@mcnasty
also how did they get Kathy Bates to play the grandma? literally an A-list actress.
@marmalade2726
i’ve solved it. she’s just a baker. the knives are for cutting pies, the red stuff on her apron was berries, she was burning her secret recipe, and she was planting seeds in the garden to grow her own berries. she doesn’t want anyone to know she makes pies. you’re welcome gamers😩
@abbyphay
I love how Danny didn’t notice she baked a file into the pie, implying that she was preparing for prison, and her granddaughter brought the pie to her.
@llamadamus
she obviously gets a new knife every kill, she keeps the old ones as tokens . common serial killer psychology
@Trynamo
Fun fact: The reason she has so many knives is because they ARE 1 use. In game every tool is a one use item. Use a rake once and it disintegrates.
@nottherealendie
The Merge Mansion team just realized that they're better at making films than they are at games. I expect Lilly's Garden full length live action film by next month.
@universesixteen
Danny I hate you for missing the fact she PUT A FILE IN THE BOWL WHILE SHE WAS BAKING so when she was brought the pie she could use it to break out of jail. It's genius
@JamesThatsSo
I'm no film expert but their use of color in those ads is actually incredible at capturing the feeling of the animated ones
@tylerblack3962
The fact that someone actually had to make the grandma decoy for the ads is impressive, and terrifying
@emoscotchtape
I feel like if they turned into a movie studio they'd do 10x better
@allyrose8405
Everybody asks what’s grandma hiding? But no one ever asks why’s grandma hiding?
@meloncat1257
They put literally everything into these ads, but the game is literally just merging random things to get to the next area. It's just so weird. Also why is the grandma hinted to be some type of murderer? Honestly I'm invested in this storyline.
@boxedpain
Honestly I'm just happy for Kathy Bates, she looks like she's having so much fun in these ads
@maddycutts5000
danny’s recreation to how raunchy the secret passageways could get genuinely killed me
@syd_j0
What really surprised me was the fact that I saw one of the live-action ads on the actual TV, like not a social media site. They had the budget to get this as a real television commercial. Then I saw another animated one on social media after the live-action ones came out, and the animation quality dropped extensively. Probably because they blew their budget on the live-action.
@ZackC
The director of the live action ads, Jim Jenkins, is an extremely well-respected director. He’s won a ton of awards and is responsible for more than a few of the best Super Bowl ads. Legitimately impressed that the Merge Mansion devs/producers decided to go with legitimately top-level production companies for their advertising given that they’d probably be just as successful with cheaper ones.
@Ani
ok but why did she have to lick her finger before sticking it in the statue's ear
@Trinity_505
Lights, color, art department and casting are on point. The girl’s silhouette looks like the typical character from these games
@amadeosonier5995
kathy bates won an oscar for misery in which she portrayed one of the most terrifying film villains to date and now she's the grandma in merge mansion
