How Does This GENOME SHATTERING Vampiric Retrovirus Work? Last Voyage Of The Demeter Explained 

Any chance of a video on the Quarians from Mass Effect?

Yes I keep find the lords videos

Will you or have you ever gone over “The Strain”?

The big question here is why travel all the way to London on a ship? Did he run out of people in all of continental Europe and Asia? The whole boat trip seems stupid and unnecessary

@RoanokeGaming -- I believe good sir that towards the start of the video, while lising items within the Roanoke's Personal Heebejeebe's Department, you forgot the ever elusive, yet always pure nightmare fuel exuding evil Anglerfish!!! Lol😜😆😈

That does make some sense. Guy survives hundreds of years but poofs out because he left the window open just before he is about to drink some girl's blood?

Yeah the whole "sunlight kills" thing came about to try and avoid a lawsuit by Stoker's estate for being an unauthorized production.

This is shown in the Francis Ford Coppola film where Dracula is walking around in daytime but is limited mostly to his mental powers at the time. His thralls did sleep during the day out of the sun though.

Nosferatu died because he was caught in the sun. It wasn't a coincidence.

Honestly vampires in ancient mythology don’t have a weakness to the sun, they just like to hunt at night

this is always my interpretation, when it comes to piracy or war the captain goes down with his ship cause its a battle and tbf u have nowhere to run if the ships go down cause ur the last to go.

wait, people get mad when a captain fucking leaves a sinking ship?

And here I figured it was a monetary/status thing, much like how tradesmen live by reputation. Having your ship sink is the kind of thing that might bankrupt a captain, as even if they were able to recover financially (a hard ask in a time with dubious-at-best insurance companies), the blow to their reputation would generally prevent them from finding or retaining skilled crewman. Thus, my interpretation of "the captain goes down with his ship" was that regardless of reason or outcome, they have lost their livelihood.

@@sebastiang8634 why would having a ship sink bankrupt the captain? It was hardly ever actually _their_ ship...

@@BeetleBuns if they're liable for damages, they're still on the hook for that loss.

A human of scientific culture!

Incredible example of vampirism. The concept of vampires being a subhuman predatory species was insane.

@@Wanabechef and the explanation of why crosses worked being linked to a rare form of epilepsy caused by the sight of right angles.

Roanoke would have a field day with Blindsight in general tbh. The vampires AND the aliens. Peter Watts is one of my idols as a marine biologist.

Been looking for a good read, this sounds like a good one. That’s for the recommendation

+STS-qi1qy The Romani were the Draculas own crew and men. Both in the movies and the Book. Although Dracula hunted even from their people. If the baby he stole in the book to feed his vampire women are from their tribe

Roanoke-Simps, listne good and listen well: The Anime Dr Stone is exactly for you, same for Ascendance-of-Bookworm, but im not here to just Give but also Take: Can anyone summarize some simple Medicine-Recipes for me? See, im on a quest for Journey right now and wanna do my own little 'Isekai Guide-Book' in case i ever get isekai'd

@@loturzelrestaurantwhat the hell are you smoking

@@loturzelrestaurant ...huh?

​@@loturzelrestaurantbirch bark can help with headaches

Heck, in Dracula, he could walk around in broad daylight, and was only slightly weakened by the noon sun.

Heck, even Drac in the novel could go out in the day just fine, albeit limited in powers, and Carmilla just felt sick and tired when out in the day. Thanks Nosferatu...

Heck, also in Dracul

​@@Didymus20X6And to he fair, aren't we all weakened by the noon sun?

​@@rosesweetcharlottedepends on the time of year. It's hellish during the summer but actually quite refreshing during a cold winter day.

Was waiting for someone to say ahahah

@@reecebiscuits420 haha I been posting anglerfish facts on his videos. The 3 before have facts on it too.

That last part makes them just like lobsters!

@@PresidentFunnyValentine i was going to comment this same thing, they taste good 8/10 would recommend

Omg, next video, mention the red handfish! Bizarre Beasts just did a video on them and I had no idea they were in the angler family!

While a different vaccine, when I had to take the tetanus shot after stepping on a rusty nail, I felt like crap for around 3 days or so. Which is very unlike me to get sick.

Yeah, as I get older, I find vaccines affect me more. HOWEVER, I remember that the disease I'm preventing would be far worse! 😊

@@saga2964 well for me lockjaw would also be pretty bad but I can understand wanting to avoid getting rabies.

Still, you might want to mention that to your doctor--you might have a problem with one of the ingredients, or something. That sounds like a pretty severe reaction.

it didn't affect me as badly as it did you, but damn it still fucked me up for a bit

I chock it up to being more like shifting his way through stages in a metamorphosis, this is a pretty demonic dracula I kind of see it as like him regressing to conserve energy and hide his presence, guy's basically like a deformed torso with massive hands when we first see him creeping around the corners, its only by the end where I assume he has achieved his full strength and that is how he naturally looks, the exaggerated features feel like displays of its fitness

And in the last scene, he's back to Able To Pass For Human If You Don't Look Hard.

And all they needed was some lemons

@@rosesweetcharlotteOr even just cabbage (it's high in vitamin C).

@@randlebrowne2048 That sounds good, on a sandwich especially.

Try keeping that fresh in a two year voyage ​@@randlebrowne2048

Limes, not lemons ​@@rosesweetcharlotte

Probably because the moon light would be way less than sunlight

Could be that the moonlight is too weak or the UV portion of the sunlight is not being reflected off of the moon.

The moonlight comes from sunlight reflecting off the earth.

​@ZephyrIguana then how is a lunar eclipse possible?

Like a good slave.

Yeah, but did he add anglerfish infected with vampire disease to that list before the end?

he hates anglerfish, he doesn't fear them

I was coming here to comment just that!

Except vampirism wasn’t really a thing. The modern idea of vampire starter in popularity due to Dracula, Varney, and Camilla.

​@@jonathancampbell7798what?

@@highex1606 Those were the stories that popularized the vampire in Victorian fiction. The notion of vampires existed long before that, but there were never any consistent ruled about how they worked. The notion of vampirism being a disease rather than a supernatural thing came about even later than that.

Ok I'm going to start off by saying that I love your videos and try to catch them whenever you post them, but I have to say that that omniman buttscare made me laugh way too loud, thank you for all you do my man.

Funny enough but vampirism (or at least stokers drakula) was inspired by superstitions about the symptoms of diabetics before anyone knew what it was.

Not a that point, 1897

...Roanoke-Simps, listne good and listen well: The Anime Dr Stone is exactly for you, same for Ascendance-of-Bookworm, but im not here to just Give but also Take: Can anyone summarize some simple Medicine-Recipes for me?

In movie, it's explained that the (Russian) ship would get a MAJOR bonus if they were able to make it to London in a very specific time. By the time Dracula starts actively hunting the crew, they're out of sight of land, and screwing off in the rowboats would have just ended in dying of dehydration.

I had assumed it was because they had reached the point England was the closest hunk of land to try and make port.

Duuuude I just rewatched that movie with my fiance that hadn't seen it. Wild ass movie for sure. Totally agree with ya big dawg. 👍

Mimic is also another name for -skinwalker-

Please read the books its based on ("All You Need Is Kill"). The movie is literally the exact same thing down to the names, but with Tom Cruise as the main character instead of a Japanese guy in his late teens-early 20s. The character development is darker as well.

And he did it.

Yeah where did the wings go so that he could fit into those clothes? Also his nose looked more human in that last scene.

those who have seen the dracula movie with gary oldman know that the true shapeshifting begins when he arrives in london

This is what made the original novel insane to me. They just dump several different blood types into Lucy and everyone is shocked when she dies. But that is what they knew at the time

@@rosesweetcharlotte They're shocked when she dies because she was actually getting better due to not only a replenished blood supply but also due to Van Helsing putting up anti-vampire charms around her room. That was until Dracula had enough, chucked a wolf from the local zoo through her window to gain entry, killed her mother, and then drained Lucy herself so much that she was dead by noon the next day, evidently being frustrated that his favorite Whitby snack was being kept out of reach.

The Strain is so stupid and fun. Fuck Zack!

Yeah, it was clear pretty early on that they weren't directly following the original. Reasonable, I think.

They could've asked the crew and captain of the Demeter to simply cast that crate into the ocean once they're far enough away.

I had the same thought! Also I wonder if Roanoke listens to Isaac Arthur? It seems like something he would enjoy.

The original bugged the shit out me for this reason. Like, Surprised Pikachu face, the lady dies after you pump her full different blood types. But that's what they knew how to do

​​@@rosesweetcharlotte I always like when movies set in earlier times acknowledged how people then thought and operated instead of viewing it from a modern lens

And, plenty of other studies have been done to see if psychics could possibly be real, and found pretty different results.

What bias?

@@exotikz7905 the researchers want to prove that the mirror neurons could have the influence, which even if there not aware of it, will influence the way they do things, so there's bias towards getting the results they want. And some of the researchers can and unfortunately will input modified data in order to skew the results towards their desired goals

@@stormjin2242that’s majority science in the modern day. None of it is scientific when all funding comes from the government

Is this a complaint? Because you are basically watching a video that analyses things in the movie?

That's what got me!!!

Um... If you are interested enough in the original story of Dracula to know what the Demeter is, exactly what plot devices can be spoiled for you? Dracula. Everyone killed. Ship wrecked. OMG! You mean there's a vampire!?!

@@giuseppe9653I don’t think it’s a complaint more or jus an observation that was funny yk? Like imagine having it spoiled cause it says vampire aids😭

Thought I saw that to

If we are thinking the same thing then yeah, I hope he’s taking care of himself.

Is he getting divorced?

Also, Peppers: develop a toxin that stimulates nerves to cause severe pain when eaten. Humans: eat them anyway, and even add them to other foods.

Supreme levels of omnivory just short of rotting trash is a definite benefit to survival.

@@icycrusader1947 our bodies don’t handle bacteria in our food well. We’ve spent so long cooking our food that we can’t digest raw meat quite right anymore.

@@GusCraft460 Our one culinary weakness...well that and a few disorders like Celiac or nut allergies.

I knew chocolate is poisonous to a fair few creatures, but what can't stomach grapes? Being a seed bearing fruit, seedless varieties that have always mildly confused me aside, I would have assumed they were meant to be eaten for seed dispersal...

I really loved that he was just a savage beast in this movie too. Why pretend? Who cares? He doesn't intend for any of these people to live. And the doctor and the women are interesting, because to me, this isn't just simple "pandering." This is a deliberate example of the erasure of certain people from history. I rather wish they did more with it, like the doctor being interrogated and then not believed strictly because he's blacm

And angler fish. Don't forget the angler fish.

​@Didymus20X6 specifically the hatred for Anglerfish.

If they are advanced, how does a simple right angle break their brains?

That's partially taken from the novel Blindsight by Peter Watts, or the writer had a similar thought.

@@maiafay It's the cross-wiring in their visual cortex that lets them take in and process information vastly faster than baseline humans, which is linked to their "omnisavant" abilities (throw down rice on the ground, a vampire doesn't need to consciously count, they 'know' how many grains there are immediately, for example). But yes, that wiring causes a dangerous feedback loop if intersecting right angles occupy more than 20 degrees of their visual field, causing seizures that can become fatal. There are basically no precise right angles in nature so vampires were okay feeding on early humans until people invented architecture with right angles, then the vampires died out as a subspecies. So theorises Peter Watts in his novel Blindsight, in which vampires have been 'resurrected' from the bits of their genome that are found in modern humans as a result of ancient interbreeding, because their cognitive abilities are very useful for advanced problemsolving. There's a drug regime that suppresses their issues with right angles, access to which is used to keep them compliant. The handlers think this is enough to keep them safe, it is not. :P

I actually dig that idea makes sense since magic usually is based on science we haven't explored yet I always assumed that and holy water is just alcohol mixed with water which since most vampires skins are very sensitive and has many open sores it would cause their skin to burn and they scream in pain they even get scarred from it

all of the "human" characteristics shown of him in this movie paints him as a psychopath, it's great. The only time he talks is to mock them in their fear, and when takes human form there is an inherent wrongness in it. he's there not only to feed off the living's blood, but their fear.

Roanoke-Simps, listne good and listen well: The Anime Dr Stone is exactly for you, same for Ascendance-of-Bookworm

Depends on where you live.

Because USA #1 baby

It's not a necessity. More of a reassurance that should a situation arise, it can be dealt with swiftly and from a safe distance. Not only that, but it's pretty easy to tell if someone has a gun. A knife? Not so much. Also, it's really only necessary in certain places. I live in an urban area with a good amount of crime and we keep a 9mm in a hidden but quickly accessible spot in the house. However, it STAYS in the house and is ONLY to be used for self-defense. I've only been in a couple situations where I would have felt safer carrying, but situational awareness is also key and I think that probably goes for everyone in any country. Any sort of weapon should be a last resort in an altercation.

there are plenty of people with guns who goes their entire lives without needing it on another person. It's a case of "Better have it and not need it, than need it and not have it." And literally every country in the world has the risk of you getting murdered by some house-invader. Some more than others, that is true, but the risk is there none the less. After alll, the police has NO duty to protect you. They are there to clean up your body and find evidence after the situation has passed, not to prevent your death.
