In the mid 60's Gerry Anderson created the most beautifully murderous kids show the world had ever seen. I can't believe no-one else has done a Kill Count for it.
I watched and loved this show as a small child in the mid 70s, along with countless other children. All the violence and no one noticed or cared. Those were "different times"😮
I love the fact the heroes just acted without messing about. Pulls gun on garage owner, shoots him. Blue "You knew he was a mysteron agant" Scarlet "i suspected"
I thought everyone was going to come back by Magical Space Resurrection, but the body count and high number of car/plane crashes in what was supposed to be a kid's show, surprised me. Gamera wouldn't like this show, but I'm definitely going to check it out!
6:46 When you learn the context of this episode (Its called "Heart Of New York" which involves Bank Robbers faking being Mysterons all for a heist), you learn that even The Mysterons have standards.
You know it’s a good show when the title character gets killed 5 minutes into episode 1. You know that episode with the hunting lodge that needlessly goes up and down? Didn’t it establish that Mysterons can ‘only’ be killed by electricity, so technically any Mysterons that were shot or blown up weren’t dead and could still be working their original’s normal day jobs just waiting until they can cause havoc once again…
@@DiamandaHagan Technically, those killed conventionally are only of the human they've duplicated, while those killed by electrocution or anti-Mysteron guns would be double kills of the human and the Mysteron controller. I think, since Scarlet is a duplicate but can survive gunshots and explosions that would kill a normal duplicate so....did his Mysteron defect?
Doesn't seem to include the other two crew members in the Martian Exploration Vehicle after the Mysteron complex was rebuilt. Must have been killed. The Mysterons had no use for them. They only wanted Captain Black to do their dirty work. Also the helicopter that was shooting at Captain Blue must have been manned beforehand when the Mysterons destroyed it & reconstructed it, leaving only the voices of those who originally operated it. Also in the the episode 'Renegade Rocket' Major Reeves was obviously Captain Brown previously. Even looked like he was using a Spectrum issued gun with the top of it coloured brown. Exactly like the one Captain Brown would have had for the colour he was given when becoming a Spectrum agent.
Those aren't really resurrections, but recreations. Meaning none of the Mysteron victims were ever brought back. Since at least three Mysteron agents are never killed. The Total should be 58,387.
technically, SKR4 Carries 2 Men on-board & the Najama complex, an automated facility in the Andes that desalinates seawater to irrigate the interior of South America. just saying.
God damn this show was brutal, I'm surprised my parents let me watch this when I was a kid. I even had an action figure of the protagonist and a toy of his car.
Would you consider doing the CGI Captain Scarlet? Can't remember how many people die in it, but I was still shocked when I saw him snap someone's neck.
I'm thinking about it heh. This video grew out of me rewatching it while editing and then spending time thinking about the show because I'm developing a Headcanon Fodder idea for it.
TREBLE CROSS: you counted the same resurrection twice, the last one is actually the same as the revival in the hospital of the human Major Gravener INFERNO: everyone was evacuated so no one killed in the avalanche
Mary Whitehouse must've been LIVID. Is it my imagination, or are the shots of 'foot stomping on brake pedal' actually using real person's leg(s) & foot(s)?
Superb killcount, although you're a bit bloodthirsty in estimating how many people were in buildings and other establishments that, logically, would have been evacuated before they were destroyed. After all, when the London Car-Vu collapsed , the area around the car park would have been evacuated, by force if necessary. Of course, your being Hagan makes the thirst for blood entirely understandable. Spectrum Is SplatterHound Red. ( salutes )
I tried to only count the deaths in places that weren't mentioned as being evacuated (I was really looking forward to the moon colony and oil refinery destructions for instance but they ruined my fun). If anything I think I undercounted because the missile base was still firing missiles off at random.
@@DiamandaHagan ...including missiles that were so obviously on strings that the booms were spinning them like tops as they lifted off. Funniest missile launches I've ever seen.
Interesting choice, Mistress. And boy, this ain’t the Thunderbirds! A lot of death. The faces here were also sculpted better, if less mobile. I want to watch this, it looks really cool for a Marionette show.
Should most of the resurrections count? They're not them anymore. They've been replaced. Or is this just an excuse to watch the amazing miniature work?
Very entertaining. I'm surprised that you'd heard of "Goodies and the Beanstalk". Have you watched the Power Themes 90 "Captain Scarlet" video? You should do some videos about "Joe 90" that Jerry Anderson made about a nine-year-old boy that the World Intelligence Network brainwashes to do its dirty work.
I know Joe 90! Watched it a few months back but no videos ideas sparked from it, maybe I could do one of Joe's kills tho there's not too many of them. I did a video about The Goodies a few years ago, LOVE THEM.
@@DiamandaHagan Glad to be of service. For what it's worth (1) I'm surprised that you've heard of half the stuff you review in the first place and this is coming from someone who is a child of the 1970s. For what it's worth (2) Graeme Garden was & is my favourite goody. Especially when he impersonated David Attenborough and the Gorillas except it was a family of David Bellamies instead of a family of gorillas and when he impersonated Arthur C Clarke.
Magical Space Resurrection.........................I do nolot even know where to begin with this joke............. But it involves Goku, Optimus Prime, Marvel, and Dc comics.
NGL, I always wrote this show off, sight unseen, as "Thunderbirds but with spies or something?" but...I gotta say, there's actually a pretty effective and creepy alien invasion story (with maybe just the slightest dash of Kamen Rider) in this thing. I should check it out.
Honestly it's more of a terrorism thing as the aliens kill and replace people and make them commit acts of terrorism. Genuinely shocked that there wasn't an adult live action version at the height of the War on Terror.
