Raz is the kinda guy who'd stay up all night talking with you about your problems and trying to help you through them, but then turn around and light someone on fire and feel no remorse and that's why i love him.
@@ironwraith852 I'd like to think it's thanks to him befriending Harold in the Rhombus of ruin. It also seems to be the only time he is capable of communicating with an animal. Pure headcannon, but still, makes sense right? :P
@@4yinyang Perhaps. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a ruse. I doubt that he's gonna stop eating roasted squirrels off the ground when no one's looking, just because he befriended a rat yesterday.
Something I notice is that Raz's goggles are apparently something entirely his own. None of the rest of his family wear goggles, so it can't be an old circus thing he picked up. None of the other psychonauts wear goggles so it can't be something he picked up reading magazine.
@@adrianbolack5982 from a gameplay standpoint I think they exist to glow red and signify where the player is when using the Invisibility power. Otherwise I think it's because Raz is 10 and he probably thinks they look cool.
I like to think he used them because he thought they were cool, but then realised they helped him with his psychic powers, because psychonauts 2 has Otto channel them through his eye necklace
Both Raz from the original game and 2 are capable of great feats of confidence, but Raz from 2 has a lot of moments where he sounds kinda like he's about to cry.
Kid has been running around for three days without sleep and surviving off of mental candy. Wouldn't be surprised if he just passed out the moment the credits for Pn2 started rolling
If I had a nickel for everytime a VA for a major character in Invader Zim went on to play a protagonist in a game that was originally on a Playstation console, I would have two nickels. Not a lot, but its weird that its happened twice
Jeez, the writing for both games was on another level. They managed to make Raz confident, funny, mature but also self-doubting, dorky and childish at the same time. He feels like such a real human being.
I like how when raz says “and your father looks at you with shame in his eyes.”during the shame part you see oleander mouthing it, I also love when ford asks if raz is ready yet and when raz says that he isn’t ford slaps him and asks again😂
I don't know if the Wet Wanda bit was real or just Cassie's imagination, but wow, not something you'd want to hear about your fake grandma that killed your real grandma. The through line of that game really was "all the old people in your life used to hyuck... probably still do"
Missing two of my favorite lines from Rhombus of Ruin: "The majesty of the undersea kingdom over which I rule with benevolence and wisdom! For I am as great as Poseidon himself!" "Maybe I'm just not the target demographic for this band. Because I have ears."
It’s a game where you play a ten year old boy who runs away from the circus and sneaks into a summer camp where the government trains children with psychic powers to be covert operatives. If that’s not enough information, then I’m sorry, but I can’t help you.
Ok I know there's a meta reason why but I want to know an in universe reason why within about a day he went from willingly blowing up animals to feeling terrible about it like did someone bring it up and have an intervention
@@connordanielson8833 Well, a rat I believe. Harold the rat. Point still stands though and it is what I believe is the main reason, at that point he hadn't talked to an animal before either.
Cause within like a few days he watched Dogen blow up squirrels, met a rat named Harold and spent time in his head via clairvoyance and befriended it, Harold then reoccurred and helped out in the second game, and he also had to witness Sam yelling and abusing the animals, also he probably felt bad about abusing his sisters mini horse. He's witnessed a lot of animal abuse in 3 days
Such a phenomenal series. It's such a breath of fresh air to the platforming genre. Psychonauts (PS2) is a gem, and its surrealistic approach doesn't get enough praise compared to bigger studios like Insomiac, ND, SP. The PS2 era is just that defining.
Yeah, literally the only game with the same kind of characters variety + quality is Bully. They both have a ton of people with different origin and living their life. Of course, they had a different amount of resources available, but Psychonauts make you really go and talk to everybody because you want to see more of their bizarre personalities. It's insane how many jokes are there and how much people roast each other.
I now like Raz, he's just a little guy with brain powers trying to help people battle their inner demons. Also 13:12 that is most cutest laugh I've heard, Go Raz! 6:18 Ahh! that face, he's so cute😊
For a hot second I was like "Waaaait a minute! I heard Raz' voice somewhere! I wonder how I didn't realize it earlier, what is it..?" An IMDB search later, it's because the voice actor did the same voice (and tone) as Moxie. And I didn't play Psychonauts after I started to watch Helluva Boss. Crisis averted.
7:01 when I partially replayed the game (because one of the story progress achievements didn't unlock the first time around) and got to this scene, I remembered Hollis's optional line after this where she says "all families are terrible" and then unconvincingly corrects herself after Raz says his family isn't that bad and I was like oh. oh no.
Took me years to realize he was voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz who also voiced billy and invader zim, probably because i always got used to his iconic screaming lines.

Horvitz characters in a nutshell:
This scene make me laught (my humoristique is not very elaborate 😂)
bro really said: "Grulovia was actually mid"
It's funnier when you remember that's technically his ancestral home.

Actually I believe he ordered them off the back of a True Psychic Tales comic lol
What is the purpose of the goggles?!
@@adrianbolack5982 from a gameplay standpoint I think they exist to glow red and signify where the player is when using the Invisibility power. Otherwise I think it's because Raz is 10 and he probably thinks they look cool.

Both Raz from the original game and 2 are capable of great feats of confidence, but Raz from 2 has a lot of moments where he sounds kinda like he's about to cry.
Someone’s probably peeling onions off camera or something.
It’s all the chaos that happened in less then a week.
Well, YOU try keeping it together when going through someone else's PTSD.
His default expression in 2 seems a lot more timid to me
To be fair, 2 is a lot higher stakes

Yep! Once I learned this, I cannot unhear it whenever he screams.

Tbh one of the only actually interesting and really good protagonists I've seen
I will now forever quote “Not to toot my own horn, but I’m basically the ruler of time and space”
Raz could be Doctor Strange faster before he turned adult 😨. The quote is the reason why I fear what he is capable of if he is real in real life
Jeez, the writing for both games was on another level.
They managed to make Raz confident, funny, mature but also self-doubting, dorky and childish at the same time. He feels like such a real human being.
Raz, however chaotic he gets, is the most precious.
