new thing goin on over here / knuckleheadjunction Also, here's the track for this video / porky-ghost-voltage A short I made. Earthbound / Mother 3 spoilers ahead!
@@leelduttis4086 Honestly I expected porky to have all the party members from earthbound in one of those brainwashing tubes idk just seems like if he took all those artifacts from earthbound for his boat ride museum he would've taken ness paula jeff and poo too, unless he tried and failed to. Might be how he got the friends yoyo, it was all he could get while trying to steal ness from the past.
@@cluckstein626If I remember correctly, Porky was defeated many times by being expelled from many timelines. If he was simply sent to another era or literally banned from timelines, I know not (but probably is the first, as Porky mentally is an immature child unable to accept defeat who escapes or shields himself with any gadget to avoid being beaten up). Following this *THEORY* (remember, it doesn't matter how much sense it has for me or you, it is a mere theory as it is not confirmed), that would explain why he had so many objects of Earthbound but why there are no characters from Earthbound (except Adonuts who, while alone or with Mr Saturns would be an easy prey). Porky TRIED to get them but we only see all he could get/steal

@@edgyninja1910, no, LUIGI is referring to the interview with Itoi where he said Porky would still be alive after 5 billion years, after the sun "went supernova."
I just remembered something sad, pokey traveled through time just to ‘win’ against ness in the most cowardly way, by outliving ness which in pokeys mind was his way of winning. Kind of depressing to think ness is most likely dead.
Seeing Claus getting turned into a robot like that...makes me uneasy and increases my hatred for porky. 4 years later edit: I don't ACTUALLY hate porky. I just dislike him as you should as a villain. As a character his story is tragic and unfair. He deserves everything that comes his way in my opinion. He chose his path willingly and stuck too it even after many losses. He never learned anything except ways to get what he was wants and how to manipulate people. Just an unfortunate series of events happened to him and now he's uh...stuck in a giant pod forever...oh well
Yes,it could of been more darker in mother 3,where porky was shot by the pigmask army in the N64 prototype version,and later into the GBA prototype version,the mech would fall causing him to die,he was bleeding too! I know I'm Knuckles from the Sonic games,but I'm one hell of a smart echidna,trust me!
Really Earthbound has the only characters who left without much loss. They defeated Giygas AND managed to return to their time period, while Porky went on to Mother 3 with his life already ruined to do the same to Lucas and his family.
1:27 Just noticed the "Kill the Pig! Slit Her throat! Bash her in!" from Lord of the Flies right here, automatically making this even more disturbing than it already is for me.
@🦄Dana Miitopia Warioware & Smash Bros Lover UwU💖 oh no, its far worse He doesn't die in there he stays in there for all of eternity, withering away, always alive
Because in the first two stomps, it shows how evil he is to kill one of his own. In the third stomp, he crushes Hinawa’s grave, showing how much he doesn’t care about anybody else. The next few stomps consist of claus being turned into the masked man. The final two stomps are the statue arriving at empire porky.
Earthbound: rated E for everyone Also earthbound: has cults, references to satanism (i think), introduces pokey, who has one if the darkest stories and fates in gaming history, has giygas.
There's a lot of tiny secret messages in this video. The first one is at about 0:37, right in the transition. This says "YOU CANNOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF GIYGAS' ATTACK" In the mess of words after that, there are messages like "it hurts" "i feel good" "BE MY FRIEND, NESS", and "IT'S SO SAD", among other gibberish. At 0:45, during the flash to grayscale, it says "Paula's prayer was absorbed into the darkness." At 0:51, the text "Do you want to scream for help here in the dark?!" flashes across the bottom of the screen. At 0:55, a whole lot of text pops up, surrounding Porky. This includes: "I've gone through time and space so many times I haven't aged like a normal person." "Who knows, I might be 1000 years old, or even 10,000 years old." "But despite that, I'm still the same kid at heart!" "Is that funny?" "It is, isn't it?" "Does it make you laugh?" And finally, "Are you laughing at me?!" before Porky springs to life, finally ending this wall of text at 0:57. That was *two seconds.* The next one is at 1:12, with the infamous quote "...It's name was Claus? That almost sounds like a person's name! But now it's my robot. Not a fragment of life remains in it now..." Though not a message, Giygas' "face" can be seen briefly as the two presses smash together at 1:13. TL;DR Porky is hella messed up, considering almost all of these are quotes from him.
Although yes he said these disturbing things, he was pushed into madness from neglect,loneliness, and abuse and ness's quietness didn't help as when he asked if he could be friends again, he then replied "that's a no huh?" And that's what pushed porky to make his army that he would throw away in the end.
1:11 is so f*cking terrifying. This kid’s life was taken away from him at a young age. Then he’s working for someone worse than Hitler himself. Damn you Porky
All of this isn’t Porky’s fault. He just wants to be a regular kid… he just wants to be Ness’s best friend… but that can’t happen thanks to the Mani Mani Statue.

This game took the piss out of itself to the point where the whole silent protaginist malarky becomes serious. Earthbound is really original in those aspects.
If we take PSI powers to be the kids shouting, "FIRE BALL!" Or, "LIGHTNING BOLT!", Then Porky's final act was to put up an Everything Proof Shield. Which, naturally, is where everyone stops playing with you, because you're no fun at all.
Think about it though: Porky was just an annoying kid and a friend who got turned evil by an alien who was "emotionally abused" Then he went on and got granted immortality (im pretty sure) and took over. He was spoiled and still acted like a child,and ruined the life of a family and others. He basically killed Lucas mom and got rid of his brother. You get him back with trapping him in a capsule that cant open nor be destroyed and keep everyone inside it safe,and trapped for eternity. Hes immortal,and will live forever in a small area with all his thoughts. *kids game*
I Mean,He Being Trapped Alone With His Thoughts is Worse Than Dying, He Can't do Anything He Plans,Time Will Be Meaningless For Him Anyway And Even When Heat Death Happens He Will Still Be There.
And tecnically, he won. His final goal is seeing the end of existence, when anyone who doesn't think like him will be gone. Even if Lucas pulled most of the needles it will eventually happen and Porky knows it.
“Ness, let's be friends again. Please answer me. I promise to be good“... This is very sad because he was serious about that what he said. but because of Ness' quiet behavior he thought Ness doesnt forgive him and the mani mani statue finally controlled his mind... (you can also see that in Mother 2. Pokey said after Ness doesnt respond to him: “I guess thats a no, huh?“)
It's heavily believed that Porky had lost what's left of his innocence for thinking Ness doesn't forgive him and decided to become the villain he later became. Even with the Statue destroyed, Porky was still out causing trouble for the cast

SwiftWaffles I got it, but for me it's kinda illegible. Too blurred even on 720P. Though, the first line looks like it says "My name was Claus." The rest, i don't know.
To me, Porky is the best kind of villain. He's so hate-able, he gives you that feeling of "Oh, you just missed me, you'll see me next time, not!" And never really showing up until the very end, however you know he's responsible for everything. So heartless but, he's also so human. If things had gone differently for him, just a bit differently, maybe he wouldn't see the world the way he does, filled with just people he can hate next. Where as Ness, most people are just, friends waiting to be made. Porkey's was an unfortunate case, and it happens. He one of the realest villains of all time, really.
A child from a shitfaced family is the scariest villain in any game I have ever played. Move aside eldricht abominations, the eater of worlds is literally an eater of worlds.
If you think about it, he defeated himself thinking he won, he's literally trapped, he'll be there forever, till the last star perishes and the las black hole is destroyed and he won't be able to do anything nor even kill himself, this and his entire arc on Mother 2 and 3 shows how much damage Gyigas would have been able to make in a larger scale only by it's mere influence
@@trinawoods1017I dont think he would ever stop thinking or lose his mind, if hes immortal, he should be able to regen almost every function of his body
I'm legitimately not kidding when I say that this was incredible, and the producers of that short should be very proud. I'm ecstatic that this was granted to the MOTHER fanbase. It breaks my heart that so many people don't know or really want to care to know about this franchise.
The mother series is probably one of the most underrated series out there and that is kind of sad. At least ness being in super smash bros got it more known.
That is true, though it makes me really sad that people respond with "Ness? From Smash Bros?" instead of wanting to know what he's from and delving deeper in and finding the beautiful franchise he's from.
Barnes Bonne I played earthbound on the SNES and I loved it but when I ask my friends if they have ever played it they usually respond like "Mother? That sounds like a dumb game." It is truly sad
Barnes Bonne Right? I actually played earthbound for the first time last month, The uncensored one at that. Currently on chapter 7 of mother 3. Im officially a fan and this video inspires me
I agree to that Porky is not only the best villain but also the most powerful villain there is he has more power than any other fictional character out there
A kid in over his head controls a monster to spite the kid he used to consider his friend, and failed. He runs away and goes crazy, and ends up destroying a whole world with an empire. He failed again, and goes completely insane, suffering for all eternity, getting what he wanted. But not what he could've had.
destroying a whole world with his empire? sure porky invaded the nowhere islands and fucked shit up but when lucas pulled the final needle the power of the dark dragon fixed that by destroying what porky had created in that world. except yknow, the absolutely safe capsule, but otherwise, everything's relatively fine, they just gotta rebuild
I don't know if this was intentional or not, but look at the "O" at 1:21. The windows of the building behind it makes it look like a pig nose! Perfectly fitting for a Porky video!
Porky Minch, the greatest villain and the most traitorous douchebag of all time. I couldn't decide if I like him or hate him, but his badass moustache from Mother 3 has decided for me.
***** Keep a look out for the fan-made Mother 4 coming out this year. Looks very faithful and promising! I wouldn't be surprised if we get a glimpse of Porky in this game. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--fNbJIl_Mkg.html
2 things pissed me off : 1. The statue of Porky crushing Hinawa's grave 2. And the fact he turned Claus into a cyborg. But that shows how cruel he really is. I'm suprised.. really suprised.
@@scrungliestbungus8134 Sorry to break it to you, it reveals that in Chapter 1 Hinawa has died, and in Chapter 8 Claus has no anymore life fragments left in him, meaning he's no longer a human now but a cyborg.
There are several pieces of text that literally last one frame, and I'm going to type all that I can find. 0:38 You cannot grasp the true from of Giygas' attack. Also all sorts of crap that Giygas said during the battle. 0:45 Paula's prayer was absorbed by the darkness. 0:50 Do you want to scream for help here in the dark?! 0:57 I've gone through time and space so many times I haven't aged like a normal person. Who knows, I might be 1000 years old, or even 10,000 years old. But despite that, I'm still the same kid at heart! Is that funny? It is, isn't it? Does it make you laugh? Are you laughing at me?! 1:13 It's name was Claus? That almost sounds like a person's name. But now it's my robot. Not even a fragment of life remains inside it... All other dialogue should be self-explanatory and easy to read unless if I missed any one frame things going through tapping the frame forward button over and over again.
Porky is a very interesting character, and shows the heavy shift in Earthbound. Quite literally being the "I think I skipped too far" joke. Show someone who has never seen Earthbound Porky from Mother 3, and show them Porky at the beginning of Earthbound. They won't believe it's the same character.
Really love how as we pan away from the Absolutely Safe Capsule we can hear the chants of children which, if you listen closely, are actually from the movie adaptation of "Lord of the Flies," another tale of how terrible circumstances morph normal children into twisted killers. Not only that, but the chant consists of cries calling for the murder of a pig/beast (depending on where you see it in the book), which could be understood as coming from both the perspective of Porky and his enemies. Really great animation that still holds up.
***** Victim, but also a masterpiece. His creation got so out of hand he set the events that ended the world in motion, and heaven knows what he did in the other time zones that the timeline itself ejected him out.
Ya it is kind of sad that he is trapped in there, doomed to forever be alone but it is exactly what he wanted; a device which be absolutely safe no matter what from forces from the outside or inside. He will be in that capsule for eternity and since he never really will die due to age or lack of food because he never needs to eat he will just be stuck there to think about what he's done and what situation he is in now. As some others have mentioned because he traveled through time so much and destroying things at each place he visited he ended getting locked out of all time periods and got stuck in the time when mother 3 takes place. Though the evil influence he was subjected to by giygas was only because he ended up with a weak heart and will because of all the harassment his parents did to him, he started of as that kind of annoying friend who you kind of find obnoxious but he is still a kind of good person but after that he started rolling down hill from that exposure to the evil energy.
I like the little detail that Porky sees Giygas in the reflection of the glass near the end. It seems symbolic, as if it's really saying "I really AM the monster now, aren't I?" Porky has become the embodiment of evil that plagues their world. I don't know if you even meant for it to be read into that way, but that's how I interpret it :P
Porky is actually a truer monster than Giygas, just to prove that humans are incapable of learning their mistakes. As Giygas is the symbolic embodiment of evil (which it is a understatement as Giygas has lost his mind and unaware of his actions), Porky ended up being the physical embodiment since he manage to turn the pure peaceful people of Tazmilly into the same as us flawed humans (he even called out on them for making themselves forget the past to live peacefully) for absoutely no reason other than just to screw with what remained of humanity for his own entertainment.
Porky has totally broken the evil/wicked scale practically as bad as The Joker...he caused pretty serious things to happen. Including several deaths. And who knows who or what happened in between Mother 3...The most underated villian is the most Evilest Villian of all time.
Maybe the implication is that Porky IS Giygas. And the events of Mother 3 sealed him into that capsule, and due to Einsteinistic theories related to faster-than-light travel and the space-time continuum, he ended up way back in the past.
After the end of the world. All that is left is Porky and the Dragon which some believe that it could actually be just Gyigas being imprisoned by the needles and becomes now free to destroy the world.
I fucking love this video because it's what got me into the Mother series (I did like it and I knew bits and pieces of it but this video is what made me a huge fan of the series)
i think this goes along with the Pollyanna fan animation really well, Pollyanna showing the lighthearted side of the story, Ness’s side, while this shows Porky’s side, evil, corrupt, irredeemable, it’s really awesome
1:30 I swear to Christ I heard "kill the pig! Slit her throat! Bash her in!" from the original Lord of the Flies Movie in the background. Antone else hear it?
Gyigas was always evil before porky was born he was gonna destroy earth until he was stopped by ninten and his friends and corpceted himself so he won't feel emotions and influenced people of being evil before porky decided to work for him
oreki houtarou Youre wrong Giygas wasnt evil in at all, in fact, he was sad he was forced to attack earth as he didnt want to betray maria (his humanoid adoptive mother) yet he forced himselt to because of his own species, the thing that stopped him was the lullaby that jinter and co singed to giygas, it reminded him of maria and filled him with guilt, and have retreated Giygas hate and guilt became so powerful it destroyed his own mind and body, to the point he wssnt "evil" himself but became the defination of "evil" (considering his mind is not intact outside the devils machine, he dont even realize he is doing evil things hence making him "evil" itself) The prayers managed to destroy him due to the same human emotions he had for maria when ninten sang the lullaby Giygas didnt become evil, he *is* the evil power (like pokey said) Which is why the human emotions defeated him
Jeez this animation is so god damn good. The part where porky steps on hinawa’s grave and the scene where Claus turns into the masked man sent chills down my spine
Something to think about: In both versions, but the Japanese especially, Pokey is extremely desperate for Ness' friendship, but Ness doesn't forgive him after Happy Happy Villiage (in the Japanese version Pokey doesn't say he was kidding about still being friends, and says something to the lines of "We're still friends. Right? Right?" Meaning, TECHNICALLY Mother 3 is Ness' fault, though there was no way he could have known that.
Princess Sakura Chan do not remember the ending Mother 2?"come and get me loser",he challenge Ness to find it,his real mistake was not looking Pokey...
@@TroleosJuan not even "technically", ness isn't a bad person full stop. absolutely insane victim blaming at play whenever people blame NESS for porky turning out the way he did
Sea Pupper I just realized the line was from the book, but reading it, you know the context of the phrase, and what happens in the story. I feel uneasy every time I hear or see it.
They're actually saying "KILL. THE. PIG!" Followed by a quick echo of other kids screaming "Kill The Pig!", which then repeats. This is very fitting as Lord of The Flies, the book where this line is from, uses pigs (well, sows and piglets, actually) as symbols of innocence and life. I believe that by making Pokey "Porky", Itoi tapped into this symbol and used it to represent how Porky, considered one of the worst villains in Nintendo history wants his innocence back. It's actually this innocence that drove him to be the Porky we all hate: his desire to be loved and to have friends, was corrupted into a lust/necessity for EVERYONE to love him, and he would do anything to achieve that: whether it be torture, murder, inhumane experiments, resetting the whole world, even. Anything just to be loved. To have a second chance. To be with Ness again. To have different parents who wouldn't abuse him. He needs love and affection just like an innocent child. He's been through so much shit to the point where its like he never had an innocence. His only friend was taken away from him and it wasn't even his fault or Ness'. Yet he still cherishes the ideas of friendship and love just like a child. (The theater and "Friend's Yoyo" are proof of this) Porky is evil as a result of the evil around him. Were it for different circumstances, he never would've committed the atrocities he committed. Something that holds true for many villains, even in human history.
Same here mate, same here, I remember nights later I had this nightmare with a bunch of monitors in a black void with purple cubes spinning in the background, they where noodly lit but in the center one was porky smiling and twitch around like in the FNAF 1 title screen on the top left one was Claus' white eyes and lifeless expression I think new pork city was in either the bottom one or the one on the top right and hinawas grave was bottom left. This dream still is a crazy thought that sticks with me years later.
XelchanTheBrave I personally thought Mondo Mole resembled a fetus to symbolize his inability to truly let go of his inner childhood, and the fact that he still hasn't moved on from Maria. Err... I mean... NO HE IS FEETIS AND ABORSHIN.
***** Why don't people believe Giygas was made to look like a Fetus? Itoi himself said he intended that because of one of his experiences as a child... -.-
The letters in Porky shows what Porky did. P: Porky creates the pigmask army. O: earthbound logo. (Duh) R: Porky escapes to another era using the phase distorter. K: Porky partners up with gygas. Y: Porky's slingshot, representing being friends/enemies with ness. Sorry if I got anything wrong.
I love this video it sums up Pokey perfectly. Pokey had a number of chances to change, to reflect on his actions whenever beaten but would always run away to find another opportunity to shift the odds in his favor so he wouldn't have to, and ironically his final attempt to escape the consequences of his actions was what cost him everything in the end, including his own freedom.

@@TheRealSuperKirbyPollyana tribute is beautiful, but i personally prefer this video, because of the 3d models, music and also the way it represents Porky, it's so well done.
This is so sad. Honestly it scares me a little. I miss Claus. He was such a great kid. And the only reason Porky used a Claus is because he knew that Lucas was strong and he knew Lucas would not hurt his brother so he did that so Claus would pull the needles easy. But at the end he knew who he was but he knew that he was not in full control of his body. When he saw Lucas's lightning badge he cast the lightning purposely and commit suicide. He knew if he didn't his robot body would pull the needle and end the world. He did it on purpose. So sad. :'(
@@KewlKev1 no its the chant where Jack is off in his own tribe before Simon dies. Where Jack thinks he's the beast and they decide to take it out. Only it wasn't. It's sampled from the original film.
Porky, aka, an immortal 11 year old kid that on the outside is 100,000 years old, creates an army of chubby people in pig suits, turns an innocent 10 year old into a ruthless, unfeeling cyborg, treats animals like toys, and sees time like nothing more than putty, easily changable, and sees people as no more than tools, and is responsible for the saddest death in gaming history, a broken father-son relationship, and this is all because his parents were verbal (and possibly physically abusive) with him and a creepy red alien swirl made him his right hand man, it’s complicated in the world of Earthbound and Mother 3.
I'm not sure which one is worse, Eric Cartman fed a kid his own parents, but Porky took a kids relative and made him his slave because he knew he wouldn't fight him
This is an amazing animation. I mean, your interpretation of Giygas is actually fairly creepy, the entire video feels rather unnerving, with a sense of no hope. The Porky Statue's scene reminds me of Viewtiful Joe for some reason, but it's my favorite part. Claus, Hinawa, it's all touching. But, it's a shame we probably won't see another game featuring Porky. Unless Smash Bros. welcomes him in.
True, but in a perfect world, Porky in his spidery EarthBound mech would be a newcomer. In all honesty, most of the Nintendo-based bosses (Ridley, Porky, Rayquaza and Petey) in SSE could all be unique characters, but Ridley's the likeliest out of the bunch. A shame, really. I just want another Mother character, whether it be Porky or Masked Man.
Aidan Ceszynski why is Ridley not in smash sure he appears in every smash game yes even smash64 but still he should be playable also I think we need more villains but there is two problems first HE IS TO BIG and second of all he wouldn't be able to fly around forever also we might get another meta knight situation
The fact that the animation of the red flashes behind claus is suppost to reference a battle sprite that was left unused is amazing, just astounding level of detail
Imagine Claus still being alive when Porky turns him? I thought of having a character be forced into Claus's position and transformed while still alive.
I feel like I'm the only one who got the part where you hear "Kill the Pig, Slit her throat, bash her in" It's from The Lord of the Flies movie right? read the book and watched the movie last year during my sophomore year and I can't believe I heard this chant in an Earthbound animation
indeed it is, I made the same comment I thought on here but I think on his soundcloud page, NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE LORD OF THE FLIES AUDIO CLIPS USED IN THIS AND IT UPSETS ME.
so that's what they're saying. lol i've heard it so many times and still had no ides it was from there. partly because I haven't read or seen lord of the flies
OJorgeO when you finished LOTF you never unhear those words also does piggy sorta remind you of porky like an evil piggy I mean they have alot in common
I just realized that Porky probably made the pigmasks like Nazis because he was probably learning about it in school during Mother 2/Earthbound, which adds more to his childlike nature. The pigmasks are probably how he imagined the nazis.
This animation made me respect Porky more as a villain. Mother is my favorite game hands down but before this I found him to be underwhelming. He's basically the giygas anti-christ. haha
Both of them are villains who lost their minds over the guilt they had for not protecting their mothers. also pokey tries to control both of them for his own personal benefit
Bogey Machine it’s not gonna be Bandana Dee and here’s why: he already has a spirit in World Of Light. However, Porky doesn’t. So yeah, maybe he survived Galeem in his capsule and will appear in the future as a DLC fighter. #Hype
