- In the Movie "Overlord" as the Americans are sent in to destroy a tower, the German forces were conducting strange experiments deep within an underground portion of a church. By pure chance, the Americans end up stumbling across this and seeing first hand, what this Tar Serum is capable that the Germans were working on. As a skirmish breaks out, it becomes clear, those infected, are no longer human. But what makes them so powerful and how does it affect human physiology? lets discuss that in todays episode!

ah yes, the Unofficial Wolfenstien movie
Damn I wanted to write the same
That's literally what I thought when I first saw the trailer for this movie.
Totally. When I saw bits of the trailer I thought it was an ad for a new Wolfenstein game lol
Old blood
Dead army
Meanwhile some wherenin England, hellboy was being summoned
And wolverine out there somewhere cutting down nazis
And bumblebee is fucking up the nazis
*MICHAEL BAY HAS JOINED THE CHAT*
And Johann Schmidt is searching for the Tesseract in Norway, the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail have both had an attempt to find them, and whatever was going on in Castle Wolfenstein was also happening.
No no off the coast of Scotland is what broom said.
The head reminds me of Lovecraft’s story “Herbert West, the Reanimator.” West served in WW1 as a field surgeon and secretly experimented on the corpses. One of the corpses was a decapitated pilot, which he saw as a perfect opportunity to test his serum on a disfigured subject. He operated on the headless body and succeeded in reanimated it but the severed head remotely reanimated as well and screamed as he was re-enacting his final moments. Scared shitless by the fact the experiment produced a result that he couldn’t scientifically explain, West went home and spent the rest of his days as a recluse until the day all of his experiments, led by the headless man, found him and killed him.
The movie’s a bit different but pretty good too.
That's why you always burn the remains until they are but ash
Yup, that's H.P. Lovecraft for you.
@@Chopper51138 a big difference in the movie was that he revived the head and while talking to it (again no explanation of how it talks without lungs attached) he gets ambushed by the body rising via remote control.

Project Blackwing?!
I absolutely loved this movie. There's such a mystery behind this facility and it contrasts well with the realistic, boring and depressing battlefields
boring? boring?! the battle fields were not at all boring they just never teach you all the fun and gory details like osoweic in ww1

@@uwskie8672 some battlefields were boring, like pretty much all of the fighting in the Kursk Oblast
@@uwskie8672 do you know about trench warfare it is basically a lasting game no heroic charges just a long and boring gunfight while fighting the environment
I'm honestly surprised anyone knew about this movie, I bought it at Redbox and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
the really terrifying part is that this is directly inspired by true events. The Nazi's WERE attempting to make a serum (known as D-IX i believe) which was a performance enhancing drug that was, and i quote: "to redefine the limits of human endurance." and this movie is just THAT concept taken to the most frightening extreme.
I'm glad someone said that, cause lets be honest. The Nazi's were fucking around with shit they shouldn't have during the WW's.
Nazis also gave soldiers meth and cocaine to try to achieve that goal as well
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 They could march 60 miles nonstop on that shit. Crazy
It's also known as meth.
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 Wasn't just the soldiers, but also the women and the children
Plot twist this serum is a prototype of trioxin 2-4-5 from return of the living dead

You ever notice in return of the living dead there's a zombie from the civil war who knew how to operate a radio.

my theory... mario is infecting himself with a similar fungus and that's why his body mass grows and when he shoots a fireball, it's just the fungus firing bundled spores into the air with a chemical that burns when in contact with oxygen!

fun fact, that movie was considered as in cloverfield universe for a time . . .
I remember people talking about that, then getting confused how zombies would fit in at all
@@luclin92 I'm starting to wonder if this movie is in the same universe as Train to Busan?
and hey, I got an ad for cloverfield.
It was said to be part of the Cloverfield series until Paradox bombed
@@kylejacques8577 How would it be part of cloverfield's universe?
How would the serum spread through a body that is dead, whose heart no longer pumps, and so can’t send the blood+serum through the body?
I think he mentioned that if the heart is still viable it would restart but maybe the fungus itself is spreading it due to the fact that a fungus knows how to traverse a complicated system of tubes I mean look at a mycelium network
The serum spread itself or it re activates part of the body in contact like a parasyte
It's a movie logic do not exist
It's possible that like in the Dracula series that the serum was pumped through the corpse so as to spread it through the body completely.
the fungus causes muscle its injected to contract pushing the blood which spreads the infections which makes the muscle contract in a big cycle till the whole thing is infected
Honestly a pretty good movie, and although the ending had everything pretty summed up, i do wish they were able to make a sequel, maybe with the U.S. army finding a single syringe with the serum.
It also gave me heavy COD zombies vibes, but thats probably because not too many forms of media covered this specific... Theme? Aesthetic? That i know of.
Return of the living dead could be a viable sequel :)
Did want them to make a sequel but for the sake of humanity in the movie they have to keep it as a secret so the Americans wouldn't get there hands on it because knew what there intentions to use it
@@arkevolver1254 YES!
I'd be down for it to take place in the Cold War... Actually, this is just Call of Duty Black Ops meets Wolfenstein with Nazi Zombies seasoned all over. I'm down for it.
Originally there had been plans for a sequel which would take place in Vietnam either during the Vietnam war or during the French-Vietnamese war and the serum would be there. Though honestly I like the movie without a sequel because you know that they were going to explain the tar more and I hate that horror is better when you don’t know what it is the unknown is more frightening then what your brain can figure out. Also it sort of did though I would call those zombies more ghouls as some seem to have intelligence as we saw with the French womens head.

The brain actually stops muscles from exerting themselves to much to prevent self harm, which is probably why they gain super human strength, when their brains are unable to do so, or technically just the maximum human strength.
Super soldier biology analysis are among my _favorite_ videos! They're just so fun to speculate on, and discuss lore on physiological changes that can transform a man into a god. >c<
I'd love if you could take a look at the D-Coders and Orion super soldiers from *Prototype!* I guarantee that there's not a single other enhanced human from any other media that can stand up to the brutal might and sheer strength of a Blacklight being!

The main thing I take from super soldier videos is humans themselves are actually immensely strong and have the ability to become superhuman. Our brains hold us back due to safety and health.

You have to love the fact that this film has a timed element with needing to detonate a radio tower before D-day happens.
I actually really liked this movie. I love this version of the nazi zombies kinda story “Yes I actually liked call of duty ww2 zombies”.
I love WW2 Zombies and the way they look. Though the blue glowy eyes and aggressive yelling will always haunt me to this day...
@@DHGxMcFlurry how are they different from waw zombies? besides the color of the eye glows (blue likely means Richthofen is in control instead of Samantha, which can be seen in moon after the easter egg and nuketown after a certain round). also was the yelling and aggressiveness anything like the zombies from Verrückt? i was burnt out on zombies after black ops 2 and stopped playing MP in favor of battlefield so i never bothered with later entries aside from the first map of exo zombies.

I watched this with my dad saying it was a ww2 action film
The severed head could likely be kept alive via the multitude of tubes running into it (hard to see in the dark scene but they're there)
As for talking? I think maybe the fungus could contract throat and mouth muscles enough to suck air through the proper tubes and create some speech? Kinda a stretch but it's something
There's a artificial lung there for breathing
@@nobodycaresanymore188 but how would the voice box contract to make sound
This actually gets you thinking if the Lazarus pit from Batman has similar properties. It’s just like the tar, naturally occurring and from underground. That could indicate fungus and it also has reanimating properties and effects the brain
And it makes the person insane.
From the Lazarus pit it's temporary you'll become normal afterwards.
But the tar serum is like permanent in way.
Isnt Lazarus pit from the meteor actually,
Title should be : 'What is the Tar Serum and its "effects" on Human Anatomy? '
Shouldn't it?
it should be yes

The tar like substance and behaviour reminds me a lot of “nectar” and it’s effects from The Furnace book series by Alexander Gordon Smith, it’s very dark and I highly recommend it, I wouldn’t be surprised if he took some inspiration from it
I love that series! I fully cried when a certain someone had that thing happen. They were the last books I borrowed from my high school library.
I’m surprised someone else has read it too! The thing is that the nectar increases human lifespan and Vo2 max. I edited the fandom page for the nectar with the side effects.
Dude you just brought back high school memories i had forgotten lol lockdown was one of my favorite books. Youre right though. There is a similarity.
God that series was beautiful.😅
1:46 that actually happened to my dad, and he had ended up getting through basic without knowing how to swim. The only difference he was in the states training. He should have been fine after getting out of the river except he realized he had landed about 50 yards away from a KKK meeting, and apperently they were pissed (more so then usual it seemed to him) so he hid in a tree not realizing his chute was on the ground. Thankfully when they started looking they split up in a way that let him shimmy down and basically sprint back towards his airfield . Bizarrely he still nevered bother to learn even though he was due to ship to Vietnam a few weeks later.
you'd think that a kkk meeting would gtfo upon finding a paratrooper had landed
That spine scene was absolutely iconic, although definitely not possible. Still made me incredibly uncomfortable
I push my grandma into that position though and she’s fine
Maybe severe muscle spasms around the shoulder blades severing the spine?

ROANOKE: Liked your Hypothesis However, There were 2 Serums!! 1 Was Blood Red, like what chases was injected with, But Wafner used 2 on himself. Red & Orange, So Your theory is a little off, in that the Orange Serum, could be a Stabilizing agent or a Neutralizing compound. Both would do the same similar effect but in different ways. To Destroy targeted Parts of the Infection that lead to Death of the Host or Complete Neural Degradation
good thing i can learn some science even though theres still no school here
I feel ya man
I always figured this was inspired by the Escape from Furnace book series. The titular villian, Alfred Furnace, nearly perfected his Nectar, a black serum that allows the injected to perform impressive feats and ignore death during world war 2
Imagine Germans actually have had UFOs - Thats why Pentagon releasing info about them now(!!) :D
Maybe but do keep in mind ufo does not mean alien in origin.
There was a story that said they reverse engineered a fallen ufo and had an advanced(at the time) ufo like fighter.
Look up Haunebu...
@@dominiqueminor8039 Oi mate I thought this was my comment cuz of your pfp so I was confused.
UFO just means a flying object which we dont recognise doesnt meant aliens. While the germans did do some of the first research into jet fighters. There is nothing alien about jets.
This movie was fantastic. Wolfenstein vibes, hard.
Right💯
They absolutely nailed the body horror aspect in this movie, and it had some really, really brutal scenes..
Loved it..lol
14:35 im not so certain about increased strength, i think what happens here may actually be hysterical strength. Know how you occasionally hear stories of people displaying superhuman strength during moments of extreme danger to someone they care for? Normally, the human body has built in neural safe-guards that are meant to stop us from injuring ourselves by over-exerting our muscles, these safe-guards come in the form of pain, use a muscle too intensely all at once, its gonna hurt like hell, and maybe even do damage to other tissues, but with practice, determination, a shit-load of will-power, or a huge dose of adrenaline to the body, these safe-guards can be ignored or overridden. I think whats happening here with the strength increase is actually the typical pain feedback we get from over-exerting ourselves being nullified along with the pain receptors in the nervous system, so hes actively injuring himself by using his full bodily strength, but doesn't realize it, because he can't feel the pain of torn, sprained, or pulled muscles, or broken or fractured bones.
Adrenaline increases muscle fiber recruitment and endurance, this will affect strength in compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, pullups, etc, but in isolation movements such as bicep curl increase in strength from adrenaline barely noticeable, because our nervous system already can recruitment most since there is not a lot of muscles to wor with from the beginning. This also explains why exercising you can increase your deadlifts 3-4 times but bicep curl may grow only 50% for the same amount of time, your nervous system just learned to recruit more muscle fibers, but for bicep curls, only muscle growth can help.
Back to our mutants, they seem to possess a higher level of strength even than Olympic class athletes, including in isolated movements (when Wafner lifts Chase with one arm hr essentially performs deltoid raise and deltoids are quite small muscles) which would tear joints and ligaments in singular forceful movement rendering them immobile pain or not, thus I believe without some musculoskeletal system tissue reinforcement they wouldn't be able to achieve that level of strength, besides they also possess healing factor.
Well it’s the lactic acid that is the self defense mechanism to stop using an increased strength to continue to use that muscle.
It’s the muscle itself tearing which is where the pain comes from. I don’t know if that can classify as a self defensive mechanism compared to lactic acid consider a lot of people push their muscles when in pain regardless where as enough lactic acid buildup will literally “shut” down or temporarily halt muscle contractions wether you want it too or not.
An important thing people often seem to never get is that hysterical strength is not an adrenal rush, it's a massive hormonal cocktail that cascades more drastically the longer it's on. The neural inhibitors, though a large factor in this, isn't the only one. The force generated by muscles themselves also actually skyrockets when the right conditions are met. Some of these are due to tetanic contractions, but we actually know surprisingly little about this, whether this also involves changes to the actin-myosin arrays or not
Until I read your post, I never once stopped to think about things like pain or lactic acid being safeguards to limit the full use of physical strength.
@@Asertix357 for engines its rev limiters and speed governors, for electrics its surge protectors and breakers, for the human body, its pain, it tells us when we exceed our limits, and warns us if we push too much further, it may break.
So…The false Captain America had 2 types of Super Soldier serum….great

The movie is great but damn, the protagonist is annoying and dumb
Day six of asking Roanoke to cover the Blacklight virus from the [Prototype] series.
I know, the game was sorta "meh" to me tbh
@@RoanokeGaming Oh ok, that's a little saddening but thanks for responding anyways.
Was excited when I heard a movie called “Overlord” was coming out. And was disappointed when it had nothing to do with the “Overlord” anime.
What I love about this movie is that since the whole tar thing stayed a secret that this could have happened in our time line. I know it didn’t but it’s still kind of fun to think about.
This channel is just the best. Every time a science channel dissects movies/video games, they focus on how unrealistic everything is and pat themselves on the back for being so smart. Roanoke acknowledges that the head-spine person wouldn't really be able to talk, but doesn't dwell on it. I think it takes a lot more creativity to make a working picture from this stuff than to just tear it down and crap all over it. Like I said, THE BEST.
I loved this movie, it was a breath of fresh air for me, as many other zombie/infection type movies tend to fall short.
I agree, it was a surprisingly good movie. Had a great cast and crew behind it.
Any chance your could cover the Revanant, it’s like a zombie/vampire movie that gets pretty morbid. but tackle some pretty cool biological questions like what would happen to a person if they were still alive under the ocean and could not die.
I think in the movie it heavily leaned on being supernatural but I do love listening to how it could actually have real potential in being something realistic. That honestly would be more terrifying knowing something like that could be tangible and would elevate making the movie more frightening.
He didn’t get seen anyone on infiltration because he critted his move silently skill checks.
Loved this movie, and I was really not expecting to see you cover it, so this video is a very welcome surprise!
One thing I'm still curious about was what were they doing to Rosenfeld? Do you think they were just prepping him to go into a bag, or something else? Maybe testing how the raw "Tar" would affect someone injected with it?
As per usual -Thanks for taking time making videos. Never gets stale,.tons of respect and apperication. I know it is time,.work, and your pushing out more and more frequent great videos. Stuck in bed quarantine, this has keot my mind from wandering into a void. Be well. Hope.you.are feeling better. And thanks again bud.
I think this film was playing off of the concept of the Lazarus pit, a take given by DC comics. Or the fountain of youth. The sludge being something found in the earth. I also feel this theme fits considering the pit is located under a church in the film.
Hay Roanoke
how could you modify this to make it "semi"-viable?
Probably by figuring out what chemical compounds the fungus (or rather the secretions from fungus enveloped individuals) is using to induce changes and concocting a man made substance that uses those chemicals. Basically the biological agenda of the organism itself needs to somehow be eliminated if you don't want your super soldier to be entirely consumed by it. Also a way to trick the immune system of your living soldier into accepting it so their brain isn't crushed by the resulting meningitis as the body just goes nuclear trying to fight the foreign entity.
I would love to hear Roanoke's take on this though. Perhaps in a video that's straight up about the perfected version of this basically being the Super Soldier Serum from Captain America? Yeah, Roanoke should explain to us how Captain America could hypothetically work.
@@getschwifty5537 hell to the "fudging" yea.
I myself....could imagine that if you were to subdue the immune system it COULD have a similar effect...although the muscle contractions may be much (I know it does not happen in a living subject, but it MAY be induced by the fungul-ish infection that is taking over the body far faster without the immune system to really try and stop it...)
@@getschwifty5537 Umbrella would like to know your location
@Cure4Living hay....hay....hay......
stop it
That scene after chase is injected kinda reminds me of marines being infected by the flood from Halo
Kind of wish that they went on more with the serum, but at the end of the movie it's just kind of forgotten. Like as if Nazi Germany would not have some sort of secondary lab deeper within their lines that kept on experimenting with the serum to give their troops an edge against the encroaching Ally armies.
I think the talking head whas a reference to an experiment that whas done on dog heads where they artificially brought the heads back to life by pumping artificial blood and and oxygen through the heads
I could think of a few methods to make that serum last longer. Also could you imagine this being used by captured nazi soldiers instead of cyanide
So thats what was in the syringe the medic used to revive me in Battlefield
“Think of it like Cordyceps but for fruit flys” plays tlou 2 music
Lol I noticed that
Basic premise of a mysterious almost supernatural red substance reminds me of another alternative history ww2 thing: Uber. A comic where "Wöden's blood" makes people super strong and durable and gives them "disruption halos" that are like psychic energy blasts
This heavily reminds me of Wolfenstine or however you pronounce it lol. Also I have actually seen the movie and it's really good and the head part freaked me out lol
It was a very suspenseful movie I enjoyed it a lot
hate to be that guy, but it's wolfenstein.
Wolfenstein, and you spelled out it's pronounciation, so technically you pronounced it right, except you spelled it wrong
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan My thoughts exactly
No you can't just reanimate your soldiers that's immoral!
Jaja serum go brrrr
I only recently found your channel, but I love your summaries. They're very well done, and neatly segue into your theories. Thank you for sharing!
Suggestion; the Grimm pools and the creatures they spawn from the web series RWBY. @Roanoke Gaming please reply.
This is such an amazing movie, I’m so glad that you decided to cover it!
The tur serum reminds me of the horror movie Re-animater.
Such an underrated movie, glad you did this breakdown! I almost thought it was a supernatural component to the tar (kind of like how some cultures believe the certain muds or dyes imbue power), but I now think that your analysis and breakdown provide a much more realistic explanation.
I wonder if injecting the blood of the infected would have the same effect on someone as the secretions or if it would react differently due to the reactivity with the immune system in the blood
So the "Tar" has to be filtered through a humans body, and then the filtered "Tar" is filtered again to remove the original "Tar", leaving the Human Body filtered "Tar". That does make a lot of sense. I really enjoy your videos, and you have taught me about a lot of Organic Materials. You are very smart and I'm happy you make videos
Here's my thinking on the serum:
This movie was made by the same guy who did Cloverfield. In fact, before Overlord was released there was speculation that it occurred in the same universe. The director denied it, but there is a substance in the Cloverfield universe that's similar to the Tar serum (though I don't think it's ever seen on camera). I think Roanoke even talked about it in another video, saying that it promoted cellular growth, enhanced physical abilities & caused mutations. The Cloverfield monster fed on this substance, which was why it was able to grow so large, and like the Tar serum it came from an underground source. So to me it seems like Overlord really is a prequel to Cloverfield where nazis discovered another deposit of the 'seabed nectar' I think it was called, and that the reanimation, aggression, and super human strength we see are the effects that the substance that made the Cloverfield monster would have on humans.

Starting watching most of your Dead Space videos a couple days ago. And I gotta say. I really enjoy what you're doing here!
Learning about these characters and how they turn out. It's fascinating. Keep it up!
I haven't seen the film, but I wonder were Nazis researching tar to use it as a weapon or as a way to enhance their own soldiers? Making your own dead to reckless supersoldiers to be unleashed on enemies would be quite frightening.
I've never heard of this movie. Definitely gonna watch it.
So do you think if you had a low enough dosage the body could fight it off and you'd still get some of the short term benefits or do you think it's more of an all or everything kinda deal
I've seen almost every movie you've done and STILL love hearing the breakdown from you, so well done. Absolutely love your content.
While I can agree that the tar is a fungus, I’m still thinking it’s supernatural to some degree because of the whole “head on a spine being able to talk” and because historically Nazis were known to be into the occult
RUclips: You're on Thin Ice buddy!
So, what I'm learning from this is that should the Nazis weaponize the serum at that stage of development then the soldiers wouldn't last long in a prolonged campaign or skirmish as either they would die from explosive ordnance or from their own bodies deteriorating from the effects. They would eventually be a threat to each other as they would to the Allies. It kinda begs the question: what would require the Nazis to try and keep the positive side of the effects (coming back to life, increased strength and healing) while negating the negative side (insanity, muscle and bone distortions, heart and brain overuse and eventual collapse due to nervous system breakdown)?
This is weird cuz yesterday i was just thinking about this movie when it popped in my head again and i thought "hey maybe my favorite youtuber could explain the lore about this". Dream come true lol.
Idea for a movie: Soviet Ape-Men Versus Nazi Werewolves.
Loved the movie. My only gripe with it is that as an airborne trooper myself, the MC tried to pull his parachute behind him (which is literally impossible) instead of pulling that reserve chute right there on his chest. Also I doubt that officer is a patrol leader, from what I could tell, he's a base commander. Otherwise, great video!
