HANAR: Cultural Index

[@karlsmith2570]

"I'm Commander Shepherd, And This Is My Favorite Cultural Index On The Citadel"

[@FelineStorm]

I really wish I had thought of that….

[@PartigradeCannon]

I find Blasto's actor to be hilarious, because when coming into contact with both the Hero of the Citadel and someone his species views as gods, his reaction was to complain that he wasn't sharing top billing.

[@golgarisoul]

This one is pleased Hanar finaly got a Cultural Index video.

[@karlsmith2570]

Do the Batarians or The Vorcha have Cultural Index entries??

[@HalferLandPerformance]

We're Pacleds, we look for things, things that make us go

[@6thsavage]

“Excited: This one is flattered.”

[@stevieturner9338]

Blasto. The first Hanar spectre. I always enjoyed that idea in the game.

[@TransbianOwl]

Can officially thank this video for reminding me of an Mass Effect OC my gf at the time and myself came up with after playing the first game... Hans the Hanar security guard "Sorrowful apology, but this one must now detain you."

[@whatyouthink]

"Its a big, stupid jellyfish!"

[@thisisdavid2]

Blasto approves of this video!

[@marcosbravo9645]

At first I looked at the thumbnail and thought "I don't remember seeing this star trek monster before".

[@savagebear4374]

This one has been waiting for this video for a long time. This one is glad the Hanar have an index video. This one thanks you.

[@darioestebaneliztrado4641]

I know that the hanar, volus and elcor were totally secondary races in all trology and are far from being the most explored as the most interesting races (those of the companions), but it is a pity that it is so, that is, there is a description of the codex and the hanar behave like this for the rest of the game.

[@futurerandomness1620]

With new Babylon 5 content on the horizon it would be nice to have some of their races and organizations looked at.

[@sizanogreen9900]

one of my favorite sci fi series when I was young.

[@keithtorgersen9664]

@Certifiably Ingame, I have never played any of the mass effect games but you do such a good job of analysis and explaining the lore that I am invested in finding out more about the series.

[@anonymousrex5207]

The Blasto movie ads were one of the best things in the ME games lol

[@joshuawells835]

I recommend adding to the bucket list the Eight Votan races from the Defiance series - Castithans, Irathients, Indogene, Sensoth, Liberata, Gulanee, Volge, and Omec.

[@smof1]

I second this

[@karlsmith2570]

A couple notable members of these eight Votan Races: Castithan: Datak Tarr Irathian: Irissa Indogene: Dr. Yuel

[@robhou5353]

Hanar you're soft stars, literally!

[@edalder2000]

All I care about is Blasto.

[@jefferynelson]

I have had real world opportunities to be stung by Portuguese Man of War jellyfish. I always chose to take a pass on the opportunity.

[@jordanelings8351]

I personally would like to see a cultural index video on a Magic the Gathering race known as the Vedalkens.

[@mojom.9221]

In Javiks Cycle. This Video would be nothing more than appetiser.! Would you like to be rewatched or rewind?

[@dylanthomas385]

Yesss your finally back

[@Roughpup100]

They look a lot like Netch and silt striders

[@mjohnson5030]

They look like a Portuguese man-o-war

[@lordgong4980]

Don't the Hanar also still have secret dealings with the Batarian's. And I am not getting into the Drell Hanar thing again

[@antcow1239]

Polite supremacist jellies, thats what i got from this XD

[@antcow1239]

@cyotee doge (Produces middle finger, in Hanar) XD

[@eisenfell2818]

"Enkindle This"

[@Rodshark75]

I can sum up their cultural index with one like "Big Stupid Jellyfish!"

[@eduardomenendez2692]

You should look up star control and it's races

[@Jdne199311]

ITS A BIG STUPID JELLYFISH

[@LeRoiEnJaune]

I always find it baffling how the other Citadel NPCs are always like 'Pffffffffffffft, big stupid jellyfish amirite? lol!1!!1!!!' You have representatives of multiple interstellar factions trying to share power and... sorta succeeding, but with a _lot_ of tension in play. Then you have a secondary player in the form of a species that is diplomatic to a fault and has limited interest in colonial expansion, and all anyone can focus on is: 'Gee, they're a bit pedantic aren't they?'

[@UGNAvalon]

I’d love to see Hanar converse with a Tellarite! xD

[@thepoetoffall7820]

… it took me longer than it should have to figure out this isn’t a Trek species.

[@JamesDOConnor1916]

Thanks rick another great video sir 😀, can you do fallout next time please no pressure, much respect 😎

[@TrensGemini]

What's your thought about star trek resurgence?

[@toomanyaccounts]

they have done a video

[@DMSProduktions]

Mmm, I wonder what they taste like!

[@wolfbane7497]

Do Andromeda Nietzscheans

[@JackRabbit002]

The Hanar always annoyed me!! Weird how in the Codex it states their excessively polite but to me they just come across as sarcastic and a tad piss taking! .......Drell are awesome though! Shame we never saw more of them.

[@Stinkehund]

"From the outside perspective, the drell certainly do have the shorter side of the bargain" - but do they, though? Because the alternative was to die with the rest of their species while their civilization and their entire planet collapsed around them. Plus, it's very likely that a good number of drell are born outside of Kahje or move away at an early enough age so they wouldn't develop the fatal disease in the first place.

[@darioestebaneliztrado4641]

Eh .. not really in the canon this does not happen, almost all the drells were born in kahjee and those who go to other worlds generally do so as adults or are too few

[@howaboutno3575]

But blasto is a real spector, you meet him in Mass effect 3

[@meanduniverse452]

O000 my god my name is Hanarrr!!!

[@thebrownwolf]

This one is saddened that the erotic tales of Samuulspaad did not even get a offhand mention in this video.

[@kshadehyaena]

It's still hard to believe that Bioware and EA decided to simply throw this whole universe away with ME3.

[@toomanyaccounts]

you mean Andromeduh

[@kregadeth5562]

@@toomanyaccounts I think so but it is a different galaxy to be fair.

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@kregadeth5562 andromeda killed the franchise for close to a decade. there were multiple dlcs planned including more mass effect games. the reception to andromeda killed all that.

[@james192599]

Is it just me or did someone want to see a hanar bounty hunter?

[@dylanthomas385]

O check out the warhammer and skyrim races

[@pandabumsplat]

I'm sorry....... The Hanar came "Acroos" Rahkana? that doesn't look right

[@chaosakazero]

It's just a big stupid jellyfish is all this one has gathered after watching the video

[@mojom.9221]

The Big Question is: This this Hanar have a Brain?

[@jeffreybeckham1130]

"This one is flattered at your interest"

[@nbmoleminer5051]

They look like Man o wars

[@CristySFM1234]

I'd definitely would love to see you cover the combine from the half life games

[@johnsteiner3417]

Hanar have ten tentacles not six, six outer tentacles and four inner.

[@roopertrooperviolencejack6281]

Ric here :)

[@johnsteiner3417]

So, you describe language duels and didn't call them rap battles???

[@OverworkedITGuy]

Have you considered looking at some of the Farscape species?

[@richx5064]

Vidiians for sure.

[@asphodelus0lilirh]

вот опять напонятки: дреллы живут у ханаров, хотя атмосфера там губительна. почему не жить в космосе или на станции? уж в космосе точно сухо.... критически сухо! даже для бактерий...

[@Flood_Container_Pro]

hanar. I like these guys. or gals. not sure on the genders [with honest humor]

[@samwill7259]

see you say Hanar pick their genders arbitrarily but gender is arbitrary in humanity too so I suppose we're all just doing that.

[@samwill7259]

@cyotee doge Said gender, not sex. Catch up with this century you transphobic asswipe :)

[@mechanomics2649]

@cyotee doge Biology is a thing, what's your point?

[@101Mant]

@@samwill7259 the two are connected. To say its arbitrary would mean there is no connection, yet there clearly is and has been through human history, even in many cultures that have had more than the two genders we historically had in the west. Nobody is saying someone's gender has to be determined by biology but ignoring reality to claim it usually isn't. If gender and biological sex were completely unconnected there would be no physical aspect to transitioning. It's amazing how people are to yell transphobia without looking at the content. Yes transphobic people hide behind a misunderstanding of biology sometimes but it doesn't mean anyone mentioning biology is transphobic or we should ignore actual objective facts like people's gender is overwhelmingly influenced by their sex with the exception a statistically very small minority.

[@samwill7259]

@@101Mant People transition to be more comfortable in their own skin and not ever transgender or non-binary person chooses to change their body at all. The mere existence of transgender and non-binary folks proves that any relation between sex and gender is an illusion, the fact that they're a minority is totally irrelevant.

[@nitehawk86]

"arbitrarily" is the wrong word to use

[@dvader518]

This one is not a big, stupid jellyfish.
