Hollow Knight: Silksong Trailer Analysis

Team Cherry will never stop blowing my mind. Join me as I tear the trailer for their new game apart frame by frame. Also, I totally knew they were going to bring back the Forest of Bones. I should have made a prediction video. Oh well, everyone was probably guessing that anyway.
Here's a google doc that has a whole bunch of information about the new trailer, if this video wasn't enough for you. This was a collaboration between myself, Molasses, Sumwan and Chemicalism. Enjoy!

Also there's a part 2 to this video now. Don't you hate unnecessary sequels?

I think that Hornet didn't wait to escape, it just happened to her. Her eyes widened like she was surprised at what was happening. My guess is that once she crossed over into this new kingdom (by being close to the weavers or who knows what) something awakened inside of her.

[@cloudgalaxy9231]

I mean, obviously the silk is important to the game. So why shouldn't it play a role in the plot?

[@mossbag69]

Nice catch!

[@hyperspades]

To add onto this, it's stated multiple times throughout Hollow Knight that the only thing giving the bugs in Hallownest sentience was the Pale King's doing. Anything that left the kingdom would "relinquish the precious mind this kingdom grants". I'm wondering if the only reason Hornet didn't escape earlier is because she became lifeless after leaving the outskirts of the kingdom, until something gave her sentience again... That, or Hornet ASKED the bugs to carry her to the other kingdom, knowing she couldn't make it herself.

basically what i thought was: the land is haunted by silk and song, so they need to use stuff to keep silk and song away from them. for song they keep bells around, so they always have sound around them, for silk, notice how some enemies have crochet needles, and some scissors? i think they might use that to keep the silk at bay. or something like that

[@Larya26]

"haunted by silk and song" - when you mentioned puppets and their masters, isn't there another expression for following someone's orders? like: "playing to the master's tunes"? i think that the Weavers were rulers in that kingdom, like the Pale King (he was Wyrm before getting new form), and Radiance before him, but unlike them, they weren't forgotten - they had to hide in their own kingdom, leaving Hornet to find them and do something about it. wait, Pale King did that too (Radiance was also hidden, although not by her choice)!

Mossbag you missed something potentially big although kind of subjective! (but isn't that what your channel is all about?) About the moment of Hornet's escape.... Take a real close look at her face, as the threads coalesce around her. Doesn't she look... kind of surprised? Maybe the answer to your question of 'why not escape at any time' is that... she didn't. Somebody else broke her out; somebody pulling the strings from far away. That'd answer why she didn't escape before, but of course it just raises more intriguing questions...

[@dubdubs389]

Tiger_eye41 Maybe Hornet was deafet by the HK and then captured. Just speculating.

[@NinjaGidget]

I think you're right about her looking surprised. I'm not convinced that she was captured in the first place. The "cage" looks like it might just be a carriage. Considering Hornet's royal lineage, and her connection to the Weavers, my theory is that Hornet was traveling to the same place the Weavers went when they left Hollownest. She may have even been sent for. This brings up the possibility that the "breakout" is actually an attack, maybe even an assassination attempt.

[@Tigerseye41]

@@NinjaGidget I don't agree for three reasons, although I admit they are all fairly weak. First, she looks kind of grumpy rattling along in that cage. Second, it doesn't appear to have any doors. Finally, those cultists who carry her show up as enemies later. This final point could be explained away as them being under free will when traveling with hornet and being 'puppeteered' later on, but the fact that they wear silk masks implies they are somehow 'alligned' with silk.

I think Hornet has one of the best character designs I’ve ever seen, she looks so sleek and agile and badass. I still have yet to play Hollow Knight and yet I’m already in love with her.

[@arundownshack1019]

@@ttracs Gameplay is more important than looks though... And hollow knight delivers on both ends.

[@MrDragonin]

Speculation: Hornet used her godly powers to temporarily seal The Knight that became the Shade Lord, that's why she was weakened and the weird bugs at the beginning were able to take her away. She was going to look for a cure for The Knight and ended up in that new kingdom. The masters of Steel Soul Jinn don't want to see The Knight return from the void as they are void beings themselves (maybe they look for new brethren?) and so send assassins to Hornet to eliminate her on her quest. Just some food for thought, I don't think this is what will happen considering my prophecising ability being at least below Nostradamus, but interesting nonetheless.

[@lookbehindyourback6910]

Hornet is not even that powerful. She lost 2 fight with the knight and cant even fight the Radiance. Dont overcompensate her meager existence

This kingdom is "haunted by silk and song" A mild theory appeared to me when I've heard this line. Right before watching this video I've watched the Vitruvian Grub video, in the video you have tried to speculate if there's anything more to a sidequest about them. An idea that came to my head is that the "Grubs" are actually silkworms who can manufacture silk, or "Soul silk" , a motive that we've seen used all around the "Silksong" trailer. In addition, we've seen the grubs produce songs when the protagonist approached them in "Hollow knight" that can be linked to the song that's taking over this new kingdom. All of this can also explain why the collector seperated all of the grubs across Hallownest at the command of the Pale King : Because the Metamorphosis of the grubs will give birth to the creature strong enough to overthrow the Pale King's kingdom. The main antagonist of "Silksong" might actually be the metamorphosis product of the cute grubs that we all know and love. That's just a theory I came up with, I thought it would be nice to share.

[@antoinemartin1389]

Why would the metamorphosis overthrow the pale king ?

[@brianmachado4839]

@@antoinemartin1389moths come from larvae, and one of the moths ascended into a god. Maybe a Goliath butterfly is an enemy, they are in fact stronger than moths

[@ThePurpleBookWyrm]

Which would potentially lead to a butterfly Big Bad, offering a cool contrast to the moth Big Bad of Hollow Knight. Though I'm not sure how that would tie in to the rest of the lore (especially regarding the Void and Abyss civilisation).

Tommy Burney Herrah’s mask has no line down the center, while the general weaver tribe insignia does (see the Weaversong charm for an example).
