Yeah, but when does it stop being a parasite and start becoming a symbiote? They are not the same thing although the average layman constantly confuses the two.
Yeah. I can almost see the host and symbiote becoming like “partners in crime” if it can start living outside of their host most of the time as it matures. Kinda like having a dog that you can talk to telepathically.

Honestly, something that this movie does really well is the alien's motivations. Yes, it is a horror movie with the alien killing people, but it isn't the antagonist. It's actually more helpful than the aliens in LIFE or ALIEN, and that is so refreshing to see in a horror movie. It has an obvious way of feeding, and it's a brutal killer, but it never really is a danger to the protagonist. It just wants to live and keep its host alive as well; we can see that it reacts to the mental state of those around it, so it isn't necessarily evil. (besides the whole eating brains thing) One of the rare gems Roanoke has introduced me to.
I think you're using the wrong term here. The alien is definitely the antagonist, but it isn't the _villain._ An antagonist is a character in a story that is considered a threat to the main character, the protagonist. The antagonist is defined by their role in a story. A villain is defined by the motivation behind their actions. You can easily have a story where the protagonist is a villain and the antagonist a hero, like Invader Zim.
You can't really blame ALIEN though because it was the first movie to really to do what it did and do it well. LIFE was terrible though. Sputnik is definitely much more enjoyable by comparison.
Bears are honestly really soft as cubs. I know cuz for quite some time the county fair used to bring in animals for photos from a zoo. It's also how i got a chance to hold a baby tiger :D Them were good times
I really like how recently aliens are actually looking way more alien in science fiction, not just some humanoid with two arms two legs and different colored skin
To be honest if I was a host to an alien who actually takes care of my Biology, enhances my physical abilities, and if given enough time I could potentially develop a Psychic connection with it so I could give it's few Ground rolls to prevent it from attacking family and loved ones. I wouldn't complain.

i'm no doctor but for the underwater thing, there is sometime when a pearson is starting to have a loss of air in the brain (suffocating, or blood problems) putting them underwater (cold water) can save them because it make the heart slow and give the body time to react correctly to the problem, but for this movie i understood it was not a case of oxygen deprivation or else so idk) hope it help a little
You got most of the points. The oxygen depravity also kick starts a reset. The lower oxygen will give the claming effect more but at the chemical cell level as that further slows mitosis. 1 min isn't even that extreme its usually 2 minutes to pass out and closer to 5 before brain damage, though that point escalates quick to 530 is done. Keep in mind that is for the average person not something who trains thier body to handle lower oxygen. Keep in mind it was only 1847 that surgery started the idea of hand-wash between patients and was considered bad because it slowed the process of saving lives.
Wow I’m Russian and I’ve never heard about this movie, even though we don’t have that much sci-fi movies out there, especially even remotely watchable ones. But this one actually looks pretty great and even has some clever and original ideas. Thanks man!
The only other Russian sci fi movie I can think of is the two Attraction movies. The first fell victim to Fyodor Bondarchuk's typical style where he just stops giving a shit about 30 minutes into the movie, but the second was actually pretty decent, showing how an alien race wouldn't actually try to fight humanity head on, but instead turn us against each other with what basically amounts to a hyper advanced form of AI voice mimicry, and also demonstrates why the Russian military never throws anything away, because you never know when it's going to be useful. They probably still have muskets from the Crimean war sitting in storage somewhere just in case

It would be neat if roanoke covered the parasites from parasyte: the maxim. It's been a while since I watched it, but I feel it has a nice amount of body horror as well as some stuff about the parasites biology that might be fun to speculate about.
@@redlightu It's also one of those anime adaptation set in modern times, where the original manga was set a few decades before the internet existed. It was interesting that they managed to adapt it to a post-internet era. The only other time I've seen it done well was with Devilman: crybaby
at about 29:00 or so, I wouldn't really call those flaps of malleable skin around the head "wings." They're more like a cobra's hood. They're an extension of skin and tissue with muscles and what appears to be potentially some kind of support structure inside, and are likely used as a display mechanism or perhaps to support another developing organ. They're definitely not developed enough to be used for any kind of flight, so...wings is kind of a weird term to give it.

Hey Roanoke, I know it’s somewhat out of the areas you cover, but I’d love to see you cover the symbiotes from the Spider-Man mythos, either from the comics or the movies!
@@RoanokeGaming did you ever cover the mutants from the game RAGE. I recently played it And it weird. All i know is they are a goverment experiment, thay can further mutate And grow, And they can somehow make some sort of biomass on buildings. It would be cool to see it.
So, having this symbiot living inside of us is basically like having an alien doggo who you can communicate with telepathically and that gives you superpowers? Not gonna lie, sounds kinda rad to me!XD
Absolutely LOVE the ideas and design behind this alien, even more so than the one in LIFE to be honest. It has such a unique design and way of eating, what it does, its behavior, it's super cool. Like seeing a project of possible alien life if done by people who really, really did their best to explain and emulate it for real.
Well, if the planet it originated on didn't have a magnetosphere, would it be able to track other creatures by their electromagnetic patterns through air the way sharks can sense them in water?
Huh an actually helpful alien. Nice. Also just a suggestion but maybe the Zombieism in Minecraft would be interesting to cover? There’s 3 separate mobs that we see being infected and changed and one case of a cure so it would be interesting to see it covered I think.
I think a case could be made for the frills on the side of the creatures head being able to tune into the electrical impulse of the human brain, similar to how a hammerhead shark is able to locate its own prey.
@@tyrannicalxeno9850 I agree with you theory and if this is in the same universe I would enjoy to see more creatures that would have lived alongside these two
You got me laughing so hard while I was eating when you said "3 uga dogas and a long stick should suffice" almost had me choking. Sounds so scientific for caveman kind
Wouldn't the brain essentially be mostly protein? Why not the liver, though. Liver is a super food. Edit: monke brain says poke with stick. If stick no work, taste it.
Neural chemicals, brain glucose and nutrient dense. Well, I guess brains aren't such a bad idea of a food. Edit: in a fictional universe, not real life. Though squirrel brain stew isn't bad, honestly.
Just saw this film. It was both good Sci-fi and Horror. And it's always nice to see more Cosmonaut related material. Also it's interesting that the Yuri entity(what I call the alien, also as a nod to Yuri Gagarin), in a sense forms a bond like father and son with Veshnyakov. The part where it is transfixed for a time by the toy, is both sympathetic in a sense, as well incredibly eery.
It's weird it could only eat humans, maybe it needed to prey on the same species as its host since it used its host to help digest it? That would in my opinion, move this solidly into being parstie, at least for social creatures. Having to kill your own pack/tribe is a death sentence for them.
The rusian main Dr scientist guy who helps Tatyana see the whole feeding of prisoners to it thing, says that for fear and cortisol, humans are kings on this planet for releasing it.
The alien in this movie doesn’t eat meat, it feeds off a hormone released by the brain when feeling intense levels of stress (feeds off fear basically). Humans release this hormonal chemical (cortisol) far more intensely than any other animal on our planet because we are far more intelligent and have the ability to understand the potential horrors of an alien life form. It ignored other animals because they weren’t stressed out and scared enough when it approached them. The movie also implies that if you stand up to the alien without being afraid or threatening it, it may not kill you. It just wants to survive. If you’re not food or a threat it will likely leave you alone.
"Satellite" would be the most accurate, and also it's used as "lover" or "a fellow traveller". The logic being that it's some object that travels towards the same direction as you.
Sputnik means the one who travels with you "fellow traveler". later it became a synonym with the "satellite". After Russians named their satellite Sputnik.
My sister has a scar on her back like that from scoliosis. They had to insert a metal rod and her body ended up rejecting it so she ended up having to where a huge brace instead for a long time.
This movie is Awesome!! 🖤 Really wish they explored the origins of the creature, i do not know if in the ship it was the creature who breached the ship, or an adult form. 🤔
So, what I think it does in order to shrink its self is basically melt itself down into some kind of stem cell paste, and in this state it can pass through the hosts tissue freely without actually damaging the host tissue upon entry or exit similar to how a steroid hormone readily passes through a persons cellular wall and even briefly becomes a part of it. This also explains how it manages to avoid being digested, and would explain its ability to heal its host as it may either increase the production of stem cells, or much like Adam from the bioshock games return the cells to their stem cell state to heal the host which is certain far more energy efficient than increasing the hosts overall metabolism which can cause a lot of other issues. I theorize the reason it needs to go down the throat of the host is that it can't break through the outer layer of the skin because it can only morph through living tissue which the surface of your skin is distinctly not.
Maybe cover the evo's from Generator Rex? Everybody is infected with nanobots which can spontanious activate and mutate their host into monsterious monsters with varying powers
@@RoanokeGaming trust the first two seasons are great. Theres a bit of a decline after that but it's still a good show. It's very similar to Ben ten and they even have a cross over episode.
I grew up with Russian grandparents and a Russian mother, who spoke Russian all the time. Even though I KNOW how it sounds (sadly I'm not fluent), replicating those sounds myself is incredibly difficult. I can tell a Russian accent from a Ukraine one every time but ask me to pronounce anything outside the few words I regularly used (like the words for grandma/grandpa, yes/no, thank you, basic food items) and I'm as bad at it as the next person. The only difference is I know what it should sound like in my head as I'm butchering it.
I took leave while in the military once and just stayed in my apartment. I had stored up enough supplies to last me two weeks. I didn't speak for 9 days. Not a single word. Wasn't bad till I had a phone call on the last day and started trying to talk and my body didn't react the same way. I didn't go stir crazy though, so maybe I just enjoy my own company more?
Likely resistance to it. Take someone who over time isolates themeselves, it becomes easier. But with someone whos not used to it, its like dropping a frog into boiling water vs raising it 1 degree per hour until its boiling
A wide encompassing net lore wise. But the strigoi from the strain would be very fitting for this channel. Having physiology for vampires follow a more parasitic route with some supernatural spice.

I wonder if the symbiote is an essential part of its proper hosts life cycle? What if mature hosts cannot 'sleep' without a symbiote? In its proper host maybe a drop in the cortisol equivalent is just the host relaxing for rest and needs the symbiote to do the rest. The symbiote then leaves and hunts but it is also in a position to defend its host from predators and rival symbiotes, the neurological interaction would be useful for marking mates and offspring as invalid targets for aggression.
I love how much fun Roanoke seems to have when he explains all these horrific murder critters- it sounds like hes smiling♡ Best thing to draw to and I can't wait for the next vid, I binge this stuff all the time [Also might I suggest the Gore Magala and its Frenzy virus scales? It's a Wyvern from monster hunter with this weird... er... I dont know if it's a virus or something coming off it itself or some kind of symbiosis Not sure how much can be gathered from it but I'm sure you'd have some interesting stuff to say on it]
I know it's an old comment, but as a monster hunter artist I just couldn't ignore it, yes, gore magala does release a virus! Thought not much is known about how it comes to be, is it produced? Is it symbiosis? We're not sure

@@KaiserStormTracking there are countries that uses the metric system, and there’s a country that has landed on the moon. I think that’s a point for freedom units
Concerning why so many creatures go for the brain in media. I've heard that it's because originally, we thought what makes us human was located in the heart, so in media a lot, someone would die via getting shot in the heart. Later, when we learned more about the brain, the view of it making us human became more popular, and as a result, death by head trauma would happen more and more to the point it is now!
To be fair, with how this organism's jaw operates, it can just be that it is intelligent enough to know that's one of the points for it to do hefty damage. Once it did it once and saw it permanently incapacitated the organism it was attacking, that'd mean it'd recognize that point as a weak spot in the future for this prey. Going for the head I find is more a sign of intelligence, should said creature be doing it out of that and not because of something else
A note on the crash landing: The Soyuz capsule uses a retrorocket system right before impact to "cushion" the landing. If those don't go off it can cause a crash landing. The Soyuz 5 had a crewmember shatter his teeth from the impact after the retrorockets failed to go off.
The reminder how we could have at best been living in a nuclear wasteland today if not for a judgement call is...chilling to say the least. I might be an atheist but i think the fact that nuclear war never happened might be the best point in favor of a God that I can conceive of.

Damn, the symbiote is actually pretty cool. Wouldn't mind having something like that inside myself. Only issue is the feeding but I'm sure that whatever it eats could also be synthetically created in a way that makes it recognize it as food, after some research.
Yo Roanoke, my main mans! You should check out the fauna in The Outer Worlds! Their anatomy is pretty damn extensive (with loading screens literally being diagrams of different creatures anatomies).

Yes! This movie is so underrated! I stumbled upon it simi by accident, looking for new movies similar to alien. (if I remember correctly) and was not disappointed. I grabbed my friends and said we're having a movie party! I remember they enjoyed it about as much as I did. The best movies that are coming out recently definitely seem to be foreign. We (usa) need to take some notes and step up our quality. If they made a prequel or a sequel, I would be all over that!
Totally out of context but the story at 16:46 reminds me of some of the final missions in Metal Gear Solid PeaceWalker. Tho that game I think is set like mid 70’s so that doesn’t really line up with the real events. Still very interesting to know how close we were (also very scary lol)

I believe that she had held the boy underneath the water to try and assist with fighting PTSD head on. The boy may have had psychological issues with drowning or a fear for water... Taking this too far with a really bad method for therapy. This is why she had been dismissed for backing an old, inhumane method.
This made me think of a good idea for a video for you. Examine the various Typhon from Prey 2016. It would certainly be interesting to see your take on them.
4:11 She may have been trying to trigger the Mammalian Diving Reflex - the sensation of water and pressure on the face typically will slow your heart rate, calm you a bit, and I think even alter your circulation to keep blood in your core. Just an idea. Try it in the bathtub yourself! Though I recommend face-first, not laying back.
Only thing I can think of with regards to her...pretty much drowning a kid before this movie, is that the child might have been submerged in the midst of an ongoing seizure, then the most active ongoing pathway (presumably, the one responsible for the seizure) would have been drawing oxygen and glucose more rapidly than the rest of the brain, and the higher energy demands of the active site would cause starvation more rapidly, and a lesion would form on the area responsible. This is somewhat pseudo-scientific. By this time, our understanding on inducing lesions on the brain was much more complete, at least in the states, but even going back to 1940, more effective means of stopping seizures were known- most notably the severing of the corpus callosum. Lobotomies had already gone the way of the dinosaur here in the states, but I'm not aware of how advanced soviet neuroscience was at this point in time. Judging from the other doc's concerns of her attempting to take credit, and taking risks, its very possible she had intended to experiment on the child, in hopes of pioneering a new manner of treating seizures without surgical intervention via lesioning.
The reason the scientist wanted to deprive the kid of oxygen is that she was an Apple genius earlier in life and she thought turning the kid off and on again might help. Makes as much sense as any other theory.
Actually even though Venus has almost no magnetosphere, it does but it's weak assumed to be caused by the atmosphere itself, the massive amount of air will block even the worst cosmic rays as remember, Venus has 40 times more air than Earth, and most of that are compounds as well, not just raw elements.

I think you're using the wrong term here.

The antagonist is defined by their role in a story. A villain is defined by the motivation behind their actions. You can easily have a story where the protagonist is a villain and the antagonist a hero, like Invader Zim.
You can't really blame ALIEN though because it was the first movie to really to do what it did and do it well. LIFE was terrible though. Sputnik is definitely much more enjoyable by comparison.

i'm no doctor but for the underwater thing, there is sometime when a pearson is starting to have a loss of air in the brain (suffocating, or blood problems) putting them underwater (cold water) can save them because it make the heart slow and give the body time to react correctly to the problem, but for this movie i understood it was not a case of oxygen deprivation or else so idk)
hope it help a little
Maybe the woman was just a cold-hearted bitch who liked to hurt people and used "medical treatment" as a cover?
You got most of the points. The oxygen depravity also kick starts a reset. The lower oxygen will give the claming effect more but at the chemical cell level as that further slows mitosis. 1 min isn't even that extreme its usually 2 minutes to pass out and closer to 5 before brain damage, though that point escalates quick to 530 is done. Keep in mind that is for the average person not something who trains thier body to handle lower oxygen.
Keep in mind it was only 1847 that surgery started the idea of hand-wash between patients and was considered bad because it slowed the process of saving lives.
Wow I’m Russian and I’ve never heard about this movie, even though we don’t have that much sci-fi movies out there, especially even remotely watchable ones. But this one actually looks pretty great and even has some clever and original ideas.
Thanks man!
its alot better than whats been coming out of hollywood lately haha hope you enjoy the original viewing of it man!
The only other Russian sci fi movie I can think of is the two Attraction movies. The first fell victim to Fyodor Bondarchuk's typical style where he just stops giving a shit about 30 minutes into the movie, but the second was actually pretty decent, showing how an alien race wouldn't actually try to fight humanity head on, but instead turn us against each other with what basically amounts to a hyper advanced form of AI voice mimicry, and also demonstrates why the Russian military never throws anything away, because you never know when it's going to be useful. They probably still have muskets from the Crimean war sitting in storage somewhere just in case

at about 29:00 or so, I wouldn't really call those flaps of malleable skin around the head "wings." They're more like a cobra's hood.

Hey Roanoke, I know it’s somewhat out of the areas you cover, but I’d love to see you cover the symbiotes from the Spider-Man mythos, either from the comics or the movies!
I can check it out!
@@RoanokeGaming could you look at antivenom , he almost cured Spider-Man from being Spider-Man
@@RoanokeGaming did you ever cover the mutants from the game RAGE.
I recently played it And it weird.
All i know is they are a goverment experiment, thay can further mutate And grow, And they can somehow make some sort of biomass on buildings.
It would be cool to see it.
You should cover human insanity through hard mentality and how it actually spreads like a disease through society.
I have to make a request, can you, never again refer to it as the Spider-Man mythos, it gives me anxiety and I'm not sure why
So, having this symbiot living inside of us is basically like having an alien doggo who you can communicate with telepathically and that gives you superpowers?
Not gonna lie, sounds kinda rad to me!XD
Absolutely LOVE the ideas and design behind this alien, even more so than the one in LIFE to be honest. It has such a unique design and way of eating, what it does, its behavior, it's super cool.

Just saw this film. It was both good Sci-fi and Horror. And it's always nice to see more Cosmonaut related material. Also it's interesting that the Yuri entity(what I call the alien, also as a nod to Yuri Gagarin), in a sense forms a bond like father and son with Veshnyakov. The part where it is transfixed for a time by the toy, is both sympathetic in a sense, as well incredibly eery.
This movie is amazing and finally a scifi horror movie after awhile that is good. So glad you finally covered this
It's weird it could only eat humans, maybe it needed to prey on the same species as its host since it used its host to help digest it? That would in my opinion, move this solidly into being parstie, at least for social creatures. Having to kill your own pack/tribe is a death sentence for them.
The rusian main Dr scientist guy who helps Tatyana see the whole feeding of prisoners to it thing, says that for fear and cortisol, humans are kings on this planet for releasing it.
The alien in this movie doesn’t eat meat, it feeds off a hormone released by the brain when feeling intense levels of stress (feeds off fear basically). Humans release this hormonal chemical (cortisol) far more intensely than any other animal on our planet because we are far more intelligent and have the ability to understand the potential horrors of an alien life form.
It ignored other animals because they weren’t stressed out and scared enough when it approached them. The movie also implies that if you stand up to the alien without being afraid or threatening it, it may not kill you. It just wants to survive. If you’re not food or a threat it will likely leave you alone.
@@Nivomandasrail That counts for most animals on earth. If you leave it alone, it will leave you alone.
17:20 That's some real "the fleet that destroyed Reach was 50 times this size" energy
I love seeing Halo quotes.
Read that "sputnik" means "friend", alluding to the alien's symbiosis.
"Satellite" would be the most accurate, and also it's used as "lover" or "a fellow traveller". The logic being that it's some object that travels towards the same direction as you.
Sputnik means the one who travels with you "fellow traveler". later it became a synonym with the "satellite". After Russians named their satellite Sputnik.
My sister has a scar on her back like that from scoliosis. They had to insert a metal rod and her body ended up rejecting it so she ended up having to where a huge brace instead for a long time.
Honestly this movie is more tragedy than horror. It's pretty sad when you step back and look at all the events together.
This movie is Awesome!! 🖤
Really wish they explored the origins of the creature, i do not know if in the ship it was the creature who breached the ship, or an adult form.

I enjoyed it as well! And that would have been pretty nice ngl
So, what I think it does in order to shrink its self is basically melt itself down into some kind of stem cell paste, and in this state it can pass through the hosts tissue freely without actually damaging the host tissue upon entry or exit similar to how a steroid hormone readily passes through a persons cellular wall and even briefly becomes a part of it. This also explains how it manages to avoid being digested, and would explain its ability to heal its host as it may either increase the production of stem cells, or much like Adam from the bioshock games return the cells to their stem cell state to heal the host which is certain far more energy efficient than increasing the hosts overall metabolism which can cause a lot of other issues. I theorize the reason it needs to go down the throat of the host is that it can't break through the outer layer of the skin because it can only morph through living tissue which the surface of your skin is distinctly not.
Maybe cover the evo's from Generator Rex? Everybody is infected with nanobots which can spontanious activate and mutate their host into monsterious monsters with varying powers

Wait, hold up...
I grew up with Russian grandparents and a Russian mother, who spoke Russian all the time. Even though I KNOW how it sounds (sadly I'm not fluent), replicating those sounds myself is incredibly difficult. I can tell a Russian accent from a Ukraine one every time but ask me to pronounce anything outside the few words I regularly used (like the words for grandma/grandpa, yes/no, thank you, basic food items) and I'm as bad at it as the next person. The only difference is I know what it should sound like in my head as I'm butchering it.
So basically you're a Russian bostonian? Cause those MFs are speaking English and mispronouncing half of it.
I agree with you. Brains must be really tasty. Everything from zombies to monsters is trying to get a nibble.
Just a few gyris, how can I resist??
I took leave while in the military once and just stayed in my apartment. I had stored up enough supplies to last me two weeks. I didn't speak for 9 days. Not a single word.

I wonder if the symbiote is an essential part of its proper hosts life cycle? What if mature hosts cannot 'sleep' without a symbiote? In its proper host maybe a drop in the cortisol equivalent is just the host relaxing for rest and needs the symbiote to do the rest.
The symbiote then leaves and hunts but it is also in a position to defend its host from predators and rival symbiotes, the neurological interaction would be useful for marking mates and offspring as invalid targets for aggression.

Concerning why so many creatures go for the brain in media. I've heard that it's because originally, we thought what makes us human was located in the heart, so in media a lot, someone would die via getting shot in the heart. Later, when we learned more about the brain, the view of it making us human became more popular, and as a result, death by head trauma would happen more and more to the point it is now!
To be fair, with how this organism's jaw operates, it can just be that it is intelligent enough to know that's one of the points for it to do hefty damage. Once it did it once and saw it permanently incapacitated the organism it was attacking, that'd mean it'd recognize that point as a weak spot in the future for this prey. Going for the head I find is more a sign of intelligence, should said creature be doing it out of that and not because of something else
A note on the crash landing: The Soyuz capsule uses a retrorocket system right before impact to "cushion" the landing. If those don't go off it can cause a crash landing. The Soyuz 5 had a crewmember shatter his teeth from the impact after the retrorockets failed to go off.

I believe that she had held the boy underneath the water to try and assist with fighting PTSD head on. The boy may have had psychological issues with drowning or a fear for water... Taking this too far with a really bad method for therapy. This is why she had been dismissed for backing an old, inhumane method.
The African Graboid from Tremors 5, specifically the detachable tongues might be worth covering
This made me think of a good idea for a video for you. Examine the various Typhon from Prey 2016. It would certainly be interesting to see your take on them.
4:11 She may have been trying to trigger the Mammalian Diving Reflex - the sensation of water and pressure on the face typically will slow your heart rate, calm you a bit, and I think even alter your circulation to keep blood in your core. Just an idea. Try it in the bathtub yourself! Though I recommend face-first, not laying back.
Only thing I can think of with regards to her...pretty much drowning a kid before this movie, is that the child might have been submerged in the midst of an ongoing seizure, then the most active ongoing pathway (presumably, the one responsible for the seizure) would have been drawing oxygen and glucose more rapidly than the rest of the brain, and the higher energy demands of the active site would cause starvation more rapidly, and a lesion would form on the area responsible.
This is somewhat pseudo-scientific. By this time, our understanding on inducing lesions on the brain was much more complete, at least in the states, but even going back to 1940, more effective means of stopping seizures were known- most notably the severing of the corpus callosum. Lobotomies had already gone the way of the dinosaur here in the states, but I'm not aware of how advanced soviet neuroscience was at this point in time. Judging from the other doc's concerns of her attempting to take credit, and taking risks, its very possible she had intended to experiment on the child, in hopes of pioneering a new manner of treating seizures without surgical intervention via lesioning.
The reason the scientist wanted to deprive the kid of oxygen is that she was an Apple genius earlier in life and she thought turning the kid off and on again might help.
Makes as much sense as any other theory.
Well she suceeded in "shutting him off" anyhow.
Actually even though Venus has almost no magnetosphere, it does but it's weak assumed to be caused by the atmosphere itself, the massive amount of air will block even the worst cosmic rays as remember, Venus has 40 times more air than Earth, and most of that are compounds as well, not just raw elements.
