It's time to get INDIE! Today I'm taking on the indie game YOU have been requesting the most -- The Binding of Isaac. WHAT DOES THIS GAME MEAN? With 16 endings and all just as obscure as the last, it seems like this game has some deep things to say...but what are those things, exactly? Does Isaac die in the box? Is mom really a psycho religious killer? We're getting ready to analyze this incredibly deep and moving game.

    Ah the old intro, my memories have returned from 2019 when I first watched the series! I hope to see more MatPat!
  • This is my favorite game theory Matpat has ever made even to this day. Here's me hoping that one of the final 9 game theories will be coming back to discuss The Binding of Isaac now that the game has seemingly finished its story. I wish Matpat and the new generation of theory hosts all the best.
  • “If a kid wants to dress up as a biblical prostitute, I say let him.” -Mattpatt Context is everything.
  • @civetmink9060
    Aggressively arguing over the merits of organised religion.
  • So basically Isaac’s endings are the equivalent to the phrase “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”
  • @3misoraX
    Honestly this theory makes sense with repentance true ending if you think about it, after escaping the chest and his house he looks for his father, finds it and tells him the story he made and everything that happened, his father helped him to finish it and the stuff happening in true ending happens
  • @GameTheory
    Under 301 club! Suck on tha...Oh wait...no I'm not. :(

    Matpat: "... So grab your bibles and knifes..." Me: looks over at my desk " Knew these were going to be useful today
  • @ImSorryYaroslav
    Matpat: Makes theory about rebirth TBOI: Afterbirth, AB+ and Repentance come out Matpat: wait what game is this again
  • @Garrett3371
    Me: sees this was made 9 years ago "Oh so it was made in 2011" Then I realized
  • @quinnmaster504
    Matpat: warns about arguments in comments The comments: mostly joking about ignoring the warning
  • @kiira_kiira
    When you scroll down but nobody is aggressively arguing over the merits of organised religion:
  • @X_XD
    Ok yes,as a christian myself I can say this game is totally accurate to the bible,and no I don’t feel like it’s making fun of religion,I think it’s showing an abusive parent that takes the story of Abraham too seriously and starts to go insane. Oh and also 4:37,he could’ve just made some new ones
  • @SpaceFace.
    in the hush fight there are small clips of faint breathing sounds that are meant to be him suffocating in the chest
  • @oegaboy
    This editing just has Ronnie written all over it. We still miss you buddy.
  • You got to appreciate how far he will go and how much research he will dig into to make these theories it's really impressive
  • 4:30 - I actually have a personal anecdote for this reason. I used to have things like pictures and toys be taken away from me because of (insert punishment/religious/evil reason here) only for them to forget the whole thing and let me replace my disposed belongings with "new" things. It wouldn't surprise me if Issac's mom let him draw new artwork or gave him new toys to use as a leverage to punish him.
