The abortion theory is false, like you said, as the word of the author, the word of god, trumps all else when it comes to fan theorization. That said, there's still merit to the ideas put forth in the theory. Giygas isn't some aborted fetus, of course, and the imagery of the fetus is almost definitely coincidental. However, given the themes of the games, especially in Mother 1 and Earthbound, the imagery and iconography purported in the theory and related topics still leave room for some serious analysis. Not because of anything intentional by any artists or developers, but interpretation is still very much valid despite that. I won't go too far into it, but even as a confirmed coincidence, you can view the fetal imagery as an analogy for Giygas' mental state. In the events of Earthbound, he seems to have reverted to a more infantile state, mentally speaking. Again, it's less that Giygas is a literal fetus with intentional imagery as proof, but more that there are definite, subtextual themes of motherhood and infancy found in the character and his story, and the events at the end of the game as well as the imagery described in the theory, while unintentional, go beyond the intent of the author and help allow personal, and possibly even intentional grounds for, interpretation.
Honestly this game kind of ruined my love for video games. After beating it and going back and beating beginnings, there’s just nothing else i want to play. I tried emulating mother 3 but even that didn’t itch the same scratch. It’s just such an amazing game. Story is 💯 sprite work is 💯 music is 💯.. there’s just nothing else that is the same caliber. Maybe I’m being over dramatic but this game is literally the best game I’ve ever played(and I’ve played alot)
I got copyright ID'd by a music Corp for the outro music I used. Guess RUclips was a bit too excited when I went to edit it out. Will try to fix, thank you for letting me know!
the creator of Earthbound said that the abortion theory is false
It was too bizarre for me not to mention, but I should've probably said it was confirmed false
