The Dark Side of Pikmin ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Beyond its whimsical exterior, the Pikmin series packs a lot of thematic punches. Once you start digging, there's seemingly no end to the many dark implications one might draw. And I'm not talking of the post-apocalypse variety here! Hugs and kisses, love you. Enjoy, babe! 00:00 Opening 03:21 Resources & Exploitation 11:45 Capitalism: Unleashed 27:35 Emerging Humanity 45:09 The Proto-Apocalypse 1:06:09 Epilogue PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/transparens TUMBLR: https://transparencyboo.tumblr.com/ MASTODON: https://mastodon.social/@transparencyboo TWITTER: https://twitter.com/transparencyboo #pikmin #pikmin1 #pikmin2 #pikmin3 #pikmin4 #nintendo #olimar #nintendoswitch #explained #videoessay BONUS MEME: Pikmin, Pikmin, Pikmin, eat up, my children. While we may have mentioned most Pikmin games in this video, we didn't bring up Pikmin Finder because we didn't find it relevant, but most crucially we never mentioned Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard, a game that is practically Pikmin in all but name. We certainly could've discussed it in relationship to vampire's and cruise ships, but the video was starting to get a bit long so we neglected it. Our friend Nichtschwert also brought up Overlord, where you have goblins instead of Pikmin. It seems the Piklike genre is overflowing! We're Pikmin'd out now, though. I don't wanna talk about Pikmin anymore, sorry. Have fun, friends. If you see this, write a comment that includes the word "breadbug". Bye!
