As someone who watches the minus one movie, YOU SHOULD 100% WATCH IT. It is compelling, it is scary, it is heartbreaking. It is everything I wanted to do in this series. And also thank you very much, Matthew, for reacting to the series again. Thank you for everything. ❤ Also, the audio from depiction of growth IS the description LOL I had a laugh watching this, thank you ❤❤❤
I know it's such a small thing but that transition at around 6:41 was so cool. Really well timed and great job on matching up the shots. Just speaks volumes of the skills of the editors.
Honestly I loved watching this process where hes using Audacity, its obviously nothing compared to his full theorymaking process but just seeing this style of stuff is awesome
Recommendation It’ll take a while, but I’d love to see mat do some theories on the lore of warframe. The warframe community could really use some help with the man in the wall, and now would be the perfect time with the new update dropping!
I ABSOLUTELY think you would love Godzilla minus one, in fact as a long time fan I’m sure you could make a theory or two about it! If that happens I’m here first!!
i think this analog horror series is gaining traction a good point in time. it's reminding everyone about how horrid and saddening genocide is, at a time where Palestine is facing mass genocide left and right. It's shining a light on the atrocity that is genocide and showing that it's really never acceptable, all coming at a time where it may need to be heard the most.
I remember playing Devilish Hairdresser when I was little, and as someone really good at the kind of gameplay it presents, it was legitimately difficult for me. My poor child brain couldn't recognize the tells of Angel about to focus on the client again. 😅 I'm actually really surprised it survived the Adobe Flash extermination. 😮
22:44 I here watashi wa (I am) and something else then Ore tachi wa (We are) something else and something I noticed is that he says it repeatedly it is a plausible Oppenheimer quote.
I highly recommend you guys watch Godzilla Minus One! A great film overall that’s on par with the original and Shin Godzilla. Might even warrant a devoted Film Theory episode 👀
The audio immediately gave me some 2nd Kira's tapes vibe. Also I thought I heard Watashi wa Kiradesu (Japanise for I am Kira) PS: I don't know Japanese I was just curious how do you say "I am Kira", so when I heard the thing I immediately thought of that.
Honestly, I don't think Americans need to feel too guilty about bombing Imperial Japan. I mean, they did attack Pearl Harbor first. Additionally, they did the exact same thing as the Nazis were doing except all over Asia so...
man Mat and Ash sure do work hard sure is a shame the youtube comment section works harder hard enough that the creator decides to do some translations in the video in all seriousness though, i love the dramatic and excessive research they put into these videos, even when they end up being provided with the answers loll i only realized after i posted this comment that the main section of the live theorizing is titled "they're smart i promise" 😂
I love how MatPat manages to do his Godzilla imitation with the most shameless look ever. It's probably going to become another inside joke for the theorist channels.
he could do small reactions like "huh I's have to check that again"@@poke-talia268 and once more it is fair use if we go by the SSSniperwolf legality up to this point.... although I guess he will have to have a large breasted co-host then... or implants? XD
With the idea of "Theres no stopping in his mutation." It kinda reminds me of Shin Godzilla where he is constantly mutating till Hideaki Anno himself stated that "Godzilla can turn into a planetary hivemind".
This series honestly feels like an unintended attack on MatPat. He analyzes everything only for it to be revealed seconds later. Keep on analyzing MatPat.
@@SpringlocksCasuallyGoingOff yeah, this series makes it easy and accessible by everyone to enjoy unlike other series like this that hide things in translation or in the dark
I took the "we have the light" bit literal. I thought they were saying that Godzilla destroyed the light in his cell, but the higher ups were like "eh here's a flash light"
Something I truly love about this series is its humanisation of its titular monster. It's not just a suit, there's a man in there, and it shows. There's a motivation, a central conflict, and a set of characteristics that dictates what it does. There are very few monsters in these types of shows and movies that has such characterisation, and that's what makes it special. Cool series! Edit: The demonstration of the company's dehumanisation of the character is equally compelling. As opposed to the story that we are being told, the company treats the man in the suit like an animal, which in itself is a self-fulfilling prophecy, as it only leads him further down the path of beasthood. I find this whole series so interesting.
What makes this series really funny to me is knowing that the original Gojira suit was made of melted tire rubber and bamboo, weighed almost twice the actor inside, and was so hot to film in under the studio lights that it would have to be drained of sweat after each scene. Not a thing you'd want to merge with, but I can see how anyone inside might feel like they were!
@@wer-hat-es-gedacht I was gonna comment this, I don’t know much Japanese but I know watashi wa means “I am” so I feel like this is dialogue coming from the man in the suit. I just wish it was easier to hear the rest of the dialogue to tell exactly what was said Edit I just got to the part where they said it was the dialogue in the description haha 😅
And he’s learnt a bit of Japanese before too lol I recognised the watashi wa and the -masu but asking me to translate it from that audio (I basically don’t know Japanese) would have been tough xd
Matpat making a metaphors of the breaking the light thing is the equivalent of the “The Door is Red” English teacher thing. It was just a bad translation. He broke the light, leaving the room in darkness like he likes it. Night vision got reduced to Light. I don’t think it’s metaphorical since they’re not even trying to change him back. They’re just trying to see how he functions like training an animal to follow sound commands
I cannot overstate how happy I am that you guys are making clothes that aren't "merch." I've always wanted more unique pieces and most retailers just never delivered. They would either be too "professional" and boring, or way too "party" and not wearable in most scenarios. I would love for you guys to add pockets, secret compartments/messages to these too! Like imagine a holographic inside to the ski suit
I would actually say the transformation process seems more like a butterfly, since butterflies dissolve their entire body inside the cocoon before it gets rearranged into the butterfly.
Godzilla Minus One was just amazing. The subtitles leave a little to be desired [I do speak fluent Japanese] but they get the gist across! The visuals and the people are honestly engaging, and the design of this Godzilla is great too, I really loved every moment of it.
I laughed every time they called a very obviously piston engined fighter a "Jet Fighter" especially since this story took place years before that became colloquial in the 50s
The Man In The Suit kind of reminds me of Shin Godzilla, being a monster who is evolving faster than it can handle, and at the end of is still a creature going on instinct. The Man In The Suit kind of feels like the human version of this, where he's still human, but rapidly evolving with no end.
Finally somebody was thinking the same thing I was getting that vibe That movie was pretty messed up when I saw it first time..but now I'm an adult I kinda got the message of why it was the case
Matpat, if you really want to recreate Godzilla's roar, get yourself these things--a double bass and a leather glove coated in pine resin, and then glove your hand with the glove and rub the strings of the double bass up and down with it. That is how Toho created Goji's iconic roar.
The original Godzilla (1954-2004) suits were made with rubber, concrete, metallic alloys to make the suit look realistic and the suit was over 100 lds or less and the suit got really hot fast, so recording it took a while to do. And the original Godzilla footage of him moving was speed up to make him look like we was walking (when in reality it was extremely difficult to move in the suit. When TOHO first made their movie.)
the audio theyre trying to denoise is definitely japanese, he starts out by saing what sounds like " watashi wa kaibutsu arimasen" which means "i am not a monster" there is more, but i cannot hear more
I think we don’t recognize enough just how passionate Mat is about their merch and apparel. Like yes it’s his job to convince us to buy it, but so many creators don’t seem to care nearly as much about the things they make and sell as he does. It’s just really cool to see that the same passion he brings to content goes into everything else. It’s one of the reasons I’ve continued to stick with the Theorist content over the years even though I’m just a casual viewer who often lacks the smarts for the hardcore theory stuff 😅 ❤❤❤❤
As a person who isn’t really knowledgeable in the Godzilla franchise, I REALLY enjoyed the new Godzilla movie for its engaging and sympathetic characters. I encourage those who haven’t seen the movie yet to go watch it, honestly worth it
suppose they could talk about whatever the virus/mutagen is that made goji and the other current "monsters"/victims also the fact he used stomach acid as a makeshift atomic breath. that was so corrosive it caused a crater. (drugs and radiation DOES NOT DO THAT)
Godzilla minus one was an absolute work of art, it's a war movie repackaged as a Godzilla movie and explores the tragedy of it. The movie does a good job at making you feel helpless and small, like the original Japan movies it lays into the horror aspect rather than the "badass giant lizard spots out light rays" (which don't get me wrong, I love as well.) But it really pays homage to the destruction and fear he was originally meant to portray. Memorable, likable characters that you get invested in My only complaint would maybe be, ironically, the lack of Godzilla. Would've loved to see more of him but the human story makes up for it 9.5/10
Here’s my theory after watching all of this. At the beginning the man in the suit specifically chose to apply as the actor for Godzilla because of the overall message of the movie about radiation, then the incident happened because of the pill and TOHO decided to keep him. After figuring out what to do next after the instant boom of the movie, TOHO decided to make more films with Gojira in turn making more monsters/suits to fight him. After the Anguirus incident, TOHO was semi aware about Gojira’s possible infective blood bite (what happened to Anguirus) , TOHO try and contain him. And for Gojira’s behavior, he’s always more cooperative when there’s another “suit” on the set shown in the Mothra incident, once he figured out that Mothra was a puppet he immediately went on a rampage mauled the pupa suit actor to death and infecting her into her mutated chrysalis form, and meanwhile Gojira escaped into the forest and when about to be captured he spat out a stream of his own blood forming a small pool. After all this I think TOHO is trying to make more monsters out of Gojira’s blood back in the 1900s, TOHO started to thrive on the monster movies and Gojira started turning monsters/suits like him as his family (deceased daughter) with his own radioactive blood.
I'm so incredibly happy to see a creator making "merch" with the idea of having something unique that lasts, rather than something with just a logo or phrase or picture on the front of a shirt or hoodie. When I learned that sweater was a part of the merch line I immediately subscribed to emails to know when it dropped, and I had always admired how much thought went into making the clothes, but I was so shocked that that sweater was merch. Mat has always made much more interesting merch clothes than anything else I've seen, and it's so awesome to see how much he and everyone else cares about the quality, as well as being something that stands out. The sweater is so simple yet it looks like something you see in a game or anime that you wish you could have, but any replicas are cheap. The same with the suit, and the jackets I've seen over the years. I don't know why it took me so long, but I know that theory wear is officially one of the only merch lines I'll consistently buy from ✨
In my opinion Godzilla Minus One was a great narrative, a great tribute to OG Godzilla and also just a fun movie with really well picked action scenes. It’s not just basically dumb fun like the American films, it’s a deep story with strong humans and you really REALLY don’t want them to die. It’s just a great modern rendition of Godzilla with amazing CG but finally it’s more of a story where it’s humans against this huge unbeatable beast that breaks things.
I mostly agree with you here, though I kinda disagree with your view on the American films. I don't think the Monsterverse is quite as shallow as people say it is.
Learned something interesting from a series called Design Delve recently talking about how sounds can cause fear. As someone who normally is frightened by horror often I find it hard to engage with them. However, as it turns out a lot of them use low to high range frequencies to illicit a discomfort and then an impact on that discomfort or otherwise. I heard Mat talking about Led Zeppelin and pulled up the song he is referencing (Immigrant Song, for those that don't know) and as it turns out if you play that over the moments where low frequency discomfort is happening it can make you feel way more comfortable as it overrides the discomfort its trying to create for you mentally. TL;DR I play Led Zeppelin now to silence the horror demons and laugh in their faces
This is why I like this Analog horror. It is kinda political and historical, I watched the whole videos so far and instead of being scared I was actually having fun trying to find out everything. And especially watching this analog horror after studying about politics, history and geography it was very interesting for me. And amongst the other analog horrors it stands more realistic in front of my eyes. I want to thank "Unknowingly" for making this beatiful masterpiece.
I think the Japanese in the second video’s description was the man in the Angurius suit, the suit was talking to him, not the man in the suit. I think this because his voice was so frantic, and because it was the description of the second video. I also believe that the man in the suit was already mutated before he got to the studio to film, because the process might be more immediate, like with Angurius. That’s my theory. Can’t wait to see yours!
49:18, that image is unsettling. It’s not just the amount of teeth he has now but how wide he can open his jaw that bothers me. It kind of reminds me of a Tasmanian Tiger opening its mouth. To think a normal human with cheeks could become that seems horribly uncomfortable. Elisa’s talk about the donut stuff reminded me of a Welcome Home comic on Pinterest where Frank talked about a caterpillar turning into sludge in the cocoon and slowly turning into a butterfly. Though in this case, it’s not a butterfly and hopefully it kinda spared his nervous system from feeling the entire process.
@@zoesworldgaming321 Yep, It's because I lived in Japan for the first 6 years of my life. My father is also an avid fan of Godzilla, so he had many Godzilla figures. My personal favorite is Mothra. I just think the larva form is very cute. And Mothra herself is quite a beautiful design. It was apparently also created to appeal to a female audience.
Godzilla Minus One is easily movie of the year for me, and one of the best godzilla movies to date. It feels like a modern rendition of the original. Its also the first Japanese godzilla movie to see widespread viewings in America. I hope to hear Mat's thought on it
He finally learns that he overthinks on alot of things and does work that he doesnt need to! Huzzah! But seriously, this is a really good story Unknowingly is doing. I like it. It kind of reminds me of the Mandela Catalogue too.
I think the reason there's talking in the background during the interview is because the woman is originally talking in Japanese, so someone is translating for her.
Minus One is easily my favorite Godzilla movie and personally my favorite movie ever. I couldn't stop thinking about it after i saw in theaters and I'm going back for another viewing this weekend! I highly recommend watching in theaters while you can.
I am so hyped for more Godzilla , I hope he gets more main channel videos. Keep up the amazing work guys and PLEASE give us Ben 10 for his 19th anniversary.
To clarify a comment that Mat read, an Onryo is a Japanese spirit that is best described as a vengeful spirit. In particular, they are associated with being the cause of misfortune and disasters when particularly strong ones are angered. It takes a lot for someone to linger as an Onryo upon death, a lot of anger at least. There's a Japanese play that is similar to Macbeth in that it's considered to be cursed, while I don't know how common it actually is there are stories about actors and directors going to visit the grave of a main character in it to ask their spirit for permission since they are said to be an Onryo in folklore. Admittedly, I'm not an expert by any means and this is half remembered. Take my words with a healthy dose of salt but I think it's a good link to draw at least thematically. The Man in the Suit definitely sounds angry enough that he could be an Onryo, though it may not necessarily be the intention of the author
when matpat use the audio editor I actually hear watashi wa and then I remember the google translate at the beginning of the video and when Matpat discovers that I'm just laughing
I think the part where they told us they have lost everything wasn't a self-dialogue but a conversation between the suit and the man. This series is interesting and i can't wait to see more reaction videos on this.
Unknowingly is the most innovative analog horror creator I've ever seen, after this series he's making a Ghostbusters series, and potentially a Jaws analog horror. I truly cannot wait
so happy to see matpat covering this series! i'm hoping that after he finishes TMITS, he continues watching the Monument Mythos series since alex (mister manticore) has finished the main series and is now doing a modern day spin off series! hope the gtlive team sees this and brings the monument mythos series back onto the channel for not-live theorizing lol
Saw Minus One three times already, and contemplating on a fourth in the theaters. As a life-long Godzilla fan, this is without a doubt a top-tier kaiju movie, and just a great film in general. After some thought, it's now my favorite G-movie (just a hair-width above Shin Godzilla, which has been my favorite since that was released). This movie just gets Godzilla as a metaphor right. Honestly though, the people we follow are truly the stars. You actually feel for them - you want them to make it out okay, share their hopes when it seems they're on the upswing and their dread when their world is threatened. Even if you aren't a Godzilla fan, this film is just fantastic. It does so many things right. A triumph for sure!
the song in the audio cue video is “Honto Ni So Nara” which was a popular song that was released a year AFTER Hiroshima was bombed,so I’m assuming that goji has some humanity left in him and maybe some kind of emotional connection to the song (maybe his daughter or wife liked her songs?) since that seemed to be the only audio cue that he responded to.
Just wanted to say I've had a pretty brutal week at work, finally got home to rest and got a notification for this video. Thanks for making my evening guys!
Saw Godzilla Minus One, and I don't think I've ever rooted for the humans in a Godzilla film more than in this one. You just want to give all of the central characters a hug from all the stuff they've gone through. I wanted them to win for once. It deserves all of the praise that is being thrown it's way.
Godzilla Minus One is by far the best Godzilla film since the original and it is arguably one of the best movies of the year. The human drama, the action, the terror that is Godzilla is shown as this force of nature with the grounded grief and heavy emotion burdening the main character. It is quite literally…a feat and deserves all accolades
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy." - Ishirō Honda, one of the creators of Godzilla
