Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (Killcount)

[@carribob1992]

6:46 When you learn the context of this episode (Its called "Heart Of New York" which involves Bank Robbers faking being Mysterons all for a heist), you learn that even The Mysterons have standards.

[@kingofpointless]

It's been said before but I'll say it again; Anderson and co. knew how to make a damn good explosion.

[@huffers3111]

The late, great Derek Meddings. Went on to even greater things, including the MiG-29s crashing into the uplink antenna in Goldeneye.

LOLOLOL… that’s made it even more amusing 😂

Very fun video. "Minus 600 (DAMMIT!)" made me laugh harder than it should have.

[@mistergeneration]

I was like.. no, no,.. that’s not.. oh never mind 😂😂😂

[@BlackKnightOfTheWind]

God damn this show was brutal, I'm surprised my parents let me watch this when I was a kid. I even had an action figure of the protagonist and a toy of his car.

[@42NORRIS]

I watched and loved this show as a small child in the mid 70s, along with countless other children. All the violence and no one noticed or cared. Those were "different times"😮

[@jamesatkinsonja]

I'm sure Mary Whitehouse moaned at the time...

[@Dim4323]

One of my favourite shows. And the end credits kick ass

[@CyarSkirata]

Fun fact, the mysteron base was actually completely unoccupied. I don't remember what page it's on but I have this massive book somewhere of like pretty much everything about the show from episode summaries to behind the scenes stuff to whatever, and it's stated somewhere in the lore section that the mysterons had long since left mars by the time of the show, leaving their automated systems online in case they ever came back.

[@jamesboyle6134]

Freaking loved Captain Scarlet! Looking back, you realise just how dark it was, though.

[@Thenogomogo-zo3un]

It was proper dark and seriously violent And for kids!

[@johnmorrison2604]

Go to bed ..you child

[@MrMarksdaddy]

No one realized just how violent Captain Scarlet was until they saw just how serious the Mysterons were about avenging the destruction of their complex!

[@TheWelwyn21]

What a fabulous programme it could have easily been used for adult evening adult programme

[@mistergeneration]

I used to watch it when it aired at 1:00 am at the weekends,…. when I was a kid 😂

[@Thenogomogo-zo3un]

This is unbelievably violent No wonder we turned out to be such sick kids

[@mistergeneration]

*awesome kids 😂

[@eddieboyky]

I had no idea the explosions were so impressive.

[@ShirleyABurton]

With Derek Meddings handling the special effects, it’s not surprising. This was before he did the James Bond movies.

[@mb2000]

You know it’s a good show when the title character gets killed 5 minutes into episode 1. You know that episode with the hunting lodge that needlessly goes up and down? Didn’t it establish that Mysterons can ‘only’ be killed by electricity, so technically any Mysterons that were shot or blown up weren’t dead and could still be working their original’s normal day jobs just waiting until they can cause havoc once again…

[@DiamandaHagan]

I'm gonna talk about that in a Captain Scarlet Headcannon Fodder hehe

[@mb2000]

@@DiamandaHaganNice, looking forward to it!

[@Burkhart4192]

@@DiamandaHagan Technically, those killed conventionally are only of the human they've duplicated, while those killed by electrocution or anti-Mysteron guns would be double kills of the human and the Mysteron controller. I think, since Scarlet is a duplicate but can survive gunshots and explosions that would kill a normal duplicate so....did his Mysteron defect?

[@Alfje17]

I thought everyone was going to come back by Magical Space Resurrection, but the body count and high number of car/plane crashes in what was supposed to be a kid's show, surprised me. Gamera wouldn't like this show, but I'm definitely going to check it out!

[@DiamandaHagan]

There's a few eps on youtube, also the mid 2000s cgi remake from the same creator (had a similar bodycount).

[@ZeroArmour]

Every time I see "Magical space resurrection" I hear it in Hagan's voice.

[@colinmoore7460]

some of those magical space resarections were replicas, not the originals resurected.

[@TheSquallAce]

There are people who think that the Mysterons deliberately avoid excess collateral damage... Yeah...

[@disconnected22]

Interesting choice, Mistress. And boy, this ain’t the Thunderbirds! A lot of death. The faces here were also sculpted better, if less mobile. I want to watch this, it looks really cool for a Marionette show.

EXPLOSIONS

[@mistergeneration]

Brilliant! Nice bonus montage at the end 👍

[@georgeowain]

Those aren't really resurrections, but recreations. Meaning none of the Mysteron victims were ever brought back. Since at least three Mysteron agents are never killed. The Total should be 58,387.

[@nightshardthefanguidebrony847]

Still that's a fucking lot for something aimed for kids

[@Daktangle]

Poor S.I.D., he was just doing his job.

[@mistergeneration]

TREBLE CROSS: you counted the same resurrection twice, the last one is actually the same as the revival in the hospital of the human Major Gravener INFERNO: everyone was evacuated so no one killed in the avalanche

[@mistergeneration]

Wait no, you got em both.. but you didn’t announce the woodsman in Expo 2068 but you did clock it on the count before you minused it

[@DrIzixs]

This is indeed glorious.

[@speakfreeley4473]

Doesn't seem to include the other two crew members in the Martian Exploration Vehicle after the Mysteron complex was rebuilt. Must have been killed. The Mysterons had no use for them. They only wanted Captain Black to do their dirty work. Also the helicopter that was shooting at Captain Blue must have been manned beforehand when the Mysterons destroyed it & reconstructed it, leaving only the voices of those who originally operated it. Also in the the episode 'Renegade Rocket' Major Reeves was obviously Captain Brown previously. Even looked like he was using a Spectrum issued gun with the top of it coloured brown. Exactly like the one Captain Brown would have had for the colour he was given when becoming a Spectrum agent.

[@DanteCorwyn]

Would you consider doing the CGI Captain Scarlet? Can't remember how many people die in it, but I was still shocked when I saw him snap someone's neck.

[@DiamandaHagan]

I'm thinking about it heh. This video grew out of me rewatching it while editing and then spending time thinking about the show because I'm developing a Headcanon Fodder idea for it.

[@teckzilla108]

[@anjetto1]

Should most of the resurrections count? They're not them anymore. They've been replaced. Or is this just an excuse to watch the amazing miniature work?

[@DiamandaHagan]

Felt wrong to count the deaths twice and not count the resurrection. Plus Captain Scarlet's not the original but he's still the hero!

[@jankarieben1071]

This show must have been a blast to film! 😅 🍻❤️🤘

[@doktor_ghul]

Superb killcount, although you're a bit bloodthirsty in estimating how many people were in buildings and other establishments that, logically, would have been evacuated before they were destroyed. After all, when the London Car-Vu collapsed , the area around the car park would have been evacuated, by force if necessary. Of course, your being Hagan makes the thirst for blood entirely understandable. Spectrum Is SplatterHound Red. ( salutes )

[@DiamandaHagan]

I tried to only count the deaths in places that weren't mentioned as being evacuated (I was really looking forward to the moon colony and oil refinery destructions for instance but they ruined my fun). If anything I think I undercounted because the missile base was still firing missiles off at random.

[@doktor_ghul]

@@DiamandaHagan ...including missiles that were so obviously on strings that the booms were spinning them like tops as they lifted off. Funniest missile launches I've ever seen.

[@DiamandaHagan]

@@doktor_ghul Captains Blue and Ochre are the real villains of the show.

If I had the money I would make a live action captain Scarlet film or series with the same stories as in the original series.

[@simoncurry5336]

Very entertaining. I'm surprised that you'd heard of "Goodies and the Beanstalk". Have you watched the Power Themes 90 "Captain Scarlet" video? You should do some videos about "Joe 90" that Jerry Anderson made about a nine-year-old boy that the World Intelligence Network brainwashes to do its dirty work.

[@DiamandaHagan]

I know Joe 90! Watched it a few months back but no videos ideas sparked from it, maybe I could do one of Joe's kills tho there's not too many of them. I did a video about The Goodies a few years ago, LOVE THEM.

[@HeckfireOG]

NGL, I always wrote this show off, sight unseen, as "Thunderbirds but with spies or something?" but...I gotta say, there's actually a pretty effective and creepy alien invasion story (with maybe just the slightest dash of Kamen Rider) in this thing. I should check it out.

[@DiamandaHagan]

Honestly it's more of a terrorism thing as the aliens kill and replace people and make them commit acts of terrorism. Genuinely shocked that there wasn't an adult live action version at the height of the War on Terror.
