The Ending of In Vaulted Halls Entombed Explained | Love, Death & Robots Volume 3 Explained

“I can save him!” “Harper his intestines just fell out.”

I remember someone else was saying it wasn't Cthulhu and was a relative of his eho had sympathy for humanity. The vision was basically just the entity trying to warn them of the old old ones. This makes the episode way darker as humanity gets doomed due to a what boils down to a misunderstanding.

I love the theory that the spider creatures were there to keep people away from the Elder God. It would explain how Harper escaped (assuming she wasn’t being controlled by the Elder god) as the creatures aren’t there to stop you from leaving. Makes sense in my opinion because if the Elder god needs help to be freed it would add up that the creatures are trying to stop you reaching the Elder god.

I think the story fits Lovecrafts Canon quite well - further stories (e.g. At the Mountains of Madness) indicate, that Cthulhu themself might be the largest, most powerful and thus the leader of the Xothians (or "starspawn" as they're named by Lovecraft), but by far not the only one imprisoned on earth. After several wars with different alien races and god-like entities, more of Cthulhus kin were entombed/imprisoned deep within the earth, under the sea, or in the remote deserts and mountains to contain them and prevent them from returning to power - so the alien in "Vaulted Halls" might not be Cthulhu himself, but another powerful Starspawn which could wreak similar havok on the world, if set free.

A seriously horrific happy ending.

Hey, it’s Rosita from the walking dead. I’ve started love, death and robots. I’ve fell in love with all the disturbing, terrifying, and amazing storylines.

But if Cthulhu could control their minds telepathically, cutting out her eyes or ears would be pointless.

Bruh...I'm late af to the Love, Death and Robots party, but glad af to be here. IVHE is my favorite ep and one of the best things committed to screen.

Don't know if anyone else has already suggested this, but I read that it was supposed to be Kthanid as the multiple yellow eyes are a key feature of his. Kthanid is the opposite of Cthulhu, as in he's a good guy. However, these soldiers were not experiencing the feeling of benevolence he is supposed to radiate. Ultimately....I don't know for sure. The creator/writer says it Cthulhu so I guess it is, but it doesn't look like the Cthulhu I'm used to.

more than i love watching somebody's dive into media and showing me things i wouldve never known otherwise and helping me understand the entire plot (ie, your Very Pulse of the Machine vid), i LOVE when someone does a dive like this and confirms that i wasn't missing anything. sometimes i'll watch something and just sit there wondering what other people are gathering from this and if i'm supposed to be getting more from it. and usually the answer is yes. case in point: that FUCKING poem about eating plums for breakfast and it being a metaphor for sleeping with somebodys sister??? fuck you. but then!!! a piece of media comes out! and its all there! no i didnt know the names of people and no i dont remember most of the dialogue. but what i DO know is i wasn't left with ultimately some further question, mission, or moral to ponder. the LDaR episode about the two people killing each other over and over while also being sexually involved was supposed to be reminiscent of toxic relationships. the very pulse of the machine was about... something involving immortality beyond the physical body. but this. this was it. people encounter big monster. big monster make people go crazy. end credits. nothing further. and i just love that

That was fantastic! i've watched it at least 5 times

my sister had a theory that this wasn't actually cthulhu since he's supposedly in the ocean, but is actually one of his "siblings" and the vision it showed Harper was a warning that cthulhu would release the other monstrous beings that would destroy the world, I always thought that was a cool idea.

You just do what you do best, be here and create your content, be content with your content, contain your YT content, and we will all be contenders on watching your content, with contentment! <3

i assumed at the end she was saying its name. if it was Cthulhu, the name is not supposed to be pronounceable so it made sense to me that it might be the creators take on the actual pronunciation

Harper lost her eyes, but gained a dragon… Oh wait, wrong animal.

Great video but most nods use an IR blaster so you don't need ambient light coming in. So their nods would have worked regardless

Okay, but riddle me this season 2 and 3 are in original order. Why'd they flip season 1 though, I could have sworn it was Sonnie's edge and 3 robots first

She definitely is saying never let it out at the end of you listen carefully

Greate video! Can you create a separate Explained video on episode "Tall grass" please?

Why have your channel descreased so much in views after Squid Games reviews? That's crazy
