Hey guys! Our Twitch channel is now fully operational! Join us twice a week (and sometimes more) for Grand Strategy Saturdays and Wildcard Wednesdays. Last week we had an amazing community game of Wargame: Red Dragon! www.twitch.tv/templininstitute
The Templin Institute are you guys going to do a Gears of War video of the COG at any point. I enjoy your guys videos very much and like to say is keep the work up
Im glad the prawns aren't the typical sci fi alien tropes,they aren't invading Earth,they aren't humans with some weird head spike,on a scale from 0-10 I say they're an 8 for a true alien.
But how do you make a good sequelt? I think a sequel would either be a pointless action movie or a lame thriller. I just don't think they can recreate the feeling of the original.
The trick is to make a different film, not a different version of the same film. A good example is Aliens vs the original Alien, it was the same character and a continuation of the story, but a different style of movie, military action instead of claustrophobic horror. But Alien 3 was just Alien 1 with a different coat of paint. Conservative Hollywood producers would just make someone else gets infected with the alien fluid, but a actual next chapter of the saga could be Christopher returns, with a fleet, to find district 10 with a breeding out of control population being haphazardly run by Vickers, who's the "Prawn mayor". How is a war prevented, and what if instead of human versus alien it's human and alien combined versus humans and aliens seperate. Perhaps being a metaphor for the messy middle east conflicts like Syria, where it's not just one side against another, but an interlocking maze of morally ambiguous factions, like how District 9 was a metaphor for apartheid.
Yes Vivo it does have themes of Apartheid South Africa that is why it's an amazing movie instead of a good one. It's relevant culturally and politically.
A few suggestions. The Psi Corps from Babylon 5 The Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout The Men In Black from Men in Black Weyland Yutani from the Alien franchise
May I add: The Soviet Union (and the Allies) from Command & Conquer Red Alert series. Fazbear Family Entertainment from FNAF. The Separatist Alliance from Star Wars. The Deatheaters from Harry Potter.
I thought MNU collapsed after the District 9 incident, the company fell apart due to public and international pressure and may have lead to it changing its name to Tetravaal the same one from Chappie/ and or Elysium, the technology fits.
Nah. It was too powerful and got away with it. Probably got some flack, covered up the worst of it, made some public statements, ran a PR campaign, and everyone moved on to the next big thing.
Have good memories of this movie, the guy who played Wikus was also the wheelchair guy from Hard Core Henry who was a total bad ass and great voice actor.
Today is June 3 2019 exactly 37 years after they forced themselves onto the mothership. How ironic. And today is the last day to see district 9 on Netflix before it leaves. I just saw it. Amazing movie
You know human could just friend the prawns and take advantage of them like giving prawn facility, and in return prawn have to teach and give human their technology
Damn, we need a sequel. Here's some prayers since suggestions don't work. LDO from visual novel Dies Irae COG from Gears of War Armacham or F.E.A.R. squad from the F.E.A.R. games. Dead Apostle Ancestors from the Nasuverse. Razgriz from Ace Combat 5.
I would love more than anything to do some DoV content, but I'm not sure how popular it is outside of the core fanbase. I imagine the reaction from most people might just be "what the hell is this?"
A few suggestions for you, Templin Institute: -The UAC from Doom. -G-Man from Half-Life - The Diogenes Club from Sherlock Holmes - AM from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
It' was originally going to be the UNSC (From Halo) but that movie was scrapped but the production company still had all of the props/vehicles so they made District 9. Thus we get the a Private miliary company looking like the United Nations with the appropriate but terrible name of MNU.
can't put up the appropriate bri-Donation on patreon but, politely requesting; Decepticons (Transformers) Cybrids (Earthsiege/Starsiege/Tribes) The Gorn hegemony (Star Trek) The Empire of the Hand (Star Wars Legends) Terran Dominion (Starcraft) Thank you for this video, and for reminding me it's high time I rewatch District 9. I'd forgotten just how big and imposing MNU were in this film.
Nicely done video. I'm surprised you delved into a topic such as District 9's MNU. Would we perhaps be seeing more alien-related factions like ADVENT, The Covenant and the Hutt Cartel in future videos?
Oh, what about Crimson Skies! Alternate universe where air power is the dominant mode of transportation! It was a one hit game for the original Xbox and PC.
But the empire of Sigmar is an old world faction... Its the EMPIRE... yah know, the main human faction. The One Sigmar founded... thats why its named after him....
metalheadmartyr Age of Sigmar is objectively shit compared to the well-developed world that it replaced. There are only two good things about AoS: The fact that you can play as almost anyone from the lore, and the improved rules. Lore-wise, it's absolute garbage. It lost the last shred of believability it had.
I recommend something from the discworld series. Like the College of Magic or the Ankh-Morpok city watch. It would be awesome to here a serious description of something from this parody world
I know you guys did The Greater Nazi Reich from The Man in The High Castle. But could you also do the P.S.A.? I enjoyed Kido and his storyline as well as Tagomi.
Now I thought District 10 was under the control of the U.N. and the MNU went through multiple courts.....then again I only saw the movie once so my memory is kind of fuzzy on the matter, but wasn't there talk of a 'District 10' movie?
There seem to have been a disaster on board the ship before it came to Earth. The disaster had kill the crew who operated the ship. The Prawn ship may have been a colony vessel. After the disaster, the ship had wonder thru space until it came to Earth. Since Earth had the right environment for the passengers, the ship simply came to Earth. While it is a fact that the Prawns have created most of their problems, their problems were a result of a disaster. Ironic, Human prejudice and fear have made the Prawns' problems to get even worst. It shouldn't have taken South Africa twenty years to start focusing on making an attempt to solve the prawn problems.District 9 was a well made movie. It included a lot of focus on the legacy of Apartheid. If South Africa and rest of Earth had spent the right amount of time to investigate why the ship came to Earth, the disaster which cause the ship to came to Earth could have been discovered. The fate of the ship's passengers would likely been better. Strangely some of the Prawn survivors have turn out to be young members from the same class or caste which the ship's crew were members of.
Neill Blomkamp already proved that he could make an awesome Halo movie with Halo Landfall. I would actually prefer a movie with him over a series with Steven Spielberg.
I love District 9 it's my favorite sci-fi movie all time well aliens is Mouse can you make something about this Corporation you're no different from that Corporation from the alien franchise

The Templin Institute
Do videos on Thrawn Canon and Legends
The Templin Institute I have 2 suggestions for a future video. The Ceph (alien species from Crysis) and Cell (organization from Crysis).
Can y'all do the NCR in fallout?
The Templin Institute can you do the interplanetary strategic alliance from killzone
The Templin Institute are you guys going to do a Gears of War video of the COG at any point. I enjoy your guys videos very much and like to say is keep the work up

We should still purge them.
Inquisitor Blizzard Of course Inquisitor, right away!
All that's missing are the horrible pathogens they'd probably be carrying.
Inquisitor Blizzard suffer not the Xenos to live
@@olliesloane151 Oh shut up.
Well this just reawakened by desire for a sequel to District 9.
Blomkamp still wants to
But how do you make a good sequelt? I think a sequel would either be a pointless action movie or a lame thriller. I just don't think they can recreate the feeling of the original.
I'm still waiting for District 10 too. 👍

@@casbot71 I was so happy when District 9 got the Best Picture Oscar Nomination.
Such a underrated movie , I swear
No, Cheesy, no.
its partly because of the camera work, and partly because the story starts in act2 while feeding bits from act1 while proceeding to act3.
Yes Vivo it does have themes of Apartheid South Africa that is why it's an amazing movie instead of a good one. It's relevant culturally and politically.
@ScopeDog And it got 4 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. First South African movie to achieve that.
Definitely not underrated when it got nominated for 5 academy awards
Who wants that sequel "District 10" even more now?
I do. 😉👍
i just wanna see what happened to wikus (other than becoming a prawn)
Me!
It’s being written at this very moment. Since February at the very least.
more like district 2021
District 9 - one of the best science-fiction movies
Terrific movie, but hard to watch because it's heartbreaking.
every part of that movie was bad
@@FirstArchon like your profile pic.
"I'll be back in 3 years" My ass! Wikus has probably been relocated to District 10.
It's been 11 years now. Christopher has not returned.
Seriously, I love these videos. I’m sure a lot of time goes into it. Your doing a great job. Keep it up.
A few suggestions.
The Psi Corps from Babylon 5
The Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout
The Men In Black from Men in Black
Weyland Yutani from the Alien franchise
Mongler37 I would agree with Wayland-Yutani
Mongler37 men in black ftw
The corps is mother. The Corps is father.....
May I add:
The Soviet Union (and the Allies) from Command & Conquer Red Alert series.
Fazbear Family Entertainment from FNAF.
The Separatist Alliance from Star Wars.
The Deatheaters from Harry Potter.
can't go wrong with Babylon 5
Great movie. I was so happy when District 9 got a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
I thought MNU collapsed after the District 9 incident, the company fell apart due to public and international pressure and may have lead to it changing its name to Tetravaal the same one from Chappie/ and or Elysium, the technology fits.
Nah. It was too powerful and got away with it. Probably got some flack, covered up the worst of it, made some public statements, ran a PR campaign, and everyone moved on to the next big thing.
Tetra Vaal is a separate company, they're the one that builds robot police.
Have good memories of this movie, the guy who played Wikus was also the wheelchair guy from Hard Core Henry who was a total bad ass and great voice actor.
This is what I like about the Institute.
They come up with topics that make you say, "Oh Yea, never thought of that one".
Today is June 3 2019 exactly 37 years after they forced themselves onto the mothership. How ironic. And today is the last day to see district 9 on Netflix before it leaves. I just saw it. Amazing movie
You know human could just friend the prawns and take advantage of them like giving prawn facility, and in return prawn have to teach and give human their technology
Absolutely loved this movie, would love to see more like it.
Keep the videos coming!! Love the attention to detail you give to every universe you guys explore.
Just give them more catfood. Trust
AverageSol Yes
And for Diety's sake don't let the Nigerians get anywhere near them!
Damn, we need a sequel. Here's some prayers since suggestions don't work.
LDO from visual novel Dies Irae
COG from Gears of War
Armacham or F.E.A.R. squad from the F.E.A.R. games.
Dead Apostle Ancestors from the Nasuverse.
Razgriz from Ace Combat 5.
I'm really loving this channel. Would love to see more from Babylon 5 as I really enjoyed the video on the Minbari Federation.
I'd love to see a video on Aperture Science from the Portal series.
i'm proud to be subscribed to this channel,good luck and work!
Great video as always, really love seeing all the work and time put into them :)
PS: When can we expect some Dawn of Victory videos?
I would love more than anything to do some DoV content, but I'm not sure how popular it is outside of the core fanbase. I imagine the reaction from most people might just be "what the hell is this?"
The Templin Institute Pretty much. Generally speaking, it's quite obscure.
That's the thing where the Nazis, Soviets, etc. fight each other in space, right?
CCB (Civil Cooperation Bureau) from Elysium!
I hope things like MONARCH from the Monsterverse or the various aliens from the Godzilla franchise are covered :D
Gotta wait for King of the Monsters before a proper video is done
@@Afineaddition got to wait for Kong vs Godzilla
can you guys do INGSOC.
A few suggestions for you, Templin Institute:
-The UAC from Doom.
-G-Man from Half-Life
- The Diogenes Club from Sherlock Holmes
- AM from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
Multi National United... I'm sorry, what?
A double-redundant name that is very likely ironic.
It' was originally going to be the UNSC (From Halo) but that movie was scrapped but the production company still had all of the props/vehicles so they made District 9. Thus we get the a Private miliary company looking like the United Nations with the appropriate but terrible name of MNU.
That One Guy It’s a PMC, their names never make sense.
District 9 was and still is a brilliant movie.
do a video on the old republic
Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word!
The Templin Institute Please!
LOL
every time isee a video of you has cropped up it brightens my day!
can't put up the appropriate bri-Donation on patreon but, politely requesting;
Decepticons (Transformers)
Cybrids (Earthsiege/Starsiege/Tribes)
The Gorn hegemony (Star Trek)
The Empire of the Hand (Star Wars Legends)
Terran Dominion (Starcraft)
Thank you for this video, and for reminding me it's high time I rewatch District 9. I'd forgotten just how big and imposing MNU were in this film.
Nicely done video. I'm surprised you delved into a topic such as District 9's MNU. Would we perhaps be seeing more alien-related factions like ADVENT, The Covenant and the Hutt Cartel in future videos?
These are great informative videos. Please continue!
Great video as always!
I have a suggestion: The Irken Empire from Invader Zim.
Will we got an episode about the SHIELD ? It would be great
I love District 9 my favorite Sci-Fi movies I wonder you guys didn't do the Gears of War government structure in the world building
great video guys, keep it up.
Just watched District 9 on Netflix last week. It's a great film.
Terra for Terrans!
Oh, what about Crimson Skies! Alternate universe where air power is the dominant mode of transportation! It was a one hit game for the original Xbox and PC.
Y'all are so awesome
Do C.E.L.L from Crysis 2/3 next!
This is still the best sci fi movie ever made.
I feel so sorry for the Prawns. We treated them so horribly. We should feel ashamed of ourselves.
Wait until you see how humans treat their own
section 1 from nikita , shop from sof series , rand inc from marvel
We human (well the leader anyway) will have definitely done to alien just out of curiosity.
Do The Empire of Sigmar from Warhammer fantasy
I'd much prefer Old world factions for Warhammer Fantasy. Many in the fanbase aren't too happy with the new lore especially Sigmarines.
But the empire of Sigmar is an old world faction... Its the EMPIRE... yah know, the main human faction. The One Sigmar founded... thats why its named after him....
Ah I was mixing it up with the new one.
The new Age of Sigmar lore is way better than the old Fantasy stuff. Fight me nerd. ;)
metalheadmartyr Age of Sigmar is objectively shit compared to the well-developed world that it replaced. There are only two good things about AoS: The fact that you can play as almost anyone from the lore, and the improved rules. Lore-wise, it's absolute garbage. It lost the last shred of believability it had.
Any anime , factions going to be getting a spotlight
Best narrator!
Great movie u fortunate it wont get a sequel. I liked the alagory to south africa situations.
Epic as always!
Great job!
I recommend something from the discworld series. Like the College of Magic or the Ankh-Morpok city watch. It would be awesome to here a serious description of something from this parody world
such a shame we never got to see the 2. part of this!
Theta Grammaton from 'Equilibrium'
I love these. With FF7 coming out could you guys do Shinra maybe if enough info exists?
You should do humanity in the Fallout Universe.
I love how the world would rather give aliens refuge than Serians
Foking prawns!
dont mess the prawns
This is actually based off of the dark but true story that happened to district 6 in cape town in 1967.
Again, I must plead for a video on the Holy Britannian Empire.
Could you guys try to do some videos on the Hyperion Series by Dan Simmons or possibly Dark Tower series by Stephen King?
I have a suggestion. How about the United Citizen Federation from Starship Troopers?
Aldmeri Dominion :D
TheWalfadr Buncha elven bastards...
Which one? ESO (2E) benign alliance, or TESV (4E) Empire run by a faction that is fanatically trying to undo the existence of Nirn?
Alexandru Ianu Elves have always been jerks so either one will do.
How about the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg from StarCraft?
Can you do one on the cog army from Gears of War.
Great video Templin Institute. Could you do a video on the Terran Dominion Starcraft.
Love your videos
XCOM from the XCOM games series.
can you do one on the Crimson Raiders from the borderlands series
Can you make one about the Covenant in halo?
I need to find me a MNU security job. Those guys kick @ss
this sounds so real and official.
Great video! Now make a video about the RDA from James Cameron's Avatar.
wasnt there supposed to be a sequel to this movie?
How about the Aldmeri Dominion from Elder Scrolls?
Great video about a great movie.
ooh, fan theory, MNU is behind the ship randomly showing up. discuss :)
Do the Civil Cooperation Bureau from Elysium
I know you guys did The Greater Nazi Reich from The Man in The High Castle. But could you also do the P.S.A.? I enjoyed Kido and his storyline as well as Tagomi.
Can you guys please do a video on Uganda?
It's so unrealistic that the world would just let a company control all the districts and let them do what ever they want to those aliens
Can you do the ultor Corporation from Saints row & Red Faction
The lord has spoken to us
Now I thought District 10 was under the control of the U.N. and the MNU went through multiple courts.....then again I only saw the movie once so my memory is kind of fuzzy on the matter, but wasn't there talk of a 'District 10' movie?
Hey guys, how about Dying Light’s GRE? Probably be a pretty short video mind you.
Given the context, I feel like 1980s South Africa would be the WORST place for aliens to land.
Maybe the SCP Foundation next time?
I wanna see some BattleTech shit. FEDERATED SUNS PLEASE!
Will you cover Alien Nation?
There seem to have been a disaster on board the ship before it came to Earth. The disaster had kill the crew who operated the ship. The Prawn ship may have been a colony vessel.

Can you do The Black Lectroids and The Red Lectroids from The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension?
Love you guys
This could have been a halo movie.
This SHOULD have been a halo movie.
Eh, it was really good on its own, honestly. Though I would've loved a Halo movie.
Neill Blomkamp already proved that he could make an awesome Halo movie with Halo Landfall.
I would actually prefer a movie with him over a series with Steven Spielberg.
Fokkin’ prawns bru
SinDawg030
Fokkin' Prawns, m8.
How about Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order from Star Wars Legends?
How about OCP from Robocop
I love District 9 it's my favorite sci-fi movie all time well aliens is Mouse can you make something about this Corporation you're no different from that Corporation from the alien franchise
