    Love the character. But the reason he was so fascinating as a kid is because if the mystic and mystery surrounding him. If he’s put in these other games without it making sense you take the weight away from such a character. That being said, I love him so much I always welcomed a sighting regardless 😊

    I think you can find an explanation of why PH is around even after silent hill 2. Like he is a creature that was born out of such self hatred, that the city could not get rid of him anymore and so he became a being that appears to punish the worst of the worse.

    In my headcanon every protagonist has a unique ‘pyramid head’ that the town manifests depending on said protagonist and their story - aware Harry and Henry are missing but as I said this is my headcanon…
    James: Pyramid head
    Heather: Valtiel
    Alex: Bogeyman (homecoming version)
    Travis: the butcher
    Murphy: Bogeyman (downpour version)
    Also unpopular opinion - but aesthetically, I much preferred homecoming/movies pyramid head design!

    • @PretzelSage
      @PretzelSage 5 месяцев назад +4

      I think Pyramid Heads design is a lot better for the rustic theme of the otherworld in those games and the movies, but his original design is better for the fleshy one we see in 2/3. Even though he's not in 3, just an example.
      I also agree, every protagonist but Henry has their own Judge, taking form in the ways you had just said. Henry didn't get one because he wasn't exploring "his" silent hill like everyone else was.
      I think the new The Short Message game actually lacks a "judge", but with how much it changes the way Silent Hill works, that might not be a thing everyone gets.

      Homecoming's Boogeyman and Origins' Butcher were too close to Pyramid Head (in case of SH:H literally just Pyramid Head) while Valtiel in SH3 was fulfilling a completely different purpouse.
      Also can't help but notice Harry and Henry are missing which only goes to show how hellbent Konami/devs were from 4 onwards to have their own Pyramid Head in there.
      I will say that it kinda worked in Downpour.

    RPT got done dirty after getting forced into everything after SH2 when it was SPECIFIC to James and SH2.
    It's also a bastardization of the executioners from the cult, who wore large, pointed, red hoods and you can see a photograph of these hooded cult members in the Historical Society.

    Pyramid head and vhatiel have nothing to do with each other one represents punishment the other represents rebirth and servitude which aren’t acronyms or synonyms to each other they never appear side by side they never appear in the same game they never do anything they are just their either to punish you for your crimes against humanity (pyramid head) or to resurrect you if you die (vhatiel)
    I’m aware there is a log about them being mentioned together yes but that’s it

  • @adlerrsg
    @adlerrsg Месяц назад

    Hello! I just finished SH2 and I got questions. So, PH is not a manifestation of James's sexual frustations but a punisher for himself. That's why it kills some monsters of the town? It is not doing sexual things in the first encounter. So what is Maria and why she is killed three times for PH?

    • @JarendFromVietNam
      @JarendFromVietNam Месяц назад +1

      1. Maria is what James want Mary to be. You can empathy with this situation since living with an illness person is very frustrating, not just physically but also mentality. So James want Mary to be more sexual, a kind of woman that talks sweet things to man, or at least, James is sexually frustrated because Mary is ill.
      2. The Pyramid Head is the darkside of James. That's why it did some *sexual* action when James first see it in the kitchen. His head is the Pyramid, implies that James is trapped with Mary in the hospital room, can't move on on his life, but at the same time he can't leave Mary alone behind just so he can live his own life, James's life is being trapped as well.
      3. Beside from the Pyramid Head, all the monsters are Female. Why? Well, it's implies that of Mary's illness, like in the game, when you kill too much monsters you get the bad ending, whereas you could get the good end.
      4. The Pyramid Head can't be defeated unless James admit his guilty. Later on when he admit, the Pyramid Head kill itself.

    Lemme say it simply: PH is an entity purely meant to be your Michael Myers. When the guilt of your actions weighs so much on you that you deny what you’ve done to a point of gaslighting yourself, that is when PH is manifested. He is there to remind you that YOU DESERVE THIS.
    Having him appear in other places does not diminish what his purpose is. He is your punishment. Your executioner. You cannot escape.
