So look, when you are designing some crazy bug in order to combat another bug that acts as a vector for any disease, the general vibe on that is, you need to figure out how that impacts at the environment drop it in but also maybe, just maybe, actually figure out what genetic mutations you are inducing in the animal you want to drop another. Because Dr Tyler over here failed biblically. Now we got mantisroachmites running around, snatching up humans. So in todays episode, we will discuss how this happened and why things were so dire in the first place!
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy Mimic Trilogy - Strickler's Disease and Judas Breed Hybrid Explored| Good Science, Bad Bug ( 1 2 3 )

I always loved the first movie because the monsters actually acted like ANIMALS. Everything they did was in line with what a natural insect would be doing. I.e. only attacking for food or protecting the colony, being tricked by pheromones, etc. They worked so well that I gave a pass to that dumb gene splicing/rapid evolution plot line that started the whole mess.

14:00 You're not giving the cop enough credit. He wasn't trying to "hoof it out of there". He was acting as a distraction. Knowing that by being wounded and bleeding, he would have slowed them down and attracted the bugs, he instead decided to distract them by acting as bait. It should have been obvious seeing how he was singing when it had been earlier established that it attracted the bugs and was something he did when stressed. He was probably trying to keep his wits while knowing his fate or at the very least draw the bugs towards him while the rest escaped.

There are actually quiet a lot of insects that mimic not as defense against predators but to feed on other species. Fireflies learn to mimic the flashes of smaller firefly species so they can eat them and their is more than one creature that mimics ants and just follows them around and just picks one off when it strays from the group, bugs are scary.

@NoESanity 2 года назад

not exactly that was a theory for a while. it's closer to say that ligers basically go through both lion and tiger puberty, so both genes for the growth between juvenile and adult are expressed. if it was that they didn't have the gene to stop growing, you'd have 30ft long ligers they reach maturity at about 4 years old and live to about 20, so they would be like 3-5 times as massive give or take diet and the like.

To clear up confusion: Lion-tiger hybrids only grow huge if the father was a lion; if the father was a tiger, the offspring is on the smaller side (and called tigon). The theory was, both tigers and lions have growth inhibitor genes, but lions get it from the mother, tigers get it from the father.

44:45 there's also aggressive mimicry. Where an predator mimics a species which might either attract prey or not be perceived as thread by a different species. A prime example are Photurinae, they mimic the "light" of fireflies to attract males and eat them. Considering that the judas breed is preying on humans, this might also be the possible evolutionary benefit for why they have adapted to humans.

@RavengerX1 2 года назад

There's also the various types of Ant Mimic Spiders which can copy the pheromones of which ever ant species they prey on, have body shapes more in line with ants, and some, similarly to the human judas breed, have elongated mandibles that fit together to mimic the shape of an ant's head. Really incredible stuff.

I actually have a theory about the human mimicry, lungs and intelligence being adapted into the Judas breed’s evolution. The chemical substance the original generation used to amp up the roach’s metabolism you said had mutagenic properties. Which is what made their metabolism increase, perhaps the chemical had the unintended side effect of genetic blending, as in it assimilated the DNA of a different organism into the Judas breed. As to how it explains why human traits such as lungs and intelligence and the extreme form of mimicry made its way into these insects. You have to remember that the roaches lived in the sewer, a place that houses all the biological waste that humans produce on a daily basis. Whether it be urine, feces, blood from various reasons, anything. So it could be possible that the chemical mutagen the Judas breed produced which affected the roaches also blended the present human dna from the waste consumed by the roaches with both insects as they bred. This is a theory but I figured it would be something that could assist in figuring out how the Judas breed could have developed their current form.

@598019001 7 месяцев назад

New york, Would not be shocked if there was more than one body in that sewer to a company the other human waste, With possibly Generation upon generations of those amped up metabolic Judas Bugs snacking on it/them, Which could explain why they started adapting towards hunting humans in the first place, Human bodies being the richest, albeit rare source of nutritious they could find until they evolved to go and get it themselves.

I always loved the concept for this franchise, evolved intelligent insects mimicking rough human forms by way of "masks" and an upright posture, to better hunt them but not just being a man bug, still possessing their natural weaponry and superior maneuverability and speed. Its really great use of speculative evolution in creature design, even if the validity of the writing fails in areas like saying we were somehow in any way their predators when we are clearly prey. I have no idea why they would write it like that.

@@CM-hx5dp The thing you need to understand is that humans are monsters. Individually we're weak, as a species we're the most horrifying life-form in existence. We basically annihilated every creature in every ecosystem we've ever inhabited due to our ability to use tools and act collectively and a rampant instinctive need to exterminate anything that could even potentially hunt us. Even Australia couldn't stop us and they have spiders with life-bars. Sure, against a school-teachers and homeless the Judas Breed are terrifying, even to an armed cop. Flood those tunnels with 5k marines with flame-throwers, concussion grenades, gas cannisters, and automatic shotguns with dragon's breath rounds and it'd be a different story while nests outside of cities could be spotted with infra-red imaging and taken out with bunker-busters. Starship Troopers is the only one to get this right. We're far far scarier than a bug army.

@AveSicarius 2 года назад

@@CM-hx5dp I mean they do if they ever develop weaponry capable of killing their predator's while far exceeding their population size. Regardless, many prey items will actively kill predator's, especially their young, if they ever get the opportunity, they just aren't thorough enough about it due to limited cognitive skills, otherwise they absolutely would eradicate their predator's, and they have the means to do so. Most predators are far outnumbered by their prey items, and if those prey are of a similar size, and have some form of weaponry, it isn't inconceivable at all for them to easily turn the tables if they chose to do so. Even a herd of Gazelle could wipe out a Lion pride if they decided something along the lines of "for the many we sacrifice the few" and just charged them as a group. Let alone Wildebeests or other prey with serious weaponry. I'd say we classify as prey items in most natural interactions with predatory species, yet we've wiped a fair few out due to artificial equivalents to evolutionary weapons combined with being able to work as a group and outnumbering those predator's significantly. A Tiger is absolutely a natural predator of Homo Sapiens given the chance, but they are still going extinct at our hands.

For the record: The surface tension of the surface of water makes it the perfect protecting from an explosion. The harder something hits water, the harder the surface of the water becomes. Example, if you are floating on the surface of water when an explosion goes off beneath you, you can survive. If an explosion goes off above water and you dive beneath it, the explosion will be dispersed above water - thus protecting you from the concussive force (which is far more deadly than the shrapnel produced from an explosion). Therefore, it is entirely believable you could survive an explosion if you dive into water. Source: every armed force on the planet, and Mythbusters.

Water, being incompressible, propagates a blast wave much more readily than air. Water would provide more protection from radiation but much less protection from a blast.

@rosiehawtrey 2 года назад

There is a reason modern torpedoes are not designed to hit a ship but run deep and blow under the keel. Water is 812x denser than air so what an SC500 bomb would do in air as far as blast is 812x worse in water, and SC500 often killed by blast. Nuclear torpedo is the same idea - just you only need to get within half a click (and having the pre recorded platinary of the target helps too, for homing).

@a-blivvy-yus 2 года назад

@@JamesDM4 The problem with this is that you're talking about what happens when the explosion happens underwater in order to propagate there, not when the explosion happens outside of the water, where surface tension (mostly) prevents it from propagating into the water. The problem with the original comment is that the guy was very clearly inside the initial explosive blast before he hit the water so it's too late for it to have protected him by the time he makes it there. That said, there is a potential scenario where the mixture of the flammable gas in the air varies between the rooms. This could make this situation play out in a believable way for the guy to survive. In the room he's in, there's the right amount of gas to ignite - but not properly explode with a harmful shockwave - from his spark. While this burst of flame isn't explosive, the next room has a better mixture of the gas with the oxygen in the air, allowing for the ignition to turn into a secondary explosion once it hits that better environment to detonate. This window of time could theoretically be the time he needed to get himself into the water before the shockwave hit. Unlikely and doesn't seem to match what's shown on screen, but it's as valid an excuse as I think you can give for what's meant to have been happening there.

There is many interpretations of Judas, but considering this: without him, Yahweh's plans would have failed because they required the sacrifice to work.

@johnathanmonsen6567 11 месяцев назад

The movie is loosely based on a short story by the same name, but required a TON of extrapolation; the short story was much simpler, but still had that really interesting core premise. IIRC, it was a Victorian setting or perhaps early 20th century London, and the main characters basically realize that this one odd neighbor who never talks to anybody is actually a giant insect that's quite well described--it just has spots and lines suggesting a human face on the top of its head, relying on distance to keep people from noticing it wasn't blinking, its carapace looked like victorian garb, complete with coattail wing cases and a hat. The implication is that this is a more natural evolution, the insect mimicking the most formidable predator species around to avoid whatever predates it. The protagonists confront the insect in its apartment/nest, and it panics, flying out the window... until ANOTHER animal, evolved to mimic a CHIMNEY, snaps up and catches it out of the air. The implication is that there may be an entire ecosystem of animals that have evolved to look like various parts of the cityscape. And who knows how many of them wouldn't be opposed to trying out human prey?
