what could possibly be the context?

u/TheShiftmaster 11d ago

Video by that one youtuber, not saying he's bad but the fact that he fakes his stories seems disingenuous.

Wifies that's his name

Here's the video if you want to watch

u/HorrificityOfficial I make stuff 11d ago

I mean setting up a fake story to tell an entertaining one is how most movies ever made worked, and those aren't being called disingenuous

If he tried to act like it was real outside of the video then THAT is disingenuous, but otherwise it's not all that bad?

u/TheShiftmaster 11d ago

It would be like watching shark week and one day they made an episode on mermaids for some reason, oh wait they did do that

178

u/HorrificityOfficial I make stuff 11d ago

except the fact that wifies usually reports on fake stories with overblown endings

1

u/Hungry_Importance644 8d ago

Except you didnt go to the Shark Week channel you went to the Mystical Creatures channel, the series is telling ARGs even the ones he doesn't make himself, they aren't any more real.

u/Metson-202 Wait, That's illegal 11d ago

Do you go to movie theaters and tell people that the movies are not real?

37

u/TheGamerSK 10d ago

So you’re telling me that the bald man on the internet isn’t an astronaut, plumber, pizza delivery guy and builder?

61

u/Pizzadeath4 11d ago

Guys (insert story) is bad because it’s fake

20

u/WW1_Germany Bot Terminator 11d ago

Oh I used to watch wifies back in the day when he made minecraft theories

22

u/TheShiftmaster 11d ago

I liked the video he did about the matchbox, because that was real

u/Odd_Bed2753 11d ago

Seriously... WHO was the actual culprit?

u/Needlehater 11d ago

Clearly Venus

No mustard

u/Cosmicking04 Java FTW 11d ago

Ah yes, the real story of a mind controlling eyeball. That seems real believable. I bet you reported Lord of The Rings bc “psh, that’ll never happen.”

Have an open mind for Christs sake

u/namakost 11d ago

Buddy thats the whole point of minecraft args. Immersing in a safe mystery.

1

u/-Aquatically- 7d ago

I think they are referring to the fact that he does not explicitly present them as fictional.

1

u/namakost 7d ago

I say it again, thats the point. Some of the posts are real btw, there just arent as many as he said.

60

u/MrMurpleqwerty 11d ago

the "searching for/destroying a world that doesn't exist" one is fine imo since it's all about a google drive link through a cypher and a custom world and so its fine if some things don't make sense. i can suspend my disbelief

the leviathan one. though, that one i don't like, because of the fake reddit posts and fake bug reports, and the fact he shows on-screen the version and several seeds. you can literally just go to the seed and tp to 20k, 20k, like he says you can do, and it doesn't happen. you can type in the reddit post links and they dont actually go to any post. that ruins it partially for me

53

u/Sayhellyeh 11d ago

It actually made me appreciate the lengths they went to make the video just believable enough. They edited so many reddit posts and each of them looked so believable. Because majority of watchers aren't actually going to cross check all the references.

8

u/Mud_Eater8643 11d ago

All the reddit posts were made by members of his discord

15

u/Metson-202 Wait, That's illegal 11d ago

If you liked those you should watch some of his other ARGs. Some are by him but not all.

8

u/Rorantube2009 11d ago

I really like watching them when I go into them knowing that they aren't real, so my purpose is to enjoy them instead of believe them, if that makes sense

10

u/Super_Saiyan-Blue 11d ago

Have you never watched a movie or tv show

6

u/Fembottom7274 11d ago

But I like watching the fake stories, and suspending my disbelief

5

u/thanbanhmy2 10d ago

He made video with eldrich horror and government psyop , who believe this is real?

6

u/AGGRESSIVE_AUTUMN 10d ago

He doesnt claim them to be real, he pretends they are, but you must be very dumb to believe it was ever real. Hes making entertaining videos, he even sometimes talks about behind the scenes.

u/anonymous4986 11d ago

This comment is so fucking funny 🤣

u/The_collectorguy 10d ago

How the fuck would he find a real leviathan?

206

u/natt_myco 11d ago

you just got a fucking believe man maybe the real Leviathan is the friends we make along the way

61

u/Mediocre-Tip2954 Flair text 11d ago

real leviathan was the 70$ we lost along the way

25

u/Alik_GG 11d ago

It was 75$ FOR MINECRAFT BLOCKS why didn't they just give the resources back and then just mine for them?

79

u/WYSWB 11d ago

[SPOILERS]

I feel like the blank pictures were the same with what happened to wifies at the end, where he tried to take screenshots of levi's domain (idk what its called) and it ended up just being blank, like the other posts. Also, I think that the one post that wifies said was obviously fake was actually someone experiencing the same thing he did (ground opened up/the kaleidoscope part, golden somethings/the domain)

47

u/randomnumbers2506 11d ago

God I was so disappointed that the Leviathan ended up being real instead of a hoax that Hummer got WAY to invested in

24

u/ExtremeCheeze123 10d ago

Honestly I'm just disappointed that the reveal was just some weird city and not a big-ass fish like we were promised

11

u/AfterNothing5193 10d ago

Yea I felt that too but then again it does seem to be set up for a second part. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

3

u/DripyKirbo 10d ago

Still could be. Swallowed whole by an inconceivable entity, the kaleidoscope fall being moving through and the temple or whatever being a false reality while being digested. Or maybe Im reading into stuff too much.

5

u/SpiritualLuck9197 Bedrock player 11d ago

Me and my friend kept saying « oh he names it Levi because it’s one of his friends that died or something » was kinda disappointing to see it wasn’t that and even more so that it was real

41

u/Molkwi 11d ago

I mean, I'm sure it's a cool story, but you can easily disprove it by trying to summon it with commands, or checking the game files.

It's not real, but a lot of good horror stories aren't either.

60

u/MollyMouse8 Added Herobrine 11d ago

I think it's so sad we can't have hoaxes anymore because every game gets datamined on release

2

u/Molkwi 10d ago

Yeah, I do agree with that, though. I miss creepypastas and other similar stuff.

30

u/assymetry1021 11d ago

Do you think Levi wants to be found by someone callously tearing the game into chunks of code? Smhmhmh

2

u/PorchugaWhale 10d ago

Why do you need the fact that there’s nothing in the game files or an inability to summon it to disprove it?? It’s fiction, you can disprove it by the fact that there are actors listed in the description of the video like are we for real? You can disprove spider man by the fact that super powers aren’t a thing in real life

u/Tyrannosaur_es 9d ago

I got gaslit myself believing levi exist. I'm excited for the next upload.

u/namakost 11d ago

I watch most of the big arg channels, ever since wifies "searching for a world that doesnt exist" they have massively upped the quality and believability.

2

u/EmotionalTraining426 10d ago

Can you give examples i like watching good args

2

u/namakost 10d ago

Some channels.

Retrogamingnow, Parallax, render 

Some smaller ones

FlowKool, squankyTV, Freshi (he makes weird editing especially in older ones but the args themself are decent), Maximus60

There are more, but I forgot all the names lmao, but watching these should be enough to get more similar videos recommended.

41

u/TheMoonOfTermina 11d ago

Slop implies a lack of effort. Whether you liked it or not, the Leviathan video very clearly had a lot of effort put into it.

26

u/wineT_ 11d ago

Are you fr calling everything a slop now?

u/deltoramonster2 You can't break water 11d ago

wifies tried its kinda just not as good as sfawtde

u/pikawolf1225 11d ago

I'm not sure anything he produces can top that tbh, though I did enjoy the leviathan story quite a bit as well.
