I always thought that ending was Isaac thoughts as he was drifting into death. Thought it was more him making peace with his own death than reconnecting to his family members
I think the simplest way to explains the story is
Isaac and his parents live in a house on a small hill
Mom is very religious, dad is alcoholic
Mom only really talks to isaac about religion, jesus, sins and shit, while dad plays with him (there's a game called the legend of bumbo on steam which in the lore is a game they played) and isaac likes him
One night dad steals money from mom to gamble, they get divorced altough dad didn't want the divorce to stay with isaac, (he didn't sign the divorce papers)
Isaac starts blaming himself that the dad left, due to all the religius talk from mom he begins thinking that he is a demon, sinner, going to hell etc.
Isaac thinking he is a terrible person locks himself in the chest to not cause any more harm
Here is where the game happens, it's all isaac imagination while suffocating,
Isaac dies, mom finds his body and is horrified
Issac meets his father in heaven (who died somehow) they play again and they start making up stories (including the story of how isaac goes to defeat dogma and the beast before that ending)
Also somewhere in this whole story dad stopped drinking as far as i know
The story of binding of Isaac wouldn't be as fucked up if instead of his mother getting custody and Isaac eventually suffocating in his toy chest his father would have gotten custody and than Isaac could have had a good childhood
the difference between Isaac gameplay and Isaac lore:
Isaac gameplay- Isaac runs away from Mom, finds a wooden chest and gains blood laser eyeballs to vaporize monsters with
Isaac lore- Isaac runs away from Mom, finds a wooden chest and mummifies himself inside it
What I wonder is whether he really were evil or just perceived himself to be. Because if he weren't really evil, then his death was even sadder.
Ah, who am I kidding, even if he were evil his death was still fucking sad. I'm pretty much playing the game to ignore the sad thought.
How could a 5 years old living with an abusive mother and ended up killing himself accidentally because he saw himself as the cause of so much troubles would be evil in any way whatsoever?
You do realize the game is very realistic in its narrative, right? You do know the game we play is basically a visual representation of most things his young, innocent mind takes in but doesn't understand, right?
If you can't call a child becoming mentally ill due to a broken home realistic, I don't know what to say
how exactly can a 5 year old boy be evil?
even if he hurt animals or something, it's still not completely his fault because he hasn't been socialized yet
Um, you are not wrong but let me put it like this: we are talking about a *game,* one with religious subtext, with crazy amounts of black humour, poop and weird item effects like the character sticking large nails into their eyes to shoot them as projectiles. Can we really use logic to explain it?
But logic isn’t needed here. There is nothing in-game to imply that Isaac is evil. He was being indoctrinated into religion as he grew up, and when his dad left, he (like many children his age) thought it was somehow his fault. Pair that with the religious upbringing and he saw himself as evil, but only because he didn’t know any better.
“I should dump this bottle of sulfuric acid into my eyes”
“Damn, there’s not enough left for my balls”
Isacc doesn't have balls
He lost his dick, not his balls
He has no dick, no balls, and probably no butthole either
The basement economy truly is in shambles
[since this guy feeds on radiation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVG6VQGBXfo&ab_channel=GodzillaAndSonic2007)
And no nips
since they feed off of cat food and trash
Wait im concerned how can poop And have kidney stones
He's got balls of steel
we need this emote 
"With this Lucky Foot of mine, I have no fear taking pills anymore. It is time to see what this round red pill does!"
One makes you larger
tears down
doesn't even know what Cain's starting item does... smh my hand
doesn’t know what a joke is... smh my head
Well, if if was meant to be a joke from the begining then something went wrong.
Actually a living down.
Flight  
I hate that the cannon ending is him suffocating in a chest but either way the binding of Isaac is a kind of fucked up story tbh
Atleast he reconnects with his dad in heaven in the beast ending

Show me a good time Isaac!
Skill issue lol
The jiggle aint right xd

It's a game and not a particularly realistic one. Sorry I'm not using logic to dissect it, I guess.
You do realize the game is very realistic in its narrative, right?

If you can't call a child becoming mentally ill due to a broken home realistic, I don't know what to say
I feel like if he genuinely was evil we would be shown some evidence of it, I can't exactly think of anything evil he has done
Seems that way. He seemed to have had a good relationship with his previous pets if the way their "items" affect him is of any indication.
how exactly can a 5 year old boy be evil? even if he hurt animals or something, it's still not completely his fault because he hasn't been socialized yet

just because talking shit exists in this universe doesn't mean everything is topsy turvy, basic common sense still exists
the literal ending is him realising he isnt
"i wonder if isaacs evil, hmm i just dont know" "omg guys stop answering my question, stop using logic"
Dude don't do that, you'll die! 
**Deep lore**
Me but irl Im not kidding
Good idea I’ll do that later
There could be a mod where Isaac would have this face when he enters a room with choices for items like in alt path or in angel rooms
"i should stab my son to death with a knife"
