Intelligent Oddworld Conversation
I saw in another thread where Max said that he'd seen one of the most intelligent conversations on OWF in a long time. Well, I think it'd be good to have more of these. Anyway, here's a perspective on OW that you guys may have thought about.
Okay, did you notice that on M.O.M, newscaster slig refered to Abe as a terrorist. Of course we love Abe and would never think of him that way, but if applied to our world...he just might be. Okay, as far as we know, The Magog Cartel and Vykker Industries provide to the Khanzumers, thus having Khanzumers dependant upon the big industries...much like us. Abe blowing up a major factory would cause much havoc to the Khanzumer economy and would cause suffering with job loss etc. Think if a terrorist blew up a major oil refinery...it'd cause a whole mess of problems for us.
Also, Abe and the natives live amongst nature and we haven't seen major OW cities. Bin Laden hides out in caves and roams the contryside of Iran. Another thing...Bin Laden and company believe they're sent from God and Abe is a chosen one according to his people.
We know Magog Cartel and real world industry is crooked, but we can't live without them and they did this by design.
Now, I'm not saying all the OW fans should live in the forest and blow up factories. Not at all. I'm just trying to see OW from a Khanzumer point of view...which is to resemble us.
Hmmmmm, something to think about.
Discuss!
