I love the contrast over how they speak with big and important words but are also so slow and forgetful in their speech, like they're dumb as rocks but someone gave them a thesaurus.
They are basically prehistoric sea cockroaches having a conversation while doing the equivalent of walking around a kitchen looking for food. The speech pattern avoids vagueness while using a few distinct words as possible. Words only become stretched out with multiple meanings if the words are being used to describe a wide variety of ideas. The Trilobytes have tiny brains that can only form certain limited thoughts, so their "words" don't get stretched out and still only have narrow, non-overlapping meanings. Someone with a Ph.D. is translating their thoughts into language and choosing the most precise word for every idea. There should be no synonyms, though the overlap between "edible material" and "snack" might be allowable given how food-oriented they would be. Some anthropomorphic ideas did creep into script though. The Trilobytes shouldn't be trying to teach each other lessons or pointing with legs. Corp should have smelled his buddy's last meal on him and followed a scent trail to it. He should be saying "You are poorly nourished. I should not follow you." Corp's buddy should have smelled Corp with his antenna and then decided to follow him because he is better nourished. Leadership isn't determined because they remember interacting with each other in the past. Also, even if they have good eyes, their eyes are pointed upwards and not forward. Having flat bodies close to the ground, they don't have the correct perspective to see off into the distance anyway. They should locate food by scent or feel and only very rarely by sight. The "flying ones" are more properly translated as "non-threatening shadows." The Trilobytes should also react to any threateningly-shaped shadows passing overhead just like cockroaches would today (though their efforts to run away might be comical because they are so slow unlike modern cockroaches). Edit: also the term "invertebrate" should be replaced by "worm." Proper vertebrates like we know them today weren't yet a thing in the Cambrian.
Heh! Hilarious! Animalocaris eating Corb the Trilobite was the most unexpected thing, and Trilobites calling Opabinias "Flying one" was very cool! Sometimes being a Paleontogy nerd really makes you unserstand these jokes, lol! I hope we will get more of these! A Cretacious or Devonian episode would be awesome.
It sucks that RUclips removed the "community-submitted captions" feature a few years ago bc it was "underused" (as if they weren't to blame for not advertising it properly beyond a brief pop-up when opening the app the first time after the update) (plus who knows what they were using for their baseline for those statistics) It's a shame bc you can do all sorts of cool things with YT captions. The official music video for "Feelin' That Way" by Journey shows how you can custom position captions, allowing you to more easily denote who's talking, or even just be more "showy" with the captions. And Grian has a long habit of color-coding his captions to help you know who's talking during his multiplayer Minecraft videos, which is really great when people are often talking while off-screen (it also means you don't have to start EVERY caption with the speaker's name). Anyway, yeah I might try to make a transcript for this in another comment once I can get to my PC, but the auto-captions are doing an alright job, so maybe it's unnecessary for me to do so. Still, I like having proper dedicated captions on RUclips videos. As someone with ADHD, it can be a real godsend
I'm telling you, put "You can't say No to a snack" on a shirt and it'll sell like hotcakes. Maybe a little Blep too. Blep stickers? Blep stickers. Blep plushies? Yes.
“The accessibility of that encounter is comfortable to me, and I like it” is Bojack Horseman level scary ❤ fantastic I feel malice towards one of my favorite creatures, visually, ever Why is Corb like that, stop (edit he stopped. Can’t say no to a snack 😊)
I see my fallen brethren infront of me. Mangled, twitching, then still. I look at the husk that once contained him. My friend, my brother...his visera glistening and his blood trailing off to the sky. Cant say no to a snack.

now i'm getting nostalgia for walking with monsters
oceans just a wierd soup 🍲 and were living in it! 🌊
It takes a certain kind of human to make this and I resonate with it so hard
That shrimp would not want to kill a trilobite nor it can
You mean you can't say no to the edible material.
Flying one is gonna be mad, he was going to ingest it at a later time.
I love this, animation and dialogue remind me of Animals on HBO.
I love Cambrian era animals man
I need more 😩
I love it. More of this please.
You can’t say no to a snack
This is something i wish i grew up with

NO.

Blep has the same name as me.
You can't say "no" to a great video the algorithm sends you
Dude who got eaten sounds like Patrick Bateman
Exactly
5 more parts please 🙏🏼
2 of these 3 animals are getting added to a tattoo of mine, so I feel like I’m entitled to say I love it please make more of these????
Ahh finally home.
We need a full series of these two guys getting into whacky situations in the cambrian era. This was beatiful well done mate
I love this so much
I like that the two trilobite conversationalists are a Cedaria and a Dokimocephalus.
Omg I love it!!
I fucking love Trilobites

This was wayyyyy too good

I enjoyed the edible material.

This is a good video and I would like more please.

Damn this is good
What was the edible material that the flying one stole from blep
“The accessibility of that encounter is comfortable to me, and I like it” is Bojack Horseman level scary ❤ fantastic

Why is Corb like that, stop (edit he stopped. Can’t say no to a snack 😊)
"Well I am going to need you to wake up, I am informing you, you can't be informed if you are in a unconscious state."
What the hell? This is so good!
The trilobite on the left reminds me of Patrick Bateman.
his name is korb
That's why he got eaten by the anomalocaris.
This is so cool

Oh this is the GOOD shit right here!
This is perfect imo
NO NONONONO HE CANT DIE
I. Love this
this is great! so cute to watch the trilobites scuttle around and talk.
hope to see more, awesome work!

Blep sounds like that one guy in the video where he's describing to his dog about all the yummy food he ate.
that's like, the vocabulary i use
Same. We should ingest nutrients and rest in a clearing sometime.

With him saying “you can’t say no to a snack” at the end it implies one of two things: Cannibalism or He holds no grudge towards the anomalocaris.
