Boss Creatures Tribute: Korn - Make Me Bad

This video (with footage that is NOT me playing, and I credit the clip sources) is a tribute to modern video game boss creatures and their desires to fight with the games' protagonists, as well as whether or not it 'makes them bad'. Boss battles are often fun and exciting, a staple of videogames today, despite the simplicity of some and the frustration others can bring.

I know that Make Me Bad is about singer John Davis' sexual desires/dilemmas (go to http://www.answers.com/topic/make-me-bad to see what I mean), but I was actually inspired to do this after I saw AJ Johnson's awesome Jason Voorhees/Korn 'Make Me Bad' Hybrid video, a tribute to that killer from the Friday the 13th movies. That video combined the song's aggression with Jason's aggression with great syncing and was really cool.

In July 2006, I decided to combine footage of El Gigante from Resident Evil 4 annihilating Ganado Villagers from its cutscene with a chorus line ala the Jason video to see what it'd look like, with the 'aggression factor' going and then did another verse with the Salazar Hybrid boss introduction. I was satisfied, but didn't know where to go from there, until my mind flashed with ideas relating to boss creatures and the rest was history. I didn't particularly feel concerned about what the song's true meaning was, at least compared with my experimenting with how I could synchronize clips to music.

I'll mention that I didn't have any means of getting my own footage when I got this video done. Someone who didn't mind acting like a nuisance troll made a hate comment about this video because of that and the music, but it really doesn't guarantee that a video will be bad. It still took effort to compile and synchronize.

I know that some people can't stand Korn (as the video tends to a very wide audience), and I'm not a huge fan of them myself; I just think that some of their songs sound cool. I find the lyrics to apply to some annoyances one may generally find in his or her own life. 'Make Me Bad' actually can involve any aspect of life in which a person does something bad while thinking its good, regretting it, and wondering if it makes him/her evil, while being trapped in an inescapable world and going crazy. For the boss creatures, they are usually pawns of a larger enemy, a true evil, indirectly or directly. They're monsters, but not villains, the two of which are often more different than people realize.

The video's got a few minor subliminal messages but for a jumble of a video with a degree of corniness it's been mostly (ahem) well received so far. Oh, and this only involves 3-D games; sorry if you're looking for a tribute to old school bosses but that wasn't my focus here.
Footage is from the following (beware that some only appear in very small amounts):

-Luigi's Mansion
-Super Mario 64
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Super Smash Bros. Melee
-Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
-Metroid Prime
-Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
-Resident Evil 4 AKA Biohazard 4
-Wario World
-Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
-Spongebob Squarepants The Battle for Bikini Bottom
-God of War
-Silent Hill (movie)
-Jaws Unleashed
-The Matrix: Path of Neo

Apologies for the games/bosses NOT featured here, but there are some games I just haven't played or even seen footage of yet, but hope to in the nearer than farther future. Maybe, in time, a second bosses tribute could be done, but it's not a certainty, though I've taken all requests for other games in the comments into account.

The music is from:
Korn - Make Me Bad
Killswitch Engage - When Darkness Falls

Now, it took me MONTHS to find all of this and get it right with Windows Movie Maker, and I credit each and every source, again (if you don't believe me, watch the credits). As for the credits song, I find that particular song pretty cool too but with a more obvious connection to the footage than Make Me Bad has.

Sorry for that novel of a description, but I just want to make things clear.

great vid and what was with the shark game whats it called

[TheShape423]

The shark game is "Jaws Unleashed" for PS2, XBox, and PC.

[xXxBethanyxXx]

What boss is that between 0:13-0:16?

its like a stingray shaped shadow thing... But I swear I've seen it before.

[TheShape423]

That boss is from Super Mario Sunshine, in one of the later levels. It's basically just called "Manta" but I hear its official name is "Phanta Manta" because it's some sort of ghost.

whats the boss at 00:16

[TheShape423]

That boss is called 'Flaahgra', the first major boss of the first Metroid Prime game; 0:16 shows what it looks like right before it attacks.

[arwing20]

These mario villains really didnt suit the music. Next time try and find some better bad guys.

[3600samus]

you mostly put metroid at the end and METROID IS THE BEST wait wait what about sonic

[merril78]

if anybody is wondering why there is that weird sound before and after the first two chorus's, it is because that sound is from the music video, and he is using the audio from the video.

[wariokid244]
