What reason is there to harass anyone but especially Muse who just primarily makes Silent Hill videos? People need to get a life and stop ruining it for the rest of us who enjoy this content.
Based on personal experience, I'm guessing it's the very nature of her videos. Unfortunately, the Silent Hill community has a number of individuals with *very* strong opinions regarding the games' mythos and symbolism, and anyone who sees things differently can easily become a target for their anger. It's idiotic, obtuse and immature. It's the one reason why I avoid any SH forums, even though I'm a huge fan of the series myself. But, again, that's just my personal guess as to why she might be harassed.
@Binx true. Being a trans, or being in the LGBTQ+ community can easily make you a target of bullying and harassment. There are many fans who posted their videos about their opinions on Silent Hill’s mysteries, and others will find it hard to bully them for having a different opinion. But they could just take Muse’s sexuality to bully him.
@@darnunt yeah true. It’s a real shame. Muse is very open- minded and his theories usually are different from major beliefs. Fans who are obsessed with what the majority believe will bully anyone who have different opinions.
Yes.
@@bluesyrupgc4224 umm did I miss something? Quite sure Muse is a female
Hey, comments are back! Muse has some of the best videos to just mellow out to...despite the grisly subject matter
Seriously. Like, lemme decend into the underworld, but in a chill, therapeutic way
I'm sorry to hear that you're being bullied. I hope those people will find something in their own lives worth more than bringing other people down. Please don't let them stop you from doing what you're good at, or from being comfortable with the way you are.
Happy to see people still talking about this amazing game :)
Nice video!
i wish they remake this game
I'm so sorry you're getting harassed over what are the most thoughtful, well-researched and in-depth explorations of the series I've ever come across. Hopefully those keyboard smashers will get a life. I came across your channel a few days ago and I'm so glad I did!
The comment that struck me is: "he might have a high school degree, but doesn't seem to have a college degree." Which is something i can relate and start to reflect on... After graduated from a vocational high school and got my degree, i don't attend college because i couldn't since i don't have the money to enroll... So all i have is my high school degree, sure it's from a vocational high school... But it's still just a high school degree. I certainly have a hard time applying and finding a job along with living a poor life. The fact that he also lives in a rental apartment, also i can relate since i also living in a rental home. One that is different... Is that he lives alone, while I live with my family still... Which causes me to think of "being a burden" and all that to everything and everyone.
Overall, a nice video that somehow... Makes me reflect
Binge watching silent hill videos by MUSE is my relaxation technique along with a cup of coffee. ❤
Sorry to hear about the harassment. I really enjoy your videos, allows me to look back at themes from the series without replaying them, as I don't have much time to these days.
I appreciate your work, and I can't imagine anyone (other than foreskin-obsessed wiki dictators) getting upset over your interpretation of very symbolical and subjective stories and themes. Keep it up, is all I'm saying.
Not to mention how expensive copies are now. I sold mine (along with thousands of other games and 40 or so consoles) because I was at the worst of my heroin addiction. Now I just saw Silent Hill 3 selling for $300. I have a modded PS2 but still...
I really do hope people stop hassling OP and just accept that variety is the spice of life and a world where everyone was wired the same would be dull.
@@alteredstates927 precisely my point. Many people haven't lived life, felt its struggles, been in true pain and lifted up by pure joys. Therefore, why would they understand what these stories are about? How can we expect a fish to understand the smell of cut grass?
And yes, you're correct, prices of older games went waaay way up during the pandemic. Hopefully they'll come back down in a few years 🤷♂️
Love Silent Hill videos, but SH4 is the game I don’t really get. So I’m loving these videos to help me wrap my head around this game.
Yeah, being honest, I found 4 to be the most cryptic and... well "convoluted" isn't exactly the word I'm looking for, but hard to follow in the same sense, just not in a bad way. For one thing, I could have sworn the apartment building was the same as the apartments in 2, furthered by James' father living/working there. I also needed these videos just to wrap my head around some of the major plot points, whereas the other games I understood pretty well and just watched for the symbolism.
As a Fan of the IP I'm really sorry you experienced something like that. Some fanbase are really so toxic and led to a dangerous entitlement.
I just saw your channel and really made me intrigued on the very detailed analysis and interpretation of the series, quite a feat of effort.
I sub just for that.
Keep doing what you love and ignore the otherworld creatures, there the embodiment of their own sins.
Aaaah, yes, this attention to detail in the environments is literally what I live for. Have you taken a look at the Little Nightmares games? Their is no dialogue or writing, so the entire story is told through the environment. Aside from being ripe for theory fodder, it's just impressive how much they cram into it. I'd love to see you tackle those games with this level of detail. (Not to mention, the LN community is rabid for content, so I'm sure the views would be nothing to scoff at. ;p )
Good work, Muse!
I love how detailed your videos are, fantastic work! =)
Henry's predicament is almost ironic, primarily due to him being called 'The Receiver of Wisdom' while gradually losing his capacity for independent thinking. Now that I think about it: it almost feels as if the 'wisdom' he's 'receiving' is subsuming his mind. Great video!
Henry is such a missed opportunity i wish silent hill 4 focused more on him because "a lonely person escaping isolation by exploring someone else's nightmares created in Silent Hill" describes like majority of silent hill players
I just finished all silent hill games and I'm loving your insights about them. Keep up with the good work
Dunno who is harassing you and ab what, but... I for one have loved hearing you talk ab this game series in particular. I just found this channel maybe 2 weeks ago but love going through the backlog. Thanks for the great content :)
To hear it from Walter the room's his mother since as a kid he misheard Dahlia's lie about his mother being in Room 302 as her being Room 302.
I literally learn something everytime I click one of your videos
I recently saw a video about accurate bible angels and that sphere with rings spinning around it reminded me of such angels
More likely it's the device from Event Horizon
This might explain the Room of the Angel track
@@00KiryuZero00 It also appears in the 13 Ghosts movie
@@00KiryuZero00 That's what I said in another video and was about to repeat here. Did they just take it from the film or does that device have some old world meaning?
@@alteredstates927 The book of lost memories does say that SH4 took inspiration from Event Horizon but I can't find any more meaning to it
So quick theory: when Henry starts to lose his mind, could it be that the memories and persona of Joseph are being intertwined with Henry's? Like Josephs personality mixing with Henry?
That would explain the wierd shoe situation. Joseph was the one to go to Silent Hill, his the one that would keep a scrapbook and the shoes were bought in Silent Hil...
Love the content!
i like these it helps me understand the game an the link to other things
i thank you for these videos
Very interesting for watch, thanks
This was a really interesting watch.
Just got my gf to play Silent Hill 2, and I’ve been mulling over the recurrence of room 208.
Just the opening of this video made me contemplate the similar possibility of the 0 significance;
2 souls (James and Mary) lost in the void (0) for seeming eternity (8 turned sideways)
Probably overthinking it, but given the nature of these games maybe there is some kind of truth to it.
Anyhow, always loving your analysis of the series.
Keeps my mind turning like Valtiel’s valves.
Man, I loved SH4. A bit of an odd-duck in the series and not without it's flaws, but it's got such a vibe to it.
I like 4. Just not as much as 1. Which I don't like as much as 2 and 3, the masterpieces of the series. Origins was okay, everything outside those five was shite.
@@alteredstates927 I think it would have been better received if it hadn't been billed as an SH game. It would stand on its own merit much better. The connection is tenuous anyways.
I honestly thought at 8:30, you were going to say that he forgot what magazines were. It gave me a good laugh. Great video!
I dont get why they couldn't borrow the ideas and concepts of the room 😕 ....for other installments.. pt was getting their be we know how it turned out
Silent Hill 2 fanboys bitched about SH4 the most, they were mad it didn’t take place in Silent Hill and thought it was too different
This game could be an allegory for when your partner leaves you and you have to finish your lease in the apartment you shared.
I only just discovered your channel. It is very sad that you have received harrassment over your videos. I hope to be able to support you so I can see more in the future.
A remake of this game would be so amazing. Just imagine how much better an adaptation of this game’s lore and characters would be if it had better gameplay mechanics. Perhaps even more exploration of the character of Henry.
I love your videos 👍
Me and my brother are working on Splicing the maps together. We have the goal of recreating the game in VR.
so frank is James from sh2's father?
It is implied. They have the same last name and also the symbolism of the apartments section of SH2. If James lived in an apartment building as a kid, which is implied by the fact that Frank has been the intendent since 40 yrs ago, then the use of a apartment building with heavy symbolism for James' psychi would add up.
I think the SH wiki confirms this.
Love you ❤❤❤❤❤
wow
Someone please call TAPS!
I still don't really understand the connection of voyeurism, either by it's sexual and original definition, or by a more Gerald Mast or loosely based pop-culture definition of finding excitment in watching others or other events unfold.
I can't quite remember if Walter engages with voyeurism, but as far as things go, Henry definitely does not...right? Even the peep hole serves as a way to know if Eileen is safe and wasn't even his own doing, there's genuinely no pleasure or appeal to engaging with voyeurism, nor here, nor anywhere in the game itself.
Maybe i'm missing something; not sure if you reply, but i'll leave it here anyway in case someone wants to engage and enlighten me.
Walter experienced voyeurism when he spent time in the Water Prison… being watched from the middle room.
Henry experiences voyeurism by not only watching eileen, but from looking out the peephole or looking outside his window in room 302… watching people go about their daily lives
didnt the simpsons do a rear window thing lol
I’ve just recently found your channel but what the could people want to harass you for? These are silent hill theories and interpretations why is it bothering people???

Well that topics fits pretty well in the age of germophobia and hypochondria resulting into being forced into your own homes no matter what.
