"Biblical Literism was basically an early form of fandom"
I am astounded at your truth
Noah then rolled a 20 and split the sea as a result, then rolled a 1 to keep it open and it crashed on the egyptians
@@josephclark1166 Moses parted the sea ya bungus
@@josephclark1166 Noah was the one building the giant boat with each speces in it (which mean BILLIONS of individuals but hey details)
The Divine Comedy
@@Sir_Bucket Hey, come on. The boat was the only thing remaining of the earth so it had plenty of room, so it's possible for there to have existed such a boat. The Bible never clearly states that "Noah" isn't just the pet name God gave a huge cult back then, so the "how could it be built by one man" thing also doesn't apply.
"i promise I won't get all political"
*Me three drinks later*
"EITHER SONIC IS A GOD, OR COULD KILL GOD, AND I DO NOT CARE IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE"
Nothing political
It's religious, so you're good.
Sonic is Cratos confirmed?
BDG unravels: the sonic the hedgehog Bible
I want it on a shirt
With the admission that he's never played a sonic game, I'm suddenly not convinced that BDG has ever played any of the games he's done an unraveled on, and honestly, that probably makes it better.
There's a video on the Drawfee TH-cam channel feat. Brian where he reveals he hasn't actually played a Dark Souls game before. Makes it better because that collab was basically an excuse to promote the Dark Souls Bosses Unraveled lmao
I think he might have played some of the games he's doing an unraveled on, but when it comes to games like Mario where he was analyzing all the main game's enemies to put into Bowser's military hierarchy there's no way he could have played all of them just for one video.
plot twist: he's actually never played any video game ever. Any video or stream showing him playing a video game is actually footage created by someone else while BDG just says whatever comes to his mind without even looking at the video. This whole time, he's been talking about video games without actually knowing what an xbox or playstation controller even looks like.
@@coffeewolfproductions9113of course not, he was too busy reading the Geneva Convention. Or OSHA regulations
He play games.
Nintendo, indie and some AAA titels but not that much, cause he loves indie and Nintendo.

"I'm not going to read this Bible in its entirity."

Back in the day people would learn to read via the Bible. Real sad how far people have strayed
oh sure, because everyone wants to learn how to read by going through the Book of the Prophet Haggai.@@theepicricemaker6611
@@theepicricemaker6611honestly though contextually it's wild to realize that.
The Bible was kind of the book that made reading a thing for people in large cities, and yet nowadays the people that are so violently adherent to it openly admit that they haven't read most of it and actively condemn their already fairly vengeful and bloodthirsty God for any time he is being benevolent, literally disagreeing with the Messiah figure of their own religion on the fact that everyone should have food and water and a house.
(this unironically happened a bunch of churches literally condemned Jesus Christ himself for being a socialist because they're insane and have never read the book and just want a reason to do fascistic theocracy where no one questions the guy who says that the big guy talks to him)
"The bible was written to make a character more marketable to kids in the '90s." Is a fantastic out of context quote.
I mean, that's basically Dante's Inferno
And it's somehow even better in context
That’s basically Veggietales
I found a minecraft bible at coles
Well, even out of context it isn’t wrong. Have you heard of Castlevania?
"But for Sonic, I'm willing to bend my values a bit"- is possibly the most cursed quote I have ever heard in my adult years
Yes

"EITHER SONIC IS A GOD, OR COULD KILL GOD, AND I DO NOT CARE IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!"
@@jedimindglitch89 that's blessed.
That baby is possibly the most -disgusting ulgy- cursed thing I've seen
So, in the first 3 minutes, this man straight up declares every sonic game EVER to be fanfic. I love it
Considering the plots of secret rings and black knight, I think that statement makes a lot of sense.
Finally, the mystery of where I once heard the name Kintobor YEARS ago in some obscure magazine and I had sworn to friends up and down that Sonic had once been friends with him before he turned evil into Robotnik, was NOT something I hallucinated as a child, but a sign that I too, was blessed by the small whispers of the true hog and his origins.
I am ready for the crusade emeralds brian please
Tf the same thing happened to me
The true hog, eh?
We, the children of the true hog, shall prevail
@FinalGame James, Kintobor being Sonic's father-figure type is pretty much the early story of the British Fleetway Sonic the Comic series, where they were friends and working in a lab together to use the chaos emeralds to remove all of the planet's evil, that might be what you're thinking of?
@@ShikiKiryu Kintober was used in the Fleetway comics and I think maybe some other fairly obscure early-series material
I THINK he was in the Archie comics too to some degree but I believe they added him later

I really hate how when “Kintobor” was flashing across the screen, I misread it as “Kinktober.”
...I need to stop spending so much time on AO3.
Kinky October was the only thing that came to mind and I hate that
I also thought it said kinktober and was mildly disappointed it didn't, because whatever kinktober is, it would surely be more creative that Robotnik backwards
@@silvercandra4275 oooh. Never noticed that it is robotnik backwards
@@eora5142 I didn't notice it either until someone pointed it out to me after I showed them this video and now it just seems so obvious...

I mean, doesn't he basically do that in every episode?
BDG revealing he's never played a Sonic game 10 minutes into the video felt like he stabbed me in the chest with a knife and then explained in full detail why I was in the wrong for it
That's just every Unravelled video
When he said that I wouldn’t click off the video I was sort of insulted, so I went to click off. But, I just... couldn’t?? I just couldn’t bring myself to stop watching. Like, I wanted to see through with this absolutely monstrosity I have been hit with, even though I felt betrayed and disgusted. Overall, that was terrible. 10/10.
Well, to be honest, I've only played them a couple times over a decade ago.

"Sonic, the light hearted character we all know and love, never knew his father, because he was reduced to sludge thanks to corporate polution"
Yeah uh...That's par for the course in the series, really.
The part about letting him hold Robotnik in his arms while sobbing 'sorry' is intense, and unfairly (to my emotions) well acted
"EITHER HE *IS* A GOD,OR COULD *KILL* GOD, AND I DO NOT *CARE* IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!" Is FAR too raw of a line to have come from a video about sonic the hedgehog
I mean he's also the "oh god, they're civilians" guy

Kintobor is literally Robotnik backwards.......I am livid.
I had to pause the video when I realized that.
Well, Robotnik’s full name is Ivo Robotnik, but his full name as Kintobor is Ovi Kintobor. Not only is “Kintobor” Robotnik backwards, but “Ovi” is Ivo backwards as well.
Additionally, Ovi is Latin for egg. He is Eggman.

@@gormauslander Oh wow, someone referenced Guardians of Ga'Hoole in 2020. Thank you for making my day, kind stranger!
I’m scared. BDG has managed to not only show such emotion in the first few minutes of the video, but also managed to turn Sonic the Hedgehog into a religion
I'm starting to understand why so many people are obsessed with this man
BDG, John Mulaney, and Griffen McElroy are chaotic English majors
I’m now using Chaotic English Major as my alignment in D&D
We have enough Mad Scientists, it's time for the Mad Humanities Major

Before I felt left out for never playing a sonic game, but now I feel more included than ever before
I love how instead of having Sonic named Sonny, a perfectly fine name that makes sense given his nickname, he's instead Olgilvie Maurice Hedgehog as per the Archie Comics canon.
Why can't his name just be Sonic?
The funniest thing about this is that archie canon is way more in line with this bible than the japanese one lol
@@madeleineharlow2466
What about the Fleetway Comics?
@@judeconnor-macintyre9874whenever learning something new about archie comics sonic, take what a reasonable person would do and reverse it, because that is the thought process of ken penders
@@emi_is_absent Thanks.
what i love about this one is that there's no explanation of where the concept came from. like, with combining e-sports and traditional sports, that was trying to capitalize on the lapse of sports coverage due to *The Situation.* the crash bandicoot dimension was created to perfectly replicate the contemporary period for the purpose of immersion. there's usually a logical thought process, and often that thought process is explained. but here... it really just feels like this concept came to him in a vision from an angry god...
His work is now finished.
i mean he probably decided to do a sonic video because of the sonic movie, but as for why he decided to go in the direction of biblical literalism….BDG, man

Why do I feel like Bryan David Gilbert doesn't actually work at Polygon? Like, I'm pretty sure he just breaks into the Polygon offices at 2 in the morning, does some drugs snd then makes insane rants about stupid videogame stuff, uploads it to the Polygon youtube channel and escapes before any actual Polygon employee can arrive for work in the morning

I CANT BELIEVE I STILL GET THAT REFERENCE.
I stand by the fact that "either sonic is a god or could kill god and I do not care if there is a difference" is the greatest line ever spoken in all of Unraveled, perhaps the whole internet
Indeed yes, I would argue the whole internet
While it is an iconic line, I would argue it may be outdone by "Why do Piranha Plant have bone in it?"
Perhaps in all of English
"I'm a Luigi" is tied with it though
Im not sure if it is the best line in Unraveled, but I agree that it is the best line ever spoken on the internet.

But there are no native hedgehogs in america, does that mean that sonic is an invasive species? Can sonic be legally hunted due to being a threat to native wildlife?
You would be allowed to if not for the fact Sonic cannot be killed.
Where did his family come from originally then? How many generations ago? And why did they emigrate in the first place?
Come on, Sega. Make ‘Sonic the Hedgehog: Trouble on Ellis Island’ so we can find out.
MadHatt3r On the contrary, Sonic is legally allowed to hunt us
MadHatt3r the toxic sludge thing is something sonic was told as a child to stop him feeling bad. In reality, sonic’s dad was shot by hunters. Sonic’s parents must have met in a country with hedgehogs (England?) and then moved to the states - the gene pool is too small in the states. Sonic is a first generation immigrant who’s father was effectively killed by the hedgehog equivalent of immigration enforcement. Sonic kisses human women because he has never met another hedgehog, besides his mother.
Oscar Heath sonics dad was deported, the true villain in the sonic movie is the government
Watching this after he voices winter king makes it funny because in my head winter king is standing there yelling about some hedgehog from his childhood to ice Marceline

@@frogpillow8880 fair point
Sonic is not legally allowed to cry. There are multiple instances in the Sonic comics that he should be crying, but he isn't. Drafts show him crying, but the published peices are just him being mildly upset. So the whole Kentober thing won't work because Sonic legally can't be distressed or cry.
Isn't it because this one guy who used to work on Sonic comics works on his own comics based on Sonic ones and trademarked everything in his works so heavily that he made it so SEGA can barely go anywhere with Sonic end that he can't even cry? I forget how exactly he did all of it though

The use of Verdi's requiem in the background is gratuitous and I love it
Polygon hit a fuckin' home run recruiting BDG. I rarely rewatch videos but I always find myself going back to this series (and his personal channel) because everything about it is rib-cracking funny to me. It's the sort of over-the-top pedantry that speaks to me as a human.
It's one of the few times I would say that the host didn't get lucky for landing the job, but the company. BDG is hilarious, and is the only reason I'm subscribed.
*over-the-top neurotic
@@JonAdamich yeah i doubt i would have stuck around post McElroy-departure if it weren't for BDG being here. I love Pat and Simone and Russ, sure. (Does Russ even work here still?) But BDG is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased.
He's cute too.
@@ProfOfBirdLaw damn yes
unraveled has already reached its logical conclusion in episode 7 by starting a cult, and im excited to see where brian could *possibly* go from here. great job
TBH I think it's just gonna keep going until he dies of an aneurysm on camera
It ends with him making an actual game about why game lore is so fascinating.
It ends with him creating new, massive, multigame franchises with detailed and far-reaching lore, just so he can break them down in every new Unraveled.
it ends when while filming, a CIA team drops in and kidnaps him for revealing government secrets about animal crossing and taking him to a blacksite.
10:11 for the start of the sonic religion rant
This makes the Fleetway Sonic the Comic series the most accurate to the Sonic Bible and therefore the most canon of the entire collection of Sonic media

Rank all Pokemon on how good they would taste
I'm disgusted, yet intrigued
@@BlazarTBG Like having sex with Danny Devito.
Yeah I would pay for this with a piece of my soul
Can we get this pinned and sent directly to Brian?
Magikarp is probably somewhere near the top. They don't have any other use.
"A story of someone who loses his father who loses his new father figure to the machines he helped create" holy crud that's just Spiderman PS4
This relationship between Dr. Eggman and Sonic definitely remind me of the relationship between Peter Parker and Octavius in Spider-Man
"sonic either is a god or can kill god" sonic HAS killed a god (solaris the sun god, in sonic 06) hes also defeated a god and spared his life (perfect chaos)
Are you quoting the false Sonic, here? At our great leader's awakening and proclamation of the truth? Heretics shall burn in holy hell fire
Correction: Heretics shall melt into the poisonous inferno of radioactive waste burns @@alexanderh9642
@@alexanderh9642 forgive me Sonny, for i have beheld the false Sonic
Don't forget dark gia
And the 6 gross emeralds with a stabilizer is why original sonic only had 6 collectable emeralds
BDG is my new favourite person
2:18 First breakdown
4:40 Second breakdown
12:08 Third breakdown
Nicolas Riquelme you forgot 7:37
0:07 is a mini-breakdown I guess
I would argue that this entire video is a breakdown
Each one with the dies irae, I see. Never was this piece so satisfying.
Breakdown breakdown.
