  2. I like the theory of PyramidHead manifesting in order to punish the entity for its gluttony and greed. Denying it sustenance by using his own methods of hooking and execution. As well as carving through the realms the entity makes like nothing. But the entity can't get rid of him sense PH manifested himself when Cheryl was taken into the fog.

  8. I figured Pig had to have some entity interference. They said in the movie she was relatively small and thin so I wondered how she could pick up and carry an adult man with no issue

  10. I think the legion acts from the adrenaline, rage and lust for blood in the game. For instance you get so caught up in thinking on hurting them and seeing them in pain that’s why the bar fills up when you hit someone, it’s satisfied them for a little. when they are done they get toned down to finally just finish them off which is why they are stunned and trying to focus on just killing them in general, but also could explain why they fatigue after hitting someone you already stabbed before, it’d not satisfying when they are already hurt. But that’s my take on it

  11. I feel Legion "feeling freedom" is that they are eternally in a game where they can constantly kill over and over without any law coming after them, The entities "rules" mean little to them as they just get to run wild and have their fun

  20. The Legion’s power is not special in any way, it is just rage. They are faster and more agile because of adrenaline, and they are stunned when exiting frenzy because that’s what happens when you go into a rage – your heart slows down quickly which causes less blood flow to the brain for a short time, which makes you nauseous and black out slightly.

    Also, they can’t see scratch marks while in frenzy because the adrenaline makes them less perceptive.

  21. I always looked at the Oni as a man who is becoming an oni, not a fully made Oni since he never really died, and so needs to absorb blood, the life and power of an enemy, in order to enter an empowered state

  24. They definitely all got a genral strength buff since one of the main things that happens in the saw movies is how they mention that Amanda cant set up traps on her own because she isn't strong enough to lift or carry a person. Meanwhile in dbd she just throws them over her shoulder and keeps walking like normal.

  25. This kinda gets me thinking about if the killers could actually take down the entity. With a lot of the killers the entity is the one who gave them their powers so it can probably take them away just as easily. In the cases of the killers who it didn't give the powers though, such as demo, pinhead, etc. The entity still seems to limit their abilities. Due to the fact its powerful enough to do this, I don't think the killers could be able to win even with the help of other deities or deity like beings such as the mindflayer and leviathan considering the entity is capable of at least suppressing powers they gave to their servants, meaning it could possibly be able to limit their own abilities as well, given we don't exactly know what the entity is or is fully capable of. So besides a simple act of defiance, I don't think the killers could do much else.

  36. Tbh I disagree with the Legion one. They're not drawing from true freedom, thier drawing from freedom from rules, they feel free to finally do what they want: make thier home exciting, as said in the tome lore for Julie

  38. 2:30–2:34 Is Bill hacking? He didn't have a med-kit so that would eliminate the syringe, he didn't have the broken status so it wasn't second wind, and I think those are the only insta-heals (aka instant heals)

    Edit: he had a med-kit. 1:27

    it takes 16 seconds to activate after using the syringe.

  39. I always thought of Legion having asthma, or some other medical thing that flared when they start exerting themself more. I’ve noticed in the killer menu, or when they are just walking, they take longer, calm breaths. After they start frenzying, you can hear them breathing fast and heavily, and it might explain why they are in pain after running faster/jumping through stuff fast for a while. It might also explain why hitting a survivor refills the frenzy bar, because they get a burst of energy/entity holds off their condition as a reward for giving a survivor deep wounds. It sounds weird, but what got me thinking about it is how hard they are breathing when they start running.

  41. The GhostFace’s lore and power origins are so underrated. The Entity was able to amplify Danny’s exceptional sense of intuition and reap from this a superhuman stealth and perception which allows him to get the drop on survivors in a way that almost no other killer can achieve. And this is further manifested by the floating ribbons on his outfit, which makes it clear that there’s more to this man than just a sharp mind, which he does indeed have.
    GhostFace is by far one of the best licensed adaptations in the game. Honestly makes me glad that they bought the license for the mask and not the movie, cause that gave Behavior the ability to really brainstorm with this character and create something truly fantastic, a perfect blend of inspiration and originality. Say what you want about Behavior but they make some great characters.

  42. The Entity definitely defines most things within its realm. It makes people like members of the Legion or Trickster strong enough to render a wooden pallet to dust with a couple of swift kicks, the ability to casually sling a big dude like David onto their shoulder with little effort. It also clearly goes in the other direction by making the survivors weaker. David would kick the shit out of any Legion member in reality, for example.

    I feel like those people trying to subvert the Entity aren't doing it by actively fighting The Entity, but instead, it's just unaware of them or doesn't consider them a threat.
