im so glad someone finally noticed the graying. i was getting worried. but yeah im so excited to see where mumbo takes it. its def intentional with him updating the skin ever so often. i mean even grian noticed
I noticed it because it’s the same skins he used back in season 6 of hermicraft. Him and Grian refused to sleep in game, so every so often there skin would update to show the exhaustion and such
I think Mumbo wanted to change his default skin to something noticeably different and came up with a storyline to explain it. He's dying, because reasons, and it is being expressed as significant premature aging, so he's investing in mind-swap tech so he can move from his dying body to one that isn't dying.
Btw, have not finished the video yet.I have the feeling that mumbo is ALL the people in the town, just different iterations of himself, at different times. This is why Willy senior is dead. Willy Jr is obsessed with Spoons just like Mumbo. We never see anyone else, and this could be explained by the fact that himself is the only one we know and see.
OHHHHH, this sparkled an idea in my mind. So when in ss8, he absorbed grian's soul to become human again; getting grian's waffle. AND IN SS10 GRIAN'S SOUL IS RUNNING OUT SO HE NEED ANOTHER SOUL OR HE WOULD RETURN TO [you are what you eat] LIFESTYLE
The ending clip in the ship showing the hermits in a simulation was on a ship that brought them from one season to the next. Each season is canonically a sim and the ship gets longer after each season as it houses a small museum for each season.
The nether portal grian goes through at the end of season 9 goes to the nether (obviously) but there’s mine carts and portals everywhere, under a lava lake too
Not every season was a simulation in Doc’s lore, just S8. S9 and S10 are canonically real, as far as we know. The ship does transport them from each season, though.
@falllemon Yeah, the simulation between seasons is meant to keep their minds sharp while moving to the next world. S8 was sort of a miniseason cut short due to the Caves and Cliffs updates, hence the moon crashing plotline, and RenDoc's arc had the Hermatrix ARG thingy being part of finding and solving a glitch/contamination that threatened to wipe out the Hermits' creativity, with a teaser that it's not gone, it's on the outside of the ship somewhere, and Ren's been leaning more into that sci-fi aspect of things since his S7 Star Wars base, Hermatrix in S8, and his GigaCorp plotline that he started in S8, but IIRC got sidetracked during the Empires Crossover, and foiled due to Doc taking the "Genesis Block" (0, 0, 0 coords block) early in the season to make a turtle egg zombie trap as a prank.
In his latest video the title was "ITS ALIVE" [I think that's right] and at first this makes it just seem like he is giving a little life to his build, since he was adding smoke to the build and just making it more detailed, but now I'm starting to think it's meant to be referring to him giving himself life? like the factory is actually made to make him live longer? and he's making something that's meant to suck the life out of the world, and using it to make himself age slower, since all around surplus mega-corp the grass is dead, and there are leaking pipes around the base, whatever it is leaking out of them is killing everything around them, so maybe could also be a poison? and my final thought is they could be trying to make things switch bodies, like with the chicken and villager, so maybe mumbo will swap with another hermit like Grian? Anyway that's just a theory [a game theory] Also the "for a better future" could be referring to him, mumbo [or maybe other people too?]. giving him a better future [as in he wont die early or smth, agian this is just a thought dump]
I think that the chemical runoff is traveling downstream into gem and grian's area, causing the beast under gem's base to awaken, and grian slowly losing his mind by consuming contaminated fish, causing fisherman grain (and maybe even permit office grain) to act the way they do
In Mumbo's latest episode, he built a bulletin board in the center of the town with some posters. One sign advertised that Mined was beginning human testing. My question is: is Mumbo going grey BECAUSE of Mined? Or is Mined meant to stop Mumbo from greying? Because Mined's thing is that they're trying to expand longevity yet they're doing the opposite and Mumbo is aging faster.
5:52 Just a heads up: If subtitles are enabled, this scene is hard to understand because the youtube subtitles cover the in video subtitles (at least on mobile), and the text on the screen isn't narrated, so the youtube subtitles don't update.
Something worth noting, all of the skins Mumbo uses for the Mined advertisements are all Minecraft-ified versions of the NPCs from Half Life. If you recall the events of Half Life, the Resonance Cascade happens, which opens portals to another world, unleashing a deadly parasitic monsters Headcrabs, and eventually leading to the Combine conquering the Earth. Perhaps something is going to go horribly wrong, and this is Mumbo's way of alluding to it... that or Mumbo just chose them because they're very science-y, almost "stock" models, but being a filmographer, I feel like every choice Mumbo makes is intentional.
If you haven’t yet, I really recommend watching “Grian’s lore on hermitcraft is INSANE” by Animagician. He Discusses hermitcraft 9 lore like who mumbo really is and it could give a backstory to what is happening now.
If Mined is transferring and storing consciences and Hermitcraft is a simulation, Docm77 could be Mumbo so what if Hermitcraft members are the villagers (or their conscience) and Mumbo's content shows this. He knows this so his time is running out, which is why he is greying
8:00 that sounds terrible for the work brain. Like, for the non-work brain its like you just get money despite doing nothing. Sure you lose a few hours of your day but does it really matter? Whereas the work brain is like - you exist to work. You only work. Work is all you know. No breaks. Ever. Wild.
The idea of mumbos mind being stored is especially interesting when u think about some of his redstone creations this season. For example, that machine he made for storing all of his redstone ideas he has created...
Mumbo as a villain is actually pretty cool! Best part, we get mumbo villain fanart maybe. Also ur editing is awesome and have anyone told u ur voice sounds nice?
Mumbo either has a grand lore plot planned or he's just taking a random joke and running with it 😆 Edit: i just realized that there is a huge coincidence between the whole goal of Mined and Mumbo's little "dedication" to the Moon in season 8. Basically there have been real world studies that suggest when you deprive yourself of sleep, you slowly kill your braincells associated with learning and memories, so that could be a great reason for him trying to store his mind in a database if the theory is correct.
Something interesting to note is this is the first season mumbo doesn't have the waffle on the back of his head since season 8 when he stole grians soul because he wanted to be human again.
Hey, sorry if im wrong, but at the end of the text on the mined poster i thought i heard you say "living tigether", whilst "living forever" is actually written, which further proves your claim of maybe storing minds in some sort of storage and mumbo's need to stop the graying by living forever
I really thought this video was going to be one of those videos but as I can see I was wrong. I hope to see more from you because this was a really interesting video to watch.
I noticed it because it’s the same skins he used back in season 6 of hermicraft. The “Moon Big” phase of it. Him and Grian refused to sleep in game, so every so often there skin would update to show the exhaustion and such
Okay, I see what you're putting down and I appreciate the depth of your research. I'm subed to this channel now because I gotta see what you come out with next on this. ❤
You say that Mumbo has done all this stuff, but all I see is you experimenting on chickens and villagers to "reenact" what you think he is doing in the lab... who's the real villain here???
Wonder if he is running a long story to give people something to remember his time on hermitcraft. He might be leaving after this season and to run a meta story and have other hermits play into it either something allows him to stay and keep making content or he decides season 10 is a good place to settle down and focus on different projects perhaps IRL. The biggest hint regardless I think is in fact severance. He could not realize he is already a pawn in mined and there is a hidden story we haven’t picked up on where his alter ego doesn’t know what he does while at work. His personal investigation into this will lead to one of two paths…keep trucking on and fall to the corporate machine or solve the crisis and save magic mountain, himself, and hermitcraft as a whole…because as we know the tendrils of mined are finding roots among the other hermits.
As cool as this would be, I don't think this is the direction Mumbo will go in. If he does, then I'll be really happy because it's a really interesting idea, but I feel like it's a bit too dark for his channel. Keep in mind, the majority of his audience are kids. Not just adults pretending to be kids like me. I think Mumbo would want to keep things light-hearted. However, I could be wrong. If Mumbo has the balls to do it, I respect it. Edit: This is just my opinion. You can disagree
id actually say its the one thing mumbo might actually be doing, its not that dark... mumbo can ded, mumbo try not to ded plus long time viewers of mumbo can probably tell whatever it is going to be, its gonna be a twist
Imo I don’t think it’s that dark? Evil corporation doing evil corporation things is a plot thread in like half of all kid’s movies nowadays. Also don’t forget the Season 8 finale and lowkey how messed up it was if you think about it too hard lol (especially the players who didn’t escape…) I think Mumbo could tactfully handle a darker storyline but keep it okay for kids.
@ it isnt that dark if you take it at face value, its just a good story. if you see further into it then it definitely seems darker than usual for mumbo, but isnt super dark
I like all of your theories better, I thought he might be quitting UA-cam and I was so stressed about that I’ve just been ignoring the whole ‘mumbo is getting older’ bit.
This is a great video but I think you've misread the last line of the Mined poster. It reads "Soon we will be living forever." not "... living together." I think this alludes more to digitising consciousnesses as you already mentioned. Regardless this was an entertaining and well produced video so thank you for contributing to the community.
The very end of ep. 20 also supports this theory, he says something like "my redstone contraptions have been restored, and I can live on forever!" Also, this is a very well-crafted video. :)
The old Scientist is making me think of Somic 3 maybe the older scientist is related to Mumbo and he was helping said scientist at first but once he realized how bad the plan was, he started working against him. Although he could be yet to make that realization yet.
11:12 It sounds like „Mind“ when spoken. 12:36 maybe he’s regretting stuff. Or he did something where he needs the lab. Might be exponential aging. Did anyone ever mess with time in the quasi connected lore multiverse?
Mumbo being one of the youngest on the server irl:
pretty sure pearl is the youngest, gem is a month older than pearl and gem is 29(i think)
But acting like one of the oldest:
@@themineguy1234 You're only off by a year. Gem and Pearl are both 28 (with Pearl being younger) and Mumbo is 29.
@@Nekobaby For some reason I was sure they were both 27. All I know is that Gem and Pearl are preetyy much twins
LMAO XD that's so true
Plot twist mumbo is running out of black hair dye
im so glad someone finally noticed the graying. i was getting worried. but yeah im so excited to see where mumbo takes it. its def intentional with him updating the skin ever so often. i mean even grian noticed
Mad scientist at the laboratory. Some lore going on
He tried to remove the waffle but it was the only thing keeping him young
I remember noticing it months back and thought it was weird. It started out with just a little, but now it's really gray
@Frugthereal😢
I noticed it because it’s the same skins he used back in season 6 of hermicraft. Him and Grian refused to sleep in game, so every so often there skin would update to show the exhaustion and such

Foreshadowing a new skin perhaps? 🤔
@@Psychosis.Machineohhhh mabey
Woah I really like this theory
i just realised thats exactly what @snoodledumpling4486 just said lol, sorry 🤣
Btw, have not finished the video yet.I have the feeling that mumbo is ALL the people in the town, just different iterations of himself, at different times. This is why Willy senior is dead. Willy Jr is obsessed with Spoons just like Mumbo. We never see anyone else, and this could be explained by the fact that himself is the only one we know and see.
So basically its a mumbo town where everyone is clones of mumbo?
And he doesnt even realize?
@@Yipper64 Or, maybe, everyone is the same Mumbo.
Mumbo has become a potato before. I'm not that worried
OHHHHH, this sparkled an idea in my mind. So when in ss8, he absorbed grian's soul to become human again; getting grian's waffle. AND IN SS10 GRIAN'S SOUL IS RUNNING OUT SO HE NEED ANOTHER SOUL OR HE WOULD RETURN TO [you are what you eat] LIFESTYLE

Is the K for "Kills a lot"? Because that's a hilarious reference
It is
yep :)
He's just stressed from dealing with Grian and Scar's shenanigans.
Genuinely one of the best and highest quality small UA-camrs I have ever seen
I wonder if it has anything to do with him switching from the mumbo jumbo account to just mumbo or he doesn't have the grian waffle anymore
Random thought: what if the brain separating thing from the 'Severence' show means he's been split into 'Mumbo' and 'Jumbo'?
@@haileystraub9041 that's an interesting (and kind of unnerving) thought! :o
this is insanely underrated- the video is such good quality??
It says "forever" not "together". I think he's uploading his mind to join with mumbot to become immortal in a machine!
please make this into a series as we get more evidence, i would love to see more of this!
I second this motion, pretty please? ❤

I should get caught back up on Mumbo’s videos.

the editing on this video is absolutely amazing, so underrated!!!
Really like your video and theorizing! Definitely something shady going on with Mined. Cant wait to see where this goes next
If you haven’t yet, I really recommend watching “Grian’s lore on hermitcraft is INSANE” by Animagician. He Discusses hermitcraft 9 lore like who mumbo really is and it could give a backstory to what is happening now.
his hair isnt graying, its silvering. the iron from his shop has come in contact with his pneumophobic hair and thats why it cant rust and stays gray
The only reason I’ve been so into Mumbo lore is because I went on NameMC and saw he had worn a half life scientist skin and needed to see why
If Mined is transferring and storing consciences and Hermitcraft is a simulation, Docm77 could be Mumbo so what if Hermitcraft members are the villagers (or their conscience) and Mumbo's content shows this. He knows this so his time is running out, which is why he is greying

Very well made. I barely even picked up on this, i will be following your vids closely, keep it up! You just earned a sub
Great video mate 👍🏻 Loved the conclusion, hope Mumbo sees this it's really interesting!

I love the detail where the office u are monologue is slowly getting more over grown
I’m loving YT finding smaller channels to feed me. Interested to see where this one goes.
took me a second to realize this was about minecraft
I guess the Boulder Bros don't exist.

This actually makes sense, I was wondering why he looked so old
Good vid! Only real advice i would give is to use some sort of sound proofing for you mic rather if its AI or physical but the editing style is great
I didn't even notice any of that! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
So....
The plot of portal, give or take a few details?
9:30 last time someone messed with AI and human consciousness was Aperture, and we all know how that went...
the origin story of this univers Grumbot
he did say in seson 9 that a univers without Mumbo was meaningless
what if mumbo IS Grumbot
Mumbo adding concept of agong to minecraft as a whole
this is genuinely such a well made video
why is the bottem left corner covered during the mumbo clips?
I like all of your theories better, I thought he might be quitting UA-cam and I was so stressed about that I’ve just been ignoring the whole ‘mumbo is getting older’ bit.
NO MUMBO!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN HES DYING😭😭
You know the old scientist looks awfully similar to mambo
Good video! Subscribed.
whats that gray box in the corner?
1:13 Not my dumbass thinking this was a Binding of Isaac floor layout
Gems satellite on her reach facility points to mumbo’s lab
He became a potato, he became a pig, and he became a waffle.
But that's just a theory! A Hermicraft theory!
Really awesome video btw
video title was a mild jumpscare
Ur background was slowly dieing i cant be the only one who noticed look!
0:57 - 13:24 WHATTTT
Ahh, the Half-Life scientists
10:25 there is a company able of putting someones consciousness into other bodies
You should check more often
radiation poisoning

this is some aperture science type stuff
13:09 I think that's suppose to be one of the scientist models from the original Half-Life. Even the tie matches up.
Your pink cape when you crouch looks like blush 😅😊
Did anyone else notice the green stuff behind his chair growing??
His skin looks like scar and Bdubs were fused into one body

100/10 video
I still stand by my theory of the old scientist being future mumbo and something will stop him from reaching that point
wait wowwwww this is so well made!!!
Get this man into hermitcraft!
What a wonderfully harebrained theory! I loved it!
bro only has 160????????? your potential through the ROOF bro!
pov mumbo was ordinally grey
11:12 It sounds like „Mind“ when spoken.
12:36 maybe he’s regretting stuff. Or he did something where he needs the lab.
Might be exponential aging.
Did anyone ever mess with time in the quasi connected lore multiverse?
i do not care what storyline it is but if it leads to him retiring from hermitcraft im gonna lose it
I been noticing it. Im worried that he's leaving hermitcraft
I feel like this will be a jekyll and hyde story
omg I finally see someone making a video about this.
13:28 They are putting chemicals in the water that turn the freaken mumbos grey.
