That silly "clang!" stock sound effect at around 3:15 when Calvin hits the pod door at full speed still cracks me up. Like, I was totally invested in the movie until that happened, it's like if the movie ALIEN had the Wilhelm Scream...
I agree that Calvin would probably continue on his way to feed from the humans, but there's also the possibility that he would understand that the humans didn't mean to be so bad. He might see them as beneficial if he worked with them. After all, all the astronauts needed to do was not electro-shock him, and he would probably be fine.
If he becomes sentient like us he would probably see us more as a beneficial partner because we have technology also their are bigger things to eat than humans
Yeah but the thing is calvin is young and primitive, he may be intelligent but he doesn't know what humans are, he only sees that they are on the ship. Before he could make a rational decision like that he'd first need to be put in a situation where he is forced to think long term and learn about his enemy, in this movie it doesn't seem he was ever put in a position like that since nothing could truly stop him in the moment. So, the most logical thing to do when something tries to harm you and it can't actually defeat you, is to eliminate the immediate threat, which is what we see happen in the movie.
Probably with better security measures than a space station, Calvin could've been better contained as he was experimented upon. He also seems more adept to life in zero g, maybe life down a gravity well might have not agreed with him too well.

@@samuelbedsole5089 Okay. But at the end of the movie, Calvin is on Earth stuck in the capsule with David, that is until the fishermen try to help Dave.
There are two theories I have: 1. Because of Mars' fading atmosphere and depleting food source, Calvin would evolve to grow according to its prey's bodymass and after it would run out of the prey's nutrients, it would slowly consume its own body as way to "double its food source"; and because of it's intellingence, whatever Calvin was going up against, IT WAS SCARY. Or 2. Calvin was designed by something, it devoured the entire planet, and when there was nothing else to pull energy from, not even the atmosphere, it began to consume itself until it was only one cell and went dormant. Either way, for something like Calvin to exist in Mars makes me wonder of what other horrors lead to the creation of such a deadly and smart being. O_o

I always thought Calvin was just an animal that was being put into a bad situation. It wasn't hostile until something was hostile to it. However, I fully concede that hostilities were bound to happen in the future. Even if not when Hugh zapped it, then sometime in the future when it was running out of food, or growing too big. You can put a big lion and a big bear into a cage together, and even if space was not an issue, but only fed these 2 large creatures a small amount. Sooner or later they would fight for that food. We see that in the wild all the time! Eventually an animal will get so hungry that it will fight a much larger predator for what little bit of food there is.

I love your way of analyzing this movie, I think that not looking like a sentient being to us is what makes us lack the empathy for him, but it would probably be an allied to humanity if they have treated him gently.
Hey there! Studying biology here and honestly, you're among the VERY few channels that actually take essential things into account, like the "animal" not behaving as you would like because they have primal drives. Just wanted to let the compliment here and keep up the good work, was an entertaining video! :)
It's like you said, a different outcome. He might sees them as friends but like all animals or creatures they need to feed. If they share the food they have on the ship, they might live longer, possibly be friends with him. Although, if they ran out of foods, he might attack out of instincts to survive and possibly store them for later. Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
His docileness is actually quite odd. When he was hugging the leg, dude being hugged didn't even initially feel it or cry in pain. On top of that, Calvin seems extremely efficient with food and material, especially with his cell being able to go into hibernation like that, so he probably doesn't need food that badly. He's also clearly very intelligent and so could've been taught to do stuff for his food. Plus, considering he is from a planet, there should be a limit to the size he will grow to before natural genetic limits hold him back, although at that point he might just split in 2 or something, or not have that limit in g=0 environments. I'd say the best comparison in behaviour to make is that of an octopus (my friend works at an aquarium and spends a lot of time dealing with shit from the octopus they have there); will probably be cheeky AF stealing fish from other tanks and stuff but is intelligent enough not to bite the hand that feeds it, so long as it is fed, very curious but cautious enough not to just attack everything it thinks it would win against unless provoked. So, with this as the basis of his behaviour: Calvin could be trained to do all sorts of things, and would be really good at many of those things. Being able to store oxygen means he could repair parts of ships with far more accuracy than a human, once he learned to act accurately. He could be his own ship clinging to rockets that launch him around, along with some railguns, if you just put some slow-release oxygen canisters inside of him, and he would then be humanity's best fighter against xeno scum. But if he just wants to eat stuff, they could've at least yeeted him into the sun or something by luring him into a capsule with some food and saying their goodbyes.
it's implied that he killed all life on Mars. It's not like most life on Earth that can generally reach equilibrium when something new comes along. For that you have to have high enough diversity, and selection pressures that are strong enough to keep the evolutionary arms race going, but not so strong that nothing is able to survive them. Humans would be an example of a selection pressure that's too strong. Whatever caused the Permian-Triassic Extinction c. 252mya, and wiped out something like 80% of all life on Earth, was almost too strong.... life was almost relegated back to insects and microbes (just as an aside, our current mass extinction is several times worse than the P-T extinction and is so far the only known mass extinction that has affected insects...) Kalvin seems wayyyy stronger than either of those. He could likely strip all life on Earth within a few years or decades. He is less like a new apex predator that will reach its own equilibrium with prey through negative feedback loops, and more like a swarm of locusts, that rely on constantly finding new sources of food to survive and grow, leaving devastation behind them. And because he can seemingly go dormant for likely millions of years (because it seems highly unlikely that Mars has had life any more recently than that, if it ever has), he can do this locust thing over extreme timescales, geological timescales. He eats a planet's entire biosphere, and then hibernates until either an intelligent species inadvertently transports him to new worlds, or he is ejected from the planet by natural means (volcanism, meteors, etc). It may take billions of years for him to reach a new world this way, but he doesn't care. That's just how his species works. Eventually the comet he's hitched a ride on will collide with something that has a biosphere, and he can start all over again. There's more evidence for this too: the fact that he seemingly breaks back down into a single-celled form once he's done eating, so as to cover as much of the planet's surface area as possible and make it far more likely that one of those cells will be able to seed another world.
The thing is...it may be a possibility that Calvin was after a lot of bloodshed, befriended because he got more and more intelligent as we saw, so there could have been a point where humans would be able to crudely converse with him or make an apology to him. To make him see that it was a misunderstanding and no one really wanted to hurt him in the first place.
I felt the same way about Calvin after watching the movie the first time. If he had the chance to show his intelligence it could have turned out way differently. He figured out how to keep the escape pod on course, communication would have developed way faster than his growth rate. Edit: just remembered the way he looked at the earth. He recognized it from space as a place he wanted to get to... He knew what a planet looked like from high orbit.
Honestly i'm gonna include a kelvin now in my scifi DnD campaign and i know my players - they gonna adopt him, so we will certainly explore that possibility :P Sounds awesome
If science taught me anything, it's that every creature has an ecosystem, so if Calvin is from Mars, then there would have been a place for it to feed and grow, but there would also need to be a creature that can eat Calvin, so that means if they can find other life on Mars, they might find what eats Calvin.
I loved this movie, it kept me on the edge of my seat through most of the movie which i had not experienced in a long time. I still watch it every now and then because even so i know what happens, it's still a good movie that i'd highly recommend to any of those who have not seen it. Great video too, never thought about it like that but i agree 100% If i wasn't subscribed before, i definitely am now. Keep up the great work!
What if the crew was able to learn what they needed to know about Calvin earlier, and acted accordingly? Also, since Calvin has sentient level intelligence, what would happen if the crew taught him things?
Seriously survival didn’t justify genocide So basically ALL alien based movies are Alien:”is on a ship” Attak I mean seriously ALL movies with aliens in it mean minor disaster
Again I'm early I love your vids and btw alteori allan grant(Sam neil) recently talked about the Jurassic world dominion delay and colin trevorrow gave his reaction to the news saying that scientists say they should be able to recreate living dinosaurs and he said So,June meaning that the movie might still come out in June even if theres corona please make a video about it
I love the video! I'm glad you touched on the fact calvin was dormant on Mars, I was confused when you kept saying "he needs to eat he needs to eat" when theres nothing on Mars Couple questions though not really related to the video: What's the creature at 10:26 ? Why can't I see your subscriber count?
The thing is that nothing in that movie will survive, especially Calvin. He's gonna land/crash on Earth....EARTH, like bru every thing will kill him (I really want to go on a long rant about every thing that could happen but i won't, safe to say Calvin won't survive on earth). Definitely if he land in Australia!
Humans are the same as animals if a creature moves the wrong way or seems like it's going to attack when it's actually not they are gonna try to defend themselves we are all the same in a way
I so badly want to see this movie! Once I seen your first video on it i was instantly obsessed! Also Calvin's tentacle form looks a lot like the trilobite from prometheus and even acts like it.
Honestly For me (I haven’t watched the movie for a while so please forgive me) but those bed things look REALLY strong Like, pretty damn strong And this alien comes along, and then creates fractures in the glass Let’s just think about that for a moment, this thing created fractures inside of something made out of pretty much industrial grade steel (probably even higher quality) along with also, probably very strong glass, and at the very least damages it It also broke a human’s hand when it was pretty much a baby compared to its larger form
Its good to hear open concepts from a woman who likes Sci Fi. Ladies.... do this more with your guys. Seriously these conversations are " I am going to take you out and spoil you" conversations because this is stuff men find important in SURVIVAL. I happen to think like an astronaut....

A protagonist is the main character or hero of the story, in the case of Kalvin he's the antagonist, or the opposing force/character that conflicts with the protagonist or his/her group. Not necessarily a villain, as an antagonist isn't always evil, just the "bad guy" of the situation. However, the protagonist isn't always a good guy either. A good example is any Deadpool comic. Wade is the protagonist, but isn't always fighting for good.
I'm glad people love this movie as much as I do! It just hasnt gotten enough attention and I like to wonder what would have happened had they not have hurt him.
Calvin is quite interesting... I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've gathered from your videos... Calvin is highly adaptive, and potentially grows smarter as it grows larger. He also adapts to his environment. The movie presents Calvin with an environment that requires aggression to survive, however if the humans were more peaceful with Calvin, then he might have adapted more social traits. I can imagine, given time, an adaptive alien with traits such as Calvin could even learn methods to communicate, even start learning the language humans speak if it would be beneficial to him. You suggested that Calvin is like a wild animal, however with adaptability and growing intelligent, Calvin is even more unpredictable than a wild animal, he can become a wild person... one capable of wild and illogical choices.
In regards to our Calvin could protect them and help fix things, we do know, as he was able to figure out the steering on an escape pods basic function while attacking, if he had been intentionally taught, he certainly would have been an asset.
the only flaw to your idea that he would still end up continuing to grow would be the adaptation clavin shows. in the beginning he grew much like a plant light and air. at one point he would reach a sustainable limit and without any external threats to adapt for there would be no reason to grow past this self sustained limit. so food would not likely be much of a problem so long as the air supplly didn't fail again. the rest of it though ya would likely happen because that stable size could still be bigger then what the rest of the team would be comfortable with.
Talking Kitty!!! Sorry I've watched like 7 or 8 of your videos now, and I just couldn't hold it in anymore... I'm like, f*ckin 6 in terms of maturity. Sorry. Love you!
We need a remake of this from Calvins point of view. Poor wee thing was abused. Imagine waking up out of a coma and being surrounded by massive aliens with you locked in a box
Okay, very limited biology knowledge here, bear with me. Calvin seems to be what you can call an apex predator, top of the food chain, highly adaptative and efficient. But judging by the conditions of Mars and how it behaved after awakening, it fits the role of a parasite better, and not a common parasite, but an alien one- duh, it came from space. Yes, but not that type of alien. Here on Earth, when you introduce a new species to an ecosystem, it becomes an alien species to that environment, and it can have really serious repercussions in the balance since the ecosystem might not be prepared to deal with that. So the equilibrium created from competition, symbiosis and many other interactions get thrown off. That is probably the reason why Mars was bare-bones if it ever held life before. Without any pressure from the ecosystem to refrain his growth, Calvin can simply expand as long as it has resources (the Flood, perhaps?). And yes, I agree that it acted on self-defense. we can't exactly call it "bad" because it was self-preservation in action. You can't blame the tiger when it kills the pray. The only problem here is that Calvin's actions are bad for us humans, so YEET this alien starfish into space! Also, it is interesting to notice how they differ from the Xenomorphs as the black stabby bois literally are bioweapons designed to kill
@xrelik nice take there. I ruled out the symbiotic possibility because Calvin remained dormant, implying it needed something to latch on. I can't tell if in all symbiotic interactions both beings need each other or if there are case where they can go on by themselves... Anyway, it raises the question: what possible benefits one could get from having a space starfish latched on them?
I enjoyed this video but all of these fact are more of opinion then anything else. making a suggestion paired with word such as "probably" is nothing more then a theory at best. in this context we could also say "Calvin" was not aware that the actions and or choices it was making would result in death for whatever creature it came across. There are a multitude of possibility's as to who, what, when, where, why . And my self being someone that has yet to watch the movie is quit frankly probably in no position to debate what is or isn't but you have sparked my interest :). At the end of the day were taking our real life experiences and applying them to a fictional story (for the time being) But I will agree that first base nature of any animal is self preservation so when faced with a dangerous situation the whole "fight or flight" mind set takes control for the continuation/survival of said specific animal and or animals.
Idk why I keep hearing that he didn't know he was on his leg I think I did know and let him feed because he knew he was dying and felt like he was responsible for his survival. Love the videos I don't see many channels that have a more intelligent view on movies and in general of things that are happening
You should’ve taken into consideration the fact that a Shark never grows past the size of its environment and this could’ve been the case with little Mr. Kalvin

I love your way of analyzing this movie, I think that not looking like a sentient being to us is what makes us lack the empathy for him, but it would probably be an allied to humanity if they have treated him gently.
Kalvin: i only attack when someone attacks me
Also kalvin: i’ve been here a long time lemme get a lil nibble of that leg
Hey there! Studying biology here and honestly, you're among the VERY few channels that actually take essential things into account, like the "animal" not behaving as you would like because they have primal drives. Just wanted to let the compliment here and keep up the good work, was an entertaining video! :)
10:10 Pretty sure that's why the filmmakers picked Mars and not Jupiter.
I liked the reference to a flatworm in describing Calvin.
It's like you said, a different outcome. He might sees them as friends but like all animals or creatures they need to feed. If they share the food they have on the ship, they might live longer, possibly be friends with him. Although, if they ran out of foods, he might attack out of instincts to survive and possibly store them for later.
Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
CREW: electrucutes kalvin
KALVIN: unlockes god mode
His docileness is actually quite odd. When he was hugging the leg, dude being hugged didn't even initially feel it or cry in pain. On top of that, Calvin seems extremely efficient with food and material, especially with his cell being able to go into hibernation like that, so he probably doesn't need food that badly. He's also clearly very intelligent and so could've been taught to do stuff for his food. Plus, considering he is from a planet, there should be a limit to the size he will grow to before natural genetic limits hold him back, although at that point he might just split in 2 or something, or not have that limit in g=0 environments.
I'd say the best comparison in behaviour to make is that of an octopus (my friend works at an aquarium and spends a lot of time dealing with shit from the octopus they have there); will probably be cheeky AF stealing fish from other tanks and stuff but is intelligent enough not to bite the hand that feeds it, so long as it is fed, very curious but cautious enough not to just attack everything it thinks it would win against unless provoked.
So, with this as the basis of his behaviour: Calvin could be trained to do all sorts of things, and would be really good at many of those things. Being able to store oxygen means he could repair parts of ships with far more accuracy than a human, once he learned to act accurately. He could be his own ship clinging to rockets that launch him around, along with some railguns, if you just put some slow-release oxygen canisters inside of him, and he would then be humanity's best fighter against xeno scum.
But if he just wants to eat stuff, they could've at least yeeted him into the sun or something by luring him into a capsule with some food and saying their goodbyes.
They could feed him farm animal food
@@jhalynmendes1590 the point is he'd eventually get too dummy thicc for feeding him to be a good idea and slowly eat the whole zawarudo.
it's implied that he killed all life on Mars. It's not like most life on Earth that can generally reach equilibrium when something new comes along. For that you have to have high enough diversity, and selection pressures that are strong enough to keep the evolutionary arms race going, but not so strong that nothing is able to survive them. Humans would be an example of a selection pressure that's too strong. Whatever caused the Permian-Triassic Extinction c. 252mya, and wiped out something like 80% of all life on Earth, was almost too strong.... life was almost relegated back to insects and microbes (just as an aside, our current mass extinction is several times worse than the P-T extinction and is so far the only known mass extinction that has affected insects...)
Kalvin seems wayyyy stronger than either of those. He could likely strip all life on Earth within a few years or decades. He is less like a new apex predator that will reach its own equilibrium with prey through negative feedback loops, and more like a swarm of locusts, that rely on constantly finding new sources of food to survive and grow, leaving devastation behind them. And because he can seemingly go dormant for likely millions of years (because it seems highly unlikely that Mars has had life any more recently than that, if it ever has), he can do this locust thing over extreme timescales, geological timescales. He eats a planet's entire biosphere, and then hibernates until either an intelligent species inadvertently transports him to new worlds, or he is ejected from the planet by natural means (volcanism, meteors, etc). It may take billions of years for him to reach a new world this way, but he doesn't care. That's just how his species works. Eventually the comet he's hitched a ride on will collide with something that has a biosphere, and he can start all over again.
There's more evidence for this too: the fact that he seemingly breaks back down into a single-celled form once he's done eating, so as to cover as much of the planet's surface area as possible and make it far more likely that one of those cells will be able to seed another world.
Once again warhammer 40 000 show us the way to deal with aliens : "purge the xenos"
Give this man a bolter
The thing is...it may be a possibility that Calvin was after a lot of bloodshed, befriended because he got more and more intelligent as we saw, so there could have been a point where humans would be able to crudely converse with him or make an apology to him. To make him see that it was a misunderstanding and no one really wanted to hurt him in the first place.
Calvin: *LeT* mE iN *I* jUst *wAnt* tO bE yOUr *FrIeNd!*
Dum people: close the gate! 3:15
ua-cam.com/video/LJ5nV9aKthU/v-deo.html Calvin be like :
The entity was an animal, it didn't matter if they have attacked him or not, it would have turn hostile eventually.
The movie Life is so similar to the first movie of Alien
I felt the same way about Calvin after watching the movie the first time. If he had the chance to show his intelligence it could have turned out way differently. He figured out how to keep the escape pod on course, communication would have developed way faster than his growth rate.
Edit: just remembered the way he looked at the earth. He recognized it from space as a place he wanted to get to... He knew what a planet looked like from high orbit.
My theory is that he might carry memory's in his genes.
@@prometheus9096 much like a flatworm after eating its own kind.
Kelvin: lands on earth
Area 51: whomst has summoned me
This gives a different perspective.... one that really makes me think. Poor Calvin!
Imagine a sequel where Calvin turns into a leviatan the more people he eats!!!
A silhouette that I'm assuming is a fox with squinted eyes talking to me about movies......
ClEaRlY eVeRyThInG iS nOrMaL hErE
this makes me wonder what Kalvin vs the thing would be like
Honestly i'm gonna include a kelvin now in my scifi DnD campaign and i know my players - they gonna adopt him, so we will certainly explore that possibility :P Sounds awesome
If science taught me anything, it's that every creature has an ecosystem, so if Calvin is from Mars, then there would have been a place for it to feed and grow, but there would also need to be a creature that can eat Calvin, so that means if they can find other life on Mars, they might find what eats Calvin.
Nivlac aka Calvin backwards since of course it eats Calvin
Or he could have been an invasive species without natural predators on Mars (which might or might not be the reason Mars was doomed)
I don’t get why in movies when something is going in to someone’s mouth they just forget they have teeth
Just imagine how that would turn out
I mean
If you were awoken by god like being, and they star playing and hurting you
But you find out they can be eaten
What would you do?
I would eat them all as fast as i can
Leave no survivers
Bruh imagine if you found out god was real so you attack and eat him lmao
@shelby MD Eat the males and we all know what’s going to happen to the females
Muzan Kibutsuji oh no
@Jim Halpert *>:)*
"Kill you fricken dead"
Me: that's what killing means
I loved this movie, it kept me on the edge of my seat through most of the movie which i had not experienced in a long time. I still watch it every now and then because even so i know what happens, it's still a good movie that i'd highly recommend to any of those who have not seen it.
Great video too, never thought about it like that but i agree 100%
If i wasn't subscribed before, i definitely am now. Keep up the great work!
What if the crew was able to learn what they needed to know about Calvin earlier, and acted accordingly? Also, since Calvin has sentient level intelligence, what would happen if the crew taught him things?
I’m thankful that your channel was recommended to me!!!
Seriously survival didn’t justify genocide
So basically ALL alien based movies are
Alien:”is on a ship”
Attak
I mean seriously ALL movies with aliens in it mean minor disaster
Again I'm early I love your vids and btw alteori allan grant(Sam neil) recently talked about the Jurassic world dominion delay and colin trevorrow gave his reaction to the news saying that scientists say they should be able to recreate living dinosaurs and he said
So,June meaning that the movie might still come out in June even if theres corona please make a video about it
The only reason I watched “Life” is because you sang it’s praises. And you were right! SUCH a good movie!!
Classic fnaf joke if it doesn’t move revive him with a controlled shock
69,420 subs before i go back to school *beep* connection terminated
Am I the only one that thinks Calvin was evil since the very beginning
Calvin won’t survive a Xenomorph’s acid blood, he might survive outer space, but he can’t survive a bath of acid blood.
I love the video! I'm glad you touched on the fact calvin was dormant on Mars, I was confused when you kept saying "he needs to eat he needs to eat" when theres nothing on Mars
Couple questions though not really related to the video:
What's the creature at 10:26 ?
Why can't I see your subscriber count?
The thing is that nothing in that movie will survive, especially Calvin. He's gonna land/crash on Earth....EARTH, like bru every thing will kill him (I really want to go on a long rant about every thing that could happen but i won't, safe to say Calvin won't survive on earth). Definitely if he land in Australia!
Nice video, Alteori. I hope you do a video on what kind of destruction Calvin will wreak on Earth. Looking forward to the videos!
Dear Alteori, if ever go into mindless killing rampage and if I ever get caught with my hands all red, I will most probably employ you as my lawyer.
Don't worry, I check your channel Daily! XD
You're the best!
Your voice is so entertaining. Thanks for the ideas after the movie 😊
Humans are the same as animals if a creature moves the wrong way or seems like it's going to attack when it's actually not they are gonna try to defend themselves we are all the same in a way
I like ur videos and ur Channel Keep Going ! Great content good stuff - New sub
I so badly want to see this movie! Once I seen your first video on it i was instantly obsessed! Also Calvin's tentacle form looks a lot like the trilobite from prometheus and even acts like it.
Honestly
For me (I haven’t watched the movie for a while so please forgive me) but those bed things look REALLY strong
Like, pretty damn strong
And this alien comes along, and then creates fractures in the glass
Let’s just think about that for a moment, this thing created fractures inside of something made out of pretty much industrial grade steel (probably even higher quality) along with also, probably very strong glass, and at the very least damages it
It also broke a human’s hand when it was pretty much a baby compared to its larger form
Its good to hear open concepts from a woman who likes Sci Fi. Ladies.... do this more with your guys. Seriously these conversations are " I am going to take you out and spoil you" conversations because this is stuff men find important in SURVIVAL. I happen to think like an astronaut.... Woman astronauts are freaking 💥 hot! Alteori.... Prime example. Also your UA-cam Avatar.... ✨
Sooner or later someone would do something by mistake that Calvin would see as a threat and there'd be the all you can eat human buffet.
A protagonist is the main character or hero of the story, in the case of Kalvin he's the antagonist, or the opposing force/character that conflicts with the protagonist or his/her group. Not necessarily a villain, as an antagonist isn't always evil, just the "bad guy" of the situation. However, the protagonist isn't always a good guy either. A good example is any Deadpool comic. Wade is the protagonist, but isn't always fighting for good.
Calvin: I keep trying to get out but they keep pulling me back in. I don't want to kill them but they keep testing my patience.
If Calvin continues to learn, could the humans teach him how to farm and communicate? Just curious.
I see Alteori and big headed grey thing I click. I don't know what it is but I will check it out later, as in after I watch this video.
I'm glad people love this movie as much as I do! It just hasnt gotten enough attention and I like to wonder what would have happened had they not have hurt him.
Calvin was a happy little thing dancing around then boom 😅 hand scene
maybe if they weren’t in 0 gravity it would be better, cuz the gravity of earth would limit its size, idk, i didn’t watch the movie
Calvin is quite interesting... I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've gathered from your videos...
Calvin is highly adaptive, and potentially grows smarter as it grows larger. He also adapts to his environment. The movie presents Calvin with an environment that requires aggression to survive, however if the humans were more peaceful with Calvin, then he might have adapted more social traits. I can imagine, given time, an adaptive alien with traits such as Calvin could even learn methods to communicate, even start learning the language humans speak if it would be beneficial to him. You suggested that Calvin is like a wild animal, however with adaptability and growing intelligent, Calvin is even more unpredictable than a wild animal, he can become a wild person... one capable of wild and illogical choices.
I saw a theory on how Calvin evolved into the creatures in the quiet place and how life and that movie connects
In regards to our Calvin could protect them and help fix things, we do know, as he was able to figure out the steering on an escape pods basic function while attacking, if he had been intentionally taught, he certainly would have been an asset.
I thought this was for Alien Covenant. Oh well, life is also an awesome movie. It is definitely a cool reimagining of Alien.
I like the movie. Just when Calvin collides with that metal door mid chase, the sound (You know what I'm talking about) threw me off
I love the no-chill cut to gruesome scenes 👌
Calvin “ ahh quite place monsters , CHILDS PLAY”
the dark twist ending really got to me and left me on an unsatisfied/disturbed note. that worked in this movie's favor.
Calvin: hello friend
Rat: STAY BACK FREAK!!
Calvin: I’m about to end this man’s whole career
Hough: maybe if I shock it?
Calvin: hehe glove go brrrr
the only flaw to your idea that he would still end up continuing to grow would be the adaptation clavin shows. in the beginning he grew much like a plant light and air. at one point he would reach a sustainable limit and without any external threats to adapt for there would be no reason to grow past this self sustained limit. so food would not likely be much of a problem so long as the air supplly didn't fail again. the rest of it though ya would likely happen because that stable size could still be bigger then what the rest of the team would be comfortable with.
Talking Kitty!!!
Sorry I've watched like 7 or 8 of your videos now, and I just couldn't hold it in anymore...
I'm like, f*ckin 6 in terms of maturity. Sorry. Love you!
We need a remake of this from Calvins point of view. Poor wee thing was abused. Imagine waking up out of a coma and being surrounded by massive aliens with you locked in a box
Okay, very limited biology knowledge here, bear with me. Calvin seems to be what you can call an apex predator, top of the food chain, highly adaptative and efficient. But judging by the conditions of Mars and how it behaved after awakening, it fits the role of a parasite better, and not a common parasite, but an alien one- duh, it came from space. Yes, but not that type of alien. Here on Earth, when you introduce a new species to an ecosystem, it becomes an alien species to that environment, and it can have really serious repercussions in the balance since the ecosystem might not be prepared to deal with that.
So the equilibrium created from competition, symbiosis and many other interactions get thrown off. That is probably the reason why Mars was bare-bones if it ever held life before. Without any pressure from the ecosystem to refrain his growth, Calvin can simply expand as long as it has resources (the Flood, perhaps?). And yes, I agree that it acted on self-defense. we can't exactly call it "bad" because it was self-preservation in action. You can't blame the tiger when it kills the pray. The only problem here is that Calvin's actions are bad for us humans, so YEET this alien starfish into space! Also, it is interesting to notice how they differ from the Xenomorphs as the black stabby bois literally are bioweapons designed to kill
@xrelik nice take there. I ruled out the symbiotic possibility because Calvin remained dormant, implying it needed something to latch on. I can't tell if in all symbiotic interactions both beings need each other or if there are case where they can go on by themselves... Anyway, it raises the question: what possible benefits one could get from having a space starfish latched on them?
This movie was so underrated/under the radar!
Guy does a low shock to wake Calvin up
Calvin: *ima beat your ass* 1:17
He would evolve to give hugs....many, many hugs.
Me: Looks at Calvin
Also me: tentacle hentai is very possible now
Joking
But maybe...
It feeds on jizz now. Left the planet barren of jizz
I enjoyed this video but all of these fact are more of opinion then anything else. making a suggestion paired with word such as "probably" is nothing more then a theory at best. in this context we could also say "Calvin" was not aware that the actions and or choices it was making would result in death for whatever creature it came across. There are a multitude of possibility's as to who, what, when, where, why . And my self being someone that has yet to watch the movie is quit frankly probably in no position to debate what is or isn't but you have sparked my interest :). At the end of the day were taking our real life experiences and applying them to a fictional story (for the time being) But I will agree that first base nature of any animal is self preservation so when faced with a dangerous situation the whole "fight or flight" mind set takes control for the continuation/survival of said specific animal and or animals.
Idk why I keep hearing that he didn't know he was on his leg I think I did know and let him feed because he knew he was dying and felt like he was responsible for his survival. Love the videos I don't see many channels that have a more intelligent view on movies and in general of things that are happening
Love this opinion and theory. Good work!!!! keep it up!!!!!!.
You should’ve taken into consideration the fact that a Shark never grows past the size of its environment and this could’ve been the case with little Mr. Kalvin
Next video what if the fire nation never attacked
