Thane Gaming | Dark Aspects of EarthBound/MOTHER 2 (Part II) - Thane Gaming @ThaneGaming | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Dark Aspects of EarthBound: Part II is here! In the last episode, I talked about the depictions of violence & villainy in MOTHER 2, and how much of that was retained for the English localization. This time, I’ll be talking about every reference to death, dying, and demons--a conversation taking us to the depths of Ness’ mind, Magicant. We’ll explore the macabre town of Threed, the back alley of Fourside, and some lesser-known morbid jokes in the script!
