It's the Albert Hitchenconk school of doing things.

That’s kinda why it’s so scary your always waiting for something to happen but it never does so it just leaves you waiting and preparing for nothing
It’s just like my dad. People always tell me he’s coming back and I get so excited but he never actually comes back.

If Adam is an Alternate without even knowing it, then maybe Alternates are not evil by nature but rather a differing race to humans. It seems like the stranger is trying to help Adam realize who he really is (he might be his father, judging by the dialogue.)
That's.. Quite the theory.
So literally a Goku vs Vegeta scenerio
If the stranger is his father, then he would probably represent alternate "God" because in the Bible Adam was basically the son of God, and Jonah (Adam's friend in Mandela catalogue) tried to flee from God but was captured.
That would mean that I could befriend alternates.
I think we should refer to this character as Father.
Just noticed this now, no idea how I didn't catch that earlier: Thatcher is the only still-living important named character with a non-biblical name, and also the only human to bear one. Mark, David, Jonah, Sarah, Adam, Evelin, Ruth are all biblical. Come to think of it, the only NON-biblical names in the entire series have been Thatcher, Stanley, Cesar and O'Brien, 2 of which are now dead/replaced, Stanley being a fictional name or Alias for another alternate. Interesting.
Margaret thatcher?
@@euanpc3322 no guys it's not Margaret thatcher guys come on
“Give to Cesar what is Cesar’s”
@@enthusiasticfungus7589 meh, meh. Caesar was not really a name, not the way we understand it. It was a "cognomen" for Caius Iulius and later, after his rise to power and death became a title, at the time of Christs life and during the writing of the Bible being understood as such. That same passage is commonly translated as "give unto the emperor what belongs to the emperor" in other translations, and the emperor at the time of Christs death was Tiberius. Could be, of course, but its not a biblical name in the traditional sense.
If I'm not mistaken, his last name Davis is just a letter off from David, tying him to the David & Goliath theme as well. In fact, Thatcher fits the bill closer than Dave did, because while both had an encounter with powerful alternates and defied them, Thatcher was able to survive his encounter, however scarred it left him, which is no small feat against the alternates.
god, i fucking love when pyro really dives in and gets engrossed in a media's story and world they're building. he approaches it really innocently and seriously, it makes it super entertaining to follow along

@@goofiestmold3151 But spread out over a long time. I kinda just completely forget that Mandela catalogue exists by the time a new one comes out. But that's probably because I don't care as much.
@@sycamorph
Same here
The way Evelin describes her argument with Adam makes it sound like Adam tried inflicting Metaphysical Awareness Disorder on her, which would make a lot of sense with the ending if he really is an alternate, the detail in this series is incredible, cannot wait for the next episode
Adam is the first alternate to be born in the world rather than be transported to it through video, mirrors, etc. Thats why when he was a toddler he didn't respond to the test and why he always felt as if his skin was not his own. He grew up never knowing that he was not human
I assume adam is the anti christ then..?
@@alext399 potentially? Not really sure, i believe he may be the only one able to stop Gabriel (satan) and thats why the guy in the tv has started talking to him, as to get him on their side before someone else turns him against the other alternates
So he's Just superman but without the cool powers
@@heartlessnobody1143 lol sure
@@priupus I just drew the connection because of him being a naturally born alternate
Alex keeps pumping out ballers each time, can't wait to see how Thatcher plays out as a threat to the alternates, Gabriel's real voice shining through the background of O'Brian's voice was amazing.

I like how this series experiments with different styles and doesn't get stuck in one specific style of horror, the bizarre movements of the alternates' facial structures is disturbing

@@sinkbug 5 second ad at start
Perfect for what? For stealing Alex's views with no effort?
@@Thomas_Angelo Fr
Such a minor detail but the 3 shots of the person's face for the software have the sound effects from a mandela fan game. love that alex interacts with the community and puts references in his videos.
It could also just be stock sound effects
plus the creator of that fan game is the actor for thatcher
The way the green screen acting is incorporated in those pre-rendered 3d environments Is PERFECT. It works similarly to FMV games like Harvester or Phantasmagoria.
The only thing left is fallout-style environments.
This is an old reference but the stuff like the outside environments like outside the police station and church and even inside the police station.. it reminds me old horror games on Newgrounds from about 15 years ago.
Like Exmortis.
And I honestly absolutely love it.
I grew up in a religious family and my grandma one day told me that if I had sinned that demons would crawl out the TV and take me to hell so this whole thing just... Reminds me of that .
I think people that have religious backgrounds especially to Christianity makes this like so much more unsettling as practically your whole life you've been learning about these guys but in like a positive angelic light. So seeing it flipped into a terrifying and santantic element makes it much more unsettling.
@@Megirly-kq9whabsolutely, not only because it turns the concept of Jesus on its head (the ultimate good being impersonated by the ultimate evil) but it also implies that God is NOT an all-powerful force and that Eternity is not guaranteed to be in Heaven.
Pyro should make a long form video on the Mandela Catalogue, then for years to come we demand a part 2 we will never get
This seems familiar.....eh just me
@@generic_account8252 It's only in le head, remember. 😉

Fun fact: Gabriel is voiced by Kyle DeNigris, who is also the VA of Boozoo from The Walten Files
Yoooo Walten files takes place in the mandela catalogue universe wthhhhhh
I thought it was the same VA as the final boss from dusk, different actors though, but they sound kind of similar
Oh yeah right where tf is walten files
Oh yeah right where tf is walten files
He sounds like Ballas from Warframe as well
I love the experimentation the Mandela Catalogue is doing, I think it makes it so the series doesn’t get stale and instead consistently builds upon itself
Edit: this isn’t to say it’s perfect, cause there is obviously stuff that can be improved on. But it’s a ballsy move and I really respect it
nice pfp
I agree. I loved Volume 333 with its very abrupt and distinct version of storytelling that gave it a whole different impact from the first two. I'm not the biggest fan of Volume 4, personally the live acting wasn't my jam, but it was one of those things where even though I might've not liked it, I still got what I wanted, which was some creativity and variety in the whole arg/analog/youtube horror sphere. That's something Alex makes sure to deliver. I also think that that's the direction of his work because I remember his early work being criticised for using tropes that are so cliché within the analog horror community. So yeah, the stuff he does is really entertaining
@@you_gullible_fucc yeah vol. 4 is honestly my least favorite (vol. 333 remains the best) but still the experimentation is much welcome for the series. I’d rather see it try and fail with new ideas compared to the same song and dance that it could have been
Honestly the live action bits are just terrible and incredibly jarring
@@dwightd.eisenhower2031 cool for you
7:32 XQC's cameo in Mandela Catalogue.
23:50 Jerma's cameo in Mandela Catalogue.
28:27 Doctor Disrespect's cameo in Mandela Catalogue.
though im not really a fan of the live action (imo it doesnt look unsettling, more just, well, bad.)
i really like that alex is putting more effort into this series and i cant wait to see how it all improves
also i love the 3d models
yeah i thought some of the live action stuff was kinda (i hate to say the word) cringy, its nice to see he’s trying new things and i don’t mind it staying in
Honestly everything with Dave Lee was just....eh. Thatcher and Evelin scenes were alright but Dave collapsing made me laugh if anything
Agreed, I think a lot of the live action stuff takes away the fun of imagination for me, while the 3D models are creepy as hell. I was alright with the Thatcher house scenes, but the Mandela Tech parts kinda sucked me out of the world.
@@MaxTheGameBoy It works with thatcher because hes still in a real place.
Everything else just looks dumb, the fake houses dont look good, takes me out of it.
It sorta works in 3.33 because we dont see actual humans beside it.
i think a major issue is the background is very low resolution but the people are super high quality, it's an obvious green screen they should try running it through the same vhs filter they run it through for the normal scares
I honestly love that "game end" has remained a staple in our vocabulary. 2017 fortnite skits were a fever dream bro
As soon as the new mandela episode came out I already knew pyro was gonna watch it on stream
i really like the live action scenes with cg backgrounds, it feels like an old point and click game and gives a weird uncanny valley vibe
Dang, still can’t believe they got XQC as a guest in the Mandela catalogue, that’s crazy

the face program part is one of the best in the series
The artistic direction with the live-action footage laid on top of like computer-generated backgrounds reminds me so much of the film adaptation of Sin City. Actually looks really really good, I love what Alex is doing by trying new things each episode
Also about the Face Studio 2 program: I believe it's a fake program created by or hijacked by the Alternates that acts as like a trojan horse software. The kids' video tape with Stanley on it in Mandela 333 was more srtaightforward because children are easier to trick, whereas here the primary target is like families, of which there would be discerning adults. So it has to trick you into believing it's a legitimate software, using buzzwords and a fairly innocent and generic layout, while also then effectively taking profile and mug shots alongside personal info so that the Alternates can more easily replace and impersonate you
Pyro going to bed knowing his viewers keep requesting petscop 2: 😴
Great video. This was my favorite part 40:56
I love how half of the plot in this volume is literally the alternates trying to dox people
Pyro saying 1 is 0.1% of 19 is priceless
I assume the reason isn't death itself when it comes to why alternates kill people. If they're something remotely close to devils/demons, the reason would most likely be inciting fear THROUGH death. The direct death of humans would have no benefit for them, but it might be pleasurable for them to see humans in deep distress and fear, and that's the most probable reason imo.
exactly what I'm saying, it was shown at the beginning of the series that the alternates will attempt psychological warfare on their victims
To add on to your theory, when David was at the church there was a restricted sign on the church’s fence. so maybe that specific church is where Gabriel has the most power over where he can speak to people and kill them off.
I think dave gouged out his eyes?

Nice to tell us that he has an Inflation program working on his PC.
Pretty sure Adam is an alternate that grew up as a human, and is now being contacted or "woken up" by the stranger. Would explain his obsession with alternates and the stranger telling Adam "You're skin is not your own, you're not the real you." This is further supported by the stranger talking about the night Adam was taken from his mother and describing taking the baby from the crib. Could also be that the 3% of people that survived MAD were all just humans replaced by alternates, and Adam is one of them. So potentially could be many more humans who are actually alternates and don't know it. Would also explain why the voice in volume 2 told Adam "Don't make me wake the others."
@@DragonnRider pfp checks out
I wish the alternates resembled the way the looked in vol1. These 3d models just really aren't as scary or unnerving as the original alternates looked, they had these unnerving "shadow man" look to them. Now that we know what they look like a lot of Mandela isn't very scary anymore since we lose that unpredictability that they had
I get what you mean and kinda agree, but if Alex was to just make them these obscure things like they were before, it’d be a lot more difficult to make the story how it is and to expand upon it just barely showing these creatures and having them be like still images all the time.
@@xmsjd yeah I agree, it seemed kind of unavoidable tbh. If he kept that design from vol1 it wouldn't have developed into what is is now, but since he did it's far less scary as a result, he didn't really have a choice it seemed like
don't forget gabriel with his "cartoon villain from 90's tv show" dialogue.
honestly, a lot in the new volume was a letdown for me. I know that this project is made by one guy with a vodka bottle budget, but volume 3 was so mush better while being much more simple (less 3d, less cringy live-action with sims 2 tier backgrounds, etc)
@@russian_knight yeah. I’m pretty sure his goal is to lead The Mandela Catalogue out of the Analogue Horror genre and make it more of a thriller series, with horror elements tied into it. That much is evident, especially with this volume and 333, so I feel like in that way it’s not gonna hit that audience the series initially created when it first started.
I call this the stranger things effect

I might cop that sweater once it comes out. Love the colors. That'd be the first piece of RUclipsr merch I'd buy.
I'm guessing that Thatcher was subjected to an earlier episode of that friend video and thus MAD but somehow resisted it and created the funny television guy from that concept who spoke to him again using the same video that we get to see.
Also, him being called an intruder is a direct opposite to a friend - someone who isn't invited in and unwanted compared to someone who is. Maybe the "friend creation" for him actually went wrong due to Thatcher's reversal, making the intruder different/wanting to help him. Alternatively, could be that the "reversal" is about emotions and that originally, a copy of the person is created with all their personality and emotions but that is removed and put onto the one affected by MAD, with the reversal stopping this or at least limiting it. This could explain why present day Thatcher is having hallucinations about Alternates or the dead because the emotions that he feels are always heightened because of what was previously said.

1:02 the reason why he said spirit, rather than G-d or anything else, is because it was paraphrasing Genesis 1:2, where the word "spirit" (it can also mean "wind") is used. It's a very ambiguous verse and what it means has been up for debate. However, it is possible that he kept it in "spirit" as a means of applying the ambiguity as to who the spirit was

Ye shall not do so unto the L-rd your G-d.” Rabbis deduced from this that it was forbidden to erase the name of G-d from a written document. Since any paper upon which G-d’s name was written might be discarded and thus “erased”, the rabbis forbade explicitly writing the name of G-d, except in Holy Books, with provisions for the proper disposal of such books."

I think the tapes being mailed are themselves bait, like how the screams were used to bait Alternates, to bring people to Mandela to have Alternates impersonate them.
Like a supernatural Anglerfish using an ARG as a lure.
I remember seeing a comment about how Gabriel saying "you have already done my bidding for me" could be relating to Dave being a technician, since the alternates are using technology to empower themselves. This kinda ties into that idea
"You never say fuck off to the internet stranger"
This is true. I did this to a college recruiter email that I thought was a bot email and I thought nobody would see it, I was dead wrong.

The Gabriel church scene goes so hard,imagine seeing an alternate as an ANGEL Sprout wings instead of just appear and then drop down and hunt you
I think Pyro should be thinking about this whenever he starts downloading shady mods for games like TF2
I think Pyro has most of the lore pretty spot on, I think personally that Adam's intruder is just our version of god that we know that's found a way to free himself but has to hide from Gabriel since he does not match Gabriel in power. This would also make sense for the story we know of Adam and Eve where Adam was the one who did not want to eat the apple showing that this future version of Adam will not fall for Gabriel's deception as the original Adam did because he is being guided by the true God.
I only love Pyro's reactions to mandela catalogue because he's the only one who actually follows the story and understands what is going on
