    In my recollection she picked him out with intent to kill him but she was interrupted in the middle by the friends. She wasn't trying to "save" him with the affliction, she was justifying the killings for herself by taking out people who were going to die anyway. Perhaps I was mistaken but that's the way I took it when I watched it.

      My dad had a brain aneurysm 17 years ago, it hasn't burst yet but I think it was about to when they found it. They were able to put a stint (stent?) and coils to keep it from killing him. But while they were doing that they got to watch a blood clot break lose and started pumping him full of medication before he started having the stroke. Quite a few of the staff had said they'd never had seen a stroke happen on inside in real time so it was a nice learning experience for all.

  • @WNJackAttack
    @WNJackAttack 2 роки тому +523

    I think there's a different angle to Maurice and why he was taken down by Derrick so easily. From what I understood in the movie, Derrick wasn't supposed to come back as a vampire but the OG vampire woman had been attempting to turn Maurice as payment for him getting rid of her victims bodies.
    Maurice was so pissed because his body wasn't accepting the virus, and he didn't understand why she would give the gift of vampirism to some rando who hadn't done anything for her. I believe he was still very much human at the time he finds Derrick in his apartment, and he was terrified of Derrick because he maybe hadn't seen the vampire girl in her feral state previously.

    I totally love how you break all these down and make them plausible via your in-depth education.
    At the end of the video, you said you love our input that could add to your perspective. I am paraphrasing and adding inference.
    When a supernatural being that's a super-regenerator, if science is to be applied, I picture it as the micro-biome taking over via a far more structured way where a viral and prion infection alters it to be akin to each cell being superiorly evolved like the amoeba. Each one being like a tiny electrochemical charged computer on a network of trillions, with the information control of each cell being akin to a super-computer.
    That would not only explain the super-fast healing, but the bioforming and the unusual weaknesses too (the cost of the alterations). That would also make it so nothing is lost, including memories, if the body has the resources to rebuild and reanimate.

    Considering how specialized the virus is. It might have cells specially made for storing all needed information in the brain as head injuries would be pretty common given the amount of jumping and climbing the vampire does along with the fact that some victims not disabled before feeding would likely strike at the head.

    Hey, love the channel.
    Just one thing: I don’t know what your editing process is, but you might want to check how you edit your audio. It isn’t anything major, but there are times when it pops. It sounds like you are cutting audio segments where the audio waveform isn’t at a zero point.
    An example can be found at 15:40.
    This can be pretty easily fixed in a couple of ways.
    1. You can add an audio crossfade at the beginning and end of the audio file.
    2. Some editing programs let you insert silence.
    3. Just zoom in really close on your audio waveform and pick a spot where the polarity of the wave is at zero and cut there.
    Again, this isn’t a major issue. You make great videos. It just might be something to watch out for.
    Thank you for all the interesting content. I appreciate the reader’s digest movie experience and the really intelligent analysis of the biology of the subjects.

      @@RoanokeGaming Yeah, that is true. Could be the equipment.
      Might want to check out your wires, audio interface, microphone, etc. Maybe even check out the drivers you have installed.
      If it is a driver issue then you might be able to save some money by either installing a new driver or rolling back to a more stable previous version.
      Either way it isn’t that big of a problem. I think the popping only happens like once or twice in this video.
      I only took notice because I work with digital audio workstations a lot and it has made me an audio technology nerd.
      Anyway, keep up the great work!

    If your bones are significantly harder, like mine(LRP5 mutant here), there actually can be more negative effects than people realize. Later in life, certain bones can no longer be held in place properly, causing severe chronic pain, particularly in the neck, lower joints(knees and ankles)and back. As well as the minor buoyancy issue you mentioned, is not so minor... I sink like a rock, putting me at a significantly higher risk of drowning than others. The most notable annoyance would be that your limbs fall "asleep" much faster than normal, and stay that way longer, making it very important to not be sedentary in lifestyle.

(got carpal tunnel before my super slow puberty could strengthen that area. only got on trt recently in my 30s and trust me its weird to have body stuff catching up suddenly).
      i however didnt know that is likely the cause of my noodle ankles though. things just slide sideways randomly making me stumble and fall sometimes when walking. upside is i dont sprain my ankles anymore. downside is my skin hates french kissing concrete.
      as for swimming it sucked, once i reached my adult bone growth i suddenly couldnt maintain flotation. i have to use a wetsuit to generate that flotation to swim at "yay i can survive" levels now. so i would recommend trying one to make things a bit safer in deep water >_

I have to use sunscreen anytime I go out in the sun because I'm on hydroxychloroquine for autoimmune arthritis, and hydroxychloroquine can cause easy skinbyrn (even though I spent all my life hardly ever getting sunburned even without sunscreen, just getting really tan). The medication I'm on can also cause some sort of retinal disease so I have to get my eyes checked every year to make sure my eyes and vision are still good so I can still be on the medication (hopefully I can because it really helps my joints).

    @clayxros576 2 роки тому +6

    Ya know, thinking on the fantasy game "Blooded" and "Unblooded" vampires, coupled with Roanoke's reasoning regarding The Affliction's vampirism, suddenly the entire fantasy genre's take on vampires makes more sense.
    On the onset of infection the body's reinforcement at the behest of the illness takes place, rapidly draining the body's resources and forcing a person to eat numerous other people to keep living. Once a week, for example, to continue the changes. This is why Unblooded vampires tend to be fairly easy to take out, and why Thralls occur. Infected who are weak from changes and don't have enough other humans to heal themselves.
    Once the changes are completed, though, a Blooded vampire can go much longer without feeding. At that point they have more bone to store resources and their body is more stable, allowing longer life and absolute inhuman feats due to the vampirism's augmentations. It's why older vampires are so much harder to kill, and are more dangerous. They're fully stocked, augmented, and used to their new capabilities.
    Really, the most dangerous part about being a vampire is the first year (or so) of infection. If you survive that, you become nearly unstoppable.

    Very interesting breakdown. On the variable density issue, sometimes when things are too dense and rigid they can become more fragile. That's why bridges and tall buildings will have a little bit of sway in the wind and girders are shaped like an H. It's like a little bit of give can make something stronger. Like putting carbon in steel or tin in copper. All of that can be highly variable with material and size though, and I'm sure many of the larger dinosaurs had huge bones that were extremely dense lol. On the brain damage scene, considering the bones started pulling themselves back together so quickly with the healing factor maybe the force multiplier mostly moved things around. Like a bit of parietal, occipital and lizard brain got turned into mom's spaghetti on a smoosh vid for a minute and then just morning gloried itself back together.

    This is such a cool movie, I gotta check it out! Really great video!! Can you discuss the Vampires in the shows Vwars?? I believe those are disease based as well. I just started the first 2 episodes last night and really kinda enjoying it. Kinda weird seeing Damon Salvatore playing a human after seeing him as a vamp in VDiaries for so long. Love love LOVE your videos!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

      It is disease based and sadly the first season is all we'll ever have of it as it was canceled

    I literally watched a video about how this was a great docu/found footage film like 3 days ago. Perfect timing as always Roanoke

    There was a man recently found to have bones eight times as dense as nirmal for a human his age. This unique gene is being looked at to treat various bone diseases.
