Every Sonic game is blasphemous | Unraveled

You might think Sonic the Hedgehog has a storied history, but Brian David Gilbert is here to unravel why that history is completely wrong.

[adamrollins]

BDG revealing he's never played a Sonic game 10 minutes into the video felt like he stabbed me in the chest with a knife and then explained in full detail why I was in the wrong for it

[seansliger]

"But for Sonic, I'm willing to bend my values a bit"- is possibly the most cursed quote I have ever heard in my adult years

[MarcyNabors]

"You are literally pitting Sonic, a hedgehog without a father, against the man who became his father figure and then turned evil thanks to the machines that Sonic helped create."
hold up isn't that just the plot of Insomniac's Spider-Man game

[FinalGamerJames]

Finally, the mystery of where I once heard the name Kintobor YEARS ago in some obscure magazine and I had sworn to friends up and down that Sonic had once been friends with him before he turned evil into Robotnik, was NOT something I hallucinated as a child, but a sign that I too, was blessed by the small whispers of the true hog and his origins.

I am ready for the crusade emeralds brian please

[amanduh]

I love that every one of these videos are a real version of the “in this essay I will” meme

[hannahrohlfing]

In this episode, Brian loses his grip on whatever sanity might have remained, and also starts a cult

"i promise I won't get all political"

"EITHER SONIC IS A GOD, OR COULD KILL GOD, AND I DO NOT CARE IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE"

[ShotzInTheLight]

So, in the first 3 minutes, this man straight up declares every sonic game EVER to be fanfic. I love it

[chamuchamupalchamperry]

"Biblical Literism was basically an early form of fandom"

I am astounded at your truth

[birdbird]

"EITHER HE *IS* A GOD, OR COULD *KILL* GOD, AND I DO NOT *CARE* IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!" Is FAR too raw of a line to have come from a video about sonic the hedgehog

[ShyLeviathan]

Also I'm fairly certain that the 7 Chaos Emeralds are just a representation of the Seven Sins, which only gives the "Sonic is god" theory more backing

[ahobbit]

I really hate how when “Kintobor” was flashing across the screen, I misread it as “Kinktober.”
...I need to stop spending so much time on AO3.

[GroundThing]

With the admission that he's never played a sonic game, I'm suddenly not convinced that BDG has ever played any of the games he's done an unraveled on, and honestly, that probably makes it better.

[lastlife]

"The bible was written to make a character more marketable to kids in the '90s." Is a fantastic out of context quote.

[humanboulder.]

Kintobor is literally Robotnik am livid.

[notablegoat]

"Let's get sonically fundamental."
"I'm not going to read this Bible in its entirity."
Good job, you've got being a religious fundamentalist down pat

[rafeverao]

"But for Sonic, I'm willing to bend my values a bit"


*_10 minutes later_*


"So I have formed my religion around Sonic the Hedgehog."

Just a note: Hardy, Nebraska is in Nuckolls county, and yes that is pronounced as Knuckles
