This video is great, but it forgets one absolutely crucial historical element that sits right in the middle of the entire tangle of where video game explosive barrels came from. It's so obvious that it can be overlooked, but shouldn't ever be excluded from a discussion of video game culture, or even general modern western culture. One particular man's influence is immeasurable, and yet you forgot him. First there were the post-WW2 era action movies. One of the most iconic being Dambusters (1955). The generation of kids watching that movie grew up to be the dominant creatives of the 1970s, whose imaginations blended scenes from that film with those of heroic western/Tarzan/military/sci-fi/fantasy serials of the 1950s and 1960s. Then one fateful day in 1974, one emerging central figure amongst those inspired creatives, a certain Mr. Steven Spielberg, protested with the eternal words: "No. We CANNOT just kill the shark. We HAVE TO BLOW IT UP!" You forgot Jaws. "Smile you sonovabi*ch!" Jaws. Is why. The explosive barrels. Exist.

@nabollo4 жыл бұрын
UpstandingCitizen when the baseline for explosive is “existing,” then nothing is particularly explosive. It would be a redundant adjective. For the Goldeneye barrels to be classified as explosive, it would have to be significantly *MORE* explosive than say, a chair. For the same reason, you don’t describe a tree as a “wooden tree” or an ocean as a “wet ocean.” You may not have realized it, but you asked a semantic questions, so you got a semantic answer.
