20:15 u see lightnings- Perun slowly starts be free... Perun is main and oldest Slavic god (Perun later Piorun- lightning, thunder etc) hes patron off all "weathers", terrains, prosperity in air, land, seas* (animals, fishes, birds) etc

[@jowojc]

Baba Jaga is most probably bad christian legend of Mokosz - slavic goddess Mother Earth, wife of Perun. This is indicated e.g. by the scene in which a tiny plant - an oak tree - grows from a wooden support, which Jaga then plants.

[@christophergamedev]

If only Netflix would let these guys do the Witcher show instead...

[@elzbietabetlej4085]

Yaga was a witch, a forest protector and the guardian of the metamorphosis of a child into an adult. As this required the" death" of one stage and the " birth" of the other, Grimm brothers used it and created a tale of Baba Yaga who is ugly, kidnapps children, fatten them up and eat them. Therefore in this interpretation there is a lot connections of Yaga trying to take back civilisation and nature to flourish, oak tree she is planting is the sacred tree of Perun, slavic god of thunder, therefore Boruta was so worried in the end. Noone messed with Perun. Slavic mythology revolved around nature, sacred trees and forests, and the respect for nature and connection of man and nature.

[@jackflash147]

That is correct , but i think, that the Grimm brothers didn't create a concept of Jaga as a ugly child/man eating demon, it was a Church, wen Christianity arrived to slavic lands , Church was trying to eradicate all pogan beliefs system and customs. One of the ways, was degrading pagan deities to the rank of the demons an portrate them as something unclean/unholy. Grimm brothers adapted the Christian version of Jaga and add few things from themselves.

[@elzbietabetlej4085]

@@jackflash147 you are right about the Church, however Grimm brothers made it famous again. With those few people remembering the origins , the big villain image was spread around the world. Like the very term witch. Originally in Polish lands term witch was addressed to very wise women who got knowledge about herbs and healing. With coming of Christianity witches were portrayed as those serving devil ( they were originally pagans like the whole Slavic societies, duh) . Then those who were Christians but got knowledge, wisdom and knew how to think independently were hunted down and burnt at stake ( inquisition) . Thankfully in Poland Inquisition was quickly abolished as Polish Kingdom established freedom and equality of beliefs( in XVc. were last cases of inquisition judgements).

Czy Perun to nie Zeus?

[@elzbietabetlej4085]

@@barbaradanilczuk3115 Perun to nie Zeus. Miał podobne moce( władał burzą i piorunami) i był jednym z czołowych bogów w panteonie bóstw słowiańskich. Jego atrybutami były orzeł piorun dąb i topór. Oczywiście religia słowiańska była otwarta na wpływy z zewnątrz, dlatego możemy znaleźć w jej mitologii parafrazy i porównania do bogów rzymskich czy skandynawskich. Przez wielu Perunowi przypisuje się też, oprócz przymiotu siły i potęgi militarnej, dar podtrzymywania życia. Czynił to jako pan obfitej i życiodajnej burzy, której towarzyszy ulewa. Wiąże się tą zdolnością wiele obrzędów. Odwiecznym wrogiem walczącym z Perunem jest Żmij lub Weles pod jego postacią. Zmagał się z nim Perun, wyposażony w topór na wozie zaprzężonym w białego źrebca, o deszcz i panowanie nad światem. Do dziś w wielu regionach dawnej Słowiańszczyzny odprawia się ceremonie zabicia lub wygnania żmii w celu sprowadzenia opadów. Hołubiły tę celebrę szczególnie społeczności rolnicze.

In Slavic mythology, Yaga was an immortal witch - that's why she is beautiful. She was the guardian of nature and some legends say that she will contribute to the end of the world.

[@adamnowak7232]

The concept of this story is a fresh look - contrasts, breaking patterns, etc. That's why she is beautiful.

[@radoslawwieszczyk3461]

If you're done with "main storyline" you need to watch now smaller character stories which are told in musicvideos for covers used in the series: "jaskółka uwięziona", "aleja gwiazd", "mój jest ten kawałek podłogi", "kocham wolność", "cichosza", "Jezu jak się cieszę". I think I named them all.

[@wieczor3000]

@Rob Reacts There is a story behind this, explained in the audiobook (also published by Allegro) "Interview with Boruta". When Christianity came to Poland, all Slavic gods and demons had to be removed from power in favor of a new religion and imprisoned in hell. Boruta being one of them (lesser god of forests) agreed to betray his kind and became a devil, director of Polish Hell (hell seems to be divided into regions :)). He tricked the Slavic gods and demons into imprisoning them and is supposed to guard them. Yaga and Basilisk are just a few examples. When Twardowski hacked into their servers, he also destroyed locks and security systems, which is why Basilisk and Jaga escaped. Devils solve the problem, and Boruta thought that by leaving Jaga free, he could bring chaos to the world and become its ruler. However, there is one problem that Rokita mentions - there is a possibility that Yaga will free Perun and of course he will not be friendly to them, because they kept him in prison for so long and removed him from power. WHO IS Perun and why they are so afraid of him, check on Wiki :)

[@andrzejkoraben4098]

Tak, jest ogromna rzesza fanów serii która żałuje że nie ma kontynuacji... Dziękuję Ci za kontynuację oglądania i komentowania serii. Łączę się z Tobą w zachwycie nad pomysłowością i realizacją. Pozdrowienia i do następnego :D

Ciekawi mnie, czy brak kontynuacji to kwestia tego, ze im si koszty nie zwróciły, czy tego, ze im Netflix podkradł Tomasza Bagińskiego.

[@filippiatkowski4602]

For the record, Perun (the one were talking about setting free) is one of main gods of slavic mytology, also you can find some good animated slavic mytology explaning videos to react to them, as its topic that not many people know about

[@VeneficusCubes]

For Perun, I suggest watching the music video Lelek - Perun. It's a cartoon animation set in modern poland countryside. The song itself is their original. It's not related to this storyline, but does show a bit who Perun is, or at least who he would be if left in modern poland. Also the music itself is just great.

[@jkpakosz6698]

I'm still praying him 😂 and don't give a f... about middle east fairy tales that took over hundreds years ago 😂

[@Monique-tw5rb]

There is no point to make a Perun = piorun, the God of lightning the most dangerous Slavic god. He was believed to give males masculine strenght and valour. Even the place on the ground hit by lightning was thought as a healing. I suppose the most evil and vicious god was alias Velos, Velinas, Veles, Volos. It was believed that having three faces, he ruled three kingdoms - heaven, earth and hell. Sometimes, he appeared among people taking a form of elderly man asking for water to drink. Anyone who did not give him water would face misfortunes for the rest of its life.

[@Terentir]

Yah, if you are a bit more familiar with Old Norse gods, imagine Thor on steroids xD

[@malgorzata3124]

Baba Jaga is personalised wisdom of nature in folk teaching stories. Nature is neutral. Nature tests human nature. Nature tests, train and enhance our inner truth. That is what Baba Jaga does in Slavic culture.

[@edwardmadry4299]

Now you know: not only Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Scandinavian, British mythology exists. There is also the mythology of the Slavs: rich, deep and little known in the Western world.

[@stefans.615]

In Poland, Baba Yaga's house, standing on a chicken leg, was supposed to scare away the kids who were playing around the "Koźlak" windmills. They were built on a hill of wood. Such a mill was characterized by the fact that it stood on a stake and its foot was quadrangular (toed foot of a hen). Thanks to this construction, it could be set to the wind. The propellers (wings) of the windmill were very long and ended about a meter above the ground. Kids running by the working windmill were often (unfortunately) hit by the spinning propeller. Such fun ended tragically. That is why "Koźlak" was presented as Baba Yaga's house standing on a bald glade on a chicken leg. Regards Rob I like your videos. Sincerely, Stefan pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C5%BAlak_%28wiatrak%29 a well-restored windmill stands near me in Kłóbka (exhibit of an ethnographic open-air museum)

[@jutrzenka7503]

Baba Jaga is a wiedźma (unfortunate translation of this word is witch). Word wiedźma comes from wiedza, what means wisdom, so wiedźma means woman with huge wisdom (traditionally wiedźma was female, wiedźmin (witcher) is recently created male form).

[@lordkelvin441]

WItcher in late Slavic traditions was someone else though. Also the word 'wizard' relates to 'wise' and confusing wisdom with knowledge is apparently a thing we take from Gernan-speaking people in droves. It's interesting to note how Karl Zoltan Brust - Hungarian-American author writing under pen name of Steven Brust names his main protagonist - Vlad Taltos - 'male with' (not wizard or witcher) despite his ability to operate two types of magic powers. Per certain obscure interview he has done so in deference to none other than Sapkowski which he is friends with.

[@SzymonUruk]

U could see music videos. They are short storys connected with classic polish songs. About Barduha, Lucynka, Rokita with Marysia and Boruta.

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

Yeah basicaly Baba Jaga(old and ugly) was an archetype for witches in mainstream. Its not like "they dont believe in you, they dont like nature, they arent on your side". Its not aboud sides. Often in fantasy there is a trope that mystical being gain power from believes or fear of mortal people. Gods dying when they are forgoten etc. Good example of this is in anime Noragami. The gods that are currently popular are rich, powerful, have great temples and lots of servants. But the main character, who is an old god of war (and no one cares about war in 21st Japan) is like a joke. Homeless, in an old tracksuit, he doesn't even have a shrine, no one knows his name, and he has trouble keeping one servant. Fun thing that is could be hard to catch for someone who isnt native in Polish. That little girl sound so stiff and fake... like she recite some XVst poem. Nobody talk like that. And that becose... that was set up for Jaga. Becose she didnt aclimatise yet. For her she sound normal. But for polish viewer that was very weird interaction. In some random open space musem some random child pop up and start to speak like a bard.

[@TheDragonlover3]

And if not for his 'understanding' toward audience and importance of books, that was a huge mistake to do of him to have accepted it... I think Baginski would do greater as an original script writer, continuing with Legendy Polskie rather than... Well, what is going on around Witcher now. That stain washes off difficult when it comes for your career. I heard Baginski said early that year he would love to come back to bring Legendy Polskie once again in the future, but... I don't know if he has a good confidence source right now.

They had plans to make a feature-length film, probably about Twardowski, but Tomasz Bagiński, the director of Polish Legends, preferred to work on the production of Netflix's The Witcher... maybe now they will return to the idea of producing this film/series... We're all counting on that...

[@danielbarnhizer676]

I really wish that Allegro continued this series. There is so much nuance, character, and depth along with an amazing take on a traditional story line. This series is in some parts the essence of Poland (especially the recreation of the Smok legend) and traditional slavic/rus mythology.

[@paulinarapicka]

There are multiple versions of Yaga's story (as many folklore stories do). In some, she can appear as a young woman, and she flies on a broom. Edit: Here she is depicted sorta as a Mother Nature (yes, I too feel that "Galadriel" vibe, I think it is intentional), with a little bit of chaos, nature, after all ;) And the mentioning of a swallow remains of Ciri from The Witcher. She also is named Swallow. 16:11 "This is soo good!" Yeah, it gets better when U realise that Borura is, all along, aiming for Yaga to break free and unleash hell on Earth, because he wants to have more souls in Hell :D It's genius! Except... PERUN (the highest god of the pantheon and the god of sky, thunder, lightning, storms, rain, law, war, fertility and oak trees. So the powers of Thor, but he is the king.) About Twardowsky- those words about the Purple Watchmaker are from a song "Zegarmistrz światła purpurowy". It's a song about incoming death and that ppl don't know what is after.

[@mhkage9104]

What's best about it is the combination of Legends with the present and today's language. I don't know if the English subtitles fully reflect the original. In particular, Boruta speaks very freely. He often uses diminutives (Jaguś instead of Jaga) and metaphors. He generally tries to sound friendly. In fact, in all these films there are many typically Polish jokes, puns, references to Polish everyday life, which makes it even better for a Pole.

And again I can see references to the Witcher. Music while she was fighting and also when flew out of the hut. The swallow motif, same as with Ciri. Herbs, which give superpowers like in the Witcher. I think that Yaga is very similar to 'bruxa', the vampire girl looking like very pretty young woman. She is also very fast, can be invisible and fly/jump to a prey in a short distance. These vampires in the Witcher's Universe also love forests, birds and generally nature.

The feature film under the working title 'Twardowsky 3.14' that's been planned for the release in 2020 or 2021 never came out. What's more, unfortunately Piotr Machalica passed away in 2020. Personally I can't imagine any other actor replacing him as Rokita, the deputy devil :(

All the songs used in "Legends" are covers of Polish hits even from the 70s, such as "Swallow trapped" by Stan Borys or "Clockmaster of Light" by Tadeusz Woźniak. Allegro's "Polish Legends" are only an artistic vision of the authors, not their literal visualization.

You have a plus for me right from the start, I watched a lot of different KZbinrs and their reactions to Baba Jage, but you were the first to check who she was. Cool

[@RobReacts1]

Thank you! I didnt want to go into it blind

[@annazielinska8380]

Wspaniale dedukujesz Rob, jestem pod wrażeniem, pozdrawiam anna

Oh! There is also and audiobook "Wywiad z Borutą" (Interview with Boruta) - it gives the origins of Boruta and other characters from Allegro Universe. Famous polish actress Krystyna Janda is playing the role of the Interviewer :)

[@krzysztof4802]

Boruta is the director of Polish Hell :D

[@mieczysawpastafarianski8901]

6:33 "what am I, a guardian angel?" and the face that Rokita (Boruta's assistant) made. There is a hidden Easter egg in this, in the music video from this universe for the cover of the song "Kocham wolność" you can see Rokita without a shirt and he has glowing scars from clipped angel wings, from which you can guess that he was previously a guardian angel 18:40 It's on tape because after the action with Twardowski, Rokita got angry and destroyed the place. They glued it as temporarily as possible... Ps: it's Polish hell, the budget is limited, it's not USA or German hell...

[@piotrr4097]

Well, it is not that they ran out of money. There was even a plan for full-length movie. But in the meantime the owner of Allegro company had changed and the new owner closed the project.

Nawet się udała ta " Jagusia". Z dawnych legend po dziś dzień mamy Łysą Górę, na której odbywały się sabaty czarownic.

Along with Twardowsky 1 and 2, this one is ny favorite episode from all of the Legends and the last song is so amazing, such a great cover ❤

[@fircykfircyk488]

Rob, Whole Poland is waiting for next parts. Trust me.

[@jacekrokita6742]

Perfect. I am a polisch man and i didn't know about this modern Yaga. Thanks Rob for presentation. 😂.

[@ephaltes.]

After this episode, they wanted to do full movie about Twardowsky. But in meantime the owners of Allegro changed and the new ones got different opinion about creating such things. After all - Allegro is not a movie studio - they are just a shop. Everybody, including crew from Polish Legends hoping to come back to me it one day - but it is now not longer provable.

I lived in England for five years. I met two friends from England. When I told them I was going back to Poland, they cried. There are no borders.. We are together. 🥳

I'm polish and the only thing I knew about Baba Jaga is that she's a witch and I only ever heard about her from our version of Red light-Green light.

[@magdalenagabrowska8169]

There are actually 4 music video's that have storylines that connect to this movies, I think this are the last ones on playlist legendy polskie. Videos tgat have Cover in name, they have little stories very fun to watch.

[@polacheck8896]

shes is like guardian between peoples and nature

[@agnieszka7231]

In Slavic folklore, witches are neutral, you just shouldn't upset them. Witch ( wiedźma) in Polish translation is "woman who knows". We have two terms "wiedźma" ( Baba Jaga) and " czarownica" a woman of witchcraft (they are evil) probably corresponds more to an English-speaking witch ;) Slavic witches are usually beautiful, but they can be ugly depending on the circumstances, their most important trait is that they are smart. Don't upset the Slavic girl if you don't want to see the look like Jaga has xD

[@Pawlo370]

Child in Poland are mainly scaring by Baba Jaga

[@anuskas9244]

Jaga and Baba Jaga are two different legend and two different people

[@mariuszdabrowski9115]

In Slavic mitology most of demons, creatures doesn't good or bad. For good people there are good and helpful but for bad people there are bad Some creature, yes there are only bad or good.

[@yarzyn_5699]

They didnt run out of money, Allegro is a giant company. They got bought tho so this was put on hold and later Bagiński got this Witcher job at Netflix. According to him 'Legendy' are not done yet, just on hold, so maybe one day...

[@MaciejBogdanStepien]

14:29 Borutha's double game! This one was exceptionally well-written.

[@jarekdutko6708]

Dear Rob! I admire your attitude to the movies you analyze. And I mean that you really analyze them! You are the most intelligent and clever analyst of the Polish culture. You are always prepared and you interpret the special meanings of the local culture so well. Good luck and a succesful channel achievments for you!

[@RobReacts1]

Thank you very much. You will see in pretty much all the videos on all topics I like to delve in very deep and analyse. :)

[@karol23s91]

Every year in Poland there is a reconstruction of the Battle of Grunwald, a gigantic event 😮💪👍

[@sawomirmadejak5138]

Baba Yaga is Boruta's sister. Boruta is a low-class devil who walked through the forests like a faun from the novel "The Chronicles of Narnia. Only the Polish Boruta was hungry for power. It was he who turned people against the Slavic gods. The old Slavic rulers imprisoned their gods in the lower levels of hell. And Boruta became the guardian of hell. . This was the pact between people and the Christian heaven and Boruta. (I will add that in 996 Poland was baptized and became a Catholic country.) This is the prologue that Allegro presented as "Interview with Boruta" Boruta tells the journalist about the whole intrigue and betrayal committed by Boruta.

[@Kuzcmada]

Yaga is common to slavic mythology, but mortar or churn is her transport in east slavic legends. On west she use broomstick. And her beauty... well... all women are witches and have their ways to look much better. ;) It's 21st century, she adopted to new culture of beauty and look-centrism. :D

Niezłe przygotowanie do oglądania filmu. Scena walki to dla mnie trochę takie elementy z 'Matrix-u' połączone ze sceną z filmu 'Dom latających sztyletów'. Ja bym chętnie zobaczyła reakcje na zwiastuny polskich filmów takich jak choćby: 'Zimna wojna', 'Filip', 'Raport Pileckiego', ' IO', ' Essential Killing', 'Dzień świra', 'Jutro idziemy do kina', 'Listy do M.', 'Planeta singli', ' Miasto 44'... Przypuszczam, że ludzie będą mieć jeszcze kilka propozycji.
