One of the saddest moments of foreshadowing Claus' identity comes from the way we see him wield his lightning sword to attempt to electrocute Lucas' party the first time the Franklin badge hits back.
He swings it diagonally and then down in the exact same way Flint swung a piece of lumber around in reckless distegard for his loved ones when learning about Hinawa.
We already know Flint left a traumatic violent impression on Lucas through his abusive specter on Tane Tane Island, but here we see Claus attacking his own brother using the exact same violence he learned from that terrifying moment in his life.

When I played Mother 1 for the first time, when I got to Magicant and found the Flying Man's house, I thought "Cool, another party member to help me grind my way through that dumb cave". He fell in battle, and when I went to the revival house, he couldn't be revived. My next thought was "Oh, he probably just ran home", then I saw his grave. And I never used another Flying Man in my playthrough.

I think one of the most fucked up things about Mother3, is that Kumatora was almost certainly intended to be the last magypsi until very late in game development. she, like the other magypsi's, has pink hair, and several NPCs mention having a hard time telling if she's a boy or a girl. she hates dressing as 100% feminine, has close ties to the magypsies, unused art, and her magic powers are very similar to the other magypsies. Imagine the devastation of having just survived Claus, and then having to pull her needle.

I always thought Porky was the realest victim of MOTHER. He, maybe influenced by Giygas, kickstarted everything because he was jealous of Ness having everything he didn't. Including a loving mother . The entire series is clearly about love and the absence of it - not necessarily hate, but the feeling of love and loss, or never having been loved at all, and how tragic and horrific that could be or turn people into.
It sort of hit me watching this that the incomprehensible form of Giygas could be interpreted as what the anguish of knowing love, from Mary, and living without it for a Very long time might look like, especially considering the last thing we know he did was being defeated by the sound and memory of her lullaby. He's the actual picture of confusion and grief. Plus, he's an alien, we have no idea how he works
I like that Mother 3 brings it back from cosmic horror to a more grounded, human-centric story after that especially, because Pokey was there when Giygas was destroyed, which literally had to be extremely traumatizing, then he ruined himself using a time machine, and still, after countless years, he remembers Ness, and remembers wanting to be his friend most of all. But he keeps those memories locked behind high security. He's ancient, but he never grew up. It's a very scary idea to me.
He's just a kid with no family and an annoying knock that wanted a friend. Everything he did is reprehensible, but if you trace everything back to the origin, those were the catalysts for Earthbound/MOTHER 2 and later 3. Arguably the real reason is George stealing PSI but w/e, it still led to that.
Anyway, there's my spur-of-the-moment Ted Talk, I'm gonna go subscribe now. Excited to see more of your content.💙

I think the end of Mother 3 is the only time I ever saw my older brother tear up to any kind of media. I remember afterwards he expressed to me, who was experiencing the game with him, how much he loved me, which isn't something he often does. That it would kill him to see me like that and that he would die for me. Him as well as one of my younger brothers have experienced a lot of health complications through their lives. It's not easy to watch your siblings suffer immensely with no way to really help. Perhaps it's best we played it down in the basement instead of up in the living room, as my mom lost her sister when they were just barely adults. I can't imagine what it would be like to loose any one of my siblings at my age or younger.

What i interpret the ending of mother 3 is one that i heard some where and agree with. When Lucas pulls the needle, what ever the player wanted to happen happens. If you want it, the dragon destroys everything. But on the other hand, if you want it, the dragon get rid of porkys influence and gives everyone a happy ending. Its all based on the player.
