The Oldest View - Dispersal

[nistarok]

8:59 Respect to the giant for sticking neatly to the right side of the road & respecting the speed limits.

when he made it to the stairs, i couldn't believe my eyes, it felt like it was wrong, it felt wrong getting to see what i wanted to happen many months ago, something turning out right had never felt so wrong

[reomemewagon]

most unrealistic part of this was him leaving his kia unattended and it still being there.

[dagdamor]

What I found kinda funny and wholesome was the Rolling Giant’s PoV changing from a laser-focus on chasing Wyatt to looking around the countryside as he drives by.

“Hey, this is actually pretty relaxing. Oh look, some cows.”

[NerfMason]

Me personally I would’ve gone up those stairs on all 4s like a child because everyone knows that’s the superior stair climbing technique

[jojo]

The cameraman either has a ton of adrenaline or is an Olympic track athlete.

[TheRealVastile]

I can't wait for "Rolling to New York: The Rolling Giant in the Big Apple", where we'll see Rolling Giant accidently find himself in wacky scenarios, such as when he mistakenly becomes a player in a NY Giants game or when he falls in love with one of the autonomous police robots rolling around a subway.

[Zombiegg]

The absolute dread of realizing the thing at the end isn't a car

[PIGselGames]

I really like that we essentially got the good ending of the guy making it out alive. But the end has me thinking he's still being hunted by the rolling giant.

[ReiSilver]

Can you imagine being a driver on the road and seeing The Giant cruising at a reasonable clip past you?

[scpstudio]

Imagine thinking you’re safe and then checking your rear view mirror only to see the giant going 80mph behind you

The stairs collapsing suddenly with no dust or debris, the lack of water damage despite all of the rain, plants and trees suddenly appearing in places where they weren't before and couldn't possibly survive, the dead horse for a few frames, him falling, then not falling, the lights working even though there's no infrastructure, the exit to the street being completely embedded in the rock face, him falling in the mall but then suddenly being outside in the sunlight...

It all points to one thing.

Time, in this place, is not linear, and it's course is not static. Neither are spatial relationships.

The reference at the end suggests that this mall was built by some ancient human civilization, long forgotten, slipping through time and space to find itself deep in the hillside, as if teleported there.

Unlike the backrooms, this structure has a function and a purpose. It was designed and clearly occupied at some point.

The space itself is not distorted or out of place, but everything around it is.

**gets back home** "Oh no, I left the lens cap on the WHOLE TIME?!"

[JB_Xbox]

I like the subtle clue that his GPS was upside down and he had to flip it around. He entered an alternate timeline.

[surge]

The shot where it looks like he gets to the top but there's another stair case is the most anxiety inducing thing I've seen in a long time. Great video.

[Xeorboom]

I love how the final Giant PoV is just him going around the place, he's not evil and he no longer cares about hunting Wyatt

[wimpwampwomp]

I can't believe Kane took the time to invent the city of Dallas for this series. Bravo, Mr. Pixels

[ApolloTyphoon]

As for the ending, I don’t think the rolling giant physically leaves the mall but rather, as the protagonist drives away he carries the memory of the mall and the giant, (down the road) with him, effectively ‘dispersing’ them.
I definitely feel like idea of being forgotten is a big theme in the series which is also why we see the quote about how little of human history we actually remember.

[Leonhart]

Love this series because I grew up with valley view and still live close by

[sneakydaddyman]

The stairs when he is running up keep repeating every like 10 steps. Might symbolise the fact he is in a timeloop or that he is literally going nowhere forever having the Giant right behind him.
