[@aaramchase3502]

Can you look in the biology of Beetlejuice or the mask lol

[@grantpflum6844]

The Necromongers worship death. The process to become a necromonger, where you get the two spike's driven into your neck, kills off a lot of the normal biological processes resulting in the person having reduced emotions and sterility. Its why the necromongers refer to anyone outside of their order as breeders. Threeface took this process even further by taking a pilgrimage to the necromonger underworld, their version of mecca/land of the dead, and became something known as a holy half dead. Its why he has all the freaky soul powers. By saying that they should promote him to full dead Dame Vaako is actually saying that they should assassinate him and take his place because, according to necromonger law, you keep what you kill.

[@grantpflum6844]

Important to note that Dame Vaako is not burning her eyes. She is lining her eyes with coal, an actual cosmetic practice that dates all the way back to ancient egypt and is something she actually did in the movie. They just added the smoke for a bit of theatrical flare.

[@thepaulswartz]

I will add that the Director's Cut of Chronicles of Riddick adds so much more to the "lore" of Furia which the normal movie just doesn't bother with. Especially the fight on the burning planet. Riddick didn't get knocked out by the blast of the gun. He actually channeled the power of Furians. It is worth watching over the regular movie.

[@mortem-tyrannis]

Riddick already feels like an outsider with normal humans it's not a far fetch idea to think he lied to seem more human rather than saying it's an evolutionary trait of his people setting him farther apart.

[@GrimmShadowsII]

If we assume the games are Canon then he could have just not been sure what happened and rationalized in his brain that the surgery must have happened. Also at the time of the first movie he likely didn't know he was Furyian seeing as he was found in a dumpster half choked to death with his umbilical cord. We don't know where or even who found him or too much of his childhood. In the second movie you could say he was saying it to confirm that Kira really was Jack as they had that conversation with more or less the same words in the first movie.

[@mortem-tyrannis]

@GrimmShadowsII that's very possible as well.

[@86lanzo]

Also his ppl were killed when he was a very young age..there was nobody around to explain anything to him..he may genuinely not know its a genetic trait of his ppl

[@mortem-tyrannis]

@86lanzo that too is another good possibility.

[@UnsungPhoenix]

He also doesn't like to talk about himself so it seems logical he would say things like that to stray people away from him. He is a hardened criminal and warrior after all so his idea of keeping good people safe, is to make sure they fear him enough to listen to him

[@arfbark3924]

To be vaguely fair to Helion Prime: The Necromongers are advanced enough that their small-arms fire bolts of compressed paragravity whereas the Helions seem to have good old-fashioned chemical combustion mass drivers.

[@jrockoclock7088]

also you're watching them take a single city rather than what's happening on the rest of the planet. If you send an army to NYC you could easily take it, all they have is like the intrepid for defense. They're not in an actively garrisoned military base. Also they can destroy an entire planet 40k exterminatus style. Separately in fairness to the 'space ship flies fine in space when confronted with solar radiation vs has trouble in atmosphere' I imagine an atmosphere that oscillates between 1000 degrees on a daily basis probably produces a lot of fucked up turbulence and makes landing a pain in the ass. Also gas and vacuums conduct heat differently - but the point that it's insane that there's that much of a change is very true

The eyeshine is simply activated. He always had it. Pope Joe, the doctor from Butcher Bay, only stitched his arm up. The eyeshine was activated right after by his inner Furian voice. The same voice that is embodied in Chronicles of Riddick.

[@mercurioslevin1877]

@@Gurtington it might not make sense but that is how it happens in the game - like he said the doc just patches up Riddick's arm and then suddenly he complains about getting a sudden stabbing pain in his eyes as a hears a voice then suddenly he has glowing eyes and can see in the dark and he grabs those goggles of a side table as he leaves and being him being an Alpha Furian is given by the voice in his head for the reason why it happened. 🤷‍♂its not a great explanation but it is the only one we have been given about his eyes as even in that game Riddick first seeks out the doctor because he had heard about shine jobs being a thing which the doc states is it impossible.

[@Dinidan]

This was my understanding. The trait may have been dormant until that point but it was always there. There was no shine job.

[@wiseguy01]

The eyeshine is described as a genetic trait exclusively inherited by Alpha Furyans like Riddick, whom is also stronger than the others. While all Furyans possess peak human physiology, the Alphas are known to be damn near, if not outright, superhuman. Not all Furyans possess this genetic trait. The game is canon and retconned the first movie as Jack points out nothing he told her about the prison was true when it came to the eyeshine. In the game we never see Riddick get his eyeshine surgery as he described it. This video even mentioned it. All the surgeon did was stitch up his wound. Riddick who knew NOTHING of his Furyan heritage simply attributed it to the surgeon as an explanation. He was wrong. Vaako even tells Riddick he fought a Furyan during the genocide that possessed the same eyes as him, further proving it is a natural trait. Also I own the games and the movies since I was a teenager.

[@charleshammel8541]

@kal.asther you know what, I think you're right. He's the key ingredient

[@CallMeKes]

I think the implication was they only dusted the planets they couldn't conquer. But also the converts would all be brought off planet so...*shrug* I don't think Riddick knew he was a Furyan. It sounded to be like he was orphaned and put on another planet. And also, the reason they freaked out about Riddick being a Furyan was because there was a sort of prophecy that the lead guy's empire would be brought down by a Furyan. At least that was my understanding.

So if I remember correctly, I may be mistaken, the reason the necromongers don’t keep the planets is because they are “on a crusade to the underverse” and don’t need/want the planets because the only way to get to the underverse is to die in service of the head marshal. I.E. they need to keep finding new planets to conquer and die on to reach their afterlife, where the head marshal repopulates his army from the converts/conscripts and continues to the next planet.

Riddick was never supposed to be the main character or the start of a saga, it was just a one and done movie. Vin Diesel killed the role so much that they decided to make it a saga and add lore all around it, hence why in the first movie they mention it's an expensive eye surgery and starting Chronicles of Riddick he's a Furyan. The girl even makes a comment in Chronicles of Riddick about how she looked everywhere and nobody was doing eye surgeries like that.

I think the reason is the same as in the Lancer universe. So much time has past that human cutlures have divided across the galaxy- now these colonies have had such little contact between each other that there isnt a unifying human force to protect individual planets. So many worlds cant afford or dont have the technology themselves to produce oribital arrays.

"I bow to no man." - Richard B. Riddick

[@thesarcasticliberal]

Her name is Kiera. Remember, in Pitch Black, she was traveling as "Jack" while pretending to be a boy, because it was unsafe for her to travel as a lone girl. It's funny that you had a Mass Effect reference earlier on, as the game team were big fans of the series. Jack from Mass Effect is based on this Jack. Also, you could have a situation where there is an extreme disparity in temperatures, but only if there is some sort of intense atmospheric lensing, coupled with an environment that doesn't retain heat well. Basically, the light is magnified by the atmosphere in direct sunlight, but the heat dissipates once the sunlight is off it. It wouldn't be even vaguely breathable though.

[@helloScuffed]

When Pitch Black was filmed, there were no major plans involving the character of Riddick. In fact, Pitch Black was never intended to launch a franchise. The film exists as a completely isolated episode in the Riddick saga and is more of a spin-off than a prequel or part of the “Chronicles of Riddick” cinematic universe. Thus, the genesis of Riddick's eyes is different in Pitch Black, in which he is a human, than in the rest of The Chronicles of Riddick, in which he is a Furian.

While playing rather recklessly on an obstacle course I manage to get pushed roughly 35 feet to the ground and the only thing that was damaged was my ligaments (Impact force) Everything else was perfectly fine. Since then I've been ran over twice, fallen from a tree and Sideswiped by a train. All without ever breaking a bone. Although double boned density sounds awesome, everything else gets messed up though LMAo

"I raise you pedantic and shallow" is a great line

[@ismaeldotbiz]

Indeed, pedantic and shallow

[@inquisitorthomasdefinitely536]

Evolution very rarely dose a perfect in evolution but sometime over millions of years and sheer persistence dose it come up with something perfect which can be applied to are own technology

[@randallbesch2424]

Eugenics not Evolution.

[@inquisitorthomasdefinitely536]

@ I’ve never been taught the difference or been able to finger it out unfortunately do you know the difference by chance? I genuinely want to know

Another human adaptation i know is from the people from the andenean sector of the atacama desert, also know as Atacameños. They can digest arsenic.

[@Yogi_Bear69]

25:45 The reason they let the beasts eat people is because if they reduce the number of prisoners they can fit more in the same size hole. They were not recording the prisoners when they get eaten. This is further confirmed before the teacup scene "They aren't dead if they're still on the books".

[@steel8231]

Aren't blue eyes thought to only be about 20k years old? And they're recessive, so they had to be a great adaptation (at least for getting people who had them laid).

[@randallbesch2424]

Yes, could be, However it isn't even a color more of a density of color.

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

There seems to be no real benefit to them and being recessive unlikely to be passed on... so very likely it's just an attraction thing like you said. I imagine if you're only used to a certain colour of eyes then something different is going to attract your attention.

[@steel8231]

@retsaMinnavoiG People still have a thing for unusual coloration, while blue eyes are "normal" in Europe and North America they're still pretty rare other places and redheads in general are still pretty rare and tend to have a lot of attention on them that way.

The memes of military spouses are real. I was flying out of fort Leonard wood (army base) and the front desk ladies were getting into a pissing contest over there spouses ranks and me and some soldier just looked at each other like wtf is going on right now 😂

[@sevenember3332]

I’m sorry you were at Ft. LostInTheWoods. Happy you flew out of there. But yeah, I don’t think the Marine detachment had much of anything to do with the civilians, though I was there over 20 years ago. I can absolutely believe the wives got into piddly contests regarding their husband’s rank and how it reflected their standing. It’s not there was much for them to do around there

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

He did explain where he got his eyes. Both in this movie and Pitch Black. Step 1: Unalive a few people. Step 2: Get sent to a slam where you never see the light of day again. Step 3: Dig up a doctor and pay him 20 menthols to shine your eyes.

[@Stew_Pid]

But it's not what actually happened. Only thing Pope Joe did was stitch up his arm.

[@windsnowandstatic9075]

Jack/Kira also said she couldn’t find anyone that would do a shine job “not even for 20 menthol kools.” It’s not out of character for riddick to lie about his past.

[@ItsFreakinHarding.]

18:10 "With the existence of souls, elementals, and.... people who hide remotes." Yeah that last group is definitely the worst of the lot!😂

[@Elytheri]

Butcher Bay was such a fun game honestly I need to play through it again honestly I still remember the section's with the Dwellers and the Creatures terrified me when I was younger

[@freakgameplays5775]

Now I'm excited to hear your descriptions of the monests and the dog thing in Riddick

[@Akutenshi1990]

How DARE you not know the lore behind a movie series you only just started? How dare Roanoke! Joking. Great vid! Even as someone that knows the lore a bit to this series I still really enjoy your vids.

[@sydneys207]

If you ever want to see a real-world example of relatively quick changes in a species, the Belyaev fox experiments are really cool.

[@sevenember3332]

As I understand things, it only takes about 20 generations for a trait to become a fixed feature. So, not very long at all, even on a human timeline

[@Marcus_Postma]

Today I learned that I likely have double bone density, which I didn't realize was a thing, but explains a few things.

"Listen brother I raise you pedantic and shallow" made me laugh so hard I had to leave my first comment on your videos, your videos always make me watch movies I wouldn't have given a shot thanks for the amazing and entertaining videos Roanoke

[@MrSw3rls]

Actually, in butcher bay, pope joe stiches Riddicks arm up and riddick goes blind. Riddick gets all mad and joe is like "i have no idea what youre talking about, i just stiched your arm". The problem being, there are 2 different versions of the game

That was so quick for a shine job vid imma bust a optic nerve

lol the kyrack, jayra, jackra, even kackra. one day it'll be kakarot :p and yeah, this furian backstory sounds pretty similar to saiyan getting erased by freeza, leaving a small number to serve.

[@jordanponcilius9701]

Really glad you mentioned the games.Its been so many years I personally only remembered that the games mentioned something about the shine job and that was it. Love the videos! Keep it up the awesome work!

[@CW19941]

I know in Escape from Butcher Bay, there is a man who offers an eyeshine procedure to Riddick, but you also find out that Riddick is a Furyan. Lots of lore😂😂Edit:I thought it was hilarious when you refer to Karl Urban's character in The Chronicles of Riddick as Butcher. Good Ole Billy Butcher also played a good Judge Dredd. Who's the law? He is.😂

[@amandak9546]

Me: *Running on treadmill, watching latest roanoke* My screen: *Tons of long shots on ripped guys* 💪💪 Person next to me: 👀👀👀 Me: ..... It's science, I swear 😅😂 Good video 👍 Prompts awkward convos lol

[@qliphalpuzzle5453]

The major issue of the movie for me is they could have had simple world building stuff that would justify the Fearians being such a threat or the lack of defenses of planets. Maybe the Fearians’ curse affects the Necromongers ability to take souls or something similar to their hell.

[@TheDraken03]

I think the threat was more that the lord marshal was “destined” to be taken out by a furyian which leads to the mass slaughter of riddick’s people

[@sevenember3332]

It’s explained in the extended cut of the movie. There’s a prophecy that says a Furyan will be the downfall of the Necromonger leader, hence the attempted extermination

[@chachimendiola9042]

I love how you use memes in your videos, especially on this topic of Space marine XxX. Love these videos man

I have higher bone density (and tighter muscle density) and I can confirm that I sink like a rock if I'm not constantly, actively trying to keep myself afloat.

[@neondystopian]

Play Escape from Butcher's Bay if you want to know.

[@MetastaticMaladies]

I just beat Subnautica and I’m doing a second run, please cover the Warpers! They’re so interesting! Also, the different leviathans and the precursor race, or just the entire game. Love it so much. Also, love this take on Riddick and the physiology of furyans, need a new pitch black/Riddick video game.
