I wonder if giant squids used to more frequently attack ships because they appeared to be like a dying whale, slapping the water with oars and just floating mostly, whereas modern ships have loud, horrifying engines that scare them off.

[@ArlanKels]

Also most giant squids that come to the surface do so out of age, or rather they're having a harder time staying deep underwater.(I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong please) And a dying whale like you said would be easy pickings for an aging giant squid. They'd be desperate for any food they could catch.

[@joshyc2006]

​@ArlanKels i think they come up as they're dying, maybe because in the deep they're hunted my sperms whales so it reduces their odds of fighting one? 😅

[@clownworld4655]

@@ArlanKelsthe only colossal squids that have been found on the surface were all dead. They don’t surface unless they are basically dead and the lack of pressure on the surface is bad for them.

[@froginabucket7294]

@@clownworld4655giant squid aren't that much smaller than colossal squid. And boats back then weren't that big, so its a pretty believable theory.

[@gregorymckenzie7511]

Could also be them taking a rest from being hunted by sperms whales, which would have been more common back in those days. Squid gets chased to the surface, may or may not be dying, sees a floating thing that isn't actively hunting it and figures it might be a good place to rest. That's my idea of what's going on.

[@Fireontire]

As a Norwegian it is pretty cool seeing someone go over all this. The Trolls have been part of our folklore as far back as the ancient sagas. You got all the names pretty spot on if I am honest. Jotnar though is kind of a more englishfied version, Jotun or Jotne is the local term for the big ones. Also the area they were in is called Jotunheimen, or the Jotun's home, it is a large national park of sorts covering the mountain and valleys in the area.

Back in the Viking age not all Trolls were humanoid. There were Troll animals as well. For example, if you burned a Troll and a bull or pig ingested the ashes, it could be considered a Troll afterwards. Troll-bull. It almost worked kind of like an infection. Crazy.

One of the coolest examples of finding new species unexpectedly was a few years ago. Right in NYC they found a new species of frog that'd been there the entire time and nobody realized it. So while I don't think cryptids as we think of them exist, it's 100% reasonable to expect some very freaky and some very mundane discoveries still.

[@TheGuindo]

i understand what you're trying to say with "cryptids as we think of them", you mean the most popular/infamous ones, but the thing is that the term 'cryptid' covers a wide range of possible creatures, from real living animals existing far outside their native range (english big cats) to real extinct animals (tasmanian tiger sightings, coelacanths) to possible undiscovered species (colossal squid) to wild nonsense fantasy shit like mermaids and mongolian death worms. Coelacanths and colossal squid are great examples of things that _used_ to be considered cryptids, and then had their existence documented by science and are now considered just mundane animals.

[@wlodek8757]

to be fair, i think large terrestial criptids arent neccesarly true - we know about couple of lynxes over entire area of balkans, for example - i doubt something large like bigfoot would be able to hide itself from scientific recognition etc

[@randomrabbit3161]

I didn't expect the troll bite to give him rabies. Somehow I expected it to turn him into a troll. In a surreal film where trolls exist and can smell a specific type of person, it's grounding to know they are also vulnerable to diseases.

[@Smulenify]

The trolls are supposed to be animals and natural, their existence is just kept secret. Them being able to smell christian blood is part of the folklore and stems from the belief that people posessed by demons would smell like demons, non-christians would smell bad, christians would smell normal/good and especially holy people would smell amazing. So really it's humans that are strange and smell differently depending on belief, and the trolls which can live for 1000's of years likely associate the smell with being hunted by early christians. So other animals like dogs and cats, could probably also recognise the difference in smell, but they don't care. Why christians smell different could be from various reasons. It could be that faith changes hormones in the body, but then it likely would also impact muslims and people of other faiths, which it doesn't seem to do. It could be something from going to church specifically, and that the smell lingers-- but not all christians actually go to church. In Norwegian the saying is that trolls can smell "christian mens blood", which could mean christians in general or it could be only christian/religious men specifically-- which means that muslim men might actually smell the same, but Malika is a woman so she doesn't smell that way. That would also work with the early christians hunting trolls theory, since that would primarily be done by men. Am I spending way too much time contemplating this over a movie that came out 13 years ago? Yes. Do I regret it? No.

Honestly, figuring out to work within the bounds of the square cube law is such a fun puzzle. Dragons are a million times more awesome when you've had to fight to make them function under the prison of physics.

[@azarinevil]

They're just dinosaurs with chemical flamethrowers in their mouths, that puzzle was solved in the 90's.. they really aren't that fun under the square cube law. The fun stuff is when you get into the lesser known creatures like penanggalan or dullahan. Try to figure out the physics of a creature that has two separate body parts/systems that function in conjunction with one another.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@azarinevil Honestly, it's not even the size that makes dragons cool for me. It's when they're portrayed as powerful, magical beings with a far greater intellect than humans could even imagine to possess, practically eldritch gods in their own right. The square cube law can be really messed with if you take that magical prowess into consideration.

The way to work around the square cube law is to just make everything else smaller. For example, imagine everything is the same, but everything is 1/100 the size. Now, you can create dragons the size of buildings, but in reality, they are 2 feet tall.

The poor bugger was probably infected with rabies.

[@renee_3364]

Slight correction on the European Tetanus guidelines: it's true that we don't booster everybody after a 10-year period, but if you get an injury that requires medical attention (like stitches) and it has been >10 years since your last tetanus-shot, you will get a booster there and then. Every GP-practice or ER carries them.

[@JohanJolos]

if a sickness is already within you a booster will do literally nothing to help it's not a 'cure' it's a sample of dead viral or bacterial matter to allow your body to build antibodies with, if you're already infected with something then your body will already be building antibodies for it rabies vaccines are an exception because without the shot your body will not actually know to fight it off before it's already too late but this is primarily due to the location of infection and rabies basically being sneaky

[@endocean117]

Can confirm the U.S. is kinda similar. While we should get a tetanus shot once every ten years, in my 30 years of living, it's not really ever been... mentioned by doctors. The only times I've gotten my boosters are when I suddenly, accidentally get a nail or rusty object through the foot and the doctor is like "Oh, shit. You need your tetanus shot. No better time than now. You're getting it now. Stay in that seat." In other news, I would greatly prefer a nail through the foot to a bite. Nails through foot (not hitting bone) only hurt for a couple minutes and barely bleed. Bites just fucking suck, man. They stay itchy for like a month.

[@Graves-81_69]

When you talked about armor and the effects of taking a hit it made me think of the energy transfer that a body would experience when wearing body armor and taking a hit. I don’t know if you’re aware of the Demolition Ranch channel, but today he tested an armor plate that can stop an AP 50 BMG and the effects on the body after taking that shot. It’s almost not worth even wearing lol, but I would recommend watching that episode

[@jacobfreeman5444]

I can imagine why you say it was almost not worth wearing that armor. Just to stop that caliber of round the armor would be very heavy. Either from sheer thickness or from all the layers designed to stop such a projectile. Next...well, most people wouldn't consider the fact armor does not magically stop the kinetic energy of the blow. Even if the projectile does get stopped before penetrating you it also is still gonna transfer that energy to you. Even regular handgun ammo can feel like getting punch hard when wearing bullet proof vests. So I can not imagine the sheer devastation the round in question would still do...must be like getting hit by a truck. So your organs are not gonna in good shape after that. Bruised and broken bones, internal hemorages from tears to any of your soft bits exposed to that energy, and the sheer shock from the blow. Pretty sure you could easily still die.

[@Graves-81_69]

@@jacobfreeman5444 I appreciate that you took the time to write that out. I’d recommend watching that video dude. Believe it or not the armor isn’t really that heavy and it actually stopped the black tip. However the ballistic dummy labs target it was on suffered a ruptured liver, 6 broken ribs, a fractured sternum and the whiplash of taking that energy ripped open the neck. I already didn’t think it was a survivable condition but it was cool to find out what would happen. I’m not sure who would want to actually wear that armor because the thickness looked to be at least 4 inches, and the only real impressive thing it did was stop a 300 Win Mag black tip, although you might die from spawling

​@RoanokeGaming I've loved your content for a while, you became my favorite when you mocked the predators (yautja) for being cowards and nerds.

[@NoOne1988]

Dinosaurs developed hollow bones. The development of hollow bones allowed dinosaurs to “break” the square-cube law as they weighed much less than would be expected and thus could support larger sizes without collapsing under themselves.

I would love for you to cover, even on Roanoke tails, these creatures from stories of Lovecraft’s. The Shadow Over Insmith featuring the Deep Ones, the Whisperer in Darkness featuring the Migo, At the Mountains of Madness featuring the Star Spawn and the dreaded Showgoth. Also the Color Out of Space featuring the Color. All of these have a very robust biological description for nearly each creature. In the mountains of madnesses, as the two explorers of the Eldridge ruins read the transcription, they realize even these creatures labeled entities like Cthulhu and his young(lower even than aza and narl) as even more utterly alien in comparisons to our own differences from the old ones themselves. Basically saying well humans are not from my planet but at least humans are from my galaxy. Great writer. The bipedal fish, the deep ones, with their ability to interbreed with humans, and most likely have the gene for gigantism, and DNA regulation like lobsters to live forever, unless harmed or otherwise. the ultimate video and challenge to do on Lovecraft would be the Color Out of Space, which was a Lovecrafts intention to make a life so abstract in explanation. Elijah Woods made a good decision making that his first film out of the mythos. Its difference stands out the most among his other creations. A truly different life form, that not any creature from your covers have come close to. Except for annihilation because they ripped it off.

"Well I'm glad you asked".... Ready to scare us to death with the horrors of well...everything around us that can take out our meat suits and make life utterly hell before death.

[@Theology.101]

If breaking the Square Cube Law is an issue, check out some Kaiju movies next. Show us convergent evolution in Pacific Rim

[@RoanokeGaming]

I might be able to do that, but the kaiju are so different from one another it make sit difficult to go through them

[@chrisdufresne9359]

​@@RoanokeGamingRemember, the Kaiju are just bioweapons. They're produced by the blue alien folk that ate a nuke.

[@Theology.101]

@@RoanokeGaming True, but the shared similarities between some of the builds shows how a few of them could be related (Knifehead to Slattern for example)

[@hiero1693]

​@@RoanokeGamingthey are biological weapons made to expire shortly after reaching earth, there is no evolution

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Thing is, we knew about the Giant Squid since the 1800s. Cause, unsurprisingly, everything that lives on this planet also _dies_ and that generally leaves a body behind.

[@snapeinvader]

Wonderful movie, and I'm totally with you regarding the christian blood thing. Why wouldn't they start to wonder why christians specifically?

[@TricaudaeStudio]

I don't know if anyone has already mentioned this, but the whole 'Ouroboros' thing where snakes eat their own tails is super rare, and usually when the snake undergoes neurological damage, especially from being too hot. But yeah, having worked with kingsnakes, some of them are... very much one brain cell, and that one brain cell only knows 'Open mouth and try to eat'. One California kingsnake that I worked with would repeatedly - and I mean REPEATEDLY - bite himself and refuse to let go. He would also bite the side of his enclosure, and people. So yeah, it can definitely be a thing. He was such a goober.

[@Imtiredpleasedont]

I can’t tell u how much I adore this movie and wish there where more like it.

[@ripleyandweeds1288]

I love the implication that these trolls are able to exclusively eat rocks but they can't chew through what looks like three inch thick metal armor.

[@Nobody_Fn_Important]

if they smell christians, does that mean those who are unbelievers are invisible to their sinus senses? and that would mean it's good to be an unbeliever when hunting trolls? also, UV Lasers, better living through particle physics.

[@TheSonicfanx1]

Love the video as always Roanoke! Commenting for algorithm. I've been catching almost all of your weekend uploads for almost a year now. Keeping doing what you're doing! You're slowly unlocking a new hidden interest in biology that I never thought I had. I was always a physics/chemistry person myself and never understood why I found (basic) biology so barebones boring but your videos never fail to keep me interested.

[@ValexTheGobbo]

I am so glad you covered this movie and the critters in it. I've watched this movie so many times and it's great. Spoilers: It's rabies.

[@Toanleigh]

It always is. ;)

[@richardjennings8853]

Can't believe you're channel getting this big, congrats man! I got into your channel from the dead space videos and have been watching since. I always watch the new weekly video on fridays since I enjoy them a lot, I hope you continue doing and enjoying this for a long time. Cheers!

[@DadsRUs]

As someone who has taken mushrooms in nature in the middle of nowhere, I completely understand how ancient people thought trolls, ents, fairy's, etc. existed.

[@doffle6106]

You've been on the chad grindset for the past several months busting out two videos a week, that 900K subs is hugely deserved. Livestream for the 1millie?

[@theramblinmahoney2316]

Watched this movie a lot when I was a teen, as a follower of Christ the idea of Trolls being attracted to my blood was always a bit chilling. Made them seem closer to Demons than anything from our world. Still, cool subject for you to cover.

[@atouchoftrouble]

I never realize how badly I needed Roanoke to do a recap/science of a movie till it shows up in my notifications.

[@Bluesuffolk]

Literally found this channel today (via Shin Godzilla), and I'm loving it! I love digging into logical monster creation!

[@jessicawilson1751]

I remember hearing about a kid whose parents were anti-vaxx, so the kid caught tetanus and was taken to the hospital by his parents. After a very expensive hospital stay and he recovered, his parents refused to vaccinate him after the fact...

[@UngiftedWatcher]

Never saw this movie cssue i thought it was gonna be terrible but the way you talked about everything... now im going to have to actually watch it. Thank you! And congrats on 900,000! I remeber the days of 800 subs like yesterday... how time flies!

[@Amarenamann]

*Amen to that! DEUS VULT!* 10:22

[@broperfectxp7346]

Love the channel been here since 30k ! wild were close to 1 million subscribers you deserve it good job!

[@RoanokeGaming]

thanks my man! and I appreciate you sticking around :)

[@CasaHouse2205]

Thanks for the constant content, Roanoke. I love listening to your scientific breakdowns while I work. Question, not about the square cube law, but about reaction times in a creature that massive: Could light-based nerves serve to convey information faster than the normal setup? Basically fiber-optics instead of standard wiring? I am a massive fan of Kaiju movies and am constantly trying to come up with ways to explain them scientifically. (as much as one can) My latest bugbear is figuring out why there isn't a noticeable delay between them being hit in an extremity and their reactions. With normal nerves it seems like there would be a bit of lag when the "stubbed my toe" signal has to travel 400ft to reach the brain. Also would dovetail with how 90% of modern Kaiju are bioluminescent. Keep up the awesome work!

[@TheRandomnone]

This movie was such a fever dream. Why would you run up to a giant troll and poke it in it's butt with nothing but a suit of armor on?

[@enderkatze6129]

I Like how the students randomly disappear, but their Tapes emerge unscathed

[@young_boy_dre9488]

Been here since 50k subs, so glad your so close to a mil!

[@scottmundy1258]

I adore that the bridge scene is a subtle Three Billy Goats Gruff (sp?) reference

[@humanbread2619]

I just want to say, i really appriceate how you make the science intertwined with the story now i think its way better this way

[@greenlightnenx2622]

Hey Roanoke, your content is the reason I’m asking trying AP-biology. I just going to thank you because a lot of what you talk about helps.

[@ilariomichelini4616]

@Roanoke hi, I live in Switzerland and had my Tetanus booster 3 or 4 years ago. The doctor told me that now the booster lasts 20 years. I was born in Italy and booster for tetanus vaccine is mandatory every 10 years. So we indeed do the boosters. Cheers!

[@Isometrix116]

32:06 Also, heat dissipation. Since the square cube law means that the surface area is squared while volume is cubed, we can say that a body would produce ^3 the heat but only have ^2 the surface to dissipate it. (okay, not exactly probably, but the point stands).

[@troesler81]

Bizarre fact about the guy that built the armor bear suit you showed at 19:50 he died when his car hit a semi truck hauling gas and exploded.

[@walnzell9328]

I'd honestly love seeing a sequel to this movie. Even if it's not a horror movie and more like a mockumentary that just lore dumps about trolls.

[@OomoriYakumo]

This is one of my favorite hidden gem Sci fi movies. Glad you covered it!

[@RonaldAsks]

I remember when our teacher wanted us to watch the Trolls movie on KZbin in elementary school but instead she put this on and we watched Troll hunter 😂

[@kevinfm8933]

I love this whole series. Please keep making these rad videos well into the future, and I hope you find a ton of success!

[@Boschtelix]

Funny fact, one tiny bridge is near the village a friend of mine lives, we moved over there, sadly the troll was gone, but I'm sure the troll was above us in the mountain 😊

[@Recoil1808]

Fun fact since you mentioned square cubed law: even certain parts of that - or at least some assumptions it's led to - are being challenged, now. Scientists keep finding bigger and bigger extinct animals, land and sea alike, which seems to be in roughly the same ballpark as we've seen whales start to cap out at, and the issue is we have far more (and far more statistically stable) samples of extant blue whales than we ever will of things like Bruhkayosaurus.

[@ShadowTheLion]

Haven't watched the Vid yet, just want to give you a boost in the algorithm. It's great to see you getting sponsorship.

[@highdrangea790]

One of my favorite movies of all time, so glad you covered this

[@heyhiheythere5243]

Nice man glad u otw to a million subs been a fan of the breakdown video for a couple years now I like the gaming and old school Roanoke tails the writin stories u narrated they were kewl 2 keep up the good work man and best of luck to u goin forward in whatever u pursue

[@IcyCaress]

My body is a violation of the square cube law

[@JonathanGhost42]

Same.

[@RoanokeGaming]

What a beautiful statement 🤠

[@jakeking974]

Thanks for the beginning of this video in massively triggering my thalassophobia, I definitely needed that

[@CIZZO-yw1bl]

dude ten years from now Im gonna absentmindedly remember some biology tidbit and realize I learned it from here. fuckin moment in youtube history you are chad
