ayy

So glad that this Nerd is here to explain

Do chopping mall and dead snow ❄️ 2

I hope they are paying you at least 20 grand a video cause Raid Shadow Legend sucks and it feels terrible to see my fav youtuber promote it but at least I hope you get paid well, that will help you make better content and support you

@nerdexplains the movie rouge, about a autralian tour boat being attacked by a large crocodile had so many F ups it made me mad. Think you could fix their mistakes?

I was thinking before eating in you should at least try to clear whatever might be in there by scraping the inner edges with a long stick

Awesome trash tv pfp

yeah, tropical enviroments are home for black widows, they're lethal and most important, they're really small, one bite and you're dead

The good thing is, if you could figure out how, you might be able to use a venomous critter's venom to your advantage against the creature.

Tbf I rather die to a venomous bite then getting ripped to pieces by a merman

yes...no no

I remember seeing that when I watched this. He took the music/sounds and didn’t show the full scene, but it’s fucking TERRIFYING. That thing wasn’t watching her it was just coming to the surface so if she hadn’t done that at that EXACT moment she’d be dead.

@@bestibulizar6141 she blasted the flare at the perfect moment to see it before it really noticed her. If she had turned away a fraction of a second later it would have gone on the beach and torn her apart.

@@chewy99. Search your feelings. You must know it was plot armor all along

I really hate the people who always use plot armor as a conclusion. Like it's pretty lazy assumption as compared to the real world most extreme stuff that happened you would consider to be plot armor.

But it is also stupid, as previously established, so it probably would chalk it to silly prey digging, and move on. Also it probably sleeps during the day.

@@aguyontheinternet8436 never assume your enemy is stupid

@@kaiseremotion854 Yes, but we dont need to, as it was proven when he didn't grab her out of the open log

@@aguyontheinternet8436 maybe its just lazy? it kept going after easy prey most of the movie after all.

It was probably asserting dominance when it was scratching the log and scaring her, letting her know that if she ever fucks up or stops feeding it she’s next on the menu. I could be wrong though

That sounds horrible. And effective.

@retsaM innavoiG pocket glass!

@retsaM innavoiG Glass basically acts like sand after it has lost all the sharp edges, for example being in water for years. But throwing sand would be irritating at most, while newly grinded glass shards actually can hurt and be more than a mild inconvenience. So go with the coke bottles, not the beach sand!

@@Moldylocks So glass is made of sand! But also a kind of ash I can't remember and sometimes limestone? I wonder if the process of melting down the materials into glass makes the ground down particles that much more sharp.

I would without a doubt throw it on myself by accident.

To be fair, she does say that she doesn’t know shit XD

Well the first rule when you are lost is to try to stay in the same spot. It makes finding you easier.

​​​@@Shay45 I feel like a dangerous predator living nearby definitely qualifies as a valid exception to that rule.

Bro why tf do I see your comments everywhere Jesus you and me watch the same videos I guess

@@FeralFox1 he has a unbelievable high comment score

Well not really, The average human can survive 3 weeks without food and in my opinion its way longer than that if you have a good amount of fat stores on you, You would just need to get water and you can get some calories from coconut , veggies on the island , ect

You could cook coconut meat which is somewhat sustainable as well as we can see on the island there is birds. Eating seagull and parrot for dinner isn’t too bad.

Actually you were right, a couple people who had seen the movie commented that she was trying to get more information about the creature

that is quite literally what she was doing lmao

@@grindyussy_9326 Yeah, everyone interprets things differently, though I'm pretty sure the intent of the scene was to show us her trying to learn. I think Nerd just interpreted it differently, but it is an interesting interpretation. It's interesting to see how different minds work and perceive a situation. Two people can be given the exact same information and experience, yet view it from two completely different mindsets. I just like to keep an open mind and view other ideas and thoughts because it helps me personally learn and grow as a person and become (I hope) better.

@@redwood8816 she was literally trying to see what was hunting her or if she was even being hunted, it's nothing to do with how you interpret it

@@grindyussy_9326 I agree with you. Honestly it's been a while since I watched the movie so I can't remember the exact scene or the lead up, I'm just trying to be nice and see Nerds perspective and trying to figure out how he came to his conclusion.

Large caimans font exist. Caimans are literally the small croc species

@@Its_Me_Romano I'll have to take your word. As I don't know personally. But after a quick google search. They say some Caimans can grow to 16ft+. But regardless. The point I was making was that a Large Caiman would be more believeable than a sea creature.

@@matthewsmith2298 caimans are fresh water crocodilians from south america, they’re in the south pacific, she should be saying there’s saltwater crocodiles

@@nathan.w9906 Good to know

@@Its_Me_Romano neither do mermen. I know which one id be quicker to believe in tho

Came here to say this!

@@minkmunkler any time :)

that was my thoughts as well. why make it easier to hunt you when for all we know he can't stay on land that long 🤔 so being in the forest makes the most sense plus plenty of space for traps.

I mean the thing hunts her down regardless, but she still should have at least attempted this sooner in the movie.

I mean, maybe build your camp a lil further away from the killer mermans habitat. Obviously gonna keep chancing it, coming and checking your camp every night if it only takes 30 seconds.

Yes, I agree. Plus the friends had been stranded in the middle of the ocean without being bothered by any “sea” creature, so they would less likely to believe that there was a sea creature *on an island* Instead, they would blame loneliness, grief, and heavy stress for her nonsensical “hallucination”

You are right but the plot demands it.

Saying the monster was a Saltwater Crocodile would be a very good "explanation" because not only are you already telling your friends that the predator is aquatic but that it's notoriously dangerous and needs to be taken seriously.

Yeah, it'd be better to say there's a humongous fish, maybe a great white shark, was in the waters and that it isn't afraid to crawl onto land for food.

I think if it takes days to months to walk around an island, then it wouldn’t be uninhabited.

@@oliverm7138 The UK isn't uninhabited?

@@oliverm7138 You misread Nan's comment - they said "it wouldn't be UNinhabited"

@@oliverm7138 Reading comprehension moment

@@1219nan That’s true, but even if it took 2 days it would be too much to do first things first after being stranded. Also there are islands that are basically just thin deposits of sand above sea levels and thus useless to beguiled any5hing permanent nowadays or! She could have landed on a protected island! The ones I know are relatively small but I don’t know much about Pacific islands so..

They shouldn't have shown how the monster cause it looks fucking goofy You can't beat the fear of unknown and showing it will just make it worse no matter how good the CGI is

@@gorkemaykut5230 agreed, the outline in the ocean was creepy AF. They should have just left it there.

@@gorkemaykut5230 while I understand the sentiment, I feel in the alternate universe where the movie was shot that way, you’d end up with everybody complaining that the entire movie was just nonsensical close-up reaction shots of the actors flailing at something off screen. For me, this story has too many moments of the character directly interacting with the creature to really pull full lovecraft style visual storytelling with not showing the beast. And I really don’t think this story is really aims to lean into lovecraft elements, more so just use them to heighten the human vs nature tale it’s telling

@@DoctorCVC yeah but you miss a very crucial part here Merman looks fucking goofy It's hard to take it seriously when the thing you must be afraid of is not scary

@@gorkemaykut5230 I actually thought it looked fine. Like not the most top tier monster design of all time, but I hardly thought it was terrible. Not every monster design is a 10/10, but something that’s not a 10/10 isn’t automatically a 0/10, it’s fine just to be a 7.

Nah, it was a mercy kill. Even if she hadn't done that. He would have died from infection, shock, or the creature grabbing him cause he was too weak to fight back.

Yeah! Did the same thing here lol

im currently in the process on day 1 lmao

Join the club lol

Same

That summarizes my life at this point

Yeah but I doubt it'd be easy to rip out a shark's teeth without doing more damage to yourself. Though it is strange he didn't mention eating the shark, that's good food right there, no fishing or foraging required.

@@kitsu1379 you could also just use the rock or a stick to dig out around the teeth and pry them out, and sharks are a pretty good source of food too.

@@Fungaly This is true, however we saw with the coconut how bad this girl was with sharp rocks. You're right though, small, serrated teeth could be used either to help with cooking, you could use them to scale and cut the fish easier, considering that's basically what they were designed for, or if you were more engineeringly minded, could use them to fashion some kind of small weapon.

I expected nothing less out of a comment from a man with such a wonderful name and PFP

That scene from Bone Tomahawk still gets to me.

Never heard of Bone Tomahawk, but Drom Dusk Til Dawn would be awesome!

@@feathero3 Well if you decide to watch it, be prepared for that ONE scene

@@feathero3 if you're a fan of Westerns and Horror, I absolutely, 100%, without a shred of doubt recommend you watch Bone Tomahawk!! Stars Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Richard Jenkins, and Matthew Fox as the 4 main characters. Their little posse is after a small "tribe" of BIG-ass, hulking, scary-ass, cannibalistic Troglodytes who abducted some people from their town! It is a relatively long (at 2hr12min runtime) and slow-burning film but, I PROMISE, if you stick with it, you will NOT be disappointed! The classic "rescue mission" story obviously isn't a new concept but it's done in a very unique way! The characters are SMART and make good decisions. There's an unbearable tension/feeling of dread over the whole film and when s**t finally hits the fan... It's horrifying! Great acting, great cinematography, and incredible, PRACTICAL effects that will stick with you for LIFE! Aslo... If you're going to watch Bone Tomahawk, DO NOT read up about! Go in as "cold" as you can! Disclaimer: it's also not for the squeamish or feint of heart! It's definitely NOT loaded with gratuitous, shock-value, torture-porn but it's got a few absolutely horrific moments

Once the plane intervals are confirmed, Burn the whole island.

I say nerves and stress were probably getting to her. Being hunted by a giant merman every night probably doesn't do wonders for the psyche.

@@seasnaill2589 "Ah, the salmon is coming to me. I'm feeling ravenous."

Funny thing is the open ocean is more dangerous than the island even WITHOUT the monster. Dehydration, sunburn, starvation, predators like sharks. You’d be dead or close to death by the time someone found you.

Considering that waiting around a fire, day in day out, is basically just screaming "Dinner Time!" for the Monster, taking your chances on the open ocean are no less deadly.

agreed oh my goodness

Lol I just really don’t like em. I’d probably drink from it if I was thirsty enough though

@@chewy99. id drink it but then go into anaphylactic shock and not be able to breath in 5 mins 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 no winning here

It might be harder but you could still, possibly make it. Water would be harder to source but if you go inland you might be able to find a source of fresh water, admittedly you'd need to sterilize it before drinking but you'd still be able to drink it. Also if coconuts grow there, you got a decent chance of other similar conditions fruits like mango and such. You could also find roots, tubers, edible vegetation or even fungi if you know what you were looking for, though that's unlikely. We also see no sign of what inland wildlife there was before the girl burned the play to the ground, there could be snakes or even small mammals like rats or the like. Not to mention the birds and, if you wanted to stay by the coast, the fish. A coconut allergy would make getting water harder sure, but no impossible, and it wouldn't really effect you from a finding food standpoint.

Black noir.

@@bigbanktakelilbankLABIH I can't tell if your edgy or philosophical or stupid pls decide on one .

you can get away with not doing it and cooking it longer, but learn how to break a dead animal into cuts you find at the store is always a good thing

"Knife goes in, guts come out."

@@feathero3 I actually learned it two ways one in marine biology class and the other by going fishing once or twice, sometimes hard to guy a fish you gotta be careful but thankful I took the marine biology class I learned how to dissect a fish, squid, octopus, starfish, and even a shark!

this has a small chance of working but if it does you could probably live on that island for weeks

If you can get to to like cooked food and build a potentially mutually beneficial relationship then you might not even need to be the one who does the catching, since it can catch prey WAY easier then you. However, seeing the pictures of it following the family and the dead bodies, as well as what happened to the buried dead guy, we know it likes people meet. What we don't know is if that's a preference of if it's simply a creature that eats whatever it can get hold of most easily since it did seem to just eat what was left for it when honestly human girl (I've already forgotten her name) would be a bigger meal. Maybe it's not actually a full time predator, but more of an opportunist and it only took to hunting the humans because we lack SO MANY natural defences that most prey species have. It means looking at humans, we're easy pickings if the fish man isn't intelligent. Unfortunately there is too many variables. To test this, when the dead guy washed up, it might have actually been good to put him up and a shark, see when presented with two options, which one it more naturally gravitates too and if it leaves once full or if it just eats everything it can. If it eats its full then leaves, after a few nights watching it do this, if we assume we can convince it we're friendly like you were saying, the safest time to come up to it would be after it's eaten, still present the food, but also keep your weapon ready, let it know that its got a choice, food or pain. Now all this goes out the window if, when presented with choice of shark or human, it prefers human because it's going to eat you but it's an option if the creature has some rudimental intelligence and is able to grasp the idea of not eating you and you feed it. And no, it doing this in the movie is not proof. As I said, it could simply be eating the easiest to claim meal rather then wasting it's energy hunting something it might not find that night. The easy meal is something a lot of animals prefer. It eating and leaving could simply be it eating its fill and therefore not needing to expending energy hunting the girl and so going back to it's home to do whatever it does there, spawning maybe? I dunno. The movie doesn't make it clear the level of intelligence this creature has, I'd probably say it's on the more animal side since it attacked the log when the girl hid there and didn't seem to understand it could just go into the opening to grab her and when hunting it, it didn't try to trick her or trap her, it just chased her down.

I see you're a fan of cohabitation.

very unlikely, the creature as said by Nerd is simply too stupid, to properly understand rationing and long-term food/cohabitation with a producer. the creature in over 87% of the time would just gobble you up with the food you offered and go about it's day.

@@KrakenWind my point is that in a situation I'm trapped on an island, I have very little chance to survive as I don't have many skills necessary for it, even less with an unknown species of predator. So I'd prefer to take my chances at friendship to lessen the burden on myself. Than the near 100% chance of dying to it, dehydration, starvation, infection, animal or insect venom. It's unlikely sure, but it could save my life on the off chance it does work.

well Brad i can confidently say you will survive right up until the end of your own movie.

Brown coconut also tastes like wood-with-a-hint-of-piss flavored jizz, which yes, taste may not he the biggest priority surviving on an island, but seriously fuck ripe coconut juice

@@Gg-nj2yf that’s so fucking stupid. Sweetheart sounds like the name of a high school chick flick.

@@Gg-nj2yf true but still a pretty bad title for the movie, if they had focused more on her resorting to more and more messed up things to survive then I could see sweet heart as like an intentional parallel to the descent she goes through to survive.

What is a sentinel island?

@@ketamineheadyoda2248 I guess they never miss, huh?

That's an even bigger problem...now the beats cant go in the water and is stuck on the land WITH you

She has matches only eight but if she keeps a fire going she can stretch them out a long time

Same thing with getting food. There's no way in hell someone could fish with a wooden spear let alone get a whole shark within their first few days and zero survival experience.

Id point out that a fire is critical on an island as they tend to get very cold at night. You could effectively get sick from being too cold and die that way. Fires are always one of the first things you try to get going. Also why you use glass/matches. Bowdrill is going to be the hardest but you can do it from scratch. Having glass/matches certainly helps. Glass for catching the suns rays and starting a fire that way

Mapping out the entire island is a dumb idea to an extent, if an island is too big, give up and focus on survival

I don't think they did. I think the last person fought the beast and lost. Thus their body was eaten/taken into the abyssal hole.

Lol true I would’ve said there was a huge nocturnal alligator or crocodile that was really dangerous

RIGHT?! Also, on the reverse, people in horror movie are SO quick to call others crazy. Like? How often have you met and interacted with a genuinely crazy person? Or someone who was having hallucinations or smth? Why is this your first go to thought when you don’t understand something. Also, even if you don’t believe them if your friend is in distress, help them!

If they actually spoke coherently there'd be less DUH-RAAAAMAAAAA

yeah, I only watch NE even though I love the how to survive format, the rest are either touting survival methods way out of touch with reality or are simply summarizing movies

The only videos I don't like are the ones where the movie itself isn't very good in my eyes. Like the one with the thief locked in the modified car. The videos was still as good as any other, but I just lost a bit of interest.

@@omikron6218 I thought the movie was okay and I loved the premise.

@@omikron6218 I agree. When the movie isn't very interesting, the "how to survive" can end up not very interesting as an unfortunate side effect.

I would definitely add rocks to the spears to give it extra weight when stabbing it downwards.

@@wi4305 that is a good idea, yeah. Maybe even just having a big rock or two to throw down there if it’s impaled but not dead would be a good idea too.

@@athatcher9367 Might as well add your own poop to it so if it does escape the poop can lead to an infection.

@@wi4305 maybe, but I also might need to eat it. If I know it’s that dangerous then I’d probably go for that anyways though, just out of fear of risking it getting away.

Is that a WOW reference?

The monster is kinda-

Id argue makeshift armor being impractical in that it would both take too much time and resources but also its durability would be crap. Maybe like a chest piece and kneepads but full suit of armor is implausible. That and armor is noisy so stealth would be out of the equation.
