- Опубліковано 17 жов 2020
- Check out my "Raised by Wolves" Season 1 Theory on exactly who or what Sol is, what Sol wants, and what it means for "Raised by Wolves" Season 2. I will breakdown and explain all the evidence and make some predictions about the Pentagonal Temples, Dark Photon Energy, the Holes, and other secrets about Kepler 22B and the Mithraics. Remember to leave your theories and thoughts in the comments, let's keep the conversation going in between seasons. See if your theory makes it into a future video, I will definitely shout you out if it's something I haven't thought of!

What are your theories on what Sol could be? I may use it in a future video and shout you out if I haven't thought of it. Thanks!
I'm thinking maybe the cycle of humanity(via sol) is somehow infected by another parasite which happens to be the apex predator of the entire cosmos. There's holes in the theory clearly but I thought I would be cool tho.
@@tripvic7629 That would be awesome. I love it!
I think Sol is an AI in the temples. Remember the vision of the engineer helmet on the box? Sounds like dream logic for an AI. I think is a scrubbed planet, with an AI to keep it scrubbed. Would explain why southern hemisphere electrical communication is a plot element.
Sol is Father
One voice but it's not sol, because sol does not exist. Just because they think god(sol) is speaking to them doesn't mean its god. So who is speaking to them? Maybe an alien with telepathic abilities and what not.
Wow. All this just because Cartman couldn't wait a few weeks for the Nintendo Wii.
LMAO! That's awesome.
The men in black are going to show up at your door
Haha totally true.
Oh my science!
Lol
It’s a crime they left us with a cliffhanger
Very interesting, your views. Only three more days and series to start. We’ll see!
To paraphrase Bobby Boucher’s mama: “Sol is the devil”.
How true your video is after watching season 2, ep7
Thanks!
S,O,L
SYNTHETIC
OMNIPOTENT
LIFE
?
Added a question mark
Love it!
I wonder if the magnetic field is actually a shield created to block Sol and his influence
Your theory was spot on! Bravo 👏
Great vid!
Thanks!
Personally I want father to be the key character of the show who kicks some major butt, but.... I don't want him to be a necromancer. I feel like that would be too easy. Rather I want to see him grow to discover his own potential and how through his modest abilities, intelligence, strength of will and human like love for his children brings about what he and mother want most, a safe world for their children to grow in.
Father is the best!
The latest episode kinda implies that Father's pet ancient android rebuild project is a Sol esque being, or at least pretending to be.
Excellent ideas Brent!
Early morning theory video! Thanks bud
My pleasure. Enjoy!
There's a Battle Star Galitcica and Mass Effect vibe from raised by wolves.
Definitely. I was a huge Battlestar fan. I was torn on the ending, but not as mad at it as most. Thanks for watching!
@1 2 Not familiar with that one. I'll have to check it out
@@themiddleman781 I thought the ending was decent, far from perfect but a lot better than most series out there.
@@leonardodavinci7425 Exactly. That's why I didn't get the hate when so many series flop at the end because they never even considered an ending. The Raised by Wolves showrunner says he knows how it ends, so I hope they give him the 5 or 6 season he wants. It would also be great for my channel. Lol
All of this has happened before, and will happen again.
starting the 2nd season and watched your video just made a lot of sense on many question i had. brilliant!
Thanks!!
Hmmm, very Tao. "Pre Heaven"/Yin energy/dark matter/the acausel being the source of all.
You need more subscribers. Great Work!
Thank you! Going to try to be more consistent with my posts
You do a lot of work on your videos great job!!!
Thanks!
SOL= Sentience On Line or origin AOL
Also, it seems there are many themes from other movies and stories. Paul immediately brings to mind the Paul from Dune, although Campion would actually be the equivalent of the Dune Paul(The desert mouse in Dune is supposed to represent Paul). The Clerics both remind me of the witches and the dynamics from Dune and the Priests in some of the old D&D games. The geometric temples look like the sacred building in Hitchiker’s Guide to the Universe, where the number 42 was eventually calculated to be answer to the ultimate question. I like your theory concerning the 5 aspect to dark photon(dark matter?) - It could imply a nearly invisible existence of a 5th dimension controlling things at lower levels. Sol could be like Rao, the sun of Krypton, in that Sol, our sun, followed the humans to an other planet to guide them? Strangely, Kepler 22b might be a larger and warmer than Earth water world, according to present data. There are elements of Sumerian stories pertaining to the changing of the gods when the god becomes a serpent or essentially the devil. The petroglyph expressions remind me of the etchings found by the crew of Battlestar Galactica portraying the route to Earth. Quite a bit of allegory(I will probably re-edit this and add to it because I know I missed something).
I disagree with what Sol is.
I think it is a sentient AI _based_ on dark photon energy developed by a previous cycle of human evolution
Love it!
That makes complete sense to me.
More likely an AI designed by an AI.
ala Call in Alien Resurrection.
Low key most advanced troll in cosmos
Lol
So sad that the show is canceled.. Finished season 2 today...
It was so good
Wow. A lot to take in, but very interesting theories.
Thank you! Yeah, that's why I love the show. So much going on and so much to theorize about. love it
This is great please keep these theory videos coming
Working on more. Thanks!
good points!
Thanks!
If Father ends up becoming more bad ass, I could really care less what happens in the plot. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a character in any story to go...super saiyan more than Father
Love it! That's my hope as well. Father needs to find his inner necro
Right but he is going to be bad, because he is Sol
Hopefully we see it on season 2
@@hamdan9682 I bet we will. Mother is hurt and Father will need to protect them from a flying necrosnake and possibly other people who have been surviving in the tropical zone. I think they may hide in another Pentagonal Temple and we will get to see inside
@@themiddleman781 I highly agree with you father came back from the dead for a reason
Sol = col - circular orange light
The black photon is like the black goo in promethuse movie is the same thing
I think The planet itself is sol.
best take yet by a mile
Thanks Brandon! I really appreciate it. Working on some additional videos too.
Dark photon energy = dark matter
This is the most cogent theory I’ve heard yet for what’s going on.
Gj bra
Did you see the new intro..obelisks sending signals on top of the temple like structures..I believe it was broadcast nodes for the SOL AI in ages past.
The many snake holes seems to serve the purpose as ventilation for the SOL AI inside the core.
(looking at it from a Computer Science perspective)
I've speculated that we are seeing Kepler being destroyed and not Earth. Great call!
@@themiddleman781 me too!
Makes sense for Sol to be an AI, too, since technology runs rampant on both Mithraic & Atheistic sides, AND somehow Mother and Father, two androids, were able to see th3 Tally, "ghost" as well!
Sol didn't stop Marcus' lander. Mother did, she used her android computer powers to stop it, and change the color of the exterior.
great vid!! I also think Father has a far larger role to play in this story...
Agreed! Father will be the hero...or Sol...lol
@@themiddleman781 My thoughts exactly! I also think Father is a Necromancer. He certainly has the blue Necromancer eye's (which He might give to Mother to "reweaponize" Her) He "loves" Mother and may begin to see Humans as the thing coming between Him and Mother. At the end of E10, the way Father looked back at the "snake"..it seemed that some kind of revelation hit Him. Also, the name "Campion Sturgis:six" has to be an anagram, the name contains a few word's relative to the show :)
@@TheOnlyElle. Sir Guts....he is a fat knight? :)
@@themiddleman781 lol maybe He will be a "fat knight" 😂 I did find "agnosticm", "utopia/nism and "is a manuscript" as well as a few other word's that align with the story.. I haven't figured out a relevant sentence yet, but there could be a phrase/prophecy in there. The show obviously likes "encoding" wee puzzles into the show. (As We seen with Father's, "Morse code finger" glitch) the names could be relevant, if not, it's still fun to play around with different theories&ideas..
I hadn't heard much mention of Father's story arc, until Your video. I think Father's role will be huge! He could be Sol, or even the one who reprogrammed Mother. So many possibilities at this point. Congrats again on great vids. I think Your channel's gonna grow as fast as Mother's Necrosnake 🤩🐍🤖
@@TheOnlyElle. That is so cool of you to say. I love your comments and theories, very original. My favorite part of the channel is getting to talk theories with so many super smart people. Thanks for watching!!
Nice theorisation. Dark Energy is AI gone awry.
Could be!
I'm too early! This is a good theory. 😁
Thank you!! Never too early :)
You got it all wrong! The Mouse is SOL!
Praise Mouse!
Raised by Wolves just aired in Europe, thanks for all of the vids Middle Man thumbs 👍
Sol is Spanish for sun
I believe the giant snakes are the voices
The voices are definitely related to the snakes. Agreed!
What is the music playing at the end of your videos, love it.
Thanks! Some royalty free song I found. I don't even remember the name. Lol
Sol is the mouse 🐀
I hope!
I always thought Tally either fell into the hole accidentally or was pulled in by something. There look to be 2 sets of drag marks leading up to the edge (one long and one short) and the doll was laying at the very end of the shorter drag mark, as if Tally put one hand down for support first then dropped the doll to use the other hand, but it wasn't enough.
Makes sense to me. I like it
Love this show, though I don't have HBOMax, can't wait for your thoughts on season 2!
Thanks Brad. It started off great so far! I'm gonna work on a video this weekend. I have like 6 pages of notes
Sol is the core of the planet
Agreed!
Father said Mother has “a dangerous man-eating creature living in a cave.” 😅 His directness gets me ever time!
Love it! Lol
Father is the best. I know it's ironic, but to me he's the most human of all the characters in the show. All he want's is a happy life for his family and for them to be safe and he's just dealing with all this sci-fi insanity the best he can.
He is the best parts of humanity. How we hope humans could be. Unfortunately, we're not.
@@stuff2climb102 yes. Father aka Pops has the most basic familial instincts. It is also ironic he seems more feminine (motherly) than Mother. He is the "mother" of the family always waiting for Mother to do something crazy. You are right!
You obviously haven't been married..lol
There are still in the simulation!
Could be. It seemed real. A simulation inside of a simulation!
That has been my thought as well.It's just one of many many simulations in perhaps a science project to study humans. I know I might and will probably be wrong but I would not at all be surprised if it all takes place in a really advanced simulation. It would explain all the strange stuff with Tally etc and why an android actually could plug into that simulation thingy that were made for human senses I would guess and not for androids It would also explain the voices and any or all "supernatural" things.
Sal (Saw-Uhl) 😆
Better Call Sol
I'm waiting for the smoke monster to show up.
Bruh, watching season 2 actually gives more light to who or what sol is… father’s little experiment could have been sols Android form that was killed off to cut off its legs, now that it has re emerged and perfect timing to when mother got her eyes back, can’t be a coincidence
Yeah agreed. Grandmother is going to give us lots of answers
No
Sol is grandfather.
Could be! I can't figure if it's that or if Sol is just this indifferent being just after it's own goals and doesn't really care about anything else
While I like the idea of Sol being David from the Alien franchise, playing a long con to get himself out of his disembodied state, having been marooned on this planet--perhaps by the Engineers; there is a notion that events unfolding explain how Ego could have pulled himself together to move out into the MCU-verse.
I don't think Alien will be connected, but never know
No way they would tie this show to Prometheus and Covenant lol i would be shocked by that
@@jondoe1573 It's not without plausibility. Earth is canonically destroyed in the Alien franchise by the time of Alien Resurrection. While many extended universe books and media have come up with many ideas of how this happened, the main canon itself never specify what caused Earth's demise.
This make me wonder did Campion Sturges figure all this out. That why he tried to send Mother & Father ahead of the arc so they could be ready by time the technology got there
Campion knew a lot. He came from a wealthy Mithraic family. Spent years decoding the Scriptures and then left to help the Atheists. So something scared him and made hin take action. I think in season 2 we wills see Father's memories of Campion his creator, like we saw Mother's in season 1
@@themiddleman781 right, like father was there when he was decoding the scriptures but doesn't remember bc like mother his memories were erased as to not make him a paranoid stern father knowing if what will eventually happen bc he would raise the children to be violent warriors thus starting another cycle of violence on this world bc violence begets violence.
TV shows often make it all up as they go from season to season - don't read too much into it.
Not every showrunner is a J Michael Straczynski to build up 4 full seasons of story from the outset.
Mother is Sol...in a time paradox
Love it! Or maybe even Father. Watch my Time Travel Theory video. I bring this up as a possibility
Welp the slow evolution theory of the planets creatures was thrown out with season 2.
Yeah. It was pretty quick. Lol
this video is sick. Everytime I watch, the plot becomes clearer.
Thank you! Thats so cool of you to say!
@@themiddleman781 u r the best dude!
@@tripvic7629 You rock Vic!
SoL is a sun god, but also could be a serpent
could be!
I think Mother asked the kids how the number five is a common number in living things as a way to dispel the Mythraic belief in the number five as divine, to show them how the number five is not divine and is just a naturally occurring number
I think everyone has chips in there heads the ark installed on the way to the new world in the stasis pods. Then there are high beings watching and pushing everyone towards a goal of some sorts or just watching to see if the humans world be the same as on earth.
Sol is the mouse
Praise Mouse!
They worship some star or planet.
Sol (soul). Not Saul. And I think it might be the source of dark photons. And just uploaded some into Marcus
Better call Sol
Also, a detail: the Temple is a geometric volume made with pentagons faces which is in fact a dodecahedron. The Sol logo we see on flags, suits, etc. is a sun with twelve rays.
I think it refers to twelve individuals or base 5 entities that makes a whole. Those twelve are “Sol” IMO or they can _unlock_ Sol. Also, when we hear the _Voices_ there’s never only one but many of them simultaneously.
That sounds perilously close to ripping off Battlestar Galactica 😑
Come to thnk of it now that you've brought that to mind the plot is beginning to sound like Ridley Scott's Prometheus universe meets BSG.
@@mnomadvfx I just started BSG for the first time ever and this show's intro is INCREDIBLY reminiscent or similar to BSGs!
Better Call sol!
It's sol good man
Tally went back in time through the hole to draw the artwork and blue prints and all. I’ve never seen this show. But I watched this and another video.
That would be awesome
In short: Robo-Satan
Good guess
video aged like milk
Mother being sol dosnt explain the snake being put in her or the virtual reality scenes. 🤔
Watching the 1st two episode of season 2, I feel like Sol is a Rampant AI
Definitely seems like that right? Like some ancient version of The Trust
I think the old android Father is rebuilding will give us answers
@@themiddleman781 definitely, the minute I saw the Trust AI that fully dawned on me. Definitely that old school android will shed a lot of light… or bring doom 😂
@@themiddleman781 the old Android most probably might be "grandmother"
I think SOL stands for and is the Source Of Life on the planet. It is a bio-tech AI that draws its energy from the planet and also runs it. The planet has become the body and parts of the AI or the "entity". Ancient humans on Kepler made it and then it ensured that the planet survived and sent humans to another planet, where it taught humans about "SOL" the god.
A lot to unpack here, and I think this is the most viable theory out there. Sol is definitely the "planet's" core, where the surface is it's habitat to survive.
It wouldn't make sense though for one particular part of the planet to be isolated from its influence, the new season implies that 'Sol' cannot influence as well in the warm area of Kelper.
They already said what Sol is. Sol is the light.
I don't think Otho heard Sols voice. He mentioned later in season 1, it wasn't the first time he's used lower life forms to get his rocks off. He heard want he wanted to hear and did what he wanted to
No, he absolutely did. There is something "other" about Tempest's baby. It is acid proof for one...
Sol did not want the snake baby in the tropical Zone. I think it only happen because otherwise the snake would of been destroyed. So Maybe SOL can not influence things in the Tropical ZONE due to the magnetic forces (These forces could be getting generated by the original people of the planet).
Its like promethuse 2
we'll see
What if the serpent is the child of sol prophecy?
Could be
All I can hear is Saul, better call him.
If they reveal this world is related to Alien I'm gonna have a fit.
No worries there. Ridley Scott just directed the pilot, but he isn't a part of the creative team. Aaron Guzakowski is the writer, creator and showrunner. The white android blood will be the only connection
No matter how and when this series ends, 100% guarantee it will be unsatisfying, raising-more-questions-than-giving-answers, Ridley Scott circlejerking.
@@shuthemoody It's not a Ridley Scott show. He directed the pilot, but it was written and created by Aaron Guzijowski. Ridley won't even be directing in season 2. So no worries there.
@@themiddleman781 But Scott is the exec producer. I fear he's going to get his fingers in on the story. I like your optimism, though!
@@shuthemoody Nope. Confirmed he hasn't. The showrunner confirmed. I'll try to get an interview with the creator and I'll ask him directly how involved Ridley has been and will be. Watch my video breaking down an interview with the showrunner Aaron Guzikowski. You'll be optimistic too
It is also intresting to know that Ridley Scott takes a lot of his inspiration from the Bible. Especially when you look at the alien universe. And we can see it as well in this series. Maybe the Bible even gives us some answers as strange as it might seem. Maybe the Snake like creatures were already on Earth, like in Genesis, a snake telling lies to start their advancement, with Adam and Eve (the ones that came to earth in RbW). Then Angels came to give men knowledge as we read in the Book of Enoch. These "Angels" (Necromancers) brought forth the Nefilim, a big and very strong race of men (like Otho). Then they also gave humans the task to build them temples. Just like on Kepler the temples in the Bible are build with the number 5. Search that.
So maybe in Ridley's world it were Necromancers that escaped Kepler to earth just as two necromancers came back. These two were Adam and Eve. They had a snake with them that gave them the knowledge to create all kinds of things like nefilim. The Snake and the Necromancers slowly died off but not before they safeguarded scriptures to once be found by men. And the rest is history in the story.
Sol needs humans to reproduce, especially humans who see him as a God. This would be a masterplan.
Beautiful. Another very insightful and interesting theory. I love it and I'm almost certain we will see a lot these themes play out. Well done!
Only thing is, Ridley didnt write or create this one. He just directed an episode. But he probably got involved because it's up his alley
@@themiddleman781 The android fuel blood is definitely inspired by the androids from the Alien franchise.
Sol its the center of the planet
Definitelty could be
Beautiful theory. There will be a new character in season 2 called Grandmother, who could be the one creating voices.
Can't wait to see her!
Father’s science project?
Totally a C’tan shard
Is your theory that humans on Earth and Kepler are parallel evolutions on different planets or is it like in BSG a cycle and humans just move from planet to planet?
androids start on Kepler, make humans, send humans to Earth and other planets with instructions to create androids
@@themiddleman781 Who created the androids then? Machines don’t create themselves.
@@domusavires19 Evolved from Kepler. They are not normal machines. They are made of dark photons, at least the high level ones. Just like how humans evolved out the Earth (unless you believe in a creator I guess). Kepler is unusual.
Sol is that thick android.
Possibly. I still Sol is the core though
I think Sol created the whole belief around him in order to manipulate humans into giving it life, his "scriptures" not only instructed humans to build tech for him but also influenced them to fight a war that destroyed Earth so that they'd come back to his planet. Basically an elaborate trap.
I really love the whole philosophy of this show but it's a bit frustrating that as the viewer you catch onto Sol's manipulation way before the characters do, so now we have to wait for them to discover it slowly LOL if this ends up into a Lost type circlejerk I'm gonna be so pissed. I really love the premise of the show but it's probably gonna get necro-milked into nonsense
Haha. I think you're onto something. I'll be talking about this in my season 2 video about the 1st 2 episodes. And yeah, I hope it's going somewhere and not mystery on mystery. But i have...faith
It's Sol not Saul!
Soul brotha!
Is Sol a film or Series I've never heard of Sol?
It's from the HBOMax series "Raised by Wolves"
If you really listen to the lyrics of the theme song, they sing about a core that never was will nowl be 🤔 what does that mean?
I did a whole video on the intro :)
SOL means SOIL in French and SOUTH in Portuguese. Such a simple word no doubt has other basic meanings in other languages. What makes you think the ancient Mithreans spoke only English and Spanish?
Oh cool
Amazing video! Honestly, this show is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I don't have any theories on who Sol could be, but I do think Sol being Dark Photon Energy is a good one! Could even be a Necromancer itself, perhaps the very first one, not built but born in some kind of way. I don't know. I just feel that if it's Dark Photon Energy itself... how does other things get built with it? Does it lend some of itself out to humans light years away so they can build the ships and Necomancers? If so, then its reach must be further than only a few weeks away (as otherwise thought to be considering Otho). It could be very old, and therefore weak, or trapped somewhere (maybe one of the temples) and only able to mentally reach out for now until it regains power or even a new body (perhaps Mother herself). And since this is based somewhat on Adam and Eve, maybe the OG Necromancer only gave the humans guides on how to build Necromancers as a whole 'god created humans in his own image' kind of deal.
This all has me beautifully intrigued and confused!
Thank you so much. Definitely a chicken and the egg, Bootstrap Paradox thing going on here. I think the Temples may be contain mini versions of the dark photon core of the planet, and they serve as sort of wish-granting boxes. The dark photons/Sol can sense what the person or thing wants and then make it from the dark photons. Mother wished to be able to make a child on her own, and Sol impregnated her. Marcus wished to get rid of Ambrose without getting in trouble for it and the temple set it up for him to burn him and whispered to him what to do. Paul wanted mouse back and Sol brought it back. There is something going on with Sol answering prayers and I think the dark photons ability to become anything is what is actually going on. So there is a scientific answer, but it appears supernatural because we don't understand it. I hope I didn't confuse things even more. I'm exited to find out!
@@themiddleman781 It makes sense that the temples might be mini version of the core, they do give off heat and has set someone on fire. I do love this idea! And it certainly seems like things are pointing at it! I'm excited to find out too!
@@themiddleman781 I had another thought due to something someone theorized about and thought it was pretty neat: Basically that Kepler might not be a planet at all, but something called a Dyson sphere. The core is an artificial sun that could be generating Dark Photons harnessed by the sphere and could have been created by the people who lived there before *long* ago as a power source. The snakes could be biosynthetic organisms that work as relays to function throughout the whole Dyson sphere and that's why they created the tunnels. The voice is an AI that was created to run the entire system, but it turned against its creators. So basically the star inside Kepler is a Dark Photon reactor run by an AI, which is biosynthetic, so therefore it can influence humans, snakes and androids. That's why Kepler doesn't have a normal planetary geology, because its a planet-sized artificial structure built to contain a sun-like reactor. Its not a natural planet.
@@valerievanwyk6122 I saw that comment too. I really like that idea. The showrunner even commented that Kepler may look like Earth now, but that doesn't mean it is like Earth. Seemed like a hint towards something like this. I am going to do a video breaking down the interview I saw. Should help answer a lot. That also helps me theory that the Temples are mini reactors
@@themiddleman781 Yes! I thought it was a good one! And that's true, it does help your mini reactor theory! Honestly, Sol being an AI or purely Dark Photons makes the most sense so far to me. Anyway, can't wait for more! Thanks!
So does sol want to repopulate Kepler with snakes? Is that the true purpose of the Necromancers? The cave painting appears to show mother, father, and the embryos traveling from Kepler to Earth? Does that mean they keep going back and forth or some kind of time travel paradox?
#DoSomePoopin
Sounds nice
Mother is sol.
Still on the table :)
othoman dive in to many holes and i know you know it.
saul
He's Jewish
I loved how people who were desperate to believe in a God, were so easy to manipulate by whatever was impersonating 'Sol'
“Saul” 🙄
I think the planet itself it's some kind of AI with bio-technology, you know, a robot god that created humans
Yes!
People keep splitting the idea that this unusual source is something in organic in our traditional sense of AI but what if Sol is a half biological half organic being.
Yes! Exactly! These aren't machines made metal. We saw one give freaking birth!
