this show sucks tho...its super slow and boring...they spend 20-30 minutes on one conversation that is meaningless...bad acting...pointless scenes...and the story overall isnt that good...its a rip off from everything else just worse...this is a dei book trilogy
@@JohnSmith-pj6wb you are exactly who needs to watch this show. A moronic bigot who would sooner seem themselves as a one of the captives fine w/ ignorant bliss than one who understands the deeper meanings brought about by the story and characters that translate to our current world.
I never read these books but I'm going to now. This reminds me of a more gritty, grown-up version of The City of Ember. Like if their city had stayed underground this is what they would've eventually evolved to be like. I read the City of Ember books when I was a kid and the biggest thing I didn't like was when they ventured outside and began life out there; I would've liked to see them expand underground or something.
Let me tell you I would give almost anything to read/experience the book series for the first time all over again. 10/10 recommend. Buckle up, it’s a doozy.
Ive found that screen adaptations fall into 3 categories: 1 to 1 translation which is awesome, but repetitive for a reader.. a wildly different experience with the main characters and the only recognizable thing from the books... OR a mix of the two that is familiar without being an exact translation of the book ( which I prefer out of all three) Overall I've overwhelmingly found that the books are ALWAYS better
It's pretty much the universe of Fallout without the Old world Military or Monsters. The Silos are Vaults, Silo 1 is pretty much Vault Zero & the CEO causing the Apocalypse is pretty much like Vault tec causing the Apocalypse
I ALWAYS come to FilmComicsExplained and listen in for a few seconds whenever I want some inspiration for finding a new series/movie/book. THANK you Niyat, this will be my next read :D
I love this channel, I’ve been kinda struggling mentally lately and looking into trying some reading I really like science fiction, any good ones in mind? Just want to give my mind an escape I’m just trying anything new I have to fight any suggestions will be much appreciated
they were, but I believe their intentions were nefarious all along if I'm not mistaken. Because they still use the nanotech on the people of the silos and according to the end of this video, use it in the surrounding area of the silos to make it seem like the world is still fucked .
"Abitrary"? No... It's deliberate, the whole thing is designed wholly on the fact that it will kill all ideas of curiosity, innovations and more... The founder saw all the horrible shits peoples invented and specifically built the Silos to breed those abilities out.
@@bachvandals3259 I don’t see how any set of rules laid down by the founders would affect the world after people would get out of silos in the long run. As I understand it, the rules are there only to ensure that people will survive long enough for the outside world to become non toxic. I don’t imagine it’s too easy to foresee how societies will manage in an enclosed space over hundreds of years, so they decided to play it “safe” for the good of many. Still not too sure what’s up with the cloud of nanobots around the area where the silos are and why that particular place is being kept barren looking, if it’s by design or the nanobots are trying to chill where they see some sort of live (people go out on rebellions as well as out to clean here and there). Also the fact that magnification is not allowed kind of suggests that maybe there are some sort of nanobots might be inside the silos. Although it would be a good tool to use to a serve the outside world for signs of danger. I doubt tho, that by building a microscope they would unlock the nanobots tech inside the silos haha
@@nickdrozd no... The rules are there to keep peoples inside and breed out innovativeness, the outside has been clean for a long long time. In their timeline humanities in the course of 100 years invented nuclear bombs, AI, self replicating world eating nanobots, self evolving super virus bombs.... They made an eugenic programs specifically to stop them from rediscover these horrible things again and destroying the earth the second time. They want to reconfigure the human DNA so that they will blindly follow random set of rules no question asked for eternity. The outside was never a problem.
Stupid question; why the secret? Surely, it would've been better to tell people the truth considering that IT weren't accountable for the nuclear attack and that, while outside appears safe, it (potentially) hides an invisible danger
Silo one has been pumping out nanobots to create the illusion of a radiated wasteland. They're trying to create an obedient slave race through eugenics.
To be honest I probably won't be watching the show I just don't have time I don't even know if I'll be able to read the book so this is amazing thank you for this If anything this will make me want to watch it later on when I do have the time
This sounds like too many layers of deception to me. It's flip-flopping the "truth" so many times, you can't really be sure that the resolution at the end is really the whole of it. You could keep it going seamlessly by adding an epilogue along the lines of "The administrator watched the growing settlement in frustration. He would have to wipe the board and start the experiment all over again." We keep going up layer by layer, each completely changing perspective on everything that came before. First we have the isolated feudal society. Then their narrative of the hostile outside turns out to be fake. Then that information they actively suppress and punish is revealed to be the actual lie (why even bother then?). Then we find out that humanity created that wasteland intentionally. But actually it was a response to another disaster that wasn't intentional. However, it was still really just an experiment by yet another shadow government. Oh and by the way, the not-fake wasteland, which we thought was just a deception when it wasn't, turns out to be manufactured after all, and the outside world actually _is_ inhabitable, like the suppressed fake information claimed... It's plot twists all the way down.
The Silos were not comisioned by the goverment in case of nuclear fallout, they were built to store radioactive waste and others in a safe manner, or at least that's how it was presented to the goverment by its creator, also the Nuclear weapons were not the cause of the destruction of the world, the nuclear explosion only happened in atlanta, next to were the Silos were built in order to push people inside each silo, since the inauguration day was during the democrat national convention, they set in each silo crater a tent and all that, one for each state represented, when the detonation happened, they got people in each silo. The world was destroyed by nanobots designed to attack humans, actually by the time the silo series starts, the whole world is habitable, the only area uninhabitable is the area surrounding the 50 Silos, since the silos as well as silo 1, keep pumping nanobots to the air, designed to stay within that area, killing everyone that gets outside. The plan was for only one silo to be open to the world when Silo 1 though it was time.
@@andressousa9006 I may have gotten some details wrong, but overall I don't see anything that contradicts my summary. There's just so many fake cover stories that are peeled back layer by layer that at the end you can't be sure that you're actually at the heart of the onion... There is a level of fundamental plot twists beyond which it becomes hard to be sure that we actually know everything, or take the previous stakes seriously. Let's say they revealed that the "real" world in the Matrix franchise was just another layer of simulation, to keep the rebellious escapees from the first layer busy by giving them something to rebel against. Sure, it would explain away some of the weirder aspects like human batteries, Neo's powers outside the Matrix or the fact that the machines keep a cycle alive that might eventually destroy them. But if you accept that there's a third layer above that, you've introduced the concept of nested layers. What's to say there isn't another fourth layer above even that? Or more? And is any of what we saw in the movies even relevant anymore, or was it just a meaningless puppet show put on by whoever is running the next higher layer? I feel similar about the whole "the outside world is secretly fine, but actually not, but really that's just a lie!"... At this point there could credibly be another twist, like "oh, the nanomachines didn't deactivate like expected but just went dormant with no more humans around, but now reactivate with people leaving the silos!" - or even yet another layer of institution that only made it seem like the nanomachines obliterated all of society outside, tricking the heads of Silo 1 into thinking they're the masterminds behind all that remains of humanity...
Well, yeah. It's dystopian sci-fi. In the end, it's not supposed to make sense. The answer is always: "some evil asshole went on the ultimate power trip, but he made this one mistake..." If the story is still fun despite a few plot holes, it's good fiction.
It has a lot of similarities to the Fallout universe Vaults, with less insane experiments. So the Silos ARE necessary, and the outside IS deadly, and her search leads to the destruction of silos that were necessary... fun. But in the end, she takes a couple hundred (?) to the promised land to rebuild, so the thousands dead is a non-issue.
But isss the whole world deadly of just the area around the silos? Go back to where and walks over the first silo and sees more of them then also note there is a city in the distance. The landscape only looks hellish for as far as you can see….but what if you got closer to the city hmm?
wait wait wait...so the outside shown to be a wasteland was just a trick and was actually green, but it turns out THAT was a trick and the world really was a wasteland...but THEN it turns out THAT was a trick and the world really is healed? wtf
Outside actually is a wasteland. The beautiful outside is supposed to be a trick for people sent out to clean. They see the green and want to clean the camera lens to show everyone of the greenery outside. But all they do is clean and show the wasteland to everyone inside of the silo. Deterring other people from wanting to go outside.
The book says the outside is green beyond the crater walls that go far from the doors to the silo. It's hinted that the area near the multiple silos doors is still toxic and that the senator who wanted a clean slate start designed a bioweapon that keeps infecting land nearest the silo.
@@ragnarocka6070I knew something was dodgy when I not only saw more solos but a tall standing city in the distance. So basically the rich kept the poor in silos? So sad.
It makes no sense to keep these people under control? It’s like it’s just an ego thing if anything if someone has a problem just send them out no need for all the power tripping
Great video! I haven't read the source books but was fascinated by Series 1 and I'm now watching Series 2. I'm still not fully clear on what 'truth' they think they are missing out on; they are told that the Earth is uninhabitable... and it is? I'm also yet to find out why 'relics' of the old world are forbidden... I can't see the harm they do, since the world is not habitable, so they're not missing out on anything while everyone else is having fun on the surface.
So I think the world was made to be and is kept inhabitable by AI the humans are kept like pets and intentionally put into silos I think they aren’t allowed technology and relics so they don’t find out this fact or how to ‘beat’ it Totally guessing and not read any of the books
Years ago, I started reading Wool, but I don't think I ever finished it. It was very well-conceived and well-written. It made me think more about how much I waste more than anything else I've seen or read. That feeling thoroughly outweighed my curiosity regarding the plot - though the story was indeed engaging. It's insane how much more we could get out of everyday objects. It really is a cultural doctrine that leads us to throw so much away.
If anyone else enjoyed the book trilogy, you might enjoy Robert Brockway's novel, Rx: A Tale of Electronegativity. They are extreeeeemely different books, but both do a great job of portraying an extremely overcrowded dystopia.
Love these breakdowns. Looking forward to watching this. Seems like Fallout meets Man in the high castle with its darker grittier tone. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Fallout, it’s mostly just some fun and eye candy but this seems the real deal.
Just started the Vod from s blank slate , no books and this is brand new to me . NGL justs started and im very interested . Good times Edit . stoped mid way as I will be watching this . Love the Chan .
Heyy Niat!! Can you watch and explain the series Foundation next PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. It's very similar to Dune and there's 2 seasons out with the second season being a little over a year old now.
The whole series makes no sense. You can't live for more than 100 years and only have metal shops to build stuff. You need to have at least electronics, plastics, and glass manufacturing to last this long. And this requires unique minerals and substances that need mining from different parts for the world. Also, how does the silo structure stay sound from earthquakes? It's 100 levels deep. Eventually it will have cracks and it will develop water leaks. That could destroy the integrity of the structure. There are more problems with the story's premise. It's a very interesting detailed story that is steeped in fantasy and not reality.
The knew they needed 500 years of supplies. So that would be easy enough to accomplish given the scale of this project. Also two things about the earthquakes. 1. Earthquakes travel across the top of the Earth like a wave on the ocean. So as long as you're deep enough they are not an issue. 2. Even if earthquakes were a problem in this case these bunkers could simply be built far from a major fault line.
I think the show actually improves on the source material which is a rarity. The original is a great read, but it's kind of dry and the world feels small, partially due to the pacing which is lightning fast. The show provides much needed reasons to feel empathy and other emotions for the characters.
like in reality, there's always a further "deception". You don't "escape the matrix" folks. you look to the creator who knows the heart, and in death you find salvation
I see this in a lot of ‘what happen in the books’ videos but isn’t the nuke over Atlanta the only one? And it was only a way of scaring the people into the silos before the nanobot off switch
Hey Niyat! I’m not sure if you covered or even watched it yet but could you give FROM a try? I think you’d like it and would love to see a video of your thoughts. Cheers✌️
This series should literally end in the second episode. the heroine enters the hot part of a steam turbine and spins the bearing. Does anyone replace a wheel in a car while the car is in the moce?
I find it kind of crazy that the people who are adamant the outside world is not deadly agree to put the suits on...If you want to kill off everyone who dissents, put them in a suit with a closed cycle breathing system and then have an aerosolised toxin that takes ~0.5 hours to kill them. The first time I saw someone die in the show in that way I was just thinking, why would you put the suit on...?!
This show is awesome and parts of it really remind me so much of the HP Lovecraft story the mound, where a conquistador finds an enormous underground city populated by super advanced humanoids, that will not let him leave threatening a fate worse than death if he were to do so, that it had to be one of the many influences on the original novels and the show.
Holston's wife didn't love him. They could've done way more together if she had just sat down and had a conversation with her life partner, but she chose to end herself.
It's like a YA story being treated as GoT. Season 1 is the first HALF of book one!? They're really milking it too. That's a bad sign. A very bad sign. This is probably boring af. It looks like it was made by a corporate committee! Edit: I mean, who ON EARTH asked for three plus seasons of Snowpiercer but Underground!? Holy shit just let me watch fucking paint dry! At least then SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENS!!! Christ on a Cracker just make Culture novels into movies already! Edit 2: HOLY SGIT is that Rashida Jones!? 🤣 Yeah this show is cursed. 20:54 they're talking about someone who might have been murdered and look at the fan covering! I mean, come on, this is spoon feeding spoons!
It wouldn't shock me if people are living in SILO's right now for the last 100 or so years with no idea the rest of us are on the surface. There's a lot of land in the US and world none of us will never see, nor are allowed to visit.
there been plenty of shows about goverment exparaments about this, think the best one ive seen is Ascension, shit like this, giving the funding, could be real, but we would never know.
We don't have the tech to build a completely sealed, self-sufficient, infinitely maintainable environment that could hold humans indefinitely. Look at how much maintenance the ISS requires. Without outside intervention, any project would fail after a few years.

@@zoella2349 because if it existed it would already be used on the most expensive habitat humanity has ever constructed. Space is peanuts compared to a theoretical "vault" - just look at what old missile silos look like after decades.
The major missing character and his (could have been easily a her) is the architect whose memory is wiped each time he is put into cryo sleep as are others. Each crew is brought out of sleep to work as preordained worker bees. Justice etc remain the full control. This architect eventually realises the lie. Was this unbelievable or do we find this silo builder (now just technically adapt) in another silo. Yet there is no sign of the stores of part spares, no cryo sleep. Otherwise its close.
The unrealistic part is that people do not separate based on race. In prison, racial separation is innate. It is natural to discriminate on appearance. It would have made the series more believable.
Been a fan of the books for years. Like all series based on novels, it’s not as good. Many changes. I take the series for what it is but not nearly as good

I can't see the harm they do, since the world is not habitable, so they're not missing out on anything while everyone else is having fun on the surface.
So I think the world was made to be and is kept inhabitable by AI the humans are kept like pets and intentionally put into silos I think they aren’t allowed technology and relics so they don’t find out this fact or how to ‘beat’ it
Totally guessing and not read any of the books
Damn Nyant, I’m am stopping right here 2:32. I’ll be back after I watch this show. You sold me.
It’s 10/10
@ made it to e3. I haven’t been this into a show since the expanse. It’s amazing.
@@tjlambaes WHOOOOOAHH...to INVOKE "The Expanse" is high praise!!!
this is great, love the books and series
good work
happy new year
Years ago, I started reading Wool, but I don't think I ever finished it. It was very well-conceived and well-written. It made me think more about how much I waste more than anything else I've seen or read. That feeling thoroughly outweighed my curiosity regarding the plot - though the story was indeed engaging. It's insane how much more we could get out of everyday objects. It really is a cultural doctrine that leads us to throw so much away.
I might just pick up this show when all the seasons are out bc the ending sounds so good
So, Snowpierce but vertical and static.
you got nothing, and has nothing to do with snowpierce.
@andressousa9006 👍
This is genre fiction
Watched the first season of the show and got hooked and have now read all 3 books twice. Cant wait to see what they do with the show.
This was a brilliant video
all this just leaves me wanting MORE man... I love shit like this and I wish it was an anime or something so it could be way longer hahaha
wait, they said there will be 4 seasons!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
If anyone else enjoyed the book trilogy, you might enjoy Robert Brockway's novel, Rx: A Tale of Electronegativity. They are extreeeeemely different books, but both do a great job of portraying an extremely overcrowded dystopia.
This was one show that never gets talked about like iv never seen an ad or anything. But seems like a good watch
I love this Channel ❤
Love these breakdowns. Looking forward to watching this. Seems like Fallout meets Man in the high castle with its darker grittier tone. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Fallout, it’s mostly just some fun and eye candy but this seems the real deal.
Great video tbh, and show, wish we get a movie in the future maybe
Can you do the Silo 49 Series? For fun?
Just started the Vod from s blank slate , no books and this is brand new to me . NGL justs started and im very interested . Good times
Edit . stoped mid way as I will be watching this . Love the Chan .
Man if only this wasn’t ChatGPTd
Hahah you are so right
Gee, sounds remarkably similar to the 2008 movie, "City of Ember", also starring Tim Robbins.
The books definitely gave me that feel, the show gives more snowpiercer vibes?
Fantastic books and the TV adaptation is good too!
Reminds me of Hive Cities in Warhammer40k and Vaults in Fallout.
Please look at The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
I've been waiting for him to do Phantoms for years!
Heyy Niat!! Can you watch and explain the series Foundation next PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. It's very similar to Dune and there's 2 seasons out with the second season being a little over a year old now.
I see similarities with the 40k Imperial Hiveworlds.
I wonder if people grown up underground, for generations, would consider normal weather a life threatening danger. And probably be agoraphobic anyway.
the atmosphere reminds me of the game Half-life1
Nanomachines, son.
You can tell who hasn’t read the books
Just finished reading this series, absolutely incredible story with a super rushed ending
For those whom don’t yet get that this a psychological thriller….its a psychological thriller!!!
Arguably the title of the video already implies a spoiler for anyone watching the show and not reading the books.
What is this show streaming on?
Apple TV
Can we get a lore video for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games?
Oh yeah! Love me some FCE
It’s vertical Fallout… dope
The whole series makes no sense. You can't live for more than 100 years and only have metal shops to build stuff. You need to have at least electronics, plastics, and glass manufacturing to last this long. And this requires unique minerals and substances that need mining from different parts for the world. Also, how does the silo structure stay sound from earthquakes? It's 100 levels deep. Eventually it will have cracks and it will develop water leaks. That could destroy the integrity of the structure. There are more problems with the story's premise. It's a very interesting detailed story that is steeped in fantasy and not reality.
The knew they needed 500 years of supplies. So that would be easy enough to accomplish given the scale of this project.
Also two things about the earthquakes.
1. Earthquakes travel across the top of the Earth like a wave on the ocean. So as long as you're deep enough they are not an issue.
2. Even if earthquakes were a problem in this case these bunkers could simply be built far from a major fault line.
It's called fiction.
I think I remember watching a quick recap of the clips before watching this.
I think the show actually improves on the source material which is a rarity. The original is a great read, but it's kind of dry and the world feels small, partially due to the pacing which is lightning fast. The show provides much needed reasons to feel empathy and other emotions for the characters.
How they get oxygen
Where their waste goes
What's producing electricity
How they get sun or UV required for human body
Just get a really long bent pole that will clean the lens lol
like in reality, there's always a further "deception". You don't "escape the matrix" folks. you look to the creator who knows the heart, and in death you find salvation
I see this in a lot of ‘what happen in the books’ videos but isn’t the nuke over Atlanta the only one? And it was only a way of scaring the people into the silos before the nanobot off switch
thanks for putting a spoiler in the title of the video, real clever 🙄
Hey Niyat!
I’m not sure if you covered or even watched it yet but could you give FROM a try? I think you’d like it and would love to see a video of your thoughts. Cheers✌️
This series should literally end in the second episode. the heroine enters the hot part of a steam turbine and spins the bearing. Does anyone replace a wheel in a car while the car is in the moce?
It’s a fictional novel
@Goldgirl102fiction or not, there are some rules in this world. especially when the steam later heats the steel doors in red
So the United States in a can, basically.
I find it kind of crazy that the people who are adamant the outside world is not deadly agree to put the suits on...If you want to kill off everyone who dissents, put them in a suit with a closed cycle breathing system and then have an aerosolised toxin that takes ~0.5 hours to kill them. The first time I saw someone die in the show in that way I was just thinking, why would you put the suit on...?!
more questions than answers
you should watch/explain the movie the devils bath, on shudder. Just got done watching and would love to hear your take on it.
Its more like "City of Ember".
This show is awesome and parts of it really remind me so much of the HP Lovecraft story the mound, where a conquistador finds an enormous underground city populated by super advanced humanoids, that will not let him leave threatening a fate worse than death if he were to do so, that it had to be one of the many influences on the original novels and the show.
Vertical Snowpiercer
So basically… Snowpiercer - but underground
Let me guess, she's going to go against the established rules and end up destroying the status quo. Seen this thousand times.
The silo is an reverse tower built like an icbm silo. Also hints of a concrete grain tower.
Holston's wife didn't love him. They could've done way more together if she had just sat down and had a conversation with her life partner, but she chose to end herself.
It's like a YA story being treated as GoT. Season 1 is the first HALF of book one!? They're really milking it too. That's a bad sign. A very bad sign. This is probably boring af. It looks like it was made by a corporate committee!
Edit: I mean, who ON EARTH asked for three plus seasons of Snowpiercer but Underground!? Holy shit just let me watch fucking paint dry! At least then SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENS!!! Christ on a Cracker just make Culture novels into movies already!
Edit 2: HOLY SGIT is that Rashida Jones!? 🤣
Yeah this show is cursed.
20:54 they're talking about someone who might have been murdered and look at the fan covering! I mean, come on, this is spoon feeding spoons!
At least she died immediately. Pointless character
It's it Christmas already?
Just heard Mariah Carey while out shopping so yes unfortunately it is that season she’s among us again
She has risen
Among us?
It wouldn't shock me if people are living in SILO's right now for the last 100 or so years with no idea the rest of us are on the surface. There's a lot of land in the US and world none of us will never see, nor are allowed to visit.
Aren't there companies that freeze rich assholes?
there been plenty of shows about goverment exparaments about this, think the best one ive seen is Ascension, shit like this, giving the funding, could be real, but we would never know.
We don't have the tech to build a completely sealed, self-sufficient, infinitely maintainable environment that could hold humans indefinitely. Look at how much maintenance the ISS requires. Without outside intervention, any project would fail after a few years.
@@Hawk7886the thing is , how do we know that we don’t . I mean wasn’t the studies of mk ultra released way later by the CIA . They’re probably decades ahead and release “updates”later
@@zoella2349 because if it existed it would already be used on the most expensive habitat humanity has ever constructed. Space is peanuts compared to a theoretical "vault" - just look at what old missile silos look like after decades.
If Showpiercer and Fallout had a child.
Is it `city of ember ` serialized ?
The major missing character and his (could have been easily a her) is the architect whose memory is wiped each time he is put into cryo sleep as are others. Each crew is brought out of sleep to work as preordained worker bees. Justice etc remain the full control. This architect eventually realises the lie. Was this unbelievable or do we find this silo builder (now just technically adapt) in another silo. Yet there is no sign of the stores of part spares, no cryo sleep. Otherwise its close.
Happy 1m subscribers Niyad!
The unrealistic part is that people do not separate based on race. In prison, racial separation is innate. It is natural to discriminate on appearance. It would have made the series more believable.
Could you do History of The Savage Land from Marvel Comics
So basically Fallout with replicating something something
Bruh is that Common?
yup
I like silo the most as its closer to reality and how similar is to the world governments controlling the population
Been a fan of the books for years. Like all series based on novels, it’s not as good. Many changes. I take the series for what it is but not nearly as good
You know what I liked about the show? No reading!
Nanobots are the real problem, not radiation. Nanobots that are carried on the wind from Silo 1
Decimated means reduced by 10%.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
This is the most bizarre crypto spam bot. I wonder what the scam/social engineering attempt is with this comment?
broadcasting spoilers in your title...classy
What came first this or fallout ?
Isn't there a movie of this?
Fallout meets Hunger Games
One can hope people read the text than just consuming it
The book the show is based on a rateher old book and it's messages still are relevant today, and not just on the jonkler society meme level
Also, one scholding note towards a thing: in latter parts of the video you used some "AI" images, which is quite digracefull. I know you run an explained channel, which tend to have low quality, but ya know- you don't need to be like the rest.
I hate to be that guy but man the books have a different feel. Same story but definitely some changes that feel more earnt and less copies of other franchises.
