Severance Season Two Trailer Breakdown

[@KingOfWinter]

The hard-core fan in me wants them to release all the episodes at once so I can binge them all lol

[@JohnVance]

God I'd have to take a day off work

[@Random-hi2nv]

I thought I heard somewhere that it'll be released every Friday

[@SamanthaSerrano-p9n]

I mean yeah.... kinda the whole point of streaming all of us just wanna watch it a million times as soon as it's out it's stupid that they're copying tv weekly episodes for money I hate capitalism so much...

[@KingOfWinter]

@@SamanthaSerrano-p9n right! I also hate how KZbin channels that breakdown shows act like they have to do the whole show at once if it gets released like that. They could still do episode by episode week to week. Especially the bigger sites fans would still come back to every week to get a more detailed breakdown of their favorite movies and shows so I don’t get it either lol

The delay is also partially due to the SAG and WGA strike, if the company continues paying their creative stuff fairly(-ish, the new contracts ain't great XD) there won't be this big a delay until S3 fyi /gen

[@creativeliving4905]

Good one😂

[@Poppomatic64]

Just sever, the wait will be cut in half

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

Irving’s outie is definitely tapping into his innies buried conscious through his art with the sketch of Bert

[@milkypeanutsonafriday]

Saw a theory that Burt and Irv dated in real life before Burt got with his current partner. That's why they have such good chemistry and fall for each other as innies.

[@HannahG-nk2mf]

The sketches of Burt look younger tho, it’s more likely that their outies know each other from a past romance

[@RexMAIZER]

It’s also likely being held by Milchik.

[@steelfoot98]

I personally think rather than out Irv tapping into in Irv’s memory, it’s kind of the opposite. I think out Irv is trying to ingrain certain images into his subconscious using art in the hopes of steering in Irv in a certain direction.

[@LucySoo1]

Yeh it’s why he keeps himself awake all night, that’s why Irv falls asleep at his desk and sees the black paint seeping in

[@JohnVance]

I've wondered a lot about the "more than one innie per person" thing.

[@Boco_Corwin]

Buddies when ya need a beaver hat to birth a bunny any other day, it's "Heed the curse" ...and, "Don't disturb the mummy"

[@louisemerenda2901]

The concept of innie have a lot of common with the DID (dissociative identity disorder) so it's could work the same by splitting the mind

[@boazshaf]

The break room is called that cause that's where they break you

[@waanaabe-4795]

lol I wrote the same before reading you! U thought It was a clever (evil) play on words

[@thomashallmark4065]

Nothing beats the season one reveal that his wife is not only still alive, but now a permanent "innie" and ironically a psychiatrist.

[@shaymikes9141]

I feel like this season is going to be a reverse. Lumon might wipe there memories of the last few weeks so the innies will be clueless but now the outies will be aware of something not being right. But then the innies might run into someone from optics and designs and there like “bruh we just met you 2 weeks ago”

[@Justinee212]

Maybe that's the point in keeping departments apart - so if they need to erase memories of innies because of something - they do not have to do it to all employees

[@KabbalahSherry]

I cannot WAIT for this show to come back! What a revelation it was! ☺️🙌🏽📺 I'm so excited!

[@haxDOGMA]

Kabbalah 😻 can’t wait to dive into S2!

[@amisagniklahiri]

What a fantastic breakdown! You just got me really excited for Season 2, this feeling of anticipation is so refreshing, but then I realise there are months to go for Season 2 to arrive and that too, not at once 🙂

[@raining_trees]

6:43 milcheck was wearing white snowgear in another scene so thats probably milcheck running in the front

[@CSLintheCASINO]

Whaaaat!! I didn’t even know there was a trailer. So glad I’ve got Hax

[@haxDOGMA]

So glad I got you CSL!

[@theseeker3073]

11:01 there’s more than just Sea. Sehn - means to look, to see in German Seyn - obsolete spelling of “sein” meaning “to be” in German Sevha/Sevoa - this could refer to Sevā, in Hinduism, seva means selfless service Seve - means “service” in the Kannada language (written: ಸೇವೆ ) Sevez - this could be pointing to Francois Sevez WW2 general, Sevez was present at the German surrender in Reims, and signed the German Instrument of Surrender as the official witness Sever - divide by cutting

[@LucySoo1]

WOW. Your attention to detail and research is fantastic

[@cordalemiddleton9121]

I always felt that during the severance process lumen adjust data perception so I always believed that they maybe looking at words or mapping pictures but only visually comprehended numbers.. that's they reason they have feelings about the numbers because there looking at something familiar but can fully understand why the numbers stick out.... the same reason mark feels a connection to his therapist

[@haxDOGMA]

Oh! OH! This is such a wonderful theory.

[@bigadz0r]

They can perceive artwork and read from the manual amongst other things

[@cordalemiddleton9121]

@bigadz0r yeah but can they see maps and I would refer to westworld season 1-2 when there were places that the androids couldn't see or perceived... so if there wired to look at a map or some sort of grid feedback and only perceive numbers maybe whatever there mapping have obvious signs of being good or bad...... maybe there reviewing ads or people but only see numbers so if there outty sees these people or things it won't stick out a type of failsafe way to keep work confidential

[@bigadz0r]

@@cordalemiddleton9121 I had a feeling the numbers work might just have been pointless busy work keeping the team occupied while lumen analyse and program them to perfect the severance process and chips for greater world domination. I've been wrong multiple times before however!

[@cordalemiddleton9121]

@bigadz0r it maybe but have u seen the preclude story and the handbook because there was the situation with bombs and terrorists attacks or something like that so if there still perfecting there wasting money 💰

[@ChuckSticks1]

I think you hit the nail on the head with the “Janitorial” roles. Great catch.

[@candypan1]

I KNOW someone besides me caught him saying "Kiev" license plate instead of Kier

[@LucySoo1]

Yeh what was that about? Does he not know they live in Kier?

[@Lily-ni5po]

It might be Outie Irving's drawing. As you say, we know nothing about his life outside. Maybe Burt and Irving were exes outside, and his innie fell in love with the same man without knowing another him already lost Burt.

[@ryanthefatguy2634]

the room is the security room, and dylan looks confused. one of two things; they moved the room, like adding the doors, or his memory has been wiped

The Jumper cables" are just the clamp from the worklight she's using

[@timbeaton5045]

I thought they looked like one of those adjustable wrenches with a twist knob on the end for fine ajustement

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

A real severance trailer would make you forget every watched it, then watch it again in confusion before forgetting afterwards, whilst feeling divided about something, and not knowing what exactly.

[@SilverScale.]

Nice to see you back making videos, Hax! Looking forward to Severance S2.

[@ruthbennett7563]

That medical tool looks much more like a speculum (used for examining body orifices, ask any lady you know ‘cause we know/dread them only too well). It is interesting to me they read as « jumper cables » to you. Thank you for such an enjoyable video. I’m really looking forward to season 2.

[@haxDOGMA]

I also thought of speculum but it has two little holes toward the end that turned me away from this idea. Though it really could be!

[@VeXHarbinger]

@4:20 While you were looking at the pretty blue lights, didja happen to notice how they make the shape resembling the elevator light as the innies see it when going topside.

[@melissad2680]

The snapshot of all the variations populated from Sea looks like its languages. Like Severar sounds spanish while Sevoa and Severak sounds like other languages. Inferring severance is global.. or will be…love this show so much!

[@alarikaguilar7543]

0:36 🤯🤯🤯 just remembered something…….. during Burt G’s innie’s retirement party… the record/song that he chose to play after his recorded goodbye video message….. the first line/lyrics of the song were…. “Good morning yesterday”…… this just triggered the connection of these dots… could be nothing, could be something!

[@LucySoo1]

I’ve always thought that the files they work on are actually names of people. And that they’re deleting that person’s ability to experience the emotions they feel when they capture those numbers. Feeling scared, angry, happy etc (the 4 pillars in the handbook, I can’t remember the exact terms). I feel like it’s connected to the testing floor, because Ms Casey certainly isn’t able to fully feel emotion, but then when she did show some emotion she got sent back down. So maybe her file wasn’t at 100%

[@ellen4956]

The files they work on are names of actual places.

[@MoreOfSiren]

Finallyyyyyyyy, i been waiting for this show to come back 😭

[@thejesuschrist]

I think the headscarf is religious, not janitorial. I think perhaps a member of the Lumin family?

[@casper4191]

Jesus christ watches peak

[@billa2321]

that tool Ragahbi is holding is a locking grip plier

[@ShadowDogProduction]

Here's what I find interesting. We know the core personality of a person doesn't change when they get severed. Mark is basically the same person inside as out, he just has different information to work off of and respond to. Given that, think about how over the top rebellious Helly is. That is her personality to the core. Incredibly, obnoxiously rebellious. Does that sound like somebody who would be an ass kissing Daddy's Girl corporate shill on the outside? Or does it sound like somebody who would pretend to play along until she sees a way to burn everything to the ground? I think Helly wanted to be Severed because she knew she was the kind of person who would be a massive pain in the ass inside and expose everything. I think Helly is the best kind of double agent ... the kind that doesn't realize they are one.

[@yousawnothin]

I doubt it’s that. I’m pretty sure it’s more surface level and when they’re severed they act the opposite of what they’re supposed to act. There’s no way helly has this master plan to take down lumon for the greater good or else they would’ve touched on that in the first season. She will probably turn to the good side though eventually.

[@Zaza_Grady]

I thought it was a manifestation of her entitlement plus a headstrong personality. But maybe!! I like your theory

[@LucySoo1]

The fact that she was willing to let her innie try and kill herself, maim herself etc and then threaten that if she hurts herself she will be kept there in utter misery

[@ellen4956]

@@yousawnothin When we see Helly's procedure done in season one, they don't put the chip as far as it's supposed to go. People discussed that at the time.

[@Nomihc]

What if Helly’s outy became a major antagonist that we root against while her inny remained a protagonist that we cheer for during season 2? I just think the juxtaposition would be really cool!

[@pesky-media]

Those jumper cables look more like vise grip locking pliers to me but I could be mistaken

[@youtubespag]

I think it's likely that macrodata refinement is testing the effectiveness of the severance procedure. They identify strings of numbers that have significance to the characters outies' past

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

I don’t think that’s the case, due to the short story they released that suggests it has implications outside the characters personal lives.

[@youtubespag]

@@christopherlyndsay8611 I haven't heard of this. Is this the Lexington letters or something else?

[@LucySoo1]

@@youtubespagyeh in the Lexington letter. However it was just one person’s opinion because the timing was very coincidental. I feel like they wouldn’t have dropped such a big spoiler in there though

[@somejackball]

is it possible in the last scene, Helly and Mark have found themselves on the Testing Floor? they seem really freaked out, and acting like they've never seen anything like this place 🤔just an idea!

@@haxDOGMA So mine (and Eddie's, interestingly) first thought seeing Gwendoline was Cobel's shrine. I'd like to go look at that shrine again. I think it was the soot on her face and the kerchief that made me think of that? Am I crazy? We have a long time to find out!

[@BobMcBurger1]

6:07 isn't that the door to the security room? Since the entrance looks exactly the same. Fire extinguisher to the left from that perspective makes me think this.

One thing a lot of people missed is the other overide "Programs" i cant remember what they were now and dont have apple tv anymore, but if someone goes back and read the programs it spilled the beans.

I remember one was beehive, because it seemed to relate to when Ricken is talking to Mark about hiking and says, "remember all those bees?"

[@thecreatorc]

Those are pliers holding the light, not jumper cables!

[@Nitzah]

I wonder if in fact multiple innies exist, they start to become less and less of a person in the sense that you’re continuing to bifurcate a person into smaller and smaller parts. At some point I feel like they would be extremely fractured pieces of the whole that occupy such a small space in the brain that they’d be rather limited in their existence, though if Lumon wants to create mindless drones that might serve them well

[@dorkultra]

The outside of the Lumon building looks the same to me, just that it's nighttime and we can see the atrium area along with the lights. The lighting on episode 9 is more white and in the season 2 trailer it's more blue

[@LucySoo1]

Yeh I really doubt they would have had a refurb given they used a real building that was built by a well-known architect in like the 60s

[@foley15136]

What I don’t understand is why everyone down there is almost child-like, but Helly. She comes in, and remains, very skeptical. She’s discontented. She’s way more curious than the others. She’s driven to get out more. She’s very extreme in everything. I’m not saying that it’s a bad trait. I’m just saying that she’s nothing like the others. Why is that? Does her chip work differently? Is it that there’s just some people that don’t adapt or accept their situation, and aren’t as curious?

[@NeverEverNever-a2cg]

I believe it's because she's rich and accustomed to certain privileges. Her nurture and nature dueling. I don't think they are more child like but so sad. They are compartmentalize and can't control what all is repressed. Your memory may go but the feeling is still there. Like Mark said, he didn't want to reintegration. WHY does this process cause you to die? Is it a hormone flood. Or something that needs to be processed with intensive therapy. With EMT?

[@markanderson7236]

Like Helly, Mark used to be that way too. It seems that the break room environment and his friendship with Petey have conditioned him to be subservient.

[@LucySoo1]

Don’t forget the rest of them have been there for years by now. They were conditioned to know what happens when they break the rules or question things. Like a rat being electrocuted, they become subservient

[@ellen4956]

During season one, we see the procedure being done on Helly. The chip is not implanted as far as it's supposed to go. I remember several people pointing that out. That might have something to do with it.

[@waanaabe-4795]

You mention the naming of things being misleading: but "break room" being the place they use to "break" you is not so much a misnomer as it is a form foreshadowing? I wonder if there are more of these.

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

7:46 with the shot about Mark Running, this looks like the new title sequence to me, or at least a new element of the title sequence.

[@kenyattayarbrough6599]

The way they frame Helly in this scene of her walking you can make out a reflection of light or something that makes it look like the down elevator symbol above her

[@tybrown7112]

The only thing on the top floor is “The Board” so she’s probably going to go with all to “Them.”

[@alanl9497]

What was Dylan referring to? 10:29

[@rachelblakely9252]

What I think would be most chilling is if Helly’s outie doesn’t have a successful cover-up for the poor treatment of innies, but that doesn’t matter. So many people would be content to turn a blind eye to the innie’s suffering because they see them as “less than,” and the innie’s purpose was too great a benefit to the shareholders or whatever people were at that party to concern themselves over the wellbeing of the severed employees. Don’t know how I’d feel about it, but it would be an eerie reflection of the real world.

[@Thomasfoolery69]

I think they've already said how they were all the face of severance reform and that they were heroes so I'm sure the public didn't like to hear what helly said

[@cordalemiddleton9121]

Yeah I think ether mark or Irving is going to a rebel like group to get unsevered

[@HappyCodingZX]

The combination of Irving being gay on the inside, but having served in the military on the outside tells me that his outie is latently gay, and quite possibly homophobic and self-loathing - all down to his conditioning. Likely somewhat similar to the Frank character in American Beauty. Should make for an interesting storyline.

[@katwashere194]

I was in the Navy and there are a LOT of gay people, not latent, just not out yet.

[@ChainsGoldMask]

9:36 just a clamp, not a jumper cable.

looks like vice grips more than jumper cables but regardless, menacing. Just re-watched season 1 to get prepared. I forgot how much I had forgotten! (Maybe I've secretly been severed? Like, my wife severed me so I'd forget that I've been doing dishes every day for months and each day I gleefully attack another pile of dishes. In fact, I would probably volunteer to be severed just so I don't remember the sheer number of dishes I had to do yesterday and will again do today and tomorrow)

3 figures running - first one is Mark, second is Irving judging by the shadows and the third is a female judging by the jacket, so that's Helly. Alternative, Mark, his sister and brother-in-law.

We have more disabled people living in the USA than gays or trans yet oddly in just about every show. We all know why and those that don't are part of the problem. Cheers.
