Watching UniqueGeese reacting to the Game Theory video on Indigo Park was interesting, especially how much the video got wrong about the reasons Rambley would be evil.
Number one: We have zero evidence Rambley resented Molly and Finley, as the video claimed.
In fact, the source of the biggest piece of “evidence” for Rambley’s “motivation” of wanting to be the only park star blatantly contradicts said “motivation.”
When the player shows the information kiosk the Retro Lloyd plush, we get a rant from Rambley:
“Ugh... I don't get why we even have those. And why did they only make one of LLOYD? Is it because he's the loudest? I CAN BE LOUD TOO! WHERE'S MY LIMITED-EDITION THROWBACK PLUSH?!…”
Interestingly, during this rant Rambley has a lot of visual and audio glitches.
If one tracks the appearance of these glitches through Chapter 1, there is a pattern…
They occur when Rambley appears to be overwriting the existing “script.”
Details supporting that exceed this post, but that hypothesis suggests Rambley is really going “off script” here.
“On script” Rambley isn’t supposed to resent Lloyd this much; we’re experiencing (our) Rambley’s personal feelings about the lion and his popularity.
Wouldn’t that support the idea that Rambley wanted to destroy the other mascots and get all the attention?
No.
Because that’s not all Rambley’s angry about.
“…WHERE'S MY LIMITED-EDITION THROWBACK PLUSH?! WHERE'S MOLLIE'S? WHERE'S FINLEY'S? Give this mistake to a child and they'll cry.”
Rambley’s not angry Lloyd’s getting attention and he’s not.
He’s angry that Llyod’s getting attention at the expense of him and his friends.
If Rambley was a glory hound, he should have been egotistical about the special edition Gold Rambley plush.
Instead?
“Wow, is that a gold limited edition Rambley Plush?! Parents were fighting tooth and nail for those things when they came out! Seriously, our employees had to clean up SO many stray teeth and nails. Hard to believe that there was all this demand for a regular Rambley Plush we blasted with gold spray paint."
He’s bemused at the attention the plush garnered; indeed, he appears to have a mild cynicism about the frenzy “corporation” stirred the public up over cheap merch.
It’s interesting Rambley doesn’t glitch during this section, or when he is equally snarky about the Rambley Cup - this suggests Rambley’s core programming matches these comments.
Rambley the Raccoon - the character - doesn’t care about merch or financial things.
Whatever resentment Rambley has against Lloyd (and there is no argument about that!) it seems completely out of character for a program that gushes about his friend Molly’s “talent” at building - and crashing! - airplanes and is eager to have the player make friends with Finley and his “good heart” to want to hurt Molly and Finley to achieve…. being king of a dead kingdom??

Okay, I'm pretty up in the air about this myself and I've seen people go back and forth on it so I'm curious to get a consensus here.
Feel free to elaborate on your answer in the tags or notes, it'd be cool to hear your thoughts 🦝💜
