    A detail someone else pointed out that I really love, is that the woman calling about her cat and leading the guys there in the first place, might have been an alternate herself as she seems to misinterpret speech.
    When Adam says "We can stop by tonight if you want?"
    She replies with "How about THREE nights?"
    This COULD be her not understanding the difference between the WORD tonight, and the PHRASE two nights.

    A pretty common theory I’ve heard is that the woman that Adam is looking for is his mother, the one distraught who had hung herself in the earlier video. Adam was the baby in that video that went missing, but somehow survived the encounter, not unlike the encounters he can survive in vol.2. There’s some more theories too now that the fourth episode has come out and Adam is revealed to have some alternate-type behaviors himself, he’s had visions and memories his whole life, making it all more plausible that he was kidnapped and escaped as a child.

    Personally, I've got the idea that Adam himself was kidnapped by The Intruder, and that his mother was the one who exnayed herself at his disappearance. When Adam was brought back, he realized his mother had become an alternate, and started chasing answers.
    I don't think The Intruder actually erases/kills the kids he takes as a method to cut off the potential alternate body supply. I think he immunizes the kids he takes so that they can't be affected by False Shephard influence, and puts them back out in the world some time later, or potentially even earlier than when they were taken, as suggested by the inclusion of the Department of temporal phenomena.

On God, his principles, what He actually wanted for humanity etc. Not to mention the fact that humanity was decieved and let astray by the false sheperd. It would drive most insane.

    You know I have this small theory about the intruder and who he might be. The intruders identity might actually be a lot more obvious than it might seem. I suspect that the intuder is an Angel. Unlike the alternates, the intruder acts more discretly and in a way that influences the outcome, while not directly partaking in the process himself. More like nudging things in a certain direction while not personally acting (which is sort of like the way God often does things in the Bible, as we can see with Jonah. Instead of warning the city himself, he asks a human to do it. Moses can also be made as an example. Instead of acting himself, God acted through Moses and so on and so forth).
    The chid kidnapping can also be easily explained with this variable. Why kidnap children? Simple: They are pure. Untouched by sin and desires unlike adults. Children are also fresh in this world, with a completly new and uncorrupted soul that is not fully integrated into the mortal life and it's concepts, which I'll explain the importance of later.
    The other thing said in this video was that the Intruder was brainwashing the children, but I do not believe that to be the case. If the children are really being "brainwashed" then why not just use adults? It's brainwashing. It works on everyone and would be more beneficial to perform on adults since they can be deployed immediatly, while a child has to grow. But what is he doing if not brainwashing? How does he create these "soldiers" out of children? Well that's also simple: He shows them their place in the universe and tells them exactly the same thing the alternates do. Why is the child not driven insane then? Well this is where we tie back to the purity/freshness concept. Children grow and they start to comprehend and learn about the world around them gradualy, piece by piece and when they get old enough they believe themselves to have figuered out the concepts of reality, so when they are told what reality is truly like, their believes and concepts turn upside down and they can no longer find certainty and safety in their believes which drives them mad. But if you take a child at the early stage, at a point where they do not understand the world around them and show them what it truly is, their thoughts are not doubtfull, they have no concepts to be thrown upside down, because they have no concepts except for the ones which just got implanted into them. They already comprehend and know everything, which is why they are not scared, why they pursue their goals despite the dangers and why they cannot be corrupted by alternates.
    So why do they seem not to remember anything? Well if we go by the typical depiction of the human essence it consists of two seperate things: The physical body and the soul which are two differnt things but together make up the mortal shells that humans are. The intruder reveals everything to the child, which gives the child two places to take in the information: The mind and the soul. The soul does not forget and is responsible for the draw in humans and the urge to uncover the truth as they get older. This may be a way for the soul trying to call out to the body so it can regain the information it has now lost due to age or it my be some vague memories in the subconcious that have been retained (to give a simple example: you vaguely remember something happened in a show, but forgot the name of the show and now you're trying to remember, but can't so you do some research to get that feeling of satisfaction and reasureance. Kinda same concept here ish), which brings me to the mind section. The human mind is limited, especially a childs and as they grow older some memories begin to fade either into the subconcious or be completly erased, which is the reason they can not remember anything when they are adults, but due to the concept of reality itself being already ingrained into their essence, they can not be corrupted by the information given out by alternates due to them already being aware of it in some way.
    The line "wake up" may very well refer to this. "Quit living in this world of pretend and dreams and see the world for what it really is. Wake up".
    That may also be the reason why Adams mother killed herself when she saw the intruder in the TV. He was telling the truth of reality to Adam and the mother overheard it by accident, which ended up in accidental colateral damage for the intruder. The intruder tampering with the body of the mother could also be explained this way, since he caused her to commit suicide by accident, he tried to prevent her from becoming an alternate.
    As to the line "don't make me wake the others". It is a lot trickier, but again I have a theory on this. I believe that the Intruder sees Adam as special and strong. He says "don't make me wake the others" which is most likely referring to the other children the intruder has kidnapped. Why would he NOT wake them? If the threat is serious and he is trying to combat it, why not throw everything you have at it? This tells me that the Intruder believes that Adam is all that is needed. But why is he special? Well the very first thing to start of with is that Adam got returned back to the mortal world after he was abducted. We know that Adam may very well be the only or extremly rare case, since it is clearly stated that the other children disappeared, implying that they were not returned. The person he is looking for may very well also be a clue as to what makes Adam special. If you haven't figured it out by now, I believe that the identity of Adam is lying in plain sight. Adam is Adam. THE Adam, the first human. A reincarnation of him. And the person he is looking for? Eve. That is why her name is censored every time she is mentioned. If her name was said there would be no mystery. It is also the reason he's so obsessed with finding her no matter what. She is his "other half".
    (I might be reaching in this section, so take it with a very large grain of salt)
    Jonah might also be exactly who his name states him to be. The only people who are not affected are not the people who SEEK the truth. It is the people who already KNOW the truth. The people who are "unaffected", who got abducted and then returned are biblycal characters and the ones who did not get returned are NEW "soldiers" for what might very well be Armagedon in this universe. Which is why the intruder is so hesitant to use them, as it would be total war.
    Apologies for this whole Google doc, that's probably not even going to be seen by anyone. But on the chance that someone DOES find this: I'm sorry for any grammatical errors, this took like 1 hour to write. Maybe like 1 and a half. I dunno, I didn't pay exact attention to time while writing this, all I know is that it's been at least an hour. And remember: That's just a theory. A Filmtheory.

    Quick thing I'm sure many of people have noticed. When you first see " "Mandela" Catalogue, and you don't know what it is, you probably think of the Mandela effect. An effect where the majority of people remember something a certain way when in reality, it never truly was that way. Mentioning this fact, the spirit who comes to the shepherds, mary and Joseph etc. make it seem as if everything that everyone has ever known about Christianity was a lie. Which, in itself is a form of the Mandela effect.

The other is popping the pimple will cause instantaneous death.

    When Jonah ran away from that city, known as Nineveh, he didn't "chicken out". That's inaccurate. It's clearly stated in the story that Jonah felt that city did not deserve God's mercy. Jonah knew how wicked and immoral those people were, and he'd rather let God destroy them for their sins instead of giving them even the slightest chance of repenting.
    That is what makes the story of Jonah so thought-provoking. It's not just a simple story of a guy who got scared and "ran away from God". Jonah took that boat ride away from Nineveh not because he actually thought he could run from God, but as an act of demonstrating to God how much he despises those people. It's literally like sulking in front of your dad because he told you to clean your room or something.
    Being swallowed by the fish was basically God giving Jonah the time to reflect on his decisions, and to consider if his beliefs are reasonable. After 3 days in the fish, he gets spit out at a place in walking distance to Nineveh: God still gives Jonah another chance to decide for himself whether to preach to them or not.
    As one commentor said, in the end Jonah did obey God and preached to Nineveh. The king of the city and all its citizens actually took Jonah's advice and everyone repented and turned over a new leaf. The moral of the story is, don't ever let our judgement override that of God. The thing about God is that He gives free will to everyone. He won't force you to do anything, but that doesn't mean He can't chastise you and show you the best way forward.

Maybe, the moral will still be followed by the end, where Adam realizes Mark, another one of the intruder’s “recruits,” still died, and so he really isn’t invincible, avoiding alternates (but not the intruder) from there on out.

    What if Adam is the child that was taken in “Intruder Alert”, and the female character that he is looking for is his mother, the one who took her life after being “distraught at the sight of her missing infant”. The Intruder is showing him his mother, and more importantly, what has become of her. She has become an alternate, and the intruder is trying to keep Adam sane while the voice of his mother mocks him through the ghost box. (AKA the thing the woman’s voice comes through). Adam says “I did the right thing” because the Intruder has already made sure he cannot contract M.A.D. I would like to point out that one of Alex Kister’s community posts seemed to be an updated version of all of the known alternates. One of which is the “Tulpa”. While most of the information is redacted, the mention of “screens and mirrors” seems to imply that whatever the intruder is is a “Tulpa”. But that may be the department of temporal phenomena may be misinterpreting what the intruder is. Happy theory crafting everyone!

      Felt the same here lol, I think it's because initially we don't know what's really happening, and that uneasiness brings the fear/anxiety that bothers us, but since matpat put a light on the whole thing it's not as scary as it seemed at first, even though it's not confirmed we now have a clue of what's actually going on. But that's just my guess anyway

  • @CesarTorres-qc2uh
    @CesarTorres-qc2uh Рік тому +7

    I feel like it's worth pointing out how Cesar's portrait appears alongside Mark's.
    I think it might mean he has some relation to Cesar, especially seeing as how Intruder got very specific in what he chose to show onscreen, and Cesar - alongside Mark - was part of that selection, despite Adam probably not knowing who either of them are.
    Intruder does allude to someone Adam DOES know, as pointed out by MatPat in this video.
    Something tells me there's something special about Adam, Cesar, and Mark.

      is horror more than jumpscares? of course. horror is more than just a reflexive, physiological reaction to something sudden or loud. but I think it's silly to dismiss jumpscares as unimportant or cheap tricks of the horror genre. creepiness that makes it hard to sleep or makes you feel like you're being watched is using the exact same physiological tools. we jump at jumpscares for the exact same reason it's hard to sleep after you watch something scary that gets under your skin.

    Here's a theory to build on this one, sorta.
    The Intruder is doing a pretty bad job at thinning the number of Alternates. Since he's the one stealing children, he is also the one causing the parents of said children to take their own lives as seen in a previous video. If those who take their own lives become alternates, if anything, the Intruder is creating more alternates.

    the theory that sits with me the best is that those who have MAD are ACTUALLY ALTERNATES and when they learn theyre alternates they get so "spooked" they off themselves. The three percent on the other hand come to terms with it and either 1) join the alternate cause or 2) fight against it knowing that they might have an advantage.
    oh and with the intruder i dont believe they are rivaling factions but they are working together. yes he said "you are a fool and stuff" but i think thats 1) a red herring or 2) something different. i think that the intruder takes a child, kills it, and then replaces it with an alternate copy and thats why adam "failed" the toddler assessment test.

    Edit: i want to give a small detail that before season 2 was released Alex acctually made a post on his UA-cam channel community post (about new teasers) that in 2005 there were two new type of alternates that is Tulpa and Mimic. Maybe in the Next episodes of the Mandela catalog we will see what these new two alternates are and what are they capable to do since most of their information is redacted. Also, its probably confirmed that the person that Jonah was talking about in part where he says "that She is gone" is probably Adam's Mother from the episode "The intruder". And One last thing is that the "Error 333" is acctually a part of the bible
