I remember watching this on HBOmax wondering what the heck I got myself into glad their finally a breakdown of this!!! But when u ever gonna black goo virus from Prometheus Roanoke?
I love how most people consider zombies to be the most dangerous threat of the movie.But no one ever thinks about the flies,rats,mice,roaches etc carrying the disease around even if they are immune to it.And just think about the mosquitoes
@@theawes0me0ne which is honestly amazing and great only thing is that arm rule when you cut off the arm isn’t as accurate cause Bacteria enter the blood stream fast.
@@mysticalspace2596 i mean, have we ever seen a medically proper amputation in one of these settings? In theory, if they had the ability to amputate, cauterize, and give them meds to fight off infections besides the zombie virus, they could have a good survival rate from it. Just dont perform the procedure with something previously used to kill a zombie (Lee)
I am extremely interested in the world of "cargo". The information on the virus that was made publically available and the kits given out leads me to believe the government had a decent understanding of what was happening before there was a total breakdown. I really would like to see what a military and containment response to this virus looked like.
all it took was probably enough people not following the quarantines, and that is how things got out of hand pretty quickly, since these are pretty much just really sick people. and there isnt much a normal person or soldier could do. like you would have to be pretty sick to shoot at your own people. even if they are dangerous because of a sickness. you can already see this during the pandemic with people breaking quarantines even when they are infected and some areas suddenly becoming hot spots. only way to deal with this one i think is dictatorial levels of control where anyone breaking curfew gets shot on the spot and anyone perceived infected gets quarantined or killed. which would be pretty hard to do in the western world
A military response would be "cleansing." Any kind of zombie from any movie is never going to get through an armoured vehicle, let alone a tank. If there's a people vs zombie military standoff/ conflict, the zombies will get wiped out every time. Even if the military doesn't have access to IFVs, APCs or MBTs, they could very easily and very quickly build a fortified military camp defended with .50 BMGs, any one of which will turn a series of zombies into red mist with chunks. You don't even need all that construction; you mount a .50 BMG on a flatbed truck and you can dismantle zombies at your leisure, without any fear of them being able to catch you. Even if the military in question is the poorest military in the world, they could still make some clever traps that lure the zombies into an area, funnel them towards slippery ground that slopes downwards and leads into the chomping blades of a combine harvester. Whatever option you take, within a VERY short time of getting the military involved, any zombie threat is over.
@@Raz.C Yeah but usuallyyy the problem is people being dumb half the time the military doesn't have time to mobilize they either get totally wiped out before getting in their trucks OR someone on the inside is infected hiding it and infects everyone wiping it out from the inside. Mostly in zombie movies its human error leading to them dying not lack of weapons.
@@darkbound9013 "As an Australian living in Victoria" my brain instantly felt sadness for you because of what has been happening lately with laws being implemented there.
Alright mate, as a South Aussie let me clue you into a few things. 1- that was a little girl. 2 - our summers don't often have much green. 3 - Roos can get big, but we also have plenty of cattle farms and a few feral horses running about (amongst other things). 4 - Fosters is what the tourists drink, I can't remember the last time I saw a Fosters at the bottle shop. 5 - our current federal government dissolved our pandemic response unit when they got into power back in 2013. If this happened IRL our prime minister would probably go on another overseas holiday and wait for it all to blow over. 6 - I forgot where I was going with this, but keep your eyes open for drop bears. They'll rip your head off
The child is a girl!!! She is performing mourning rituals for her late father as some Aboriginal women in some Aboriginal communities do. She is performing them by herself, though, because she didn't want to give up on her dad getting better and ran off with him to hide him away from her community who would "kill him" if they found him (when he is infected she doesn't see him as dead yet...just sick). It is only at the end of the movie that she and her community share the knowledge that there is some humanity still left in the "sick" people and that they kill the sick "with kindness" ( they have an understanding and compassion for the people that the zombies were before they were sick) knowing they won't get better.
What we learned: always warn people of dangerous areas. Entire movie could have been avoided if he just said "dont go to that boat, there's one of them ebola patients on it."
@@Sniperboy5551she would be dead though. All he had to do was say something when you see the most dangerous thing currently in the area. Seriously communication would have saved all three but he was a moron.
"why are they so calm about death?" Because they live in Australia Roanoke. We face death any time we leave the house. Everything wants to kill you so why worry
I died laughing when Roanoke said “It’s rabies” and then went to credits. I will say that Cargo is fricken amazing and I love hearing about the probable science behind it.
I've had it on my "To Watch" list but never got around to it because zombie movies are very hit-or-miss for me, but I think this comment section has convinced me to watch it today!
Fun fact, Roanoake, but Australia does have feral cattle. Cows and camels have been turned loose in (if I remember correctly) Northern Australia and at least the former are regularly rounded up by cattle ranchers. There's a good chance that the animal that's there, since it's the right size, is probably a cow rather than a kangaroo. Roo's are big, but I'm sure that carcass was a bit *too big* to be a Kangaroo
This movie should be talked about more. Andy’s love for Rosie is so beautiful. The whole film is him doing everything he can to ensure her survival. When they spray his wife’s perfume, I started to cry. I’d like to think I could have the wit and intelligence Andy had at the end to make sure my kids made it after me. Thanks for covering Roa!
Hey, fun fact, Australia does have a secret large animal that lives mostly in the extremely hot center of the country; Camels! I don't think the infected were eating one in that scene, but still a little know thing
It is a custom in some Indigenous Australian cultures for people, particularly women, to strike themselves with rocks during moments of extreme emotional distress. I suppose it's a way of externalising the pain.
@@neonraindrop8357 you can though, temporarily. Physical pain can distract from the mental pain, prioritising physical pain is necessary for survival. Emotional pain can also be related to high or low arousal. With low arousal the person will feel numb and empty, physical pain causes arousal which can bring the person to their "window of tolerance" aka the arousal level that is comfortable. High arousal can make a person feel agitation or anguish among other things, can be relieved by feeling physical pain that distracts from it. The physical pain can make the emotional pain feel more real. Physical pain also releases a lot of endorphins and other hormones that make you feel good. Self harm can be really addictive and it's not a good long term coping mechanisms, but if a person is in deep emotional distress it makes sense to cause physical pain and it's seen in other species as well.
At this point, I feel like having an artist draw you some stuff in place of the movie would save you money somehow. That said, I ma watch this boi round 2

Conspiracy theory: This is actually his first time posting this but the content is so well done that an alternate version of yourself travels to your timeline and merges with you to share the memory of this video
Counter conspiracy: This is actually the effect of an alternative timeline Roanoke that traveled back to our time to prevent him from revealing a real life contamination via a real found footage clip that contained specific color and light patterns that created a Thought Virus. In a similar vein that 'soft cat = I must pat' is a way for cats to subtly control mankind, future-time Roanoke originally played a clip about the thought virus which unintentionally contained the pattern that caused it. Just think of what Cave Johnson said in Portal 2 "Don't think about it. No, we're serious. Visualizing the affect actually triggers the symptoms."
@@slevinchannel7589 bit biased, you could say the same for most zombie/infected horror films, but a fair few seem to have some science behind it, for the game the last of us for example that has a lot of science behind it with the whole cordyceps fungus and it isn’t as far fetched as it may seem. even 28 days later for example, as that was heavily inspired by the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak. Even though foot and mouth is completely different to the fictional ‘rage’ virus. But you could say the same with most zombie horrors as most of them are unrealistic
As it really seems try not to come in contact with their goop and if throwing meat/blood is enough to get them distracted I dont know how this even gets outta hand. Throw meat in big pile, wait for horde, then clear it or better yet abandon them to their meat and leave. What trouble is that honestly...
It's a shame things were so cringe with them. Literally, it was nothing but superstitious bullshit scenes The actors didn't seem to behave like people, just weird ideas of what aboriginals are like
22:35 Ah cool encephalitis. I was in hospital recently for that. Had a seizure, ambulance took me to hospital, was in nearly a month. During my stay, I ended up in the stage of decompensated cirrhosis & no I'm terminal. The cirrhosis seemed to have no obvious cause. Until I mentioned that in my early to mid 30s I worked with a lot of heavy metals. Low & behold, they found cadmium still present in my system. Hopefully I'll get a transplant before liver failure occurs. Otherwise it's adiós muchachos. As for remaining calm about possible/likely impending death. From my perspective, this sword hanging precariously over my neck is my new norm. You deal with it largely because you have little other choice.

To note about the cats. Cats actually very rarely use meows or other verbal communication between other cats (other than obvious ones like hissing and such), except when they are kittens, when they mew to get their mother to pay attention to them. Cats learned that humans are dumb-as-a-post when it comes to understanding their non-verbal communication (postures, body language, etc), but *do* respond when they make sounds like when they were kittens. So cats are literally using baby-talk when they are trying to communicate with us big dumb furless oafs.
Funny one of my late cats used to barely meow and maybe due to growing up with cats and being quite introverted I always felt like I could tell what she wanted me to do just by observing her and now that I think about it our very talkative cat is noticeable more quiet around me than my mother. I guess I'm slightly more capable than most humans according to cats which is a way better accomplishment than functioning in society if you ask me
Ever since playing "The Forest" and encountering the various multiple mutants... Something has been bothering me. Spoilers for those who haven't played/seen it. While there are superbatural elements implied with the artifacts you find in the secret research facility, it's never explicitely stated to be supernatural... Which leads me to believe that either it's some alien technology or mutagenic bioweapon that was either lost or sealed away on the planet. I want to see Roanoke give his take on what this could be, as well as go into detail of what the biological changes could mean, and potentially what the artifacts might have been origionally used for.
I didn't find any supernatural elements just a shit ton of crosses which gets explained away with the fact that missionaries were on the island. Not sure what rhe scientists aimed to do or what's generating the clones. That is just spooky
@@shelldie8523 What interests me most (though I forget if it's in the cave that leads to the lab, or the one that is in it) is the section of cave that has a monilith in it surrounded by a ledge littered with Skeletons that look like they were all petrified in an instant. There are also verious paintings in several caves that indicate that it was already seen as supernatural by the natives long before the missionaries stepped onto the island. As for the second artifact, for what it can do, it is way too advanced to not be alien technology, and the small sphere you can find after getting the key from the boat that gives you some control over the mutants and natives also leads me to believe the bioweapon possibility.
As I said on the last video, I appreciate you bringing up the infected's need for sustenance. In any sort of outbreak/zombie scenario I always play it out in my head and if I never see the infected drinking water then the infection won't last beyond a week. Those zombies will be dropping like flies without the ability to maintain a proper working biomachine. I can see lessening the need for food but we're squishy water bags with sentience. Remove that water and we can't even move.
That’s why I always thought the zombies on the walking dead were stupid, because some of them had gone years without any food and yet were still moving about 🤔
Yeah most zombie movies in the real world would be more like zombie weeks since a lot of zombies just stay outside all the time. I guess they could start getting some water from their food if the physical changes were drastic enough but it wouldn't do more than delay the inevitable. So that is neat, if you ever see the news of a classical zombie out break just fill up a jug of water and hide in your basement until you can't anymore. You will out live them unless they are supernatural or retain their intellect and keep drinking and eating things aside from humans.
Why I love movies like 28 days later. Or games like Days Gone. In 28 days later. The zombies just straight up starve. A month after and the apocalypse is over In Days Gone. The zombies are more like just animals. They hunt in pack. Eat grass, berries, meat. Both humans and other animals. They drink water and even sleep and hibernate.
I think the reason why so many people are so calm about dying would most likely be because it would probably be preferential than staying in a world where it seems like nowhere is safe, and at any moment, your entire family will slowly die in front of you, as opposed to something instant happening like a heart attack or car crash. Impending doom can really take a toll on people, and the dread and thought that inevitably turning into something that will kill or hurt other people is far worse than death, and in the case of the husband who was bit, and the wife and 2 children, most likely, the wife couldn't bare the thought of her children having to grow up in a world like this. Trigger warning for suicide: when I was younger, I was extremely depressed. For over a year I contemplated suicide, and one day, I decided to go through with it. I won't go into detail of what I did, however, in the moments before I attempted suicide, I felt more calm than I ever had been before, simply because I knew the pain was going to end soon. Thankfully I failed to do so, as 11 years later, I'm much much happier and live an amazing life that I wouldn't give up for anything.
I’m glad you’re still here friend ❤ I also attempted in childhood and I’m glad it didn’t work but I also get the feeling calm - I didn’t see any way out of my situation and the idea of being free from that pain made me feel at ease like “ finally I won’t be suffering any,ore”. I’m now in my 20s and finally free from all of that and I wish I could give younger me a hug and say it’ll be okay
Kangaroo tastes pretty good. The infected having taken down one with their bare hands is a little unbelievable though, those things can wreck you and trying to take one down without a force multiplier is a pretty bad idea. (My uncle is Australian and culls Kangaroos and wild pigs pretty regularly)
Depends if it was a wallaby or a roo. And if you had enough infected they could definitely do enough damage to atleast lethally mame one. Either that or they found one that was hit by a car but I doubt it
@@Au_Aquatica tbh, looked more like a cow. seen plenty of cows on the side of the road on the highways. plus i'd assume cows would be more easy to take down for zombies lol
It was likely caught by Persistence Hunting which is basically casually catching up to something until it gets tired to kill it. Kangaroos will usually just run away, but since The Fracked can smell living meat, it wouldn't matter much since they'd constantly keep following it without tiring unlike the Kangaroo.
@@maylabrown4584 makes sense since if the Fracked are reverted to factory settings they'll basically walk down prey as we're persistence hunters by nature
If 28 Days Later taught me anything, it's that 'natural' zombies have a shelf-life. They don't farm. They don't fish. That applies here as well. Stay on the boat. Good movie, anyways.
Hey Roanoke, dude can I just say, I really appreciate that you still cover movies despite constantly being copyright cucked. I said a while back I love watching the pseudo-movie review summary, and the biology comes in and makes it all so much more interesting.
@@slevinchannel7589 you don’t know Australians like I do, these are perfectly reasonable behaviours for those Bogans. That’s why we hate being confused as being like Tasmania, we are in no way related to them.
Can I just say, why would the wife go out to look for a razor anyways? He could cut his skin since he probably hasn't shaved in a while and has no shaving scream to help at all (razors cause micro cuts in your skin anyways). The husband could totally get infected just from shaving, not even considering the razor would probably be rusted from water and time, and bacteria ridden whether it carried the infection or not
"Also, cats manipulate us all the time (...) which is absolutely messed up being controlled by a 10 pound hair ball with a 25 gram brain, but hey man you gotta to love cats" Welp, they got Roanoke
Watching videos about this movie on UA-cam is actually how I stumbled onto this channel. Full circle! But one minor detail-the aboriginal child is actually a girl.
Yo Roanoke. The hitting in the head with a rock thing is a tradition between a number of Australian Aboriginal tribes, done after a loss. I'm not quite sure the specifics - I believe that it is done under specific death circumstances, like if they feel they could've done something and failed etc, but that's not straight from the mouth of one who practices it. These sorts of traditions also vary by a large degree between different tribes.
Before I had my baby sister, I never really had a reaction to the baby, but after I did, I got pretty protective over her, and now every time I see the baby, I get some really bad anxiety knowing what could happen to her, even though I've seen this movie a bunch of times.
I love that in this movie the government actually visibly tried. In a lot of zombie movies it seems like they didn’t try at all or where destroyed unreasonably fast. But they nailed down a relative turning time, distributed maps of unsafe areas, cards clearly showing symptoms of infection, kept broadcasting updates over radio, and even gave people a method to quickly dispatch themselves if it comes to it.
The animal that the infected were eating was probably a cow or horse. Europeans introduced a lot of domestic animals into Australia so the infected were probably just eating one of them. Camels, sheep, cattle, and horse can all be found in that country. Kangaroos are pretty big, but not as big as the carcass in the movie. Besides that, love your channel and great job on the video. Can you do a video on Apollo 18 or one of the alien movies? And are we going to see another RE8 video?
So I read the wiki because I thought this movie's virus premise was pretty interesting, apparently the boy is actually a girl!(And I promise I don't expect you to go through and edit this monster of a video, that would be painstaking and it's honestly not worth it, I think everyone would understand).
Mass transfusion also tends to overload your immune system (you cannot fully match all bloodtypes subtypes, so there is always some immune response to foreign blood). So when put in contact with multiple antigens it tends to create immune shenanigans. This is why in ICU you tend to flash bacteriostatics antibiotics on infected patients who goes through mass transfusion. And even without pre existing infection, it is often that mass transfused patients will go through infection (actually getting more than 4CG is a risk factor for sepsis in almost all scales). Hard to make the part to know if it is a causality or a correlation, but the paradigm tends to say it's a causality.
As a South Aussie can confirm it gets bloody hot down here. We had 50c a few summers back (122f). As for big wildlife we have wild camels and wild horses (brumby) and even deer. Although deer aren't found out bush. Hoo-roo and keep up the great content.
Bro I've been watching your stuff so much that now I'm correctly guessing viral infections based on transmission vector and symptoms. I never considered biology an interest of mine, yet here I am learning about a potentially mutated strain of Ebola infecting Australia (presumably the world) and the potential reasons why someone would bury their head in the outback. So kudos to you man, you make some incredibly good content. If I could make a request, I really thought about all of the precautions one would have to take if an airborne virus or fungal spore with an insanely high lethality rating infected all unfiltered breathable air on the planet. For example, how many cracks in your home would need to be sealed, how many filters would be needed monthly to continue external oxygen consumption, or how much space one would need to have to create an ecosphere in which to inhabit (and water/nutrition for plants), what travel to locations to procure food would look like, and if water needed to be filtered or purified in any way how one would accomplish that... I don't know, I think that would make for an incredibly interesting video to see someone so knowledgeable go through the process for truly protecting themselves from such a scenario.
Just probably chased to exhaustion, humans can generally move farther than other animals. Used to listen to elders stories where they would chase down wolverines 12+ hrs on snowshoes
@@omniscientbarebones Not sure, as I'm not really familiar with Halo lore. For Doctor Who: In the late 2050's the first manned mission to Mars discovers a glacier near one of its poles. They harvest the glacier for drinking water and growing crops, but by the time the Doctor shows up, something in the water begins infecting the crew. What the infection is isn't really explained, but one member of the crew speculates it might be a virus. Whatever it is, it hijacks the mind and body, causes disfiguring cracks and fissures around the mouth, and causes the host to produce vast quantities of infected water from their mouths and pores, water they can use to attack or short out electrical systems. It is also sentient, as it spoke through one of its hosts, stating it would like to makes its way to Earth, presumably to spread the infection.
@@Scotttjt so it’s the Flood from Halo but actually a *Flood* Halo Flood is a Body controlling Parasite that rots it’s hosts flesh and contorts and tortures them. Not a natural force of nature. Also it’s spreads by spores and “Infection Forms” that kills the host by injecting the “Flood Super-cell” into the spine, spreading the infection throughout the Body.
I feel like an episode on the tumor from Malignant would probably do pretty well. Similar to how your White Spikes episode did great as the movie had just come out.
did you have honey with it too? Seriously looking at honey now kinda disturbs me.. that and maple syrup.. the real stuff not the high fructose corn syrup shit.
30:01 We don't have 'bears' but we do have deer, water buffalo/feral cows, camels and donkeys. Based off the bulk of that carcass, I'm going to guess it was probably a cow or a buffalo.
Literally the moment you started to talk about cov' was when my video cut off and i had to check to see if this new one was posted. Really funny timing.
"Which is a proper punishment for being a brainlet" Lol, so true. The moron protagonist even doesn't take the opportunity to kill a horrible apocalypse psychopath when he easily could have, no one would have cared/sought revenge for the guy, and he'd have gained a sweet compound out of the deal! Brainlet is putting it mildly!
While I like the premise of the movie a lot, and I did enjoy the majority of the film, I wish the events didn't occur because Bilbo Baggins and his wife had to be immensely stupid over and over despite knowing to be careful no matter what and absolutely getting away from infected... oh and make sure to kill the clearly psychotic/ violent guy when you have a chance so that your future baby protector DOESN'T get shot in the gut! That being said after the beginning of film dips out, and besides that stupid decision the rest is very good. 👍 Another great one! I always love these analysis videos! 🙂
I came back to this since it was recommended (again) and I still freaking giggle at 6:10 lmao I love your videos, and letting some pile up for a marathon soon enough. This is great stuff for when I am bored at work (or up at 4AM)
That's got to be filmed in an Australian winter, if it was summer you would see the heat waves and the filming equipment would start to melt! Also, we have livestock, the large animal corpse could be that or camels that have been introduced.

You'd think they would be more careful in such a situation, especially if they are being wary enough to stay on the river the whole time. Lying about possible danger is just about the dumbest thing you could do...
The woman knew what her husband was doing. Her looks spoke volumes. The kids were told they were digging for treasure. He had told Andy before that he should kill his baby, because there was no hope and that he had an extra bullet for her. If memory serves correctly mind you.
Man I wish writers could make characters NOT act like idiots. Why the hell wouldn't you tell your wife there were infected?? This entire movie could've been avoided, I felt so bad for the baby :(
yeah cats are awesome. we recently realized my cat mittens is super old. old enough that we assumed we were both a little crazy until I looked up how old the longest lived domestic feline was. surprisingly 38. Mittens was born when I was 13 and I'm 46 now. lol that makes Mittens 33. I mean she definitely doesn't look like a kitten but most think she's around 15. other than when we got her spayed she's never been to the vet. never been sick or injured. just a happy healthy old lady. but 33 dang
The end of the movie was so sad... How he suddenly calmed down as he smelled the scent of his wife's perfume. Showing he still somehow recognized it. 😔
I had something when I was a kid called impetigo. Usually, from what I gather it is a mild infection. Mine was not. It covered my entire head and face with yellow scabby type stuff, that was essentially dried puss. Whatever that puss was made up of, I'm not entirely sure. But I looked like the people in this movie.
My biggest issue with the movie has always been the location - where they start and where they end up, that is NOT a 2 day walk, I don't care how fast you move, especially once you consider how much they backtrack. Even if they left at a navigationally high point like Morgan, you'd be lucky to get to Wilpena Pound in a week. Which also means it couldn't have been a cow the uninfected were feasting on, cattle stations are much further north, they'd still be in sheep station country, easily identifiable by the saltbush plains and the fact its the Flinders Ranges. Which also makes it too far east for camels, you need to go further west to the Gawler Ranges for that I've lived in or near all those areas, so am very familiar with them
The whole maternal instinct and the tone of a crying baby thing made total sense. Well the part about cats meowing at the same tone...I have 4 adopted cats and I'm taking care of 4 more by my fiance's work. It's not I'm turning into the male equivalent of a cat lady, it's just my maternal instinct taking over from their meowing. Thanks Roanoke
The smell memory thing is so weird. I have a VS body spray that always reminds me of the sea world water park. Doesn't smell like chlorine or anything but the smell brings back that memory every time!
Couple of things about Australia… yes that sort of distance between service stations is normal in regional areas, though the sign would say fuel not gas as service stations sell petrol, diesel and natural gas to power your car so gas refers to natural gas or LPG and not an abbreviation of gasoline. We’ve got the largest wild population of camels as well as huge herds of horses and cattle roaming near enough to wild and lastly fosters beer is not consumed here haha its an exported beer and I can’t say I’ve seen it in a liquor store in a very long time…
Going to recomment: the animal was most likely cattle or a male kangaroo since a lot of beef cattle are raised in the outback and female kangaroos arent very big
@@RoanokeGaming Male red kangaroos can get between 1.3-1.6 m (4.3-5.2 ft) tall; not including the tail, and 55 to 90 kg (121 to 198 lb) heavy. I’d still wager it was cattle considering how fast/mean kangaroos can be
@@RoanokeGaming some of the biggest males end up around and over 6 feet tall when standing up right tho most are around 5'9-5'10 (excluding tail, when they rest on their tail while fighting theyre shorter)
@@OwesomeJJ im gunna have to say no on that since if male reds (the largest kangaroos) topped at 5'2 they would only JUST be taller then me and theres a shit ton of evidence of them towering over people much taller then me and also every source i coupd find averaged at 5'9/5'10
@@validark A couple of the caprices I was reading put them average 1.4 metres tall, with the big mature males getting fairly larger. Honestly I think it depends what website you go on to look. The ones I’ve seen in parks/sanctuaries here in Aus have usually only been about my height of 5.3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wild ones are probably beefier though?
What fucked me up about the movie was the whole nihilism of it. It's like with the mist, the idea of mercy killing family and loved ones is heart wrenching. Especially in cases like this where there is no happy ending where there is hope for a better future (at least not immediately) and where they resign to stopping the suffering.The man made sure the kids would survive hell he made himself their mule, he knew he couldnt bring himself to off his baby. it just hits different man.
Another GREAT and well thought out video roanoke. Now time for one of my favorite lines, which seems to be something I like to pick and comment on apparently...."So now player three has entered the game" Wahahahaha
The kid's name is Thoomi and she's a girl. Etta says her name and says "*she* was one of my students." Vic (the gun waving ahole) refers to her explicitly as a girl. She's referred to a couple times with 'she' and 'her'. I definitely assumed she was a boy at first, but by the middle of the film it's made pretty textual that Thoomi is a girl.
The way that the virus causes the congealed plasma sort of reminds me of cellulitis. I've unfortunately had it before on my had due to a job I was working at and the two have similar looks.
Animal being eaten could have been cattle. Based on coloration and the fact that it is Australia, would lean towards Adaptaur or Braford cattle. Carcass looked to big for even a large red kangaroo, coupled with what looks like a relatively straight back and deep rib cage from sternum to spine leads me to the conclusion that it was a cattle carcass.

Good job
What got flagged?
I was gonna say. I literally just watched this yesterday
I remember watching this on HBOmax wondering what the heck I got myself into glad their finally a breakdown of this!!! But when u ever gonna black goo virus from Prometheus Roanoke?
I love how most people consider zombies to be the most dangerous threat of the movie.But no one ever thinks about the flies,rats,mice,roaches etc carrying the disease around even if they are immune to it.And just think about the mosquitoes
The Walking Dead gets around that by having everyone already be infected but they only turn when they die or are bitten/heavily injured i guess lol

@@mysticalspace2596 yep true
@@mysticalspace2596 i mean, have we ever seen a medically proper amputation in one of these settings? In theory, if they had the ability to amputate, cauterize, and give them meds to fight off infections besides the zombie virus, they could have a good survival rate from it. Just dont perform the procedure with something previously used to kill a zombie (Lee)
@@StaticDraco what did you mean by (lee)
I am extremely interested in the world of "cargo". The information on the virus that was made publically available and the kits given out leads me to believe the government had a decent understanding of what was happening before there was a total breakdown. I really would like to see what a military and containment response to this virus looked like.
all it took was probably enough people not following the quarantines, and that is how things got out of hand pretty quickly, since these are pretty much just really sick people. and there isnt much a normal person or soldier could do. like you would have to be pretty sick to shoot at your own people. even if they are dangerous because of a sickness. you can already see this during the pandemic with people breaking quarantines even when they are infected and some areas suddenly becoming hot spots. only way to deal with this one i think is dictatorial levels of control where anyone breaking curfew gets shot on the spot and anyone perceived infected gets quarantined or killed. which would be pretty hard to do in the western world
As an Australian living in Victoria given the current real world pandemic as a model this is pretty much spot on in my opinion.
A military response would be "cleansing."
Any kind of zombie from any movie is never going to get through an armoured vehicle, let alone a tank. If there's a people vs zombie military standoff/ conflict, the zombies will get wiped out every time. Even if the military doesn't have access to IFVs, APCs or MBTs, they could very easily and very quickly build a fortified military camp defended with .50 BMGs, any one of which will turn a series of zombies into red mist with chunks. You don't even need all that construction; you mount a .50 BMG on a flatbed truck and you can dismantle zombies at your leisure, without any fear of them being able to catch you. Even if the military in question is the poorest military in the world, they could still make some clever traps that lure the zombies into an area, funnel them towards slippery ground that slopes downwards and leads into the chomping blades of a combine harvester.
Whatever option you take, within a VERY short time of getting the military involved, any zombie threat is over.
@@Raz.C Yeah but usuallyyy the problem is people being dumb half the time the military doesn't have time to mobilize they either get totally wiped out before getting in their trucks OR someone on the inside is infected hiding it and infects everyone wiping it out from the inside. Mostly in zombie movies its human error leading to them dying not lack of weapons.
@@darkbound9013 "As an Australian living in Victoria" my brain instantly felt sadness for you because of what has been happening lately with laws being implemented there.
Alright mate, as a South Aussie let me clue you into a few things. 1- that was a little girl. 2 - our summers don't often have much green. 3 - Roos can get big, but we also have plenty of cattle farms and a few feral horses running about (amongst other things). 4 - Fosters is what the tourists drink, I can't remember the last time I saw a Fosters at the bottle shop. 5 - our current federal government dissolved our pandemic response unit when they got into power back in 2013. If this happened IRL our prime minister would probably go on another overseas holiday and wait for it all to blow over. 6 - I forgot where I was going with this, but keep your eyes open for drop bears. They'll rip your head off
I hear they like the blood of tourists the most
7 - New Zealand may just be cover for unknown Sheep civilization ala planet of the Apes, with humans as their slaves.
What in the fucking fuck is a drop bear?????????
@Baka Gajin so...a fictional koala bear? I say that from the quick look up I did.
Didn’t your PM shit himself in a Mc Donald’s once?
The child is a girl!!!
She is performing mourning rituals for her late father as some Aboriginal women in some Aboriginal communities do. She is performing them by herself, though, because she didn't want to give up on her dad getting better and ran off with him to hide him away from her community who would "kill him" if they found him (when he is infected she doesn't see him as dead yet...just sick). It is only at the end of the movie that she and her community share the knowledge that there is some humanity still left in the "sick" people and that they kill the sick "with kindness" ( they have an understanding and compassion for the people that the zombies were before they were sick) knowing they won't get better.
What we learned: always warn people of dangerous areas. Entire movie could have been avoided if he just said "dont go to that boat, there's one of them ebola patients on it."

Fun fact, Roanoake, but Australia does have feral cattle. Cows and camels have been turned loose in (if I remember correctly) Northern Australia and at least the former are regularly rounded up by cattle ranchers. There's a good chance that the animal that's there, since it's the right size, is probably a cow rather than a kangaroo. Roo's are big, but I'm sure that carcass was a bit *too big* to be a Kangaroo
A Red Kangaroo can weigh 90kg and can grow two metres tall.
Also they have wild horses over there
only way to really know is if it had a bigger shot
This movie should be talked about more. Andy’s love for Rosie is so beautiful. The whole film is him doing everything he can to ensure her survival.

I was scrolling down wondering when someone would mention the feral camels.
"secret", well it's mostly just a ton of people dont know. Australia exports camels to Middle Eastern countries
I like that you called it a secret animal. It makes me feel like an explorer having discovered that fact
Not a secret.
It is a custom in some Indigenous Australian cultures for people, particularly women, to strike themselves with rocks during moments of extreme emotional distress. I suppose it's a way of externalising the pain.
I wonder if there is some connection between that act and cutting? Different reasons but both still externalizing mental anguish
@@nerium.nerium both are acts of self harm, so they are at least somewhat related
Or redirecting pain
@@SevereUwu You can't re direct emotional pain by hurting yourself physically
@@neonraindrop8357 you can though, temporarily. Physical pain can distract from the mental pain, prioritising physical pain is necessary for survival. Emotional pain can also be related to high or low arousal. With low arousal the person will feel numb and empty, physical pain causes arousal which can bring the person to their "window of tolerance" aka the arousal level that is comfortable. High arousal can make a person feel agitation or anguish among other things, can be relieved by feeling physical pain that distracts from it. The physical pain can make the emotional pain feel more real. Physical pain also releases a lot of endorphins and other hormones that make you feel good. Self harm can be really addictive and it's not a good long term coping mechanisms, but if a person is in deep emotional distress it makes sense to cause physical pain and it's seen in other species as well.

Conspiracy theory: This is actually his first time posting this but the content is so well done that an alternate version of yourself travels to your timeline and merges with you to share the memory of this video
Counter conspiracy:
This is actually the effect of an alternative timeline Roanoke that traveled back to our time to prevent him from revealing a real life contamination via a real found footage clip that contained specific color and light patterns that created a Thought Virus. In a similar vein that 'soft cat = I must pat' is a way for cats to subtly control mankind, future-time Roanoke originally played a clip about the thought virus which unintentionally contained the pattern that caused it. Just think of what Cave Johnson said in Portal 2 "Don't think about it. No, we're serious. Visualizing the affect actually triggers the symptoms."

To note about the cats. Cats actually very rarely use meows or other verbal communication between other cats (other than obvious ones like hissing and such), except when they are kittens, when they mew to get their mother to pay attention to them.
Cats learned that humans are dumb-as-a-post when it comes to understanding their non-verbal communication (postures, body language, etc), but *do* respond when they make sounds like when they were kittens. So cats are literally using baby-talk when they are trying to communicate with us big dumb furless oafs.
Funny one of my late cats used to barely meow and maybe due to growing up with cats and being quite introverted I always felt like I could tell what she wanted me to do just by observing her and now that I think about it our very talkative cat is noticeable more quiet around me than my mother. I guess I'm slightly more capable than most humans according to cats which is a way better accomplishment than functioning in society if you ask me
Ever since playing "The Forest" and encountering the various multiple mutants... Something has been bothering me. Spoilers for those who haven't played/seen it.
While there are superbatural elements implied with the artifacts you find in the secret research facility, it's never explicitely stated to be supernatural... Which leads me to believe that either it's some alien technology or mutagenic bioweapon that was either lost or sealed away on the planet. I want to see Roanoke give his take on what this could be, as well as go into detail of what the biological changes could mean, and potentially what the artifacts might have been origionally used for.
I didn't find any supernatural elements just a shit ton of crosses which gets explained away with the fact that missionaries were on the island. Not sure what rhe scientists aimed to do or what's generating the clones. That is just spooky
Yeah that would be pretty cool. Maybe wait until the new one comes out, we might just get some answers
@@shelldie8523 What interests me most (though I forget if it's in the cave that leads to the lab, or the one that is in it) is the section of cave that has a monilith in it surrounded by a ledge littered with Skeletons that look like they were all petrified in an instant. There are also verious paintings in several caves that indicate that it was already seen as supernatural by the natives long before the missionaries stepped onto the island. As for the second artifact, for what it can do, it is way too advanced to not be alien technology, and the small sphere you can find after getting the key from the boat that gives you some control over the mutants and natives also leads me to believe the bioweapon possibility.

@@slevinchannel7589 Doesn't the movie "the forest" have absolutely nothing to do with the game "the forest"? (The movie was stupid as fuck though)
As I said on the last video, I appreciate you bringing up the infected's need for sustenance. In any sort of outbreak/zombie scenario I always play it out in my head and if I never see the infected drinking water then the infection won't last beyond a week. Those zombies will be dropping like flies without the ability to maintain a proper working biomachine. I can see lessening the need for food but we're squishy water bags with sentience. Remove that water and we can't even move.
That’s why I always thought the zombies on the walking dead were stupid, because some of them had gone years without any food and yet were still moving about 🤔
Yeah most zombie movies in the real world would be more like zombie weeks since a lot of zombies just stay outside all the time.
I guess they could start getting some water from their food if the physical changes were drastic enough but it wouldn't do more than delay the inevitable.
So that is neat, if you ever see the news of a classical zombie out break just fill up a jug of water and hide in your basement until you can't anymore. You will out live them unless they are supernatural or retain their intellect and keep drinking and eating things aside from humans.
Why I love movies like 28 days later. Or games like Days Gone.
In 28 days later. The zombies just straight up starve. A month after and the apocalypse is over
In Days Gone. The zombies are more like just animals. They hunt in pack. Eat grass, berries, meat. Both humans and other animals. They drink water and even sleep and hibernate.
I think the reason why so many people are so calm about dying would most likely be because it would probably be preferential than staying in a world where it seems like nowhere is safe, and at any moment, your entire family will slowly die in front of you, as opposed to something instant happening like a heart attack or car crash. Impending doom can really take a toll on people, and the dread and thought that inevitably turning into something that will kill or hurt other people is far worse than death, and in the case of the husband who was bit, and the wife and 2 children, most likely, the wife couldn't bare the thought of her children having to grow up in a world like this.
Trigger warning for suicide: when I was younger, I was extremely depressed. For over a year I contemplated suicide, and one day, I decided to go through with it. I won't go into detail of what I did, however, in the moments before I attempted suicide, I felt more calm than I ever had been before, simply because I knew the pain was going to end soon. Thankfully I failed to do so, as 11 years later, I'm much much happier and live an amazing life that I wouldn't give up for anything.
I’m glad you’re still here friend ❤ I also attempted in childhood and I’m glad it didn’t work but I also get the feeling calm - I didn’t see any way out of my situation and the idea of being free from that pain made me feel at ease like “ finally I won’t be suffering any,ore”. I’m now in my 20s and finally free from all of that and I wish I could give younger me a hug and say it’ll be okay
Watched it yesterday. Watching it again today for you Roanoke.
I appreciate that! :)
Kangaroo tastes pretty good. The infected having taken down one with their bare hands is a little unbelievable though, those things can wreck you and trying to take one down without a force multiplier is a pretty bad idea. (My uncle is Australian and culls Kangaroos and wild pigs pretty regularly)
Depends if it was a wallaby or a roo. And if you had enough infected they could definitely do enough damage to atleast lethally mame one. Either that or they found one that was hit by a car but I doubt it
@@Au_Aquatica I forgot wallabies existed xD and also makes sensd, enough infected could probably take down a rhino
@@Au_Aquatica tbh, looked more like a cow. seen plenty of cows on the side of the road on the highways. plus i'd assume cows would be more easy to take down for zombies lol
It was likely caught by Persistence Hunting which is basically casually catching up to something until it gets tired to kill it.
Kangaroos will usually just run away, but since The Fracked can smell living meat, it wouldn't matter much since they'd constantly keep following it without tiring unlike the Kangaroo.
@@maylabrown4584 makes sense since if the Fracked are reverted to factory settings they'll basically walk down prey as we're persistence hunters by nature
If 28 Days Later taught me anything, it's that 'natural' zombies have a shelf-life. They don't farm. They don't fish. That applies here as well. Stay on the boat. Good movie, anyways.

Watching videos about this movie on UA-cam is actually how I stumbled onto this channel. Full circle! But one minor detail-the aboriginal child is actually a girl.
YES, it bugged me when he called her a boy.
Yo Roanoke. The hitting in the head with a rock thing is a tradition between a number of Australian Aboriginal tribes, done after a loss. I'm not quite sure the specifics - I believe that it is done under specific death circumstances, like if they feel they could've done something and failed etc, but that's not straight from the mouth of one who practices it.
These sorts of traditions also vary by a large degree between different tribes.
It's sad that this whole problem could've not happen if he sad it wasn't safe or there was no shaving razor 😅

Before I had my baby sister, I never really had a reaction to the baby, but after I did, I got pretty protective over her, and now every time I see the baby, I get some really bad anxiety knowing what could happen to her, even though I've seen this movie a bunch of times.
I love that in this movie the government actually visibly tried. In a lot of zombie movies it seems like they didn’t try at all or where destroyed unreasonably fast. But they nailed down a relative turning time, distributed maps of unsafe areas, cards clearly showing symptoms of infection, kept broadcasting updates over radio, and even gave people a method to quickly dispatch themselves if it comes to it.
The animal that the infected were eating was probably a cow or horse. Europeans introduced a lot of domestic animals into Australia so the infected were probably just eating one of them. Camels, sheep, cattle, and horse can all be found in that country. Kangaroos are pretty big, but not as big as the carcass in the movie.
Besides that, love your channel and great job on the video. Can you do a video on Apollo 18 or one of the alien movies? And are we going to see another RE8 video?

I wonder what would happen if someone were to get a transfusion when infected among many other scenarios.
Oh they'd totally be infected
@@RoanokeGaming I suspect OP meant, to replace the altered blood, to attempt to delay death
@@orinocointf2 that would probably buy them some time but it won't solve the problem
Mass transfusion also tends to overload your immune system (you cannot fully match all bloodtypes subtypes, so there is always some immune response to foreign blood). So when put in contact with multiple antigens it tends to create immune shenanigans.
This is why in ICU you tend to flash bacteriostatics antibiotics on infected patients who goes through mass transfusion.
And even without pre existing infection, it is often that mass transfused patients will go through infection (actually getting more than 4CG is a risk factor for sepsis in almost all scales). Hard to make the part to know if it is a causality or a correlation, but the paradigm tends to say it's a causality.
As a South Aussie can confirm it gets bloody hot down here. We had 50c a few summers back (122f). As for big wildlife we have wild camels and wild horses (brumby) and even deer. Although deer aren't found out bush. Hoo-roo and keep up the great content.
Bro I've been watching your stuff so much that now I'm correctly guessing viral infections based on transmission vector and symptoms.
I never considered biology an interest of mine, yet here I am learning about a potentially mutated strain of Ebola infecting Australia (presumably the world) and the potential reasons why someone would bury their head in the outback.
So kudos to you man, you make some incredibly good content.
If I could make a request, I really thought about all of the precautions one would have to take if an airborne virus or fungal spore with an insanely high lethality rating infected all unfiltered breathable air on the planet. For example, how many cracks in your home would need to be sealed, how many filters would be needed monthly to continue external oxygen consumption, or how much space one would need to have to create an ecosphere in which to inhabit (and water/nutrition for plants), what travel to locations to procure food would look like, and if water needed to be filtered or purified in any way how one would accomplish that...
I don't know, I think that would make for an incredibly interesting video to see someone so knowledgeable go through the process for truly protecting themselves from such a scenario.

Not sure, as I'm not really familiar with Halo lore.
For Doctor Who: In the late 2050's the first manned mission to Mars discovers a glacier near one of its poles. They harvest the glacier for drinking water and growing crops, but by the time the Doctor shows up, something in the water begins infecting the crew.
What the infection is isn't really explained, but one member of the crew speculates it might be a virus. Whatever it is, it hijacks the mind and body, causes disfiguring cracks and fissures around the mouth, and causes the host to produce vast quantities of infected water from their mouths and pores, water they can use to attack or short out electrical systems.
It is also sentient, as it spoke through one of its hosts, stating it would like to makes its way to Earth, presumably to spread the infection.

Also it’s spreads by spores and “Infection Forms” that kills the host by injecting the “Flood Super-cell” into the spine, spreading the infection throughout the Body.
Hey smoothskin
I feel like an episode on the tumor from Malignant would probably do pretty well. Similar to how your White Spikes episode did great as the movie had just come out.
Really looking forward to seeing what you discover when diving into the nanosuit and *as one person corrected me on* the Ceph from crysis
Looking forward to that too!
Roanokes like one of those Indian guys on UA-cam.
I learn way more watching his video than I ever do in school.
Ayyyy thanks for the compliment man!
Mutahar?
Bad time to be eating apple sauce.
Just try not to compare it to the blood lol
did you have honey with it too?
Seriously looking at honey now kinda disturbs me..
that and maple syrup.. the real stuff not the high fructose corn syrup shit.
I love how this comment section is filed with friendly Australians explaining the wildlife of Australia more than the video
30:01 We don't have 'bears' but we do have deer, water buffalo/feral cows, camels and donkeys. Based off the bulk of that carcass, I'm going to guess it was probably a cow or a buffalo.
I love how that "game over needle" is just a solder cleaner
Saw that. I actually have that solder sucker and totally recognised it.
Already watched this twice but let's help my boy Roanoke with that revenue.
Hey man I always appreciate people who watch, not just revenue but it also gives it a chance of not nose diving into the dirt lol
Quality content from you is no surprise, it's a law of nature.
Like Entropy, and Minecraft.
It is inevitable
Thanks for existing, my guy.
Literally the moment you started to talk about cov' was when my video cut off and i had to check to see if this new one was posted. Really funny timing.
"Which is a proper punishment for being a brainlet"
Lol, so true. The moron protagonist even doesn't take the opportunity to kill a horrible apocalypse psychopath when he easily could have, no one would have cared/sought revenge for the guy, and he'd have gained a sweet compound out of the deal! Brainlet is putting it mildly!
“Spike temple introduction program” 😂
Nothing beats a good sense of humor.
While I like the premise of the movie a lot, and I did enjoy the majority of the film, I wish the events didn't occur because Bilbo Baggins and his wife had to be immensely stupid over and over despite knowing to be careful no matter what and absolutely getting away from infected... oh and make sure to kill the clearly psychotic/ violent guy when you have a chance so that your future baby protector DOESN'T get shot in the gut! That being said after the beginning of film dips out, and besides that stupid decision the rest is very good. 👍
Another great one! I always love these analysis videos! 🙂
I came back to this since it was recommended (again) and I still freaking giggle at 6:10 lmao I love your videos, and letting some pile up for a marathon soon enough. This is great stuff for when I am bored at work (or up at 4AM)
That's got to be filmed in an Australian winter, if it was summer you would see the heat waves and the filming equipment would start to melt! Also, we have livestock, the large animal corpse could be that or camels that have been introduced.
1:07 “I’m stuck stepbro!”
Me craving red meat immediately after getting over Corona, to the the point I ate a steak every day for 5 days. Just steak, and nothing else because my stomach couldn't handle it. I am... Corona Caveman 🤣
I just stumbled onto this movie on TV one day and decided to check it out and was surprised by how good it was! Rare treat.
Hey Roanoke, I know it may not be your area of expertise, but I'd really be interested in your take on the Fallout creatures. Ghouls, Deathclaws, Super Mutants, Mirelurks, and the such. Really enjoy your content man, keep it up.
My instinctive reaction to a baby crying is shouting "SHUT UP"
"The reason you get agitated by a crying baby isn't because it's annoying, but because by nature you feel there's a threat to the child"
Nah I hate kids, it's definitely because they annoy me.
*Nervous system activated*
When you are the danger.
“He’s really feeling it mr,crabs” has me dead asf😂😂😂
I'm a dumbass I saw the community post about this getting taken down and still clicked the notification 🙃
No no, go on ;)
same here. thought i was having a ground hog moment there.
NO kidding, even woke up late due to incorrectly set alarm. Just.. FUUuuuuuu.
As someone with migraines i too feel like burrowing my head in the floor sometimes
I wonder if you'd be willing to cover Warframe's Technocyte infection. Although I do not know if it's interesting enough nor am certain if there's enough to look into
It's definitely interesting, like a more severe version of the flood with the different strains and ability to infect flesh, machines and even AIs
@@Metroid51 That's a fair point actually. Well if he decides to cover it,I hope he finds enough information. I hope he can find a way to mix biology, technology and realism into this
Oh and I see you've been asking for the same thing in his channel
Isn’t the technocyte infection from dark sector?
@@bloodshdalwayz3565 Well I don't know about dark sector but that's definitely what's present in Warframe. I mean yanno,there are a lot of things used in Warframe from dark sector
@@silencedkarma7154 ye for sure was just wondering because I can’t remember hearing the proper name for the infected in warframe. ngl I would love videos on both since the one in dark sector is just as interesting and seems like it’d be less awkward to explain than trying to figure out whatever the ancient infected are😂
You'd think they would be more careful in such a situation, especially if they are being wary enough to stay on the river the whole time. Lying about possible danger is just about the dumbest thing you could do...
The woman knew what her husband was doing. Her looks spoke volumes. The kids were told they were digging for treasure. He had told Andy before that he should kill his baby, because there was no hope and that he had an extra bullet for her.
If memory serves correctly mind you.
Man I wish writers could make characters NOT act like idiots. Why the hell wouldn't you tell your wife there were infected?? This entire movie could've been avoided, I felt so bad for the baby :(
Re-upload or not. I always end up watching them again..
I appreciate the support man!
yeah cats are awesome. we recently realized my cat mittens is super old. old enough that we assumed we were both a little crazy until I looked up how old the longest lived domestic feline was. surprisingly 38. Mittens was born when I was 13 and I'm 46 now. lol that makes Mittens 33. I mean she definitely doesn't look like a kitten but most think she's around 15. other than when we got her spayed she's never been to the vet. never been sick or injured. just a happy healthy old lady. but 33 dang
The end of the movie was so sad... How he suddenly calmed down as he smelled the scent of his wife's perfume. Showing he still somehow recognized it. 😔
16:11 is where you want to go if you don't want to miss ANY of that sweet, sweet science.
I had something when I was a kid called impetigo. Usually, from what I gather it is a mild infection. Mine was not. It covered my entire head and face with yellow scabby type stuff, that was essentially dried puss. Whatever that puss was made up of, I'm not entirely sure. But I looked like the people in this movie.
I doubt that was a kangaroo the mini-horde was feeding on, they don’t really get THAT big. However, we have wild camels out that way like no tomorrow!
My biggest issue with the movie has always been the location - where they start and where they end up, that is NOT a 2 day walk, I don't care how fast you move, especially once you consider how much they backtrack. Even if they left at a navigationally high point like Morgan, you'd be lucky to get to Wilpena Pound in a week.
Which also means it couldn't have been a cow the uninfected were feasting on, cattle stations are much further north, they'd still be in sheep station country, easily identifiable by the saltbush plains and the fact its the Flinders Ranges. Which also makes it too far east for camels, you need to go further west to the Gawler Ranges for that
I've lived in or near all those areas, so am very familiar with them
The whole maternal instinct and the tone of a crying baby thing made total sense. Well the part about cats meowing at the same tone...I have 4 adopted cats and I'm taking care of 4 more by my fiance's work. It's not I'm turning into the male equivalent of a cat lady, it's just my maternal instinct taking over from their meowing. Thanks Roanoke
The smell memory thing is so weird. I have a VS body spray that always reminds me of the sea world water park. Doesn't smell like chlorine or anything but the smell brings back that memory every time!
Couple of things about Australia… yes that sort of distance between service stations is normal in regional areas, though the sign would say fuel not gas as service stations sell petrol, diesel and natural gas to power your car so gas refers to natural gas or LPG and not an abbreviation of gasoline. We’ve got the largest wild population of camels as well as huge herds of horses and cattle roaming near enough to wild and lastly fosters beer is not consumed here haha its an exported beer and I can’t say I’ve seen it in a liquor store in a very long time…
Going to recomment: the animal was most likely cattle or a male kangaroo since a lot of beef cattle are raised in the outback and female kangaroos arent very big
What about male kangaroos?
@@RoanokeGaming Male red kangaroos can get between 1.3-1.6 m (4.3-5.2 ft) tall; not including the tail, and 55 to 90 kg (121 to 198 lb) heavy. I’d still wager it was cattle considering how fast/mean kangaroos can be
@@RoanokeGaming some of the biggest males end up around and over 6 feet tall when standing up right tho most are around 5'9-5'10 (excluding tail, when they rest on their tail while fighting theyre shorter)
@@OwesomeJJ im gunna have to say no on that since if male reds (the largest kangaroos) topped at 5'2 they would only JUST be taller then me and theres a shit ton of evidence of them towering over people much taller then me and also every source i coupd find averaged at 5'9/5'10
@@validark A couple of the caprices I was reading put them average 1.4 metres tall, with the big mature males getting fairly larger. Honestly I think it depends what website you go on to look. The ones I’ve seen in parks/sanctuaries here in Aus have usually only been about my height of 5.3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wild ones are probably beefier though?
Man, this virus is really creepy and just horrific, the movie really made it feel realistic and makes the audience really feel for the main characters
What fucked me up about the movie was the whole nihilism of it. It's like with the mist, the idea of mercy killing family and loved ones is heart wrenching. Especially in cases like this where there is no happy ending where there is hope for a better future (at least not immediately) and where they resign to stopping the suffering.The man made sure the kids would survive hell he made himself their mule, he knew he couldnt bring himself to off his baby. it just hits different man.
Roanoke can you cover the bloodfly infestation and the symbiotic relationship with a nest keeper from Dishonored 2?
Another GREAT and well thought out video roanoke. Now time for one of my favorite lines, which seems to be something I like to pick and comment on apparently...."So now player three has entered the game" Wahahahaha
The kid's name is Thoomi and she's a girl. Etta says her name and says "*she* was one of my students." Vic (the gun waving ahole) refers to her explicitly as a girl. She's referred to a couple times with 'she' and 'her'.
I definitely assumed she was a boy at first, but by the middle of the film it's made pretty textual that Thoomi is a girl.
This confirms the multiverse, keep it up big man!!!
The way that the virus causes the congealed plasma sort of reminds me of cellulitis. I've unfortunately had it before on my had due to a job I was working at and the two have similar looks.
This man playing TLOU track. Man of culture👌🏼👌🏼
The tried and true concept of filling a horror movie with Creeposaurs.
I was half asleep when you said auto breathing I woke up out of breath
Animal being eaten could have been cattle. Based on coloration and the fact that it is Australia, would lean towards Adaptaur or Braford cattle. Carcass looked to big for even a large red kangaroo, coupled with what looks like a relatively straight back and deep rib cage from sternum to spine leads me to the conclusion that it was a cattle carcass.
