Oddworld Movie Speculation

[Xavier]

I'm pretty sure you only learn it in the Monsaic Temple, can you show me where he learns it in RF?

[used:)]

It's probably something that came naturally (what with him being the savior and all that), but he only honed it in the Monsiac Temple. I would think that other Mudokons would have to train much harder before they can gain the ability to magically chant.

[Nate]

Possession is only explained in Rupturefarms but there is a scrolling display that explains that muds can be freed by leading them to bird portals and chanting.

In-universe, I would say that it's something muds can innately do but Abe only realised at the beginning of the game that it opened portals.

EDIT: I found the screen where the display talks about chanting. I cut and pasted to get the whole text.

[Xavier]

He learned the chant in RF but his possision ability only in MT, right?

[Nate]

Unless the player works it out himself, yes.

[Nath]

yeah, because you can possess sligs before you leave Rupture farms.

That makes sense for gameplay, but not really for the story. Abe probably wants to help his fellow-slaves to get out (there is a sign before the exit that if you leave, all of the other workers in this section will die, though again that might just be for gameplay [how do they know that you're trying to get out? does it simply apply to everyone?]) but will he know how? Perhaps there are some wild-caught mudokons that teach the others how to chant, maybe for peace of mind? And then Abe finds out that he can use his for something.

Story-wise, I think it would be better if he knew nothing of his culture (because he started off not knowing much about anything) or of special powers and what-not, and was taught everything at the temple, maybe from the wild mudokons and BigFace.

[Kamille]

I thought it was cool how BigFace was so mysterious but this time around I would like to see some more backstory on him.

[ziggy]

silvertwilight that's pretty much the point I was tring to make earlier.

And if too much was told about Bigface he wouldn't really be mysterious. I like it better that he is more a shadowy character, it makes him seem more powerful.
