Something to do with the heroes of the Quintology!

[paramiteabe]

I was looking at the instruction manual of Munch just now and I noticed the double rings where Munch's head pops up. Now I was thinking when Abe's Head poped up in the first two games there was only one ring surrounding his head. Now In Munch there are two rings. An outer ring and an inner ring with Munch's head showing through like Abe's. Could this mean something? Like two rings=two heroes? Or for instance the ring with Munch's head could also mean that each hero of the quintology could possiably be a lower life form than the other? Like when we get to Squeek there will be three rings and Squeeks head will be showing through the third ring and so forth and so on where each character is a lower lifeform than the preveous?

Mainly what I am saying is that maybe each hero in the quintology is a lower life form than the preveous on the bottom of the food chain and that the rings in the opening of each game sort of represents that. A perfect example is Abe to Munch. Munch seems to be a lower life form compared to a Mudokin. And the Mudokins could start off the races that are at the bottom of the food chain.
Now this is only a quick theory so I understand if you don't get what the heck I am saying. I don't even understand this myself so bare with me. So I have a picture of what I am talking about. You see there is the outer ring and then there is that inner ring that surrounds Munch's head. I am sure it doesn't mean anything but I had to say this because its been bothering me.

(Edit) Maybe this clears it up the outer ring represents Abe and the inner ring represents Munch and maybe there will be more rings as the games progress. Also each ring could mean that each hero is on a lower level at the bottom of the food chain. Thats the theory! I tell ya this is hurting my head.

You really do think about Oddworld an aweful lot, don't you? And the things you come up with - wow, they're all so...um...erm...er...original (yeah, that't do, I guess). Hehehe, just kidding.

Um, I dunno. Lorne has insinuated that one of the heros may be a queen (which certainly begs the question of how do we control her in game, among others), which are large animals. I hope the heros don't turn out to be just a serious of linear progressions - like each hero having his/her own moon is bad enough, but if there's a trend to all the characters, that would just be too corny and forced, in my eyes.

I suppose I'm also thinking about this rumoured half-monkey, half-horse centaur. Do you want to apply your theory to this guy? We don't know if he's actually one of the five saviours (we don't know if he's for real, or just a joke, even), but in my mind he's horse-sized, which would be bigger than Abe. Whether he's 'higher' or 'lower' than Munch, I dunno, although I can't help wondering if there'd need to be two seperate rings, one for this guy, one for his boat. Maybe?

I haven't really speculated like this before, so forgive my rambling style. It's just so much more fun than doing homework, y'know?

Tell you the truth I have been thinking of Oddworld too much lately. I need to stop or I will drive myself crazy! Anyway thats just something that came on my mind the other day so I know its nothing.

Or maybe it just has to do with graphic enhancments. Or it looks cooler. Or maybe aliens caused it. Dun dun dun...

And you know, you don't really base a theory on video game characters that we've seen two of. I think its kind of silly. If a queen is a character, I think thats advancing a bit. Just... please, please. For your own good, just stop thinking about Oddworld. You'll find your brain functions will improve by 99%.
