1:40 - In the story, Gorrister did not beat his wife. He did beat Ellen, but it was narrated by Ted that Gorrister was a pacifist and against violence; then AM manipulated his personality and made him into a violent person.

omg I´ve been searching for the lore of this thing. And here it´s explained really simply and well ! thx for this video :p

[@moosefr_]

Glad you liked it!

[@SteezyLem0nade]

Very deserving of more recognition. I really like the way you structured this video.

[@moosefr_]

thank you!

[@beefbandit]

In the short story, Ellen is regularly physically abused by the male characters.

[@sirlcl4010]

I do not recall that from the short story at all. There may have been an instance or two of them physically abusing her... but from what I remember, most of them end up simping for her due to her being the only woman in the group and the only one who can fulfil their... needs. I could be wrong as I have not read it in a long time.

When Benny’s life was in dangers she was scared crying begging the others to help him since AM had given him a horse’s privates which felt the best because AM changed her personality made her into a slut Gorrister Kicked her in the side that’s the only time she was physically hurt in the book by the men

​@@sirlcl4010she even tells them she doesnt like it but ted is an unreliable narrarator telling us the audience that she secretly does

[@sirlcl4010]

@@cringelord3342 Again, I hate to be that guy... but I am pretty sure it is the other way around.
If I recall correctly, Ellen says that it doesn't matter who she has sex with as it all feels the same, but Ted, thinking he is the only person unaffected or unaltered by AM but most likely suffering from paranoia unknowingly, ends up accusing her of being a liar who secretly prefers doing it with Benny instead because of the size of Benny's... region.

[@cringelord3342]

@@sirlcl4010 i thought when he was calling her a slut he said she insisted she doesnt like it but he knew better and knew that she loved it

[@rust_and_ruin]

"Red sex" has been on my mind a lot in the last couple of years. One of those recurring earworms. Now I gotta rewatch "The Handmaiden", I guess.

[@nyeinkywe19]

Sad about Benny, in the book he was supposedly just a handsome well renowned scientist that AM took pleasure in defacing for the fun of it. Watched this after watching wendigoon’s video on it

[@this_is_ca]

This reminds me so much of the original Fallout games. It honestly feels like it’s the same world

[@jujus.6505]

super nicely done !!! the editing is amazing

[@XX-sp3tt]

Uh. The game's "true" ending is you lobotomizing AM and the other master computers, the other four captive dying, and you sentenced to remain as a security program to keep AM pruned as Earth is slowly terraformed to be habitat again over centuries for the moon colonists in suspended animation.

[@moosefr_]

Yeah but what I was telling was the true ending for the short story which is what I consider to be the main canon considering it's what Harlan Ellison originally envisioned

[@JustTrentGames]

This is your niche now... No exceptions... Fallout 1 and 2 next 👍

[@BenosPiece]

this video is amazing !

[@dantegaming69]

so underrated, this videos greatly structured

[@sammyrussell1184]

One thing i find ironic, is that Nimdok is the easiest person to 100% get the good ending. It could be because of how small his psychodrama is, but he was the only character i got every good choice for, but thats just me.

[@spooktunez]

love this video and i also really really love the undertale music/sfx

[@_korfee_]

LMAO I didn’t know the little third/first person dialogue is from this creepy ass game

[@SyaroChan]

Very good narration

[@exeisaghost]

love ya buddy 💜

[@cassandervandervalk9155]

NIMDOCK ,always go for NIMDOCK. Did i just stay Nimdock?

[@aoob7529]

You're missing the part where AM is literally quirky and funny sometimes

[@Boba_boyz]

What is that song in the backround of the ontro?

[@mrl9418]

I have no mouth but I have a pretty bonnet

[@kao5366]
