I believe this is how Jacob really is.. how he talks to Hugo and everybody else is his alter ego in a way. But he is actually himself when he's with his brother
@@JiZz2Xtreme He's shown this way to showcase the character development he went through. When he talked with his brotherin season 5 was he like that? No. Probably because that was tousand years after these events.
He was never evil, until he got pushed into the dark side of the source, then his soul got ripped from his body and he became one with the evil that lay beneath the island.
@@JewTube001 Defently. He never helped anybody, brought people to the island to die, killed Nadia, let Locke fall from a building etc. All MIB wanted was getting off the island. Then people said that means the end of the world bla bla, no we dont know that, we believe Jacob? MIB said nothing about destroying anything outside the island.
@@Holland4evahh yeah im watching these clips now and jacob seems like kind of a sadist wanting to bring everyone into his sick experiment while MIB just wanted leave and have his own life. his mother and brother tortured him and for no good reason.
Good question. It wasn't just the fact that he wanted to leave the island, its how he wanted to leave. He wanted to use the light of the island to try and leave. Basically, this light is the source of all good in the world and instead of helping jacob protect the light, he wanted to manipulate and use it for his own personal gain (ie. leaving the island). This makes him jacobs opposite
The island becomes their own version of backgammon, good vs evil, light vs dark. Over the centuries, they simply start playing the same game except with real people. MIB believes he can't leave the island without killing Jacob, but he isn't allowed to. That's one of the "rules" of their game. So they are stuck in a loop, playing the same game over and over, MIB tries to manipulate people over time to kill Jacob while Jacob tries to manipulate people over time to see him as the good guy protecting them from MIB, the smoke monster. And convincing them that the monster should never leave. In the end, it's hard to tell who is good and who is bad. They simply are what they are, playing a game, a real life version of backgammon. A lot of people didn't like that the story eventually delves deeply into myth and archetype, but it all makes sense.
I think they did become the embodiments of the ultimate game of good vs. evil. Jacob by becoming the Guardian of the Light, MiB by becoming the Smoke Monster. The rules that make it so they cannot harm each other is something their mother did. I believe part of being the Guardian of the Light means you have the ability to set certain rules in place on the Island, its one of the tools the Guardian can use to protect the Light. Once Jacob became Guardian, he kept that rule in place, to make it harder for MiB to leave, and also kept a steady stream of candidates rolling in, throwing more roadblocks into MiB's path to escape. That being said, I don't think Jacob tried to keep the MiB on the Island to manipulate people. The Smoke Monster might look and sound like his brother, but it isn't really him, it's something different. Their Mother said the Light existed in everyone, and this was the source of it all... where there is Light, there must be Darkness, everyone has some of both in them. I think the reason the Light is pooled into the area it is on the Island, is to hold back a similar source of Darkness, perfect balance. I think when Jacob killed his brother in anger, and then threw his dying body into the Light, his brothers consciousness imprinted on that Darkness, and allowed it to escape the Light, but still not leave the Island. Jacob knows he cannot release this evil into the greater world, but he also cannot kill something with his brother face again, due to guilt. So he hopelessly tries to show his "brother" the good, or Light, in humanity, while searching for a suitable replacement for the time when his brother eventually succeeds in killing him, who can do what he couldn't bring himself to do, kill his brother, and return to normal balance of Light and Dark to the source in the Island. Or that could be total horseshit, lol gotta love Lost theories!
@@KS-xk2so well Jacob did bring people on the island just to prove a point to MiB which eventually led to their death. Then he recruited Richard to be an advisor or whatever saying him that MiB is evil n can’t n shouldn’t escape the Island. But do we actually know that? They never showed MiB was evil or bad in any way. He killed those people coz they were playing their own game of proving their own points so Jacob is as much guilty as MiB for their deaths.
Across the Sea is fantastic connecting many dots throughout the show. This and the final episode answer many big questions in ways that are told without bogging the show down in terrible exposition. Many of the shows themes are present in Across the Sea. Its the origin of the story of lost. Nikki and Paulo may suck, but Expose is a very entertaining and fun episode with one of the creepiest twists in the whole show.
I think its so sweet how innocent jacob is, he just looks so sad and alone when MIB tells him he's leaving, he looks like a puppy thats just been left behind in the kennels :(
Always felt bad for MIB. All he ever wanted was to live a normal life and leave the Island, and Mother wouldn't let him go because of her selfishness, MIB killed her, Jacob killed him and then he became cursed to never leave the island. He's a tragic figure really
Right what did he really do wrong besides wanting to leave. Obviously he was evil at the end tryna to kill the candidates but when he was human what did he do beside wanting to leave lol
Her mother had the power to allow MiB to leave the island, but she didn't want to let her. In several chapters it is made very clear that Jacob is the one who decided that the plane passengers would arrive, and it was also he who allowed them to leave to give them reasons to return voluntarily seeing what their lives were like outside.If she had wanted, she could have given MiB freedom, but she always refused.
My favourite after ab aeterno, for sure. Emotion packed, with the Man in Black's determination... and the show that at the end of the day, the entire reason he's a threat is because jacob & their foster-mother forced him into that situation.
people gave this episode a lot of shit for not having much or any relevance to our plane crash survivors. I'd like to think this episode stands on its own for the origin of things to come (the inevitable Jacob vs his dead brother).
My question is: Who is Allison Janney's character meant to be? I mean, I get that this episode really helps explain the origin of Jacob and MIB, but what is Allison Janney's origin and why did she need to kidnap a couple of boys...?
@@noahtawil8793 But Hurley becomes the island's protector and Jacob doesn't try to separate him from the group of plane crash survivors, so why was it necessary to separate Jacob and MIB from their people...? Surely you could just let them all grow up together and then pick the best candidate to protect the island from the entire group. I just....., the random addition of the Allison Janney character just raises FAAAR more questions than it answers. 🤷♂️
Maybe it's obvious or someone has already said it but I just gotta say I dont think the smoke monster was really Jacob's brother because Jacob's brother died, jack and kate even found his body in a cave hundreds of years later. I think that the smoke monster just used his physical appearance to get an angle in with Jacob the way it did with Locke. Whatever that dark entity was just happened to want off the island like Jacob's brother.
@@user-hu9vi7nk1l The Smoke Monster starts to believe its the person it is when it's been them for long. It started using Lockes quotes, it has their memories. It did the same with Jacobs brother. It was already down the cave when Jacobs brothers dead body floated down. It took his form.
@@jimmyrustlerz He didn't use lockes quotes and he was literally the opposite of Locke. Jack even says "you're nothing like him". Jacob always refers to him as "him" not "it" dogan calls him an angry "man" and Richard says to sawyer that "man" is not John Locke. He tells Ben he wants to go home, the monster wouldn't consider the outer world its home. The writers had the idea of mib trapped by jacobs rules from the beginning. Mib tries to lead Jack off a cliff as his father, he chases arzt back to the black Rock to blowhimself up, he gave Locke a vision of the beach craft to lure boone inside. The writers re use lines frequently, mib wasn't using lockes quotes, Locke was using mibs quotes "don't tell me what I can't do" it was just a subtle reference to mib until it came full circle with mib saying it himself
erawa Exactly. If you feel really good in some place. This place is your home. MIB knew that his mother is not real mother and that he came from a place across the sea. He knew it and we as viewers knew it but Jacob did not. He blindly flowed his fake mother. Jacob is a bad guy in this series. MIB just want to leave and go home and its true the island is not his home.
Jacob leaves the Island all the time to get people to come to it, so some arguments below are flawed. Ricado is interesting in this dramatics of Jacobs and MiB.
not allowing the man in black to leave was a foster-mother's bullshit love - she wanted to keep her children close... and after that, jacob's mistake & bitterness. The MiB was completely screwed over there, for sure.
The take away from Lost is the importance of doing your best as a parent…all the main characters were lost as adults based on their childhood experiences with their parents that stayed with them as adults. Walt doesn’t have a chance 😢
I love the whole thing about the island-stoy being a type of "game". MiB set the rules for his board-game and tells Jacob he can make up the rules when he finds his own game. That "game" later being the one where he brings people to the island...
Of all the sad stories on lost, this has gotta be the saddest, the story of the MIB, after I dont know maybe like 200 years of being stuck on that rock and wanting to leave, he never got to, he died on that island, it must have been his greatest fear
I actually really enjoy the flashback episodes in the last season with Jacob and the MiB.. and Richard Alpert's back story was really effin cool.. I don't care what some people say, I wish they woulda made a few hundred more seasons of Lost..
A couple things I wish the final fight had done differently: I wish before the end of it, MiB somehow regained his original form (just say, I dunno, one of the tremors of the island allowed him to become "unstuck"). Then I wish it was the real Locke's spirit that showed up and helped Jack finally win, then, as MiB died, I wish he saw Jacob one last time and he extended a hand to make peace in the afterlife. The two opposites of two vastly different eras coming together finally in two different ways to end the whole conflict.
MiB: Mother is batshit crazy. *A minute later* ...but she was right about people being bad, which is pretty much all she ever talked about. I hate everyone even though I refer to them as 'my people'. *A minute later* ....but there are some really smart, curious people here. Thanks to them I am getting off the island. See, this is what happens when you try to tie everything together without having planned it out well beforehand. The various puzzle pieces don't match up.
Funny looking back on this scene after all these years and multiple reruns. It seems to me like this scene is like a microcosm of the whole journey of life..... Very cleverly written indeed.
A lot of the final series of Lost was actually very well written and put together, and if it either hadn't been the final season or hadn't had the previous seasons attached to it i think it would have been regarded very well. The reason people hate it is because it didn't do a good job of explaining all the mysteries that the showrunners had built up over the previous seasons, they botched some by giving shallow unsatisfactory answers and completely ignored others. But if you look at the quality of it in isolation it's very good, the finale would be considered top notch with it's emotional ending and wrapping up of every characters story in a decent manner if it didn't have the expectations that it did. And the same goes for a lot of the other things in that season.
Jacob really was in the wrong during this whole situation. What's so wrong about MIB wanting to leave? It's a bummer that you'd be stuck with the island protector job but it's not like Jacob had any plans of leaving. At this point he hadn't turned into the smoke monster yet so there wouldn't be too much danger in letting him join the real world. I just don't understand the conflict.
Wasn’t it their mom who stopped him from leaving? Jacob didn’t like it, but the mother was the one who killed everyone and buried the well. Jacob just made the mistake of lashing out in anger and killing his brother instead of letting him go. That was his mistake. It’s also why he gave the candidates a choice, since him and his brother basically had none, and he realized it too late
They always said if he left everyone the losties cared about was going to die, I dont know maybe if he left he'd kill all of em, it was pretty vague, I wish they'd have shown us like a future where MIB leaves the island so we'd have a better understanding what they were trying to stop
@VampireLord66 "Samuel" was the name given in the casting sheet just so people knew who/what they were auditioning for. It doesn't mean they ever considered actually giving MIB the name Samuel. I think the writers always wanted MIB to have no name. I mean, the character Jacob's name was actually "Jason" in the casting sheet - they didn't want people to know they were auditioning for "Jacob", but it still goes to show that names in a casting sheet mean nothing.
The actor who played the man in black said that the writers told him he has a name and that his name is important. So I figure they meant Adam as thats the name Locke gave them when they found his body. His mother never had a name either, so I figure it's eve
His intentions are not evil, but if he got off the island, he would take the rest of the evil with him. That is why he could only leave once the cork got taken out, he was chained to the evil until that happened. What actually happens when the evil gets back to the rest of the world is never explained, but there are theories on what would happen. Hurley says to Richard that if they dont stop the MiB then they all go to hell, aka no group huggings in the afterlife.
My guess is that the electromagnetism the island is containing would be unleashed, ending the world. Once the Man in Black was actually capable of leaving, he was made mortal just like any other human. But the removal of the cork containing the electromagnetism on the island would come out, releasing the energy and destroying the world, starting with the destruction of the island.
Jacob believes that people are good but he has only had two people who he actually knew his whole life. MIB is right and he knows it because he lived with other people besides his family.
MiB before becoming Smokey...sees others as a means to an end. NOTHING more. He fails to mention their ingenuity, their curiosity, their industriousness, their bonds of friendship. He has a very ONE-SIDED view of humanity. And it's actually "Mother's" fault. She killed their bio-mom, and taught them to fear, distrust and devalue other humans. When MiB learned that she killed their bio-mom, he left seeking answers to who he is and where he is from. Unfortunately, the damage was already done...Mother's view of people became his view of people. Jacob interestingly kept an objectivity about people. By viewing them from afar, keeping them outside of any personal relationship to them, he sees BOTH the good and the bad. MiB is trapped in his biased thinking as much as he is trapped on the Island by "Mother's" insistence that MiB not leave the Island. And as Smokey, his disdain for everyone and everything grows exponentially. For example, he killed Zoey for NO other reason than Charles told her not to talk. THIS made her useless to him...so he cut her throat because it made her "pointless" to him. THIS is how MiB saw people...as merely "a means to an end".
It is. That's the whole fuck you dogan sent to mib. Mib has been trying for 2000 years to get someone to stab Jacob like that and dogan does it to mib with 1 try. And with the same knife he killed mother with
Amen. Damon Lindelof is great at introducing mysteries to keep the viewer interested but he sucks at resolving those mysteries. To quote Hugo: "I think I know what these things are"
MiB just wants to leave. If the Mother wasn’t so crazy, lying saying the island is all there is, then things could have been so different. Imagine just wanting to leave an island and then your brother turns you into a smoke monster and you’re stuck unable to leave the island or die for 2000 plus years. Would make anyone crazy...
even if he left he would've been a great threat to the island, since he knows its secrets. it was the right move not to allow him to leave, also he's evil.
E C i was looking at it from a different perspective, the way i saw it, at the moment, was those shows are all great character centric and you hate that the series is over once you finish. So...yeah
@JacobTheProtector Actually they all said that they considered naming him Samuel and were going to make it public but then kept it out so that no one would know his real name (epic fail!)
@VampireLord66 And then they discontinued using the name 'samuel' in season six. So they obviously changed their mind about that too. Still, for those that know its a nice little piece of information.
He's about 2,000 years old when he dies. I'm pretty sure, however, that this scene was before he was immortal, so probably as old as he looks. As for his "mother", who knows. She's even more mysterious than Jacob and MiB.
Jacob's mother (Claudia), judging from her clothes, hairstyle, skin color and also the fact that she speaks only Latin, we can conclude that she and her people came from Rome. Back then the Island was probably in Mediterranean near the Italian Peninsula. So from that info, Jacob is about 3,000 to 2,000 years old
he just wanted to leave. and the island's protector could just have sent him away just like she brought them. it is possible for people to leave the island if the protector allows them. people couldnt leave the island easily because it was how jacob did things (as ben linus delicately put while talking to hurley) and he learned this behavior guess from whom? you are right! the previous protector, the murderer of his biological mother.

I love how the MIB calls everyone selfish and manipulative and then goes on to say that he's living with them just so he can use them for his own purposes. He doesn't even see the irony in his statement.

I love the whole thing about the island-stoy being a type of "game". MiB set the rules for his board-game and tells Jacob he can make up the rules when he finds his own game. That "game" later being the one where he brings people to the island...
I miss LOST, such a good show
Of all the sad stories on lost, this has gotta be the saddest, the story of the MIB, after I dont know maybe like 200 years of being stuck on that rock and wanting to leave, he never got to, he died on that island, it must have been his greatest fear
Even worse, it’s 2000 years of waiting because they are from Roman descent
aww at 1:10 jacob looks sooo cute and innocent!!! ^-^
i love these two :P
Jacob is like Buster from Arrested Development.
And MIB is GOB.
This is lowkey one of the best episodes in season 6. The finale is better, but this is easily top 5
best part about this scene is the epic theme and jacob is looking down on mib and construcktion side
"how are you gonna leave?"
"wagon wheel + water + the light from the pulp fiction briefcase + magnets"
"oh ok makes sense"
I actually really enjoy the flashback episodes in the last season with Jacob and the MiB.. and Richard Alpert's back story was really effin cool.. I don't care what some people say, I wish they woulda made a few hundred more seasons of Lost..
Nah the bomb worked at the end of season 5 and everything went on as if it never happened.
Jacon loves you.
A couple things I wish the final fight had done differently: I wish before the end of it, MiB somehow regained his original form (just say, I dunno, one of the tremors of the island allowed him to become "unstuck"). Then I wish it was the real Locke's spirit that showed up and helped Jack finally win, then, as MiB died, I wish he saw Jacob one last time and he extended a hand to make peace in the afterlife. The two opposites of two vastly different eras coming together finally in two different ways to end the whole conflict.
Watch totally lost. It's a parody but its the closest thing to a flash sideways resolution for them
This is easily the best scene in lost, out of all seasons.
I love the sounds of the game their playing.
Such great asmr
@@TheSilentknight1520 I absolutely agree.
Unintentional asmr is the most natural.
They got a good barber on the island
MiB: Mother is batshit crazy.
*A minute later*
...but she was right about people being bad, which is pretty much all she ever talked about. I hate everyone even though I refer to them as 'my people'.
*A minute later*
....but there are some really smart, curious people here. Thanks to them I am getting off the island.
See, this is what happens when you try to tie everything together without having planned it out well beforehand. The various puzzle pieces don't match up.
Letsplay222 lol maybe Mib stands for “ mother is batshit”
What stupid comment is this🤦🤦
They're almost child-like.
metal behavin' strangly. Loved this episode!
Funny looking back on this scene after all these years and multiple reruns. It seems to me like this scene is like a microcosm of the whole journey of life..... Very cleverly written indeed.
A lot of the final series of Lost was actually very well written and put together, and if it either hadn't been the final season or hadn't had the previous seasons attached to it i think it would have been regarded very well. The reason people hate it is because it didn't do a good job of explaining all the mysteries that the showrunners had built up over the previous seasons, they botched some by giving shallow unsatisfactory answers and completely ignored others. But if you look at the quality of it in isolation it's very good, the finale would be considered top notch with it's emotional ending and wrapping up of every characters story in a decent manner if it didn't have the expectations that it did. And the same goes for a lot of the other things in that season.
Jacob really was in the wrong during this whole situation. What's so wrong about MIB wanting to leave? It's a bummer that you'd be stuck with the island protector job but it's not like Jacob had any plans of leaving. At this point he hadn't turned into the smoke monster yet so there wouldn't be too much danger in letting him join the real world. I just don't understand the conflict.
Wasn’t it their mom who stopped him from leaving? Jacob didn’t like it, but the mother was the one who killed everyone and buried the well. Jacob just made the mistake of lashing out in anger and killing his brother instead of letting him go. That was his mistake. It’s also why he gave the candidates a choice, since him and his brother basically had none, and he realized it too late
@@johnepants He was guilty of manipulating and letting the Others kill and cause havoc. He acted so high and mighty, yet he was no better.
War and Lucifer hanging out
Great comment! Id never thought of it that way.
Expose and Across the Sea are fantastic. Two of the shows best. Yes im serious
They always said if he left everyone the losties cared about was going to die, I dont know maybe if he left he'd kill all of em, it was pretty vague, I wish they'd have shown us like a future where MIB leaves the island so we'd have a better understanding what they were trying to stop
Enlil and Enki
MIB best character in the show
Refreshing to see Mark Pellegrino play a good guy.
@Daddy I know. But I feel like he usually plays bad guys instead of good guys.
@VampireLord66 "Samuel" was the name given in the casting sheet just so people knew who/what they were auditioning for. It doesn't mean they ever considered actually giving MIB the name Samuel. I think the writers always wanted MIB to have no name. I mean, the character Jacob's name was actually "Jason" in the casting sheet - they didn't want people to know they were auditioning for "Jacob", but it still goes to show that names in a casting sheet mean nothing.
The actor who played the man in black said that the writers told him he has a name and that his name is important. So I figure they meant Adam as thats the name Locke gave them when they found his body. His mother never had a name either, so I figure it's eve
@VampireLord66 No wrong. The Characters name is "Man in Black". Samuel was just so the production team knew who they were talking about.
YEAH BITCH! MAGNETS, OH!
"Greedy. manipulative. untrustworthy, selfish." True.
Barry was a wild man 🤣
i thought the sawyer pulling the rope from the ground were the well was would be here.
14 years later Hindsight - I wish Titus Weaver would've played MIB for all of season 6.
Never understood that show.
MiB wasn't evil until Jacob pushed him into the light. Jaxob ultimately regretted it in the end, Such a great show.
His intentions are not evil, but if he got off the island, he would take the rest of the evil with him. That is why he could only leave once the cork got taken out, he was chained to the evil until that happened.
What actually happens when the evil gets back to the rest of the world is never explained, but there are theories on what would happen. Hurley says to Richard that if they dont stop the MiB then they all go to hell, aka no group huggings in the afterlife.
My guess is that the electromagnetism the island is containing would be unleashed, ending the world. Once the Man in Black was actually capable of leaving, he was made mortal just like any other human. But the removal of the cork containing the electromagnetism on the island would come out, releasing the energy and destroying the world, starting with the destruction of the island.
He says they're terrible - yet when he returns to the village later on to find them all dead you can see that he's devastated.
Probably moreso because he knew he'd never get off the island
Jacob believes that people are good but he has only had two people who he actually knew his whole life. MIB is right and he knows it because he lived with other people besides his family.
MiB before becoming Smokey...sees others as a means to an end. NOTHING more. He fails to mention their ingenuity, their curiosity, their industriousness, their bonds of friendship. He has a very ONE-SIDED view of humanity. And it's actually "Mother's" fault. She killed their bio-mom, and taught them to fear, distrust and devalue other humans. When MiB learned that she killed their bio-mom, he left seeking answers to who he is and where he is from. Unfortunately, the damage was already done...Mother's view of people became his view of people. Jacob interestingly kept an objectivity about people. By viewing them from afar, keeping them outside of any personal relationship to them, he sees BOTH the good and the bad. MiB is trapped in his biased thinking as much as he is trapped on the Island by "Mother's" insistence that MiB not leave the Island. And as Smokey, his disdain for everyone and everything grows exponentially. For example, he killed Zoey for NO other reason than Charles told her not to talk. THIS made her useless to him...so he cut her throat because it made her "pointless" to him. THIS is how MiB saw people...as merely "a means to an end".
Everything dies
seems like same dagger that Dogen gave to Said
It is. That's the whole fuck you dogan sent to mib. Mib has been trying for 2000 years to get someone to stab Jacob like that and dogan does it to mib with 1 try. And with the same knife he killed mother with
0:15... scares me
In a comedic short shown at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2011, The Man in Black is "revealed" to be named Barry
Thats just a parody though. His name is adam
watching this in chronological order is fn insane
Such a good scene
Amen. Damon Lindelof is great at introducing mysteries to keep the viewer interested but he sucks at resolving those mysteries. To quote Hugo:
"I think I know what these things are"
MiB just wants to leave. If the Mother wasn’t so crazy, lying saying the island is all there is, then things could have been so different. Imagine just wanting to leave an island and then your brother turns you into a smoke monster and you’re stuck unable to leave the island or die for 2000 plus years. Would make anyone crazy...
even if he left he would've been a great threat to the island, since he knows its secrets. it was the right move not to allow him to leave, also he's evil.
this is the best episode ever
Jacob and his mother knew the way out of island but just for bringing new people for this island, MIB wanted just leave this island
The music change at 1:40 is epic!
@daman1233 4,000+ years old. If it's set somewhere around 2,000BC then it's more than 4,000 years ago.
Can someone please suggest me a show like Lost?? i love this show with all my heart and i hated to see it end
R N Battlestar Galactica, Oz, the wire
@@acerpro101 he said... LIKE LOST!... so no... sorry man.
E C i was looking at it from a different perspective, the way i saw it, at the moment, was those shows are all great character centric and you hate that the series is over once you finish.
So...yeah
There is no show like lost...
the 100?
@TheLazareth Well, we did and didn't. It certainly confirmed a lot of speculation, just as Richard's episode did.
@Transformers217 Where did you get that date from?
may God love you, as he loved Jacob!!
Jacob or mib should have been Claire’s son, it would have made more sense
This like naruto, Kaguya is mother and these two are hagaramo and his brother
ooooh alright. That makess sense. thanks man.
@JacobTheProtector Actually they all said that they considered naming him Samuel and were going to make it public but then kept it out so that no one would know his real name (epic fail!)
@VampireLord66 And then they discontinued using the name 'samuel' in season six. So they obviously changed their mind about that too.
Still, for those that know its a nice little piece of information.
How old is jacob ? or his adopted mother?
He's about 2,000 years old when he dies. I'm pretty sure, however, that this scene was before he was immortal, so probably as old as he looks. As for his "mother", who knows. She's even more mysterious than Jacob and MiB.
Jacob's mother (Claudia), judging from her clothes, hairstyle, skin color and also the fact that she speaks only Latin, we can conclude that she and her people came from Rome. Back then the Island was probably in Mediterranean near the Italian Peninsula. So from that info, Jacob is about 3,000 to 2,000 years old
@@craftalaser id like to think she's of ancient Greek times or earlier
This scene was set in 44 AD so he was almost 2000 years old when he died
@darkcapacity1133 the girl that got blown up her name is Ilana
@Damon242 Oh I know they discontinued it, but I still refer to him as Samuel.
Imagine everyone hating you for wanting to get off a deserted island and see the world.
Valuable point
all life ceases to exist if he does so ☹
greedy, manipulative, untrustworthy, selfish. the only reason why humans can still stand each other is what MiB was saying "means to an end".
"Live together, or die alone."
What the hell is Bosch talking about?
The light actually killed him the real him is dead the monster or black smoke turn into anyone that is dead thus him being Jacobs nemesis
he just wanted to leave. and the island's protector could just have sent him away just like she brought them. it is possible for people to leave the island if the protector allows them. people couldnt leave the island easily because it was how jacob did things (as ben linus delicately put while talking to hurley) and he learned this behavior guess from whom? you are right! the previous protector, the murderer of his biological mother.
Gidemez kanka giderse dünyadaki iyilik ve kötülük dengesi değişir daha derin şeyler var uzun uzun yazamam. Hz muhammed in bir denizciden dinlediği bir olay var yine böyle esrarengiz bir adayla ilgili. Google a yaz çıkar
Love you Jacob !
@daman1233 Oh, I thought I had reposted on that one.
Yes, they are approximately just over 2,000. I hate the date wrong.
I like these 2 guys because they have sibling revalued with eachother but they make it good because it between good and evil that what make this show good and I don't care for the guy with the black shirt and gray hair that much but the other guy is good but probably in real life they are nice and that but just because this one guy plays evil character you may love and hate or just one dose not mean he is a bad actor because he is not and I like it because it is interesting and I love interesting shows like this and I love this scene love it ❤
I love how the MIB calls everyone selfish and manipulative and then goes on to say that he's living with them just so he can use them for his own purposes. He doesn't even see the irony in his statement.
i feel like this has to do with CERN
Take a physics class, please
I feel so bad for MIB. just wants to leave the island. he shouldn't of told anyone about it
Well he's the devil, him leaving would mean the end for the island and the world.
@landenundertakerfan Well MIB and Jacob were born in the year 23 AD.
@FanaticmusicMatt Lol, funy how that works out for the MIB in the end (taking the form of Locke).
