      i don't think cats have any relationship with a bear who survived the crash. these two cats barely do any role on story as much as the squidbeak splatoon. the bear follows it's desires with it's intelligence granted by dreamlike sleep for countless years. but if you ask me. i say both dream and space has one thing that is infinite times smarter than AI. Space virus. there's many kinds of viruses around space and earth. hence why viruses may be sick to humans but it could've also changed the sickness into something more... mysterious. which explains how mr grizz can afford all that.

    With how Splatoon emphasizes the diagetic nature of the Splatoon world, incorporating as much of the video game mechanics into the world building, I wouldn't be surprised Octarian society is legitimately content posing themselves as bad guys who live in obstacle courses. I mean, if Micheal Jackson was so insistent on being bad, why not they?

    Agent 4 wasn't in charge of the Spire's security as far as we know. Marina thought about making Agent 4 in charge of it, but it's never implied it went anywhere past that (as the Spire was never opened, we played during its private beta test of sorts). My guess? The dev diary that states that was from earlier in development when the devs were actually going to make that main Parallel Canon the real Agent 4 corrupted, but due to how bad Side Order's development was, with multiple delays, the story changing entirely from when it was first announced, and how much was cut from Side Order, they probably just left that in as it didn't conflict with anything.

    Also irt the tear reviving Craig, it's true that water IS lethal to inklings when they fall in it but that is due to their thin skin and osmotic pressure as confirmed in dev interviews. It seems that they can handle water just fine in small amounts or when partially submerged. Also, like all living things, inklings do need to consume water. The beverages they drink have some water in them. Don't blame you for getting confused tho. The games aren't really clear on how the water weakness works.

  • @AgentR2
    @AgentR2 Місяць тому +3

    The discussion surrounding the Agents is so fascinating and confusing to me. Everyone talks about them as important characters to the series the way they are beloved and desired to reappear... They’re just the player character. A silent protagonist for the player to see themselves in. Why would they even want to keep engaging in actual war against the octarians or other evils? Just play peaceful turf war. Especially 8; it makes sense they’d continue to be friends with OtH, maybe even Craig and Cpt 3, but I don’t see them returning to the life of combat they left their home to escape. Side Order handled their inclusion pretty well, but realistically it could’ve been any Ink/Octoling who got hacked in and faced the tower. 4 on the other hand makes very little sense to be in SO as they never had any connection to the cast of Octo Expansion. That’s why 4 exists, Marie needed someone while they were doing their own thing. Why wouldn’t OtH ask 3 for security help, especially since they showed their skill when saving 8 and fighting under Tartar’s control. Ultimately, I assume a large contributor to the agent’s popularity, regardless of their actual importance to lore or plot, is the fact that 3 first came back in Octo Expansion, and admittedly in a really cool way. However, if they keep bringing them back it will make each new one less special and fill the cast with empty characters. Personally, I hope we see a focus on brand new characters in future games, let the current ones have a rest and live their life. (Did not mean for that to be so long)

    • @goldengamer6474

      I think that's why people are so attached to them, they're the character's we've been around the longest, they are the actual main characters. I mean, that's why 4's special to me. I'm perfectly fine with new characters, but it's understandable why people don't want the agents to just be left behind.
      I still think 4 should have played a bigger role in Side Order, I feel the way they were added in was nice, with Cuttlefish mentioning them, but I still wanted more.
      Also, 3's busy being the leader of the Squidbeak Splatoon, so it's understandable why they couldn't really be head of security for the Memverse, they just don't have enough time.
      I definitely see where you're coming from though, and do think some of the old characters don't need as big a role in the next game, but I still want them to at least be mentioned somewhat, instead of forgotten.

    Kinda wish the "mammalians" be rabbits since rabbits are mammals and they multiply like crazy. and with power of fuzzy ooze surely the mammalians would adapt the power of inkling and octoling powers such as specials. rabbits would have more speed when swimming/digging. missed potential chance though because not a single sign of mammalian has been shown. even i don't see hairy fuzzy ooze as obstacles to dodge on each kettles but on rocket.
    also during the grand festival. not a single non humanoid octarian (EX:Octorooper) shown on the fest. just endless amount of jellyfish fans and inklings/octolings. sure there's DJ Octavio but where's the rest? sure some are fuzzied or sanitized but it feels like this kind of trend on enemy octarians didn't even get any new kind of skills or tactics. sure they have UFO and other mechs they can do. even steal zapfish easily while other inklings and octolings are carefree and not a care. would've been nice to see them hang around with jellyfishes and others. but instead remain trapped in kettles. not a sign of redemption. only genocide.
    Before Cuttlefish is drained. grizz told him that cuttlefish has a knowledge for years. such as wars/human/stuff. but cuttlefish doesn't seem to have any kind of biography or any knowledge he has saved on the books or somethin. he does have knowledge of past like great turf war though he doesn't seem to talk about it. i still wish to know why cuttlefish wants to prevent the octarians since they hardly caused any trouble on inkopolis!
    The Calamari Inkantation is a special song that makes every inklings and octolings gain bravery and valor to fight back the enemy and seize the goal. it also weakens the enemies. what if there's like a rogue inkling/octoling who'd instantly defeats/punches the idols easily as they end up splatted. showing that there are some vulnerbalities. it would be cool to see some punch for once. as for the music. i can imagine a sonic boom or high pitch noise breaking their focus
    so many missed potentials. all because of turf wars endless grind. would've been cool to have adventure updates or more bosses than just every 4 boss per adventure game. i need stronger enemies. more lore. our picks of our own specials and weapons.
    splatoon 4 is coming soon yea but not much update on adventures at all. just same thing over and over. ape escape does a better job than that.
