKE having to dish out Moolah after he already lost pretty much every source of income he had; but he knew he'd have more to lose if he continued to let his name get smeared. He also knew if he didn't make good on his deal with the Sligs, they could easily do to him what he hired them to do to Brewmaster, Aslik, and Morguer.
Wow, i'm amazed. the artist actually stick to the tone of the originals. This scene feels like it belongs in the world. This consistency is rare. Every video game usually abandons their original style for something more mainstream. This is beautiful.
This scene probably would have been in the original Exodus but that got rushed out so much content was cut Soulstorm is more inline with the creators vision
The original Oddworld games had a grungy and uncanny awkwardness to them. As a kid I thought it was due to either technology not being up to snuff and/or just bad writing. Nowadays I know that was all intentional. Oddworld's charm partly stems from being a bit stilted and uncomfortable. I'm really glad to see the new team recognized this too. They absolutely nailed the uncanny awkwardness of Oddworld.
That slig leader is very smart doing all this infront of the others rather then just telling them what was told, also props to molluk i think his name is he doesn't know this so could have told his top slightly to lie but swallowed his pride and I reckon made some very loyaly sligs
@@clayxros576 And ONLY him, if the other Grukkons been stiffing their own soldiers. That'll create a ripple in the Sligs for sure. More would flock to Mullock knowing they'd be taken care of and in turn, Mullock would probably have the larger of Sligs under his command.
@@michelveilleux1275 He could probably keep making a tidy profit too, using the more than willing Sligs as labor and not even needing to keep them enslaved. He plays his cards right, he could become kingpin with ease
Just goes to show that Mullock is one of the smarter Gluks out there. He knows that it’s better to stay on his new hired guns’ good side, now that he’s a fugitive. Dude knows how to play his cards right. And even in Oddysee, Mullock kept a level head in a situation where most Glukkons would panic. We see it in Exoddus, where the Glukkons in charge are freaking out because their profits are taking a hit. Mullock just keeps his cool and devises a new scheme (albeit a brutal one).
Yes, I loved the original one still and that pantless slig saying, “ We’re screwed, pants get some pants “ as the alarms go off after Abe shut off the “ ze” boiler.
What I love about the Sligs is that really, they have a lot in common with the Mudokons, they aren't all that bright and are prone to goofing around, they are just as much slaves to the Glukkons corporate machine as the Mudos are, and without their cybernetic implants they are kinda weak and useless. The Glukkons view them as tools of security, not as employees, and I was happy to see the Sligs get a bit more development in this game.
"Hey guys, you wanna get possessed by that supernatural freak reeking havoc out there. Or are we flying to the Yamans and sipping frosty poladas on a humid beach?" I love how Mullock's Slig says that.
I love the idea that the chauffeur went on a stealth mission, saw two groups from different factions/employers, and decided it was perfectly safe to get right in the middle of them and spill his boss's plan.
The animation sells it. You can just see how much he is one step away to get them all chopped up into meat treats in that moment and how annoyed he is at having to give that motivational reply of being in this together
@@StarMechV But he realizes he is backed into a corner, he is no doubt be hunted for possible fruad with no support from the cartel so either he agrees to the Sligs terms or lose everything.
@@blackdemonknight makes me curious what will Oddworld Inhabitants do with Molluck in future instalments. While I doubt he may be flat out redeemed I have the feeling he will continue to inadvertently end up aiding in Abe's journey without even realizing it
@@StarMechV If he want's to ensure the cartel can't find him and execute him he may just continue to help Abe in secert cause as Alf will say later 'They escaped hours ago why aren't they chasing them' mening Abe in unaware that Molluck sort of helped him escape by elminating the three Glucks even if it was for his own ends
@@blackdemonknight Plus he still wants revenge on Abe so I don’t know if he’ll become a genuine ally in the future or not. I see him taking more of a Boba Fett turn and that he’ll eventually lose interest in Abe and simply take over the remnants of the glukkon industry as the new kingpin.
This game has a very unique approach to its endings and I've never seen anything like it ever done in a video game before. Basically a good ending for Abe is a good ending for Molluck and a bad ending for Abe is a bad ending for Molluck. It hints at the idea that their destinies are somehow intertwined and that there might be a good side to Molluck that we don't yet know of. Lorne Lanning is a genius.
personally I think that somewhere in the end to reconcile all races on oddworld to live in peace and not kill / eat each other and not focus on profit, some magical ritual will be made and 1 willing member of each race will have to participate in it and I think it will be Molluck for Glukkons...after all, according to lore glukkons were not originally evil and lived together with mudokons, just when the mudokon moon appeared and mudokons started acting as the chosen race of oddworld with magic, did glukkons get upset and broken ties with them and went on down a science path to overwhelm mudokons with science, which they mostly did by the time Abe lives
@@chinesecabbagefarmer I don't know when, but I know Abe is gonna break. He won't be meek, he will become a ball of rage. It might not happen quickly, but the weight of the Glukkons's quarma will bear down on him.
I'm my opinion, this was the best scene in the whole game. The others are AWESOME but this one...this one guys...this is pure gold! I always hoped for something like this when i was a child, i was like:" why must Sligs stay under Glukkon's orders when they can outplay them so easily? Why must they live the horrible lives they are living?" and then, finally, this happened. I am so happy. Would be awesome if Oddworld creates a side story for Mullok, his Slig and the Slig's bros; it would be hilariously fun. I want to go to the Yaymans with them, absolutely.
But aren’t they just moving from one Glukkon to another? They’re all gonna be serving under Mullock now who’s gonna use them to take revenge on Abe as the kingpin of Oddworld.
@@robbieking4070 Now they're under Mullok because they got scammed from Alisk and Morgeut, so, for this time, they sided up with him to be safe from Abe and live an happy holiday; probably until Mullok gets another chance to capture Abe. But his plans changed when they got to the Brewery, for now Mullok just fants to stay away for a lot of time
@@robbieking4070 Plus it disproves that the Sligs are stupid which is what they are considered, the security of Alisk and Morguer knew they were being cheated out by them for there earned pay and the chauffer knew Molluck needed him and them to help but wanted to ensure they got rightfully awarded so they are smarter then what Oddworld credits them for.
Those executive Glukk's got what was coming, make that a lesson to all Glukkons not to screw over their security sligs out of their ot & bonuses or they'll go order 66 on ya. 😂😂😂
@@robbieking4070 Probably why that one newspaper article in the best ending talks about Molluck going to the Yaymans - he's making sure those other sligs don't have a reason to turn their guns on him.
It still blows my mind to see Oddworld getting a theatrical treatment like this. From barely beating it on the ps one as kid and falling in low with their design, to seeing new life being breathed into this series is amazing.
I love how Molluck is responding to his own Sligs Assurances. His Slig is even Hesitant to keep making Demands. But Molluck just response immediately to the 1st 2 assurances. when they come to an Agreement, Molluck is still in control.( even if it made himself cringe a bit lol ) Simple and Very effective Dialogue combined with the delivery is so good!
"The befuddled look frozen on the Brewmaster's dead face was a vision I would always relish. Even as we pumped him full of lead, the idiot couldn't believe that a bunch of Sliggies were taking his life."
When the sligs started shooting: FOR THE GRACE AND THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD! FOR THE HOME OF THE HOLY! WE REJECT YOUR SWAY ON OUR SOUL! AND PUT LED IN YOUR BELLY!
I hope Mullock gets "redeemed". Not in the sense that be becomes a good guy, but his actions in this and demeanor through the game makes me think he's close to doing his own thing and going against the Magog Cartel.
I’m hoping it ends with him confronting abe but instead of killing him allowing him to shut down the cartel. Maybe with a level with abe running along side the slig rebels
It was just a matter of time till the Sligs have to unchain themselves from slavery and kill their ignorant glukkon boses. I love this scene. Seeing a real canon Slig order 66 is the best thing Oddworld Inhabitant can do beside a only Slig game. Maybe this scene is just the start of something big for the Sligs. Also this game is really hard when you try to not kill the Sligs.
It would be great if we would create a DLS where we would have to play for a slig who is trying to avoid punishment and escape, as he progresses, he would understand that those ideals that were stupid into their heads
@@justinjanicki6561 Slig who disobeys the order is waiting for "severe punishment from the queen" so what if the story of how one of the Slig was trying with all his might to escape in order to avoid his death and then he would find a settlement like him After all, the Sligs originally lived in swampy areas
Aslik, Morguer and Brewmaster were in complete denial about Abe's existence. And their businesses ended up getting ruined as a result. They got what they deserved for wanting to pin the blame on Molluck even further. Even though Molluck has been trying to escape punishment for losing Rupture Farms, He wasn't at fault for them losing their own companies.
@@Darkstar263 and Mullock is going to hide in a tourist attraction. Not very smart at all. Alluding in a newspaper in other scenes. Implying a firing squad is in order.
I’ve never wished a Glukk well before, but now? I kinda hope Moll and the Sligs have a fuckin grand old time down in the Yayman isles, especially if they had the wherewithal to loot the room after gunning down their former bosses.
Are we going to ignore the fact that in the scene where the Sligs are about to kill the Gluks, Morgue is using Aslik's body as a meatshield by hiding behind him like a scaredy cat? XD
I think that in a very odd way, Molluck and Abe will rebuild the ancient alliance that the Mudockens and the Gluckons had. It makes sense as Molluck will be now more focused on his own self preservation, and his sligs will likely not want to fight Abe. So therefore, Abe's uprisings just create more opportunities for Molluck to consolidate power. In the end, the two will probably come to an armistice due to how Molluck doesn't want to fight Abe, and Abe doesn't want to be enslaved again.
Don't forget the Glukkons have financiers they mentioned in this clip who they report to (there are always higher-ups until you get to the top of the pyramid). Molluck will just be the only Glukkon left to report to them now, so unfortunately there'll be no rebuilding of any ancient alliance anytime soon. Thankfully however, we have Abe and his buddies fighting the good fight so hope isn't lost 😢
The Glukkons are signing their death sentence as they never seems to realize that Muddokons are physically stronger than them and their Sligs and possess Magic which they have forsaken. Once Muddokons start to rebel in the open, the Glukkons will fall easily as they cannot defend themselves.
When I remember about that scene is how quiet it was after Abe makes a new flavor at the Brewery Captain Slig is sent to investigate on Brewmasters company orders it was a silent trip
We all knew it was about to happen what they're about to do. Does the Sligs have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps but no one said a word.
Shows that Molluck and some sligs, maybe even an albino slig as a main, could star in their own game. Less platformer puzzle, more action shooter. Gotta get that moolah while recruiting sligs and keeping them happy, mixing in that Quarma element. Molluck is as important as Abe in all of this.
So remember in the original game you get bad ending when you dont save enough of your buddy? Well for big bosses in this game, they get the bad ending by taking all their bonuses from Sligs for themselves too much. Its like opposite thing.
I wouldn't exactly call it a revolution. It's more of changing their allegiance to a different Glukkon boss. A revolution is if the Sligs tried to overthrow all of the Glukkons.
I'd like to say i find this Gluk redesign kinda unexpected but rather good. They no have way more...realistic looks, yet more human-like. In previous installments Gluks always was way too cartoony, with wide range of colors and such, now they look less "interesting" but something you can believe is real living thing.
One of my favourite scenes in the game haha. I kind of want a game where we just play as the Sligs and go on a revolution!

- Pay all bonuses

I still believe that the Pilot Slig and Mullock's most loyal Slig who's got to be the most intelligent Slig I've ever seen in my life is also the same Slig that was struck by lightning in Oddworld Abe's Oddysee and New N' Tasty.
Surprised he survived, especially since in New 'n' Tasty he's shown having a heart attack when his metal legs fall off.
That slig has been beside a glukkon for half of his life and other sligs the other half
He knows just what buttons to push
Aside from his tendency to unwittingly rub it in to Molluck just how far south things have gone for him.
This is why I find Molluck to be kind of likable in Soulstorm.
He learned a bit of humility, even let his closest, almost friend, who's a lowly Slig, off when he angred him by speaking a little too freely about his failure at Rupture Farms, which any of the other Glukkons would have likely had him executed for.

He made the wise choice to give the Sligs their money. As a Glukkon, he would've been completely powerless if he had refused to pay them.

He also knew if he didn't make good on his deal with the Sligs, they could easily do to him what he hired them to do to Brewmaster, Aslik, and Morguer.
Not might, he defo did it out of self preservation. Don't get it twisted
Wow, i'm amazed. the artist actually stick to the tone of the originals. This scene feels like it belongs in the world. This consistency is rare. Every video game usually abandons their original style for something more mainstream. This is beautiful.
You gotta love the new layer of paint, but there's not a doubt in my mind this is still Oddworld.
Oddworld built a setting not quite like any other. It's good to see that it's holding on even all these years later.
you mean with the terrible Abe's HD remake where the lighting screwed up the feel and gameplay?
This scene probably would have been in the original Exodus but that got rushed out so much content was cut Soulstorm is more inline with the creators vision
The original Oddworld games had a grungy and uncanny awkwardness to them. As a kid I thought it was due to either technology not being up to snuff and/or just bad writing. Nowadays I know that was all intentional. Oddworld's charm partly stems from being a bit stilted and uncomfortable.
I'm really glad to see the new team recognized this too. They absolutely nailed the uncanny awkwardness of Oddworld.
That slig leader is very smart doing all this infront of the others rather then just telling them what was told, also props to molluk i think his name is he doesn't know this so could have told his top slightly to lie but swallowed his pride and I reckon made some very loyaly sligs
The fact that in the news paper said he held up his end to the Sligs proves that he was better than most others.😅
@@michelveilleux1275
That also speaks well to other sligs. The fact he keeps his promises means they can rely on him for wages or resources.
@@clayxros576 And ONLY him, if the other Grukkons been stiffing their own soldiers. That'll create a ripple in the Sligs for sure. More would flock to Mullock knowing they'd be taken care of and in turn, Mullock would probably have the larger of Sligs under his command.
@@michelveilleux1275
He could probably keep making a tidy profit too, using the more than willing Sligs as labor and not even needing to keep them enslaved. He plays his cards right, he could become kingpin with ease
@@clayxros576 and finally retire pretty and in peace with willing and loyal guards with him, paid their proper wages. Ah, a dream.☺
So this game literally takes place a day after Oddysee... That's interesting, also I have mad respect for the sligs now they've executed order 66
Yep. These Sligs are loyal to Mullock and wants to go to Yaymans
@@alexanderwells4402 Not so much loyal to him as seeing a golden opportunity to step up in the world.
@@BlackIce3190 Or at least take a trip to the Yaymans and not get possessed by that supernatural freak out there.
It‘s possible days on Oddworld are simply longer than on Earth
@@manospondylus I Mean It Is Ten Times The Size
Just goes to show that Mullock is one of the smarter Gluks out there. He knows that it’s better to stay on his new hired guns’ good side, now that he’s a fugitive. Dude knows how to play his cards right.
And even in Oddysee, Mullock kept a level head in a situation where most Glukkons would panic. We see it in Exoddus, where the Glukkons in charge are freaking out because their profits are taking a hit. Mullock just keeps his cool and devises a new scheme (albeit a brutal one).
as a wise man once said "Better an empty pocket then a full grave."
"But Mullock was cool he had a plan"
Afterall
He is known as
*Mullock THE Gluckkon*
All it's missing is Brewmaster saying "It's not fair! We had twice ze flavourr!" before being brained
Yes, I loved the original one still and that pantless slig saying, “ We’re screwed, pants get some pants “ as the alarms go off after Abe shut off the “ ze” boiler.
@@jane1975”The Boiler?”
The Sligs were always my favorites; glad they got some well-deserved screen time.
Sligs lives matter
Hell yeah, Sligs are one of my favorite parts of Oddworld.
What I love about the Sligs is that really, they have a lot in common with the Mudokons, they aren't all that bright and are prone to goofing around, they are just as much slaves to the Glukkons corporate machine as the Mudos are, and without their cybernetic implants they are kinda weak and useless. The Glukkons view them as tools of security, not as employees, and I was happy to see the Sligs get a bit more development in this game.
@@dragonforks93 Watch Pupbennys video on the origins of the sligs, its a terribly sad story but gives so much depth to each little sliggie
Never stiff your security detail or else they’ll betray you when someone comes and pays them
Many's a Roman Emperor that learned that lesson on the end of a gladius.
"Hey guys, you wanna get possessed by that supernatural freak reeking havoc out there. Or are we flying to the Yamans and sipping frosty poladas on a humid beach?"
I love how Mullock's Slig says that.
Yaymans! Here we go!
@@jerseyhidalgo7421 *Points the guns at Gluckkons*
I love the idea that the chauffeur went on a stealth mission, saw two groups from different factions/employers, and decided it was perfectly safe to get right in the middle of them and spill his boss's plan.
The idea was to bribe some back up, and since the stiffing and all that, it's not just perfectly safe.
It's perfectly convenient.
Shows how little they are thought of by their Glukkon employers
3:05 "Nothing else ?" Damn, I love how Molluck's trying to contain himself. 😂
The animation sells it. You can just see how much he is one step away to get them all chopped up into meat treats in that moment and how annoyed he is at having to give that motivational reply of being in this together
@@StarMechV But he realizes he is backed into a corner, he is no doubt be hunted for possible fruad with no support from the cartel so either he agrees to the Sligs terms or lose everything.
@@blackdemonknight makes me curious what will Oddworld Inhabitants do with Molluck in future instalments. While I doubt he may be flat out redeemed I have the feeling he will continue to inadvertently end up aiding in Abe's journey without even realizing it
@@StarMechV If he want's to ensure the cartel can't find him and execute him he may just continue to help Abe in secert cause as Alf will say later 'They escaped hours ago why aren't they chasing them' mening Abe in unaware that Molluck sort of helped him escape by elminating the three Glucks even if it was for his own ends
@@blackdemonknight Plus he still wants revenge on Abe so I don’t know if he’ll become a genuine ally in the future or not. I see him taking more of a Boba Fett turn and that he’ll eventually lose interest in Abe and simply take over the remnants of the glukkon industry as the new kingpin.
This game has a very unique approach to its endings and I've never seen anything like it ever done in a video game before.
Basically a good ending for Abe is a good ending for Molluck and a bad ending for Abe is a bad ending for Molluck.
It hints at the idea that their destinies are somehow intertwined and that there might be a good side to Molluck that we don't yet know of.
Lorne Lanning is a genius.
personally I think that somewhere in the end to reconcile all races on oddworld to live in peace and not kill / eat each other and not focus on profit, some magical ritual will be made and 1 willing member of each race will have to participate in it and I think it will be Molluck for Glukkons...after all, according to lore glukkons were not originally evil and lived together with mudokons, just when the mudokon moon appeared and mudokons started acting as the chosen race of oddworld with magic, did glukkons get upset and broken ties with them and went on down a science path to overwhelm mudokons with science, which they mostly did by the time Abe lives
lorne has said that symbiosis is key to oddworld.
Molluck does not have a good side
Look when it comes to Glukons the bottoms line isn’t just in hell BUT THE DEEEPEST FREAKING CIRCLE so we can take what we can get
@@jacobmaitland3613 can you expand on that? I don't know what you're trying to say?
When your enemies turn on your other enemies just sit back and chill.
When the Glukkons are on the receiving end of a bad ending. That is good shit.
Never chill. Continue to meditate on the strategy leading to victory, for the battle is far from over.
@@chinesecabbagefarmer I don't know when, but I know Abe is gonna break. He won't be meek, he will become a ball of rage. It might not happen quickly, but the weight of the Glukkons's quarma will bear down on him.
I'm my opinion, this was the best scene in the whole game. The others are AWESOME but this one...this one guys...this is pure gold!
I always hoped for something like this when i was a child, i was like:" why must Sligs stay under Glukkon's orders when they can outplay them so easily? Why must they live the horrible lives they are living?" and then, finally, this happened. I am so happy.
Would be awesome if Oddworld creates a side story for Mullok, his Slig and the Slig's bros; it would be hilariously fun.
I want to go to the Yaymans with them, absolutely.
But aren’t they just moving from one Glukkon to another? They’re all gonna be serving under Mullock now who’s gonna use them to take revenge on Abe as the kingpin of Oddworld.
@@robbieking4070 it shows they have the abilities to betray their masters and will actually do what they want in the end
@@robbieking4070 Now they're under Mullok because they got scammed from Alisk and Morgeut, so, for this time, they sided up with him to be safe from Abe and live an happy holiday; probably until Mullok gets another chance to capture Abe. But his plans changed when they got to the Brewery, for now Mullok just fants to stay away for a lot of time
@@loris202 That’s true, but Abe hasn’t seen the last of him.
@@robbieking4070 Plus it disproves that the Sligs are stupid which is what they are considered, the security of Alisk and Morguer knew they were being cheated out by them for there earned pay and the chauffer knew Molluck needed him and them to help but wanted to ensure they got rightfully awarded so they are smarter then what Oddworld credits them for.
They're essentially a slig labor union. I dig it.
Those executive Glukk's got what was coming, make that a lesson to all Glukkons not to screw over their security sligs out of their ot & bonuses or they'll go order 66 on ya. 😂😂😂
That goes for Molluck too. His right hand may be on his side but those other sligs could just as easily turn their guns on him if he screws them over.
Every client is one missed payment away from becoming a target and every target is one bribe away from becoming a client.
@@robbieking4070 Probably why that one newspaper article in the best ending talks about Molluck going to the Yaymans - he's making sure those other sligs don't have a reason to turn their guns on him.
It still blows my mind to see Oddworld getting a theatrical treatment like this. From barely beating it on the ps one as kid and falling in low with their design, to seeing new life being breathed into this series is amazing.
I never even heard about this, but here we are. Love the setting and the original races.
Oddworld Inhabitants was founded by two people previously in the film industry. So the fact that they are showing their skills is amazing.
I love the Sligs so much and this is probably my favourite part of the whole series.
Best part of oddworld in my opinion.
4:55 I just realized the other day that Morguer was hiding behind Aslik. 🤣
3:57 did the slig just say what a dumbass?
Makes sense Sliggies wanna go to the Yaymans, they sleep more than they do their job 😂
I love how Molluck is responding to his own Sligs Assurances. His Slig is even Hesitant to keep making Demands. But Molluck just response immediately to the 1st 2 assurances. when they come to an Agreement, Molluck is still in control.( even if it made himself cringe a bit lol ) Simple and Very effective Dialogue combined with the delivery is so good!
Note to self, Never scam your own Bodyguards.
I am a simple slig, if i don't get paid i start blasting
But... arent you paid to blast aswell? o.O
@@MajorCoolD The blasting happens regardless. The money just determines which way the guns are pointing.
@@rayanderson5797 No words were ever more spoken with truth.
Two historical blunders.
A: start a landwar in asia.

"I've got ad many awaiting my Command"

"Oh my god. So stupid."
"The befuddled look frozen on the Brewmaster's dead face was a vision I would always relish. Even as we pumped him full of lead, the idiot couldn't believe that a bunch of Sliggies were taking his life."
When the sligs started shooting: FOR THE GRACE AND THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD! FOR THE HOME OF THE HOLY! WE REJECT YOUR SWAY ON OUR SOUL! AND PUT LED IN YOUR BELLY!
LOL DEUS VULT
Deus vult!
DEUS VULT BROTHERS!!!
I hope Mullock gets "redeemed". Not in the sense that be becomes a good guy, but his actions in this and demeanor through the game makes me think he's close to doing his own thing and going against the Magog Cartel.
I’m hoping it ends with him confronting abe but instead of killing him allowing him to shut down the cartel. Maybe with a level with abe running along side the slig rebels
It was just a matter of time till the Sligs have to unchain themselves from slavery and kill their ignorant glukkon boses. I love this scene. Seeing a real canon Slig order 66 is the best thing Oddworld Inhabitant can do beside a only Slig game. Maybe this scene is just the start of something big for the Sligs. Also this game is really hard when you try to not kill the Sligs.
And this is why you don’t stiff the guys you pay to carry the guns
It would be great if we would create a DLS where we would have to play for a slig who is trying to avoid punishment and escape, as he progresses, he would understand that those ideals that were stupid into their heads
That would be amaziballs!
So you mean Sligstorm? If they ever decide to make it
@@justinjanicki6561 If SoulStorm gets enough revenue, it's highly probable.
@@justinjanicki6561 Slig who disobeys the order is waiting for "severe punishment from the queen" so what if the story of how one of the Slig was trying with all his might to escape in order to avoid his death and then he would find a settlement like him
After all, the Sligs originally lived in swampy areas
The word sliggies just makes them sound adorable. 😂
Out of the four Glukkons in this game, Molluck's the only smart one.
Aslik, Morguer and Brewmaster were in complete denial about Abe's existence. And their businesses ended up getting ruined as a result.
They got what they deserved for wanting to pin the blame on Molluck even further. Even though Molluck has been trying to escape punishment for losing Rupture Farms, He wasn't at fault for them losing their own companies.
@@Darkstar263 and Mullock is going to hide in a tourist attraction. Not very smart at all. Alluding in a newspaper in other scenes. Implying a firing squad is in order.

0:35 I love how both are scared and then they take a breath just to put angry face
This is really making me want Oddworld Inhabitants to make that SligStorm game.
reminds me of the scene from the lion king when the hyenas kill scar
The ability of collective bargaining is illustrated perfectly here when we see the slings form a union on the spot!
These betrayal scenes in movies/games are always so satisfying. Watching the underdogs rise and get the last laugh
The cigar guy was actually treated his minions nicely
I see they finally achieved class consciousness
I hope they continue to expand on this universe. I loved these games growing up
those Glukkon bosses forgot an old saying, " either you pay your boys or someone else will."
I’ve never wished a Glukk well before, but now? I kinda hope Moll and the Sligs have a fuckin grand old time down in the Yayman isles, especially if they had the wherewithal to loot the room after gunning down their former bosses.
never forget: in the end, its those with weapons that always get the final say in who's in charge... and who isnt.
And THIS is why you don't skimp on security's paychecks.
Dying for your boss or Yay-man islands?
They clearly made the best choice. :P

Molluk looks like Squidward but sounds like Selvester Stallone (Jersey style). With a personality and hirarchy of SkekSil from The Dark Crystal movie.
And that's why you always treat your workforce well. When it comes to push and shove, the guys with the guns have the power.
The glukkons reminds me a little of the vogans from hitchhikers' guide to the Galaxy.
Are we going to ignore the fact that in the scene where the Sligs are about to kill the Gluks, Morgue is using Aslik's body as a meatshield by hiding behind him like a scaredy cat? XD
Not like it did much good considering how much body mass gluks actually have
@@returntosenderfenderbender5415 yeah, you got a point
morgue gives off the air of a military man, so he was trying to maximize his own survival here.
I think that in a very odd way, Molluck and Abe will rebuild the ancient alliance that the Mudockens and the Gluckons had. It makes sense as Molluck will be now more focused on his own self preservation, and his sligs will likely not want to fight Abe. So therefore, Abe's uprisings just create more opportunities for Molluck to consolidate power. In the end, the two will probably come to an armistice due to how Molluck doesn't want to fight Abe, and Abe doesn't want to be enslaved again.
Don't forget the Glukkons have financiers they mentioned in this clip who they report to (there are always higher-ups until you get to the top of the pyramid). Molluck will just be the only Glukkon left to report to them now, so unfortunately there'll be no rebuilding of any ancient alliance anytime soon. Thankfully however, we have Abe and his buddies fighting the good fight so hope isn't lost 😢
This was such a satisfying scene.
The Glukkons are signing their death sentence as they never seems to realize that Muddokons are physically stronger than them and their Sligs and possess Magic which they have forsaken. Once Muddokons start to rebel in the open, the Glukkons will fall easily as they cannot defend themselves.
Haha yeah, they look tall and imposing, but they're just 3' bigheads standing on their hands! XD
Holy fuck, this looks amazing. Cant even believe how much games have advanced since I was a kid.
The fear on the glukkons' eyes when the doors to the brewmaster's office opens is an amazing detail.
When I remember about that scene is how quiet it was after Abe makes a new flavor at the Brewery Captain Slig is sent to investigate on Brewmasters company orders it was a silent trip
We all knew it was about to happen what they're about to do. Does the Sligs have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps but no one said a word.
Not on the flight to the factory not when order 66 came down. And not when the Sligs assassinate the CEO's of Soulstorm Brewery. Not a word
Finally, the humble Slig Security Force gets some new firepower!
Lorne Lanning is just talking to himself throughout this entire cutscene 😂

Shows that Molluck and some sligs, maybe even an albino slig as a main, could star in their own game.
Less platformer puzzle, more action shooter.
Gotta get that moolah while recruiting sligs and keeping them happy, mixing in that Quarma element.
Molluck is as important as Abe in all of this.
Molluck is evil dude
and that guys, is why you dont stiff your own security force
Despite getting a Financial hit mulk is going to take
It is better to get allies now then make enemies in the future
So remember in the original game you get bad ending when you dont save enough of your buddy?
Well for big bosses in this game, they get the bad ending by taking all their bonuses from Sligs for themselves too much.
Its like opposite thing.
This is the good ending so Abe has good Quarma meaning the bad guys get Bad Quarma in return
I wouldn't exactly call it a revolution. It's more of changing their allegiance to a different Glukkon boss. A revolution is if the Sligs tried to overthrow all of the Glukkons.
These graphics are amazing, looks like an animated movie.
Never let your guard down if your letting your guards down.
The sligs remind me of battle druids from star wars
I'd like to say i find this Gluk redesign kinda unexpected but rather good. They no have way more...realistic looks, yet more human-like. In previous installments Gluks always was way too cartoony, with wide range of colors and such, now they look less "interesting" but something you can believe is real living thing.
