goop sorcery 🤝 bird magic metroid shenanigans

"Goop sorcery." I love it. ❤

Ngl I thought for a second the phazon segment was an actual ad segment

My theory with the Red Phazon of Tallon IV is that it's basically "Rotting." We know Phazon is alive in some capacity even if it may not be organic in the way we understand it. Compared to the Leviathans and Phaaze, the Impact Crater feels like it's somehow infected and dying as a result of being sealed away. Yet, while the necrotic body rots away, healthy Phazon manages to seep into the outside world and Metroid Prime runs amok.

Can we just hold for a second and admit that parts of the phazon is a "This is how us who suffer from pollen go through"?

Did you all notice that he was talking about the prime trilogy without putting in “Just in time”?

I personally find the substances of Ragnite from the Valkyria Chronicles series and Imulsion from the Gears of War series to be pretty conparable to Phazon. Ragnite: -A blue mineral substance that is mined for various purposes from fuel, medicine and other military applications in addition a select few are able to unlock powerful abilities from it in the case of the titular Valkyria. Immulsion: -A yellowish hazardous substance that was once mined heavily for fuel. Prolonged exposure to can lead to severe sickness, developing mutations, to eventually turn a living thing into a bloodthirsty monster in the form of the Lambent. It is ultimately revealed that Immulsion is part of a expansive living organism that nearly threatened all remaining life on Sera. In a little head canon of mine is that due Phazon's apparently effect on dimmesions as seen in Metroid Prime 2, what's to say that multiple leviathan metors could've crossed dimmesional boundries and landed on planets of other universes? Ragnite being one offshoot of a Phazon weakened strain that survived by being almost entirely benificial to life in its base form snd Immulsion bring another strain that evolved into a oure liquid gorm firvthe most part and still very hazardous to life.

A cool detail I loved about the Galactic Federation creating their own PED weapons is that despite managing to gain this advantage the Space Pirates managed to work around this quickly with weapons like those Phazon grenades you mentioned in the video, and you even see the effects these same grenades have on a PED Trooper on the GFS Vallhala where his backpack was overloaded and you can see these Phazon Tendrils sprouting out from his ded body

Phazon might not be that unique. Going with the idea of "Spirit of a planet". Phazon might be a reoccuring aspect not discussed within Metroid Lore itself. Aeion appears to be something similar. a planetary energy that can cause mutations, be used as a powerful energy source and can be used to mess with space/time (Phase Drift). Then we also have the Light of Aether itself. Another energy source unique to a planet, this one isn't mutegenic, but is enough to replace the need of a sun to sustain life and power a technologically advanced species. It makes me wonder if the Bions were onto something similar with their Amplification Beam, as it seemed like something local to the area. So the question I am asking myself, is this just a trait of the Metroid Universe? planets having a sort of radiant life-energy to them that directly effect their inhabitants?

Goop sorcery and bird magic… will humans have one?

I always wondered, how would Phazon interact with the X parasites. In fact I always wanted to see Phazon versions of the Metroid suit and the Fusion suit

“Just in time.”

I LOVE THE RADIOACTIVE FUNGAL SLIME!!!!!! 🗣

So technically, Dark Samus is more dangerous than Kirby.

13:45 OH my gosh the Crocomire plush!

0:10 I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!

Yes!!! I been waiting for a video on this topic for so long!!!! Thank you

Wow i was just playing metroid prime 3 like 2 hours ago and now i get a video about phazon that's crazy

I love the add at the beginning. Great video.

Another similar substance that came out pretty recently is the Coral from Armored Core 6. It's another very valuable and powerful substance that comes from only one planet, and is also sentient.

I've been wondering to myself with the same question since fucking 2009

Phazon is just Lean

So funny you mention Dune and spice. As a game called Dune 2 and RTS made by Westwood would be their stepping stone into making a genre and specifically. Command and Conquer. And making the corrosive, corrupting crystal Tiberium. Phazon and Tiberium are even quite similar. Both are slowly terraforming planets. Both cause great agony to those infected driving most if not all insane and transforming Fauna and Flora. It is a hard substance to destroy, and both come from a Meteor. You can even argue that Dark Samus made the Space Pirates into a cult for Phazon like the Brotherhood of Nod. Heck Phazon even being kind of explosive fits specifically the Blue Tiberium properties. The only difference is that Tiberium originally comes from Blossom Trees and takes nutrients from the planet while Phazon just does its thing and that Tiberium pretty much starts as a crystal and then can be melted down while Phazon seems to be a crystal or a liquid. Oh and Phazon is sentient. Tiberium is not. Though it does have an alien race that relies on it like addicts.

Nintendo please give up a remastered version of prime 2 and 3 or at least port them to the switch

Im going to need a 'Goop Sorcery' sticker. Good luck with the animation projects.

Good stuff good to see you still upload

Phazon Reminds me of Imulsion from Gears of War or in this case the other way around since Phazon cam first. Diffrents is that Imulsion was takes time and ppl didint know it was a parasite till way to late, they kinda have same propertys, becoming liquite to crystal tho diffrents, Imulsion makes the host explode under damage or to infect new hosts or a last resort to kill the enemys

I swear I heard someone say Metroid Prime isn't a Metroid, then ended the sentence like that, which was unhelpful, as I remember a part in Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, Dark Samus showed concern over the Metroid in cages, then quickly fled in a certain area.

I do wonder if Gorea might be related to Phazon in some way. Its energy core is yellow rather than blue, but it can corrupt and even steal technology for its own ends. Moreover, Gorea came to the Alymbic Cluster on a meteor, if memory serves. Probably a stretch, but it would help better connect Hunters to the rest of the Prime games.

Love that Battle Network 3 net theme

Anyone ever notice the similarities Prime has with Dead Space? Living planets(brethren moon) seeding other planets(with markers). Then the native species use the seed as a fuel source as it slowly corrupts everything on the planet. I’m not accusing anyone of copying anyone. I just thought the similarities were interesting.

Now I wonder, what would happen if the X-parasite came in contact with Phazon?

Why did samus suit turn black red in stsad of black blue in Metroid prime uno.? Red phazon was in that game too. It still hurt samus while she was immune to blue one. Red phazon might be the adult or full grown verson. The phaz planet we destroyed in MP3 was a baby. It was a planet that was corrupted by a laviathan into a baby phaz. Red is a sign of complete corruption. Dark samus was not compeltly corrupted as she took samus's red suite, making her immune the negative affects of blue phazon while reaping the benifitts. Just a theory

I find it funny how similar Phazon is to the protomolecule from the Expanse. Phazon came first but I doubt the Expanse writers played any Metroid games.

I think Phazon could be the Metroid to the Floods (from Halo) X parasite

Phazon is the Protomolecule from The Expanse. Change my mind 🤣

Awesome video as always 👌

Oh how I wish we knew when the next Nintendo Direct is coming.

When you think about it, Phazon is not too dissimilar from the Markers from Dead Space

Recollection sounds cool!

i watched the second dune movie yesterday this ideo weirdly helped make that movie alot more clear

Phazon shares a lot of similarities to tiberium from the Command and Conquer franchise. Both are extraterrestrial in origin, have a crystal and liquid form, mutate life around them, have a high energy output, used to make weapondry, and are highly toxic. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Dune’s spice was an inspiration for tiberium as Westwood Studios made a Dune game prior to making C&C 95.

I would like to point out that its possible that phazon may still exist. I mean if one phazon planet exists why can't more exsist from successful leviathan seed implants.

Finally a Metroid video. Welcome back.

Maybe a hot take, but I really hope that Phazon won't come back in L Prime 4. Phazon had a great ending to its story in Prime 3. Maybe the aftermath of the Phazon crisis can still play into Prime 4, but it should be done for good.

You can hear Pon’s smile while narrating

now i want some phazon goop

Babe wake up. New Orpheon vid dropped

Can I have some Phazon Goop? I need boost in strength.

Phazon tastes like blueberry razz

Look Gary, there I am!

I'm surprised that you made no comment on how it's similar to the book "the color of space"

It's an organism? A colony?

i need it asap

I wonder how phazon can return the planet its destroy but the small trailer of metroid prime 4 show a galaxie nebula made of blue phazone 🤔

Phazon is a delicious candy. (if you know you know)

Hey it's Pawn

Still waiting on the Metroid Prime 4 trailer reaction video... (Ik it's been barely an hour when they showed it)

I miss Crocomire!

It’s my favorite energy drink

The question is it natural or caused by some origion artificial maybe by a secret chozo faction or some ancient race and how did they make it bird magic whit radiation and some thing else was it a way of controlling the metroids or to mutate it and the red one is it just is it made whit extra bird magic spice and goo sorcery whit radiation and something else we'll never know

Analogy for cancer

Dune is very influential.

e

i really hope Phazon returns

WAKE UP

I feel like it's just regular meth.

Fun fact a lot of name and character based on Islamic Arab in the book

Phazon is mutated cancer Aeion.

FIRST!!!

Heartache but I never like dark samus the concept of dark country but specification Nintendo tinder game become very repetitive Metroid did it twice you ask me I I wish they'd make it a whole unique character than Justin evil come to parts for samus add Metroid fusion did it better weather SA-X

Miyamoto needs to retire and focus on them parks and movies. His legacy will always be remembered but I feel like he is just holding back many games for being stubborn about what he thinks is fun.
