Pretty huge overreaction honestly its slightly stereotypical but hardly offensive.

@@MatthewCJoy it’s very stereotypical and solidly offensive but you do you fam

@@MatthewCJoy The stereotype is an issue, but not the main issue. It's the notion of 'turning' gay that's the issue.

@@Mira-sx2qf and why is that an issue?

@@lifotheparty6195 explain why then, pink is seen as a feminine color and thats because statistically females like it much more than males. And its pretty obvious that gay men tend to be more likely to be feminine than straight men. Also not everyone is born gay, studies have shown that there is many ways one can grow up to be gay do to various things. Sure its not nearly 100% but it still exists. Also saying someone is feminine isnt offensive because being feminine isnt bad. So if every part of it is partially based in fact and none of it is harmful how is it deeply offensive? Sure its a bit stereotypical, but again its hardly offensive. Overusing words when they dont fit is what makes people take those situations and words less seriously, its a boy who cried wolf situation. Pink krytonite turning him gay is just a joke, and a pretty lighthearted one at that, I dont know why people act like its incredibly offensive. I can only imagine that if you get offended so much by that then you must have it pretty good, that or youve been staying on the selfrightous side of twitter too long.

Wennan Wee Wulligan

Nah it's Oorennan

My immediate thought also 😂

But if you follow the same naming convention as Waluigi instead, it's Wabrennan.

Um actually, Wario’s name is a portmanteau of the Japanese word warui (I can’t write the Japanese symbols, but it means “bad”) and Mario, so Brennan would become Warennan or something like that. The same thing goes for Waluigi as well

The leagues were horizontal travel around the world while underwater. It would be deeper underwater than three times the circumference of the planet.

@@SidneyBroadshead that is true, but beside the point. what does that have to do with brennan's confusion

@@sydssolanumsamsys Leagues are used for distance measurement between two points on water surfaces, while fathoms are used for depth measurement. So even though you can say 20000 leagues under the sea, you are changing the meaning of leagues to suit the sentence.

@@KdX853 ok

According to google, league is “distance by land,” so his argument is probably correct that you can’t use league to measure depth under the sea.

@@williambenton9959 I wouldn't call more than a single follow up excessive though. Yeah, asking 10 questions for something simple is bad.

I’ve heard that if you walk by the Hufflepuff common room while hungry, the door just opens for you!

Funnily enough these riddles ARE fairly secure because apparently (at least i remember reading this somewhere) witches and wizards by default are less logic based in their thinking due to them being magical creatures and magic is basically the opposite of logic.< Most muggles, if they could somehow get into Hogwarts, would be able to get into the Ravenclaw common room while only a few non-ravenclaws would and those who would be able to were most likely considered for Ravenclaw to begin with (McGonagall was a hat stall and could easily do it and while we did not get evidence of it, we all know Hermoine would be able to and the hat was also considering putting her in Ravenclaw) Hufflepuff's "password" is a just knocking the correct barel in the basement. you gotta knock on a specific barrel in the tempo of "Helga Hufflepuff" if you fail you get doused in vinegar. This password never gets changes and cleaning off vinegar from yourself is basically wizard 101 so it does feel pretty tame.

@@jcolinmizia9161 I'm pretty sure that's actually the kitchen of Hogwarts, but they are in the same area so i doubt anyone that doesn't belong in hufflepuff would care much about the difference

almost sounds like a metaphor for our reliance on modern day technology.

And that actually answers the question of how Lord Voldemort never thought of strangling a small child and instead decided to blast it with magic. 🤷‍♂️

Also as pointed out on either a talk episode with Brennan & Matt Mercer or some bits from SuperCarlinBros videos (I forget which), having a modern phone/text system instead of relying on owls and letters would have pretty much stopped Voldemort's plans pretty quickly.

@@toonman5099 Gathering followers: Many Death Eaters and supporters joined Voldemort out of fear, greed, or belief in his cause. Having access to phones and texts would not have changed this. His core group of loyal followers likely would have still joined him. Recruiting from Slytherin: Voldemort had a natural advantage in recruiting students from Slytherin's house at Hogwarts, who tended to share his preferences for pureblood supremacy. Phones would not have changed the ideological alignment of many Slytherin students. Creating Horcruxes: Voldemort's creation of Horcruxes to achieve immortality was a secret plan he carried out alone. Even if allies had known about his Horcrux obsession, they likely would not have known the specifics of how he implemented it. Phones could not have exposed or prevented his Horcrux magic. Influencing the Ministry: Voldemort infiltrated the Ministry of Magic and influenced key officials through fear, bribery, and the Imperius curse. Modern communication would not have prevented these types of Machiavellian manipulation tactics. Conspiring with Death Eaters: Voldemort met secretly with his most loyal Death Eaters to conspire and plan using protective charms and secret locations. Even with phones, his inner circle likely would have found ways to meet in person to ensure complete secrecy. This means that a phone would not have stopped him but rather slow him down

some Ravenclaw witches and wizards tend to have qualities that would allow them to develop the skill for limited wandless magic: Intelligence - The natural ability to understand, reason, and think critically about complex magical concepts. • Curiosity - The desire to experiment, research, and discover the secrets and nuances of magic. • Work ethic - The diligence and determination to study and practice magic for years to develop the type of focus and control needed for wandless spells. While Ravenclaws are known for their intelligence, creativity, and wit, their thought processes and abilities often manifest in unique ways that set them apart from others. The traits that define Ravenclaws, including intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and curiosity, can lead some Ravenclaws to develop prodigious talents at a young age. However, for many other Ravenclaws, these traits simply result in above-average intellectual abilities and aptitudes for learning. Given their distinctively clever and insightful nature, even Ravenclaws who are not traditionally considered 'prodigies' can still think, perceive and excel in ways that set them apart from their peers.

I was thinking of ways to flip a single letter of Brennan's name to fit this criteria and I came up with Breuuau. Maybe just Brennau.

Or Prennan would make the most sense, since a lowercase b is an upside down p. So Prennan Lee Wulligan would be the name of his Wario.

@@TheTr1x._. um actually, Prennan ree Wulligan.

I guess that depends on how you “flip” it. For some reason, I was imagining “flipping” a letter upside as rotating the letter 180°. But clearly that has very different results than just mirroring a letter upside down

Are you nerds actually taking Dan's little joke that Brennan is his own worst enemy and trying to logic it? (If so, that's fine).

I headcannoned it at one point to "Ravenclaw has a safe-word password, like the security questions you have if you forget your password. They only really use the puzzles in front of other houses because they go 'Yeah they're the smart ones, that makes sense' and use the password any other time because nobody can be bothered to know the answer to every riddle."

@@kane2742 fair enough

Smallville taught us this

Also, Pink Kryptonite only appeared in one panel of one issue of supergirl, as a satire of the pre-crisis superman stories, that involved such a rainbow spectrum of kryptonites. Does that make it ok? Not really. And the writer was hella straight, and is one of those writers that just gives off this vague feeling that something is not right.

i was ligit thinking that they were gonna talk about gold k but i guess not

Um Actually, Gold Kryptonite is not the only way he can lose his powers. The Red Sun chamber, as shown in Superman 2, where he is exposed to high quantities of Red Sun radiation can also remove his powers permanently. The only way he was able to get his powers back was to find the original Crystal used to make the Fortress of Solitude so the chamber could be used to reverse the Red Sun effects.

Fun fact: In the somewhat recent “Justice League Action”, there is an episode where Superman is exposed to pink kryptonite and instead of becoming a gay stereotype, he became a woman.

Fr. Normally when I watch these I have no idea what the answer is, but I actually knew that question and was fairly surprised Brennan didn't

Um actually the reason you may have had a hard time finding her is that it's spelled Jackie Kashian. She's been around. She appears on podcasts semi-regularly. She has her own podcast called The Dork Forest.

How about rewatch the beginning and learn how the show works? It’s not a question it's an incorrect statement. The whole point is to correct that leagues isn’t a measuring depth, that isn’t anything to do with the title it’s just how the unit works (like stories measure the height of buildings, leagues measure across water). Seas over sea doesn’t change the structure of the sentence but it might help someone ignorant of the answer to figure it out. It wouldn’t be much of a quiz if all the corrections could be figured out just by paying attention.

while a fun fact, I think changing seas to plural doesn't specify it is travelling across multiple of them. People often use plural as just a general phrase. "I've ridden the high seas for years" doesn't actually have to mean I've been to more than one ocean. I could just be stating that I've sailed on the ocean for a long time (another example in what I just said; being that many people refer to the general waters of Earth as just The Ocean, even though it is multiple bodies of water).

Ever since I was a kid and heard the name I was convinced they just went really deep

In Spanish it was translated to "20,000 leagues of underwater voyage", benefits of being bilingual

Also where did "a tour of the underwater world" come from? I was expecting that to be what was wrong.

thank you for posting this I was so frustrated watching that part

I kind of like that. It sort of harkens back to the original films. I always thought it was implied that Vader only had a saber as he was a turned Jedi, with the red indicating the turn. It was surrly implied that the emperor never used a lightsaber and nor did Yoda

Also, in the old continuity, no naturally occurring red crystals existed. All Sith crystals were synthetically grown or were passed down from Master to Student. So Sith never used Kyber crystals, new or old continuity.

i see somebody watched clone wars

@@Peter_Larsen How old is the old continuity? Does it predate the end of the original trilogy? As I say, in my head - based on just the OG - sith (or rather the baddies, as they weren't called sith in the films), NEVER used lightsabres. Only jedi used them, and then only jedi knights, yoda never needed them. Vader was only an exception as he was a jedi who turned to the darkside - his red lightsabre symbolised him being a knight who turned to the dark, like the black knight in Arthurian myth. The idea of the emperor of the OG using a sabre seemed absurb. I like it when it was small and symbolic, rather than muddying it with all the canon.

you surely could describe depth in leagues though, which was what brennan was objecting to. Leagues, like fathoms, are a measurement of distance.

A League and a fathom are planar/directional by definition. A league is a measurement of distance traveled on or in a parallel reference plane to the surface of the sea or ground. The origins of the word are attributed to the measurement that a Roman legion would travel in an hour. The historical length of the league is dependent on where you were and whose standard of measurement you were living in. Fathoms is always depth. It would be incorrect to say I walked 20 fathoms. A mile, foot, meter, etc. is omni-directional meaning that a foot is the same no matter the direction. If you were in a submarine you could say we are at 6 fathoms and direction is implied. If you were to say we are 36 feet you would have to add the word depth to indicate direction. Measuring depth in leagues is also useless because the level of accuracy is terrible. Fathoms were used primarily for ships to know the depth of water in shipping channels, around reefs, etc. So yes they are both measures of distances but they have very different meanings and are not interchangeable.

Yeah dude they say this in the video

@@andrewurban6108 I would say leagues in the more modern sense are directional by convention/connotation rather than definition. Fathoms are definitely alway depth though.

That’s literally in the video
