      I don't think he was a troll. He was just literal. Imagine if you were stuck in cryo. Only to see that Cows, and Chickens evolved to be smarter then humans. I also think he was still butt hurt that his proud superior race is literally inferior to these species simply because they don't exist. You come from a superior race just to wake up and see that no one hardly heard of your species. I would be pissed. Also their senses were different from humans. One thing this video doesnt bring up. I think they were more literal of a species cause they could literally feel peoples emotions and see the history of items through energy. I think they were more direct because simply they lived in a society where it was hard to betray one another. I think that is another reason they were superior. They probably advanced because simply it was hard to betray one another leaving no choice but for their species to work together and cooperate together. They probably had less wars amongst each other leaving more time to advance. This lore is some what a head nod to Vulkans. In star trek, Vulkans were so emotional, they had far more deadlier wars then humans leaving them to result to logic far more sooner in their evolution. A Mind Meld could probably be the same as a Prothean reading your emotions and history.

    Found your Mass Effect videos tonight and have really enjoyed them. In regards to the hands of the alien species within Mass Effect having the three finger setup, I could never decide if this was how the Simpson creators used four fingers to save money per character/animation, or if BioWare thought it might look cool but then forgot one major thing... the guns.
    Now either the three fingered alien types have incredible strength, or BioWare just happened to create a massive flaw. The guns used by the aliens all seems to be designed around working for the human five digit hand. Even if you try to do a type of 'Vulcan' style hand, you'll see how difficult it would be to hold a gun, let alone account for recoil. So the three fingered hand species would probably have to have vice-like grip compared to a weaker human hand. But mostly I think its a design that BioWare never thought through. Mass Effect is my most favourite sci-fi series as well as gaming series, but you still have to admit the content has more holes than Swiss cheese at times.

    I like your deep dives but this has been more of a lore video. Nicely made and very succinct. A significant number of people I've seen on message boards only began to experience Mass Effect with the Legendary edition, they were too young to experience it the first time around and didn't get into the series mid-run. Short videos like these can be great introductions to things, I know I do it. A character, an event, a subject, all condensed into a concise little video. Great as always. I know it's a lot of work and not your format, but I've started falling in love with iceberg videos. Have you ever considered doing one?

      It wouldn't be DNA as we know it.
      Quad strands would, from a purely biochemical and physiological view, not really make any sense...
      But it's everyone's guess really until we uncover something with a vastly different biochemical structure, maybe in the deep of the oceans or on a distant moon in our solar system...

    It's actually not that unlikely that an intelligent alien species would have physical features similar to ours, due to convergent evolution being a thing. Most of our anatomy evolved the way it did for practical reasons. For example, early animals evolved sensory organs first, which where on the "front" of the creature where they were most useful, which is also where the mouth would be located. It then makes sense for the brain to develop close to those organs. Hence, it's not unlikely that aliens would have a head sporting a mouth and organs equivalent to eyes, ears and noses.
    As for walking upright, this helped us develop larger brains since the head rests on the spine rather than being held up by muscles in the neck. A technologically advanced species would also need limbs able to manipulate tools, and most likely they would have to be social creatures with some kind of language, and so on.
    They could still look very strange, at least superficially. But if we're talking about aliens with a society comparable to ours, they may very well need to have a roughly similar anatomical structure to our own because sapient intelligence doesn't just happen on its own.

  • @sulanis8444
    @sulanis8444 Год назад +1

    I think Intelligent life could take any form required to survive its environment or evolve over time to survive. Example: Life on earth evolved over millions of years to live specifically on this planet. Temperature, gravity, night, and day, water requirements, pressure, electromaticly aligned fields, oh and also evolving so we don't feel the rotation of the earth.
    I think its short cited and a little arrogant of humans to think that we life has to exist in the fashion that we know it. We've never left our solar system, or really taken a good look at other worlds yet with JWST to really know. (Note: we are now, just a slow process). We've also barely explored the bottom reaches of our own water world.
    Science on earth is evolving to discover new and exciting aspects of our universe, so who's to say that 10 to 50 years from now we won't discover life on another world? even if its just bacteria or Flora?

    The reapers never really made any sense to me in Mass Effect.
    The logic of mass genocide to avoid any possible conflict in the future is inherently paradoxical. But hey, you get to keep a version of the destroyed civilizations in a jar ie a reaper.
    Wait, what?

    • @nagger8216
      @nagger8216 Год назад +2

      Yeah the explanation for the Reapers fucking stupid. "Yo I heard you don't like being killed by synthetics, so we built some synthetics to kill you every 50k years, so you won't be killed by synthetics." Also killing one is the equivalent of making a species extinct since they're apparently giant smoothies made up of whatever species they decided to put into a blender, which you'd think they'd be smart enough to not risk that during a galactic invasion. I really wish they just went with their original concept that too many species were using dark matter as fuel, which led to stars dying way sooner than they should. So they built the relays and created the cycle to minimize the damage, and once the problem was solved they would reintroduce the harvested species into the galaxy. If you cut out the Star Brat and ignore the Leviathan DLC you can still have this as your headcanon, honestly. It's what I always do
