    The 38 people returning to the Pit is a lot more tragic than sinister actually. According to Trevor's QnA from November 2021 they were just survivors who rushed back to desperately search for loved ones and friends who were still trapped (and likely already dead) in the Pit.
    That's something I like about the disaster. Ultimately the monster didn't really do anything wrong or malicious. The 2007 tragedy was all our own fault. It choked on water pouring into its lungs because our equipment failed, then got sick and threw up because we filled it drugs to make it stop coughing. None of which would've happened if park management hadn't extended operating hours.
    All those people died because of human error, not the Lovecraftian horror beneath the Earth.

    • @robonator2945
      @robonator2945 24 дня назад +15

      exactly. What's really annoying to me is everyone acts like this is lovecraftian horror or example of human arrogance, but it's really not. The entire point of lovecraftian horror is that there are things beyond our comprehension that we can't even hope to do anything about, so greater than us that they're not even subject to the same limitations of existance as us. But this? No, we won. Our technology let us successfully meet and overcome the new environment, and we did it so well that an entire economy was spun up in it's organs. If I have a hotel operating inside of your nuts, you aren't the one in charge here.
      Is it any more dangerous than early coal mines? Is it any more dangerous than going to space? Is it any more dangerous than going to the top of a mountain? Is it any more dangerous than getting in a giant metal tube and hoping to magically levitate to your destination by just running *_reaaaallllly_* fast and then hoping air pushes you up on it's own? What about getting in a giant metal tube and hoping to float your way across a body of water so large that we've still not been able to map even a fraction of it - so large that if you don't bring your own water, you'd die of dehydration before reaching the other side? (even faster if you try to drink it because it's entirely made of water that makes you more thirsty.)
      This wasn't a tragedy because of the dragon, it was a tragedy because of a perfect storm, arguably not even human error. The miners weren't necessarily in the wrong for taking on a bit of overtime, the resort wasn't necessarily in the wrong for letting people stay a bit longer than they would normally, etc. It was just a perfect storm of people making independently reasonable decisions, that none the less had disasterous consequences when put in just the wrong circumstances. If any one thing had been different there wouldn't have been any issues. If it hadn't been July 4th? No issues. If there hadn't of been a storm? No issues. If the miners were already off for the holiday? No issues. If the relay didn't fail? No issues. If the pump didn't fail? No issues. If communications had been better? No issues.
      It's arguably an example of human stupidity, but not arrogance or, necessarily, lovecraftian horror. If it woke up before we found it? Yeah, I could see an argument for lovecraftian horror, but we already got inside of it before it so much as rolled over. It's hard to be horrified of something when you're holding the detonator to a bomb in it's lungs. I mean, the thing's organs are about as big as human megastructures, which also means that they're small enough to be utterly devastated by nuclear devices. Whatever skin the thing may or may not have would probably be resillient to warheads, but I doubt it has nuke-proof guts if a few metal stints can hold open it's muscles and it has a noticable immune reaction to human attempts to drug it.

      this is why the whole "testament to human arrogance" angle really doesn't make sense to me. What happened in the pit is no different than something like the the Hindenberg, plane crashes, any number of coal-mine explosions, etc.
      If a single catastrophe is evidence that the entire thing is an intrinsically dangerous activity and humans are stepping too far in their arrogance, rendered blind to god's warnings that we should stop by our own greed and stupidity, then you're free to think that... but personally? Well personally I'd call that an example of Titanically flawed reasoning; hardly unsinkable logic in even the best case scenario. I mean, you can cruise along living your life however you want, whatever floats your boat and all that, but it's a perspective which really only scrapes the top of the iceberg, I mean it's so deeply flawed I'd argue only maybe a sixth of it would be recoverable. The rest though is just flooded with fallacies and logical leaps that make it feel closer to half of an argument that got 15 steps in before calling it quits.
      Have I made my point yet? *_People go on cruises all of the fucking time, the Titanic sinking doesn't mean it's a fundamentally dangerous activity that man should know not to broach._* The disaster of the pit is really no different to any other disaster in any other endeavour throughout human history and saying that every disaster is emblematic of human arrogance is as stupid as it is prevalent. Nuclear power for instance is quite literally as-safe or even safer than solar (I'd argue safer by a wide margin due to the additional indirect casualties associated with such widespread reliance on intermittent power sources.) yet people still think it's super dangerous because of things like Chernobyl, Fukushima or, always the funniest, 3 Mile Island. Only 1 of which was a significant disaster, with one of the others killing more people in the evacuation than the disaster itself ever would have, and the final of which neither killing nor injuring anybody. (well, unless we count deaths as a result of stress-related illnesses induced of all of the unnecessary paperwork and red tape all future nuclear projects had/have to deal with)

      Unofficial, but it's too good to not mention (and is my personal headcanon): At least some of the people that went back in were addicted to the amniotic fluid and wanted one last fix.

      Aw that's a shame. I actually think the idea that these people WANT to go back in there makes it far more creepy and mysterious. The idea of people willingly do something that moments ago they were fighting for their lives to avoid is a trope I really like. It raises so many questions about what has happened to their minds and what other forces are at play that are beyond our comprehension.
      Wanting to go back to rescue loved ones is obviously still horrifying but it's in a more of a real-world tragic kind of way as opposed to an unknowable/incomprehensible horror kind of way. But then maybe this whole thing is better if we just consider it a huge living creature rather than anything supernatural with any kind of psychic abilities or anything. I guess it depends whether you're more interested in "what if we discovered this new huge life form?" vs "What if we discovered a god-like Great Old One style entity that is unfathomably old and utterly alien to us?". I'm a big fan of cosmic horror with supernatural elements, so I'm more drawn to the latter, but both options are still very Lovecraftian so I'm a fan either way.

    @DAEsaster 11 месяцев назад +24

    It's funny that in your intro, you open with "horror settings that are familiar settings" as like...the vanilla. The start. Because, at least as far as movies go, horror was usually about being a fish out of water. You go to the black lagoon. You go to Dracula's castle. You go somewhere far from home, from which you may not return. Which I feel is intrinsically linked to human curiosity and exploration.
    HOWEVER, many people cite Night of the Living Dead as one of the first movies to popularize danger closer to home. The horror could happen in small-town america. Domestic terror, probably in response to the likes of Manson. The slasher genre really took this and ran with it.
    I agree that setting and atmosphere is probably the most important aspect of horror. But I think that it's easier to make something unfamiliar scary, than it is to twist the familiar into being scary. That's why I tend to love stuff like FNAF, or haunted dolls, or corrupted TV stations, or zombie outbreaks. It makes home feel unsafe....(Omg I'm having an emotional breakthrough about my childhood rn)

      There were a couple compounds that looked hopeful but are unresearched, and other than that just amphetamines, which come with a bunch of nasty effects.

    I always come back to this video, it's really become a comfort video for me and i believe is the first video i found from Wendigoon, probably around when it came out. I was also obsessed with the Mandela Catalogue and finding your videos on it was so exciting. Cute watching this for the 4th or so time when you're so grateful and happy for having 430k subs. Look at you now, almost 3.5 million. We need more creators like Wendigoon! Thanks for doing what you do!

    The thing that caught me off guard the most was when i looked up the organism chart thinking it's like "oh they probably ripped this off of an old science book for fauna from the past" but no, it's all Flesh pit. and as it goes on i can't help but be blown away by how dedicated they are to illustrate this alternate reality in a way that makes you think "yeah Disney would've definitely done this". From the map to the warning signs, everything just breaths this aura that someone was commissioned by a wealthy park tycoon to showcase the grandeur and magnificence of his empire. In an age where ARG and horror stories content consists almost entirely of altered existing content, this makes me feel like i've just discovered horror all over again.

      Kinda like "the CSA" from a few years ago, a "documentary" from another universe that just...popped its way over to ours somehow, and its played entirely straight, just casually mentioning things that we have NO CLUE ABOUT because it didnt happen in our universe, but EVERYONE there knows it, so they have no need to explain it...
