"The hat of Count Ymir, High Priest. The circular design at the top represents the Greater Will and its lightless abyss" for me this line makes clear that the Geat Will is a black hole. "The words of the Three Fingers. As your maiden, allow me to divine them. All that there is came from the One Great. Then came fractures, and births, and souls. But the Greater Will made a mistake. Torment, despair, affliction... every sin, every curse. Every one, born of the mistake. And so, what was borrowed must be returned. Melt it all away, with the yellow chaos flame. Until all is One again. No more fractures...no more birth..." from this Hyetta dialogue (All that there is came from the One Great) you can make some sort of argument that the One Great could be the big bang.
That's cool I didn't really notice it!! But I think the greater will is an entity and the big bang is an event, so maybe it was the greater will that caused it, you know something like the Old One in Demon's Spuls is like god, and souls and soul arts and Demons came from it and now it wants to get them back. So maybe the Greater Will wants things back, maybe Marika caught on to this and that's why she removed death and was punished by the Elden Beast for it, and maybe the Erdtree is something like a portal or Space Elevator that sends the souls of the dead to the Greater Will to consume!?! It's always been weird to me how everyone thinks the Erdtree is special but then we discover at the end of the game that there are countless Erdtrees so maybe the Greater Will is doing this to diff worlds as well? We already know that the Erdtree is a parasite. This is unhinged speculation but maaaaybe!?
ymir talk about how everything was created in a blast of energy or something (the big bang). i do like the thoery on the greater will being a black hole, with a lot of cosmic themes and it being far away but never seeming to actually come here maybe the centre of the games galaxy? i was thinking the the one great would just be the universe, creation? or using my previous thought the galaxy. all just spit balls though
I just noticed that King Jeremiah from Dark Souls might also be a King In Yellow. So maybe he was the original Yellow King that Miyazaki made and like always he expanded on it in later games like Elden Ring.
The reference to the King in Yellow is true, and it's not the first time Miyazaki does this. But saying that Midra is just a reference to Hastur does him a great disservice! What was borrowed from the King in Yellow is mostly aesthetics and some of the location. Midra is a tragedy of a sage who tried to understand Frenzied flame and stop it, but eventually succumbed to it. He was pierced by a sword that tears him from inside and endured the pain for unimaginable time to NOT become the Lord of Frenzied flame. And he succeeded, up until Tarnished came. As for the Frenzied Flame, I don't think it's just chaos. I want to look more into its symbolism. It is said to be a kind of impartial power that can melt away all the suffering and pain in the world, along with joy. It is said to be able to melt spirits, thus, stopping undeath and the circle of rebirth. I'm leaning more towards Frenzied Flame being a twisted Evangelion-ending-like kind of unity of all the living beings rather than chaos. And madness, madness occurs because there's no mind able to comprehend this kind of unity, no living creature having mental capability to weild this unstoppable force (which is also a reference to Lovecraft).
We can pick up the sounds of things through space, you can look up right now the sounds of different stars and entities in our universe at least what we can consider sound from them from so far away
@@YismirGoldFingers i known that but Black holes are really really far away and usualy(the ones we known are there because their acretion discs) are surrounded by so much clutter and roaring stars that i doubt we could parse that sound so clearly...
@giovaniconte1860 exactly, that's why it doesn't sound clear at all and it sounds scary af. Also, this is not a one for one creation. Check this video for more info ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_tXhBLg3Wng.htmlsi=ctvr1uXsdCpOC_z4
