Golden Eggs

[edit]

I do know that there are Easter eggs (Golden Eggs) in the game. Should I add it in? Rng0286 (talk) 05:25, 25 August 2019 (UTC) P.S. This is NOT a joke. (I promise.)[reply]

No, a list of the golden eggs or other hidden things are not encyclopedic content. --Frmorrison (talk) 18:36, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I get it. Rng0286 (talk) 04:09, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory claim?

[edit]

Hi. I know I could just be bold and change it up, but I guess I had to share this to y'all first. The article claims that Rovio was inspired by the swine flu epidemic to make the antagonists pigs, with a source showing a quote by a then-Rovio employee:

"As the concept evolved and the Birds needed some opponents, the pigs were born. This was around the time the swine flu pandemic scare had reached its highest level, so the sickly green pigs were born out of that!"

However, from Jaakko Iisalo (the designer of these characters) himself, there doesn't seem to be an actual correlation between both. In The Guardian, Iisalo claims that the characters were inspired by childhood drawings and doesn't reference the epidemic (there's also information about why they're green):

We realised the game needed enemies, but the schedule was tight, so obviously I just drew an animal – a pig thing I’ve been drawing since I was 10, according to my mum. [...] Since the main character is red, I chose green – the complementary colour – for the pigs, who have stolen the birds’ eggs and are sheltering in the structures.

More directly, in the Angry Birds: Hatching a Universe book, which concerns the creation of the series and its games at the time, straight-up has Iisalo deny the epidemic directly influenced the pig-based design of the enemies (image from Discord, take is as you will):

However, it's long been rumored that there was a circumstantial aspect that may have influenced the choice of the Angry Birds nemeses: an outbreak of swine flu. lisalo is quick to play this down: "It was certainly something that was happening that you couldn't fail to notice, but I wouldn't say that it was a direct influence!"

This is it. I wanted to share these sources I found since they contradict the page's (and employee's) claim that the swine flu epidemic was a factor in pigs being picked as the antagonists. Cheers. Lazesusdasiru (talk) 00:39, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
