Subcontra -EL Phase 2-

[@marvelousmadmen832]

If you read the description, you realize that Elmerniris knows that he is in not only a fictional universe, but in a video. When I see him on the screen, it seems like he’s moving forward. As if he is coming right for us viewers.

[@GuidingLightAngel]

Honestly, I could see a phase 3 description after a cutscene of Elmerninis questioning how Kirby is even keeping up. "Nothing is truly infinite, everything has a limit, it just may take some time to find where it ends, break your limits and bring him to his. Finish what you started. Save the ones you care about!"

[@GuidingLightAngel]

Hopefully this fits.

[@fallingstars5683]

Do you remember, Kirby? The last time you felt so close to hopelessness, to being afraid, you had plunged yourself into the darkness by choice. You had no idea what awaited you inside, and there was no turning back when faced with the abyss. But, at least then, you had your friends to stand beside you. This time, you are alone. The darkness has pulled you in by force. He is determined to devour you, unbending in his goals. You are the only one still left able to face him, your friends pulled away from you. You stand in front of him, blindly fighting, with no one to help. There is only one option open to you now, the same as the first time: *Tough it out.*

However, Phase 3 is still in development, so the battle's not over yet. We'll see what happens next time.

If Contra Void and Soul Tesseract reduced the world to 0, then Elmerninis reduced the world to ___. The value of nothing, versus no value at all.

What I love about these original characters is that, they are absurd, they can blend reality to their will, they snap their fingers and destroy reality. The music fits always because it's not terrifying, it's just that us as mere mortals we cannot understand this beings, so not even fear fits the emotion they carry. They're definitive, they're the typical enemy that in fiction the protagonist only defeat because of pure luck, or the only thing you can call victory is to run from them, from their inevitable destruction. But this is Kirby, where Kirby is the reincarnation from a being who represents EXISTING by itself, Void. It doesn't matter how powerful the enemy is, Kirby has infinite power, Kirby is shaped like a friend, and will always save the day. Not because he has friends, not because he is determined, he can do it because he's a creature more distorted that any Eldritch Horror can wish to be, not even reality can hold the concept of Kirby. Kirby is the consciousness of reality reborn as happiness, and can't be stopped, in any form, in any way. Luckily, he'll always dream of naps, friends and food, for such a being, this is more than enough. It's his vision, and will always prevalent, because it's what we understand as existence, because he's existence with a consciousness, in every dimension. It's canon that enemies don't understand how such powerful creature ended up in Dream Land, in Planet Pop Star. He doesn't understand anything either, he's a baby from the stars, but he doesn't need to, the universe will be forced to understand him. And... As long as there's cake, a good tree to sleep under and funny things to do, I think we'll do okay!

i've listened to it a few times. i won't lie, this one's probably my favorite right now. -i love how elmerninis's form seems both comprehendible and incomprehensible at the same time. like we're only catching a glimpse of what he really looks like. -i won't lie, hearing a evil laugh like that for no reason irl would make me terrified, especially if i looked up and saw a cosmic battle against a deity. -i like how the music fits with the transition at 1:44, it feels like you're descending into some sort of cosmic space beyond any comprehension. definitely fits with the imagery present after the transition as well. pretty genius how you nailed that. -when what i'll call "elmer's black hole" appears in the first parts of the song, i assumed it was a set piece with no real value to it. during the second part, i felt like it doubled as a way to show elmerninis's power. during the last part of this, i noticed that the black hole behind elmerninis was the only one to lack any sort of "sparkle", aside from a flow of particles leaving it. i feel like this shows something about elmerninis, perhaps it could show how he lacks any "sparkle" within him, or it could be the final remnant of his home universe? i have no idea, but theorizing like this is fun! -|Galaxies| 999B || |Controlled| 🕭 -I like that VHS ending. Gives me vibes of some Analog Horror series, like Local 58, intentional or not of course! overall, i say this song is amazing. 999B/10 would get a game over in the maze again.

[@toottootsonicwarrior5777]

Just like the official Kirby games. Darkmatter's influence extends to ALL corners of the universe...

[@warioland523]

This is debatably the strongest hypothetical form of Dark Matter for Kirby there is. He seems to be completely omnipotent in every sense his power is starting too apparently seep into other realities to the point where he's gaining self awareness that he is a being of a fictional reality and is obtaining a form of fictional transcendence. The real question is how on earth would Kirby even fight this thing? Both phases seem to be glorified survival fests. He can't even put a dent in Elmerninis. Maybe there's a phase 3 where Kirby can actually damage him but even then it's not going to be an easy fight. He has every inhabitant of every reality aside from Kirby under his control it seems as shown by the Elmer's Friend's description. Kirby is truly facing this thing alone.

Getting so powerful he slowly starts breaking the 4th wall. 🧱 🧱 🧱 💥

[@warioland523]

I always think the most dangerous villains are those that gain metaversal level of power or are metaversal level. These beings are true omnipotents in every sense of the word being able to transcend all of reality in fiction to the point where they can even break the 4th wall completely in ways that are disturbing. These beings are often seen as the greatest threat in any form of fiction. It really makes one wonder how on earth Kirby would be able to defeat a metaversal level threat. Part of me really wishes that Nintendo should see this video and make this an actual villain in a future Kirby game or make a villain with a similar idea. Kirby in each passing game seems to be fighting villains of increasing threat with 2 most recent villains namely Star Dream and Void being universal scale god threats. This would be the next logical step.

But hey, nothing wrong with that! This phase is also pretty calm and consistent for the most part compared to Phase One's chaotic and being all over the place.

[@DesoloZantas]

Elmerninis is a Being from outside the Universe. That's equivalent to a Qubit reading on a normal computer. The Universe isn't designed for things like this to happen. So the Universe is gonna be glitching. Even tho the Universe has the ability to self-correct and adapt to paradoxes. It's the reason why the universe cannot be destroyed, but it can be altered. AntiNihilty is like saying 1 and 0 at the same time. Like a Qubit, its both. A paradox is like a glitch or a bug to a universe. When then Universe finally adapts to create a new logic for this being to exist. That's when Elmerninis start to act like some kind of quantum computer virus and takes over billions of computer at the same time. The Omniverse is more like the internet. A web that connects to lot of computers... and yes that means he is also taking over other universes as well as this one at the same time. I'll explain in the next phase just make sure to remind me.
