Something you didn’t mention was the description. It says that Marin has supernatural abilities that were calling her. “She wanted to be normal, but normal was not an option.” I think the portal has something to do with that.
Just left there and there’s definitely multi dimensional traveling through the messages in her computer in room and diary. Aliens or something ! But there was so much depth! I was there 4 hours and still want to go back and deep dive some more.
I found that little tidbit literally while this video was uploading and I was like NOOOOO XD but yes, my take is that that Marketing initiative is actually targeting Marin. Whether it's targeting her before she disappears or trying to find her after, I'm not sure.
This is perfect it touched on a lot of what I was thinking and more! Once I have better thoughts I can put together on this or any other information I find out I will always resort back to your videos to let you know in case it helps🥰
I thought that Marin tried to escape the 7 Monolith Village and dissapwared because she herself is made of source energy. This theory is based on her close relation with Jesse who is the head of the Monolith movement. In Jesse's computer you see pics of both her and Marins relationship, and documentation of Jesse's activist efforts against Dramcorp. I thought she convinced Marin to run away, and which caused Marin to dissaparate.
this is amazing! you really summed up the themes of the music video well as well! This is spoilers for Omega Mart going forward but one thing that this you didn't discuss in this video is what Marin is part of the Source. In addition to figuring out her sexuality, I believe she is also trying to find a way to distingush herself from this greater cosmic power that fathered her. Where Walter calls her a profit to be made (in his disappearance video), I think Cecelia also sees her as a product or advancement for the company, only made worse as she became figurehead for the company. Because of this, Marin struggles with her identity in personhood. I believe his has to cover up and even hide from the Souce, such as the constant presence headphones and her covering her ears from the comic space constantly approaching her. Personally, I am curious to see what kinds of things this rebellion against Cecelia and Dramcorp will cause in the narrative since she is such a powerful person with such volital teenage emotions!
Yessss thank you SO MUCH for the insight! This is AWESOME. I'm guessing the Source has some kind of sound-powers, that's a theme at the other Meow Wolf location and the headphones would totally work to confuse the sounds that run the universe, Marin, and the Source. That is fascinating. I can't wait to go! I'm sure there's much more that ties in.
It was about a kid who was wanting to be in the real world, have real friends and a real life instead of her mother’s made up world, so Marin dreams. Marin is made up of “source” and in order to make Omega Mart products she needs Marin to act a certain way and think certain thoughts, otherwise.. well, meltdowns and a lot more. She didn’t leave however, everything was meant to happen, her mom knew what she was doing. Remember to look at EVERYTHING next time 😉 Also, there’s more to the story, such as her father, what he was up to, a whole whole WHOLE lot more
"If you don't hear from me again, I've gone... wherever Marin is." *Me watching this for the first time 5 months later - knowing it's the last video posted* O.O
When I was watching, the main thing I noticed was that the portal seems to be a, possibly literal, representation of Marin's connection to The Source, which (like Dram Corp), she covered with teenage consumerism soaked in compulsory heterosexuality (the whole "assume Straight until Coming Out" thing). Also, the boy her mom wants her to be with, the one Marin kissed, is an alien (Xenian, I believe). Marin also dreams of an alien of the same species at one point. This is important because, in Omega Mart lore, the Xenians were the previous controllers of the Source (aka Creative Chaos), who were destroyed by their greed, just like Cecilia's father was.
(Wanted to break up the information I noticed when watching the music video) I also think Marin chose to acknowledge and accept her connection to the Source, as well as her (Bi)sexuality. I have a feeling that Marin is too much for Cecilia to control, and the Source will not be bound. I'm looking forward to your dive into Omega Mart, as it was the piece that drew me to world of Meow Wolf. I've never been to any of their locations, but learning everything I can about them, and the lore, is bringing me creative inspiration I haven't had in many years.
Great video! I hope you're able to make it to OmegaMart soon. I was able to go there recently, and it is wild! I love the immense amount of the DramCorp/OmegaMart/Source/Dram family narrative there! I could talk about it for a long time! It sounds like you've been given some second-hand info already, so I'll spare the details I have & recall unless you want them before you visit. But The stuff revealed by Boop Cards does make it more clear what Marin's nature & general fate is. There's even a way to help the Dram family by visiting computers & transferring files. Cult vibes? Absolutely. Cecilia's TED Talk (found in the DramCorp office computers) was one of my favorite bits to watch! Also the Droom (read: Zoom) calls that involve Cecilia & the other executives are loads of fun. I don't know what else to share here, because I'm not sure how much you'd like to not be spoiled before actually going yourself, but I really look forward to more of your & others' insights as time goes on.
Haha that is amazing, thank you for sharing! I appreciate your judgement in leaving some for me to discover eventually, but also giving me some guidance on what to seek out when I'm there. Droom, lol that's really funny. And I love knowing you can help the narrative, that's something that was kind of missing from the other Meow Wolf. You're trying to figure out what happened, but you can't help the Selig family at all. That's a really cool aspect to add.
I'm headed there next month. I want to learn all that I can relative to the story. Do you mind sharing some tips to ensure I don't miss anything important?
@@20thLetter The first thing to know is that you will miss things. There's so much in breadth & depth that even 3 hours can't possibly cover everything. If you walk away with a general idea of an overall timeline, and the basic motivations of all the major players, then I'd consider that a success. My advice is to take each area or room one at a time. Consider why each room might exist. Maybe it's just a cool, artistic room affected by Dram Corp's "weirdness." Maybe it's a place significant to a particular character. If a place feels like it belongs in an actual business, residence, store, or factory setting, then there's probably lore somewhere. Also, look at as much of the OmegaMart & Dram Corp's websites as you can to get a baseline for the surface concepts & characters. Just have fun. Take in what you can. :)
Please keep making these videos! There perfect for people like me who can’t travel to meow wolf locations in person due to the troubles of international travel!
I don't think the monster form of heart throb is supposed to be seen as a monster but one of the fish like aliens that were the original owners of the source the thing that keeps omega mart products addictive and promoting sales. And it's not like Marin wasn't interested in him as she literally consumed him as a photo. It feels like giving the power of the source to her instead of Cecilia because he's just as gentle as Marin is with her female crush.
Edit: spoilers warning Also I think Marin’s mom tried to have it all, take Marin with her after giving birth in 7mv, but her baby kept getting pulled back to the source as she tried driving home. So she left Marin behind chose her career.
I don’t know…I think you have a lot of it described well. But the alien connection I think also has Marin confused. Who is Marin? Is she part alien? Bisexual? She feels different and isn’t sure where to go. I am going back to Omega Mart for a second time this month. There is a video in there I am watching again. Clues point to Cecelia being impregnated by something not human. Boop cards were not available when we went in March so we felt like we missed a lot.
Aw man that sucks, I'll be sure to make sure the cards are going when I plan a trip. I'd hate to miss that part. Also, reading this, I was like *facepalm* of COURSE. The heartthrob boy isn't a monster in that last scene, he's a alien thing. DUH. I can't believe I missed that!
@@MeowWolfFan1 lol. Don’t beat yourself up by diving into Meow Wolf lore ha! That’s why I subscribe to you because I am a true diver myself. It’s fascinating! Like getting a good book that never ends. I guess after talking to an employee at Omega Mart, they randomly run out of cards. It upset a lot of folks. You are not guaranteed a card. So this next trip on the 20th I am going in there knowing I might not get a card. My teenagers picked Area 15 over Disney. Never thought I would take them to Vegas before they turned 21 🤣
Marin was the reason why Cecilia took over the company with "the CEO ascending to the source" Marin is found in missing posters in a alien desert town.
@@UwUDaniUwU hahaha I’m glad you seem to have noticed I just got through my backlog of comments. I currently have 0 unread emails now, thank you very much. 💅🏻
Hi, i realize this comment is 2 years old but now I work at the location in Texas now and I have been blessed to share several experiences with vision impaired guests that were downright magical. MW puts a lot of thought into elements outside of just the visual and I discover new things in my home exhibit every day. 🥰
@@MeowWolfFan1 Hi ...that's awesome congrats ....I agree it is magical even though I sadly never had the chance being that I'm Floridian. But I do hope that there's a Daytona beach or Orlando MW location one day. That would be awesome. When it comes to it I only been able to lore hunt online as I can't go to many of these MW locals, but Omega Mart based on what I seen in videos is amazing. After magnifying parts of some videos OM is pretty imaginative. I bet if I where to go one day, I bet I would have a blast.
I went to omega mart 2 weeks ago, Me my girlfriend and my best friend, were going to a 3 day music festival in Vegas. My girlfriend heard about omega mart from Facebook and and saw some cool pictures and really wanted to check it out, Me and my best friend were under the impression that this place was just some kind of interactive museum But like the slogan said we had no idea what was in store for us, We definitely plan on going back, By the time we had started to get a grasp on the mystery we had to leave, but I was given a clue by one of the employees that didn't make sense to me until I was already driving back home from Vegas, The best way I can describe Omega mart is it's a living museum that's an escape room that you don't have to escape from
It’s important to remember this is a dream that turns into a nightmare. Cecilia is a loving mother that does everything she can to protect her daughter and adores who she is. She was protecting Marin from Walter when he was accidentally absorbed into source. It was not intentional. While interesting, this interpretation isn’t accurate to the true storyline. ~ The real C.D.
I hate it when a company only likes LGBTQ in June and not all the time. are you going to make a vid about what you think the 2 new meow wolf places will be ?
Fantastic video! I wish more people were fans of Meow Wolf, because your videos are so fabulously put together, they deserve much more hype!!

Oooh good eye, I totally missed that but you're right! Like mother like daughter, it would seem.
@@MeowWolfFan1 Marin was created by the source.
It has nothing to do with sexuality
Just left there and there’s definitely multi dimensional traveling through the messages in her computer in room and diary. Aliens or something ! But there was so much depth! I was there 4 hours and still want to go back and deep dive some more.
Her name, could it be an acronym for Marketing Across Realms of Interdimensional Neural-nets initiative?
i have a feeling that the acronym was made in honor or after Marin left.

Awesome video, as always!
You should talk about the disappearance of Walter Dram. I hear that Cecilia Dram probably eliminate her own father to become the new CEO of Dramcorp.
Would love to do a whole video on that but in short, I think you're right. I'm not sure what happened, but I def think Cecilia was involved.

There is a dramcorp video that states that this girl is made of full energy, it’s when Cecilia’s father disappears. Look for it.
You should read Marin’s blog, pretty much everything that happens in the video is in there.

you remind me of Loren Boebert, maybe it's the appearance of importance or balance. trolls meet art supplies.
