- The Cuphead DLC has added a ton of fun easter eggs and story bits. And its finally driven me mad. Mortimer Freeze is a cult leader, but what exactly are the plans of the Snow Cult Scuffle? And how does Hilda Berg fit into all of this? What is the ice palace? who is that snow golem? Bepi the Clown?

Actually with how classic cartoons used to nearly copy-paste character archetypes, it makes perfect sense to me that Hilda and Mortimer (two individuals involved with witchcraft, astrology and demonic whatnot) would have the classic witchy nose at the height of their power
Personally I assumed that Mortimer created those snowmen to keep him company or act as his servants but they ended up worshipping him for creating them.
Here's an alternate take on Mortimer's Tarot card attack that I think makes more sense. Mortimer is telling the cups their fortune. With the sun card, he's telling them how great it is to have Ms. Chalice join them on their adventure. With the moon card, they're unknowingly Chef Saltbaker's minions. Attacking everyone on the island and stealing the ingredients for the Wondertart for him. And finally, the three swords. Which tells them that Chef Saltbaker's playing the cups for saps. Intending to use a living soul as the secret ingredient and try to kill the other two cups!
Personally, I think Mortimer Freeze is more benevolent than the theories in this video make him out to be.
I think you can look at the tarot cards in multiple ways tbh, just like actual tarot card readings
If we use the traditional format of one card for the past, one for the present and one for the future, I reckon the moon would be the past (representing the cups’ experiences fighting everyone in isles 1-3 and in hell since you could argue there are themes of deception there, but it’s also possible to be about how you’re deceived when talking to saltbaker for the first time). The sun is the present (things are going well and there’s hope for the future of ms chalice) and the 3 of swords is of the future, where saltbaker betrays them. A fundamentally sorrowful experience could be either describing the past or the future, however, but the moon can’t be the future card because by then there won’t be any deception anymore
Remember that during Mortimer’s third phase, he is simply still just “inside” the snowflake just as he was the snow golem. When he throws the buckets at you, he’s summoning them with his own two arms as he’s piloting essentially this frozen “mech” of sorts. I always thought it was interesting that mortimer never actually has the ability to change form, he just plays dress-up for the whole fight.
Interesting
" Adorn with shackles and topped with a mysterious orange bucket , the booming snow beast holds many secrets to his origin ." - The Cuphead art book wen talking about the untitled snow boss . I believe that the golem is a combination of previous sacrifices due to him wearing the same hat as the others in the background. Its chanded away to make sure the restless spirits dont rebel when Mortimer isnt using them. Just food for thought.
I always thought of him as a mech suit thing
@@eggnogisdead it actually is and he’s wrong… cause it’s just a bunch of snow around him
What does chanded mean?
@@generalcrab0009 lol i meant to write " Chained " but i was really tired wen i wrote the comment so its just a typo
*chained
I'd like to think that in reality there isn't a snow cult- instead Mortimer's just insane yet lonely so to compensate for his crippling loneliness, he MADE every cult member. Considering his second phase, it's not exactly too far off. Not to mention just how in his losing screen of the first phase- "It'll be a warm December before I let you be a member"- it implies that he won't LET people join the cult. Why though? Well because he thinks actual people are probably going to backstab him
That's just my theory tho
I mean, i think ts cause ya know, cuphead attacked him
@@k.w.6626 I mean that too- but it's fun to think about
That's how I saw it at first. He's a snow wizard, he uses his living creations to attack, of course the entire audience is just part of his spell.
Huh, weird how similar that is to a certain Ice wizard, king perhaps.
A Game Theory, thanks for watching
The whale's star pattern are actually a constellation in and off itself, it's the Whale Constellation - he could have used the same magic as Hilda to bring to life a constellation like she does to transform herself.
I think the tarot cards are referencing the saltbaker fight, he starts off as a good character setting you off on a noble quest to save Ms. chalice, but that was a lie and you're gonna get yer ass kicked by him
2:19 The arena has some similarities to a colosseum, so the sounds from inside might be the crowd cheering on another battle
It sounds more like a one-man voice than a crowd, expecially with it's low tone it's sounds like an old man voice wich perfectly fits Mortimer.
It's probably him just making a loud speech to his members. Even in his entrance animation you can see him sitting on his throne like you interrupted their meeting or something.
It’s penguins
@@ChiefSuperIntendedBacon I agree
Honestly the thing is with Hilda is that unlike Mortimer is that she kinda doesn't see it coming when she changes into last stage (Or at least shows major discomfort.)
(BIG THEORY HERE) Maybe she was punished for turning into all these real celestial beings and was turned into a mecha moon (It its kinda robot as seen in one of her attacks where she extends her head) and she uses her punishment to attack you and take you down with her.
Wow, it seems so obvious now !
She does owe her soul to the devil, so that sounds solid. Unlike most other bosses in the main game, Hilda actually seems to actively use powers that seem to be unnatural to her - she's a blimp, but her main ability is for some reason the power over stars. Even the queen bee has a magic wand that visually suits her theme. I'd guess that she's literally using a sort of witchcraft, and that's why her soul contract started acting up in the middle of the fight - because she was directly drawing power from it.
@@yanchukcha9748 Yeah I really like that idea
I think the snow golem is sentient on its own, and Mortimer just fused with it to gain more power.
In Chef Saltbaker’s comic in the epilogue, it can be seen fishing in the background and smiling
Even the snowflake seems to be sentient on its own. During one of the attacks, Mortimer sends his soul out for a flight, but the boss is still moving.
Besides, the golem's legs walk away during the transition to the third phase and can even damage you.
@@yanchukcha9748 also when mortimer is summoning buckets at cuphead/mugman/chalice during phase 3 the snowflake stares at his hands and sees where the buckets go,it is also holding the little door for his hands to go through
i hope you do the winchester too! the fact that it indicates that she may be a corrupted sheriff is really interesting to me.
She owned a saloon during prohibition era and she is the nearest boss to moonshine mob, she has snake oil as her attack implies that she like to scam her customers, she have the most gun like attack for her "kid friendly firearms", she vacuum up others valuable.
And even have a wanted poster. Definitely an outlaw sheriff.
yep, would be amazing to see
She’s not a sheriff that was just what someone said before the dlc came out she’s an outlaw
@@obliviouslynormal3664 i cant believe this. i have seen these comment for so many goddamn times.
for godsake the trailer says
"the watchful eyes of SHERIFF winchester". it is what people call before the DLC come out because it is what the TRAILER says. it never have been said if the lore somehow change and she isnt a sheriff anymore but that is all we know. that her position is A SHERIFF.
this is the reason why it is interesting to me. because they say she is a sheriff but she seems like an outlaws. so i rlly need some wild theory right there.
So a sheriff stealing from her ppl then?
Howling Aces are overrated, I'm majorly surprised Mortimer isn't more popular, great vid btw
The way I see it, you're one of three thing, Earthbound, Semi-Astral, or an Astral being. Characters like Cuphead and Mugman, are Earthbound, as they're obviously very alive, however like Ms.Chalice, upon death their souls move into the Astral plane. They can "return" and interact with Earthbound beings, but ultimately can't do much besides move physical objects or get parried. Semi-Astral beings are characters like Hilda Berg and Ol' Mortimer here. They draw power from the Astral Plane, giving them abilities that are unlike anything an Earthbound being could hope to achieve. For the most part, they're simply stronger Earthbound beings. Finally, there's Astral Beings, such as the Phantom Express, and The Devil himself. These beings either live withn, or draw extreme power from the Astral Plane. Being an Astral being allows you to return to a physical form, or possibly grant yourself one, however this is only if you're strong enough to draw such power from the Astral Plane. Personally, I see the reason Saltbaker wanting to gain Astral powers, is to become immortal, however the reason he chooses to be immortal, is to maintain his title as Greatest Chef in all the Land, with the Wondertart becoming his sole reason to keep the role, while functioning as his Magnum Opus as well. That's just a theory though...a CUPHEAD theory! Thanks for reading
*Giygas intensifies*
@@cheatcode436 not that Earthbound chump
Hers my try at making a theory about this:
I want to remind everyone that the main game bosses made a deal with the devil whilst the DLC bosses didn’t. I think Hilda Burg made a deal to turn her into a sort of demigod, which lets her transform into godly celestial beings including a moon. I think that Mortimer worships Hilda, the god of the celestial beings, and inducts cult members to experiment on them to discover a way for him to become a similar god but not by making a deal with the devil.
The reason I think he experiments on the members is because the beast he summons is just a bulkier what I assume a more powerful version of the bucket wearing members in the background. Perhaps he’s a failed experiment that didn’t fully become a god but made him extremely powerful, and the final snowflake is the final experiment, a being that can summon energy shooting enemies and float in mid air, just like Hilda floating in the sky with her energy shooting UFOs.
In the end, Cuphead manages to destroy his form and cause to revert back to regular Mortimer.
so yeah. but how is the snow monster a refrigerator?
@@tvman2181 cause it's funny
His first death quote suggests he doesn’t want real people in the cult and he used his power to make the snowman and the members.
8:39
Perhaps the bucket is a symbol of power/ability within the cult as only some of the members in the background are wearing one. It could have been given by Mortimer / The snowflake to members deemed worthy enough to have it.
There’s something I didn’t notice about Mortimers fight up until I saw this video.
Before Mortimer swings the whale out of his hat, You could see that there’s a bunch of stars across its back. I’m not sure if this is a constellation or if it’s just randomly placed stars but… I thought it was worth the mention.
Beppi maybe ties into this as his area could be his own domain. It seems HE is controlling the park to attack you like calling the cart, and even the final phase turning into that carousel thing. It seems due to the carnival being his domain, he can control it. It's more lair stuff like how villains can control the lair to fight the hero(es).
Yeah that might have been why he signed his contract. To take control of the park making it his or to be a famous clown.
@@cooper9617 Probably, yeah
@@cooper9617Maybe it was already his. I mean- The Devil doesn't really give a shit about you unless you *specifically gamble* your soul away to him. In the games at least.
I feel like there's a connection between Werner Werman and the Howling Aces. Mostly Because the Bulldog pilot in the first phase uses a cat that looks exactly like Katzenwagen from Werner's Final phase.
Perhaps Werner and The Howling aces were at war with each other, then Werner signed his soul away so he could fight the howling aces with the very cats they used again't him. Since Werner and his battle have lots of references to War and also that Werner speaks German, and the Howling Aces look like a military army... (this is a bit of a stretch) but this could have been 'WW1' in the 'CUPHEAD' universe.
(or not I'm probably stupid)
(Also LOVE YOUR CONTENT! ❤ ❤ ❤
This man is a genius
There were no planes in ww1 though
Your not stupid dont belittle yourself like that. I think your idea is actually really smart and clever. I can definetly see this being true. Even if were just two random people on te internet who dont know each other. I would like you to now that you seem like a very nice person. 😁
@S de Koning alt 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@Judge_0f_EverythingSorry i dont understand?
I think the sounds are the crowd cheering on mortimer as he defeats a gladiator. ( I think the map is a colloseum)
hmmm thats a cool idea
But Hilda seems to lose control of whatever magic she’s using when she becomes the moon. I don’t think Hilda has any major connection to Mortimer. Hilda is thought to be a meteorologist on Inkwell Isle but what if while studying the weather and the stars, she discovered the means to use astral magic(her zodiac forms)?
That sound coming from the outside could be Mortimer speaking to the cult, along with howling wind. As for the tarot cards, I personally think they're describing the cups journey in this dlc, the sun representing new friends, the moon representing saltbakers hidden agenda, and the 3 of swords representing his betrayal and how chalice can't actually come back permanently.
I'm not sure whether or not this has to do with Mortimer, but his snowflake form kinda looks like Cryogonal from Pokémon, which is pretty much a sentient snowflake with crystal chains coming from its lower half and are used as arms of sorts, just like Mortimer does in this form
Coulb be a reference to it but who knows
@@Kyumifun hopefully, Cryogonal is very cool (pun not intended)
I mean the pokemon has a relatively simple design, I think saying they're related might be a bit of a stretch
though there are a few stretches, its still somewhat interesting
though if Mortimer does want to control the astral plane, I imagine its as a way to make inkwell isles have eternal winter, since it is a snow cult after all
As a massive Undertale fan, I can confirm the fandom is pretty cult-like in parts.
ALL HALE FUNNI SKELTON MAN
Saying that deltarune has no lore at all is pretty odd though considering there’s actually quite a lot, considering undertale lore and deltarune lore are basically one set or lore.
Both do seem to resemble astral body's. However mortimer's final form seems to be more artificial unlike Hilda's final form
hilda's final form is literally mechanical
I think she has some form of cosmic power... Also Hilda's final form definitely has more power, she could easily beat Mortimer's final form in a fight.
Here's something i found: Did you know the stars on the back of the Whale Mortimer pulls out are actually the star alignments for a Whale in the stars.
The buckets kind of feel to me like those plastic ones you'd bring to the beach to build sandcastles. My first idea was that they're a symbol from before the beginning of the cult - when Mortimer decided to build a person out of sand/snow and became inspired to learn ice magic and make it alive. So I guess it sort of symbolizes a vestigial origin of life for the snowmen.
So, the moon at 7:51 in Beppi the Clown's stage looks conspicuously like the snowflake mask in the background through most of Mortimer's fight. Maybe he's also using some degree of astral plane trickery in his fight? His final transformation is very dramatically different from his main form, and doesn't really draw upon the balloon motif that he's got going on, kind of like how Hilda Berg doesn't use constellations for her last dramatic transformation.
Hilda Berg is totally the most dangerous character in Cuphead, not only is she one of maybe 3? pre-DLC bosses who manipulate the Astral Plane (Djimmi and the Devil) she seems to be more adept than either. I'm wearing this tinfoil hat to my grave.
I just thought Mortimer was lonely and built lots of snowmen to join his snow cult
As a DnD player that joke towards the end was so true.
Another fun thing with the theory is that his name is Mortimer Freeze, and Mort is Death in Latin, maybe they sacrifice Mortimer?
2:16 they might be the cult's sound because many snowmans can be seen in mortimer freeze map
Could also be one of them cults that produce stuff.
With the sugar being what you get from them it might be a special type of sugar made from the Astral plain.
The sound outside of the level definitely sounds like chanting of some sort. And the 3 of swords card seems to me like your theory of the snowmen coming together to become the snow golem was true. That card could symbolize that the cult members end up turning themselves into weapons for Mortimer to achieve his ultimate goal of ascension.
I pre ordered Cult of the Lamb. Cannot wait.
Can he beat Goku though?
Music alone is amazing
I can
Good for me
I think something to keep in mind is that all the base game bosses had at some point made a deal that caused their soul debt. Admittedly these debts could have been caused by nearly anything, although we have to keep in mind that each debitter managed to escape the devil's initial attempt to claim their soul. Its an interesting little mystery box of potential for them.
8:28 every random theory ever explained in 10 seconds
It a wonder why you didn't said anything about the night time on the battle of Pear Lap. Additionally, In my opinion the decoration in the middle of the arena is definitely Sun. The sound you hear when you go close to the arena is the sound of the cult leader and the members, according to the wiki.
2:14 I think it’s Mortimer shouting to his followers about.. idk cult stuff.
Some good ideas, and I agree - while you may not have landed on it with this theory, there is definitely an overarching "mystery" story that MDHR has crafted that is going on between the bosses, waiting to be uncovered.
That sound is probably Mortimer just giving a good ol’ fashioned cult speech.
Nah it's "bro you saw who won the football" "uhhhh yeah?" "You lost the bet where's the money" "shoot" *runs* away
Mdhr: haha cartoons weird and funny turn into giant moon
Cuphead fans: deepest lore, truly a masterpeice of worldbuilding
It’s all cycle I tell you
I personally think that the sounds coming from the area on the map is some form of a ritual happening, I think it would make sense considering Mortimer’s stage is a cult like area.
Was gonna say myself, it sounds like some kind of chant the snowmen in the background are doing for some ritual inside. Who knows, maybe we’re interrupting them mid-ritual?
That would be a cool explanation for the fight- at least I think so anyway.
These videos are what Game Theory should've done on Cuphead. There is so much lore potential with the show and DLC now, and Matpat isn't covering it. And what we did get was a Moonshine theory that has basically been confirmed false with the Show and the Moonshine Mob.
well sadly I dont have the team and money that mattpatt does but I am trying my best!
What moonshine theory?
Moonshine Mob lore could be interesting, with the implication of prohibition, and how the flies in Clip Joint Calamity resemble the thugs working under the spider.
I see Chef Saltbaker’s future in the cards! First, all goes well, the quest for the Wondertart, then Chef Saltbaker is not what he seems, and then he loses his bakery, which was sad for him!
I usually just go by the Casino Cups, (fan comic), version of Hilda Bergs story. If you haven’t read that part of the comic, I shall enlighten you. Hilda was a pilot who was paralyzed in a crash and she made a deal with the Devil to and the Devil quotes, “Get her back into the sky no matter what.”, so he got creative and turned her into a mechanical being with the ability to take many forms including a moon.
The noise you hear in the lobby is Mortimer announcing the tournament.
The pattern on the whale’s back resembles Cetus, a constellation seen in December and looks like a whale. While this is a cool Easter egg it can also tie into Hilda who also uses constellations.
I got an idea what the sound is! Possibly Mortimer freeze sacrificing one of the members.. that's why there's alot of weird gasps and stuff.. and then that's where that weird laugh comes from.I think this is the devil taking the member or Mortimer freeze. So we know why the devil would laugh. HES F- IN EVIL! But. Mortimer must be a monster.. his true form is that snow flake!He died in it .. came back with the Wondertart that chef saltbaker made possibly then he leaded a cult tricked them into making him into his powerful form again... So he can RULE!!!!
Mortimer is by far my favourite boss in the game even though I like most of them I really loved all of his phases and animations and the fact that he is a cult leader and has followers cheering for him is funny and I love the arena and the music as well
The astral plain and cult theory for Mortimer freeze actually makes a lot of sense. Great video again, pogobro!
the noise from when you approach the igloo could be mortimer's megaphone as in calling out things, since the place we fight in looks like a gladiator arena
I think the things you hear at the egg glue is mortimer freeze Laughing when he hears about 3 cups trying to take his sugar cubes
During the Mortimer fight, you can hear noises from the cult followers. These are the noises that you can hear when you walk to the boss fight.
How did I just realize that Mortimer is one of the first bosses showed before 2022?
I'm still wondering on how Ms. Chalice is alive in the post credit scene-
Cuphead and Mugman are still there, how's she still there if you still need the Astral cookie to summon her after the end?
Actually the whale is supposed to be a constellation based on the real life constellation called Cetus, in another part of history it’s just called a sea monster but in English is just a whale.
The stars on the whales back are very similar to the constellation "Cetus" it might just be a coincidence, but this further connects Mortimer with Hilda berg.
I must say, you put a lot of effort into these lore videos. Keep up the good work.
thanks! they are really fun to make :D
During cult indoctrination, they have a step where they show punishment or “withhold the prize” which is what the swords represent. The sun is the prize, the moon is the leader, and the swords are the punishment. This means that if someone goes against the cult, they are given the punishment (here quite literally with three swords), showing how the player is in the wrong (through the cults eyes) because they will never get the prize.
I think it’s intentional that the thing they’re being promised, a sun, is what would kill the whole snow cult, due to melting. Maybe this is sort of the same type of thing as the ascension types of cult that causes dozens and sometimes even hundreds of people to die.
2:19 I think its either the crowd of Snow people getting hype for the fight, as the area looks similar to a colosseum, or its some sort of cult séance
Something else interesting is how similar Mortimer and Hilda really are
Both have long noses, both have a pointy headpiece (Hilda's weather vane, and Mortimer's hat), both are rotund in their first phase (Not counting Hilda's Intro appearance) also this may be a stretch, but Hilda gets yellow eyes like Mortimer when in a constellation phase
You should also take into consideration that maybe Mortimer fully made the cult, we see him make ice shards that attack you, and the snow golem appears not to be alive until Mortimer goes inside him
He's also fine in the credits after being destroyed
Mortimer may be able to make snowpeople, so maybe they aren't exactly being used against their will, and they were purposely made to help him in his cult
With the Snow Cult, I feel like it's not just over-board speculation, but you're missing some obvious details:
1.) The Cult looks less like what we'd now associate with a cult and more like a silly secret society, ala the Royal Order of the Corn.
2.) The theme of the location is The Arctic, the "Land of the Midnight Sun." The whale is connected to the Arctic, PS.
I know this has pretty Much nothing to do with the video, but thanks for using my screenshot showing that boss is underrated!
the image was sent to me via dms, where did you post it?
@@Pogobro Reddit.
@@ThatBackroomsFan I cant find the post, if you can link it I will credit!
Honestly, yeah, I love lore in games, and when games have bits that just feel too connected, I theorize a lot too, so yeah dude, what you’re speaking of is a mood
As a freemason, a few things stood out to me about this snow cult.
1.) The buckets they are wearing may resemble fezzes that The Shriners wear, which is a subset of freemasons.
2.) The Sun, Moon, and Swords have heavy symbology in Freemasonry. Without having to go deeper by what I mean, I recommend you look more into that.
3.) Probably the weaker of the few, but Mortimer appears to be more of a Grand Master of this cult. It would kinda make sense given that he’s a wizard. Like I said, it’s definitely weaker compared to my two previous observation, but it’s still food for thought.
Maybe Hilda Berg is ex-member of the cult or she is the sister of Mortimer. And that sounds are sounds of Mortimer betraying the victim or sounds of sacrifice.
2 things that I found. First the star pattern on the back of the whale is a constellation that is supposed to be a whale called Cetus which ties back to the Hilda berg theory. And the sound on the main map sounds like a chant in Latin which I roughly translated to “we guard the realm for us to live”. So yeah that’s my theory.
The swords are a reference to Darkstalkers it's one of the characters Hsien-Ko attacks the creators of Cuphead are huge fighting game fans there's tons of references from character designs to boss quotes
The sound at the part when you enter snow cult scuffle might be chef salt baker laughing.
One thing I noticed is all the people that Chef asks you to take ingredients from are possibly bad people. A cult, military (war crimes), a wanted bandit, a mafia and then there’s that giant which was a gold mine for greedy elf’s.
This was so random but well made so thank you
Thank u, ppl were really under covering this guy. Fav boss in the dlc
It's also interesting to note that in the 1st phase of the Devil's boss fight where he's sitting in his chair, if you look at the floor where his chair is, there's a sun symbol right there.
Let’s not forget that the buckets that Mortimer casts out at you in the final faze split off into semi crescent moons with a small bump in the middle, likely representing a face or nose
I think the creepy noise when you get there is Mortimer freeze laughing
2:18 those are probably the snow cult cheering on a fight
6:01 What about Beppi the clown his whole fight is at night and doesn't coralate with spirits, snowflakes, tarot cards, or anything astral related.
are you sure about that? ;)
@@Pogobro I'm pretty confident but I'm open on being proven wrong😉
I think it might be nighttime during Beppi the clown’s battle
I think the Astral Plane is basically where all the magic of Inkwell Isle comes from, and everyone has some connection to it hence to their abilities. Kinda like The Warp in 40k and Psykers who can tap into it.
In the bebi fight there is a moon in the background that looks like the frozen over moon in the snow cult scuffle fight. Not sure what that means but just thought I would put it out there
having used to work with witches, tarot cards aren't really a ritual item. candles anointed while intention setting, a jar with various symbolic and literal ingredients being buried in a cemetary, using gestures and words to invoke (bringing an entity, diety, etc into your body) or evoke (call on their power without using your body as a vessel), those are more ritual-type things
I'm guessing that Mortimer Freeze's final form is Him fighting alongside the otherworldly being that the cult worships. I personally call this entity the "Cold Sun" because He is the cold yet sunny counterpart to Hilda Berg's moon form. My theory is that the snowman exploding was required to summon the Cold Sun.
What I Thing What The Sound Is, Outside of the His Boss, Cheering, And Someone Talking Over The PA, Maybe To Them It’s Like A Boxing Match?
The humor in this video is very mossbag-esque. Really enjoyed it!
that is a huge compliment thanks!
bro the cuphead dlc has made you some serious bank dude, respect. u finna boutta make 5k from this vid fr.
“There isn’t really much lore at all” shows deltarune, a game with super deep, dark, intricate lore
exposed
I love these types of videos!!! Pls don’t stop making them
thanks! as long as I can find something to actually talk about I will!
Im actually working on some cuphead videos right now should only take a few weeks
Here's a thought, as the invincibility super says that you cross the astral plane might explain why chalice's roll makes her invincible for a second
Mortimer and his Snow cult are just a bunch of weirdos who like the cold. They probably have fights inside their stadium and the Snowlem is their undefeated champion, he’s used to winning. “Iced already?! Where puny cups go?”
I was about to say that the sounds when you go near the igloo was a chant to start and you disturb them when you enter, just maybe.
missed opportunity to make the title "mortimer freeze lore is cold"
damn actually goes hard
I think Mortimer made those snowmen sense their snow and he has the ability to create anything out of snow. He’s just an lonely guy
8:01 'whale' is a constellation, and Hilda always shows just one eye because she's turned to the side
I'm sure people have said this already, but I have the artbook, so I can confirm that the building we fight Mortimer in is supposed to reference a Roman Coliseum. I think it gives the idea of a cult conditioned to enjoy fights to the death.
Things the book also emphasizes is the snow monster's bucket as well as the throne Mortimer starts his fight on. Not sure what it means, but it's clearly important.
The monster is in fact a reference to The Snowman (Eshbaugh 1933) and the Jack Frost you mentioned before, among other things.
My theory for how bebpi ties in to all of this is so when we see Mortimer, freeze or Hilda berg, do this ritual, we see them take a larger and stronger form, same thing with how we see bebpi turn into a large carousel thing and also I think saltbaker does the same ritual because we see him go from twice the size of ms chalice, Cuphead, and mug man to a lot bigger, and we also see him somehow turn non-living ingredients into actual living ingredients and I believe him stealing a soul somehow gave him the powers. The ritual does but a lot stronger, but then when you beat him he loses his power and goes back to his original size and it turns back to day as we see in the cut scene you get after beating him
Theory: Hilda is just Mortimer's daughter.
