I HAD SOME REALIZATIONS ABOUT THE SQUARE HAMMER MUSIC VID!!! Buckle in bc this is gonna be a thread. First off, to address previous things. The treasure seeker guy who Papa III invites into the tomb has to be Copia. He has similar characteristics including the eyeblack. 1/?

It's incredibly hard to make out because of the fx but it appears that he has the white right eye. We never really see his right eye very well in the rest of the vid because it's obscured by darkness. Might be grasping at straws on this one tho but we'll take it! 2/?

This one's almost so obvious that idk why it never slapped me in the face before this. Literally shows Papa III as referring to him as a brother, which might confirm the well known Copia as Nihil's bastard son theory. It's sort of like Copia is coming to discover his roots 3/?

And then of course, that's followed by papa III pointing out their father's (Nihil) tomb. Just as a note on Papa III, since he's sort of floating around and literally dwelling in the tomb, it's possible that this hints at him being dead/dying. Or it could just be for the lols 4/?

I feel like where I'm going with this is p obvious now. Becoming next Papa/wielding the Hammer is just Copia's destiny at this point yadda yadda. Also of note here, the torch is literally in front of his right eye but it's still in shadow, possibly to hide that it's white. 5/?

Around the moment the coffin opens up, Papa III becomes visibly disturbed and scared, almost as if things weren't going the way he expected and that he knows he's going to die/lose his place as Papa to someone else 6/?

Could also mean that he realizes this is predicting his father's death. He glances around to the ghouls to see if they understand it but since they're not a Papa, it doesn't hold the same personal meaning or omen to them 7/?

Not much from the text here tbh. Either way it really doesn't appear like film Papa III is happy about this development. Him reaching out of the screen could be him trying to connect to the realm of the living again now this his time as Papa is over. Being dead kinda sucks 8/?

The expression here says a lot. Because instead of being wholly fearful, it's more like understanding and maybe respect in this moment. Like there's just a lot in those eyes. Maybe he sees what his film self is trying to do 9/?

Here we have Papa III checking his hair for the lols. There's not much else to glean from the whole turning into bats and people running out of the theatre section. He's just one vain ass hoe really. 10/?

Now we do have film Papa III taking on a new form that appears to be a ghastly spirit now that his soul is travelling to the past/world of the living where he can never truly wholly be. And we can never forget this epic moment of him in front of the moon 11/??

Anyway we have the ever known and obvious red cardinal sitting on the tombstone. Pure speculation on my part (not unlike the rest of this lol) that the tombstone belongs to Papa III 12/??

Small break to show Papa III being his dramatic as fuck self and then shuffling out of his seat despite there being nothing in front of him. Then frantically searching around before pointing at the massive fucking ghost of himself in the sky who's like waddup "it's me, you" 13/??

His final expression here is really confident, and perhaps the fact that both versions of himself are having the glowing eye at this moment symbolizes that they're connecting. He's probably smug because he has a way to live after his death now that there are two of him 14/??

Naturally, all this is some pretty big speculation and reaching, but I think it adds more weight to the Copia is part of the bloodline and Papa III will return theories. We might see Papa III return in an undead form, with Copia's help or not, which is an exciting thought. 15/??

Going back a bit to the Father part and Copia's destiny. But it makes a lot of sense now, since Nihil's death is what led to Copia's ascension to Papa IV. There was a shift and exchange of power there that made it all possible for him to finally wield his destiny the title 16/??

Some of this stuff was already sorta mentioned in this thread here but it got me hooked on the idea so I had to do my own analysis that specifically points out the imagery to these ideas. 17/?? https://tinyurl.com/ya3lu63n 

You can find some of my earlier thoughts about this stuff in the thread since some of the points might be interesting, albeit less related to this specific video 18/?? https://twitter.com/untitledghoul/status/1264002932531331074?s=20

Anyway I'll be leaving this thread for now but it'll remain as numbered "??" since I might come back with more stuff later. So basically, go watch Square Hammer 19/??
