you should read up on Rye Wolfs or better by their actual name Roggenwolf we germans have some strange creatures in our mythology (and horrible nightmarefuelisch) Basicaly it snacks on Children (and sometimes people) and trapping their spirits in the branches of trees. Making the sound the wind makes when it breezes through a tree the screams of the souls trapped there untill the fields are harvested and the Roggenwolf got an offering. The movement of Rye fields or fields in general by the wind is said to be the Roggenwolf moving in it
The “call of the void” thing is very interesting. I’ve had this feeling several times while using saws. I get the sudden urge to stick my hand into the blade.
They're called intrusive thoughts, and lately mine are mostly ramming other cars on the highway. At least they're not suicidal anymore, so I ain't complaining.
I was really glad to hear this point in the video. I'm not shy about discussing my mental health issues, but one way or another this never came up. It's reassuring to know that it's common and actually a sign of being well-adjusted. I think there's a difference with 'intrusive thoughts' though. They're a step up I'd say. Obviously it's a sliding scale of greys between the two, with no clearly-defined point where one becomes the other, but I'd loosely define 'call of the void' as a passing thought of doing something self-harmful which is immediately dismissed as dangerous and stupid, whereas 'intrusive thoughts' are more recurrent, persistent, and potentially persuasive. Just my take on the matter though.
my experience on this "Call of the void" thingy , is that when everytime im riding a vehicle i suddenly had the urge to jump out , well i can control it somehow
You know I've always wondered how many people died while figuring out that this or that food is safe when cooked in this very specific way but deadly any other way.
"You know this thing is hitting cities. Why would you go to New Jersey?" I mean, the question of "Why would you go to New Jersey?" is valid with or without the apocalypse happening
16:40 As someone who also lives in a highly pollinated area but who isn't allergic, there could be a theory to some people being immune or unresponsive to the neurotoxin
Considering this is sort of a tree ‘pesticide’ that would make sense. It’s the age old arms race. Try to take out the ‘pest’, the immune ones regroup and repopulate. Keep going for years and years, getting more and more potent and resistant the whole time.
Meanwhile, my allergy to grasses has turned me asthmatic. Probably lots of cross-allergies as well. I don’t even need contrived neurotoxins to choke. T.T
"Neurotoxins are man-made, there's no natural neurotoxins." Cone snails, with the deadliest cocktail of neurotoxins and painkillers that gets chemically randomized every day to ensure nothing builds a resistance to it: Am I a joke to you?
I also found the scene with the soldier trying not to shoot himself very interesting. He repeats "My firearm is my friend, it will not leave my side." As if he is trying to tell himself not to take it out of its holster.
It could also be a way to reassure himself, he's probably in a panicked state. He repeats it when he's addressed by the others. Like "It's okay. I'll be okay. My firearm is my friend and won't leave. But I won't use it. I'll be okay-"
@rd2680 let me hear you say that when someone breaks into your house. Cops are human and can feel panic just as much as any other person. They don't even get paid as much as they should dispite risking their life's.
I work in a marine ecology lab and one of my favorite movies is The Meg, and I like Girl With All the Gifts for the symbiosis aspect (I had to take a marine symbiosis seminar in grad school taught by my master's thesis adviser).
Lol but at least you know it's embarrassing. It's okay to love whatever movies you love my friend! That's what they're there for. But as long as you understand that that is an objectively terrible movie 🤣 nothing wrong with that one terrible movie you can't help but love, I think we all have those.
You know what I love the most about Roanoke? Even though he's forced to censor his words, he does it in such an eloquent manner it doesn't break immersion in his videos.
My favorite thing about this movie is during the classroom scene Markie Mark tells one of the students “because you have a perfect face” and you can see one of the back ground actresses make a face like “what the fuck” and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t scripted.
I remember watching this movie in the theater and right when the scene with the construction workers falling to their deaths I blurted out it’s raining men, the entire packed audience laughed for about four seconds it was so funny
Tbh, the symbolism of masses of people moonwalking in a park before commiting self death is pretty haunting. It just feels like Shamalayn got that idea and tried to write a movie over the course of a day fron scratch based on that scene.
In a review he said he was going for a more like, spiritual bent. But it sort of straddles the line between supernatural and science fiction and doesn't end up working too well. I feel like if he stuck to one of those it might flow better.
@@jbear3478In some films he seems to get more focused on the message than the content (Lady in the Water-) or he gets too focused on part of the story instead of the whole (the genuinely creepy scenes in here for instance). I feel like he could use someone to help like…rein him in. Like “okay how about we try this instead”
"Likely over 50% of the population have this...." so wait, the void doesn't call to everyone? Because boy oh boy does it call to me often. The realization that even the most simplest things can destroy the life you built is always there, nagging at you, tempting you.
It could be that while the plants where trying to make the toxin for the humans, they wiped out the bees. Or humans wiped the bees out and the toxin is what happens when bee pheromones aren't being absorbed by the plants.

This movie is actually really creepy when you think about not being able to see chemicals in the air around yourself. I think marky mark was a miss cast, he’s a comical guy can’t be helped but feel it hurt the overall tone forsure. Aside from that the movie perfectly shows how the we have little idea what lengths the earth wil go to shrug us off.
The way people act under the neurotoxin is genuinely creepy. But the interactions between the unaffected main cast tend to be really weirdly...pardon the pun but wooden. Like, the soldier having a nervous breakdown? He sounds like he's having a nervous breakdown. The old woman? Phenomenal. But the main cast is just so awkward. "We can't just sit here as uninvolved observers!" who says this?

Yea I'm in construction 19 years now and have never actually done anything but stand around talking. Nobody else does anything neither. Like I have often wondered how anything gets built but I don't get payed enough to use my brain.
So, I once had the opportunity to dissect a brain. I wasn't prepared for how gooey it was. It's always portrayed as squishy, but still firm enough to hold. It is really more like sludge. Would have been nice to know, professor
People complain about the weird acting in this film but if in reality all the trees start producing suicide gas I don’t think I’ll act normally or rationally.
Tbh, that's something that does work for the movie in terms of overall acting when it would otherwise be inexcusable. You can just hand wave it as them being at low levels of the neurotoxin.
FunFact: There's a Polish movie like The Happening(Drzewa), but the roles are reversed. The Humans start to destroy the trees because they think the plants want to kill them.
I love the logic of the characters in this movie. "Oh no plants have become sapient and are killing people en masse! What should I do? Oh i know! I'm gonna leave this big city where there's just a few plants and go hang out in a forest!"

I’m a realtor and totally agree with your statement about housing prices. How about a video on realtor morphology and how it leads to widespread alcoholism.
Dealing with this so called 'sellers' market in my town. Houses not worth crap are being sold for half a million. (No really that is the cheapest house on the market right NOW.) I've seen rent at 1750 for a room in a dorm. So it's such bull crap. Then on top of that the bull crap being pulled by the town where they are not allowing low income housing to be built. Even though EVERY. SINGLE. BUSINESS. IS. HIRING. not a joke. Everywhere. The hotels have started to allow its workers to stay 'for free' and more places are offering 15+ an hour. Yeah. It's terrible. But honestly. I'm gonna be laughing my way as these idiots just drive out everyone. Then a ton of businesses are gonna shut down. Then they are going to be s.o.l.
@DakotaofRaptors Right now a 100 square foot room is 1065 dollars a month. I live in a tourist town in Utah. Everything housing related is basically inflated three times over. One night rentals are a fairly big factor in making people not have homes.
I saw this film when I was really young and when I say it traumatised me- it traumatised me. For years I was paranoid that one day a suicide apocalypse would come, and I would often watch the trees and the leaves blow in the wind, awaiting doom. It's hilarious now when I think about it, but as a result this film still haunts the back of my mind.
Interesting that we even see these ideas in movies, games books etc. it’s like our minds are coming up with these crazy worst case scenarios to help us anticipate this stuff happening in the real world.
@@Skarwind nah i think no other director would have actually even thought about something like this like Shymalan did. The guy is a pretty good scientific communicator and we can't blame it when we don't get some of the ideas portrayed.
@@observeoutofthebox7806 I knew it. 😂 Whenever people make the comment “I wish this had a better director” i can instantly tell that Shyamalan directed it.

One of the best theories on why plants respond to I guess you can call it 'affection'. Is when humans do it, a lot of evidence shows our stress hormones drop to low levels, or at least lower than average levels. Its believed that plants or at least some plants evolved to detected or smell this hormone, so it can better react to animals or stressors in the environment, that is stressing the animal. So when 'affection' is shown the human is experiencing less stress and so the plant does too. This encourages growth and health in the plant.
I always just figured that if you’re the type to show attention and affection to your plants you’re probably a better plant owner than the average person. The attention may help as well, but the person to talk to their plants is probably the one who waters them properly and handles them well.
when i was younger (8th grade if i remember correctly) and watched this for the first time, i understood what they ment by neurotoxin but didnt realize it wasnt effecting everyone. i straight up thought the reason mark and his group were acting so off was cause of the neurotoxin and i thought they were just immune to the killing aspect of it. now i know it was just terrible acting/directing/lines or whatever the reason the actors did what they did.
@@RoanokeGaming strong mood. I've stopped watching the news of any corporate stations since they are only stating opinions, making things seem worse then they are for views, or make things seen not as bad as they really are for their political base.

@@dragonmaster613 yea if you look at both movies back to back with the concept of the happening being supernatural they end up being extremely similar in a lot of places.

The call of the void thing was really interesting to me, I am glad it's quite normal I have that and I thought for ages I was going nuts or something lol. Thank you for that information. It's strange but reassuring to know it's a normal brain function. Well normal for the human brain. Some call it the human self destruct system but your explanation makes more sense, it's your brain saying you do this, this will happen so don't! The human mind and brain are such amazing and interesting things. Sadly this film was not lol. interesting concept but what the hell happened with this film? lol.
Citation needed on "neural toxins do not exist naturally". There are numerous substances created and used by other organisms that are categorized as neurotoxic.
Yep. Animals & plants both produce various types. Ricin is from a plant. tetrodotoxin is from an animal. Cassava, hemlock, snake venom, cone snails, scorpions, black widows, literally every animal that can kill a human with venom & plant with poison is usually because it’s a neurotoxin.
I would argue "Call of the Void" is probably associated with our internal 'error correction/detection' system. Its creating an impulse to directly teach the brain to actively ignore and avoid said impulse - adding to the ECD library. Given your personal experience, after some time the issue would wax away becoming a background function and improving your overall effectiveness of not falling - but once its no longer useful, it gets cleared out for new rules and it needs to reteach itself that impulse to improve the likelihood you won't fall off a building when the need arises again.
I think the call of the void might be the free will part of our brain trying to feel like it isn’t beholden to the instinctive self preservation part of our brain. Just like how being told not to do something makes us want to do it more. Because every time I get those intrusive thoughts I’m always thinking about the fact that it’s my choice and no one can stop me.
Like the classic. Big red button says DO NOT PRESS. What is your first instinct? To press the button to see what it does...and then set of a self destruct sequence
>how being told not to do something makes you wanna do it that's not really self-preservation as much as your lizard brain at work lol. the intrusive thoughts are called morbid curiosity tho.
I feel like if this were to ever happen, Mongolia would be the safest since there are barely any forests there. (Cause the climate can’t support large amount of trees in the steppe due to it’s dry air and the fact trees probably couldn’t withstand the intense warmth of the Gobi desert or cold during the night time. Also the land isn’t fertile for larger forests.) Galápagos would be a good contender, just because it’s so isolated and the trees and foliage definitely wouldn’t have a need to evolve or mutate to survive in such a manner. (And it’s extremely protected by the wildlife and government, as well as the pollen from other trees to help mutate the native foliage into more dangerous organisms wouldn’t be able to even make it that far out into the sea.) If those aren’t an option, then Greenland or Iceland. Since it’s all snow and you can build shelters using different materials and feed yourself by fishing or hunting. Not to mention that just because one tree species evolved doesn’t mean a spruce tree or a jungle tree could too. It just wouldn’t need to
19:22 Plants can communicate, it's part of mycorrhiza where plants and fungi have a symbiotic relationship - the fungi have been shown to connect several plants giving the plants the ability to transfer chemicals between each other. It's been called the Internet of Plants.
I'm glad to find out that my brain isn't the only one to randomly throw out insane or suicidal urges for no reason. Though the fact that these usually only happen when aroused, scared, or angry does make me wonder just how the hell it's all connected?
Yeah, I used to think I was going mental back when I was a teenager and I had those thoughts popping in unannounced at random moments; and more recently I had grown to simply ignore them. Today I learned that's apparently a normal thing, and that I wasn't really going insane back in the days. Or maybe we're all crazy to some extent, thus making those stray thoughts literally "normal".
Well almost every medication has a side effect that says "may cause suicidal thoughts" which Is literally insane to me, like how? I suggest stop popping pills
I believe that these "chem-trails" are making me experience similar thought patterns as someone with bi-polar disorder. I have never been bi-polar, I'm sure that this is how it would feel...I have the same 3 triggers as you. Though, it could just be a coincidence...I highly doubt it. Somethings amiss...
Out of the whole movie, it was the soldier resiting his I guess his drills on pure instinct, it was fucking terrifying thinking about what was running through his head. Everyone else seemed to have a pretty instantaneous reaction without them realizing it, but he seemed almost a little scared, like he didn't know why he was saying that.
Two things that I loved during the summary of the story - Marky Mark can make solid out of wine (10:07), and is fan of PS2 game Headhunter (14:31) which is a forgotten "gem" just as much as Marky Mark himself.

Chess hasn't been updated in almost 200 years and it's obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank. I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like "Castling" and "En Passant" instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I've been complaining for YEARS about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The "clipping-thru-pieces" bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it. Don't support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.
I had a nightmare one of these days That plants were merging with humans and with cities and killing people directly Like Growing tentacles and pupetering humans to kill others, it was like this movie mixed with the thing

Wow, I caught this as soon as it came out! I have to say, as an aspiring microbiologist (I'm a college student studying for it) these videos are very entertaining and it's fun to think of these movie situations in a real-world sense. Thanks for the content!
It can't be the plants doing it...something else is affecting the humans. Here's why: In this video, the narrator said that "...plants, to a degree, are aware of animals." This is wrong. Plants have no idea we even exist. They only smell sweet; or, smell like rotting fruit; or, developed fruit due to "evolution." But, the whole concept of evolution is false, as well. Here's why (don't worry, I haven't forgotten about why it can't be the plants which are killing the humans, and how they are NOT aware of animals). 1. Evolution isn't plants/animals adapting to a certain stimulus. There's two different types of evolution. One of them is the "survival of the fittest" strategy; and, the other is the "Oops, I made a mistake!" strategy. The survival of the fittest strategy is what Charles Darwin saw happening on the Gallapagos Islands...but, he came to the WRONG conclusion. He saw finches grow larger beaks, and he ASSUMED they were growing larger beaks in order to eat the larger seeds. However, this was WRONG! The finches with the SLIGHTLY larger beaks were able to eat the SLIGHTLY larger seeds; so, they survived. The finches with the smaller beaks were unable to eat the larger seeds; therefore, when ALL of the finches ate the smaller seeds, the finches with the smaller beaks had nothing to eat...so, they died off. Meanwhile, the finches with the slightly larger beaks were able to procreate, and create babies with their slightly larger beaks. This is the survival of the fittest strategy. However, SOMETIMES a mistake would be made on the genetic level, and that mistake would cause one of those slightly larger beaked finches to be born with an even bigger beak...OR, it would be born with a smaller beak. If it was born with the smaller beak...it would most likely die. However, if it was born with an even larger beak...it would have access to even bigger seeds; therefore, it survived. This is the "Oops. I made a mistake!" strategy. Sometimes the mistakes were bad (making the beaks smaller); but, sometimes the mistakes were good (the bigger beaks). BUT, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE PLANTS? Well...EVERYTHING!!! 2. The plants which create sweet smells, fruits, and smells which smell like rotting fruit are plants which made a genetic mistake which just happens to benefit those plants. Because, in the beginning, there was only ONE type of plant. However, after that plant procreated for a while, a genetic mistake happened...then, another...and, another...and, another. Eventually, SO MANY genetic mistakes happened that the off-spring of that first plant became so differrent from its parent plants they were classified as a new species of plants. Eventually, plants reached places where animals and insects lived. And, over the hundred millions years (or so), the plant variations occured to the point that BILLIONS of different variaties of plants were created and destroyed. And, one of the types of plants which were created was the type which smelled like rotting fruit/rotting meat or smelled sweet...which insects just LOVED to pollenate. This gave that ONE plant a MAJOR advantage over the other plants around it...so, it survived. Then, other plants did the same thing, except they developed fruit...which animals just LOVED to eat and spread around. This gave that ONE plant a MAJOR advantage over the other plants around it...so, it survived. Then, even MORE genetic mistakes were made which created different fruits. BUT, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MOVIE BEING WRONG? Well...EVERYTHING!!! 3. Those genetic variations happened over MILLIONS of years...and, they happened to ONE PLANTS AT A TIME...NOT ONE PLANT SPECIES at a time...but, ONE PLANT at a time...just ONE PLANT! In the movie you see that "happening" happening EVERYWHERE! Meaning, it would have to be EVERY PLANT adapting to humans at once. NO!!! Not possible! 4. Also, it DEFINITELY wouldn't happen in Central Park. In this video, the narrator claimed the trees in Central Park would be receiving some sort of abuse from humans because they are being cut/trimmed. The problem I have with that is how well those humans are taking care of those trees and plants. If you want to see some creatures which are abusive to trees...look at the beaver! Then, look at the European Beetle. Then, look at bears using trees as scratching posts. Then, look at the lumberjacks tearing down forests. If ANYTHING like the "happening" would happen...it SHOULD have happened in the middle of a North American/Canadian forest...but, NOT in Central Park. That is all. I know it was long; but, I hope it was informative. EDIT: I forgot to mention the plants which "develope" poisons. It's the exact same thing as plants which attract animals and insects...except in the other direction. Instead of making a genetic mistake in order to ATTRACT something...the mistake makes the plant REPEL something. Then, the plant which developed a negative toxin/poison/needles/smell/taste remaiins un-eaten...therefore, it survives. For example: the tomato plant. Its long line of genetic mistakes have created fruit which attracts animals; but, at the same time, it created a toxin in the plant which tastes terrible AND can kill MOST animals/insects which try to eat it. Meanwhile, the grape vine has created delicious fruit AND leaves which are edible to MOST animals and insects.
Ooooooh you see, I always thought it was silly because, like, I get it shuts off your survival instincts as it says in the movie but that don’t explain people actively killing themselves, only that they wouldn’t avoid something deadly. But your call of the void explanation makes a lot of horrifying sense lol
When I first watched this movie as a kid, it freaked me the hell out, because I did think that it was entirely possible. It just made sense to me that plants were capable of this type of evolution, and it SCARED me. I didn't pay attention to the terrible script or over the top acting, just the concept of plants making me suicide and it was absolutely terrifying! And now, I feel so validated by all your research and scientific explanation lol. Great video!
Two ways I wish this movie could have gone: Totally ambigious, completely unexplained lovecraftian horror that leaves everyone weirded out, ala picnic at Hanging Rock. Or Evil plants attack humans. Triffids. The fact it decides to go for a half way house bs explanation without even fully commiting to it makes it even more crappy.
While I agree that the movie was a big let down, I did find your references to the "call of the void" very interesting as it is really common that people have these feelings, and can often lead them to thinking they are suicidal and not understanding why. This is something that likely should be covered in school (I'm thinking middle school), at least in my opinion, as that is known to be a great time of struggle for people. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
I made a Marky Mark joke on the community post and I choked when you did the same “Marky Mark, formerly part of the funky bunch” made me laugh harder than it should’ve
Have you heard the fan theory that the movies "Signs", "The Happening", and "After Earth" are all actually a trilogy? It's not exactly the plants that are making the neurotoxin, it's actually aliens making bioweapons to attack humans. ruclips.net/video/4c-VoJF9-5E/видео.html I personally like this theory since it makes a bit more sense than plants randomly developing a neurotoxin that makes humans go crazy and kill themselves.
regarding on plants and self protection, it is also the same with tobacco, the nicotine is supposed to be a defence mechanism and deter any potential "aggressors" from eating the tobacco plants. Which it does a great job of, but it hasn't factored in smoking lol. I think maybe you are talking about the defence mechanisms a bit too "humanlike" though. A biological defence mechanism (like bad taste, toxins, etc) isn't developed with this thinking like "here's this thing that keeps attacking me, I need to figure out how to protect myself against that" instead it is more like "Oh I have gotten this random mutation that makes me survive far better because I get eaten much less, so now I will be able to reproduce much more than others" it's not, like, a conscious effort, more like just something that happens and has beneficial effects as coincidence. It is similar with the fruit example for reproduction, plants did not think "oh I should start growing fruit so that my seeds get eaten by animals which will result in my offspring getting better chances to survive and grow to adulthood" because plants do not think. Instead the fruits started to develop by chance and they just so happened to improve the plants ability to reproduce so fruit producing plants had an edge over non-fruit producing plants when they relied on animal ingestion of their seeds, and slowly over time non-fruit producing plants went extinct. Biological defence mechanisms happen through evolution, and evolution does not actively pursue any sort of plan or intent.
For a movie that seems to emphasize how humans should be more humble and consider how they're actions are detrimental to organisms we don't often confuse, it's pretty human obsessed. Plants interact way more (and this would presumably be more "worried" about) other plants, soil fauna, and fungi for example. A tree or grass can easily have interactions with another plant that are constant from the moment their seeds hit the ground. Even the idea the trees are protecting themselves is based on the conceit things humans take as negative would also apply the same to plants. Plants are constantly battling with each other and their surroundings, sending toxins through soil, or having adaptations to shade out or steal resources from others. All that matters is the increase in frequency of particular genes in an area, nothing else is selected for. It's why plenty of animals and plants die after reproducing once. If survival mattered directly, this would not happen. Survival just happens to be a way to increase gene frequency, but it's not the only one by a long shot. Roanoke, I know you often use terms where you talk about things adapting to environs and the like as short hand, but this time I think you forgot that nothing adapts, they just manage to pass on genes because they didn't happen to be prevented from doing so, typically by death. Nothing adapts, evolutions is just what is left.

They're called intrusive thoughts, and lately mine are mostly ramming other cars on the highway.
At least they're not suicidal anymore, so I ain't complaining.
I was really glad to hear this point in the video. I'm not shy about discussing my mental health issues, but one way or another this never came up. It's reassuring to know that it's common and actually a sign of being well-adjusted.
I think there's a difference with 'intrusive thoughts' though. They're a step up I'd say. Obviously it's a sliding scale of greys between the two, with no clearly-defined point where one becomes the other, but I'd loosely define 'call of the void' as a passing thought of doing something self-harmful which is immediately dismissed as dangerous and stupid, whereas 'intrusive thoughts' are more recurrent, persistent, and potentially persuasive. Just my take on the matter though.
my experience on this "Call of the void" thingy , is that when everytime im riding a vehicle i suddenly had the urge to jump out , well i can control it somehow
I get this daily. Fortunately I can't be bothered to get up to do it.

Humans, in literally every situation: "Is that a fucking challenge?"
16:40 As someone who also lives in a highly pollinated area but who isn't allergic, there could be a theory to some people being immune or unresponsive to the neurotoxin
Considering this is sort of a tree ‘pesticide’ that would make sense. It’s the age old arms race. Try to take out the ‘pest’, the immune ones regroup and repopulate. Keep going for years and years, getting more and more potent and resistant the whole time.
Meanwhile, my allergy to grasses has turned me asthmatic. Probably lots of cross-allergies as well. I don’t even need contrived neurotoxins to choke. T.T
And what about people who are already depressed or suicidal? Would it absolutely work, or would it actually have no effect?

I also found the scene with the soldier trying not to shoot himself very interesting.
He repeats "My firearm is my friend, it will not leave my side." As if he is trying to tell himself not to take it out of its holster.
It could also be a way to reassure himself, he's probably in a panicked state. He repeats it when he's addressed by the others. Like "It's okay. I'll be okay. My firearm is my friend and won't leave. But I won't use it. I'll be okay-"

In a review he said he was going for a more like, spiritual bent. But it sort of straddles the line between supernatural and science fiction and doesn't end up working too well. I feel like if he stuck to one of those it might flow better.

This movie is actually really creepy when you think about not being able to see chemicals in the air around yourself. I think marky mark was a miss cast, he’s a comical guy can’t be helped but feel it hurt the overall tone forsure. Aside from that the movie perfectly shows how the we have little idea what lengths the earth wil go to shrug us off.
The way people act under the neurotoxin is genuinely creepy. But the interactions between the unaffected main cast tend to be really weirdly...pardon the pun but
wooden.
Like, the soldier having a nervous breakdown? He sounds like he's having a nervous breakdown. The old woman? Phenomenal.
But the main cast is just so awkward. "We can't just sit here as uninvolved observers!" who says this?
I’m gonna say this, and I hope you see it. Your content is some of the most refreshing videos I’ve seen on RUclips in YEARS. Everything from your humor, deliveries, information, and even video summaries, is all very fresh and exciting, to the point where even The Happening is worth hearing about.

I saw this film when I was really young and when I say it traumatised me- it traumatised me.

One of the best theories on why plants respond to I guess you can call it 'affection'. Is when humans do it, a lot of evidence shows our stress hormones drop to low levels, or at least lower than average levels. Its believed that plants or at least some plants evolved to detected or smell this hormone, so it can better react to animals or stressors in the environment, that is stressing the animal. So when 'affection' is shown the human is experiencing less stress and so the plant does too. This encourages growth and health in the plant.
I always just figured that if you’re the type to show attention and affection to your plants you’re probably a better plant owner than the average person. The attention may help as well, but the person to talk to their plants is probably the one who waters them properly and handles them well.
"Marky-Mark, formally a part of The Funky Bunch" I lost my shit
when i was younger (8th grade if i remember correctly) and watched this for the first time, i understood what they ment by neurotoxin but didnt realize it wasnt effecting everyone. i straight up thought the reason mark and his group were acting so off was cause of the neurotoxin and i thought they were just immune to the killing aspect of it. now i know it was just terrible acting/directing/lines or whatever the reason the actors did what they did.
its because of this i thought the movie was really good "wow these guys are acting just like someone exposed to some kind of drug really well"

When I was a teenager those "call of the void" urges were frequent and strong enough to make me not want to be anywhere near knives.

Citation needed on "neural toxins do not exist naturally". There are numerous substances created and used by other organisms that are categorized as neurotoxic.
Yep. Animals & plants both produce various types. Ricin is from a plant. tetrodotoxin is from an animal. Cassava, hemlock, snake venom, cone snails, scorpions, black widows, literally every animal that can kill a human with venom & plant with poison is usually because it’s a neurotoxin.

I would argue "Call of the Void" is probably associated with our internal 'error correction/detection' system. Its creating an impulse to directly teach the brain to actively ignore and avoid said impulse - adding to the ECD library. Given your personal experience, after some time the issue would wax away becoming a background function and improving your overall effectiveness of not falling - but once its no longer useful, it gets cleared out for new rules and it needs to reteach itself that impulse to improve the likelihood you won't fall off a building when the need arises again.
It's a demonic influence. Tell yourself whatever you want, but demons are real and they aren't friendly.

I think the call of the void might be the free will part of our brain trying to feel like it isn’t beholden to the instinctive self preservation part of our brain. Just like how being told not to do something makes us want to do it more. Because every time I get those intrusive thoughts I’m always thinking about the fact that it’s my choice and no one can stop me.
Like the classic. Big red button says DO NOT PRESS. What is your first instinct? To press the button to see what it does...and then set of a self destruct sequence

This was the most unintentionally hilarious movie ever created...
I feel like if this were to ever happen, Mongolia would be the safest since there are barely any forests there. (Cause the climate can’t support large amount of trees in the steppe due to it’s dry air and the fact trees probably couldn’t withstand the intense warmth of the Gobi desert or cold during the night time. Also the land isn’t fertile for larger forests.)
Galápagos would be a good contender, just because it’s so isolated and the trees and foliage definitely wouldn’t have a need to evolve or mutate to survive in such a manner. (And it’s extremely protected by the wildlife and government, as well as the pollen from other trees to help mutate the native foliage into more dangerous organisms wouldn’t be able to even make it that far out into the sea.)
If those aren’t an option, then Greenland or Iceland. Since it’s all snow and you can build shelters using different materials and feed yourself by fishing or hunting.
Not to mention that just because one tree species evolved doesn’t mean a spruce tree or a jungle tree could too. It just wouldn’t need to

April fool's I know I'm a day late sue me lol
The lawnmower kill is the best kill I’ve ever seen in any form of media ever
Fear Street bread slicer kill.
I don't necessarily have a fear of heights, but I am very afraid of ledges. I always think/feel like I'll tip over and fall and that's it
Chess hasn't been updated in almost 200 years and it's obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.
I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like "Castling" and "En Passant" instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I've been complaining for YEARS about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The "clipping-thru-pieces" bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.
Don't support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.

I had a nightmare one of these days
That plants were merging with humans and with cities and killing people directly
Like
Growing tentacles and pupetering humans to kill others, it was like this movie mixed with the thing
Nature reclaiming the world, with a twist. Sounds interesting
This could be a movie or at least a interesting video I had a dream that my pastor was shooting at me with chocolate scarecrows that were rock solids and he changed the whole world into scarecrow chocolate things eventually I built a resistance with my friends and we melted all of it to the ground that was probably one of the weirdest dreams I've ever had and I had it about a week ago
I wanna watch that movie
11:45 - I just love the fact that even with their gas masks on those granny's still have the classic bowl of Butterscotch Candies in the middle of them with their tea and one's even knitting!!! Classic!
Wow, I caught this as soon as it came out! I have to say, as an aspiring microbiologist (I'm a college student studying for it) these videos are very entertaining and it's fun to think of these movie situations in a real-world sense.
Thanks for the content!
It can't be the plants doing it...something else is affecting the humans. Here's why:
In this video, the narrator said that "...plants, to a degree, are aware of animals." This is wrong. Plants have no idea we even exist. They only smell sweet; or, smell like rotting fruit; or, developed fruit due to "evolution." But, the whole concept of evolution is false, as well. Here's why (don't worry, I haven't forgotten about why it can't be the plants which are killing the humans, and how they are NOT aware of animals).
1. Evolution isn't plants/animals adapting to a certain stimulus. There's two different types of evolution. One of them is the "survival of the fittest" strategy; and, the other is the "Oops, I made a mistake!" strategy. The survival of the fittest strategy is what Charles Darwin saw happening on the Gallapagos Islands...but, he came to the WRONG conclusion. He saw finches grow larger beaks, and he ASSUMED they were growing larger beaks in order to eat the larger seeds. However, this was WRONG! The finches with the SLIGHTLY larger beaks were able to eat the SLIGHTLY larger seeds; so, they survived. The finches with the smaller beaks were unable to eat the larger seeds; therefore, when ALL of the finches ate the smaller seeds, the finches with the smaller beaks had nothing to eat...so, they died off. Meanwhile, the finches with the slightly larger beaks were able to procreate, and create babies with their slightly larger beaks. This is the survival of the fittest strategy. However, SOMETIMES a mistake would be made on the genetic level, and that mistake would cause one of those slightly larger beaked finches to be born with an even bigger beak...OR, it would be born with a smaller beak. If it was born with the smaller beak...it would most likely die. However, if it was born with an even larger beak...it would have access to even bigger seeds; therefore, it survived. This is the "Oops. I made a mistake!" strategy. Sometimes the mistakes were bad (making the beaks smaller); but, sometimes the mistakes were good (the bigger beaks). BUT, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE PLANTS? Well...EVERYTHING!!!
2. The plants which create sweet smells, fruits, and smells which smell like rotting fruit are plants which made a genetic mistake which just happens to benefit those plants. Because, in the beginning, there was only ONE type of plant. However, after that plant procreated for a while, a genetic mistake happened...then, another...and, another...and, another. Eventually, SO MANY genetic mistakes happened that the off-spring of that first plant became so differrent from its parent plants they were classified as a new species of plants. Eventually, plants reached places where animals and insects lived. And, over the hundred millions years (or so), the plant variations occured to the point that BILLIONS of different variaties of plants were created and destroyed. And, one of the types of plants which were created was the type which smelled like rotting fruit/rotting meat or smelled sweet...which insects just LOVED to pollenate. This gave that ONE plant a MAJOR advantage over the other plants around it...so, it survived. Then, other plants did the same thing, except they developed fruit...which animals just LOVED to eat and spread around. This gave that ONE plant a MAJOR advantage over the other plants around it...so, it survived. Then, even MORE genetic mistakes were made which created different fruits. BUT, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MOVIE BEING WRONG? Well...EVERYTHING!!!
3. Those genetic variations happened over MILLIONS of years...and, they happened to ONE PLANTS AT A TIME...NOT ONE PLANT SPECIES at a time...but, ONE PLANT at a time...just ONE PLANT! In the movie you see that "happening" happening EVERYWHERE! Meaning, it would have to be EVERY PLANT adapting to humans at once. NO!!! Not possible!
4. Also, it DEFINITELY wouldn't happen in Central Park. In this video, the narrator claimed the trees in Central Park would be receiving some sort of abuse from humans because they are being cut/trimmed. The problem I have with that is how well those humans are taking care of those trees and plants. If you want to see some creatures which are abusive to trees...look at the beaver! Then, look at the European Beetle. Then, look at bears using trees as scratching posts. Then, look at the lumberjacks tearing down forests. If ANYTHING like the "happening" would happen...it SHOULD have happened in the middle of a North American/Canadian forest...but, NOT in Central Park.
That is all. I know it was long; but, I hope it was informative.
EDIT: I forgot to mention the plants which "develope" poisons. It's the exact same thing as plants which attract animals and insects...except in the other direction. Instead of making a genetic mistake in order to ATTRACT something...the mistake makes the plant REPEL something. Then, the plant which developed a negative toxin/poison/needles/smell/taste remaiins un-eaten...therefore, it survives. For example: the tomato plant. Its long line of genetic mistakes have created fruit which attracts animals; but, at the same time, it created a toxin in the plant which tastes terrible AND can kill MOST animals/insects which try to eat it. Meanwhile, the grape vine has created delicious fruit AND leaves which are edible to MOST animals and insects.
This reminds me that I don’t have any type of allergy 👌 my friends are all jealous
Roanoke if you need to take some time off RUclips thanks to this movie will understand. Your a brave man for watching this
I keep making jokes through real pain lmao
Ooooooh you see, I always thought it was silly because, like, I get it shuts off your survival instincts as it says in the movie but that don’t explain people actively killing themselves, only that they wouldn’t avoid something deadly. But your call of the void explanation makes a lot of horrifying sense lol
When I first watched this movie as a kid, it freaked me the hell out, because I did think that it was entirely possible. It just made sense to me that plants were capable of this type of evolution, and it SCARED me. I didn't pay attention to the terrible script or over the top acting, just the concept of plants making me suicide and it was absolutely terrifying! And now, I feel so validated by all your research and scientific explanation lol. Great video!
Two ways I wish this movie could have gone:
Totally ambigious, completely unexplained lovecraftian horror that leaves everyone weirded out, ala picnic at Hanging Rock.
Or
Evil plants attack humans. Triffids.
The fact it decides to go for a half way house bs explanation without even fully commiting to it makes it even more crappy.
While I agree that the movie was a big let down, I did find your references to the "call of the void" very interesting as it is really common that people have these feelings, and can often lead them to thinking they are suicidal and not understanding why. This is something that likely should be covered in school (I'm thinking middle school), at least in my opinion, as that is known to be a great time of struggle for people. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
I made a Marky Mark joke on the community post and I choked when you did the same
“Marky Mark, formerly part of the funky bunch” made me laugh harder than it should’ve
My favorite part of this breakdown is you pointing out that the plants spare the good good doggies ❤️
it’s always cool when he points out how animals are unaffected
“Never seen wind like this except for a tornado”, that’s a calm day in the Midwest
Can confirm
Have you heard the fan theory that the movies "Signs", "The Happening", and "After Earth" are all actually a trilogy? It's not exactly the plants that are making the neurotoxin, it's actually aliens making bioweapons to attack humans.
ruclips.net/video/4c-VoJF9-5E/видео.html
I personally like this theory since it makes a bit more sense than plants randomly developing a neurotoxin that makes humans go crazy and kill themselves.
Nobody is gonna talk about how the town welcome sign says "You Deserve This!"
"When you're handed a baby and go "Yo! I could totally spike this thing into the ground." That made me spill my coffee lol
Call of the void, so this is why i think of yeeting hot coffee into peoples faces at work
Oh that's sadism.
When I saw this movie I just thought that the plants were taking out the humans who don't actually care about the planet
regarding on plants and self protection, it is also the same with tobacco, the nicotine is supposed to be a defence mechanism and deter any potential "aggressors" from eating the tobacco plants. Which it does a great job of, but it hasn't factored in smoking lol.
I think maybe you are talking about the defence mechanisms a bit too "humanlike" though. A biological defence mechanism (like bad taste, toxins, etc) isn't developed with this thinking like "here's this thing that keeps attacking me, I need to figure out how to protect myself against that" instead it is more like "Oh I have gotten this random mutation that makes me survive far better because I get eaten much less, so now I will be able to reproduce much more than others" it's not, like, a conscious effort, more like just something that happens and has beneficial effects as coincidence. It is similar with the fruit example for reproduction, plants did not think "oh I should start growing fruit so that my seeds get eaten by animals which will result in my offspring getting better chances to survive and grow to adulthood" because plants do not think. Instead the fruits started to develop by chance and they just so happened to improve the plants ability to reproduce so fruit producing plants had an edge over non-fruit producing plants when they relied on animal ingestion of their seeds, and slowly over time non-fruit producing plants went extinct. Biological defence mechanisms happen through evolution, and evolution does not actively pursue any sort of plan or intent.
For a movie that seems to emphasize how humans should be more humble and consider how they're actions are detrimental to organisms we don't often confuse, it's pretty human obsessed. Plants interact way more (and this would presumably be more "worried" about) other plants, soil fauna, and fungi for example. A tree or grass can easily have interactions with another plant that are constant from the moment their seeds hit the ground.
Even the idea the trees are protecting themselves is based on the conceit things humans take as negative would also apply the same to plants. Plants are constantly battling with each other and their surroundings, sending toxins through soil, or having adaptations to shade out or steal resources from others. All that matters is the increase in frequency of particular genes in an area, nothing else is selected for. It's why plenty of animals and plants die after reproducing once. If survival mattered directly, this would not happen. Survival just happens to be a way to increase gene frequency, but it's not the only one by a long shot.
Roanoke, I know you often use terms where you talk about things adapting to environs and the like as short hand, but this time I think you forgot that nothing adapts, they just manage to pass on genes because they didn't happen to be prevented from doing so, typically by death. Nothing adapts, evolutions is just what is left.
Hey! Not saying it is hysteria, it totally is a neurotoxin! Regarding the dancing hysteria however, doesn't seem to be "just dancing cause my friend is" when people somehow danced until they dropped dead according to the wiki
@Coke Weasel yup, ergot. Look up Albert Hofman for info on what it can be turned into.
I live in a very rural area of Texas with lots of tree around my home and at the moment I'm outside. " I have to be outside to get internet" , and this got me wondering about our place on this rock.
