I’ll tell you now - they did for Netflix - it’s quite disappointing and childish- given how serious the game is with it’s lore and game…

[@Mekudan]

@@zoenayru This couldn't be more wrong. The games were never that "serious", especially the characters that are present in the movie. The excitable A-Lister is as goofy and clumsy as in 4U and world, and the other guys just behaved like they did in the games. The dialogues in the games were definitely not serious, have you ever seen how the guildmarm (and the other quest-ladies from the other games) are talking in the games? The Felynes and Melynx are also absolutely not serious in any game, they are talking in puns all the time. Same with so many other NPC's that you can talk to in the towns, constantly joking. Not to mention the Quest descriptions, they have always been over the top. The cutscenes in general were also whacky, especially when Felynes were involved. The animated movie nailed so many references and quirks that are present in the games, it's insane. It seems like you've never played anything else besides World (which is the most serious MH Game) or you have never paid any attention to detail at all. I'd suggest playing 4 Ultimate, that's the game in which the Hunter group that is present in the movie has appeared for the first time, and is packed with funny dialogues as well with a serious story - just like the movie; the movie was basically made with 4U setting in mind.

[@zoenayru]

@@Mekudan - The lore is dark and could’ve been made like the Witcher - Yes the dialogues are suppose to be fun because it’s a game - but reading the actual stories behind monster and how they act - the movie wasn’t bad is was just disappointing IMO

Kushala's theme is the best piece of music in the series. I never really notice the music in the game but fighting Kushala is an event to me. Those swings of music make me feel something, like I'm in awe of the monster. This theme made me become more aware of other monster's themes and added a whole new level to the hunts.

3:38 "the exoskeleton grants kushala an improved flexibility" That makes no sense, one of the trade offs of the exoskeleton is its rigidity, an endoskeleton offers less protection and more mobility. "This exoskeleton offers a large surface area for muscles to attach to" Without a joint these muscles would be useless and the need for a joint makes the surface area irrelevant if we talk about flexibility.

[@nuke2099]

Should be noted that Daora also has a normal skeleton (endoskeleton) unlike that of a invertebrate. You can see the vertebra when you cut it's tail. The exoskeleton is a more like armour than an actual skeleton like those of invertebrate.

6:38 This actually give credence to a theory of mine; that Velkhana actually started life as a Kushala Daora, before gaining its icy powers after consuming or absorbing power from the crystals left behind by Shara Ishvalda, and the Legiana lured by its song. That as it molted, it gained the icy powers imprinted on its shell, allowing it to form the ice armor it utilizes in battle. Additionally, I believe that Vaal Hazak was spawned when the effluvium fungus infected the cast-off molt of a Kushala Daora, gaining mobility and some wind manipulation powers as a result.

The exoskeleton bit was really interesting! Although I’d also like to point out that due to elder dragon bones in the quest rewards for Kushala hunts, this also implies they have an internal skeleton as well as an exoskeleton. So this guy has two skeletons, and one of them is made of metal. Just thought that was cool

[@lennartj.8072]

[@Matt7R]

I feel like you should have started this series maybe more than a week before a brand new monster hunter game comes out LOL, you guys are gonna have your hands full! Shame, I don't want you to sleep on this series, really enjoyed this first episode!

[@nebulous9280]

Wind weapons would be interesting! I'd personally love if Elder Dragon weapons were differentiated with unique effects rather than standard elements. Using the Elder Dragons from World as an example, let's say that Kushala's weapons could have increased attack range, utilizing its horns to create dangerous wind pressure from a distance. For bows and bowguns, this could mean faster, or further flying ammo types. For Teostra's, it could mean the ability to utilize Fire and Blast at the same time, with every attack, unlike some Dual Blades which only have one element on one blade. For bowguns, perhaps this could mean enhanced Special ammo types, like Wyvernblast, Wyvernsnipe, and Wyvernheart dealing additional Fire or Blast damage. For Vaal Hazak, while weapons are drawn, you would be wrapped in a damaging aura that slowly eats away at a Monster's HP, while very slowly healing you at the same time. And for Nergigante, the weapons could slowly regenerate Sharpness, similar to how Nergigante's spikes slowly harden over time. Not sure what it could mean for ranged weapons, though. These are just random ideas, really. Felt like getting them out lol It helps that science is kinda loose in MH. It doesn't make sense how slapping a detached Kushala's horn to a weapon would make it control wind accurately, but then again, slapping a Fire T-rex's fur to a slab of bone somehow makes it set things on fire.

[@PantherDina]

Are we getting more of these Lore videos? I think they're really interesting and educational! Hope for more

[@ES-dp6tw]

The inclusion of Nergigante adds an interesting dynamic to the tiers of elder dragon it preys upon, in that they are subjected to the classic predator-prey arms race that had previously been thought irrelevant to such powerful creatures. Kushala's metal armor would certainly make sense as an adaptation against the jaws of its predator. Of course, as said in the video, the disadvantage of this strategy comes into play when it has to molt, as then it is entirely vulnerable. No doubt a pivot of the relationship between these creatures is how competently a Nergigante can track a rusted individual, and in turn the rusted individual's ability to evade it.

[@ILoveMethanol]

[@traceyjacobsen8544]

Ive noticed with kushala's torso design seems similar to gills on fish im assuming its apart of helping kushala fly easier or more likely to suck wind internally to fire it back out? Possibly just how kushala looks and actually surves no or little purpose but the design of its torso looks fairly similar to gills

[@masterkings2271]

Story Time with Team Darkside

[@ronanlorekeeper7226]

5 Fun facts not included, 1. If you pay attention to the Cathar Guru's Dialogue, he makes reference to the fact that the Kushala you fight in 4u is in fact the very same one from Dos, as with the help of his brother (the Jumbo Village Chief) he'd been warned of the coming Kushala after it had been fought off from Jumbo. 2. Kushala eats ore, this can be observed as far back as the second generation if there were ore deposits available in the jungle. 3. Kushala was technically the first monster in the series to have the Elder Dragon Classification, as it was invented by the guild in Gen 2. So even though Lao, Kirin, and Fatalis came first, Kushala is the first by classification. 4. Some varieties of Kushala native to the regions around Val Habar and other locales in 4u have exhibited the ability to naturally produce ice, this was a push by the developers in the 4th generation to establish Kushala as an ice monster. 5. The Scarred Rusted Kushala in 4u is the only monster in the series that we have not killed in-game, nor did it directly go to it's demise like Zorah. Since it's battle ended in a standard repel, and regarding the fact it has survived encounters with hunters before, it might very well still be alive.

What were Kirin, Lao and Fatalis classified as in the first game? I never got that far.

[@ronanlorekeeper7226]

@@kingofflames738 Sorry I needed to correct myself. In game they're still divided into the ED classification, but the Guild only really made it an official classification during the events of Gen 2. So it's the first in-canon monster to garner the classification.

Like what the Jumbo Chief saying? Who’s the female wyvernian lady comes into the village later, that the MH wiki lacks info of? Like what’s her intro? Same for the NPCs in Kokoto village in Dos, like when first time going there what the first thing the Kokoto Chief says to you? Is he a grouch to the hunter for being from another village likewise in MHGU? (“Jaggi balt” & the diaper insult he says to the hunter in Generations) What does he say during night when he’s over where his sword is embedded at? Is he paying respect to his deceased fiancée there, & his conversation is likely talking about what happened to his fiancée during that time? Many questions!
