There is something so painful about how this game ends. The pain of not being able to bring Max back is such a large shock to both Sam and the player, Max always bounces back after everything. The credits give you time to process, and really come to terms with what had happened. Then, The reveal that Max has come back! But, even then, it still feels so deeply upsetting when you think about it. That isn't our Max, it's a Max from another universe. He could be argued to be fundamentally the same guy, but even then, this Max lived a different life than Sam, this Max watched Sam die and suffer the curse of having powers. This Max has different memories and experiences. The trauma of this game has changed him, and it has changed our Sam too. Though they can go out on adventures again, and pretend like nothing ever changed, they will always have a thought in the back of their minds. This person is not the same person I have spent years with, went to literal hell and back for. That small little fact seriously can fuck someone up and their relationship with that person. It is just so profoundly sad, like, how the fuck do you fix that?
Send time with each other, learn what differences there are between them and their lost companion, scares will always remain, but at least they found each other and with each other those scares will heal in time, and if the franchise continues this will be a passing comment in a future installment.
Still, there could be things they forget. What if this mac does like that gender, what if he is not used to being the president, what if that max never got off the game Sam was making. Just sad. How do you fix THAT... 😢
the end is still kinda sad if you think about it, Sam lost his Max, and the alternate past Max lost his Sam. They brushed the awkwardness aside but really, they still lost (killed, really) their best friend and are trying to cope by latching onto their temporal replacement. ;-;
Frankly, this was kind of a bad plot writing. I mean the accent of the whole season is extremely different from any other media about s&m, this is just too heavy story for "2 wacky guys with guns" franchise.
it also raises a lot of questions. is there an alternate suicidal super-ego? is he inside max? or was he inside sam in the alternate timeline? would max still become maxthulu under the right conditions again? what would samthulu look like? did sam have psychic powers in the alternate timeline? a lot of this could have been explained in a future season. though season 3 came out in 2010 and 8 years later, telltale games shut down. so there likely werent any plans for a 4th season.
I have not seen where this is from, so I don't have the same connection the rest of people has with this music, but... The story I can hear in this song, is that one of accepting that whatever there was, won't be back, it'll never be the same again, it has lasted what it had to last... One doesn't want it to go, but it has to. Every question that one ask themselves... "Can't we sort it out?", "Is there any other way?", "Will I see you again?"... They all have answers, and one knows what those answers are, but no one dares say them out loud. There's nothing to salvage anymore. It's gone. It's the only possible way. And now... It's time to walk away, a long way through an empty dark street with no clear destination in sight.
murdered by your own suicidal super-ego... what a way to go. also because the alternate-timeline max is now the prime max, does he have his own suicidal super-ego? was the super-ego inside sam instead of max in the alternate timeline? can this alternate max turn into maxthulu again under the same circumstances? this ending raises a lot of questions.
Yes because it’s not a complete alternate universe max, there’s a reason they call him past max. It’s the max from chariots of dogs we leave behind, the one with the “banjo sam” who made us redo the entire first game off screen
that last question i at least got an answer for: with no cthulu juice to accidentally swallow, i don't think past-max is gonna turn into an abomination again anytime soon. everyone has a superego - it's the part of their identity that can recognize the morality of their decisions. it's just that, given how supremely IMMORAL and selfish max was, a part of him felt the only moral thing to do to make up for his actions was to just die. (it uh. just so happened he wanted to take half of new york with him. guess the past month was really that bad.) anyway, sam at least pretends to care about justice, so i don't think he'd want to pull the plug in the most explosive way possible, unlike max. ESPECIALLY after what happened to max.
This season has put me into an emotional state that words cannot describe. God it was so good but the ending, though resolved (kinda?) hurts and hurts badly 😭
If tell tale/skunkape games do make a 4th season it probably would be awkward because past max will never be the max in season 3 also what will happen when when people see past max
I've also been thinking about this with the remaster of the devil's playhouse coming out this year (hopefully). With their being two endings it's also hard to make a fourth game. Although in poker night 2 which features them and released three years after the devil's playhouse if the dialogue of that game is canon to the sam and max universe (which I don't get why it wouldn't be) than it seems like one of the endings has already been made canon and they seem to being doing fine so anything could happen we'll just have to wait and see what happens after the remaster has released.
I don't know why, but watching the ending of Spiderman no way home, when SPOILERS: He visit the shop wher MJ works and then the Tomb of his aunt, I thinked about this song
would anyone at all happen to know about any sort of transcription or sheet music for this? I've looked around a little bit but it seems like there really isn't much Sam and max music transcribed in general

One simple exchange:
“So…. Wanna stop some crimes?”
“Let’s!”
the end is still kinda sad if you think about it, Sam lost his Max, and the alternate past Max lost his Sam. They brushed the awkwardness aside but really, they still lost (killed, really) their best friend and are trying to cope by latching onto their temporal replacement. ;-;
Damn.
Frankly, this was kind of a bad plot writing. I mean the accent of the whole season is extremely different from any other media about s&m, this is just too heavy story for "2 wacky guys with guns" franchise.
Well I mean it’s still sam and max. Sure they lost eachother and I guess you could say they’re replacing eachother but not with different people.
it also raises a lot of questions.
is there an alternate suicidal super-ego? is he inside max? or was he inside sam in the alternate timeline? would max still become maxthulu under the right conditions again? what would samthulu look like? did sam have psychic powers in the alternate timeline?

Wow you pretty much hit the nail on the head
@@air-head3961 I suppose that's how good this music is at telling the story it wants to tell.
@@mihaelkYeah man
Are you sure you haven't seen this series before???
Yeah... a Robot nuke usually does that.
murdered by your own suicidal super-ego... what a way to go.
also because the alternate-timeline max is now the prime max, does he have his own suicidal super-ego?
was the super-ego inside sam instead of max in the alternate timeline? can this alternate max turn into maxthulu again under the same circumstances?
this ending raises a lot of questions.
Actually by one maimtron
yeah he can't turn into Maxthulu because in his timeline,Sam did and then died.So yeah Sam would've had the super ego too.
Yes because it’s not a complete alternate universe max, there’s a reason they call him past max. It’s the max from chariots of dogs we leave behind, the one with the “banjo sam” who made us redo the entire first game off screen
Well actually Max got killed by a dummy
that last question i at least got an answer for: with no cthulu juice to accidentally swallow, i don't think past-max is gonna turn into an abomination again anytime soon.

R.I.P Telltale Games...I guess we’ll never get that Season 4...
I felt a kick in the gut last night when I was replaying Poker Night 2 and Claptrap asked Sam when we could expect a season 4 for Sam and Max.
@Unofficial Meme they’re back now on VR! Hallelujah!!!
@@maxkennedy7430 even better, the actual creators of the games created their own studio and now we have a remastered season 1 coming.

I don't know why, but watching the ending of Spiderman no way home, when SPOILERS:
He visit the shop wher MJ works and then the Tomb of his aunt, I thinked about this song
here lies *dead meme cemetery*.
they ran fast from an aggressive pizza
and died without eating it
Pizza tower
This shit is so underrated.
The pizza was aggressive
At least everything was resolved.
and that I hope there's Sam & Max season 4
There is.
It’s in vr
@@Mario_Firey I don't really count that as a season 4 per say as it wasn't made by shunkape games. I hope there is though.
If Past Max is still alive then Past Sal should still be alive too...right? 🥺
This track would be perfect to the credits of the fanfiction Sam Dies at the End.
Is that an actual one? Or one you thought of? If it's real I'll definitely give it a read! :D
It's a real one.
Also, if you're wondering, I'm not the one who wrote it.
Oh cool! Thanks! I'll give it a read, and ok, I won't get mislead ;) Cheers!
sorry but you know the name of the fan ?, I am interested in the concept
You don't get the song when you understand the context your sad when you understand the context
