I mean I feel like the script writer made a mistake or something because there’s no way a jellyfish is farther away from humans than a mineral

[@SineFineInanis]

Why would Stinger becoming a jellyfish not be in line with his intentions? The life of a jellyfish is exactly the kind of life he describes as ideal.

[@JamesRossmeissl]

It will be like jellyfish on the beach, they will be dead on the surface

[@jadeberry2402]

i was thinking the same thing, i was wondering maybe its because if he still has the givanium (? i forget what its called) he'll still be in pain but losing his ability to think at all will make him violent like the others???

[@wolfhawk69]

The cloy or whatever gets rid of everything except one and mat pat assumed that it would be the jellyfish genome. Stinger Flynn wants to just be a mindless jellyfish.

[@SineFineInanis]

Yeah, it seems like everyone agrees that the supposed outcome would be exactly what Stinger wants. He'll become a jellyfish and then he expects whichever adult is left alive to bring him and the children to the surface. The only other option would be him being left with his Givanium genome but Matthew didn't propose that outcome.

[@mrreyes5004]

@@SineFineInanis "Matthew didn't propose that outcome." I mean, it's obvious why he didn't propose it. As far as we know, the Givanium "genome" isn't really a genome of animal species. Remember, Givanium is only an ALTERNATIVE for lifeblood. Humans and jellyfish are pre-existing creatures that have determined behaviors and traits, like BanBan's intelligence (from his human genome) or Opila's territorial hostility (from her ostrich DNA). But the Givanium genome doesn't belong to any pre-existing species that has its own traits. So it makes no sense for one of the monsters to be left with the Givanium side because the Givanium doesn't give any behavioral traits of its own. This is backed up by the fact that all of the monsters show traits of the species genome that is most prominent in them, but none of them seem to identify with the Givanium as their preferred genome. Stinger literally can't be left with just his Givanium side because the Givanium only gives life - it doesn't give any behaviors like jellyfish's mindlessness, bird's territorialness or human's ingenuity.

[@XAVlER444]

@KaIImekirs 🅥 beautiful

[@cdesigner9178]

I think that with FNAF, it is intentionally confusing. Scott knew what was going on and was playing 4d chess while we are trying our best to keep up. Banban, though? We're playing chess while Banban is playing Uno. Our minds are more strategic, but how can we beat someone who isn't playing the same game as us? I think the analogy got away from me, but you get the idea.

[@Toastii_rat]

@@cdesigner9178 I agree how Fnaf was based to be confusing/reflect on an actual story for a horror game but maybe banban is intentionally supposed to be easy, like unlike poppy playtime, bendy etc they have something to figure out but banban? An unusual game where it gives you everything, you can find out what happened in like 3 seconds, and stuff. But that’s also what makes it different from other games, sure the “children, Experiment gone wrong, mascots come to life” is the exact same but that is different, aswell as the self awareness of the characters that they KNOW they’re doing something bad (Hence the big guy saying Sorry in Spanish and Banban knowing he could become a monster when in contact with the player) idk garten of Banban is so straightforward but mysterious

I feel bad for the creatures in that kindergarten. They never had a real childhood, just raised in isolation with the only adult figures neglecting them and treating them like monsters. Especially if jumbo josh is a reincarnation of a little kid, which makes this even worse. Imagine all adult figures around you being really distant and aggressive, living in a empty basement. I can see why he’s so aggressive. He’s just a little kid who doesn’t know better or understand why he’s there. Also, Flynn talks very calmly to josh when he tries to break up the fight at the end of chapter 3. He’s probably trying to comfort to poor guy since he’s the only one who’s smart enough to recognize why josh is so aggressive

Game idea for anyone who wants it: so basically, there is a smt like zombie-fungus apocalypse and if you get bitten, you become a monster. The MC is a zombie hunter or slayer. But, at the end, MC is a spy that somehow took a human form. They all die. Transformation: so, its kinda gory but idc. Your skeleton is getting bigger, which means your skin was getting ripped apart. The spikes were appearing from your back and well.. u are zombie-fungus now! Congratulations!!

[@tarynabayomi1670]

Dear Mr. MatPat, I've been watching your content since 2011 or 2012 when I was in middle school. So it's been so heartwarming for me to see the channel I grew up with come this far. I just wanted to say congratulations on everything you've accomplished so far and to many more to come in the future. With that said, I wanted to give a suggestion for another theory. I was rewatching your old Petscop Playlist and noticed that a few more videos have released since then. Maybe more looooooooore has been added. Maybe have a look. Love, TT

13:05 Maybe they’re talking about Jumbo Josh,or maybe Zolphius since we know he was Uthman and Miss Mason’s adoptive child that they found in spain,which is why he’s talking Spanish and that the Nanny is teaching him english,which would make sense since he can’t fit in any school,plus it says that he does not like begin seperated from his parents,and that’s why he’s always sad

So you said the jellyfish WANTS to become like a kid basically, right? But the clip you played in 9:50, describes his aspiration to be a consciousless jellyfish. Just a slight correction, but it looks like he's going to get EXACTLY what he wants: to be a brainless jellyfish

[@Wolfdog992]

I FEEL LIKE THERE WILL BE A STUFFED ANIMAL SOON Also the 6th game is confirmed to be the next game, so the 5th game is probably a DLC for the 6th game.

[@hmm6261]

9:47 this would explain why banbeleena wasnt in the car with the other creatures- she hates stinger flynn bc her genomes came from ms. mason

[@lordawesome444]

WE'RE MAKIN' IT OUT OF THE KINDERGARDEN WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

[@phoenixlordx4625]

Another reason besides the one that has been mentioned in the comments that Stinger knows about the cloy could be what he transformed Banban into. What other reason would be there that an intelligent person like him suddenly becomes a wild animal with such a rage filled face.

[@andyredson7652]

6:47 banban: IS THAT THE MIMIC-

[@Gaming_Nerd1993]

Now if Matpat were to do more digging he might find the catalyst of how Garten of BanBan became such a big thing on KZbin. That would be a huge win and a massive win for whoever suggested it in the first place.

[@DMBLaan]

Based on past releases, Part 4 will be out in July. It seems to be every 2 months, and Part 3 was May

[@davidwilson2916]

Seeing MatPat reference Shipwrecked 64 in the intro makes me hope he'll cover Broadside Beach at some point in the future. It's an incredible ARG and horror series that deserves more love.

[@Beta-s9h]

"Y'all, Nabnab is Banban backwards." "LOOOOOOREEE!"

BanBan is the weird uncle of mascot horror video games. They're extremely strange and keep showing up everywhere no matter what you try.

@@endermansimulator7826 well since banbaleena referred to Josh as the green guy, maybe not all the monsters know each other.

Slow Seline recognizes when you are stinger Flynn(a monster) but she attacks you when you aren’t. Banban knows you are a human, as he references it.

[@seikoseikogirl2758]

Would like to say that at the beginning of the video he was going over cash grab list of all the other noteworthy Mascot horrors from the past. I wasn't mad about that. Forgetting Hello Neighbor (because the quality of that can be debated on), the other games had a little something called effort with devs behind the games that knew what they were doing and continued to update the game with better graphics and mechanics as they learned with either each new installment or chapter. Banban does none of this. The devs have not learned anything from their previous games and they have made no effort to actually make the game look appealing, make the puzzles actually engaging, and have a story that is coherent. Even the new chapter now is a fever dream that I don't even know what is going on, nor do I care.

[@RorThor]

Game recommendation: Security Booth by Kyle Horwood. You play as a security guard working in a security booth outside of a company lab called Nova Nexus. Throughout the night you must decide who you will and won’t let in. However, there is something that I can only describe as extra-terrestrial, ethereal or Lovecraftian going on. There are 7 endings (and hidden notes) and no one has pieced together what the backstory is or what is going on in the company. I thought it might be a fun game to play on GTLive! Edit: I forgot to mention that you also collect videotapes when you get an ending, which could be crucial when it comes to filling in the lore.

[@anhadbakshi404]

At 5:48 the qr scan after scanned reads "they're not alive. they can't be alive. they're not alive. they can't be alive. they're not alive. they can't be alive." Very weird.... (THE DEVELOPERS REALLY DON'T KNOW THEIR OWN LOOREE!!!)

I do love this game, it holds all the right ingredients for just a typical horror franchise slapped together game but the story beyond the main points is well done and unfolding into something grand and exciting.
