Collective Consciousness

Memes are the DNA of a soul

[goldexp]

If this video reaches 100k by the end of June I will drink water

[salternjalter]

Of course the Joker got the society line

[TFEngineerGamingOfficial.]

0:28 "LIVE IN IGNORANCE AND PURCHASE YOUR HAPPINESS" Kirby says calmly

[SnipingIsAGoodJobMate]

0:14
This single text box is menacing as fuck, imagine it popping up randomly on your playthrough

[Khint]

Ramza: "let your country control your soul"

Ramza in his original game: *does the absolute opposite*

[voidishprattles]

The fact the song is called collective consciousness and is also making use of iconic video games and video game moments that exist within our collective consciousness via memes... just makes this whole thing a bit wavy.

The Mickey, Jotaro, Joker, and the final image all fit really well.

[LCTesla]

1:27 I could definitely see Cambell explaining a high level concept like "collective consciousness" to Snake while Snake reflects on every minor little detail like "huh, I never realized people were influenced by mass psychology. Are you saying the elite use this to their advantage..?"

[Pyrosy]

And the "worst" part is...

the images fits very well with the lyrics (especially the joker one)

[Sorrelhas]

"Hey Mickey, what's your take on the people criticizing Disney's practices as monopolistic?"

[Mrkabrat]

0:59 Even when out of focus, you can clearly *feel* Sams smug grin

[matthewfletcher]

Most of these images were picked randomly but that mickey feels super intentional

Edit:damn this comment blew up

The quotes in the song actually make sense for the games they're displayed on.

For example, 0:29 shows "Live in ignorance and purchase your happiness" on a Kirby's Adventure pause screen, this fits because the Kirby series is known for "If you ignore the lore, it's happy"

0:35 shows a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure arcade menu with "Blood and sweat is the real cost", which is fitting considering it's a fighting game

0:39 shows "Thinking ceases, the truth is lost" on an Etch-A-Sketch, where Etch-A-Sketches are very hard to write on so you often can't decipher what the writing/truth says

0:41 shows Super Mario 64's introduction paired with "Don't you worry, you'll be told exactly what to do" because Super Mario 64, as well as the series as a whole, is known for it's casual nature and being filled with tutorials and hints to help you out

0:11 Mickey Mouse saying "Their voices won't be heard at all" and Joker's 1:17 "Making whole the fabric of society" are oddly fitting.

[Nununununu]

1:19
Using the joker for this part was a genious move

[soupmans]

0:35 “You can’t pay back what you owe with money!”

[THEncrtrooper]

"Collective Conciousness controlled as you will see."
"Snake, we can still here you."
"Fuck"

[idkfrothy]

I really do love the escalation from “yeah, that could fit in the game” or “that’s probably actual dialogue” to just suddenly have personalized copies of Mario 64 and Kirbo

[Jaydenbb]

0:12 has to be the most threatening thing I've ever seen

[superiorpesto]

The Dracula one is pretty fitting since in the same dialogue Richter and him are talking about how merely powerful humanity truly is. Saying "they cannot make the judgement call" makes sense since it talks about how humans are so powerless against darkness and fear.
