A new mysteries video that I originally planned to have out on Mother's day (fyi) but finally managed to release it now, enjoy my attempts to explain Porky's true identity, his motives and the nature of his "powers", I end up "solving" some age old mysteries from the 94 classic EarthBound including Porky's odd late-game physiological changes, why the Apple of Enlightenment "failed" to predict Porky's involvement and more oddities...

I'm still partial to the theory where Giygas isn't just Porky, but Porky some ludicrous time in the future after his mind (and perhaps body) has managed to breach the confines of the absolutely safe capsule.

I dig your theory. I don’t necessarily need one of them to be correct. The idea of porky being a friend of Ness who was lured by giygas’ promise of power is intriguing and pretty simple. But the idea of him being giygas himself and trying to fight his own destiny, that’s so cool, and it makes so many things click into place. I’m almost always impressed by Mother fans being able to come up with connections and answers across these games.

25:19 This statement is quite brilliant when you consider the way Ness's mother and the sanctuary locations both provide free healing.

Porky reminds me of Cartman when it comes to all the shenanigans and getting adults to listen to him, regardless of Giygas being an issue 😆

It would also be important to note that both Porky and Giygue's names are technically adjectives, as Giygue's name was created to describe something disturbing beyond comprehension. Porky describes Porky's round and plush form like that of a pig, and garners the polar opposite reaction to Giygue, a word and name invented to describe something unpleasant. That unpleasant something just also happened to be Porky, especially in Mother 3 as he had basically indulged in eating chimera abominations. So the idea that Porky is an incarnation of Giygas is not only believable, but severely depressing as he had not been this bad before as Giygas, and most likely wouldn't have turned this way if he had a loving mother and father as Porky, and a lack of motherly love basically stripped him of all PSI power. Dude reset the universe to be a kid's neighbor, patch over their differences, and maybe become friends, but the universe came back with the loudest smack in existence. No mom. No dad. No love. No PSI. No friends. Your psychically gifted neighbor is comin' to kill ya with his brain. And your abusive mother set everything into motion. Yeah, I'd be shitting my pants, scrambling for a solution only to go insane too.

This one is something truly special. A very well put unifying theory, it's a bit scary how nicely it feels it might fit.

Trilogy is as i can tell a series truly about giygas. Goes from him. To him creating essentially a new avatar for himself. And then finally the avatar itself

About the high amount of ‘four’ we see in Earthbound, in Japan the number 4 is actually a very unlucky number, as it’s pronunciation is very similar to their word for ‘death.’

Wow... This is honestly one of the most interesting, unique, and frankly believable theories I've ever heard. You make some genuinely believable and eye-opening evidence for this idea, which in concept would seem so bizarre and unbelievably insane, that it would rival the Sans is Ness theory. But unlike that theory, the evidence and information that makes the idea actually possible isn't some random details and thinly-veiled connections to make a half-assed theory, its things that aren't ever explained, are odd or peculiar additions to the story, and just, make so much genuine sense. Honestly its stuff like this that inspires me to want to make characters with such fascinating and lore-filled backstories, as so people can have such amazing and cool theories like these. Overall, you did fantastic, and you should feel proud of yourself for making this.

This is the best Mother theory ever. There is no competition. I feel that some other theories actively damage the series main villain but this one adds a lot. Though Mother 2 being an universe reset from Mother 1 is far fetched of course.

Porky was never the same after that civil war field trip...

Wow this is probably my favorite theory and I actually would want this to be true over all others. It’s just so deep. From ness realizing he lost his friend more and more as he continues his journey to Porky becoming more and more afraid of ness being his downfall. It’s perfect

Great stuff, I wondered about how all Mother games could relate, but I thought of something that I find curious, if Porky was really the Giygas of his own Universe or timeline, then I wonder how he was not recognized but the Starman Jr. at beginning? Also Porky also never went to Winters from my understanding, but there was a whole Starmen base their apparently under his command.

How do you only have 45 subs? This video ALONE could be from someone with 10k+ subs! The theory is very good, and I hope you get more subs!
