    UNDERTALE. You've asked for it. Literally, non-stop since the game was released. And at first, even I was a skeptic, but now I'm an Undertale believer, ESPECIALLY since I've uncovered the deep rooted connections between this game and one of my favorite games of all time: Earthbound. The secrets connecting Undertale to Earthbound run DEEP, so get ready to see Undertale (AND some of your favorite characters from Earthbound) as you've never seen them before.

      That's exactly what happened. Matt says in the new video that he doesn't actually believe that these theories are cannon, they're just meant to get people to think in new, creative ways. The toxicity of the undertale community is so bad to the point that they refuse to have open minds about anything. To them, undertale is the video game incarnation of god himself.

    @kaidoust4145 Před 2 lety +3361

    I kind of feel bad for matpat here. He was obviously very excited about this theory, and put a lot of effort into it. When he saw all the refrences to earthbound, it activated his "theorist senses", even though what he was seeing weren't clues, but just earthbound refrences. This theory was made back when little was known about the game, so I think he didn't have that much of the counterevidence we have today.

    • @ExperienceExplosion
      @ExperienceExplosion Před 2 lety +137

      I think one major thing against it is that this theory is based off of the Earthbound Halloween hack something that Toby had already disagreed with upon Undertale's release. This is due to thing in it like slurs and general edginess. Now this I'm not sure of but when Mat went on the defensive, he said himself he didn't believe this theory but like I said, I remember it, but I could be wrong. Honestly though the biggest problem was taking on the Undertale fan base at the games release, they were of... dubious quality I'll say.

      @@ayanokawanegucci7230 By definition, a theory is supposed to be coherent, possible. If I state that Pikachu could be a Chipmunk, then add that it has fur like them and walks on both feet but also on all fours like them, that's not a theory, that's just a dumb correlation debunked by basic facts (i.e Pikachu is described as a _mouse_ monster).
      That's the problem with MatPat. He's known for theories, but he spreads the idea that a theory is just a bunch of dumb guesses regardless of the truth. A theory is an attempt at finding the truth, otherwise it's not a theory.
      Now I don't know about the backlash he got for this specific video, maybe it was violent, but that certainly won't make me defend his theories when those are dumb.

      Yes, but isn't that just the equivalent of saying "It's just a prank, bro!" when you do something horrendous to someone else? It doesn't excuse what you just did, and nor does Matpat's little mantra excuse this terrible theory.

    • @benjivenator

      What I'm trying to say is that tacking something onto the end doesn't excuse what you did beforehand. Just as people don't care whether it was "just a prank", people can still hate flawed logic even if it's "just a theory".

      Now, how about a prank? Physically? could hurt a hella lot. Mentally? It could ruin your trust, it could make someone depressed, etc. So if you think that saying "but hey, that's just a theory. A game theory!" is anything like "it's just a prank", then you need to rethink yourself, kid.

Then it happened again. 2 blows… But he kept his held up high, and now here we are today.

      There are A TON of Mother references in Undertale that weren't mentioned in this video, and many of the tracks in the game are also callbacks to some of the songs in particularly Earthbound (Mother 2). Toby Fox has also worked on several Mother spinoffs, especially in the music department, besides the Halloween Hack one mentioned in this video. I noticed the reference right when I first saw Papyrus' battle design, which was a cool feature, until I saw his stance. That threw me for a loop. What interesting games linked together, if only subtly.

      I enjoyed the video and the theory a lot but there were some definite liberties taken, like how would Frisk recognize Sans as Ness in the picture? Also Ness's warp ability involves him running like a human Dolorian or Epoch to build up speed for the jump in Earthbound, so he only uses it to travel long distances and he certainly can't "blink" around the way Sans does. I also think that Papyrus is a little too invested in the culture of the Underground to be a rogue Starman - even one with a goofy, friendly disposition. If anything it's more likely that Sans/Ness had a Starman uniform with him when he arrived in the Underground and Papyrus simply took a liking to it.
