Back to the time I read it, I just saw a few months ago Rumble Fish and I always imagined William Mandella impersonated by Nicholas Cage, and Marygay Potter by Karen Allen, or second choice, possibly by Nancy Allen if she wasn't available.

Small quibble: The "Imperial-I class Star Destroyer" you showed is actually an Imperial-II class. You can tell at a glance by the sensor bar on the top-center of the command tower. An Imperial-II has a low slung single-bar sensor array, while and Imperial-I has a much taller double-barred array with an 'X' shaped connecting structure between the bars.

The sheer number of people you can fit on that thing is insane. And that's a standard capital ship. I finally truly understand why people say the Executor is impractically huge. The work it takes to keep the factory building at my job functional is bad enough. The Executor though?

Yeah, this was really awesome that you added more! LOVED that you added Jimmy's small rocket from the JN movie, you're awesome for that!!! You could add the giant chicken ships from that movie, too; bet one of them would be about the size of the smaller Star Destroyer from Star Wars, and the transport chicken ship that carried the kids and the parents back to earth I imagine would be around half the size of the second Death Star... 😉 Just thought I'd throw that out there, being a huge fan of the show and all... 😆

I would have also liked to see Discworld, with Great A'Tuin and the 4 Elephants Brilia, Tubul, Jerakeen, and the Great T'Pon. The disk is huge, 10,000 miles and A'Tuin is even bigger!

These videos are so addictive; The graphics. The research that went into the size of every ship, etc. And, I really like how you combined fantasy ships and real-world ships.

[@cathyvickers9063]

I love the way you use familiar items like people, aircraft & ships to give us a sense of scale; I also love how you use sometimes obscure vessels, like the human & alien ones from Titan A.E.! Also, did anyone watching the movie Oblivion actually believe the Tet was of human construction? The timeline implied it was built *after* the alien devastation...which had buried entire cities. I was suspicious the whole movie & was rewarded in the end. The sheer *size* of the thing -- as this video demonstrates -- demands a fully functional high tech industrial complex, not devastated infrastructure left from the Moon exploding!

[@Sirstas79]

So glad to keep seeing The Lexx show up in these kind of videos

[@cathyvickers9063]

[@Clay3613]

@@Sirstas79 There is no way it's that huge though.

[@beaglator]

Pretty sure the Tet was wholly alien in origin. (SPOILERS) but if I recall correctly, tom cruises mission was just to go to one of Jupiter's moons, and then they found the Tet while on route and investigated it. That's when the Tet pulled them in, cloned Tom Cruise and girl (can't remember her name), then invaded the Earth with an army of them.

[@cathyvickers9063]

@@beaglator That's the backstory that was eventually revealed. When all we had to go on was our 2 main characters, they believed the fiction that the Tet was a human colony ship taking on water in preparation to go settle another world. That's the timeline I had trouble with: the idea that humans built the thing to flee the devastated Earth! There was even a hint that I picked up on: if pre devastation Earth was really advanced enough to build the Tet, why were they using black&white video communication? High-tech housing for the maintenance worker & his companion, but b&w viewscreen. It didn't make sense.

[@johnfuller2339]

Absolutely, fantastic video. I was very very surprised to see so many franchises compared here. The only entry I feel that deserves a spot is the "Arwing" and "Great Fox" from the 'Star Fox' franchise, but that's splitting hairs. Amazing video

[@jeremiahwallace2275]

Brilliant that you’ve included the Jupiter Mining Corporation’s “Red Dwarf”, as it’s often gets left out in other ship size comparison videos. But, concerning the ship from Blake 7, you got it pointing backwards, as the green bulbous part is it’s engine, and the antennas faced the front.

Great video. Would have also liked to have seen more space game based comparisons such as stellaris since the scale difference from strike craft fighters to titan class ships to the variaty of different megastructures (guess ringworlds and dyson spheres would be the same as in this video / dependent of which star they are built around).

Incredible work; huge kudos! The music particularly stood out as well-chosen and excellently timed to the reveall of some of the ships. Did I detect some of The Expanse's theme music in there? I definitely wasn't expecting the rocket ship from Wallace and Gromit to make an appearance, but that was the moment I decided to give this video a thumbs-up. Only moments later, I knew I would also be leaving a positive comment, because the inclusion of the Rocinante warmed my heart. By the way, the inclusion of the Millennium Falcon actually helped me better grasp the size of many of the smaller ships, since I used to work at Disneyland and have a good sense of how large it is, thanks to the 1:1 scale model there. I was worried, however, that you would only be including maybe one or possibly two ships from each major franchise in this comparison, leaving the rest up to our imagination. Imagine my unbridled joy, then, when the MCRN Donnager appeared! And then the Nauvoo! And then the Sol Ring Gate! I almost died from happiness. There's not much else I can say that hasn't alreody been said in the comments, but I think the thing that would really take this video to infinity and beyond would have been The Turnip from Lightyear (just kidding, it wasn't a very good movie, and I'm glad you didn't include any space ships from it).

In the novel _Ring_ (Stephen Baxter 1994) it's called Bolder's Ring after the first human to see it. What the Xeelee call it nobody knows, because they're famously enigmatic and uncommunicative -- but given its function, probably "Emergency Exit."
