Sorry I had too reupload this, got it reviewed and everything was good then it was hit 2 days later...by another review. huge bruh moment lol either way if you havent seen it, hope you enjoy it!
I like the idea that in the first movie, the empath doesn't have any powers and just lucked into the job by stating the obvious and also making shit up.
Ah yes, the Species movies, or as I call them "I WOULD ask why seducing humanity is a viable invasion option, but I romanced Tali form mass effect in nano seconds the moment I was given a chance so I'm not allowed to complain when the horny is uno reversed"
@@oldleatherhandsfriends4053reminds me of one clip from Doctor Who, where the doctor's talking to his human friend ahout what humanity does in the future once they discover alien species, and yeah, tons of "magic" ensued among humans and the aliens
Can't blame ya tail is hot and the fact her body mature that much between mass effect 1 and 2 where if you romance Ashley she goes through a body change by mass effect 3 with no real explanation for it though a part of me slightly jokes if she got a tiny bit of the species aliens dna in her lol
Another possibility, just to consider, is that the aliens in the movie trilogy aren't the primary species, but a slave race created to remove obstacles and prepare for the host species arrival. That could be why it also came with designs for basically unlimited energy. Get the terrestrial species to start the frame work, while they're slowly corrupted and replaced from within. Then, when the host species does arrive (as it takes time to travel space, one would presume), it has a planet already filled with slaves and unlimited energy. Just a thought.
My theory is that on the planet Gigeria within Magellanic Galaxy, The Scorn people from the game created that alien species until they turned evil and there was a war between the scorn and their creations. The Scorn lost the war and they were exiled from their own planet leaving their creations as in The Matians took over the planet with Queen L'thiah as their Queen. Then one of the Queen's elite guard was searching for new planets to conquer so he went to the milky way galaxy and he discovered the scorn were colonizing on mars. He was killed by the scorn and The Queen sensed his death and discovered The Scorn's location and she and the rest of her army went to mars to fight The Scorn on Mars until The Scorn Leader The Scorn Mage unleashed a blue aura like shockwave that sent every Matian into a coma like state rendering them unconscious and The Scorn Mage buried them all underneath the surface Mars so there would be no trace of their existence and The Scorn left Mars and went to prehistoric earth and then The Mage used the last of his powers to create the first group of homo sapiens as in the first humans from different parts of the planet and all the scorn had bury themselves underneath earth so no one will ever know of their existence. Oh fun fact, that member of the queen's elite guard that I mentioned? He was killed by The Scorn and The Scorn Mage sent his dead corpse underneath mars for billions of years until Patrick Ross visited mars and took some sample of Mars crust not knowing that the guard's slimy self was hiding inside and with the queen's help via spirit and not her physical form, she melted one the samples and led him into infecting Patrick turning into him hours later and took over his body and corrupted his mind by causing Patrick to mate and kill the women when they gave birth to his children and fought Eve, Lennox, Luara and Gable later on at the ending of Species 2 until he died due to Gable's blood.

Super excited for this one man, I've been watching your work for a few years now and I feel like everything keeps getting better and better, awesome stuff my dude! If you'd like a video game recommendation that I think would really interest you, it's Hunt Showdown. It takes place in an alternate old west and has tons of creepy cool "monsters", diseases, transformations and mutations that are pretty unique. I think it could be right up your alley and I would LOVE to see you cover it someday. There's lots of lore and the game is pretty cool, but hearing the science behind it would be really neat.

I'm not ashamed to admit that Species, or rather Natasha Henstridge to be more specific, was my "sexual awakening." When you're a 12 to 13 year old boy on the cusp of puberty, seeing the pair of yabbos & the cake Natasha had back in 1996 (which, btw, she was 21 when the film came out) was the catalyst for my neurons firing.
my headcanon is that empath guy is really good at feigning insightfulness while everyone else was just an out of touch executive or a genius scientist who lacks even an ounce of common sense, meaning he got a job he wasn't qualified for because he just so happens to understand how normal people think.
I we thinking the the hybrids drying in the third Movie was dying du to being the mars genome not fully compatible with earth genes. The gene code we got in the first was special for just earth, and mars woudl have been special just for mars life. The hybrids in the third movies were from a dad the was have human and helf mars "species" and a human mom, making defunct genes but with instincts to help the earth born hybrid to propogate. I don't know, it is a weird set of movie. I thought there wasa series based off this too, but not sure on that.
Yup, I figured out on how fragile we are when I went through EMT/ETT class in high school. I always tell my friends and family we aren’t invisible, even one nick to a certain body areas we are bodied. Still is sad that no one with no medical knowledge know that.
I always kinda saw the male in Species 2 being quadrupedal as just a sort of symbolic thing. Like "Oh this human is just completely gone now and there's just alien instinct"
I mean, they make a very emphasized point of showing that after he "clears his head," he is basically just a human shell that the alien pilots from then on.
Doubt anyone will read this but in a situation like this assuming the alien doesn’t escape and a science team can learn everything about it, just introduce religion to the thing and convince it not to fallow instinct.
Having the Halo soundtrack playing in the background just makes this comedic dissertation on alien/human physiology all the more entertaining. I was honestly waiting on a sound bite of MC getting nuked by a flood when one of the characters got domed.
47:01~48:19 I'm sorry but, I may have misunderstood your explanation, I think you should consider two facts Patrick has two types of alien forms and the first form is bipedal.
Just a side note, the driver who was the soldier in Species III could have been a National Guardsman, being both a soldier and a professor at the same time? just a thought
I could never understand whenever someone in a movie finds blood or a puddle of something gross, nine times out of ten they dip their fingers in it to look at it closely and or smell it. They then usually exclaim their revulsion, state what it looks like and wipe it on their own clothes or just continue on with nasty fingers.
To be honest to most if not all of us men, if it's female, we will give it a shot, all it comes down to is the challenge, the logistics and a shit tonne of alcohol...
@@RoanokeGaming liara for first, Tali was second and never changed since. Never saw it myself but apparently it’s a rare dialogue for obvious reasons. only and I dare say ONLY good decision you can get out of her is if you pick her over Kaiden and you dump her for Tali. Only then will she say on the hospital bed “nah tali is like a sister to me I get it.”
@@danielpeckham5520 if you use the books, combined with the movies you realise that not only is Sil still alive, but "the species" are SOOOO much worse than Xenomorphs
Lol I remember seeing this movie available for rent in Blockbuster video. I was like six years old and really into Alien 1, Aliens, Predator, stuff like that at the time and for some reason got it into my head this was that sort of movie. Sometimes on Friday evenings after school, my mom would take me to Blockbuster and let pick out a video game or a movie to rent for the weekend. I kept asking for this, she never let me rent it and I didn't understand why lol. Thank God for that - I would have been forever traumatized. Hell - just watching this trilogy summarized here as an adult I'm even half-traumatized!
Great job again on the trilogy analysis Roanake! Truly your brain is much more covered in mighty wrinkles than mine. Also, I've always found it funny no one ever made a headcanon connection between the Species alien "Recipe" and the "Black Goo" accelerant from Prometheus. Nice try Ridley Scott, no one thought we would notice, but we did!
Species 1 : hates on the Empath Species 2 : analyzes the "mother-daughter" relationship just like him XD Jk great video as usual but that was kinda funny!
I mean the most realistic thing would be as humans the idea of “What if I just get jiggy with it?” Seems to be the common theme. Just good old Ooga booga things.
You should do a breakdown of the Audrey 2 in Little Shop of Horrors, the giant blood consuming plant that could talk and likely had indeterminate growth
He could even extend the brackdown to feature some of things you can see in the cartoon series. Would like to see this (the cartoon part is optional of course)
I don't get how Sara's healing factor couldn't heal her reproductive system, also wouldn't her hormones be unstable? I truly forgot about the 3rd n 4th movie
It’s because I think the doctor essentially gave Sara a hysterectomy but for aliens once that part of a woman is gone there is no way to get it back or heal from it reproductive organs are complicated even for hybrids. That’s why she and the others went for her eggs as they were the only part of her that he kept to use.
@Mcherri OK that makes some more sense, and a good argument for plot device. It just seemed like a misstep because their levels of regeneration seemed to vary greatly. Like I think it was Peter who destroyed his own brain and then grew it back and he was a 1st generation hybrid.
@@BLKDEVX yeah that is true however the doctor did take her womb and eggs out when she was still young before she went through the cocoon stage and produce no hormones even then I think she still wouldn’t be able to regenerate what she had taken from her as everything was ripped out of her to begin with you cannot heal what wasn’t there to begin with or understand at the age she was. Their regeneration is definitely complicated but remember Sara is still part human so that allowed her womb to be taken it was a different matter with Patrick all together and he was male.
@Mcherri Very true at the end of the day the regen is just trying to build what it considers damage. Also I had not factored in the cocoon phase, if there body reaches sexual maturity it would also probably then develop the regenerate and combat capabilities it would need to survive.
@@BLKDEVX exactly the moment they emerge from the cocoon their alien side Amps up to making them a full hybrid with both sides establishing themselves though the alien side does tend to take over from time to time with the mating. Again this is different with Patrick due to him not being a lab created hybrid I don’t even think he could’ve been considered a hybrid in the end when his full alien dna takes the controls from Patrick. I cannot remember if they stated he was a hybrid or a full alien in the end as he was infected with alien dna and just waiting to take control. Patrick had 2 forms of aliens he could turn into whereas the hybrids eve and Sara as well as sil only had 1.
Hahaha, with my genetics, they would have to be pretty desperate to reproduce. I'm not saying I'm a mess, but I do have family members on both sides who are insulin dependent diabetic. However, that being said, if I was approached and asked? Yes, I would mainly because after seeing these movies forced offectcion and spurring their advances seem to be what gets you killed. Before someone brings it up, the guy in the first movie died because he realized she is the alien target.
The fact that this movie is inspired by a concept of a xenomorph in alien 3 that would seduce males and shoot a tounge through the back of there head is wild
37:50 personally i always wondered what if mars had a sapient species (like the blue people from avatar ) what would have been the interaction between us. PS the mars guy kids all are male and have brown hair , that shows some sort of dominant gene to the point of custom tailoring . Personally i don't think the alien genes fail because of to much human DNA but because damage to the alien one from all the harsh conditions on mars.
The dumbest part in this trilogy is that the alien weakness was discovered in the first movie but forgot about instantly genetic abnormalities so the ultimate weapon against this SPECIES is a dart gun with the blood of someone with a genetic disorder
Terrifying note on Asaris: With their reproductive system the Asaris could potentially replace any local species with whom they reproduce given enough time, slowly assimilating them in a way. Of course in ME, with their gov', it wont easily happen but let say you had an authoritarian system, they'd likely conquer worlds to slowly replace local population through reproduction while improving themselves with their beneficial genes. A more diplomatic and insidious, manipulative and gradual approach rather than violent one like in Species would make, well Species' alien species even more successful. Spread your species by gradually replacing others and making yours more successful, powerful, in the process and all that just through reproduction.
good old copyright crap! glad you could re-upload it though. loved the first movie back when i was in the teens (for obvious reasons lol) love the work you do for this channel! gotta continue with the Giger creatures though and give us the Xenomorphs!! Or give us Tiberium and the Tib mutants from the Command and Conquer series!
The funny thing is; if these creatures didn't kill their human partners they probably would've won. "Listen, you can't have amazing alien sex because these things are trying to reproduce and replace us." "Oh, no! So it'll kill me if I mate with it?" "well...no, but our entire species would---" "Sorry, they won me at amazing alien sex."
Man, I love your channel and the concept behind it. It's so awesome when the filmmakers base things on reality. It's equally awesome when you can make it plausible no matter how ridiculous it may seem.
I seem to recall the original Sil alien-form was designed by HR Geiger. Whereas the original form of Natasha Henstridge was designed by the God of Bewbs....
I still say Species was supposed to be almost a prequel to the Xenomorph alien movies, where the "aliens" were the engineers, why it was a mathematical equation to CREATE a species, but because humans were idiots, it wasn't the bioengineered. Where I still LOVE the contrast with Aliens and predators (yatua) as the conflicted aliens, where they're like Doomsday (adaptation) with xenomorphs (Parademons), where its evolution vs Bioengineering.
Yeah I've been thinking that for awhile, that Sil would fit well as a bio weapon sent by the Engineers, and that had done similar on Mars at some point
I am reminded of the game "all humans must die" in which we learn the aliens that come to invade need human's to recreate their ability to breed. So I wonder if that was the thing here? Putting out feelers all over the place to find a species that can bond with their own DNA. This species might have been long dead, as earth just getting a signal with the information. So its less an invasion and more of re population... On the bodies of the creatures they came from.
@Roanoke Gaming I know this has nothing to do with this video but can you cover marvel zombies and the dc comics deceased both are zombie viruses please it would be amazing also Z nation would be amazing
Competition for resources is fierce even here on earth. It would be even worse on a galactic scale. So far, humanity has the best planet in the known universe to live upon. As the species, they might actually be a bioweapon used by a more advanced alien race as a means of eliminating competition for resources.
Interesting piece of info, H.R. Giger designed the alien form which is straight out nightmare fuel, the guy is the best at what he does. For those that don't know he designed the iconic xenomorph in the Alien franchise.
Naked yoga is allowed and monetized on this site but saying children/child or the image/drawing of a man's genitalia in a textbook is too much? RUclips is messed up
Damn, for a moment I thought I had psychically seen into the future and watched the video already, then I read the description and reality was affirmed; just re-uploaded.
Any chance you can do an episode on Pandorum? Probably not much there but given the psychosis and the creatures, it's like two different scientific studies in one decent horror movie.
Another thing about a multi-planet civilization dealing with asteroids is the likely hood that they could have the resources needed to halt that potential meteorite from ever hitting the earth by virtue of having a standing response team to react to incidents like this, all that's required is a strong enough kinetic force and you can divert an asteroid away from earth, or better yet divert the rock to orbit around the planet instead of hitting it (Likely at a distance that 1 doesn't hit the moon 2 doesn't alter the tidal pull of earth too much), then stripping it for resources, all well building the beginnings of an artificial ring to put around the planet as a spaceport. I am neither a time traveler nor an Alien planting the idea in someone's head to ensure the path for humanity is long and prosperous. Now excuse my Atlantean Taco Bell is getting cold.
I mean, I would be tempted. I would give her no reason to kill me, and really would see promise in the genetic upgrade if the overpopulation concern could be alleviated.
I remember watching this on accident for the first time on Sci-Fi will flipping thru channels at my grandma’s house after 11pm back in ‘98. Species horrified 5 year old me and Sil/Natasha was my bisexual/childhood awakening and cemented my blonde preference
I don't remember the details but I think I watched 1 & 2 with my parents on dvd, my parents probably think I was too young to understand, boy were they wrong.
When I was little the only thing I remember about this movie was the scene of the aliens fighting in part two And yeah they look like the Asari.... If they had a run-in with a xenomorph
Recommend you check out the Cells at Work anime. Great stuff. Watching Medical Doctors react to it is fun, would like to see your reactions as well. I dont know how good the Dub is, Sub is pretty much always the recommended way to watch anime. Your gonna have to start covering Anime eventually :P Theres only so many monster movies lol
Man, I reeeaaally hope he doesn't start doing anime. There's still thousands of good movies and games to over before even thinking about anime. And besides, 90% of anime monsters are supernatural and just can't be explained through science.

Honestly it’s one of his worst. You can tell there was no one telling him no.

Super excited for this one man, I've been watching your work for a few years now and I feel like everything keeps getting better and better, awesome stuff my dude! If you'd like a video game recommendation that I think would really interest you, it's Hunt Showdown. It takes place in an alternate old west and has tons of creepy cool "monsters", diseases, transformations and mutations that are pretty unique. I think it could be right up your alley and I would LOVE to see you cover it someday. There's lots of lore and the game is pretty cool, but hearing the science behind it would be really neat.
I hope you enjoy it bro!
Your Inner Fish book has a lot of interesting points on how weird human bodies are because of how evolution is like like trying to rewire your computer setup without unplugging anything.
As expected youtube become a huge dragging tool for our favoured content creator scientist. Like they practically want to turn the site into a kids cartoon channel and thats not even a joke
Dude after what I just witnessed the last few videos, it feels like that. Even after getting this thing CONFIRMED suitable, it still got hit. What is even the point of manually reviewing it in the first place?
@@RoanokeGaming the reviewing system is entirely broken and they are letting it rot deliberately. I am practically confirmed they abandoned the whole site on autopilot with bots and they arent controlling it by themselves hence
When Roanoke said " we're made out of duct tape, and shoe strings." I felt that.💀😅
This was indeed one of my favorite movies growing up. Also check out Leviathan (1987)
I can check it out!
"SAY AHH MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!"
I'm not ashamed to admit that Species, or rather Natasha Henstridge to be more specific, was my "sexual awakening." When you're a 12 to 13 year old boy on the cusp of puberty, seeing the pair of yabbos & the cake Natasha had back in 1996 (which, btw, she was 21 when the film came out) was the catalyst for my neurons firing.
I watched the first Species Movie when I was 12 years old.

my headcanon is that empath guy is really good at feigning insightfulness while everyone else was just an out of touch executive or a genius scientist who lacks even an ounce of common sense, meaning he got a job he wasn't qualified for because he just so happens to understand how normal people think.
I we thinking the the hybrids drying in the third Movie was dying du to being the mars genome not fully compatible with earth genes. The gene code we got in the first was special for just earth, and mars woudl have been special just for mars life. The hybrids in the third movies were from a dad the was have human and helf mars "species" and a human mom, making defunct genes but with instincts to help the earth born hybrid to propogate. I don't know, it is a weird set of movie. I thought there wasa series based off this too, but not sure on that.
Round two. Watching again because you deserve it.
Thanks my man!
If I made a genetic monstrosity thanks to Alien information, I would be guarding that with Nukes, not cyanide.
Yup, I figured out on how fragile we are when I went through EMT/ETT class in high school. I always tell my friends and family we aren’t invisible, even one nick to a certain body areas we are bodied. Still is sad that no one with no medical knowledge know that.
invincible
Should've told me earlier, I thought my neighbors couldn't see me
I always kinda saw the male in Species 2 being quadrupedal as just a sort of symbolic thing. Like "Oh this human is just completely gone now and there's just alien instinct"
I mean, they make a very emphasized point of showing that after he "clears his head," he is basically just a human shell that the alien pilots from then on.
Doubt anyone will read this but in a situation like this assuming the alien doesn’t escape and a science team can learn everything about it, just introduce religion to the thing and convince it not to fallow instinct.
Whats interesting is that the SIL/Human hybridization is REALLY similar to the xenomorph embryo formation process in the Alien franchise.
I swear when I first saw the thumbnail, it looked like an xenomorph😂
@@sharvinjoseph2818 it's from the same Designer HR Giger
@@anubisdracorex6355is he allowed to keep using the same design?
@@xyoungdipsetx That is his Style, not from Ridley Scott. It exists a HR Giger Museum in Swiss. There is al in this Style designed
Makes sense considering the aliens in the Alien and Species franchises were both designed by the same person - H.R. Giger.
Having the Halo soundtrack playing in the background just makes this comedic dissertation on alien/human physiology all the more entertaining. I was honestly waiting on a sound bite of MC getting nuked by a flood when one of the characters got domed.
47:01~48:19 I'm sorry but, I may have misunderstood your explanation, I think you should consider two facts Patrick has two types of alien forms and the first form is bipedal.
I love the immediate drop in quality between Species 2 and Species 3, like that budget is GONE besties
Was it me or did the male and female from the second movie looked like the alien and predator knock offs respectively?
Yes the male alien in Species 2 looks just like the Predalien in AVP2, same mandibles and dreadlocks
Just a side note, the driver who was the soldier in Species III could have been a National Guardsman, being both a soldier and a professor at the same time? just a thought
I always thought he somehow infiltrated the collection crew....
Species III is just Professor T-Bag explaining how he went to prison for clapping alien minor cheeks
I could never understand whenever someone in a movie finds blood or a puddle of something gross, nine times out of ten they dip their fingers in it to look at it closely and or smell it. They then usually exclaim their revulsion, state what it looks like and wipe it on their own clothes or just continue on with nasty fingers.

Wait, so you have problems downloading Linkin park too?
Lol I remember seeing this movie available for rent in Blockbuster video. I was like six years old and really into Alien 1, Aliens, Predator, stuff like that at the time and for some reason got it into my head this was that sort of movie. Sometimes on Friday evenings after school, my mom would take me to Blockbuster and let pick out a video game or a movie to rent for the weekend. I kept asking for this, she never let me rent it and I didn't understand why lol. Thank God for that - I would have been forever traumatized. Hell - just watching this trilogy summarized here as an adult I'm even half-traumatized!
You need to toughen up kid 🤡🤡🤡
I watched it when I was still single digits. I watched the alien films and predator at 6, then I just watched species when it came out.
@@Usual2uspect85 Yeah? Did Species traumatize you? Or are you made of stronger stuff than I was at that age? xD
I had nightmares for decades after watching Jurassic Park back in the 90's... I can see that happening
Great job again on the trilogy analysis Roanake! Truly your brain is much more covered in mighty wrinkles than mine.
Also, I've always found it funny no one ever made a headcanon connection between the Species alien "Recipe" and the "Black Goo" accelerant from Prometheus. Nice try Ridley Scott, no one thought we would notice, but we did!
Species 1 : hates on the Empath
Species 2 : analyzes the "mother-daughter" relationship just like him XD
Jk great video as usual but that was kinda funny!
I mean the most realistic thing would be as humans the idea of “What if I just get jiggy with it?” Seems to be the common theme. Just good old Ooga booga things.
Imma watch this again, and I’m sure I won’t know what was changed, but I’ll do it anyway. And yes, Tali is best girl.
See if you can spot em XD
You should do a breakdown of the Audrey 2 in Little Shop of Horrors, the giant blood consuming plant that could talk and likely had indeterminate growth

Would like to see this (the cartoon part is optional of course)
I don't get how Sara's healing factor couldn't heal her reproductive system, also wouldn't her hormones be unstable?
I truly forgot about the 3rd n 4th movie
It’s because I think the doctor essentially gave Sara a hysterectomy but for aliens once that part of a woman is gone there is no way to get it back or heal from it reproductive organs are complicated even for hybrids. That’s why she and the others went for her eggs as they were the only part of her that he kept to use.
@Mcherri OK that makes some more sense, and a good argument for plot device. It just seemed like a misstep because their levels of regeneration seemed to vary greatly. Like I think it was Peter who destroyed his own brain and then grew it back and he was a 1st generation hybrid.
@@BLKDEVX yeah that is true however the doctor did take her womb and eggs out when she was still young before she went through the cocoon stage and produce no hormones even then I think she still wouldn’t be able to regenerate what she had taken from her as everything was ripped out of her to begin with you cannot heal what wasn’t there to begin with or understand at the age she was. Their regeneration is definitely complicated but remember Sara is still part human so that allowed her womb to be taken it was a different matter with Patrick all together and he was male.
@Mcherri Very true at the end of the day the regen is just trying to build what it considers damage. Also I had not factored in the cocoon phase, if there body reaches sexual maturity it would also probably then develop the regenerate and combat capabilities it would need to survive.
@@BLKDEVX exactly the moment they emerge from the cocoon their alien side Amps up to making them a full hybrid with both sides establishing themselves though the alien side does tend to take over from time to time with the mating. Again this is different with Patrick due to him not being a lab created hybrid I don’t even think he could’ve been considered a hybrid in the end when his full alien dna takes the controls from Patrick. I cannot remember if they stated he was a hybrid or a full alien in the end as he was infected with alien dna and just waiting to take control. Patrick had 2 forms of aliens he could turn into whereas the hybrids eve and Sara as well as sil only had 1.

The jokes about the empath XD
"The car was out of fuel, so she walked." O.o
"Tali, best girl." You're goddamn right, Roanoke.
Thank you for watching parts 2&3 so we didn’t have to
Hahaha, with my genetics, they would have to be pretty desperate to reproduce. I'm not saying I'm a mess, but I do have family members on both sides who are insulin dependent diabetic. However, that being said, if I was approached and asked? Yes, I would mainly because after seeing these movies forced offectcion and spurring their advances seem to be what gets you killed. Before someone brings it up, the guy in the first movie died because he realized she is the alien target.
The fact that this movie is inspired by a concept of a xenomorph in alien 3 that would seduce males and shoot a tounge through the back of there head is wild
From what I've learned from Species, it's nothing more than a trilogy of horny alien women. What a time to be alive.
If the rat with the tentacle amused you, you need to see the credits scene of Reanimator 3.
37:50 personally i always wondered what if mars had a sapient species (like the blue people from avatar ) what would have been the interaction between us.
PS the mars guy kids all are male and have brown hair , that shows some sort of dominant gene to the point of custom tailoring . Personally i don't think the alien genes fail because of to much human DNA but because damage to the alien one from all the harsh conditions on mars.
The dumbest part in this trilogy is that the alien weakness was discovered in the first movie but forgot about instantly genetic abnormalities so the ultimate weapon against this SPECIES is a dart gun with the blood of someone with a genetic disorder
Terrifying note on Asaris:
With their reproductive system the Asaris could potentially replace any local species with whom they reproduce given enough time, slowly assimilating them in a way. Of course in ME, with their gov', it wont easily happen but let say you had an authoritarian system, they'd likely conquer worlds to slowly replace local population through reproduction while improving themselves with their beneficial genes.
A more diplomatic and insidious, manipulative and gradual approach rather than violent one like in Species would make, well Species' alien species even more successful.
Spread your species by gradually replacing others and making yours more successful, powerful, in the process and all that just through reproduction.
good old copyright crap! glad you could re-upload it though. loved the first movie back when i was in the teens (for obvious reasons lol)
love the work you do for this channel! gotta continue with the Giger creatures though and give us the Xenomorphs!!
Or give us Tiberium and the Tib mutants from the Command and Conquer series!
The funny thing is; if these creatures didn't kill their human partners they probably would've won. "Listen, you can't have amazing alien sex because these things are trying to reproduce and replace us." "Oh, no! So it'll kill me if I mate with it?" "well...no, but our entire species would---" "Sorry, they won me at amazing alien sex."
Man, I love your channel and the concept behind it. It's so awesome when the filmmakers base things on reality. It's equally awesome when you can make it plausible no matter how ridiculous it may seem.
Always down for a Roanoke rewatch!
I appreciate you checking it out bro!
I seem to recall the original Sil alien-form was designed by HR Geiger. Whereas the original form of Natasha Henstridge was designed by the God of Bewbs....
I still say Species was supposed to be almost a prequel to the Xenomorph alien movies, where the "aliens" were the engineers, why it was a mathematical equation to CREATE a species, but because humans were idiots, it wasn't the bioengineered. Where I still LOVE the contrast with Aliens and predators (yatua) as the conflicted aliens, where they're like Doomsday (adaptation) with xenomorphs (Parademons), where its evolution vs Bioengineering.
Yeah I've been thinking that for awhile, that Sil would fit well as a bio weapon sent by the Engineers, and that had done similar on Mars at some point
Saying she’s a predator because her eyes are upfront is stupid. All humans have their eyes upfront and she’s made with human DNA!
Humans are predators though
@@RoanokeGaming that’s my point. It didn’t need to be said. The planet is full of predators.
I actually had an idea for Alien vs Predator in which during the movies conflict, the big twist is one of the Species show up.
That would be pretty cool, they would fit in well with the Xenomorphs really
I think in the 2nd movie eve only helped because she developed stalk home syndrom 😂
So mass effect species review when?
I have been sporadically doing it! need to do more
@@RoanokeGaming know its a black mark on the series but the kett from andromeda would be interesting.
I am reminded of the game "all humans must die" in which we learn the aliens that come to invade need human's to recreate their ability to breed.
So I wonder if that was the thing here? Putting out feelers all over the place to find a species that can bond with their own DNA. This species might have been long dead, as earth just getting a signal with the information.
So its less an invasion and more of re population...
On the bodies of the creatures they came from.
Genetic monster from Leviathan?
Writing that one down!
@@RoanokeGaming Yo for real? Let's go!
@Roanoke Gaming I know this has nothing to do with this video but can you cover marvel zombies and the dc comics deceased both are zombie viruses please it would be amazing also Z nation would be amazing
dont care if its a reupload i will watch anything you make Roanoke always makes my day.
Competition for resources is fierce even here on earth. It would be even worse on a galactic scale. So far, humanity has the best planet in the known universe to live upon.
As the species, they might actually be a bioweapon used by a more advanced alien race as a means of eliminating competition for resources.
Interesting piece of info, H.R. Giger designed the alien form which is straight out nightmare fuel, the guy is the best at what he does.
For those that don't know he designed the iconic xenomorph in the Alien franchise.
obligatory comment to help with the algorithm
I'm convinced that Mama Susan is the alien from species 🤔🤔
Shes coming for you now lmao
The initial 'Young Adult" actress in SPECIES 1 is actually the same actress that plays Eddie Brock's Lawyer ex-Girlfriend Ann in the VENOM movies.

Damn, for a moment I thought I had psychically seen into the future and watched the video already, then I read the description and reality was affirmed; just re-uploaded.
Any chance you can do an episode on Pandorum? Probably not much there but given the psychosis and the creatures, it's like two different scientific studies in one decent horror movie.

Another thing about a multi-planet civilization dealing with asteroids is the likely hood that they could have the resources needed to halt that potential meteorite from ever hitting the earth by virtue of having a standing response team to react to incidents like this, all that's required is a strong enough kinetic force and you can divert an asteroid away from earth, or better yet divert the rock to orbit around the planet instead of hitting it (Likely at a distance that 1 doesn't hit the moon 2 doesn't alter the tidal pull of earth too much), then stripping it for resources, all well building the beginnings of an artificial ring to put around the planet as a spaceport.
I am neither a time traveler nor an Alien planting the idea in someone's head to ensure the path for humanity is long and prosperous. Now excuse my Atlantean Taco Bell is getting cold.
The fourth film is lighter on story but does add more lore to the series. Since I like lore I found the film to be ok.
I mean, I would be tempted. I would give her no reason to kill me, and really would see promise in the genetic upgrade if the overpopulation concern could be alleviated.

I remember watching this on accident for the first time on Sci-Fi will flipping thru channels at my grandma’s house after 11pm back in ‘98. Species horrified 5 year old me and Sil/Natasha was my bisexual/childhood awakening and cemented my blonde preference
