Exposed feet are just a symbol of divinity and godhood. That's why all the gods and demigods have exposed feet.

Based Miyazaki.

@@johnathan1506Sellen has exposed feet, Fia too. It’s more a sign of purity than anything generally in Japanese culture, tho tbh ‘sellen’ isn’t pure at all.

The bigger the hair the bigger the soul, I guess

Miquella's super Saiyan form has the biggest hair if all Saiyans

imagine what godwin would have looked like kek

I mean Marika is known for her hair right? Make sense why he has alot of hair or why everyone in the family does sorta. Though I gotta say his hair is beautiful.

Rise, if you would

for that is our curse

Ahh, Lothric, the previous Miquella. He had such an awesome fight alongside Lorian.

better fight than Consort of Radahn

​@elyk4982 Yeah very good fight with the constant freaking teleporting. Very fun

The teleporting makes the fight fun dude just lock on

@@elyk4982 Super Cripple Bros were just a slog. Dodge roll, stagger, beat on the kid, gg, 0 skill, almost no learning curve if you made it that far yourself. Radahn is a pain in the ass, but he's got mechanics. You're punished for being greedy and not understanding more mechanics than monkey masking a combo of dodge and AoW, lol.

Yep. He was riding him really well.

Ayo? 🤨 ​@@hgyuuuuhj098

​@@hgyuuuuhj098 ;-)

I wonder if thats a ring radahn gave him in their childhood

@@eyesofthebeast could be, interestingly though it is not on his model when he is with radahn so my theory is that it is probably a ring from someone he was close to such as gowdyn, malenia, marika, or st Trina and he may have gotten rid of it on his quest to godhood so that that connection wouldn’t hold him back?

@@andrewdecker3752maybe. But my theory is that he gave it to consort Radahn, idk if we’ve checked his model yet?

@@andrewdecker3752 it looks like a snake eating itself, so im guessing its something related to messmer or the base sepernt

@@andrewdecker3752 I think it's a subtle hint that the corpse in the cocoon is indeed Miquellas original body and the ring was left behind on it. Miquella was going to abandon everything he had in the lands of shadow anyways.

@@BonnieNakagawaleave bro out of this 😭😭🫸🔥🫷

​@@Dominik0-0Yeah, bro's more ethical than Miquella.

He did use to share that body with his female half. I guess we know why St Trina is just a torso attached to a plant, Miquella made sure to keep everything from the waist down for himself.

I've never understood the weird proportions in Elden Ring. Like OK the Omens and Messmer are mutants, but what's everyone else's deal?

Thiccfaced

@@mollymillions6586visual clarity, overall feel of the character and so on. We only notice this stuff when the models aren’t moving, which they never do in the game

@@mollymillions6586 its really just exaggerated for the final effect which happens with a lot of art. if you actually trace along the anatomy of lots of paintings and drawings with many effects or tricky perspective you'll often notice that some of the anatomy makes no sense. thats because skilled illustrators know how to make it look right without being 'correct'. Mohg is a pretty good example because the actual model underneath the robe looks pretty goofy, but you never see it so it doesn't matter that the proportions are stretched or too long or too short in places. What matters is the final effect of the character silhouette once the robe is on.

​@@Deidyeah, i've seen a pics of Mogh without the robe, oh boy its so hilarious 😂😂😂

Pretty sure the model just looks like what he showed us. All feet

It got me acting unwise, but nothing a lil alone me time at the dynasty can't fix

such a femboy that even though he's a god, he still dies immediately when his boyfriend gets killed

@@Mohg-n5u cringe

Nah. Godwyn had a pretty manly, toned body. Something that Miquella could only dream of. Also no super Saiyan 3 hair on Godwyn.

@@valentinvas6454 this was as close as Miquella could get lol

@@valentinvas6454look at Godwyns father, of course he would be a well built guy.

Miquella took more after Marika and Malenia took After Radagon so Miquella is more feminine compared to Godwyn

[Gurgle Laughs in The One Reborn]

Im glad they made his youth that way. Makes him look even more sinister when you realize he used his curse as a false mask of empathy. Hes not an eternal child, hes another god and worse.

@@angela.luntian i don't know if worse is the better word for little Mikey. Sure, brainwashing an entire civilization just to achieve his goal is bonkers, but the others is also quite insane (except Godwyn and Radahn, whose i think just a good bloke all around in the lore). Marika, literally pluck out the concept of death, abandon Messmer in the Shadow Realm, imprisoned her 2 child in the sewer, have a hand in the murder of Godwyn, betrayed her own shadow, etc etc. Radagon, literally abandoning his wife after impregnating her with 3 child. Ranni, killing Godwyn so she can achieve her goal. Rykard, get eaten by a snake and build a community around killing other tarnished. Malenia, nuking an entire region just because her brother having a tantrum of his "promised consort" refused their betrothal because said consort realized Mikey is a manipulative little bastard. every single one is just a bad demigod.

@@angela.luntian yall, nuance exists, he isnt evil, but he also is NOT good, no pure evil character exists in these games and this entire dlc is literally proof of that

​@@M9TUS His ideas are good but throwing away everything including his love definitely didn't help

@@vongolamistowl please, hes already as shiny as Radiance, we dont need to fight her lmao

Right?! Though I still don’t get what happened with his body since it was used for the haligtree and then in Mohg’s palace and THEN spread out all over the shadow realm???

I know right I saw the forearms and expected some butterfly wings

​@@orionofvolgaI too have been wondering about this

Like many humanoids in Elden Ring they share the same design

A real badonkadonk. Very handy for sitting on the elden throne all day

Yet his hips are still wider than his shoulders somehow.

that is the divine back, which he inherits from radagon

hes going to steal your heart

@@cheftroyardee7982 Now you're double gay

@@evanbyrain No! I want to steal miquella's buss- I mean Beauty!

This fucking comment has haunted me for a week. I cant stop giggling

It’s amazing

well there's no laws about demigods

That's only if you believe he choose to be taken away. I personally argue that Mohg kidnapped him of his own volition to make him his Empyrean and the conduit of the Formless Mother, and Miquella bewitched him when being his prisoner.

​@@gabrieldoyen692 nah bro mohg didn't do nuffin, free my man

" My big brother is so cool and strong, I’m gonna become God and make him my Lord!" I actually kind of groaned when I figured that bit out. its cool and works but guess I've read too many romcom manga/manhwa... I've seen the trope too much. "let's get married, main character!" "oh kid, you're so cute, haha okay." *X amount of time later* "I'm back and sexy now." "Wuh-wuh-what we're still getting married?!? >///

The fact that Melania made clear she was sent there to kill Radahn and send him to the shadow realm indicates that this was always his plan, he wasn't just giving up the Haligtree cuz he got bored.

@@guypowerstrength5837 Hey, he is a kidnapper by trade, just ask the war surgeons. Or rather Varre since he is the only survivor amon them. But just like with the surgeons, he kidnapped Miquella for purely practical purposes.

Yeah he probably has magic or something to clean it

He's a God. His hair probably clean itself or something

And his left arm is missing which is what’s in the cocoon

an albeit deformed version.

No. Miquella is missing his left arm and the withered arm is a right arm

IT SHOULDVE BEEN ME, NOT HIM!

Yea a lot of ppl saw that comparison video

@@ericwalker6477 what video?

So it's ok for me to give him backshots? Since he is an adult now...atleast in body heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

Yes, it was the goal. Godhood is the only way he could cure himself, cure his sister Malenia, and either fully revive Godwyn or put him to rest.

@@girlboss5172 Doesn't seem like it, he still speaks in his child like voice. Until that's just how god's sound.

​@@rafsandomierz5313 He sounds like a young teen, hardly like a child.

this was my instant initial thought after I died to the second phase the first time.

That would be a nightmare to maintain lol

Trust me, having achieved this look with extensions, I can honestly tell you that the weight is so heavy you'd end up having a headache from how hard it's pulling on your scalp. 😂 Took them off the following day.

@@samf.s.7731 yeah, the weight aspect is the reality. Mad maintenance.

@@dormammu629 no joke, obviously only a little shorter would be plausible, but I’d love to have hair like him! Even if that meant spending an hour everyday trying to maintain them😂

He only failed because we were there. Not a chance Radagon or the Elden Beast could stand against him and Radamohg

Marika didn't seem to abandon things but rather use people. After all paths to godhood are many.

@@rafsandomierz5313 i think the paths to godhood all involve sacrifice in someway, and given miquella’s entire ideology it makes sense he would sacrifice himself to “help” everybody else. Also i just remembered the story trailer where marika grabs runes/hair from a body and seems to ascend to godhood. In that scene the gate of divinity looks a lot more bloody and fresh, whereas when we see it it’s gray, almost mummified. I wonder if marika had to sacrifice all those people to ascend? It would definitely fit with marika’s character, she always seems to prioritize her ideals over people (think of poor godfrey)

@@shpenkyobo Not sure if divine gateway was made by something or someone. To me it looks like another Crucible.

Godfrey was conspiring with Mariska to get rid of the greater will. Her “banishing” Godfrey and his men to the badlands was all part of their masterplan to crease a band of warriors (tarnished) that would move in once she shatters the ring and destabilise the greater wills remaining control in the lands between. The “grace” guiding tarnished is literally marina guiding us to kill everything that would oppose her.

Someone who knows who Björn Andresen is? Film lover or Thomas Mann fan?

This, bishonen seems to be an outdated term these days, but it fits better to this version of Miquella. Poor Björn Andresen tho, he did not deserve t suffer like that 😢

I would agree if it wasn't for those hips obviously designed to create a new line of Demigod children.

i see a man of culture

Every time Japan pulls a femboy on us I'm reminded of the existence of wakashu

I think the hair is more like a symbol of the exuberance and vitality of the new born god, but you made an interesting connection.

For me its the wonderful incandescent power shown when an empyrean is born from a new age forging its order upon the world which has forsaken its true gods.

​@@alfredoca687 i think it could be seen as both. A rise and fall.

That seems like a huge stretch. What about the hair makes it look "faulty" specifically? It's long, which means it's strong to be able to hold such a length, and clearly there's no traces of greying or mold or rot in there. It grows wildly, but that could just as easily be a symbol of strength or vitality (like a classic barbarian archetype). If the artists were trying to make it look "faulty," it feels like they should've done a lot more. It's not like they're incapable of making bad hair (Morgott).

Or maybe it’s just because Miyazaki thought it looked cool

Was looking for this, surprised there aren't more comments about it.

Same

100% agree with you. Miquellas OST really communicates that you are fight a divine and angelic being. The switch from solo to the chorus, fantastic.
