    I always thought that the wall of flesh was just there as like a creepy factor or rather just a piece to show the gruesome experiments they did but after this video, now the wall of flesh needs to be in the next game with that backstory

      Based off the most recent trailer, it looks like it or something like it will either be the final boss or just one of many bosses. I believe there will be multiple bosses, the giant armed one, the wall of flesh, and hopefully one more to fir the symbol of three found in Christianity, a small theme found in the first game that could possibly be brought back to this game. The theme also fits as want they are doing is both holy and unholy. They are bring people back from the dead, something Jesus did to Lazarus and something he did himself. But in doing so they make monstrosities, demons even. This game is dark in ways I love. While dark theme are sad, there's just something that fascinates me. How something so terrible can be thought up and made into a story, and be enjoyable.

    Hi, children are typically the targets of these science fiction stories because children biologically are much more adaptable and versatile. Their stem counts are at the highest they'll ever be and they're essentially (not completely) immune to many ailments and conditions which develop over time.
    In essence, they're better test subjects in every way. Especially for tests which are extremely unethical and produce mutagenic results (though those kind of results like in the game are not biologically possible).

    • @ThePickledsoul

      When you die, blood stops flowing and everything soon dries up, solidifying joints as well as muscle tissue. It's referred to as Necrosis, and that's why if you've ever seen a dead animal with its legs straight out, they don't bend or fall if you poke it anywhere. The whole body stays in the same shape it died in as a solid object

    Regarding the whole ethics (or should I say lack of) within Sahara, I recall Matthew Cross being fired because of unauthorized usage of work equipment. Which likely means the Power Artifact (the one that can take down a plane) and how it was currently set up in the game was all done behind Sahara’s back. They were clearly not okay with Cross doing something that would draw too much attention to the location and Sahara themselves.

      One beach on the map is littered with shipping containers marked with the Sahara logo. Additionally, we see some additional portion of the facility in the ending, regardless of _which_ ending is achieved. Seemingly, there is an above-ground or sea-level access for cargo vessels on the far side of the mountain range, but we just don't get to see it. The facility only doesn't connect to the peninsula, or rather, to the areas the cannibals can easily get to.

      Also it's impossible that they could get everything for building in the mountain without digging it up at least for the parts of the facillity we can see in the first game so there must also be a bigger entrance for big machines on the second half.

    • @rkaly7154
      @rkaly7154 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      i think the theory is that the artifacts created the mutants and sahara used the artifacts on children for their experiments and created things like the blob, idk tho i could be wrong

    • @devildogkogg8353
      @devildogkogg8353 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      An ancient civilization that vanished without a studiable trace created the artifacts which create mutants, Sahara Therapeutics found it, and they decided to use it for unethical research. The mutants created by the ancient civilization likely died out by the time Sahara obtained the island, but the Christian settlers saw a virginia before then and mistook it for a messenger from God, or perhaps a demon that they were trying to exorcise

    • @devildogkogg8353

  • @pinstripe4254
    @pinstripe4254 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think it’s likely that the blob has starved to death after the facility’s downfall. After all the facility has been inactive for some time and all things need nutrients to survive and something with that much biomass would need quite a bit. It could probably survive for quite some time off of its own excess mass. However I think the fact that it is completely immobile despite having parts with intact structures alludes to it being long dead

  • @GreyWouldBe
    @GreyWouldBe 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I barely got into The Forest, it's a bit hard for me, but could this possibly be an Inside ending reference? Like a little indie to indie easter egg? I mean, a little kid turned into a many limbed blob in a shady facility... Either way, I'm loving it.

  • @noelhutchins7366
    @noelhutchins7366 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of the endings includes Timmy pointing on a map to a second island: I suspect the blob and mutants from The Forest are unique to their biome, and Sons of the Forest have different problems than Blob contend with.

  • @thegethconsensus393
    @thegethconsensus393 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It’s probably dead by the time the player finds it. If it didn’t suffocate from having its airway blocked, it would undoubtedly die from starvation. It’s still a horrific thing regardless.

  • @definitelynotmymain1808
    @definitelynotmymain1808 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Given how it's not moving its free limbs and the fact that it's squeezed into that confined room, it's more than likely dead.
    I'd say it either suffocated under it's own weight or because it didn't have any room to expand for breathing.

    In the end of Son of the forest, we have learnt that the cube had the capability of traveling through different dimensions. I guess the "Ressurection Artefact" just take another version of yourself from a different dimension. But it also takes multiples parallel selves from not only one but many others selves. As you stated, the blob looks like it was formed with multiples bodies and virginia,armsy look like they are also formed from multiples bodies.
