Which is awesome. I remember when the movie came out and it was a different take on aliens and the heros. I'm glad they made the third one because the second wasn't up to par.

Yeah it was. I remember working at Blockbuster when Pitch Black came out on home video and we couldn’t keep it in stock. It was this unknown movie and I was just shocked at how customers responded to it. This was one of the rare instances where I watched something purely on how popular the rental was. It was the definition of a sleeper hit.

just like John wick and rambo

Pitch Black was so good I saw it in the movie theater 3 or 4 times

Pitch black was kind of riddick first movie

Same. Also have you seen the directors cut for Riddick adds more Myth to the story and you find out Vako is honorable and not a liar, aside from trying to kill the Lord Marshal lol

He owns the rights to the role. He's been quoted as saying it's his favorite character

Wait fr? They're coming out with another Riddick!??!?

As long as they don't mess it up like they did blade

@@kailahsanner7098 No freaking way! I need to look into this holy hell...

“Get a load of this guy, fish”

I prefer to thank Vin Diesel as he is the one who got noticed because he did Multi-Facial on his own.

There’s another coming? When?

I always figured he told a cool story to a kid to give them a sense of wonder. He probably never thought she would go looking for a doctor to perform the "surgery." I always just figured he was actually born with them so I didn't even know it was a retcon.

In the game escape from butcher Bay, it shows how Riddick got his eye shine, unless the game isn't canon but it does explain there

@Nick K it could have been that. Though, when Kiera and Riddick are reunited on Crematoria, she states that she couldn't find a doctor, even for 20 menthol kools, so it seems like a retcon to me. Honestly I shouldn't be this invested in it

you mean this? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLGDhLWLqZyrc4U.html

@Tyrell Thiel She believed the lie he told when she was a kid. That just seemed like the natural progression of things to me. Add on the big cats at the prison that have naturally occurring shine to their eyes and it had me thinking those cats must be from Furya.

I'd like to see that fight between Junner and Riddick in live action

Because most don’t know about it! and maybe because it was animated?

Oddly enough it's the one sci-fi franchise that you can't find a lot of lore on, there are no dedicated KZfaq channels as far as I know for instance. I would know I've looked at some point but that was probably a year or two ago.

I could see the Predators accepting Riddick to help with a xenomorph hunt.

@@tektrixter *given the predators weaponry in the hands of Riddick that would be interesting but seeing the predators reaction to his techniques would be more impressive*

@@DeathBYDesign666 cause the lore is tacked on and pretty sub par imo, very cliche.

Riddick vs. Predator would be freaking amazing.

The way it ends is great too. Him sitting on the throne, just exhausted. Wasn't even thinking of the repercussions of killing the leader of the necromongers, he just had to kill him. Then they all kneel down to him and the shot pans out. Was sickkk Would love to see him forcing his army to clean up the mess they made all through the galaxy and help people rebuild their destroyed planets and shit lmao

I heavily agree!

That doesn't make sense as he met another Furian is the second film. His eyes didn't shine

@@doms.6701 perhaps because he was older and received the training as a toddler.

That is a great point. I'll go with this one.

yeah ... no if he had that nictating membrane he would've figured it out already plus I think it's more of a reflex than anything (kinda your irises retract and expand with light variations) edit: also Escape from Butcher Bay made it clear it is not that

In CoR, the Fire Beast in the prison there is a nod to the surgery. It has the same eyes as him. Kind of, "if he got the surgery, it would be a transplant from this animal" kind of thing.

I always liked the idea that when mankind went to space they branched off into separate species from having to evolve on different planets. They need to flesh out the universe a little more. More planets and different offshoots of humanity

I forget where I read it, but the surgery (supposedly) is akin to cataract removal, where they slice the top layer of the outer cornea and inject a highly reflective substance behind his pupils. I could be wrong, it's been a long time since I've done any kind of research on riddick

@@hellhound1389 You mean different subspecies. They are all humans, but different supspecies of the humans.

Pitch black and butcher bay were so good.... The sequel movies were so bad.

Yeah I don't have anything against Vin diesel at all but I just don't hear him doing batman right.

Nope there can be no replacement for The Batman

I am vengeance I am fear I AM GROOT haha

The deep gravelly voice, the way he’s soft spoken but it’s still hard (pause). I can see it. But could he be Bruce?

@@harlanotto8247: I said ‘successor’ not ‘replacement.’ Kevin Conroy will forever be LEGENDARY, but his gone now, and someone needs to keep immortalizing the Batman, and I believe Vin Diesel has the potential to live up to the name.

I thought you said it was clear! No I said it looks clear . How does it look now? Looks clear

Legit. It’s in the game lol

that got retconned in the next game.

For a pack of kools I believe it's been 10+ years

Fun fact: all humans have the ability to see in inferred however there’s a “film” in the eyes that prevents it. His surgery was likely just the removal of said film.

It was retconned that Alpha Furians had those eyes.

Wrong

Where did this explanation come from?

there is no correction lmao the narrator clearly explains that in the video. Watch the video 1st then make a comment

The telepathic connection didn't happen until long after Riddick already had his eyeshine, so your timeline doesn't add up..

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're delusional AF!

Thanks for explaining it in 15 seconds instead of 15 minutes.

Riddick has his eyeshine because he is an Alpha Furyan and that is also why he is so strong. This is all canon. The films retconned the game.

@@wiseguy01 Then explain why in the second Riddick film the other of his people who had been converted into a Necromonger (the one that got crisped in the sun) did not have eyeshine? I must disagree because the game is Canon. Riddick had the operation performed in the prison Buthers Bay. Vin Diesel & many others involved in Pitch Black were involved in the games design. Vin Diesel even did all the voice overs for the Riddick avatar. If you are a Riddick fan suggest you play it. But you would need an older console.

@@wiseguy01 Also in Pitch Black Riddick tells the girl Jack he had it done whilst in prison if you recall

​@@damiensteiner9919 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 but the films retconned the games 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.

Yer name? haha!

Yep, that’s what was explained in the the movie.

That explanation could have been just a lie he told them for fun. The likelihood of being a lie is the same as the one being the truth.

@@marilynman it's what happens in the game. no eye shine until you get it done. the game was also called chronicles of riddick and if my memory serves me well, was made in parrallel to the movie of the same name to serve as a prequel....it was made by vin diesels game studio and vin diesel was a producer on the film. it's an awful lot of effort to go to to make that non-canon

@@marilynman But its not and his explanation is fact so your comment is pointless.

@@Hooligoon78 Maybe you should backup your statements instead of disregarding other's without explaining why and stop being an asshole, yes?

Same Sheldon.

Haha I know( barely)a gal with that same name haha why i remember it idk ? ...she spelled it differently than Berry though haha, I always remembered thinking how odd it was spelled. Why? I remember it , and why u choose a name idk? why I remember Is unknown? haha. But yeah back to that haha , I saw 1 on cable tv haha, and loved it! honestly didn't know it was a series until now haha I should get out more I guess haha.

oh hey i know that name... Baldurs Gate 2 ? :)

Haha neat comment and name haha.

Yeah probably hard for him to just go up to people and relate to others it's so different haha.

Yeah it took me forever to realize that haha.

Guess I gotta see it.

Or maybe I did 🤔
