The BRAIN STEALING Alien Explained

As a couple enters the woods for the guy to hilariously blow the proposal, a meteorite had just touched down the day prior. Housed within, a creature begins running through the local species, until it finally hits humans. As the girlfriend realizes something is wrong, it highlights an interesting issue. This species that takes over a human body, what exactly are its methods of making and synthesizing and using its own genetics to build a body. But how is this possible? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

I had to get my entire thyroid removed, and I could feel the skin rubbing along the trachea. You know, on account of them no longer being connected. I‘m still surprised that wasn’t creepy to me. It was rather really fascinating. A couple days later the healing process had reached the point where enough connective tissue had built up to stop this movement, and I felt kinda disappointed. =D Once in a lifetime experience. Would not recommend (having an organ removed that is crucial to your survival). I‘m having my uterus removed sometime in the near future, so that’s bound to be fascinating as well.

[@Reapxsoexbudgets]

This is interesting bc I feel like the alien species would at some point, end up turning on themselves.

Probably early surgeons noted it down. Makes sense that people who have to cut people up to try to keep them alive would take note of something so weird. Though I am not an expert and I have not looked it up, this is just me making a guess.

[@karlo1199]

It’s the small intestine that can be returned in the abdomen and reposition by self per say. The large intestine must be oriented correctly. The risk of bowel obstruction and discomfort is the best option, while necrosis is the worst case. In other words if it’s not put back correctly you’ll be full of shit and in pain, or using a colostomy bag. The general surgeon who also was an instructor explained as such while waiting for the incoming appendectomy be rolled in.

[@ce4879]

I’m just noted it down as the cord conspiracy. You know like when you have a bunch of thin cables lined up and they somehow all tangle together anyway when out of sight? Maybe everything small and tube-y does it. Gaia’s intestines.

[@ericlamb4501]

I don't know who noted it first, but my guess would be because it's essentially a semi-rigid fleshy tube in a liquidy environment, grown to a specific-ish shape, air and other stuff running through it kinda bends it back to how it's supposed to be. Closest thing I can think of as a visual example would be a self coiling garden hose. When there's water going through it, it expands into a hose to use, once empty, it coils itself back up. It goes back to its shape without outside interference cause that's the shape it "knows", being coiled up is how the material is in default after being made in a factory. Same applies to the intestines, they have a "factory default" shape in your stomach and at least the short intestine is malleable enough to unwind and then return to shape.

[@kctalks]

If they took over human bodies again, though, then it's likely they'd also have similar issues to what this alien had- not being able to kill, succumbing to poopoo biological traits, etc. That also assumes that they'd take over humans, though, given that the scout would presumably have mentioned how weird humans are and how much easier things would be as deer.

[@ela-811]

Honestly would make a cool sequel. Aliens go through their own realization of Human emotions with some likely becoming attached and staging a rebellion Ala The Host.

[@Wolf_ManJack]

Makes for a good moral tale - show up ready to dehumanize, get humanized, realize the philosophical implications of the universe are so massive that you're essentially just an aggressive neighboring country attacking a rural village, and now God has cursed you with knowledge you cannot hope to escape.

A thing I never get in some of these movies is the rest of the invasion force arriving literally days after the scout. Like what really was the purpose of the scout then, how much info could they really get and send back in such a short time for a global invasion? From the way it spoke of humans it was clear this was their first visit so they were invading a world that they knew nothing about.

[@sunt7918]

Maybe there were more scouts in different parts of the world,taking up people that have more information about the world. I mean, even the knowledge of 1 human of the history, resorces of the world,is enough to be a motive for invasion

[@thehermitman822]

The only reason I can give in this case is that it's just tradition for this species sense they aren't used to actually encountering resistance like "love" and maybe the scout just gives advice on best meat suits. Reality would likely be the scout potentially does the job for days to decades depending on the intelligence it encounters.

[@kalebbradford143]

that's true, this is basically the galaxy's worst scout considering he could have taken over the body of like the US president or a top general.

[@harveyflippers9531]

If they’re confident that a successful invasion is a foregone conclusion, I could see them sending such a late scout as a means of orienting themselves in a practical fashion as opposed to relying on just observation or theory. Like this guy can now advise the other aliens to NOT assimilate certain humans or just avoid them altogether as a host for the invasion

[@TheUnknownDungeon]

She was probably taking Ativan, which is what is prescribed for anxiety attacks. It dissolves under your tongue very quickly and is absorbed into the blood stream, where it proceeds to calm you down and decreases the panic you feel. It is very fast acting, although not nearly as fast as in the movie. It takes about 2 or 3 minutes to dissolve completely and absorb into your blood stream, and then it takes about 5 more minutes to stop the anxiety attack altogether. The only way Ativan could work nearly as fast as shown in the movie, they would need a higher dose directly injected into your IV line.

[@BohoAstronaut]

Ativan sucks. Nothing comes close to Xanax for dealing with anxiety attacks. At least for me.

[@Kunabee]

I thought it was Xanax, it worked SO quickly for me when I needed to use it for anxiety attacks. And Xanax is swallowed.

[@KristenRowenPliske]

Sometimes, a newborn’s intestines don’t get enclosed within the body during gestation. They’re still hooked up, they’re just outside the body. They have to be placed in a special sleeve to keep them moist then suspended over the baby so gravity can slowly pull them into the abdomen. I don’t remember what this is called; I’m not a pedi nurse. Takes a while but then the opening is sutured closed, baby is monitored & goes home after a while, assuming all goes well. The body just figured out how to arrange things itself. Bodies are fascinating machines that are both miraculous & disgusting.

[@ace_of_cups4096]

Yeah, this happened to one of my cousins. Except his organs wouldn't go back in on their own, and they had to surgically place them in his body. He's strong and healthy now, and one of the sweetest little men in the world. (The other sweetest lil men are his brothers 🥰)

[@fancyelk2373]

My parents always used to tell me love is when you make the conscious choice to be with that person even after that initial physical infatuation fades away.

[@ArDeeMee]

Full agree. Love isn’t the butterflies in the belly phase, that’s just anxiety and infatuation. Once that goes away you can actually get to know the other person because you can finally focus on them. Do you feel safe? Do you feel heard? Do you feel comfortable? Then that person is a keeper. =)

I've been with my husband for 14 years, since we were teens. I got a kick out of the idea that our love could possibly bring down an alien invasion. Wait til the aliens find out about mother/child bonding.

[@DerivativeWorker]

Wait, if the alien had his memories then why didnt he remember her having a massive crippling anxiety disorder?

[@ESCMenagerie]

If the other aliens have the same reaction as this one then I don’t think their invasion would go smoothly. Almost every human has someone they love: a partner, parents and grandparents, offspring, close friends, pets. Unless they assimilate a sociopath or something there is going to be someone out there that any human these things assimilate is not going to want to kill. Even if they go for different species to assimilate they will have to choose carefully. This planet is full of pair and pack bonding species that form close bonds. Seems like these guys would just have to give up at some point and either call this planet a loss or cohabitate with us. Great video as always!

5:45 same pet peeve, but also for flashlights (as I hate movies that need to rely on jumpscares), if you're in a dark room or corridor, anything that has a ceiling really, pointing the flashlight at the ceiling will illuminate the entire room rather than causing you to see what the flashlight is pointed at, and not seeing what's directly beside the beam due to the reflector cutoff.

Some turn to stone cold killers, some remain animalistic and feral, or do some get Protagonist Syndrome and 1v1,000,000.

[@Briskyyy]

I have chronic migraines can I steal this superpower?

Okay as someone that has been swimming with sharks, and feeling a lot of calm swimming with them, i can agree with her. I would rather swim with sharks over hiking with bears. Im also probably just weird lol

[@tarotreadingsbysteven8545]

One thing I observed from the stories my mother told about work (nurse) patients who had a good outlook and positive attitude tended to fair better in most regards while those who gave up or had poor outlooks and attitudes tended to suffer from more complications like infections and such.

How would any creature be able to regenerate without using calories or some other "fuel" to do so. Like how? Where would all that energy come from?

[@rolinn9766]

I just stumbled onto your channel and I have to say... Love your sense of humor! Keep up the good work!

[@RoanokeGaming]

Thanks man!

[@keithbishop4941]

So fun fact there actually is a sharper version of shark mace wherein the diver has a special diving knife loaded with supercooled CO2 in the hilt as a cartridge. Causes a football sized cavitation inside whatever you stab and also flash freezes it to boot

Love is war, maybe.

I’d love to see a video on The Petrification Disease from ‘Lies of P’. Interesting plague that the game revolves around. Plus the game is based on Pinocchio!!

[@rbonds202]

When you said that stuff about the intestines, I swear I could feel mine moving for a bit

Love is merely a trick that DNA plays to replicate itself. - Tyr Anasazi

[@hernehaugen6878]

Best character in that show.

[@humanspoder777]

Pretty sure there actually is shark mace, it's essentially a wicked light tazer that messes with their ampullae of lorenzini. I think anyway lol

[@Son-of-Tyr]

Great video dude. I love movies like this, reminds me of that Cabinet of Curiosities episode - Autopsy. And you did a great job covering that one and this one. Oh and yeah, fire would probably be easiest/most effective at dealing with this alien scum.

[@deathbri5]

Hell yeah that's exactly what I thought! That was the best episode in the show too

[@Son-of-Tyr]

Being in the middle of painting a buck for a commission and hearing confirmed deer can't feel love had me dying

[@JDM-is-my-name]

I get side stitches from sitting sometimes. Random pain, even though I'm active in my lifestyle, although not the very. I bike and walk and dance for exercises a few times a week. So, yeah, I was told growing up that side stitches was ONLY because I wasn't fit enough. I am totally normal according to my doctor, so I don't buy that anymore. It's strangely nice to hear that we ain't entirely sure why side stitches happen :)

[@Tigeristiger]

I love how far he went with the alien space craft specs. I think you would be a alien mechanic and not even know it :P

[@NobodyDungeons]

So, on the topic of radiation based force multipliers the US military actually tried to make a mini nuke fallout style. However, it had a lot of issues such as irradiating the crew who shot it and many other issues which ultimately resulted in the project being scrapped.

[@merafirewing6591]

Aka the Davy Crockett.

[@salacca2297]

6:00 Probably the same reason I turn my car stereo down when I'm trying to look for something

[@blooky102]

I think we already did see the aliens true form behind the deer and during the first second of the attack on the deer, it looked like a huge flatworm with tentacles where the head or front area is.

[@nathanlynch9634]

Your videos never stop making me smile and learn new things.

[@Ug-lordetheunmovable]

I love how the alien got defeated by feeling human emotions it's like war of the worlds but instead of bacteria which I feel like is a lame excuse why would the aliens ignore sicknesses and diseases

[@shiggermetimbers]

Maybe they had cured all their diseases and sicknesses a long time ago so perhaps the concept if it was forgotten

[@TheFoshaMan]

00:00 to 2:00 That ladies and gentlemen, that's art and science bonding!

[@liam7930]

Wait.... did I miss something? They didn't explain what happened to Ruth in the cave? The way she was acting, to begin with, makes you think she was the one that got alien napped

[@luisgregoriopadilla9553]

In the cave was the original boyfriend vivisectioned

[@Balevolt]

That's why they made bullseye lanterns. As for the "Will you love me in the future", the answer would have been "Why you said no"

[@wheelsndealz]

I always thought a side stich was just your bodies way of telling you to slow down? a lot of negative shit happens when you start running/heavy activity so if your body isn't prepared for it the body freaks out saying "stop before you hurt yourself". and I think it's a side stitch because it's a cardiovascular activity. your lungs probably working overtime expanding and contracting so much the connective tissue probably get's strained. that's why runners always raise their arms to expand their ribs so the lungs can fully expand so they can take slow deep breaths and it goes away. at least that's what I thought about during pt runs. lol.

[@Fiddlers-Green42]

Congrats on a decade Roanoke, I've been with my wife 13 years so i know how much it means for you both

[@RoanokeGaming]

I appreciate that bro, unfortunately we flamed out but good on you for 13 years my man!

[@sxopexoxo]

Coming across this old video in my recommendation, I was looking for someone to mention about it. I hope you're doing okay roanoak❤❤​ Love your stuff @RoanokeGaming

[@crocdog5278]

Could you make a video about the analog horror series vita carnis. It has a decent amount of body horror.

[@RoanokeGaming]

I can take a look!

[@benmcreynolds8581]

That's a Great idea of something he could maybe cover later on sometime.
