The Physical Ammonomicon | Review & Analysis

This video took me a while for a few reasons, mainly a bunch of stuff I've been trying to work through emotionally and some sort of creative block. I kept trying to work on it, and I just couldn't force myself to.
I got it done in the end though, so I hope nobody thinks I died.

Long Robotic Eggs.

[@Nevernamed]

First off, I want to apologize. I made way too many vocal flubs during this (long robotic eggs, really?) and I just feel like you all deserve better. I will start making a conscious effort to improve my speech. At this point, if I had to re-record all my audio, all of this would have fallen apart. This video really did push me quite a bit. It was undoubtedly fun, but it took a toll, and if I'd have had to do it all over again, I would have started resenting it. On a different note, I also feel like this is one of my least defensible videos. I at least try to be transformative in my discussions of Enter the Gungeon, and for the most part I think I am, but one thought that kept worming it's way into my mind while making this was; "Am I really any different to that guy who just scans and uploads a PDF version of the book by doing this?". That's a question that I still don't know the answer to. But I figured moping over it wasn't helping anyone, and that if people legitimately didn't like the video, I'd know about it soon enough. I need to strive to get better, and I am. Thank you all for sticking with me.

[@jollyollie2126]

I was a bit taken aback at how small the book was; I had thought the book was more along the size of a grandiose tome. And some clarifications on pop culture references: The Alien Sidearm kin is a crude approximation of the Halo Grunt.

Z and the Gatling Gull, at 17:30... It’s interesting to note that Z isn’t wearing his eyepatch as far as I can tell, and is also holding his eye like it’s injured. I mean, I seriously doubt it’s canon, unless the Gattling Gull actually didn’t originate from the Gungeon and they duked it out beforehand, but it looks to me like the Gull is the one who took Z’s eye out. Just saying.

[@lianaverwood9810]

With the 'A Farewell to Arms' Expansion and this video, I may have figured out a loose timeline for the Gungeon... The Story begins when The Gunslinger enters The Gungeon, and delves right into Bullet Hell. After defeating the unknown Master of the Gungeon (We don't actually know because it gets replaced by a Glitched version of The Gunslinger's future self, The Lich), he is revered like a God by the denizens of The Gungeon - he decides to stay and protect the inhabitants of this place, so no other evils corrupt it. Spend too long among the Gundead however, and you will eventually join them... Sometime after the Gunslinger's passing, the monstrous lord Cannon begins his conquest of the Gungeon alongside his dark priest Ahgunim. He kills the Old Bullet King and takes the Throne for himself. A Hero of Legend attempts to stop him, but falls to the Dark King. Cannon's conquest takes him all the way to Bullet Hell, where he is finally defeated by the Gunslinger at the cost of his life. As Ahgunim is about to declare himself the new ruler of the Gungeon, The Gunslinger's corpse becomes filled with unholy energy - the Gunslinger has accepted an offer from the otherworldly being Kaliber in order to continue guarding the Gungeon from those like Ahgunim and Cannon. Ahgunim flees after the Lich rises to face him... Decades later, Three Bulletkin come across a set of Dentures (possibly Sir Manuel's or Blockner's) and some Sunglasses - only two of the three could have them, and they were transformed by the magicks of The Gungeon into Smiley and Shades. The third Bulletkin broke up with them, and desperately searched further within the Gungeon for its own Item to evolve with - eventually coming across the Lead Throne of the Bullet King. Having been abandoned after Cannon's destruction, the Bulletkin decided to claim the throne, and become the New Bullet King... The Lich, having had the previous bearer attempt to conquer The Gungeon, came up from Bullet Hell to confront the new King. They quickly learned their place, and was spared from the Lich's wrath - thus the Gungeon returned to a stable state... ...until a group of new Gungeon Delvers arrived in The Breach, seeking the means to Kill their regretful Pasts...

In terms of Cannon and the litch I think Cannon was actually an invading force on the Gungeon at one point, but was stopped by the Bullet and the litch was able to rule unstopped once again (also I feel like the unlockable characters such as the robot and the litch feel like we're more reliving their pasts intsead of rewriting them)

The alien sidearm kin is a Halo reference to those super weak enemies that wield the alien sidearm

[@applesauce359]

My theory on the cannon vs. lich thing. Cannon and lich were once friends trying to conquer a kingdom to be their own. But, when the lich found the gungeon without cannon, cannon freaked out. And proceeded to kill his friend, the lich. The lich was then sent to bullet hell while cannon was conquering the lich’s kingdom. The lich proceeded to escape bullet hell and fought cannon in a endless duel. But in the end, the lich won. Well, that is my theory.

[@applesauce359]

Correct your spelling please and thank you

I think you’re wrong because Cannon’s fight is really easy.

Absolute UNIT of a Bullet Kin

[@Macanick_]

according to the info from the cannon's description, agunim suceed to take gungeon from the lich, using gundeads betray thier master, promise better life and furture for them. so cannon suceed to conquer gungeon from lich and get rid of him into bullet hell, but unnable to control the gungeon itself and "reloading the room" because only true gungeon master know how it works. so lich trapped in bullet hell since that happen, and gungeon just stayed in that state also lots of people coming in, looking for gun that can kill the past.
