OMGkawaiiAngel Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Well... M is an upside down W if you didn't know. Hmph. Spoiler And Maxwell's "real name" Is William Carter, Maxwell is a "stage name", I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArubaroBeefalo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I remember read that was a coincidence that the very first character start with W and then they decide to keep on it for every character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The first few characters started with a W and they decided it would just be a thing from now on. Imo it's a pretty endearing detail about the series as a whole. Also, Maxwell is named Waxwell in the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minitte Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I thought it was because maxwell was suppose to be the antagonist of the game so they reversed W to M; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bubbainpa Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 It’s set to W for Wumbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterrkid Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Maxwell was the antagonist in the first Don't Starve games and in the first act of the plot / lore. In the single-player DS games he's the last character you can unlock. So for a long time he is the villain, rather than part of the cast. It's like in Nintendo's Mario games, where Wario is Mario's antagonist, also playing on the M/W inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowdropPax Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I thought it was because Maxwell used to control the constant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrramon_GOLD Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 His real name is William. In the lore his real name is William. The game just says his name is maxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primalflower Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 i like that one theory video someone once did where the reason why everyone's names start with W is because W is close to a symbol in the ancient's alphabet that is symbolic towards like...sitting on the throne or monarch-type things. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
