My point was that he died and was resurrected. Like Jesus. And Neo.

I think with Abe, when he is being reborn, I believe it's like he was reborn to shed his old life as a simple floor waxer dude. The shedding of a life full of lies that he was made to believe. This rebirth helped to not only bring him back to life, but also to realize that this is something he has to do. This is something Abe has to do in order to save his species. He cannot (or will not) go back to the life he had before. Aside from his foot falling, the last thing he saw was the moon, thus giving the last image he saw before the ending of his past life. He is still Abe, but he was revived to a new life.
What, you think that Abe was gonna be a zombie? lol |
The symbol for Shrykull is the rock art of a paramite with the head part of the scrab symbol coming out the top, with paramite fangs on its head and surrounded by rings.
Bigface giveth, Bigface taketh away. He nearly killed Abe at the begining of AE |
^ I love that 'Bigface giveth/taketh' thing you did. And I do see the Abe/Jesus/Neo connection. But Abe would own either of the other two any day. ;)
Neo could fly and do martial arts, and Jesus could walk on water and heal the blind, but Abe can heal the sick as well, turn invisible, possess people and turn into the Shrykull. EDIT: oh and don't think i'm mocking Jesus. That post was intended to be sarcastic, in an OANST style, before any of you accuse me of religious predjudice. |
stop making links with Neo. :p
The Matix was released after Abe's Exoddus |
So therefore, Neo copied Abe? In that case, I guess Neo can be taken out of the equation.
|
No, the matrix in its itself was a melting pot of various mythilogical references.
Especially the Animatrix. |
I have put this here:p Not a new thread just in case, I get shouting at.
I have to declare, I feel sorry for munch. He seems to be in so much pain. Refering to the Labour Egg Storage level at the very end. When you put all the eggs in the well. I panned over to munch and he was shaking madly. Long periods like that he would be dead. Did anyone else feel sorry for him? He suffering for abe. Doing abe's dirty work. |

o o o another question in MO. In the offices of the Glukkons. There appear to be computers. Are these voice recognition?
And why is there zap vendos about. These are for Munch only right? Vykkers dont use these? o and Aquabounce, they cant stand water? |
well yes I guess the computers are voice commended. I don't see how else Glukkons would use them
as for the power ups I'm not sure who can use them, Zap and Aquabunce are only for Munch I guess |
I'm guessing that the vendos are used for study purposes. Such as, when Vykkers are studing underwater wild life, they could use an AquaBounce to get out of the water. (I can't imagine Vykkers as much of a good swimmer though.) For Zap, they could use it on their Snozis, to stun people, for easier studing.
|
I think that's the best explanation I've heard so far. Experimental purposes by the Vykkers make sense. Maybe they were doing some market research, and they might not just be for Munch, there could be other Oddworld species we don't know of that could use Aquabounce and etc. Just cause it had Munch's face on them doesn't mean it's just for him (outside of the game) it's just an easy way to identify the vending machines.
|
well I guess that's a good explanation, they could be making some experiments on the other gabbits that were captured before, and after having fun, selling their skin, lungs, etc...
|
Except that Munch was the only Gabbit (and probably the only creature) with a headport to allow him to use Zap.
|
well sam has a head port too :p
but you have a point here, since munch seemed to be the first gabbit that was supposed to find the caged fuzzles. |
Zap is a sports drink. That's what it would have been intended for on the other Gabbits. The zap emitted by Munch's headport is just a side-effect.
|
:
Munch can use that too, and Expresso. :
After all, I thought they captured Gabbits as well to test on. ...Or were the nets in the beginning from fishing boats? |
Expresso is merely expresso coffee. Again, the speeding up is an exaggerated effect of it, possibly a side-effect. Bounce I'd imagine was intended to be used for Sligs-they can't jump, so being able to bounce could help them. Then we get on to Klime, although I think Kilme's purpose is pretty obvious.
|
did you try to take some bounce when you are a slig in MO?
like in the dead river level |
:
It only works with Expresso and Sligs. They're funny when they run so fast...^.^ |
Wait- Klime? The sticky Java coffee/ I didn't see that in MO
|
it was only shown in some gameplay videos at an old E3 before it was cut out
|
Oh oh me next I don't think this one's been asked.......I'm confused...some people are saying 'yes' and some are saying 'no' and some are saying 'I dunno!' and some are saying 'shut up!'*smack*.....but will there be another Oddworld game? 'cos I think it could be done...they've got no reason to stop right?
|
Most likely, yes. They will follow the movie with a game. But if the movie isn't successful enough, the business may shut down.
|
the last official word is:
"not before the movie." yes, they are working on the movie right now |
One curious question. Did (Vykkers)humphrey and irwin die in the blimp lab explosion in the end? Did the fuzzle get their own prime?
|
Most likely, they died.
