​@@FallenRingbearer Domesticated is a stretch. Those furbies were definitely plotting your death.

[@TheKrispyfort]

This might be why I have never liked Furbies. My subconscious could only see krites

[@AncestorEmpire1]

And their only dialogue was simple: “FUCK!”- a Crit when seeing his fellow Crit getting blown up.

They speak many times actually but that really was the best interaction. “They have weapons!” “So what??” *BLAM!* “FUCK!” *Runs away*

[@importedglue891]

They also say “who are you” in one of the movies bc they see an ET doll implying Asogianas are a living species in the Critter universe and in turn it’s tied to rhe star wars universe as well.

No joke, it was so weird pretty sure I say a Hammer Horror film* before Critters, but Critters gave me nightmares around the same age. *Late eighties, most horror wasn't any scarier than dark fantasy.

[@SergioLeonardoCornejo]

I remember watching it when I was 4 or 5 and thinking the critters were cool and adorable. I didn't even see them as necessarily evil.

[@TypeZeta2]

Critters was such a weird movie to me and I could’ve swore it was a fever dream when I originally watched it. Also I turned 30 today Roanoke.

No matter how hungry they are or how many, man’s answer to animals bigger and stronger than us will always be able to take them out. Humanity #1

[@TheShadowguy64]

You know what I like most about Critters, as a species? Over four movies (that I have seen) they never stop being scary. No matter how silly they act they never stop being dangerous. You never get the feeling in later movies that a regular person would be able to take them on, like with some other monsters.

[@jacobfreeman5444]

True. They are intelligent, predatory, aggressive, and know how to leverage all of that. So the hijinks just makes them scarier. You know this thing is sentient and sapient, and it chooses to see you as cattle

[@moneytalk1170]

[@giuseppe9653]

"Roanoke is stored in the balls" I spat my drink all over the table

[@ikenosis8160]

I absolutely love the Krites. They're obviously extremely intelligent, capable of prison breaking, ship navigation, and advanced language, but they still know the good time of eating flesh off the bone. Bless them.

[@Burninator353]

I love em too. They aren't morally gray villains with tormented souls and troubled pasts. Just a bunch of hungy lads living their best life.

[@ikenosis8160]

@@Burninator353 Totally agree. It seems they absolutely love being Krites regardless of what other creatures feel about it. Hahahah! Great characters.

[@Wolfshalifi]

I would like to see a fight between these critters and gremlins, they should make a franchise where they bring them together like aliens vs predators

[@Wolfshalifi]

My money is on the gremlins

[@Necrowolf81]

Might as well add ghoulies, munchies and hobgoblins to the mix lol

[@blackc1479]

Gremlins. While not predatory per se, they would totally outbreed the critters, and probably find all kinds of sadistic ways to kill em. Something I've always wondered about gremlins: would other water based liquids have the same effect? Blood? And why didn't snow make em multiply?

[@kaysmith8992]

​@blackc1479 maybe their skin senses that snow means a harder environment for their 'children' to grow, so not the right time to reproduce. Re. Critters vs Gremlins, one thing the Critters really have up their sleeve is speed and the ability to grow huge (in Critters 1 only). I'm not saying they would actually beat the Gremlins, but they would keep the battle going for some time.

KZbin needs to support content like this. It's fully covered under fair use! If KZbin was smart they would realize if they supported this type of content, they could be unstoppable & no other platform could even come close to competing with them. Yet they continue to make ridiculous requirements, being up tight if difficult topics get covered, even when it's informative content & follows guidelines. This content should be supported. Fair use covers a lot of quality made content. They run things like they expect everything to be kids content. Even tho they have a separate app for KZbin kids. I don't understand how KZbin doesn't see the huge fan base around content for grown ups. If they supported things a bit better, they would have so much more success. Hopefully they wake up to this someday.
