My Final Thoughts of the Ending Cutscene and Origins

[AlphaOmega]

So must of us, by now, have seen the ending cutscene and Origins. Was it worth it? Was it the "Answer" to our questions?

My theory is: Yes and No.

How is it Yes?

I believe that Origins was another way of telling a story. It truly was the beginning but at the same time, the end. How is this possible? Simply through Parable. For those of you who dont know what a parable is, it is a story that is meant to have a deeper meaning. Origins is exactly that.

We see the beginning of everything. However, we should only take away the "Big Picture".

-The MAIN idea is that 4 people come together to stop an unholy abomination. Surival as well.

-The objective is to "Capture" Generators. Each capture brings you a step closer.

-The "Staffs" are the keys. The place you put them is "The Crazy Place".

-Freeing "Samantha" is the main objective.

Now lets correlate that with the CURRENT STORYLINE. RECAP: Maxis or Richtofen is now in control of the Aether. However, the real story lies with Maxis. He wishes to save his daughter. If he gets his daughter back, everything will end.

Back to Origins:

-The N4 come together to survive and get some answers.

-The N4 AND the O4 (From BLOPS I) complete "Objectives" to continue the storyline.

+Generator 1: The O4 get the Vril Device

+Generator 2: The O4 get the Focusing Stone

+Generator 3: Richtofen gains control

+Generator 4: The N4 activate Tower

+Generator 5: " "

+Generator 6: " "

-The Towers are the "Keys" to opening Agartha. Wait...There are only 3 towers, but 4 keys? Well, this only makes the point clearer. The ROBOTS represent the 3 towers. We put the "Keys" inside them to link them together. But we still have a key... this key goes "UNDERGROUND" (Buried ) and we connect them fully. We then "Break a Seal". With that, we open a small hole. We then send MAXIS into the open seal (Rift).

Now everything is aligned. The Current Timeline and Origins Timeline have been connected. Now we must finish the final act of this 3 part Thrillogy. We must finally reach Agartha and Rescue Samantha and, ultimately, save the world.

Once we reach Agarth, we must power the portal and send the Maxis Drone through. Once this is complete, Maxis and Samantha are reunited. Thus, we are saved.

So, a recap:

-The 4 heroes = The N4

-The 6 Generators = the 6 MAJOR objectives throughout the storyline.

-The "Keys" And "Robots" = The Towers and The Box in Buried

-Maxis Drone = The fact that Maxis' PHYSICAL form is destoryd, but his body lives on.

-Sending Maxis into the Seal = Sending him into "The Rift"

-REunite with Maxis and Samantha = Save the World

However, this leaves some unanswered questions. I will answer them.

Maxis does not acknoledge it is daughter that is speaking to him.

-This is a very tricky one. However, once you think of it, it makes sense. In the Current Storyline (Left off at Buried) Maxis does try to save his daughter. HOWEVER, his "True" intention was revenge against Richtofen, the cause of all this pain. This is why he ignores his daughter, although it is his ultimate goal.

What happens next?

-Nothing. This was our ending. But you must SEE beyond what is right in front of you. It is a PARABLE!

What of the Final cutscene?

-This is a tricky one that I can't really explain EXCEPT for 2 ways of seeing it

1. It is a Parable. The idea is that Samantha and Eddie (If this is really Edward) have taken their turns at being the controller. Obviously, Samantha has been in charge most of the time. This is indicated by the Tally mark on the wood.

2. It is a scene from the future. After Earth has been saved. These toys and this whole thing is in a kids mind.

So...yea. Thats it, I guess. Discuss?
