I like to think that the Volantian necromorphs aren't scary to us because of unfamiliarity. But a Volantian would found them horrifying.

It's weird how much we can figure out about the Brethren Moons' personality based on the way they torture the species they farm. Like, why be pointlessly cruel just because you can? Well, because they enjoy it obviously.

One of many reasons why you should always save a round for yourself.

What's truly horrific is that we can't start with the feet..

Something pointing to the wall guardian being conscious is the noise. Rather, the tone of the noise, I mean. Other necromorphs can “yell” but it’s more of a half baked roar mixed with a wet gurgle which makes sense since the vocal cords aren’t really important outside of maybe terrorizing prey. The yell and scream of a wall guardian is a distinctly human sound.

The Dead Space lore has a very dark take on the Fermi paradox, really paraphrasing Serrano from Dead Space 3, the galaxy is a 100K light-year graveyard of civilizations destroyed by the Brethren Moons, and any nascent civilization out there would be blissfully unaware of the dangers till they discovered their own Markers in the distant future. Speaking of which 4:27, Michael Altman stopped an outbreak on Earth and it cost him his life.

The theory of Brethren Moons forcing punishment onto resisting humans is super similar to "All Tomorrows", and that really gives me the chills.

This has such a similar vibe to the Sewers in Dead Island 2. The Army melts down the zombies, and the body mass has congealed in the ground and the walls and *is still alive*

I always thought the end goal of the bretheren moons was the same as the necromorphs. Acumulate and gather mass. I imagined when there was enough of the bretheren moons in existence, then they'd probably gather together into bretheren suns, aiming to become bretheren galaxy's and so on. Bretheren Universe, baby.

Reconstituting fallen lifeforms is one thing, but for the brethren moons to do it while they’re still alive definitely violates an intergalactic Geneva convention. You know, if any species lived long enough to form one…

I love how violently pro-human Roanoke is.

I always thought that the wall necro was an attempt to take advantage of those who would want to help or to take advantage of the advanced darkness to catch those who would confuse them for a normal person.

I think the wall guardians have a form of locked in syndrome. They are able to see what's going on and process it, but unable to move and deal with what's going on. That's what I think

Please do a video on how much tech a person can replace their body with before the brain rejects it. Like the Adeptus Mechanicus 40k, robo cop, or cyberpunk.

I have a theory that in reality the mind would break and become delirious. Unless the corruption somehow kept the mind sane I’d find it hard to a human brain to not short circuit and either seize or become deranged

Dead Space was the main reason I started watching your channel so I'm glad that you're able to STILL put out Dead Space content. So came for the nightmarish game content, stayed for the humor and horror film science.

Roanoke makes me feel whole with each dead space video

I do think they are still conscious. I remember I'd try to take em out as soon as I could because it was just dreadful to hear/see them in so much pain. I think the moment that I flashed the Plasma cutter Lights onto one and I saw it react immediately the horror clicked to me. :( What an amazing game/story Dead Space is. ✨💖

On the topic of closing one eye when it comes to bright lights, I've noticed that my right eye (which is my dominant eye) is better at seeing in average to high light levels, whereas my left eye is better at seeing in lower light levels. When waking in the night I always use my left when the lights are out while going to either to the restroom or kitchen, switch eyes, turn on the light, do what needs to be done, turn out the light, then switch my eyes again. Since starting this I have had less collisions with walls/tables than when I tried using both eyes to see in the dark. The human body is a strange machine.

I love this channel. That "Your spine decides if you pull away" nugget of info was really fascinating. Like...I'm still basking in how cool that is!

Well as a fan of the DS series, I’m quite content with your vids! Thank you for producing them!

Loving how consistent this channel is. It's quickly became my favorite.

You should look at the Reapers in Mass Effect. The Reaper tech as a whole is like a Marker. It is explained by Mass Effect 3 why. Reapers take races they processed abilities and the first they conquered was ones with mind control or "thrawed" So they ended with that ability first and used it on other races.

14:12 "There are no feet to examine" (Roanoke ends video)

The fact that the wall guardians might still be able to feel what's going on is terrifying to me

"Screaming and still conscious" sounds like when I worked at McDonald's.

13:43 - The moment from the Predators: The movie. Where we see sadistic Super Predator subspecies actively doing that exact psychological and literal torture method! Geneva convention never signed with any alien species that we know of!

This is probably wrong or obsolete. But the person may have been left alive and alert to act as an alarm system for the wall/proto guardian. They don't scream till they see you, and then the attack starts. So not only is it a psychological attack but an alert system to spring an attack? At the very least to alert any other possible necros in the area that you're there. This is probably wrong but just a thought.

Another dead space he can’t keep getting away with it

I just wish there was a data log showing a scientist running tests on both forms of the wall guardian, and what they found. I'd be interested to know if there was some kind of way to communicate with the first form, as the upper body is mostly intact. Definitely a scary thought that the host would be at least somewhat aware of what they're going through.

God I love this game series. Been playing it since 2012 myself and I've been watching your videos for the past 5 years or so. I'm SO glad this series got revived with the Remake and I hope DS2 and DS3 get successful remakes as well, eventually deliverung us a DS4 🙏

It's always a good day when Roanoke uploads. Glad these updated videos are coming out with the new lore.

Went back and watched most, if not all, of your Dead Space videos. Really enjoy how you show how these things could be grounded in reality.

I love the revamped dead space vids, it's so cool to see how much you've changed and grown over the years. And I mean cmon its Dead Space who doesn't love this franchise

Absolutely love your videos, man! Always fun when you come back to Dead Space topics :D

Six minutes and almost 5k likes? Jesus man the channel has come a long way over the years and I’m here for it! Congratulations!

Just a recommendation: Check out All Tomorrows! It’s written as speculative biology, and the idea is that a hostile alien race called the Qu genetically altered humanity into multiple different forms, it’s really quite fascinating and I’d love your take on it even though it’s not as extensive as say, Dead Space

That is… so much worse than I previously thought ☠️ Awesome video, great work!

I was playing the remake again just last week and I don't know why I thought they had removed their insta kill and I got too close. Scared the absolute hell out of me

With the wall guardian i always asked, would it attack other necros when they get too close? But then again i remember its a hive-mind so probably not.

Appreciate these videos as always man! Always love to learn more about these things. Hope youre doing well!

@TheBritishRunner also had a theory about the Wall Guardians' screams being a bait tactic. He just posted a video this week where he talks about it being one of the scariest Necromorphs since his theory is a full sized guardian is the result of suckering in anyone who tries to save the person trapped in the wall, and making them a part of its biomass.

Nice, we are pleased to see you again discussing the deadist of the space.

Dead Space videos are how I found this channel, I'm always stoked to see a new one in my feed!

Yyyyyeeess. Your dead space are downright unbeatable Roanoke! Love it. Keep being you!

I know I've said this before. I love how you and channels like yours add some real-world biology and psychology to movies and games. It really adds extra depth to something that, although is well designed and evocative, could still be taken at face value,

Looking back through the channel and I'm surprised that you haven't covered the aliens from Edge of Tommorrow. I think it would be a decent video idea.

The similarities between the Brethren Moons and the Reapers from Mass Effect continue to grow

Love the work you do man.... thank you for doing you... hope your and yours are all good man.... and look forward to the next episode

Roanoke you are a master at applying logic to the illogical , especially when it comes to dead space, so I would like your opinion on these theories I have about dead space to see if they are plausible These are some theories I have had about the dead space universe based upon pre-existing lore 1. the black marker manipulated humanity to create unitology and suppress knowledge about the moon’s plan. Altman spread the information about the marker easily when the government probably would keep a close eye on him but when he attempts to spread word about the necromorphs the government offs him and uses his research to make more markers and his death starts unitology, sounds suspicious right, well it gets weirder. When the scaf scientists discover the true nature of the markers and a machine that can stop it do they use it? NO, they kill themselves and all research on the markers, BUT LEAVE THE MARKERS INTACT?! This suggests that the moons not only try to make a species create more markers but actively suppress any knowledge about the moon’s true plans and this is how I think they do it. When the black marker lands on a planet it will begin manipulating the dna of current species till one develops a brain that is an ideal transmitter and receiver of the marker signal. When this species discovers the black marker it will transmit a different signal, one that will spread from brain to brain, that will inspire a religious movement, in mankind’s case unitology, that will spread the word of the markers plan and desensitize the population to the markers methods and act as antibodies destroying any being that would threaten convergence and the birth of a new brethren moon. And when the red marker is complete they are turned from a simple cult to genocidal maniacs creating bodies for the necromorphs. The moons also turned mankind into a space faring race in order to unfreeze the tau volantis moon, which also explains man kind’s unusual interest in exploring the stars when we haven’t even finished exploring our own planet. 2. The marker chooses specific necromorphs to perform specific functions in the brethren moons. Enhanced necromorphs form the muscle and less vital tissue thus they become stronger but can’t regenerate. Regenerators, ubermorphs, and the hunter would serve as the nervous tissue and the brain. This is why you never see enhanced regenerators on tau volantis, you can’t have both at once. 3. Necromorphs reuse forms from old species that are highly efficient such as the tau-volantians laying the basis for the brute and the nexus being used as a template for the hive mind and you even reference this in the slasher video and mentioning how a quadrapeadle template has been forced onto the human body. Other necromorph forms are partially used to create new ones such as the snow beast’s form and mindset used to create the tripod and tormentor necromorphs 4. Why did the hive mind on aegis 7 not keep growing into a moon when the corruption could keep growing as long as it is supplied marker energy? I believe that the extra mass the corruption gains is transferred from other brethren moons in the form of energy (Mc^2 = E = Mc^2) thus they are only willing to expend a certain amount of mass to create a new brethren moon, which also explains why the scaf members on tau volantis could not start another convergence event and it explains why they are trying to unfreeze that moon to prevent the loss of resources. 5. A convergence event does not guarantee a successful brethren moon. picture, if you will, two nests each with it’s own chic one is fed constantly and is allowed to grow to adulthood while the other is left to starve (sorry for the messed up analogy). If a brethren moon was formed in either dead space 1 or 2 they most likely would have used up all the organic matter to build it’s body leaving nothing to eat where as a brethren moon formed on a planet with a full population will have remaining biomatter to feed upon to build up “fat stores” thus allowing it to hibernate until another species can be harvested. This explains why some of the scaf members on tau volantis became feeder necromorphs to turn biological matter into energy to feed the incomplete moon. The following are theories and questions that, while not having any lore backing them, I believe make sense 1. Are the moons basically a cosmoscopic scale of macroscopic life, in the terms of all life forms exist to eat, reproduce and survive? 2. Are black markers made from enhanced necromorph biomatter from the brethren moons? 4. Was mars an infected world? 5. Are the moons basically the beta from muv-luv, resource harvesters that are no longer receiving orders? 6. Humans that have died and come back talking about the afterlife were actually connecting to the marker? 7. Are the accounts of zombies just accidentally created fodder necromorphs? 9. Instead of the marker signal preventing decay, does any microbe that would break down bodies join team necromorph by the marker signal? 10. The moons manipulate humans to create air vents to allow easy access for the necromorphs, otherwise why does everyone use vents big enough for people to fit inside of everywhere even in an insane asylum? 11. Are Cancer cells in-fact cells that have partially switched to the marker energy metabolism which is why they are so hard to destroy and can survive outside the human body? 12. Do the brethren moons find entirely fresh planets or do they deposit a small amount of biological material onto planets with the right growing conditions and send the marker after complex life develops ? 13. Does the marker signal suppress the growth of plants and mycelium? 14. Does the red marker have a specific range? 15. Why did the red marker not start convergence until it was placed on it’s pedestal instead of the moment issac landed on aegiss VII? 16. Has Issac gained abilities from destroying markers and constantly being exposed to the marker signal, like Jarrod from skyline? 17. Were the tau-volantians further along in their evolution than man kind was, thus giving them less time to be effected by the marker signal, thus allowing them the mental resistance to start a “rebellion” and freeze the moon in place? 18. Do the brethren moons choose specific individuals to carefully manipulate into helping with their plans, examples of which include mercer, tiedemann, and Jacob for those that would help the marker’s plans and mathius, stross, and Norton for those who would Sabotage the plans of those who would fight the marker 19. Do the brains of the people who create the area of influence the negates the marker’s effect , transmit an inverted marker signal from their brain thus causing destructive interference with the original signal? 20. Why does the corruption not grow ON the marker, just around it? 21. If the regenerator left the range of the marker signal and reverted to the genetic sludge, would it regrow into a regenerator when reintroduced to the marker signal or would it grow into new necromorphs?

It was probably the tau volantians freezing that one brethren moon that gave humanity enough time to become "overcooked" as you put it lol.

Make us whole, Roanoke.

The moons already knew where earth was. They were slowing the immediate threats of Issac and carver.

Roanoke been dropping flames back to back lately.

roanoke i can hear you talk about cells all day brother, i love biology and your endeavor to explain and inform us of such processes, thank you for public service.

I love these dead space videos! Please upload more! Honestly they are so good!!!!!

I have a mouth and I must scream. 😂

Wake up Isaac, new roanoke dropped

Nice job doing a relook at this classic necromorph horror Roanoke. GG on your part. Love how u got to analyze the pods much better this time too. Also absolutely love how the DS remake actually makes the corruption actually look like flesh, gore, & actual remains. Unlike in the original games where it was kinda just a fleshy pinkish red or puke brown paste.

Could you imagine a completely remade Dead Space series, with a Fourth new game at the end, where you fight the brother moons more directly

The idea of the “internet” or “electricity” is a living entity like dead space is too tempting.

Dead space is the only universe that makes diving head first into a wood chipper seem like a good idea

Love the remake vids! Keep slaying it!

Ahh thank you! I often wondered why closing one eye in bright light made seeing easier.

They Nerfed the Scream! I’ll never forgive that

Typically when I wake the first thing I do is look directly into the sun, both eyes wide open. Love your content guy Roanoke.

That soldier rig-gear looks awsome

WH40k called, they want their horrible fate back.

Choose your opponent: 6 foot angler fish or wall guardian

Bro I was just pitching the planetcracker vs brethren moons idea to my friend like 3 days ago. Poetic justice and everything

A new Roanoke video: the best way to wake up

Hey Roanoke, I think a topic youd really enjoy covering is a show called "Fringe" older show but very heavy on science topics )some pseudo but thats why Id want you to cover it I think you would really enjoy the show and make great content from it!

Everyone: that's a scary monster Roanoke: so let's look at the feet!

Direct intervention is always necessary

Hey Roanoke! Binging your videos since discovering your channel. Narration, analysis, humor, science 10/10! Two movies I recommend you to check out are Phantoms and Deep Rising. Both came out in 1998. Fun fact, Clifton Powell acts in both. I've seen them both in my teen years and I would really like to know what you think of them. Good luck with your channel!!

Never once in my life did I expect to see a Roanoke video from 33 minutes ago

I love Dead Space lore. It's the most Lovecraftian horror you're ever going to find. Hate how EA hates this franchise so much.

Up to date Necromorph Wall-Guardian lore video

Morning! Time for some coffee and Roanoke

I'd love to see you do a video on the Mimics from Edge of Tomorrow. Your take on their alien biology would be fascinating.

Bro I love your content

I just assumed the wall Gaurdians shot out massive teratomas

I think it's a lot simpler than that: The Brethren Moons simply have no use for human neural tissue. You can blow off a Necromorph's head and they won't even flinch. The only thing needed up top are the mandibles and sensory organs, while the brain is just ignored as useless waste tissue. In the case of a dead person becoming a Necromorph, the brain is already toast, so no screaming gets done. In the case of a living person, the brain is completely ignored and left intact, with the person inside basically getting to feel the rest of their body rot away as the infection does it's thing.

Love your dead space videos!

Perfect! Just finished watching Aliens Resurgence. Perfect timing!

YOU CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIIIS

These guys always freaked me out more than most necromorphs but I never really thought about why until now. I think subconsciously I was aware of that they seem conscious and that makes them even more messed up than most necromorphs

I have become wall, destroyer of sleep

"take a shot everytime i say species". Thats a instant subscribe from me

I’m actually pausing my game of Dead Space to watch this video right now. Your videos were so interesting, I bought the remake and am thinking about picking up 2 and 3 on my PS3 so i can play them.

I would love a remake of the dead space videos. I always like coming back to those anyway.

Great vid

Dead Space is one of my favorite sci-fi horror games, and I'm glad to see you are making another one. It's better for you to cover and explain it, rather than I who doesn't really understand the franchise. But the wall guardians, they're kind of creepy. In the facts are still conscious, is just awful.

I think the brethren moons leave the guardians faces mostly intact so collogues or people looking for them could recognize that face and i think they probably got so worn out fighting that the voices were able to whisper that resting in the corruption would be safe because the necromorphs won't notice them and they're so tired they believe them those brethren moons are truly twisted we should've been able to bust those moons open! keep up the good work great video by the way!

Who else loves waking up taking a shower and watching roanoke talking about dead space when eating breakfast

Oh to be a wall guardian screaming in agonizing pain, tis the dream.

"Direct intervention was necessary " Mass effect reference 😎

Can’t wait for the wheezer, my favorite redesign

Hey Roanoke, I think you should look at the HK virus evolved humans from dead island 3. I find their enhanced abillities with the retention of their humanity to be fasinating, and that the HK Virus could be refined to do this in all humans with time.
