Mashed Bandicoot and Relationships - a YTP Case Study

[@NPCarlsson]

Wow. That was amazing and you're awesome for making it. No matter how many subscribers or comments I get, it's still crazy to me that my dumb videos can have that much of a profound impact on someone. Mashed Bandicoot will forever be one of my favourite things I've ever made and seeing an in-depth analysis of the relationship dynamics between the characters, just gives me a new layer of respect for it. Which is weird, cos I made it. Surely I knew what I was doing, but... Anyway, I really like this case study. It was well put together and well edited. I like how it began as kind of a parody, over-reaching and drawing conclusions that aren't really there and turning minor things into metaphors for greater concepts, but then it got real and I really appreciate you talking about how Mashed, other videos of mine (even the gaming videos which I didn't think many people cared about) and being accepted into the It's About Time collab had a genuine impact on your well-being and stuff like that. That kind of thing means the world and I just wanna say thank you for making this in the first place. I guess Mashed Bandicoot really is a metaphor for life.

In regards to the Ass Theory, NPCarlsson gave an (admittedly on-the-fly) explanation during his CinemaSins parody. "The only explanation I can think of is that Cortex and Robotnik knew each other as _friends_ growing up, but somehow didn't realize they were brothers, despite them both knowing their mother well enough to recognize her. Sometime as adults, they forgot each other, and then Cortex found out he had a twin brother. Over the course of Mashed Bandicoot, Robotnik remembered who Cortex was and what he did to him. He was then able to jog Cortex's memory, too."

Yeah, I know, that's why I said it was "my own Ass Theory"

" Now we can be together in hell " is actually a reference to Montero.
