I’d like to believe James Dean may have “defeated” or at least wounded the original Horned Serpent (Washington) in such a way that as a helmet it’s more symbolic that “the horned serpent lives”, he’s basically taken up the honorary mantle of Horned Serpent in this new universe, imposing his godlike will upon it. The weird insistence on determinism in the video leaves me to believe that Dean is just no different, he was always destined to be ripped from his home universe, be gifted with immense power and charisma over the new and inevitably arrive in the Nixonverse because it’s the only logical course of action as this bizarre eldritch creature he’s seem to become.

@Callahan1998 I don't think so, I think the carcrash was shown to imply that he somehow survived it by being like that or something. Also, the title "last son of Alcatraz" would make sense because the people in the Deanverse had their cells replaced by Alcatraz. This also might be implied here because they say that he has different cells from everyone. But, in the end, I'm not sure either.

Really hammering on the free will aspect here. Did the other universe have free will? Is everything set in motion the way it has to be? How does that notion of an in universe predetermination change when an outside agent gets involved? Someone not accounted for in the predetermined formula? Is the Knight a wrench thrown into the machine, or did the machine expect the wrench to be thrown in so that it could function properly? You've opened a whole new line of thought. A new way to approach the series. This new plot line opens up so much more existentially than it already did prior, which is a remarkable feat. It's so mind-bending, and you continue to manage to bend our minds past the point of brittle failure. It truly is amazing to witness such an impressive narrative play out.

[@halberd-3291]

Interesting that the first video of the Nixonverse was called "the Last Son of Alcatraz," in reference to Superman, "The Last Son of Krypton." And now this video is called "the D-Day Knight," maybe as a reference to Batman, the Dark Knight? Considering that both of these videos have had the given genre of "analogue superhorror" it's safe to assume that the classic superhero allusions will likely continue. Non meta things aside, I think we can safely conclude that whatever this being is, a remnant of the Horned Serpent, or James Dean, or both of them, or neither, it seems likely that the images of it as some kind of superman figure are doctored, they look nothing like the helmet. They seem to be propaganda possibly spurred on by the superhuman being itself. Side note, that helmet looks like a human or human-adjacent skull with pieces of bone from some strange creature, possibly the Horned Serpent. EDIT: If you notice, the helmet of the "Knight" actually looks like a stretched out tricorn... like one formerly George Washington Horned Serpent. Did this creature kill the Horned Serpent and is now wearing its bones? Has Dean, or whatever it is taken up the mantle of the Horned Serpent, hence "the horned serpent lives?"

[@halberd-3291]

@dead Yeah it seems like that. I was just confused by the “the horned serpent lives” bit.

[@Glisten456]

One thing I find interesting is that while what we dub "SuperDean" in Last Son of Alcatraz has obvious parallels to Superman, but the D-Day Knight has parallels to Batman, this leads me to think that these two are not the same character, but formed out of similar circumstances (The Horned Serpent's destructions) EDIT: To add to this, should my theory be correct, it would be very interesting to see if SuperDean and D-Day Knight end up battling or at least a Superman/Batman rivalry.

So what I 'm getting from this video, is that this was SoA (son of Alcatraz's) first appearance in the Nixonverse. The last video was an introduction to the new setting, an overview about the different world and its main differing factor, Dean dead and SoA's presence. The later narration implied a developing fear of SoA, how he fought alongside americans at first, but might one day conquer the US. But in this video he showed up fresh from the Deanverse's apocalypse to Nixonverse on D Day, wearing the trophy of his first kill, the hollowed skull of Hanodgears. It got knocked off right away, and he focused on saving lives of americans instead of retrieving it. That's how it ended up buried and eventually excavated by Nixonverse historians. His first nickname by the general public was that of the D-Day Knight, which mirrors Batman's "Dark Knight" title. Just guessing at this point, but I think that might mean the next couple of videos might reference the Flash and Wonder Woman. Maybe his title in this universe isn't Superman, but Wonderman. Following on the nameplay, perhaps another intervention involves him using super speed and that earns him the moniker of "The Blur". Speculation aside, I'm curious to see where this goes, and if it goes wrong somehow. Because right now, SoA is a benevolent savior to the American people. If someone was later afraid of him, was there good reason, or was there a Lex Luthor to SoA's Superman? A man hellbent on destroying him out of a personal vendetta, or inferiority complex.

And it pretty much stops the idea of them being the same character because James Dean if it really is him he’s pretty much fighting back and they did say that there were survivors on the other side of Wonderland who were basically members of the great divide so the corner folk might be for all intensive purposes newly transformed super humans living in a corner world but the strongest out of all of them might also be James Dean who is so close to the primorial source that he’s probably just as strong if not stronger than this horned serpent George Washington but we’ll have to wait and see Alex gorgeous say that both of these guys are different

[@mattmetawolf8634]

@@Kiss_My_Aspergers I would assume so

[@dixonballes2940]

@@mattmetawolf8634 It seems like Dean's abilities all can stem from moving through the corner world. Changing shape, flying, that all can be explained as him moving through corners in such a way as to fold himself precisely in the way he needs to.

[@PixlPixel]

The skull/helmet being vaguely shaped like a bicorn is such a good detail

[@henryszytko9142]

I would really love to watch a entire movie about the "Last son of alcatraz" It would be like the supeman world, but creepier

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Why must HE live? Why must IT live? Edit: Ironic that they deem him as one with free will, when in reality come the final parts of the season, *he never even had it from the very beginning.*

[@MrSkull-qe7tb]

I like how they don’t specify “superhero”, they just call him a free man who can change lives.

[@itsuadman]

The D-Day Knight's helmet is goddamn wicked looking. Whoever mocked that up did an excellent job! Edit: Just saw the end credit, amazing job toomanycooks, really it's fantastic

[@Neutronin]

This is the best series i saw in all of my life, the universe are so much good, great musics and a great story

[@RealSquidShady]

I have no idea what direction this is going, and neither do the people of Dean’s America

[@drphiI]

The Mythos lives on. Excited to see where this goes.

love it, the idea that a superhero helped the Allied forces on D day

The whole "free will" part gave me so many jojo stone ocean ending vibes ngl. And I dig it

[@billul1]

Superhero lovecraftian horror is exactly what I need

[@spectreg3]

The most random recommendation considering I watched this series in full over a year ago. I’ll rewatch it now

[@ShadeMeadows]

*THAT SKULL IS BADASS.*

[@steampunkfox1411]

That Helmet is the most metal thing I've ever seen

[@vampsith]

Ngl, somebody’s gonna build a replica of that helmet

[@hahahello7519]

his description sounds like he could be Airforce One Angel, as the angel also had free will consisted of several soldiers who were determined to die.

[@a.arshad5999]

I love the fact that Washington's Bicorn hat (Bicorn meaning to have two horns) turned into the literal horns of the serpent as he got stretched out. Wordplay in this series goes bananas

[@jalengeneblazo1772]

Everyone gangster until the spectator gets smacked in creative mode

[@camthehorrorfan]

Hell yes, so glad this series is back! Legit has the most fascinating lore in Analog Horror, so damn underrated 🤟

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

The Knight reminds me of The Torch Of Liberty from the early Hellboy comics- a “Superman”-like hero who deployed with the Allied Forces.

[@bunkerzero]

As they say: "freewill is an illusion"

[@southhoney]

its official, that helmet is the coolest thing i have ever seen

[@alwaysbeenthecaretaker]

so it's clear that the hypnotic capabilities of Dean from the past universe have Carried over. no wonder everyone was helpless to his charms

Don't worry guys it's not like he's gonna throw a woman off a building

Haha! Oh...........

[@brendandangelo715]

It's like a whole new series that is taking pieces of the previous, which I guess makes sense. I'm interested to see where this will go, but I'm also concerned. Is anyone else waiting for another shoe to drop?

[@alucardtheno-lifeking2556]

I'm just waiting for shit to hit the fan.

[@wraithofaces]

washington has got one great taste for fashion. great hat you got there

[@Jkr1768]

The fact there’s like fur or flesh and teeth still in the helmet makes way more disturbing

[@Falcorria]

The head of the helmet looks a lot like what they put in the death ray.

[@CoinWasher]

No wonder the Angel was so angry at the Horned Serpent. They used parts of his skull for the Death Ray that atomized them.

[@OmartheOnar]

The Horned Serpent Lives.

[@gatochick14]

Kal-el having a goth phase, I see. Jokes aside, if the helmet is to be believed, then the photo of the knight with his arms outstretched may actually be him wearing the helmet instead. Makes me wonder if his body is all kinds of jacked up and the silhouettes are deceiving.

[@madookamagooka743]

One day I'm gonna have a jar of weed, a giant white board, and one other crazy friend who will binge this whole series with me and we try to piece it together.

Alex, is MM now just a superhero show?

No,is a new series focused in the nixonverse just look the playlists
