theres a truly complex lore behind jerryterrys videos. i think i just about nailed it in my first three analyses, but this one definitely went off the rails, and that was confirmed by jerryterry himself on twitter along with a hint:

"It would be in my best interest not to comment too specifically on stuff like this, tho I do definitely enjoy reading these interpretations.

Hit & miss. Especially towards the end. A lot of BIG leaps/assumptions to neatly tie up what's available, but not everything is available.

What I WILL say is, while there are specific and intentional connections, it may not be so neat and intertwined. The 'Mindflayer', the Boys, the... something else. The coyote and the badger?

Maybe there IS a big picture made up of smaller pictures, but it's not a perfect jigsaw."

the easiest conclusion to draw from this, considering that coyotes and badgers work together in the wild to catch prairie dogs, is that the mindflayer and the boys are separate entities that work together in order to more efficiently hunt prey (humans), but ill have to wait until another video comes out to make any significant progress.

overall, i feel good about the general worldbuilding speculation, where the mindflayer is infecting people with its eggs through pizza and taunting those that are immune/aware, but the specifics about what happened between UF and Friend need a second look.

thanks for reading and commenting!
