There is a ton of neutral ending depending on your kill count, who you killed and what you did (or did not do) in the game.

      I think it double 4th wall break, it not saying the player was a coward. But it say toward us, The Watchers Of Players that Was Watching The Players Do An Action. Its Kinda Surprising For Me, Because Before I Play Undertale i watch People play it. And after Flowey said it. I shocked.

    After doing pacifist, I went reseted, and that scene where you meet Sans and Papyrus for the first time, Sans breaks the fourth wall more than once. Example:
    "I'll be *straight-forward* with you," he says this while facing away from Frisk, towards the screen.

  • @WomanSlayer69420

  • @braxiations7868
    @braxiations7868 Před 7 lety +8

    Huff, huff. Phew! Don't worry, I think i have found reasons why the forth wall is safe. Though there are references, they are not flat out saying its a game. Flowey is psychotic so when saying its a game he means the game between him and the player. Some things like press z are non-canon, take pikmin 2 for example. Also, the battles and buttons are created and done through determination (along with saves) and magic. Also, there is a theory that you are Chara spectating and controlling Frisk, (whether good or evil) so when Flowey talks to the player, they are talking to Chara. There is even more so don't worry! (Also, when characters look at the screen, it's just cuz it would be hard to show expression from the side)

    • @subzero1456
      @subzero1456 Před 4 lety +2

      Sorry to say but the 4th wall is not safe. In fact it can't be repaired ever again. One major hole in your theory is that Flowey messes with your save file and even talks about it in character. The 4th wall isn't only broken but burnt to ashes, scooped up and thrown into the wind. We can only hope Flowey doesn't start getting into our other video games and corrupting the characters in them as well. Maybe that's where all the bugs and glitches in video games come from? O.o

    So when they hit you, the game actually exits out of fullscreen mode, and the window SHAKES. LIKE WTH CAN TOBY DO THAT?! I GUESS FRIKKIN SO BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE.

      And Two: He's aware that the player can "time-travel" and whatnot, but he doesn't EXACTLY know, otherwise he would've popped outta the screen and blasted you-

    @funnyblog100 Před 7 lety +4

    Every monster in the game tries to kill you so is killing totally unjustified here? The only monsters that it could not be justified for are perhaps Papyrus and maybe Toriel but Toriel wants to trap you underground forever as a replacement for her child so she is not innocent either. Papyrus did try to kidnap you but I have a suspicion that Papyrus made the bars too wide on purpose knowing that Asgore will kill Frisk if he hands them over. He is just pretending that we escaped. He even hints at this during his battle saying he does not think Asgore will let you go. The puzzles were just a game to him and he could have easily killed us if he wanted to most likely. Never seeing a human before his curiosity got the better of him it seems. The fact that he designs these complex puzzles and uses reverse Psychology on Undyne makes him perhaps one of the smartest characters in undertale. In the genocide path he is the first to notice a pattern of the monsters attacking you first so he realizes if he shows you mercy and simply does not fight it is likely you would stop killing.

    • @randomgamer7193
      @randomgamer7193 Před 2 lety

      That's why killing those who are trying to kill you is justified, but I think Toriel was keeping you there in fear of Frisks safety. She knew Asgore would try to kill Frisk, like all the other Children. She doesn't try to kill you, and when sparred realises that she shouldn't keep you here against your will.
