8:48 this reminds me of the bo3 zombies quote in revelations with dr Monty. “Okay fellas if you've been paying. Attention or even if you haven't it should be abundantly Clear that things are seriously out of whack.”
Maybe the Shadowsmiths are the Shadowmans workers and are sent out to bring Ava to him and that was one of them in the Mirror? In the Dark Aether anything could happen. Its all to exciting! I cant wait to see the teaser trailer tomorrow!
@@Im-guy There is that 1% chance still. Also there's a recording saying some survived the Dark Aether and managed to go to another world. But yeah Victis left the scene without knowing if they died or survived. Maybe they're the Shadowmans Shadowsmiths now bound to him in the Dark Aether.
Honestly, I think you've got it right here. It seems to make sense the "He" referred to in the voice is The Man himself and his "Smiths" make the world as he sees fit!
I'm from West Virginia, and there are rumors in my area that Liberty Falls is based in Harper's Ferry, WV. That's only like 20 mins from where I live, and it's pretty cool if thats true.
What a lovely place that is! Furthermore, if Harpers Ferry is the setting, this may be an epic map, which is encouraging since new zombie maps-rather than campaign maps that have been zombieized-are being released. @_chrisbuzz
I think it's been kind of known for a while that it's based on Harper's Ferry. At this point, it's more than rumors😊. I don't think it's been officially confirmed by activision but a few UA-cam videos "proved" the similarities of the map and the real town. You can be proud and excited to be from the area 😊
Richtofen DOES still have the eyebrow scar in the file photo, the image compared to the Cold War cutscene is flipped for some reason so it’s on his right eyebrow just by Ava’s hair. You can tell the image is flipped by looking at which way his hair is parted.
Mann watching all these videos and genuinely getting hyped over zombies brings me back to my like 13-14 year old self when we were getting all the trailers and teasers for b03 and can’t wait to play this game
So ghosts can only enter from outside, even tho most ghosts stories involve them dying inside a haunted place? The rules made up about ghosts always amused me
I just want Maxis to get a happy ending, poor girl has been through hell twice over literally, just constantly losing everything, MWZ insinuates that she's been trapped in the aether since the 80's and therefore 400 years, and no matter what we do, we don't get to save her
The picture at the end showing liberty falls. The roof right shows a water tower and buildings that show similar features to the background of the shadowy figure that appears in the mirror
The pose he’s in is very clearly referencing the shadowman holding his cane at the beginning of SOE. I’m excited to see him again! As some people have speculated, maybe the Shadowsmiths are creatures who serve him, aka he, the shadowman
Yo the concept of the shadow man is perfect for the DARK aeather. Revelations intro quote “the apothicons the most powerful beings in the entire universe and every universe”
@@Aethernium Yeah I think I remember seeing that! We’re so back 🧟♂️ Edit - just thought about that a bit more… Origins was littered with element 115… Treyarch and their cryptic hints lol gotta love em
I don't believe the photo present on the Project Janus incident report is supposed to be Richtofen but the person who interviewed Miller. Whom is named Blanchard J.
Wow I was coming into the comment section seeing the cowboy hat and was gonna jokingly say “it’s old Jeb Brown, the blacksmith” just for Jon to begin mentioning him, I can’t believe this is an actual consideration
Iconic is a concept referring to something that is well known to a large or specific group of people. If you never heard of it, you're an outsider 😊. Scenes in some movies that one has never seen are still iconic (to other people) regardless of one person's perception. FYI
Imagine liberty falls is a map that will get new points of interest added over time and it ends up being built into transit. Bc it’s totally a reimagining of town.
The blueprint next to the wunderwaffe blueprint possibly looks like the pylons maxis and Richthofen were using to enhance their control of the aether in BO2.
7:20 hear me out……… Buried 2.0…….. based on the look of the buildings in the background matching the time period of the western town (just better condition) and, as he described “water tower”, WHAT IF they give us a Buried map that is BEFORE the town was buried underground and it DOES tie into the blacksmith that built the pack a punch, BUT they give us the story line that explains what LED UP to the town becoming buried BUT it also ties into the CURRENT storyline explaining why this shadow figure that resembles a western figure is actually here now and involved? 🤔 just a thought…. *clears throat* hear me out treyarch 🤷🏻
Imma just point out that the hand that reached out has stitched on the wrist of the sleeve like a hoodie would have maybe like Samantha’s hoodie she wore in forsaken
Liberty falls... why does it keep being stuck in my head? its like you have already spoken about liberty falls, but a long time ago during the BO4/BO3 hype.
About the blueprint to the left of the Wunderwaffe DG-2; what if it's for the Wunderwaffe DG-Scharfschütze? Since the base Wunderwaffe was invented by a different person the Cold War timeline, future Richtofen could've found schematics for it in an archive somewhere and began making adjustments.
@ 1:52 you can clearly see its not the shadow man and is instead more likely, Samantha. The arm has the same grey sweatshirt on as Sam did in Forsaken.
8:42 we know for sure that’s the shadow man in the mirror! I remember those words! "It has become abundantly clear" that’s a hint Treyarch enjoy throwing hints like that
Shadowsmiths, cosmic bounty hunters that hunt down anything from the old timelines. doesnt explain where they came from, but sounds like a cool concept.
could be doctor grey that grabbed ava because their souls are there, and they probably went there to be able to help her and find sam i think she will be the key to finding her, plot twist though what if this was richtofens plan all along
That will be crazy if Samantha is the one that grab her. Wanted connect with her. Could it be she went into portal for her help or caused portal s had zombies appear in liberty falls.
If it is ShadowMan, this would be a good opportunity to bring back Monty as well. We never had a proper closure between them, we don’t know what they’ve been doing in the dark Aether all this time, and there are some story elements between Monty and ShadowMan that were not fully explained either. I hope treyarch takes this opportunity to finish their story
It makes sense that the shadow man can take a different figure to try to trick her into thinking that Sam is reaching out for her since her sisters want Ava in the DA and Sam is also in there as well👀
Some says it maybe linked to the last miller radio record that in the end of the radio she says "a group of riders found her" i forgot the group name but some says that the mirror is someone of them amd if you look sharp you can see a bike " maybe blood burnner " maybe these group of riders have links to dark aether & maybe its dr grey because raveniov said i shouldnt be the one who stayed behind i think that means that the went somewhere else
Now that you show the intro cutscene for modern warfare 3 zombies. My question is what happened to the rest of the vials that Victor zekeyave took. Like when they open up the machine to expose the vials they were only two what happened to the rest of them
There is a video with all the MW3 zombies history? I didn't play any cod game since BO4 but now with BO6 I'm cathching up and result needed to know Cold War, Vanguard and now MW3 smbut this last i couldn't find a video with all the story if anybody know one I'll appreciate it!
If this is the shadow man or anything to do with him can you imagine the POSSIBLITIES of whoever else may still be roaming in the dark aether after all this time? Man bo6 cannot come soon enough
im really hoping it turns out richtofen can remember all his OG homies and is trying to bring them back. there would be no arm in it too because we know their sacrifice didnt do anything
Pericles and Panos are both Greek names. Is it possible that part of that other blueprint (namely the piece on the bottom) is the Antikythera Mechanism?
If the Shadowman can come back, it just begs my question of why can’t they bring back Ultims and/or Premise. They Chaos, Victus is trapped still so I don’t see it as unlikely. On one hand, I respect them for letting them rest but on the other if you’re willing to bring back The Shadowman…i don’t see why you wouldn’t want to bring them back.
Because the shadowman is powerful enough to live in the dark eather and the crew are good at survival but the eather will corrupt their bodys and they wont survive for that long.

You know what they say, third times the charm.
The summoning key is broken
Clearly he has dementia and needs to be taken back to the cosmic old folks home like the Forsaken, Monty will probably need to go at some point too.

If the shadowsmith is a blacksmith. He may be aswell Sparagmos, the one who created Chrysalax.
