[@valzicplayz3845]

Tom Cruise 2005 War of the Worlds movies are the best Tripods I've seen. It's much more realistic and have weight when it walks and moves. Sound design is fantastic and the design alone is fantastic. Every scene they were in was epic.

[@frlade]

Totally agree!!!!!!

[@Captain_Leafy]

its my favorite movie

[@ojeda01theman74]

The 05 WOTW is literally the best movie in the genre Change my mind

[@streamspoart2671]

And it's my childhood nightmare, especially its horn sound

[@kuronyra1709]

I mean... It's not exactly easy for the others. The others are either from the 50's, or from low budget film or either just plain mockbusters who tryied to keep the cost at a minimum. The 2005's movie had it all for it. Production value, actors, time spent on it. I wonder what a movie with the same budget would look like now.

[@CalSniffsMilo]

The Fox TV adaptation shouldn't even be considered, in my irrelevant opinion, honestly has nothing to do with the source material other than sharing its name, but I guess *war of the worlds* sounds better than Boston Dynamics Dog-bot invasion.

[@whendinosaursruledtheearth4788]

I sat thru the first season in hope , then somehoe sat through the second , started the 3rd and gave up after one episode. It's an insult to the name .

[@CalSniffsMilo]

@@whendinosaursruledtheearth4788 exactly what I thought, Looked decent at first but when I read into it and saw the one scene with the robot dog I was ain't no damn way that supposed to be a war of the worlds Martian/alien bruh, makes all the other tripods from the low budget adaptations look good lmao

[@jim4194]

​@@whendinosaursruledtheearth4788 but dog bot :(

[@temmieAckkerman]

A dog...isnt...a tripod.. even that HG wells R rated hexapod robot was better bc it obeys the lore AND its sequel had actual TRI PODS!

[@cg_plays]

I thought that it was made by the BBC

[@MeatYourNewBestFriend]

Jeff Wayne's tripods were my favourite as a kid but the 2005 film made me realise that the tripod design needed to be much more agile to quickly negotiate a variety of terrain. The tripods in The Great Martian War and True Story have the best overall design in my opinion. Still very alien but not too space age whilst retaining that built-for-purpose, mechanical feel. However, I don't think any of these films accurately display the sorts of damage the heat ray in the H G Wells' book would really inflict upon Humans and their technology. That would be perhaps too horrifying if done accurately. Jeff wayne comes closest but that's only shown in the illustrations.

[@LordOfPanzers]

2005 aliens get an A+ in Design, but an F in Biology.

[@ToxicTeraaa]

Or in the game for WOTW. Specially with some of the little lore tidbits you get from their Research cues where the Martian Lead tells you what sort of damage it offers. And the Blood farms... Man those sound horrific.

[@singlish76]

The 1953 war machines were the first depiction of repulsor craft in cinema. Given the three repulsor emitters they do count as tripods.

[@suraidahsuri8276]

[@Captain_Chromosome]

It's about time for another big budget War Of The Worlds movie with good writing.

[@AlanCanon2222]

They'll still be adapting it a thousand years from now, it's as classic a story as any Greek tragedy.

[@elharvey5032]

I think one set in the 20th century would be good

[@DevinVT1]

I actually kinda like the ones that have the 2 legs in the back and a smaller leg in the front. Definitely a unique design you don’t usually see

[@Niko_Is_Precious]

The only ones that were even able to COMPETE with ‘05 were the Great Martian War and the 2019 short series

[@SPaiba1990]

And Jeff wayne

[@pschroeter1]

I read and reread the book several times over the past decades, it's a favorite of mine. The Spielberg tripods match the image in my head that I got from reading the book the best, except his tripods were much taller than the book version. I don't care for the versions that look like beetles that much.

[@AlanCanon2222]

I'm fondest of the 1953 version, it still packs a punch, considering how long ago it was made. Like others here I'm a fan of the novel and would love to see a definitive adaptation (that doesn't have moustaches made of cardboard).

[@Voidr0se]

my fav version of the tripods isn't even from a movie/tv show (although I LOVE the 2005 Steven Spielberg ones) mine is actually from the illustrated comic book version from the early 2000s. I draw them ALL time and love that design so much.

[@lazyhazeldaisy9596]

Wow! I wonder what H G Wells would make of all this, I'm sure he would be thrilled his story is still as great as when it first came out. I personally like the Jeff Wayne Ooooo Laaaass!

[@brianhays1797]

There is something about that sound….. like “you’re f*****!” The great Martian war docudrama was pretty awesome!

[@axjagfilms]

This is awesome! Could you do a compilation for the illustrations, such as Henrique Alvim Correa’s art?

[@ThePersonInGrey]

Man I’m disappointed there are no movies about alvim Correa fighting machines but all we have are low budget war of the worlds movies from ali express

The Great Martian War is worth a watch

[@eldritchmorgasm4018]

It's a bloody shame "The Great Martian War" isn't available on DVD in general, as it seems, it's the best WotW, from my point of view. The Spielberg movie is an easy 2nd place. Here in Germany some movies were never released, like "A True Story", and that Asylum shite ironicly was marketed as WotW 2 + 3, because of Spielberg's movie, they just hoped we would make a connection & consume product. 😅 About that tv-show with the robo-doggies, take the title away, maybe change the planet of the invaders, and it's a completely different thing. That show isn't available here as well, I only know about S1 being translated, everything else doesn't seem to be available here. Is there a DVD of that anywhere? Personaly I'm diving into the WotW comics, graphic novels, illustrated books right now, though it will take some time to get everything or most of it. I think THIS would be a good video as well, also about audioplays + radio broadcasts, I have several of these as well, though most of it is a German production, not sure this is a thing outside of Germany. The audioplays, of course...

[@lordhamster9452]

I like the design of the martians from the great martian war very ancient looking and more "realistic" considering they have been buried for so long

[@Iknowwhoateallthedonutsfromthe]

The final was like: first time we'll make a tripod like a png picture of tripod made of constructor toy moving on green screen with skyes, but in the next scene we'll use full modeled tripod with high-detailed attack and burnt human body animation))

[@monkebanana2506]

Sounds about right

[@GenesisOrb]

There are so many incredible interpretations of HG Wells Martian Fighting Machines. Also, the average Tripod working his 9 to 5 4:57 .

[@tylerstocker6189]

The 1954 version will always be my favorite, but it doesn't immediately scream tripod. I think the 2005 version really makes the greatest impression.

[@colossusforbin5484]

I still like the 1953 "tripods" the best as they come across more sleek and advanced. They just look the coolest out of all adaptations and the idea behind them is more interesting and "futuristic" with the three force field type legs as opposed to actual walking, clunky tripods.

[@DovregubbenProductions-vn3vy]

I strongly disagree. I prefer the tripods with actual legs.

[@ToEuropa]

In an interview, George Pal said that they decided on the force field legs because they couldn't figure out how a three-legged machine would walk. No tripod creatures in nature to use as a reference.

[@goggleheroomegamaple53]

2005's is just Iconic

[@BlueTheStickFigure12]

6:30 definitely my favorite now

[@Jayjames7642]

Did anyone else notice that they got the inspiration of the designs of real life things? (This might be long) So like the 1906 looked like those old water towers right? And the 1953 looked like a street lamp with a freakin stretched pancake. And the 2005 tripod looks like a bicycle helmet. And the musical version looks like a fly. And the BBC 2019. ???? Thank you for your time and have a good day. Edit :shit I forgot about the BBC “the tripods” 1984 DAMNIT

[@felinusfeline5559]

I loved John Christopher's The Tripods series. Almost forgotten to time now. I really wish they would make a new tv series out of it as it's a great story.

[@ToEuropa]

I agree completely. It's a great story and would make a fantastic series.

[@CyraEmm]

The Jeff Wayne’s tripods will always be my favorite design, but I do love the Spielberg versions too.

[@Myself-yf5do]

I think the founder of The Asylum is a big fan of the novel and had been since childhood...that explains their repeated attempts to film it.

[@SubzeroStuff]

[@redips123gaming3]

Every one knows that the Jeff Wayne Tripods are the best

[@marialuna2784]

8:29 who let this man on the stage

[@tellybuster]

The 50s ones are the most iconic to me. If only for the fact that the heat ray noise and the pulsing before it fires are so ingrained to my mind that even if I ever hear them anywhere else, that’s where my mind goes. And those fuckers had me scared of the streetlight outside my bedroom window for weeks.

[@Epoxinator]

The dog robot had 4 legs. The Martians in their tripods in the book didn't willy nilly run around shooting their heat rays at individual people. They used it to disrupt supply lines and railroads and infrastructure. They used it against military vehicles and weaponry. The Black Smoke was the Martian's primary weapon against humans, and they didn't spray it out of the tripods. They shot Black Smoke cannisters over great distances, and the poison smoke killed vast numbers of people without the Martians having to put themselves or their machines in harm's way.

[@TheSuperhomosapien]

If they would have opened with the heat rays against the HMS Thunder Child then they may not have lost three tripods. Instead they tried to gas it first and paid the price.

[@AsaPulleyPulley]

Missing war of the worlds Goliath 2: Annihilation also if anyone knows where I can watch it that would be cool, its apparently a 2023 production sequel to the 2012 war of the worlds goliath animated film. but I've only found a wiki article about it and then everything goes on about all the live action movies.

[@HugoSeaby-Chevallier]

Dude i did not know the tripods where so fast and also nice channel name

[@boomerbobable]

Maybe I missed it, but there was a TV series in 1988-1990 called War of the Worlds and it was a sequel to the 1953 movie. In fact, the Sylvia Van Buren (played by the original actress) is in a few episodes and they even do a weird time travel episode where they go back to 1953. Had huge hopes for it, but was OK at best.

[@ToEuropa]

The second season was far better, with rebooted aliens, a post-apocalyptic world, and the addition of Adrian Paul to the cast (before his Highlander series).

[@Decayedstudios6]

[@VioletAeonSnowfield]

The only tripods that really look decent are the 2005, 2023, and BBC miniseries tripods. The 2005 versions looks the best, imo; but the BBC miniseries are the only tripods to use the black smoke.

[@JJSstudio5]

I think the bbc miniseries is quite a cool design

[@debbee0867]

Until a director can do better, with a story as the book by HG Wells was written based in the UK, nothing will ever come close to Jeff Wayne's musical version and the tripods on the front cover in my eyes. Where you can lie back in a dark room and visualise the film with great dialogue by Richard Burton and a fantastic masterpiece of an album. This was probably the first album I ever heard as a child in the 70s/80s and I'll never tire of it, the music just stays with you. One of the Tripod statues and a capsule even stand proud in Woking town centre, near where HG Wells wrote the book and with Horsell Common down the road ... and I'm pretty local to there.

How can they be called tripods if they have six legs (a hexapod) or no legs at all? Those that actually were tripods were all seemingly with the same basic design, at least for the legs. Would like to find some of these here on YT.

[@steveb0503]

'53 and '05 are the only two that look like they could even conceivably do anything other than just stand there and look menacing. Bipedal locomotion - if you really think about it - is actually pretty ungainly and complicated. Now imagine what kind of balancing act tripedal locomotion would entail...
