Thanks for watching guys! I hope yall enjoyed this video, I look forward to covering this franchise more in the future!

His daughter got most of his team killed by not listening to what she was told to do

"Someone said I was a mediocre movie review channel lol hope yall enjoyed this one" It's unfortunate they think that way, you cover some of the most fascinating topics in fiction, but don't listen to the haters, your content is really good in my opinon

Another positive that may have been on purpose for the Super soldier theory is, if the body temperature reduces, this could make the soldier harder to detect. A decent portion of armies across the world have thermal gadgets and sights. A good example is a drone, mainly used thermal vision, this soldier would become invisible due to a lower body temperature possibly. Although I feel the directors may not have thought of this, it seems as if the military wanted a super soldier, this would have been something they would have wanted.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

Since there are robot zombies in the movie, something weird is definitely going down.

Given the existence of Aliens and Robots in the film, I figured the zombies “virus” was some form of nanotech meant to keep aliens alive.

The biggest Chekov's gun that wasn't fired was no rain bringing the shamblers back to life.

“Zeus is most likely a super soldier due to his haircut.” *shows clip of Zeus clearly wearing dog tags confirming his military status*

Zach Snyder was asked about the “robot” zombies in an interview and he answered the question with a question. His statement was this, “If you pay close attention, there’s a number of zombies that are clearly not zombies. You see normal zombies and then you see some robot zombies. Are they monitors that the government has placed among the zombies to monitor them? Are they technology from the other world? What’s happening there?” It’s also important to note he’s already announced a show that will build on the Army of the Dead universe. So, the question of nanotechnology being present could be answered in the show.

How did the guy in the vault survive for 12+ hours minimum before even realizing he was bit but Bautista only made it like 2 hours before turning?

The queen and Zeus losing their child genuinely upset me

I loved this movie, I was really confused when the zombies looked like they had blue robotic parts when they were killed or stabbed

So basically "NANOMACHINES, SON. THEY HARDEN IN RESPONSE TO PHYSICAL TRAUMA!"

You know man, you really hit a spot with your channel. Basically everyone wonders ‘what caused this disease, is this virus realistic, could this actually happen etc’ congrats. WE shall subscribe.

I really appreciate the term force multiplier on your reviews. It is a succinct description that covers quite a few technical angles. Do you use it to confound the Almighty and Everpresent Utoob Overlords? Your efforts are well crafted and enjoyable to watch. I hope you will continue far into the future in this endeavour.

The reason for the whole outbreak was the fact that the military was stupid enough to use a truck that had an explosive engine and that they used a fragile container that can go fly like a paper box and opens with ease from the landing. You would think they would use some insanely though and hard to open container if they transport such cargo as a highly contagious virus. Very informative breakdown btw, i really loved it.

If Roanoke ever needs a human test subject for something I'd volunteer

"we need to nuke Vegas!" "Ya we need to destroy the zombies!" "Zombies?"

Omg thank you so much for finally explaining that phenomenon in a way I can understand, there has only been one time in my life I have experienced that, and I hope to never do so again. A friend of mine swung by my house with someone I had never met in tow. His whole demeanor was just, off. I can’t describe it. I’ve never wanted more to be away from another person in my life. They talked about how he was hosting some kind of sleepover, and I had absolutely no intention of going. He was just. Calm. Way, way too calm. I still to this day dont know what it was exactly that I saw in his eyes, and to be entirely honest I’d rather not ever find out.

I am generally just here for the movie summary, sometimes i listen into the pathology for a little bit but generally i watch youtube to not use my brain. You're probably my favorite synopsis channel I have yet seen, a lot of channels either use bots or have a strangely nauseating cadence to the way they speak or just an annoying voice overall. You speak intelligently and without a weird cadence so 10/10 from me.

If you rip off a zombie's jaw, is that the same as getting a dog fixed? Lol

"Homo Cyborgus" Me who thought "Techno Sapiens": Yeah, I guess that works.

I honestly loved how you were able to take clues from the movie and piece them together to come to the conclusion that they were nanites.

13:50 that head-turning scene really turned the emotion, like from wholesome confession to 'oh well, she dead'

There are hints that there are aliens in the movie too. In the opening when you see the convoy leave the base and passes the gate, in the sky behind the soldier there are 2 lights floating in the sky which suddenly take off to fast to be planes or helicopters

Wait, does that mean Zeus was going after the Queen’s head because he could still reattach it to her body? Or an other alpha body? Since you said the body could still be “alive” just without a head to give the nanites instructions?

Fun fact about the mirrored neurons, often the ones who are most consistent with that are the neurodivergent. As a lot of us are able to separate emotions from logic, our instincts and impressions are much clearer without any bigotry being a part of it. Certain psychologists consider this to be a proof of the latent extra sensory capabilities of the human brain and liken this response to empathetic abilities. In esp studies, empathetic abilities are the emotional mirror of telepathy, so instead of reading thoughts, it's reading emotions. It's one of those studies that are hard to conclusively prove, but it's quite fascinating. I've experienced these responses a few times personally and they're almost always right. I also experience similar responses in hospitals around more ill patients, not a sense of them being dangerous or untrustworthy, but the anxiety towards their lack of survival.

Roanoke: mentions the sun and it being important in the summary Me: IT'S RABIES

Hey, i have a theory: what if the transmission of the nanites from bites and the decreace in intelligence from it are intentional, i mean wouldnt it be a pretty good weapon to have these supersoldiers sneak behind enemy lines and cause chaos by turning the enemy, and the decrease in intelligence is just a way to keep them in some control?. The control the zeus has on the alphas could be another intentional thing so the moment they infect an enemy soldier it dosent attack them.

Machines could be the government watching like zombie drones. Aliens are definitely part of it as you see two blue lights fry off at the beginning of the film

I was waiting for a breakdown of this film, annoyed it took so long to notice it was released but still well worth the wait. I knew you’d be one of the only channels to actually deep dive into it and you did not disappoint!

Zombies are my favorite horror villains, and I am forever thankful for your scientific breakdowns, Roanoke! I almost always enjoy your summaries and hypotheses more than the movies or games themselves!

Was very confused how aliens in a quiet place 2 suddenly couldn’t swim too lol but they made it a whole plot point!

Here's a horrifying thought, what happens to the nanites coding after enough generations of shamblers? Will they keep the replication part and drop the life support part?

Hey man, it seems like a strange comment. But I’m binging your content rn, thanks for the great informative work. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have gotten interested in the topic of virology and genetics. Your content always gets me thinking and is very entertaining as well, you’ve got great charisma. Thanks for all this. Good shit that actually helps pull me out of my manic depressive states. Makes me go off and research a bunch of stuff to learn more and gets my mind going in a good way lol

I think the monster in A Quiet Place simply walked along the floor of the flooded basement, not really "swim".

R.I.P the dude with the parachute… that would be terrifying, but also how do you put yourself into that situation 😂

Fam I really really like that you review the movie before showing it bc I haven’t even seen some of the movies you’ve done videos on

Hearing that the brain is still active after death scares me.

In A Quiet Place, the aliens do swim but only in shallow water, not deep water. So while they might not be totally aquatic, the idea that they lived in shallow water isn't unrealistic. It'd make sense for them to like shallow water too since they might be heavy, using the heavy to move fast on land but still having quick a lot of weight on their joints out of water

The only thing I could say during the ending was ITS ALL YOUR FAULT. Cause for real it was all the daughter's fault that it went so bad in the end.

Ya know, I wonder why that paratrooper decided to let himself be eaten rather than use one of the 4 self termination tools at his disposal

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal" - Roanoke when he becomes a techpriest

Entire video summed up in two words: "nanomachines son"

I wonder if Zack Snyder was influenced by Dying Light? I mean, it does take place in a quarantined city with normal and evolved zombies. Plus, I also like how the zombies established their own heirarchy/society.

The 'zombies' were alien and the robots were made by the goverment to watch the evolution. You need to read the comics to get the whole story.

Option B: CRSPR Modified Fungus, we have plenty of Fungi that can pretty much do the same thing as the nanites including metal deposits and acting as a backup nervous system piping like juices through the body. Genetic Degradation would burning holes in the brain reducing the meatsuit to an animal from failed reproduction/cloning would produce similar results. the Blue Glow is also a thing in a number of "Healing Fungus" and is likely why healing potions in games glow blue too.

It's been hinted that alien DNA was what was used to create the zombies. If you look at the right moment when the military are exiting the gate in the distance you can see two lights shoot off into space. If you ask me, the robot Z's are likely spies, sent to monitor the alphas to see if they are still useful. And as for the group, and the whole "time loop" theory, I think the group may be clones, sent time and time again to see if the perfect soldier could be created, since Zeus was not controllable. And Van, he may be that perfect soldier, or at least different in some way considering how long it took him to start to change and how he managed to walk fine through a recently nuked city.

"I thought it was pretty good!" tears movie apart for 30 minutes god bless you mr Roanoke

Honestly, f in the chat for my boy Zeus; gets whiplash in the truck crash, gets shot over and over, loses his mate, loses his kid, and is forced to watch Starbuck from battlestar galactica drop her severed head of the roof.

i like how the movie mentions if the zombies get wet after they dehydrate and turn into mummy's (essentially) they reanimate....and that never comes to play in the movie... i like that they take a minute to show one of the dehydrated hands of the dead was blocking a hatch from fully closing and walking...and it never comes to play in the movie... i like that they show zombie robots...and that is never explained in the movie... i like that they are sent into the city to steal money from a vault before a nuke was dropped on the city...for it to then turn out that the vault was strong enough to survive the nuke on it's own...and that the one guy inside it also survived the radiation poisoning that he would have been at the center of before having to basically walk to where ever he went at basically ground zero for the nuclear explosion... i thought there was some cool things about the movie, the cast seemed passable, but hot damn, you can't do a snyder cut for everything man...

“Metal face and the blue hue crew” best line I’ve heard to date

she was preggo before she was infected in dawn of the dead remake, causing basically a undead still birth. plus these zombies look more like theyre actually alive lol.

Roanoke: Lists all sorts of reasons why Zeus was probably a soldier. Also Roanoke: Ignores the multiple scenes shown in the video where you can see him wearing dogtags.

Whilst I was reading a book, one of the characters really bothered me. The character didn't do anything outwardly suspicious, but I just didn't like him. Later in the series, it turned out he was an evil dragon demon prince. If that sounds too weird, check the book series out, it's called Fablehaven. The two main characters are so incredibly boring, but I think that's the point...

2 minutes and 50 seconds in, the question, why are there one 2 humvee escorts, and why did the lead avoid the car? When it comes to escorting mission doesn't the lead vehicles hit oncoming vehicles to protect the Cargo/VIPs?

I absolutely LOVE the hypothesis you present that the hypothetical nanites at the root of the infection are converting substances in the body into an armored material the further out the infection spreads. I think that it's entirely possible we could see "Special Infected" in a sequel film, where the infection has spread so much that bestial, nigh completely cyberized variants of the infected begin to show up: Bones reinforced or replaces by a self-generated metal alloy, power and durability amplified but intelligence so greatly diminished they act purely on survival impulses, twisted from "fight or flight" to only "fight." Really, I just love the idea of a zombie apocalypse caused by malfunctioning super-soldier nanomachines instead of a typical viral infection. The possibilities for crazy shenanigans that canonically make sense abound! Cyborg Zombies! What's not to love about that concept, hahaha~

This whole thing would have gone smoother if Batista just whipped out the father card and told his daughter NO SHE CANT COME AND SHUT UP!

I still think those Zombies were Cyborgs, maybe they weren't on Vegas at the time and we're introduced later. At the very least, the presence of the UFOs kinda implies Aliens either have somethin' to do with it, or will intervene.

I thought that the rain thing was a joke, as a desert doesn't get too much of it and they're just skeletons anyway

Fun fact: in the beginning of the movie when the convoy moves out of the base, look to the clouds in the background. You'll see 2 bright lights that quickly fly off. I picked it up when someone made a comment on a video about this movie. So my guess is that it has something to do with Aliens. Edit: at 16:41 you'll see the 2 bright lights

11:28 LMAOOOO that's a reference to the movie "Triangle" where the characters are basically trapped in an infinite time loop

Ok, to be fair. While tomatoes are botanically a fruit, in terms of cooking they are a vegetable. Same with how in the cooking world mushrooms are vegetables.

Let's wear short sleeved shirts while walking into an infection zone. We won't get scratched at all!

Ok your content is incredible!! Super fascinating

That “gut feeling” isnt seeing details so small they are imperceivable. It’s actually that the brain is constantly filtering out what it deems as secondary or unnecessary information to free up neurological bandwidth to focus on immediate stimuli. It’s essentially that when we drive down the road our brain sees everything, cars, buildings, people, signs, speeds, light, shadows, etc. but if our brain didn’t filter all that we wouldn’t really be able to drive the way we need to. It’s because every time we’ve ever driven we have taught our brains what to focus on and what not to focus on. The gut feeling is your brain using information that had been or is currently being filtered. It can actually filter this info while also sorting through it to make correlations about the info and how it relates to what we are focusing on, or to the other filtered info. Our brain does this incredibly well and it’s also how it gathers data to fill in the gaps of what we didn’t perceive. Essentially using old data to create something like a probability index. It’s why people are bad eyewitnesses as well. Because we didn’t know it happened, but our brain used filtered date to fill in the unknown, even when it’s wrong. We can be super confident about something we remember in part because we remember the framework of the memory, and without us being aware it’s convinces us that the data used is actually true.

You might be interested in the morphology of the Warframe Infected, I adore your content and can't wait to see what else I can learn from you

You mentioned that the brain cooks at 106° and I'm just kinda sitting here in Arizona with a high of like 120° just yesterday

Man. I don't pay much attention to celebrity drama and all that nonsense but. Unnamed-recast man was literally one of my favorite comedians. Now I'm just sad all around.

Can we talk about the fact that the guy crawled out of a vault (love Fallout) less than 24 hours (given the time for the virus to take over) after a nuke had landed on top of him? If he hadn't been bitten, he'd have died from being soaked in radiation, but did the bite allow him to avoid that fate since he was already developing those cancerous-like cells?

I always get super hyped when Roanoke uploads since biology is literally one of my favorite classes.

If you go to 26:20 the shot of the guard standing outside, behind him in the sky are two balls of light one disappears and the other shoots up and to the right after being stationary like a ufo

I love that at 24:56 it’s basically just an adeptus mechanicus documentary

Dear god Roanoke. I swear any sci-fi franchise looking to make a sequel needs to watch your content first and throw you a nice check. Movies could take a whole different direction based on your analysis

You should make a video on Albert wesker and his mutations from resident evil. Just a suggestion 😁😁 Edit:there i fixed my mistake lol yall happy now?!😂😂

I have my own theory. Zack Snyder just threw shit at the wall to see what will stick

As someone with a bs in biochemistry I genuinely wish videos like this was how I learned biology. Imagine how interested in science kids would be if you gave them a zombie movie as homework and discuss in class what biological processes are involved and what did the movie get wrong. Your finals would include creating the perfect zombie virus within the limits of known science. Im homeschooling my kids and you better believe I'm stealing your idea dude. Great work! I'm loving these.

I guess I’m the only one not seeing the robot part, I did see the intense blue eye socket. It’s just not clear (IMHO) that it’s a terminator eye. I saw some blue glow\ goo that still fits in the experimental idea of crossing a soldier with alien goo or nano tech. I enjoyed the movie, but it was not a good movie… if that makes sense. Very fun to watch. I liked the whole invasion opening with the families and slow mo kills. The acting seemed bad though, which was weird because the actors were not bad actors…. Mayb it was the writing? I was just *Spoilers!!!* disappointed about no rain reanimated zombies or other zombie animals. A whole city and one tiger & horse? Give me some alien zombie demon dogs. It at least could have been a nod to resident evil. And having the people go in to get money to leave the camp? That whole camp there was weak sauce. But I would (embarrassed to say) love ❤️ ❤️ a sequel!! If in. If in Mexico city we get a blue glowing chupacabra or ahuizotl or huge atotlin…. I want a zombie alien bird!!!!!! 😂

You could hear Roanoke's soul leave his body with that little laugh after the Lost Vegas joke.

I don’t get the quiet place swimming thing. There’s a big ass difference between a flooded basement and a lake. No reason it couldn’t move through the basement water since it still had footing.

A body wouldn’t have enough metals in it to form a metal skeleton, not even Zeus had one. Those were drones with zombie suits over them, meant to monitor Zeus and the alphas.

Why tf are you actually one of the best channels on whatever you would call this genre

My favorite part of this movie was the intro: Las Vegas being over run and the military being overwhelmed. I want a movie focused around that. Sadly that napalm strike is the closest we will get to The Battle Of Yonkers

Snyder watching this: "Write that down, write that down!"

As on the Quiet place 2, in the first movie the water is only about waist high - which means the monster can easily stand on the bottom and come up for air by simply standing up. And in the second movie it's a whole ocean. Once they get to the bottom they cant get back up in time to get air and the fact that they are really heavy also probably shifts the sand making them shift futher and futher down, instead of being able to anchor their feet properly as the would on the concrete floor in the first movie. I think they can "swim" if the conditions allow them too. Solid flooring, not to deep water. Otherwise they are screwed.

Smart and fast zombies are the things that really make me afraid

Interesting theory. There are some holes in it though. Zack Snyder has said that there are some zombies who aren't quite zombies. The ones with metal skeletons and blue eyes are robot zombies made to keep tabs on the real zombies.

Today is the first time I've ever noticed the like count move without refreshing.

In the Dawn of the Dead, the women was pregnant before she was infected. So the baby gets infected, and was not conceived as a zombie.

I feel like instead of nuking yourself just planting a bunch of 2A enthusiasts on the walls would do the trick. Sure it might take longer, but you'd get to recover the materials and infrastructure at Las Vegas.

In addition to the robotic zombies (which I believe are actually robots confirmed by snider) seen throughout the movie 2 UFOs can be seen leaving the area 51 area at the start of the movie (you can actually see them in your vid) also throughout the movie several previous teams can be seen as corpses that are wearing the exact same uniforms and gear (not just the ones in the vault) all with different levels of progress hinting that the time Loop Theory May hold some ground. So the running Theory among people who have noticed is that this virus or whatever is somehow tied to alien technology and that the robotic zombies hidden throughout various scenes are actually government or alien plants sent there to monitor the situation and there's a Time Loop repeating itself until eventually the virus gets out of Vegas which was the original plan. Most of this has been confirmed by Snyder himself

This actually fixed all the issues I had with the movie, cept for it's run time.

The Automatons from Helldivers begin

I feel like our soul is that electrical impulse that we lose when we die. It would help explain why possible ghost sightings and experiences mess with electricity.

It would be awesome if you did a video on the blacklight virus from the prototype games. Love your channel btw. This movie is pretty awefull

Another way a bodys temp drops is in newborns. When my son was born some how right after he was born he got pneumonia. When we went to our day after appointments for getting out of the hospital from him being born and me giving birth his temp was 96.9° . We were sent straight to the hospital and he ended up having to stay a week and got two different kind of antibiotics. They told me that newborn typically dropping in temp when they're sick instead of getting a fever.

Zeus feels like a Dark Multiverse Captain America

As a kid who hasn't gone to university yet, I find this very educational.thx

That neck break. Wow, that was brutal! Yet, I feel like when you know anatomy, that one hits extra hard.
