In the third game it's because of god causing monsters to appear and feed off of Heather's fears. In the second game it seems like the town is feeding off of multiple people to manifest monsters as opposed to a singular person. And SH2 directly references events which come back in SH4, and SH4 is canon to SH1 and SH3 given the prominence of the cult. SH4 also includes James Sunderland's father Frank Sunderland, implying that SH2 is in fact in that same universe.

    Leave for SH2 will always be canon for me because it's the most narratively and thematically relevant to James' arc, as well as the most emotionally fleshed out. Leave also doesn't necessitate him actually returning home, simply leaving the town, or leaving the psychological torment, or both, depending on how you see it.

    Ok so for silent hill 2 I believe leave is canon. Or at least was intended to be. (Canon for me regardless). As you said he makes that declaration to himself before he fights the 2 pyramid heads. He also tells Angela that he wouldn't kill himself. Also if you watch all 4 endings, "leave" has the highest quality scenes, conversations and voice acting. The dialog is longer and deeper and it doesn't feel rushed. textures and camera angles are better. It also ties up the question of what happened to Laura.

    Great video. I would love to see more Silent Hill-content from you. I usually think of the good+ endings as canon, as they usually are the most satisfying. But with SH2 I think you can make an argument for both "Leave" and "In water", as both are satisfying in a narrative sense, but one is uplifting and the other is depressing. It all comes down to wether James both realises his crime, and overcomes his guilt. In "Maria" he overcomes his guilt without truly realising his crime, with the implication that he will repeat the same mistakes. With the 2 others he realises his crime, but with "Leave" he overcomes his guilt, with his rejection of Pyramid Head getting the context that James is done punishing himself, and thus also done being punished by Pyramid Head. With "In water" the scene is the same, but the context is different. PH is no longer needed here as well, but it's because James will no longer run from his guilt and bring the ultimate punishment on himself. I think both work, but I prefer "Leave". Also, I don't view any of the post-4 games as canon, though I do have a soft spot for parts of SM and Downpour. The gameplay of Origins is good, but the story is bad fanfiction, and the only thing I like about Homecoming is the music and boss-designs. Everything else is pretty terrible.

    I don't feel like "In Water" is James killing himself out of guilt so much as him seeing it as his only way to "see Mary again", which was his objective from the beginning. I also can't imagine Laura being willing to live with James as the last time we see her before the ending is her finding out that he murdered her best friend (Mary) and her screaming "I hate you! I hate you!" and calling him a killer. Then all of a sudden her reunites with her again and they become a father-daughter duo? No way. Also "proof" that hints at the In Water ending is the dialogue Henry says around the Superintendant's son being missing is given to you when examining a picture of Toluca Lake, which is where James drowns himself in In Water. Also, there is that "missing person" line Douglas says to Heather in SH3. While it's not confirmed he's talking about James, I personally can't imagine the line meaning anything but a link to the previous protagonist.

That isn't until the town decided to punish James and make him come to his own guilt. If the leave ending happens, then that means James forgets his griefing and accepts his guilt. However, Laura is just a child. She probably doesn't really understand why James really did it as James keeps quiet leaving the topic more mysterious. Now could she end up forgiving James, maybe. It really just depends on how the narrative approach that comes with the leave ending. Idk how James can simply not suffer through some wild PTSD raising a child. So I can understand that, but yeah.

    During the game james has 3 initial "choices" acceptance and repent (ask for forgiveness and move on, wich is leave with laura wich is what mary wants) acceptance with guilt and remorse (accept his crime but can't overcome the guilt, which is the suicide in water in order to be with her by dying in the same way) Total denial (acknowledges his crime but justifies it, and negates it. Which is been punished over again with Maria) Laura is not laura but an entity as maria is, so that means they change according to what the person affected is accepting Laura is the way mary forgives james for her crime. As well as maria is the eternal punishment. maria trough the whole game is trying to make james suffer because she hates him, but when james chooses her she "changes" and "accept" him in order to make him suffer again with the same sickness mary had in the case of Laura, it's the very same but the other way around, laura is a test of commitment once james is "released" from guilt laura accepts him as she is the desire of mary for them to have a life. the other endings are extras as those requieres a 2nd playthrough.

She appears in key points to makes james take some action or push him into some action So basically she pretty much teleports all over the town in places that makes no sense for her to be unless james is there. the reason you can see her with eddie is because of james, SH has different realities according to the person and cannot interact with each other, except for james for some reason, he can see angela's and eddie's reality (in fact the scene on the hotel with angela has something not many noticed, the room where angela is is iluminate even when there is no light points (those are the flames, but james at that point cannot see those in plain) And the ending itself, she is a child, she won't forgive james so easily and would not have a so sudden change with someone she hates not to mention that she never found mary and never had a real reason to trust james etc... Like i said, Laura is ONLY at key points just for james if she was real that would be a major plot hole in the story

    I'm unsure how you can callously write off the UFO and dog endings. Its clear they were intended to be canon since none of them contradict each other and explain why exactly this series happens. It had nothing to do with human psychology, a haunted town, an unborn god or any of that crap but all merely the grand plan of dog that seeks to endlessly troll humanity for his amusement. Or the intervention of hostile invaders from outer space. Because reasons. The games gave you the canon clear as day and yet here you are over analyzing things.

Secondly, they seem the most in line with the story Shattered Memories is trying to tell and, honestly, are the most touching to me.)

    It's funny that you interpret James' declaration--that he no longer needs Pyramid Head to punish him and that 'It's time to end this'--as him not being suicidal. I think the game constantly hints at Angela, James, and Eddie's death, from the three graves you have to jump into, to the legends of dead in the lake; to the note scribbled ad Neally's Bar that tells James to kill himself. Between that stuff, conversations with Angela, and the developers' confirmation--I'd say the 'in water' ending is the most clear.

    I don't agree that just because he stood up to the Pyramid Heads and declared he doesn't need someone else to punish him for his sins, that he also wouldn't end his life afterwards. Perhaps his wanted resolution was that he needed to forgive himself instead of fighting his guilt and finally "rest" after all these years, dying on his own terms instead of by the hands of the monsters punishing him. I think In Water fits Silent Hill 2 pretty perfectly and I have no real preference when it comes to In Water or Leave. It's not like the game isn't okay with such endings considering Angela's fate.

    Silent hill 4 considers James Sunderland still missing and it obviously takes place well after 2 so it can't be the leave or Maria ending. The Walter sullivan references felt like a prelude more than anything. The ritual ending items James uses are the same ones Walter uses for his ritual so felt like great foreshadowing to 4 and the lore.

    I've always thought the Rebirth ending was the most fitting for Silent Hill 2. Wherein (explaining the multiple playthroughs) James became trapped in the town until he loses his mind and tries to resurrect his dead wife. Again, never leaving the town.

    The Rebirth Ending is more like a reference to the original game than as a serious ending given how James's words at the end suggest he's going to revive one of the "old gods of Silent Hill"(like the Incubus in SH1) in exchange for Mary's ressurection. Given that by Silent Hill 3 there're still people trying to revive "God" into life one has to assume either James failed at his own ritual or that the ending is simply non canon.

    @@javiervasquez8995 That's not actually what he (or the ending) says. _"The Old Gods haven't left this place... And they still grant power to those who venerate them. Power to defy even death.."_ He is purposely seeking to resurrect Mary. As, in his words, he can't go on without her. Much as I initially said, whether he succeeds or not is immaterial. James Sunderland is never seen or heard from again. So it makes sense for him to have gone insane over the course of the game and never be able to leave Silent Hill.

    @@pious83 Well regardless of what this ending may actually imply regarding James's fate after SH2 given that it's not accesible on a normal playthrough that automatically makes it just as non canon as the UFO and Dog endings. Since the way in which the ending can be obtained involves collecting a bunch of religious items and artifacts necessary in order to carry out the Rebirth ritual it's clear that the developers were hinting at a connection with both Dhalia's cult and the religious customs that pervade the town of Silent Hill as stated in the first game.

Hints or allusions to the cult are also somewhat irrelevant. This game doesn't involve them at all. It is pretty obvious there is something fantastical about this town, just by James exploring it within the first hour. The texts and artifacts he collects also note the rituals and mythology of the town too. It is why this game is itself a standalone entry in the series. As it has no ties to the larger mythos.

The Laura we see is just James' projection of her. If the Laura we see is real and innocent, explain to me her evil deeds - bullying Eddie, kicking the key away, locking up James, all this before discovering that James killed Mary. To me, these evil behaviors reflect her twisted projection of James, who sees her simultaneously as innocent and as malignant, because she is (through her relationship with Mary) a reminder of his sins. Laura is real and James did meet her outside of Silent Hill, but the Laura we see in the town is not real. Again, if the Laura we see is real, then how is she in Silent Hill?

You can even find a note in Silent Hill 2 that mentions a guy seeing a monster, but his friend doesn't see it. Hell, it's even a big part of the story: *James is the only one to encounter Pyramid Head and when he asks Eddie about it, Eddie doesn't know what James is talking about. *Mary's letter to James is only the town's way of calling him, there are no actual words on the letter as shown towards the end of the game. *James is surprised that Laura hasn't gotten a scratch to which Laura answers "why should I?" Unlike James, Eddie and Angela, she obviously isn't a killer and she doesn't require punishment like the rest of them and therefore she doesn't see any monsters. Calling Eddie fat and James a "fartface" doesn't really make her a prime candidate for the towns punishment. And if now Laura is a projection from the mind of James, how come she and Eddie can see and talk to one another?

It's plausible that the spiritual power affected a lot of the population so many probably decided to move out. Silent Hill also seems to have a bad reputation after the first game and that reputation was almost certainly built up by the stories from those who moved out. b) They've possibly been engulfed by the spiritual power of the town (which is perhaps more relevant for SH1). c) The only possible town residents left during SH2 are cult members, which is an organisation in dissarray after SH1, so they're most likely laying low at that time. And no Laura isn't a projection, she is real. The letter she got from Mary is real, the one James got wasn't. That alone should tell you that Laura is in fact real.

Silent hill is a place where people go for their sins, pyramid head helps james when he kills Maria. James in that case want the sexually version of his wife, he was going to distract from the objective, wich is the redemption. The cherry on the cake is Laura: in water she just desappear and that makes no sense. James goes to silent hill for growing up and leave an horrible past behind, the suicide ending just say “you know what? Alla the story is a joke,the town, the characters, james just kill himself”
