Fun fact about the borehole. Because of the heat and pressure at that depth the rock acted more like plastic then magma or solid rock which directly led to the failure of the drills they were using

I saw a video covering this topic & the difficulties Around it. It covered this new possible drilling tech that uses high powered ruby Lasers that are able to bore a small hole & cauterize the walls of the hole. The thing is they are highly energy demanding. It's at least a possibility of a future advancement in bore hole drilling & dealing with the issues we've seen so far.. could help us tap into geothermal power in more locations around the globe.
Appalachian here, the most unrealistic thing about this movie is that an entire town was taken. The Force Multiplier per human ratio here is roughly 3.5 to 1.
That’s actually not an image of the super deep bore hole. The actual hole is only a few inches in diameter, and has a metal cap bolted over the top of it. It’s actually very interesting. The project only ended when the got so deep that the rock started behaving more like plastic than stone.
The queen using human genetic material to make her drones would also go a ways to explaining how they developed venom perfect for incapacitating humans without killing them. It was literally by design. Thanks for the content as always Roanoke. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
As someone who lives in the Pacific NW, yeah, the Appalachian mountains are people's go-to spooky mountains for some reason, even though the Rockies, Cascades, and the Sierra Nevadas are all arguably FAR scarier if you're stuck out there in them.
@@Rednekdash The other mentioned mountain ranges are generally far more remote than the Appalachians, for starters. They're also bigger than the Appalachians, (at least the Rockies and Cascades are, dunno about the Sierra Nevadas) making them much harder to travel on foot and putting hikers and climbers more at risk of landslides, flash floods, etc. The Appalachians do seem darker at night because of the abundance of deciduous trees in the region that make a lower, thick canopy. The PNW on the other hand is mostly tall conifers and old growth, which lets a bit more light in through the canopy in most spots, but it can still get pitch black in the thicker woods, or on cloudier or foggy nights, which happens fairly often. The Sierra Nevadas are a whole other can of worms; less trees, not as creepy to look at, but if you're stuck out there in them, good fucking luck. Dehydration will be your worst enemy, but rattlesnakes, scorpions, and the generally inhospitable, rocky terrain will definitely compound your problems if you tackle them unprepared.
@@Rednekdashthe scary part about the appalachians isn’t the wildlife or the remoteness (though bears and some cougars don’t mess around) it’s more about the folklore, and living at the foothills of the range, they always feel like something is off. they are also super old and just generally feel unwelcoming
I like the HxH Chimera Ant theory as well! A very interesting one and helps to explain a lot about possibly their origins, mannerisms, characteristics, etc. This was very well done, Thanks!
The idea of insects mating with humans is literally one of my greatest nightmares. I watched a few scenes from that giant bug anime and the scene of the women getting filled with eggs has left a permanent mental scar
Yep that would do it tho the next worst thing would be bug crawling inside of I either through the skin or mouth, nose, ears and even eyes that’s nightmare fuel
Me too! Except my fear started with me being jumpscared by tentacle/egg laying h*nt*i by a stranger online. I have luckily not seen any with bugs, so I count myself blessed. The idea of a human being filled with eggs is so gross! We do have eggs, but it's the forceful implantation that grosses me out
Haha yeah wouldn't that just be terrible, to be filled with eggs and cocooned by some insect human hybrid, or maybe being restrained by some sort of female humam insect hybrid and milked for your seed to sire the next generation of her race, totally scary haha, how terrifying.
@@JDM-is-my-name I have a friend who likes to occasionally hit me with those just to get a reaction out of me because its borderline the same thing in my mind 🥲
As someone who lives in deep rural Appalachia. It is scary. The thing to it is that unlike a range of large younger mountains... the Appalachia's are claustrophobic. And they feel old. That age is kinda what makes them scary. But I love them all the same.
I don’t live in the Appalachias but I’ve visited many times and can always see them from were I live and there’s truly nothing cooler than seeing these ancient blue mountains looming in the distance it makes it feel like I’m being watched over
#1 rule of Appalachia: if you hear something in the woods, no you didn’t. Don’t investigate and just go on with your life. Unless your dog is in trouble, then rip and tear until it is done.
Roanoke me boi. You're always uploading. Don't forget to enjoy the outside now that it's cooled down. Stay hydrated and keep your nutrition up. Be peak American.
There is a film called Cold Skin if I’m remembering correctly that has aquatic humanoids and was wondering if you might cover that in the future. The movie gave me some Lovecraftian vibes mostly because of psychological horror throughout, but the creatures themselves were intriguing.
The car you couldn't remember the name of is an older Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I appreciate your taste in vehicles, as well as your takes on most of these movies
As a French student in microbiology, I'm happy to see that mocking Geologists is something universal to all biologists from any culture. But like you said, maybe we do need the rock lickers at least sometimes
Roanoke, your superpower is filling in the science holes of script writers and design artists. Have you ever thought of adding a plausibility rating to your videos grading the possibility the creatures you breakdown could even exist? Even doing like a quarterly round-up ranking/rating video might be cool if you ever want to add new dynamics to what you do. Love your vids, man. Keep it up.
His videos are already interesting. Just my option but those ratings, grading etc, i see so often in many youtube videos make them look cheap and hokey.
A couple of the scenes where they are underground was actually filmed at a flooded limestone mine located in RRG kentucky. They actually offer kayaking tours through the mine and its pretty cool. If you are interested its called "The Gorge Underground"
The last guy there, if I'm not mistaken after having just watched this. His eyes had started to darken again, making me think he got stabbed and venom was kicking in again. In that case it makes sense to cut himself free. But yeah really a lot of these folks just couldn't want to throw themselves to their doom in the film! :D
Discuss the fungal zombies in "Gaia". It was a surprisingly decent film about folks going nutters native in the woods amongst the awakening of a horrid, gestalt fungus.
Despite me loving everything about Roanoke's humor my favorite kind has to be when he boldly addresses and pisses off the haters or people who would disagree with his comments. It's great.
I believe your mystery vehicle was an old Jeep Wagoneer. As a kid in SW PA, we called them "woody wagons". Love your movie analysis. Please consider covering Deep Rising and Frankensteins Army, please and thanks.
This movie caught me by surprise a year or two ago. It really grew on me and by the finale I was like, "oh, this is a hero origin story. She's the new defender." Wouldn't have minded a sequel to this.
Question for you Roanoke. Would it be hypothetically possible for a similar species or complex ecosystem to exist deep underground? I know this might require you to talk to some geologist, but it's for the likes!
Wouldn't be the type of complex ecosystems you encounter on the surface thats for sure. I could see small ecosystems built from chemosynthesis bacteria, but oxygen would probably still be required for a bigger ecosystem like on thermal vents to evolve.
There are numerous underground and complex cave ecosystems. Not with more developed forms of life seen in the film, but as complex as anything in the oceans or surface. Via the BBC and the legendary Sir Attenborough: ua-cam.com/video/NGtzSd3wFY4/v-deo.html
@@shadeymcbones6707 interesting. I like the idea of finding a "pocket ecosystem" somewhere in the Earth's crust, but I know that is very Hollywood! Lol Do you think we would discover some type of ancient bacteria, or possible fungus that would wreak havoc on us?
I follow a small number of channels that do what you do. Bring real-world biology or psychology into movies and shows. Sometimes this can, for lack of a better word 'debunk' something. But sometimes it can add so much more depth to something that could so easily be taken at face value.
I think that the queen is more like a hive of parasites that uses hosts to maintain them, similar to what goes on with the las plagas in resident evil or the movie "the cave"
Love hearing how Indepth you explain creatures where as I immediately resort to the true blue method of man and use the modern rock thrower 9000 force multiplier that keeps us at the top.

After the Michigan dog man hunt an inquisition of the angler fish is necessary. Great video Roanoke, keep it up man :D you save many of my afternoons at work while I'm coding stuff
Reminder to self if I'm ever published: let Roanoke Gaming make sense of my creatures/world building and then just say "yes, precisely, that was always my plan"
I'm going to use that reminder as well! But hopefully the explanations I would have already provided will be proven correct. (Even though I'd do a lot of research to make sure I'm not talking out my ass)...
Found this channel 2 days ago and it is quickly becoming one of my favourite channels on UA-cam lol I love the deep dives of these movie and game creatures and the banter is top tier 🤣
There's a very interesting similar case to your most likely hypothesis in the anime Hunter X Hunter (2011) in it's final arc. The Chimera Ant arc is about a species of ant that incorporates the DNA of consumed species and the singularity event is the moment it successfully incorporated humans into the genome. Don't know if you'd ever cover an anime monster species, but there's actually a lot of competent science injected into the material alongside the sci-fi and supernatural aspects.

@RoanokeGaming Just recently stumbled on your channel and I've been binge watching your content for the past few days. Love the fact that you delve into the physiology of various science fiction cryptids; half the time I become so engrossed in the biology/science lesson I completely forget the video is about a creature in a film or video game. I'd love to see you cover the delightful biology of the slugs/hive mind amalgamation from the movie "Slither." Definitely an underrated creature feature, plus Michael Rooker, Elizabeth Banks, and I think...Jason Bateman? are in it. Big fan of Michael Rooker, haha.
@@RoanokeGaming Yes, you did! For some reason I missed it scrolling through. I definitely watched it today and realized I was wrong about it being Jason Bateman as well. 😄 I'm really digging the content, my dude. Thank you for spreading awesome. 😎
It never ceases to amaze me how you occasionally weave your hatred and fear of angler fish into your videos. Truly a fine craft that isn't easily achieved.
Roanoke can you do a video on (The Strain) please? if you haven't seen "The Strain" i think you would enjoy it and i would love a video on the series. Its 4 seasons but definitely worth the watch. Roanoke your the man we really love your videos. Also great video bro as usual it was great!
God, I remember watching this movie with some of my buddies like over a year ago. It was something else, though it's cool seeing you give the critters in this movie a look.
Journey to the Center of the Earth is an interesting book to revisit today for how fascinating the ideas in it are compared to what we more or less know is below the Earth's crust. Science fiction is fun, huh?
I know it's not a movie, and also not yet a game... But I'd love to see you cover the Tyrannids from 40K ^^ Maybe wait until Space Marine 2 comes out, gives you a nice support.
What a gem of a video. Normally I have UA-cam as background noise. With your videos I would listen only at first. Then found myself going back to rewatch because of the scene cuts. But this one deserved third re-watch. Third was specifically just for the puns that seem to be abundant in this one! English isn't my first language so your figure of speech is fascinating! Long live the borehole king!
The creatures remind me ALOT of the tunnelers from fallout new vegas, humanoid and using venom, they used to live underground until the ground was cracked by war and they went up, or some think they are mutated humans
I live in Brazil, i would like to keep my carreer in the automation and IT, but due to circumstances that will not be possible, i need to help my family, and due to some knowledge in mechanics, im currently working fixing mining equipment,(mostly iron and bauxite), that part that you speak about mining workers, put a smile on my face, TY roanoke
If they're a combination of dna wouldn't that make them a major threat since they could absorb the dna of creatures that are a nightmare to deal with like mosquitoes and cockroaches
Their probably too small, physically. The queen wouldn't probably even realize something is in here mouth to swallow it or probably just try to spit it out. They have no motivation to combine with species that are too small for sustain them nutrition wise.
Love your videos! If you're looking for a good show with lots of content you could cover, you should look at Scavengers Reign. It'd be cool to see you breakdown some of the wildlife the show comes up with.
I vaguely remember watching this and thinking about your channel. I fell asleep constantly during the movie, because it felt like the one movie you reviewed a while ago (the cave water virus one with the jerk scientists), mixed with The Descent, and being more boring than both. Your breakdown is currently far more appealing to watch.
man ive been watching you for so long. it's crazy how close you are to hitting 1million subs. you deserve it, papa roanoke (also as a fellow science nerd (getting my degree in physics) i really relate to being super outgoing amongst a crowd of people super introverted)
Please do a video on how much tech a person can replace their body with before the brain rejects it. Like the Adeptus Mechanicus 40k, robo cop, or cyberpunk.
'Are these mountains scary to the average british person' Actually yes, yes they are. I've known a few british people and for some reason every one of them I've met seems to think that any place that isn't a major city is full of crazed gun toting lunatics that are just looking for an excuse to delete theme. This is, of course, the height of irony given crime statistics.
Hey love your videos dude . Always loved and had a fascination with genealogy and microbiology and wanted to kinda personally ask how best to get into the field and what direction to go into for schooling and whatnot. Keep the heat coming!!
Just watched this movie tonight and it was a blast! What a great creature feature! Definitely a must watch in my opinion! Always enjoy characters played by Will Patton.
Hey, Roanoke. Just wanted to thank you for getting me through three years of my toxic job - I’d listen to your videos(all channels) while working and ignore the comments and bullying. Sometimes, I’d even rewatch videos because your voice, jokes and knowledge were comforting and interesting. Thank you broski!
They appear human-like because a few extras in goofy suits are easier on the film's budget than CGI of creatures that actually make sense biologically.
This reminds me a movie I saw on sci-fi channel, creatures moved underground and ate buffalo but started hunting people since we killed off their food supply. They had a venomous bite too, can’t remember the name of it though.

2:30 Thanks Mr. Roanoke, making it feel like my time in the rock quarry is worth it. Love your stuff man!
We love you bro
No homo ofc
Thank you for all your work!
I have to say this is the best explanation for “guy in a suit” special effects. Appreciate the time you put into it.
Outlander (Movie 2008) Please Roanoke, Its a Beowulf movie where "Grendel" is a huge alien monster attacking a Viking village.
what’s that ringing noise that pops up every few minutes?? trying to play mind games? lol. love the content bro! keep up the great work!
I can’t wait until he does a movie about some kind of angler fish monster
Soon enough, wretched abominations
@@RoanokeGaming well... there's a weird merman (downright angler mf) on The Cabin in the Woods.
After the Michigan dog man hunt an inquisition of the angler fish is necessary. Great video Roanoke, keep it up man :D you save many of my afternoons at work while I'm coding stuff
Reminder to self if I'm ever published: let Roanoke Gaming make sense of my creatures/world building and then just say "yes, precisely, that was always my plan"
I can!
I'm going to use that reminder as well! But hopefully the explanations I would have already provided will be proven correct. (Even though I'd do a lot of research to make sure I'm not talking out my ass)...
Found this channel 2 days ago and it is quickly becoming one of my favourite channels on UA-cam lol I love the deep dives of these movie and game creatures and the banter is top tier 🤣
There's a very interesting similar case to your most likely hypothesis in the anime Hunter X Hunter (2011) in it's final arc. The Chimera Ant arc is about a species of ant that incorporates the DNA of consumed species and the singularity event is the moment it successfully incorporated humans into the genome.
Don't know if you'd ever cover an anime monster species, but there's actually a lot of competent science injected into the material alongside the sci-fi and supernatural aspects.
There is a deep sea snailfish that uses DNA of dead fauna to repair there genome so it is very plausible.
> anime
lol, lmao even
was scrolling the comments to see if anyone else thought of the Chimera Ant arc
done scrolling now though
My man be out here hating on anglerfish when cookie cutter sharks exist
We love when Roanoke posts. Why? Because he's our true blooded American who's actually got some brains.
A very hard thing to find, is a north american with brains.
finally... a intelligent american... hes our savior cause i didnt even pass highschool in texas so we should make him our leader
I love when he describes himself something like "violently American." like when he admits he can't pronounce things like a native speaker of other countries.
Rah.
@@Not_a_b-1_Battle_Droid rah.
I love your humor in these! Always a treat to watch youbreak movies down with the science
The final option you described are basically the Chimera ants from Hunter x Hunter.
"bro, what's that white sticky stuff coming out of your shoe?"
"Oh, that's just my shookum"
Awesome video dude! I hope the next one is for the tardigrade monster from harbinger down!
The queen using genetic material to make her drones more powerful/adapted gives me HELLA Chimera Ant from HunterXHunter vibes.
"Humanity is so unimportant all evidence of it will be erased in 100,000 years. Except for the megatons of immutable evidence locked in a specific layer."
Bro giving us whiplash
33:38 You're basically describing the Chimera Ants from HxH. It's not horror, but you should make a video about them... They're so interesting.
The consistency and natural improvement over 3 years is crazy man, its awesome man, keep inspiring people to get where they need to be. GA boys for life
@RoanokeGaming Just recently stumbled on your channel and I've been binge watching your content for the past few days. Love the fact that you delve into the physiology of various science fiction cryptids; half the time I become so engrossed in the biology/science lesson I completely forget the video is about a creature in a film or video game. I'd love to see you cover the delightful biology of the slugs/hive mind amalgamation from the movie "Slither." Definitely an underrated creature feature, plus Michael Rooker, Elizabeth Banks, and I think...Jason Bateman? are in it. Big fan of Michael Rooker, haha.
I actually have!
@@RoanokeGaming Yes, you did! For some reason I missed it scrolling through. I definitely watched it today and realized I was wrong about it being Jason Bateman as well. 😄 I'm really digging the content, my dude. Thank you for spreading awesome. 😎
It never ceases to amaze me how you occasionally weave your hatred and fear of angler fish into your videos. Truly a fine craft that isn't easily achieved.
So Option 3 is just the Chimera Ants from Hunter x Hunter? I'd love to see an episode on them at some point, by the way.
Roanoke can you do a video on (The Strain) please? if you haven't seen "The Strain" i think you would enjoy it and i would love a video on the series. Its 4 seasons but definitely worth the watch. Roanoke your the man we really love your videos. Also great video bro as usual it was great!
God, I remember watching this movie with some of my buddies like over a year ago. It was something else, though it's cool seeing you give the critters in this movie a look.
Dude your edits never cease to crack me up, the "hey now" followed by a pic of Steven Harwell had me rolling
At first, as you introduced this flick, it reminded me of "9 Miles Down". But that movie was all hallucination.
catching up with recent Roanoke videos and cackling when the angler fish Vendetta comes back up from a previous one. Love this ❤
Journey to the Center of the Earth is an interesting book to revisit today for how fascinating the ideas in it are compared to what we more or less know is below the Earth's crust. Science fiction is fun, huh?
I know it's not a movie, and also not yet a game... But I'd love to see you cover the Tyrannids from 40K ^^ Maybe wait until Space Marine 2 comes out, gives you a nice support.
I get the vibe that Roanoke doesn’t like angler fish 😂😂😂, this is my new favorite joke from this channel
What a gem of a video. Normally I have UA-cam as background noise. With your videos I would listen only at first. Then found myself going back to rewatch because of the scene cuts. But this one deserved third re-watch. Third was specifically just for the puns that seem to be abundant in this one! English isn't my first language so your figure of speech is fascinating! Long live the borehole king!
The creatures remind me ALOT of the tunnelers from fallout new vegas, humanoid and using venom, they used to live underground until the ground was cracked by war and they went up, or some think they are mutated humans
Their considered abomination, so I think they're man made and hidden in a super deep facility before the great war
I live in Brazil, i would like to keep my carreer in the automation and IT, but due to circumstances that will not be possible, i need to help my family, and due to some knowledge in mechanics, im currently working fixing mining equipment,(mostly iron and bauxite), that part that you speak about mining workers, put a smile on my face, TY roanoke
Im sure a future civilization would notice all the space debris
That's true. Space debris and plastic. What a great legacy
Awesome video. Thanks for using the App State University stock footage. It was a nice surprise.
If they're a combination of dna wouldn't that make them a major threat since they could absorb the dna of creatures that are a nightmare to deal with like mosquitoes and cockroaches
@@user-ye4bu6xh4c Flying smart vampire daggers does sound like a nightmare and a half.
Their probably too small, physically. The queen wouldn't probably even realize something is in here mouth to swallow it or probably just try to spit it out. They have no motivation to combine with species that are too small for sustain them nutrition wise.
2:00 I've been wondering about that too.
Love your videos! If you're looking for a good show with lots of content you could cover, you should look at Scavengers Reign. It'd be cool to see you breakdown some of the wildlife the show comes up with.
What's it about?
THat station wagon looking car is a Rambler I believe.
I vaguely remember watching this and thinking about your channel.
I fell asleep constantly during the movie, because it felt like the one movie you reviewed a while ago (the cave water virus one with the jerk scientists), mixed with The Descent, and being more boring than both.
Your breakdown is currently far more appealing to watch.
man ive been watching you for so long. it's crazy how close you are to hitting 1million subs. you deserve it, papa roanoke (also as a fellow science nerd (getting my degree in physics) i really relate to being super outgoing amongst a crowd of people super introverted)
Please do a video on how much tech a person can replace their body with before the brain rejects it. Like the Adeptus Mechanicus 40k, robo cop, or cyberpunk.
Im so glad you covered this! I only watched it recently and was disappointed when i couldnt watch your breakdown after
The jokes in this video are so good, even for Roanoke's standards. Please keep this up!
I gotta say, I love that you use THE RIGHT kinds of measurements, anything but standard. Those heathen units are disgusting!
'Are these mountains scary to the average british person' Actually yes, yes they are. I've known a few british people and for some reason every one of them I've met seems to think that any place that isn't a major city is full of crazed gun toting lunatics that are just looking for an excuse to delete theme. This is, of course, the height of irony given crime statistics.
Id love to see you discuss the creatures from Dark Pictures: House of Ashes
The Geologists first mistake was going to Appalachia, everyone knows that it's Wendigoon's territory.
The consistent vendetta against anglerfish has me howling.
Hey love your videos dude . Always loved and had a fascination with genealogy and microbiology and wanted to kinda personally ask how best to get into the field and what direction to go into for schooling and whatnot. Keep the heat coming!!
Just watched this movie tonight and it was a blast! What a great creature feature! Definitely a must watch in my opinion! Always enjoy characters played by Will Patton.
Do you think you could scientifically explain the Venom symbiote? Yes this is phrased as a challenge
5:18 the Defender 90 is my fav of those back in the day.
Your hatred of angler fish is hilarious
Hey, Roanoke. Just wanted to thank you for getting me through three years of my toxic job - I’d listen to your videos(all channels) while working and ignore the comments and bullying. Sometimes, I’d even rewatch videos because your voice, jokes and knowledge were comforting and interesting.
Thank you broski!
The editing in these latest videos are all top notch, like a 68 mustang fastback
They appear human-like because a few extras in goofy suits are easier on the film's budget than CGI of creatures that actually make sense biologically.
This reminds me a movie I saw on sci-fi channel, creatures moved underground and ate buffalo but started hunting people since we killed off their food supply. They had a venomous bite too, can’t remember the name of it though.

The vehicle that escapes your name placement is a classic Jeep Wagoneer (SJ). Love the 4x4s in this film. Land Rover's Defender is an absolute unit.
Chimera ant arc hunter x hunter anyone ❤😂😅
The drive by “if you want to know what’s really down in the dark an can’t see thats horrific. It’s an angler fish” got me
The vehicle chasing them that came to a gradual stop, looks like a grand Cherokee, or a grand Wagoneer, which is kind of like a grand Cherokee made by Jeep..
I could be wrong, but that’s what it looks like
