    So two of the endings shown here illustrate what the female narrator said in the beginning - The Narrator cannot exist without the Player and the Player cannot exist without the Narrator.That's why the escape pod didn't work - No one was there to narrate its function or its successThat's why the story couldn't continue when the credits were rolling - The player had been removed and the story couldn't exist without them.

      Well, in reality, the description for the beginning after that ending summed what happened up. He did escape, and markiplier's guess on multiple stanleys was on the mark. The short breeze indicated something flying past, then disappearing from existence.

      +Eva As the female narrator said, and I quote from you, "The Narrator cannot exist without the Player and the Player cannot exist without the Narrator". Question, would the player (Stanley) vanish too if the narrator vanished (5:45)?
      EDIT: If the female narrator is right, then they would both not exist (as soon as the narrator vanished, 5:45) as the female narrator said. Stanley escaped because there are "other" Stanleys (8:04) out there , and so therefore there are other narrators (male and female). The "Stanley" that we are controlling is not a Stanley but a real person (12:51). Stanley (real person) escaped using the escape pod. THEENDISNEVERTHEENDISNEVERTHEENDISNEVERTHEEND

      Poppy Smith in the ending where he went through the "Escape" tunnel instead of going to the mind control facility, there is a room in that museum where it talks about the narrator and some of the bloopers and things. He recorded bits and pieces for a couple months off and on I believe. I haven't seen that room in a long time though. Markapark didnt go in that room though

      He's a different character depending on what you choose, that's part of the dynamic of the game. Each choice is its own storyline, so each choice has a slightly different narrator.

    One possible reason the Escape Pod Ending is so anticlimactic: on the sign right before the launch bay, if you crouch and look at the bottom you can make out some words, which I think in essence say that the Narrator must be present for the pod to launch - which means it'll never work, because you have to ditch him to find it in the first place.

    • @Brawler_1337
      @Brawler_1337 6 ปีที่แล้ว +91

      WarriorAuranae Fun fact: There’s some cut narration intended for that ending. It was cut before it was voiced, but the subtitle files are still there. Someone actually got Kevan Brighting to read the lines, though, and made an edited video of the ending with the voiced narration.
      I guess they cut the narration because the ending was more powerful this way. The story of the Escape Pod Ending can’t exist without a narrator to make sense of it all.

      Yeah, with sudden silence once you step outside the boss's office, it kinda felt creepy, because you suddenly felt lonely without him. And knowing how the narrator always talk when you make a move, this isn't right at all. So the ending shouldn't work without him.
      They are really smart.

    God, my favorite part of this game is in the choice ending. When you're in the dark broken room and the narrator starts scolding you for your choice. It really does seem like everything else he said was just for the story but now he's really mad. Not once in any other ending did he cuss in the slightest, and then in one of the angriest tones you hear from him, he goes "That if I say something there's a damn good reason for it!?"
    It just gets me every time, how real it feels. it actually kinda hurts when he says "You're a child." in that disgusted voice.

  • @AcenPhina
    @AcenPhina 8 ปีที่แล้ว +581

    So, that "true ending" basically represents how the real-life player who is - unlike Stanley - able to simply quit, exited the game and left behind the mere avatar (of which the Narrator doesn't realise it's only an avatar), so it was really all about the interdependence of all *three* of them; Stanley, Narrator, and real-life player?
    After all, even though the real-life player can leave at any time, it's also true that within the perimeters of the game, he is very much dependent on both the avatar and the narrator, as he wouldn't have had a game to play otherwise. Within that space, none of them are truly free, but they still choose to co-exist there because it is the only way they can.

  • @Notashi0
    @Notashi0 11 ปีที่แล้ว +156

    That ending made so much sense. All throughout the game, expect for a couple short bits, you had a choice, but in that final part with the voice box, there was no choice. The game doesn't have voice input, and the result was you no longer had a choice. You couldn't leave and you couldn't open the door. It was gone. You couldn't go through the story anymore.

  • @artezui
    @artezui 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2318

    ..I finally figured the ending out. I finally figured it out. It makes sense..
    That is Stanley.
    THE Stanley. Not the player, not the game...not the computers; no, THAT is STANLEY. The one and only actual Stanley, the original, the one you CONTROL. But he's not a controllable player. That's Stanley himself.
    Stanley...wouldn't make a choice. He's been directed to do one thing his whole life; push one button, go this way, go that way, follow directions. This is the first choice he's ever encountered in his entire life. This is his only choice. He didn't know how to make choices. Especially ones that matter.
    And now that I think about it...this is the confusion ending. The true one.
    In the end of the confusion ending from episode two, and ONLY the end, after the 8th restart (not counting any of the other planned events before, due to the game being practically wiped from existence and thrown into a state of pure destruction), the Narrator leaves, and Stanley eventually dies. The narrator has left Stanley to decide...and Stanley doesn't know how to do that. He will stand there forever, waiting for an order to go left or right, and he'll never get it. He will die.

      Max Robert Well..I said scratch the restarting thing..It might have been 8 times total though. Since the game "crashes" and you're back at the choice doors. But then again, back to "scratch the restarts", the entire game was practically laid to waist by you making a choice that actually does something.

      just so you know the narrator at the room with the phone ringing said you are not stanley you are human controlling all the movements you make and making different choices then the narrator says. So given that information I would assume stanley dissapeared with all his co workers as well. Just the whole time before that phone room scene the narrator didn't realize you weren't stanley.

    I think that, in the Escape Pod ending, the Narrator "goes in" the room, but you don't, and make him stuck there while you wander off. A hidden file says that both Stanley and the Narrator have to be present for it to work, so I'd say my idea is pretty much indisputably correct.

    There are a few endings and alternates that he missed, Coward Ending (close your cubical door and don't leave), Whiteboard Ending (randomly may occur upon reload), Alt Games Ending (put the companion cube through the door and lose it, Narrator will be stunned at how on earth you managed to break the game), Heaven Ending (put the correct input on all the computers on the desks), Cold Feet Ending (get off the lift before it starts to move in the massive bay, wait, then walk off the edge) and finally Alt Window Ending (The Narrator will actually sing a song for Stanley if you choose Yes).
    Also he didn't finish the Serious Ending, continuing to put in the Console Cheat will gain additional scenes, where your penalty is increased to infinity years, and if you repeat again the Narrator heads off to find a better *Serious Table* since your obv not impressed by the one he brought.

    Then 5 others:
    - heaven ending like Hylian Maldiv said
    - cold feet ending (on the plateform you back off quickly, let it go and then jump)
    - whiteboard ending (random chance of blue office go to door 426)
    - song ending (if he had press yes after going out the window)
    - art ending (if he had managed to play for 4 hours the baby game O.O)

If you look closely at 15 minutes and 13 seconds you can see the narrator's eyes in the decorative fern in the Star Destroyer.

I hate not following the rules, which is most likely why people call me "goody two shoes" at school and all that good stuff, but it`s something I can`t help. I don`t like things that aren`t in routine or aren`t a part of the plan. It scares me so much.

It makes you think, here he was, just trying to tell a story, and you walked in, messed it up, and now stanley is stuck, lifeless and unable to do anything, and the narrator, cannot tell his story, his sole purpose being to tell the story...
    The museum ending sums it up best "See how they need each other..." Without the narrator, stanley doesn't exist, but, without stanley, the narrator can't exist either. That is why the real person ending makes me feel for the narrator, because you're listening to him lose his sole purpose for existing...

      Beky Boo It took me quite awhile to piece together what she meant.
      Because she says "See how they want to destroy one another, how they need each other" Or something along those lines. They literally cannot exist without the other. But stanley wishes to destroy the narrator through disobeying his story, and the narrator wants to destroy stanley because he disobeys. Most of the endings, are the narrator finding a way to show stanley that his disobedience has gotten him killed or destroyed. But then the narrator resets the game and begins again, because he has NO purpose existing without a stanley to act out his story.
      I love the in depth writing in the stanley parable. Its witty, and oh so clever, and actually an interesting look into the human psyche in a way.

      wolfie615 Actually I'm pretty sure she was talking about the on-off switch during the museum ending. If you watch it again you'll see there's than an on-off switch in the room while she's speaking. HOWEVER yes, you're right that it can be applied to Stanley and the Narrator as well, and it's very poignant.

  • @sporees
    @sporees 11 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    Regarding the Escape Pod Ending-- the sign before you enter the room to the escape pod has some fine print at the bottom that's covered with dirt. If you take the dirt texture away the text mentions that the escape pod is to be used in emergencies only and that both the player and the Narrator must be present to escape. So, my take on it is the escape pod was never supposed to be used in a story line but you trick the game into thinking there is an emergency (the door shutting when you aren't in the next room, leaving the Narrator behind; basically it assumes it was a glitch and that that's an emergency) and allowing you to go in it. It doesn't work, though, because, well, the Narrator has to be there too.

      @@orangexlightning Yeah, but he claimed it involved staring at the whiteboards in the meeting room, when it is, in fact, an 'ending' you can achieve _before_ the two doors room, and relies entirely on chance, since it requires the starting area to be the blue area instead of the usual yellowish one. When he mentioned it but got the trigger wrong, then he didn't actually vote against it, because he voted against something that didn't even do anything in the first place. The real whiteboard 'ending' still would have involved finding something new in an area he barely explored last time he was in it.

      the stanley at the end this episode is not stanley it is you and you ditched this story and thus giving no life to the avatar so you cann't move and so the narrator sounds sad saying any choice is fine. also the phone room restart the narrator while in that room says you are not even stanley but a human making your own choices. given this info we can assume stanley had disappeared with his co workers. However why you are sitting in stanley's office doing his job and all that is beyond me and makes no sense, but yea we can assume off the telephone room restart that since the narrator figured out you are a human controlling the avatars choices that stanley was either lost with his co workers or you came along and tried to control the story the narrator laid out for stanley and controlled stanley's body and tried to do the narrators job for him.

    I feel like this game had a deeper meaning. For instance, how Stanley is stuck in a perpetual loop, working in an office, without remembering what weather is like, what the outside looks like, what people look like, what anything looks like, besides the office. This could all be because, such as in life, the choices you make determine your life and lifestyle. Doing everything people (society) tells you, lands you in a rut of the corporate world, i.e. working in an office. You rely on the advice, decisions, and directions of what the world tells you that you're supposed to do. But life is more interesting, your perceptive changes, and you can see more of the world, and what's behind everything you've ever known, if you go against the norm, and make your own destiny, make your own destination, make your own journey. If you stray away from the path of what everyone else does, you have the potential to see more of the world in a whole new view, and in turn live a more exciting and fulfilled life.
    But that's just my theory.

      No, you hear him singing if you press "YES" instead of "NO." The narrator keeps saying "You could have restarted" and if you stay long enough then, he starts singinf

    @frikyouall 11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Awh, man... It's terrible because if you had just started playing the game and gotten that ending, then it wouldn't have been such a big deal. But after playing the game so much, you start to do what Mark did, and you start to talk back to him as if he were a real person. He gets you lost, he tries to help, he tries to kill you... You two go through so much together, that at this point, you feel like you know him, and you just want to scream "I'M HERE, I'M RIGHT HERE!"
    Knowing that Stanley will never move again, and the Narrator will never know where you went, or why his friend won't just show something, anything, any acknowledgement whatsoever...
    That's a great ending. It's hard to think of that guy dealing with the stages of loss, and the actual you having to watch it from wherever you've glitched. I applaud the guys on the project. That ending was deeper than I thought this game could ever go.
    Of course, that's just my personal opinion.

    • @imakickurazz
      @imakickurazz 10 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      MrDuelMind You post a comment meant to make people post angry responses, by basically insulting Markiplier for no reason. It's trolling /exactly/ because it doesn't match up with the general opinion of people who go on this channel.

    • @MrDuelMind
      @MrDuelMind 10 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      Rawr900 No, moron. I post my opinion because that's what the comments are for. MY comment is directed at the video. I don't give two shits about what you think of my opinion or what you post in response. Just because you got mad and felt an obligation to reply to my comment with anger doesn't mean I posted just so you would do that. I didn't insult him. I gave my opinion. My opinion is that even while he is quite often funny, when he starts making those sounds I get annoyed and wish he would stop. And sorry to tell you, having an opinion that differs from others doesn't make me a troll. It makes me an individual that you don't agree with. Grow up.

    You know what I realized? This game is a representation of the multiverse theory. For every choice you make, there is an alternate choice you could have made that ends differently. For every choice there is to make, every time you make a choice there is an alternate universe that plays out that other choice. For every choice you make, there is an alternate path for you to take that ends Stanley's story in a different way.
