Just call him a Snail-ien you COWARDS
Snail-ien is pretty genius.
Oh god, if he’s a snail, does he do the p***s fencing? Snail reproduction is super violent.
I would rather bail-ien
But Snaliens already exist. As a toyline.
Hi Amanda 😊❤️ Your videos have really been helping me lately!
I'm so annoyed by seeing period blood in movies suddenly gush out. It can sure feel like someone is stabbing your uterus, but it usually doesn't look like it.
I would be absolutely horrified if my period blood just started doing that lmao
Like seriously, I bleed pretty badly the first day but it doesn't START as a waterfall
Yeah, when I first saw that I thought it was just the blood mixing with the water, although now that I think about it that still doesn’t really make sense. Unless this girl has a clotting disorder or some other condition which is just never brought up, this is just the writing team (or whoever’s in charge of this kind of thing) just has no idea how periods work.
@@howlinghellgar2214 or it's just a weird movie
It more bad uterus representation when there is already bad women's health education in schools, it did no one any favours!
I love the fact that "baby girl" gives us all war flashback about 365 days. I can't hear this shit without laughing now
I use it ironically and then laugh 😂😂😂😂
I just feel bad if irl someone came up to me/a friend and said that I would have a visceral reaction and punch them or say EWWWWW and they'd have no idea why HAAAA
Me and my friend do this to each other, we come up behind each other and say "are you lost babygirl?" In their ears and we just scream and then hit each other
I called my dog 'baby girl' last night then paused... had a moment... and decided not to do it again. 😂
@@pearlp1197 that's hilarious 🤣
its okay bestie i understand!

so what I'm taking from this is... the snail-ien market is still wide open
Plenty of mollusks in the sky....
Look if you send me a review copy, you can make the Snail-ien story we deserve
Please give us this snailien masterpiece
The sequel to Axion's End is going to be wild
All of this snails reminds me of Bloodborne.
Of all the weirdness in this movie, the most disturbing thing to me was the way the mom acted: “I need you to be ok with this” is not something a mom should ever say to their teenage kid!
And sadly it's fairly common!
Reddit is full of these stories. :/
Especially about a man! Your kid was there first AND they don't have a choice!
well she wasn't exactly a beacon of motherhood at any point in the movie - like, she tells her daughter to dress sexier, says "I'm riding him constantly" so boundaries are out the window, lying about her age to keep a guy, thinks the fertility gift for her teen daughter is normal, and so on. her disconnected and dismissive reasoning seem par for the course at that point, especially since it's followed by her choosing him over her daughter's well-being (tho maybe that was supposed be due to her being impregnated by his species but who even knows tbh).
I've met moms like that irl but rather than aliens, it was unfortunately just poor parenting and narcissism..
@@washedblue I couldn't tell if that's how the writers decided it should be or based on real examples but really should've been portrayed better. Especially on top of everything else slapping her.
i waS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT SCENE WHERE HE LICKS HIS HAND WTF
I unfortunately was watching this with my mom and at that scene we both screamed in disgust 🤣
I was like “no no, he’s not gonna no no,,,,,WTFFFFFFFFFFF!”
@@derpyliciousmiku 😭🤣🤣🤣 I would die!!!! I cannot imagine!!!
Christian Grey: "Way too far. I wouldn't do that ish." 🤣
@@derpyliciousmiku Same, I was so weirded out and disgusted while my mom was regretting watching this
If Pepsi doesn’t adopt “Feeling the urge to make the Lord cry? Have a diet soda instead!” As their new diet soda slogan, idk what they’re doing with their billions.
Probably maintaining their gigantic navy! In 1989, the Soviet Union gave Pepsi twenty warships, including 7 submarines, in exchange for a giant shipment of soda. While the soda company eventually sent the fleet to a scrapyard (partly to recoup costs and partly because the US government wasn't exactly psyched about a private corporation having a fleet large enough to intimidate a small country), they briefly had the sixth-largest navy in the world!
@@gibbcharron3469 yeah pepsi is wild hey at least they ain't that woke!
@@gibbcharron3469 what???! this is the wildest thing ive heard all day
@@gibbcharron3469 that's an urban legend, it didnt work quite that way. And the number of ships wouldn't be even near 6th navy in the world.
3:10 I’m like 99.9% sure she says “WRITING him constantly” because she’s a romance novelist but I’m absolutely crying at the thought of a mother telling her teen daughter that she’s riding her man constantly 😭
I was so convinced that it was "riding" that I just went to check the subtitles but you're right, it is WRITING! Which, like, I'm very grateful for, but also it doesn't quite make sense in the context of the interaction. But what in this movie makes sense lol
@@emclaire7027 OH 😂 Ok that makes me feel slightly less grossed out by this movie (but not by much) - it definitely sounds like she says "riding", which is just 🤢
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually it's literally the same thing. Romance authors just write a lot of smut. Besides... I think it was meant to be a euphemism.
People know their parents have sex from time to time but that doesn't mean they want their sex lives described in graphic detail.
As someone who is Navajo, that “Navajo fertility bracelet” made me nearly cringe out of my skin lmao.
oof
They hate salt because OBVIOUSLY they're demons....I may have been watching too much Supernatural lately
Castlevania too
Sam : What house doesn 't have salt? Low sodium freaks!
Ik it's not related but whenever I think about salts and supernatural, this comes into my mind 💀
Good good, this was the comment I was looking for
@@-KirthanaR isn't that a Dean line?
@@DeathGodRiku nope. Sam said this
I would be so, so happy if I never saw any kind of media that involves supernatural pregnancy ever again.
Same bestie
the only supernatural pregnancy that deserves rights is Wanda's.😌
@@SD-zz4ov I think the key is consent-all these women are usually violated in some way to create the pregnancy, but Wanda created hers
@@eileensnow6153 and i love that for herrr
@@SD-zz4ov wait period tho
You can totally pull off "the teenager", as generally imagined by Hollywood. Of course, my ability to differentiate between real teenagers and 27-year-old women has been severely damaged by decades of movie indoctrination. But yeah... Go for it!
Idk how old Amanda is but she could pass for a 19 yo, at least to me
@@justastudent1423 27
Amanda already looks more teenager than a lot of "teenagers" in movies, I think it's possible
As a 19 years old… besides in a dumb American movie Amanda doesn’t not looke remotely MY AGE and I’m 19
Amanda looks so proud when she makes the 365 days joke and the Snalien joke
As she should be
If Alien Dude was allergic to salt he shouldn't have been able to taste Main Girl's blood BECAUSE BLOOD CONTAINS SALT. Then again, maybe my expectations were too high regarding Hollywood and its complicated relationship with science.
Also global warming > melting polar ice caps, sheets & glaciers which are *fresh water* (frozen precipition) > increases sea level > *decreases* oceanic salinity ...
There should be a disclaimer: 'No actual science was involved in the making of this movie - work on suspending your disbelief'
@@DavyHulme holy moley i'd completely forgotten about global warming... thanks!
salt is in basically every food
@@ussinussinongawd516 That's why he was eating salad I think
If someone doesn't make a parody of Aliens called Snailiens or just a movie with snailiens I'm gonna riot because that is a perfectly stupid idea and I love it
Instead of a mouth inside of their mouth they have an extra shell for their shell to hide in.
Don't forget the sequel about Grey Aliens, Greyliens
i have oc's that are snail aliens and I will now call them snailiens, if that makes you feel better lol
"Feeling the urge to make the lord cry? Have yourself a diet soda instead." Oh you got that speech too?
I think part of the reason they have adults playing teens in movies or on TV is because if it was an actual 16 year old, it would be way creepier and people wouldn't watch it
Which begs the question: what kind of show they're making if they feel the need to put teenagers, literal or figuratively, in a weird and creepy situations?
Just let kids be kids. That's not so hard.
Also cheaper for extras
@@LockeGran Teenagers, literally and figuratively also experience weird and creepy situations. Casting them to play their own age in these movies shouldn't automatically be bad. After all, there is a difference in utilizing them for something like "IT" and something like "Lolita." Also, that isn't the main reason. The main reason is because hiring kids in Hollywood is not an easy feat. You have to pay for their school. They can't have long work days. It is financially easier to just not have them.
@@queerlibtardhippie9357 true, I still wish they'd at least hire adults that can pass as teenagers, the actress in this move looks her age and is not believable as a 16 year old.
Nah think it's because of labour laws.
I am 54 years old and just wanted you to know that your content makes me happy.
SNAILIEN
So I really thought this was maybe going to be a Shape of Water situation and instead it was...this.
Should’ve just gone the fish porn route.
I'm sick of the trope of a parent having a relationship without the child(ren) knowing them
The "You have to accept this complete stranger into your life son or daughter because I'm with them and I say so" is cliche. Usually there's an argument between them where the parent goes "You just can't handle that I'm not with your dad or mother anymore" and usually ends with the kid running off to cry by themselves or the parent telling them to get out of the house.
I thought the school was a college setting until you said she was 16. Why didn't they just make her a college kid living at home...
If Lifetime and SYFY came together, this would be their child
You know what? You're absolutely right.
John Smith is the British equivalent of John doe, the doctor in doctor who uses it as a pseudonym and it just makes it obvious that its not his real name. Maybe it's meant to be a red flag
Yeah that comment made me think, "I'm pretty sure John Smith in 'The Man in the High Castle' was supposed to represent the American everyman and how anyone can do evil things if they tell themselves it's for the right reasons but... Is he supposed to represent a colonizer?"
I feel safe with Amanda no matter what; like no matter how traumatic the content is we’re both suffering together so it’s somehow okay 😌
Amanda: Splice is the creepiest creature sex movie.
What Lies Below: Hold my beer.
Ehh splice is still worse
Nope, splice still holds that title
*hold my saltwater
Splice was worse tho. * shudders *
@@Tina_Bo_Binaaa that movie is terrible
The 365 Days reference hit me hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It kind of reminds me of that one Lovecraft story about a town of fish people. I feel like it would have been better if they had leaned in more to the Lovecraftian angle.
“That Innsmouth Look”! Overly Sarcastic Productions has my favorite Lovecraft video, which includes it
The Empty Man is a great recent Lovecrafian movie if you like those kind of stories.
If you like Lovecraft's stories (not the person as he was a colossal racist), play Bloodborne and get the DLC! That is heavily inspired by that story. Fish peoples everywhere. And big scary shark men who definitely did make me "nope" out of the game for a bit.
The game in general has a lot of Lovecraftian and Eldritch otherworldly horror, however it is extremely hard (an understatement), and a PS4/PS5 exclusive so very understandable to not play it. But it is a gorgeous game (apart from big spider in the big room, and the spiders with human heads, not because spiders but because they have bowl cuts and it's a fashion abomination). Also, snakey Bois.
And potato spider lady. That will make sense if you look up Rom, the Vacuous One Bloodborne. She's a potato spider who used to be a lady. There's more to it than that but she looks like a potato spider.
I'd at least recommend lore videos and looking at the general designs of everything because good lord the designs, the atmosphere, 10000/10. It's very open to interpretation story wise, and the community is very kind on the whole and still pretty active for a slightly older game.
However, I cannot stress enough it is hard as hell, the atmosphere is extremely effective at putting you on edge, especially as everything gets more dark and messed up the further you progress. There's also a couple of different endings.
I will not spoil anything, but even watching playthroughs doesn't do the justice of experiencing it yourself.
You might need a guide though, as the game is kinda like "here are the controls, a general vague goal, now have fun dying!! :)".
Especially for important items and how to get to certain locations, the game is EXTREMELY unclear and vague but people have put out comphensive non spoiler guides.
Anyways, this was hopefully coherent, and I cannot stress how good, if not hard, game Bloodborne is.
@@emmad4308 holy shit, I just finished that game a few days ago. Honestly might be the best game I've ever played.
it's beginning to look a lot a fishmen
Everywhere I look~
Amanda in a beanie looks like every high school teen girl.
What every teen girl wanted to look like I wish I looked this good in a beanie
She looks like a cast member from Scott Pilgrim 2.
as someone who had made wearing a beanie their personality trait in high school, i can concur
The fact that the director had to come out and explain this is really telling
what in the alien Lolita I-
"Oh my God, he's a Snail-man..."
Best line of the year so far...
*"Links back to the beginning of civilization."*
*Is Navajo*
*Is also made of metal*
This bracelet makes me irrationally frustrated.
yeah his whole description about what it is was just... ?????
@@AmandaTheJedi He's an alien lying through his teeth to put a creepy breeding shackle on a teenager girl. Of course it doesn't line up with real human culture.
This movie SCREAMED Men Writing Women all throughout. I will say, if the intention was to make me uncomfortable, it succeeded.... but.... it failed in so many other ways. Can’t wait to watch this later
Lampreys creeped me out since seeing a picture in my 5th grade science book. So disconcerting.
I live in the PNW and we have a dam with a viewing window that lets you watch the salmon run. It’s usually mostly lampreys. It’s a living horror show.
I'm here for this Amanda/Amanda cross over
Amandaverse is expanding
Omg every point I felt the same exact way. “Did he taste her genetics “ 😝😂😂😂
Watch out amanda, he goes for redheads 😳
I was half watching the movie when the period blood thing happened, and I rewound the damn thing a couple of minutes like "wait uh no way I just saw what I think I just saw".
Well Hollywood totally could cast you as highschooler, Amanda. If they wouldn't be too mad about all the critics, of course.
Also child actors can only work limited hours
Honestly, the aliens being fixated by redheads thing just made me think of that episode of The Haunting Hour where aliens eat humans but are allergic to redheads, and that just made me feel weird!
This kinda reminded me of the movie "The Faculty" with the weird water aliens. Except in that movie they used caffeine pills as a diuretic instead of straight salt.
I remember the faculty being a really good movie lol but I was a kid when I watched it so I wouldn't trust my memory lol
@@itskashkashi I wasn't as young, but it was pretty good, and had a lot of the big name young actors of the early 00s in it like Josh Hartnett.
Thank you! I was trying to think of the name of that movie yesterday and even after a night's sleep it still hadn't floated up from the depths of my mind.
What have I learned? "If you don't have the budget to go full alien, don't go foot alien" and I'll live and die by that.
I think my biggest issue with the movie is that there were plenty of ways the story could have been taken that weren't so awful? As a weirdo who still remembers doing a school project on sea lampreys, I was intrigued by the idea of a human-lamprey hybrid trying to do experiments to evolve. But as Amanda says, the movie brings up way too many questions that it doesn't answer.
The captions said “writing him constantly” and I’m not sure if it was writing or riding but yes.
Actors in their late teens/early 20s: "We wanna play teen roles!"
Netflix and literally any teen drama: "YoUr tOo yOuNg fOr ThAt!
YoU NeEd To bE aT lEaSt 28!!!"
Amanda: “...the actress who plays her is 27. What is this... grease?!”
Agreed but my mind went to Riverdale first💀 almost all of them are 27 playing 16 year olds
yeah but at least when that started they were like, 19-23
@@AmandaTheJedi ohhhhh yeah I forgot about how long it’s been since the start of the show😂 Grease was definitely the better choice
Or 90210
Splice: We have something to show you!
What Lies Below: Hold my beer! 🤣
Nah, Splice is way worse imo with the regular (-ish) incest plus gender swap incest rape
Splice was sooooooooooooo much worse than What Lies Below.
There's actually an old toy line called Snailiens. There were four, Washington, Roosevelt, Jefferson, and Lincoln. They were named after US coins. They lived in Snail Francisco and fought ticks. I know this in detail, because one Woolie Madden from Castle Super Beast podcast won't let me forget the Snailiens lore.
There's a US Mint in SF. Maybe that's why they're named after coins?
@@bonniea8189 I personally think the creators got baked and looked at coins for like an hour.
But to be fair, it's supposed to be that the snailiens are the size of regular snails, and view the coins as magic talismans carried by giants or something. But also, Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln are also the Mount Rushmore presidents, so that could also be an inspiration.
the horror you put yourself through such as this movie for our entertainment, i could neverrr
What Lies Below should be called:
"Terrible Mom is terrible and stupid for falling in love with a guy who's too suspicious for it's own good"
You know how the older a woman gets, the riskier childbirth is? (both in pregnancy itself and how the child may develop?) Maybe that's why the guy was so pissed when he found out about how old the mother was. (i.e. - what she gave birth to was inferior in his species eyes).
Honestly, Amanda, I keep forgetting you _aren't_ a high schooler.
I saw Kennie J.D.'s video of this movie, and goodness gracious wtf is it?
Of course I will watch Amanda's video too!
I'll be checking hers out as well!
Yup, and now I'm on to watch a 3rd video on it (swell)...
Me: I don’t get attached to youtubers and will not become obse-
Amanda: uploads
Me: locks self in school bathroom to watch the video
Hahaha, at least it's a healthy one! 😁
A bathroom is a terrible place to become obese
Bro he didn’t meet the blink quota so you already know he’s Not Okay
'Aha, so Libby has also seen "365 Days".' xD
* me having already watched 2 reviews of this movie *
" Oh shit ! Here we go again... "
Reminds me of the aliens from "Signs", coming to earth, a planet covered in so much water when they're basically extremely deathly allergic to it. No logic there. Lol
Finally, the stars aligned to where I can watch a video and it not being years old already
Yes ,definitely a great day 😇
Mood
So Libby has also seen 365 days- I'm ded xDDD
Him licking menstrual fluids, because it's not only blood, off his hand is just *insert eye twitch*... 🥺🤮😵
P.S.: Thank you for watching these disturbing movies so that I know about them without actually having to traumatise myself by watching them.
"Baby Gorl"
I died laughing at the 365 days reference.
I am watching the rest of this video from the afterlife.
Amanda can actually pass as a high school student
"...go for a soda! Nobody gets hurt, Nobody dies..."- Kim Mitchell
Oh cool, a spiritual successor to Splice, just what we all really totally want.
When I saw it I thought Lovecraftian was the goal. Lovecraft's work has plenty of uncomfortable sexual subtext if you look for it. It also has weird sea creature/human hybrids. It also has weird glowing lights. It also has a fixation with bloodlines and breeding. Aliens is a lazy explanation. What kind of alien can do alien/human breeding but can't tell how old the human is?
If I was making a high school movie, I would totally cast 20 and 30 somethings because why not? Teenagers can be frustrating.
Then why make a movie with a high school setting then use adults who can't really pass as teenagers? Sure teenagers can be frustrating, but the full on adults make the high school setting realistic not at all.
Who said anything about being realistic? Satirical commentary. Anyway, I don't make movies anyway so… *shrug*
OMG it felt like forever Since the last alien teen Romance video
There's definitely a Twilight John and he's a Edward-Jacob shipper
I just realized that this movie is basically gender-swapped Species which was already a not great movie.
The mum in this and the dad in “F the Prom” are made for each other, and I’d feel extremely sorry for their offspring.
"ah so Libby has also seen 365 days" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 l can't
Thank you! I literally just finished KennieJD's video on this!!! Yaas
Saaame! Can't wait to see Amanda's take on it
this is ✨cursed✨
That sums up how I feel about this movie 😂
i appreciate amanda's videos so much, its late in here and im trying not to cry as I'm having those "moments". so, thanks, amanda!
pat pat hope you feel better
thank u, friend, working on it!
I feel "everything is connected and I hate it" is the perfect mood for 2021.
5:48 Bruh that night stand is from the Disney Princess Fairytale Collection (in white)
...I only know this because I've owned that night stand for almost 2 decades now
I feel like this concept could be interesting if it was done with some more nuance.
Imagine: an irresponsible and immature mother with a strained and toxic relationship with her teen daughter in which there is pressure on the daughter to engage in stuff that the mom finds “cool” (telling her to dress more inappropriately, talking about very explicit sexual stuff). Basically, a textbook toxic relationship between mother and daughter.
Then, the mom gets married to this man who is predatory towards the daughter (both figuratively and literally), constantly using her crush on him to push her to do increasingly weird and uncomfortable things, and the healthy boundaries between all of the family members are slowly deteriorating, with the mom siding with her new husband and the daughter further being alienated from her friends. Adding the element of him being an alien could be used to further push the allegory of him being an “invader”, both metaphorically and literally.
But it seems like the movie wasn’t very well thought out in this respect. All of the tension between the characters just felt like everyone was stupid.
Did you ever have one of those lunchables with the soda in the box. That can looked like Diet Coke And was just called Cola.
amanda im so proud of u i found u at 60k and i thought why the hell isnt this girl more popular yet?? i thought ur content was awesome and so well produced im so glad that u are almost at 500k now! wow amazing and very deserved !
Mom to her child: im done putting my life on hold for your feelings
Ah yes so the solution is to have a new kid 🤨
The way your chair matches the subject of this movie is it for me.
Like, "Alienware", "Team Liquid".
And the snailien joke is probably the funniest thing that came of this movie. AND IT ISN'T EVEN _IN_ THE MOVIE!😂
"Omg he's licking his HAND-"
Me: *sobbing*
I was so excited to watch this movie and it suuuuucked... Why did the director just.... Do this
“....so Libby has also seen 365 days....” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that comment made me laugh so hard.
I love how you call Swell Entertainment Amanda "Other Amanda." 😅
The Amandas are taking over.
Amanda Prime and Amanda Mark 2
Period don't just start without the woman knowing... Like, she can't feel at all? I thought if you are sitting down you would be able to feel the blood clot up...
For me, sometimes i feel it but usually not.
I was in the middle of a crying sesh and this notification just rescued me ty
multiple Johns is the EXACT plot twist of Oblivion... lol!
When I watched this I was hoping it was some kind of species that was native to earth trying to adapt to a changing climate...but no instead we’ve got a Shamalan situation of aliens that don’t like salt coming to a planet mostly covered in salt water and who’s food usually has salt in it.
“Kinda dumb, a little annoying and weird”
-she is literally describing me
I keep forgetting what 365 is about but then it gets referenced, I look it up, I remember its a thing, and then I block it out again.
3:05 what a double entendre! I took it as "writing" him constantly because she's a writer, but yep a lot of "riding" does happen lol.
snail-en really sends me :""D also this whole thing really reminds me of the "blood sucking worm person who lives in the sewers" x-file episode , expect somehow it didn't weird me out this much :""D
I saw an “Ending Explained” video by Found Flix about this, and yeah it’s sounds pretty dumb.
Putting aside the symbolism, the Navajo bracelet is pretty cool looking. I bought a couple of different jewelry sets from some families while I was in Arizona and Utah and they’re really pretty. I really recommend buying jewelry from those areas because they’re beautifully crafted, they go well with anything, and it’s supporting the people of the area. They also sell nice objects like statues of animals or vases that they painted and they look really cool.
I love the Amanda/Other Amanda commentary crossover. Your invincible video and Swell Entertainment's video came out on the same day (but I still need to watch them bc I just finished the show XD). Two great UA-camrs.
