Oddworld: The Story Of Molluck The Glukkon 

I could totally see Molluck being a main character in Munch's Oddysee, reluctantly helping the heroes get moolah as he would also have the cartel after him

And seeing his actions in Soulstorm, he might be the first Glukkon to begin to realise the flaw with that way of doing things. **Spoilers below** He seems to have become less cruel to his minions after being humbled at Rupture Farms, understanding that it is more beneficial in the long run to be a strict boss that the employees still want to work for than one they hate or fear even being near. Shown right before the Slig coup, he basically agreed to a deal that effectively means that he will sacrifice a bit more of his profits to keep his new Slig entourage happy and as loyal as Sligs go...and the ending news article suggests he upheld it, too. His Slig wingman seemed to almost consider him a friend, or as close as you can get for two people from different, notoriously self-interested sapient species.

"Molluk the Glukkon" makes sense because Abe is not a Glukkon. We wouldn't call our Boss, Dan the Human, because we are ALL human, and it wouldn't make sense. But you would call your pet, Jojo the Monkey, or Polly the Parrot. Because its a different species.

I love that people still love Oddworld

If molluck was pissed when abe freed the muds and destroyed rupturefarms and damn near killed him. HOLY SHIT he's gonna wanna tear abe to more than shreds!

It would be kinda cool if Molluck got torn all the way down and in his fall discovered the long lost spiritual history of the Glukkons. Do THEY even remember who they once were or have they been gradually brainwashed over the years to forget who they once were?

This is the story of Glukkon named Mollock. Mullock worked for a company in a big building where he was the Big Cheese. His job was simple:he sat as the leader of the board, guiding Rupture Farms and ordering everyone below him.

You'd think that Mullock's plan to turn his entire workforce into food is a bad business practice, even for a species as amoral and cruel as the Glukkons... ...But it makes perfect sense when they have been shown to ONLY care about immediate profits. With no mind for long term financial stability. They only worry about the returns on THAT financial quarter, the next? That's a problem for that quarter to worry about. Mullock isn't considering what will happen when he's run out of slaves to turn into food...Like they had no plans to keep Paramite, Scrab, or Meech numbers sustainable. Glukkons are unchecked capitalism. They strip their immediate resources dry, then move on to the next. Rinse and repeat. No more Scrabs, Paramites, or Mudokons? Retire those old products! It's a new product opportunity!

Hah you were correct about Molluck. Especially with his current line of involvement in the modern latest version of the game, let alone how small down the power pyramid he really was. I noticed you might have not finished the game as of this moment so that's all I'm gonna say hah. Love the genuine love both the fans and the devs given to this universe. Here's hoping the series will be a complete quintuple this time holy crap!

Let's not forget Lulu as well he was pretty cool

man i wanna see the follow up to soulstorm so bad, the story of these games and the world building is always sublime even in the weaker titles

I'd say the investors don't care about health inspections is because the world is a tongue and cheek view on capitalism. No need for quality control, just keep producing, selling and comsuming

Just wanna say nice edit in the thumbnail. Molluck looks really badass in the original suit with his new look.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to Molluck The Glukkon in Oddworld: Soulstorm. There are some theories that he'll turn against the Magog Cartel, other theories that he'll be put in charge and an even bigger Rupture Farms. We'll just have to wait and find out in Oddworld: Soulstorm. :)

a tragic event in gaming history indeed

I love that they kept mullocks design in soulstorm so much closer to his older design both on looks and voice, especially the single glowing good eye

That would be such a twist, if Molluck joined Abe's side in Soulstorm 👀 I reckon if he does, he will stab Abe in the back somehow. In an attempt to try and win favour again from the Glukkons 😧

💯 favorite Oddworld analysts/theorist

That's so interesting, Abe may hate him, but he still think Molluck is cool. Molluck was not expecting a thunder strike at it after he planned everything for Abe to get booby trapped. I feel we would rescue him and he could plan what would happen next, maybe explain a way how to destroy Soulstorm brewery and other possible locations like FeeCO Depot and Boneworkz also. There is a significant chance Molluck would meet up with a trustable slig that is likely the Albino slig. Here's my fanmade story how it would work between the slig and the glukkon They both disguise around the three locations which is FeeCo Depot, Soulstorm Brewery, and Boneworkz to do some mini side missions by disrupting the energy, or maybe we might do the same thing just like "mind controlling" the other Glukkon executives but Abe isn't in control. And since Vykker's lab has a good chance to return. It would be most likely the doctor glukkon would be involved of it, Idk if we're going to control Abe or Molluck and the albino slig.

Great video as always, your editing becomes better every video. There's just a few things I'd like to mention for completeness' sake: Perhaps you could've also explained his origin too. That he's the favorite son of Margaret and was a "Flub Fuel Fills" Station manager before he tricked and backstabbed his way to the top. Also how he is said to have "boyish good charms" and a few words about his Vault (which we know is canon as it appeared in New 'n' Tasty). Finally there is also the notion of why it's such a big deal that he messed up: Because as I said he's the favorite son of the queen and his screwup means that the Investors will take someone's head and as much as Maggie likes Molluck, that head will be his, rather than her.

So happy that there are still people playing oddworld! Your videos helped me understand the oddworld a little better since i have only played munchs oddyssee. Love your videos

I jus found your channel, but it's so good! I'd love to see more theories and lore videos!

Unsure what'll happen with Mullock, nobody except Lorne is sure what will happen But what we are sure of, is when Abe leaves a mean place like that. It blows up

I remember about something I written in your video "Oddworld : Slig Barracks" : "I think Molluck can replace Dripik. Or perhaps he will be in charge of the new RuptureFarms. In the Soulstorm ARG, they said "RuptureFarms1029 will rise from the ashes. we will rebuild it bigger, better and more profitable than before. it will be the greatest, most efficient factory that Oddworld has ever seen. it will be a towering symbol of Glukkon strength that cannot be ignored. one terrorist will not deter us.". Maybe Lady Margaret will give a chance to Molluck..." "What if Molluck will be in charge of Slig Barracks in Soulstorm ? I know it's weird, but we know there will be 4 Glukkons in Soulstorm, or should I say IMPORTANTS Glukkons :the Brewmaster in charge of Soulstorm Brewery, the one in charge of Comet Depot, an another in charge of Necrum Mines. But what about Molluck ? Maybe Lady Margaret will forgive him after his defeat in RuptureFarms and will become the "General" instead of Dripik ? What do you think ?" There are a lot of possibilities. But I don't think Molluck can be a good guy. He's too evil for that, and he's got a lot of pride.

Molluck Has To Be The Best Oddworld Antagonist Villain :D

Uneasy ally at best. I don't see him 'going good'; the best I see for Molluk is seeing how the wind is blowing, and making a decision to side with Abe and crew out of self preservation.

I see a pupbenny oddworld video, I automatically hit like

I love your oddworld videos.

Honestly I see him becoming an anti hero, it be like frieza and goku in tournament of power of arc, where Mulluk wouldn’t be helping Abe out of kind of his heart or some redemption, he just be helping to save his own skin from the other Glukkons

Lore And voices like this one are a good combo. Great to sleep to. After Oddworld lore Is exhausted, Will there be some other lore?

Nothing to do with the video but damnnnn! I want to see the face behind the voice my dude! :)

Molluck in Soul Storm has such a story arc 👽

Here's hoping Soulstorm manages to release this year

cool video pup, i have a feeling mullock will be used by proxy to influence the elite magog cartel and distract them while abe does the hero thing.. but lorne has said theres multiple paths in this game... so thats probably one out of like 3 or 4.

Loving the theories soulstorm cant come quick enougth :(

"Mollucks Oddysee". xD Dude... That would be sick playing as a glukkon. xD

Pupbenny: "sort of like saying Dan the man" All the Dan the man fan: 👀

"If he ever comes back" interesting. Was he in Exoddus? I don't think so. Good on soulstorm to bring it back.

What is name of soundtrack at beggining? Was it Necrum?

The idea of Molluck’s oddyssey Appels to me some how like he gone full circle and now is helping those who he wronged in the past And if they make exodus I want it to be about how he is trying to reform Oddworld society

I'd almost love to see him gain his own form of spiritual awakening, forcing him to turn to dark rites, at first to kill Abe, then to annihilate his rivals.

At the beginning it sounds like you said mark the glukkon

I always thought Molluck was supposed to sound like mollusk

You should’ve taken more content from the Abe’s Origins artbook.

If munched odyssey came out on ps2 people would still have bitched over the memory cards, or the lack of power, or the levels looking flat,etc. My point is nothing is perfect and people will complain about anything friend. Cool video Benny

You'd think a society of people with no arms would have automatic doors 😆

One of the first games I ever played. Had I known Molluck was designed after Moloch I might've looked at it differently. It pisses me off that The Gods use video-games to mess with people.

I Kinda wonder why mullck in the new game has red/amber coloured eyes, but the rest of the glokks got more realistic eyes.

That guy came from that big ol lady? Do the males have arms? I have so many questions.

Noice.

i didnt like how they treat mullock in this game they changed him from smart, brooding and terrifying overlord of the first game, to comic releif side character of the recent game. hell id go so far as to say the entire new game doesnt feel like an abe game at all

Molluck the Glukkon Jabba the Hutt Nuff said

This dude talking about the mob so casually on RU-vid like he can't be touched or something You better watch your back or you going to get a zoggin

Is oddworld soulstorm a remake of exodus ?¿

i don't like the new redesign the original glowing eyes were far more intimidating

Molluck" relax..I have a plan...we will use maldonkens for a our products of meat" slig"huh...what...but...sir...if we do that...who going to work the farm.....this place is huge you know" Mullock".........ohhh dammit" cartel members "your an idiot"

Love the qui gonn cute, nothing better than oddworld and the star wars prequels.

could also just be that "the glukkon" title is the human equivalent of "the man" cause fun fact in english anyway man means human hence why man and woman have it

GRAET VID XD |

2:16 - 250 That's a long-ass sentence

Why the hell has Odds World not being made into cartoon's or Movies? It would help out a lot for people like me who doesn't know very much about the new games and somethings that I don't know in general about it like you do, because you seem to know a lot about Odds World and it would also be very interceding to see as a show as long as it looks as good as the game does? Not in CGI or live action, it would be very ugly and crap if they do! It needs to look as good as the game does and have the story ack too of the game so people can really in joy it

Hello

What is oddworld society outside of the Magog cartel and the vyker conglomerate? Is there a society with a law code that they have to adhere to, are there nation states made up of the various races, are they like organized crime mixed with big buisness, or are they the closest thing to governments that oddworld has?

Exoddus is king

You say it's a shame that the game got moved from PlayStation to Xbox I say it's a shame that a game is locked behind a single console itself. PlayStation nowadays might have generally some nice artsy style games and some good story games like The Last of Us but I think in the long run Xbox in Microsoft made the smartest decision to go cross-platform with PC even to the point of allowing most of their games to be played on a PC through an Xbox storefront / app Andy to Heather console is Bill is much easier more accessible to modding games based on the relatively High quantity of mods that can be transferred from Fallout 4 PC edition over to the Xbox console. Honestly if it wasn't for this Bitcoin mining stuff I guarantee you more people would be building PCS right now but a graphics card that I bought for about $350 which made up about little over a third of my PC's budget at the time is now being sold for four times that. Crypto mining's unfortunately raise the cost of gpus/graphics cards exponentially and I doubt they will ever come back down and that's such a shame. It's actually one of the reasons why my next PC build I'm going full AMD even though their graphics cards aren't quite as powerful as an until they're close enough for a fraction of the price and their processors are statistically better and their motherboards seemed to have long compatibility Cycles with their processors compared to Intel and other companies that have cornered the market and hiked up the prices for so damn long

5:12 You do realize the original Xbox was a WAY better console than the PS2 right? Better hardware, potentially better games?
