Detective... Damien? [THIS IS AN ISWM SPOILER POST!!!]
Okay. I know I said I wouldn’t talk about ISWM up until July but I gotta talk about this. It will fester in my soul and I don’t want that. It’s bad for my health.
So when you get the noir route which is done by choosing “Pop ‘er in Reverse!” option. Which is the best and funniest option I’ve experienced so far. I pray that Bob suggested that because it’s comedic gold. Anyways, we go in reverse as in we go back in time. Clever, that actually answered my question as to how we got the 1920/30′s -esque segments in the project. I love that.
Anyways, I noticed something after watching it for the 18th time. I’m not even kidding about that. Actor’s attire is strikingly similar to someone we haven’t seen in quite awhile. Damien. But it’s flipped.
Example images! Damien[Left] & Detectiveplier[Right]
Yes, I know Detectiveplier is in similar attire to Actor since it’s basically him. I know that. But the flower is what’s throwing me off. If it were just a normal suit like he usually wears, it would be a suit pocket square similar to the one Damien wears. Like the cloth that sits in a jacket or coat, pocket square. But since he’s in a big ol’ trench coat and his shirt pocket is exposed, no pocket square. So we get a flower on the opposite side of how Damien wears his. And that’s not the only thing that they have in common. Plus their color schemes are opposite of each other, light and dark. And just based off of that you would think that their colors would represent their characters, it doesn’t. It’s flipped! Like those fun houses with the mirrors, the reflection is an alternate version of reality. On top of that, their speech and character are mirrors of each other.
Though Detectiveplier is more like an Illinois, cool, calm, and confident but is also shy. He has inner monologue going on to say, “Maybe some day I’ll work up the courage to ask them out on that date. Yeah right.” His confidence is fickle, doubtful of himself but doesn’t make it apparent. Unless Wug is present. And depending on choosing the “Send a Distress Signal,” “I’m sure that there’s some way that we could resolve this amicably?” Amicably. Damien said something similar in Who Killed Markiplier. “I know we’re all on edge but can’t we resolve this amicably?” Both said during a hostile encounter.
But of course, both characters are set within the time frame of 1920/30′s so it might not be a direct connection. However it is an interesting hint towards a past project. Honestly, could just be Actor trying to portray Damien to fit the scene but with his own flare. A possibility but not a definite answer. I don’t even know if someone picked up on this earlier and I’m not going to check cause rabbit hole of spoilers.
Either way very cool, strange and concerning. Concern of the mirroring but being an alternate. Wild
