Hank feels like a super villain doing a monologue in this video "It didn't have to be this way..." I LOVE IT

The beginning made me think I was about to get in a boss fight with Hank Green

yesterday, if you'd said to me the phrase "Suctorian Parasite" I'd assume it was one of the less-subtle monsters of the week from classic Star Trek

I love when Andrew was clearly having fun for an episode

"a colorful casualty of consumption" is a delightful alliteration that might describe something far less delightful as well, nice line Deboki.

Respectfully, the music in the beginning threw me off, but then the sudden drop OMG that was such a “worth the wait” moment . I got literal chills

@2:42 I used to have a hairless suctorian as my sales manager

The bgm makes this video something else. Gives a different type of feeling...

Love the change, giving a story to the microcosmos, the artistic flare and drama in the tone of delivery. Love the way the music shifted with the mood as the parasite went from small and swimming to menacing. Had a bit of trouble with my sensory processing disorder though, as the ticking tapping quality of the background music made it hard to filter and understand what was being said, mostly in the beginning of the video. Love the vibe of the music though! Nice variety from the normal chill tracks. May have just been an audio mixing thing? Keep exploring the creative side! It's delightful.

This channel quickly became one of my favorites and I'm so glad content like this exists on this platform.

Have we considered the possibility that the Suctorian is simply acting out in response to being given such a crappy name?

I love how this feels like I'm viewing this as an aquarium with the amount of detail

i love the higher stakes episode where hanks voice is so monotone. so much more creepy.

Keep the background music 50% audio level from the speech please

*Moral of the story... Never trust a Sucktorian.*

Chiming in that the creepy vibe and music totally fit the video content for me - another great video! Thank you for educating and entertaining us again and again.

Love the new more 'menacing' sound track for this episode. Deserves some sort of award.

Love your Videos. This time I found the music a bit to loud or potent.

Absolutely incredible footage! I dream of having a set up of this quality.

this channel is one reason i got a 4k display on my new laptop

I miss the calmer background music.

there are some really cool dynamic shots in this video. around 6:05 theres a really good look at the bent and dying and that reminded me that these creatures live in a 3d space. sometimes I forget bc they often look so flat.

This tardigrade is too extravagant for my taste. Make a color print of one frame from your awesome videos with a small logo or just a T-shirt with the logo of the channel.

Damn you folks are good. Great microscopy, great writing and great narration!!

it is amazing to think.. how vast and expansive the universe is (and stars and planet sizes).. and then we go the opposite.. equally interesting, equally alive and yet so tiny and minute (heteronym)... i try to wonder where we fit.. are we in the "middle" of these vast differences... yet we are locked into a position that only lets us "glimpse" these two extremes..

This would have been the perfect Halloween episode 🎃💀💀

I Love the mistery around the video and the music is perfect with the beautiful voice of Hank, impressive and need to be more appreciate.

Congratulations and thanks to Hank for judging the Nikon Small World in Motion contest too!

I really like the choice of music with this one. and yes, i agree with RJferret, the choice of wording this episode is great. Hank, i have been DFTBA for a decade now, and it took me two episodes to realise it was your voice (I did not know it was one of your channels at first but your very clearly recognisable dulcet tones shone through). I like this direction. My regards to your team and the Wiz kid james.

This sounds like an episode of the Magnus Archives

Oof I usually adore the music in these but this one is making my touch/sound synesthesia really weird and feels like a bubble in my throat.

The opening sounds like Green doing his best impression of the NoSleep Podcast host - absolutely fantastic

I love that I can feel good about watching these informative videos for their quality and curiosity.... But I'm kinda just here to hear the way Hanks voice sounds on this channel.

The confetti-bedek't organism looks too delicious. I'd eat it too.

I am so surprised that this channel has such a small fallowing. Sure it’s not sensational content. To me, it’s super interesting to see the scale of life and what goes on in the unseen world all around us. I’m proud to be a supporter however, I really wish this content could reach a greater audience. Thank you so much JTMC crew and most notably, thank you James. Please do carry on… =]

Could we have a future video about nassula and pigments in the microcosmos?

You got very poetic at the end, brilliant video, thank you!

Love the ambient vibes in this one... Andrew Huang (high five)!

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Love your vids,super interesting. Music I weren't so keen on. Like hearing your calming voice

Incredible editing on this video! Fantastic!

3:38 At some points the suctorian looked like a miniature death star.

love the dramatic narration in this one! 😂

Oh, the soothing voice of Hank Green 😌

these are such good videos i've been watching since the beginning....i think its hilarious that when there is a speck on one of the lenses or camera i always reach up to make sure it isn't on my monitor....lol for two years....i still don't trust my monitor is clean enough XD

I love the T-shirt 😂😂 and your channel is fantastic ! Much love from México 💜😍

man, the music in the start of the video was crazy. andrew huang is amazing

This video was cool! Can we see more parasatizing/symbiotic/mutual microbial interactions?

Just want to say how much I enjoy the poetic language you bring to the beautiful, bizarre microcosmos.

These videos are excellent.

This video about teeny creatures is somehow a Bop

This is really cool! Got introduced not too long ago by a video about viruses and soap, and I'm loving this content

Best journey yet !!!!!!

I enjoy the tone of this video.

Lovee this!

Well, that was very dramatic. And kinda poetic......

Patiently outstretched tentacles. Very Lovecraftian, this (eek) Really interesting music choice this time! Gave the whole video a kind of punk feel in a way, a nice change

in such quiet waters even a subtle change of pace is dramatic....

Watching this video felt like playing SPORE

These guys can be surprisingly beautiful creatures

Wow, the vibe from this video was... chilling, honestly. Amazing nonetheless. Can't wait to see what see Season 5 will bring!

Stunningly good

This is so good

So, at what point does the nassulid cease to _be?_ I would think the parasite wouldn't want to kill its host, right?

just watching it makes my skin crawl but then these things are for real.

Glad Hank is back narrating 👍

The sound engineer took me on an acid trip

James, no one, save Morgan Freeman, could ever be the voice of this journey to the microcosmos!

great job and some amazing footage - can you comment quickly on what you used to do the dark field and phase contrast stuff, camera included please? I've been doing this stuff for a long time with basic equipment (used to be a naturalist at a local Baylands nature center), and it would be nice to up my game

"Somewhere else in the micro cosmos is this" 2:00 Ahh an Immodium

Swimming so close against all that debris, It seems almost like it is trying to rub Suctorian parasite of itself.

That poor _tardigrade_ had the equivalent of a zombie encounter.

What an amazing world we live in

Science is amazing

Masterful

the terraria music was interesting to say the least

Creepy, yet extremely fascinating💚🦠🦠🔬

Man, Sci Show got bizzare as hell 😂 Did they hire Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross?

A single bacteria to kill me painlessly at once

Thanks, and I just got done eating too.

I didn't know Hank Green narrated this!

*boss music* Hank [ENEMY]: You know, it didn’t have to be this way

Please make the background music much quieter relative to the commentary voice.

Interesting music and editing. Reminded me of Aronofsky

I can see a whole crowd of cyanobacteria mocking the Nassula and cheering for the Suctorian. :p

This randomly made me think of something for speculative evolution; what if Suctorians and Nassulids went into a sort of symbiotic relationship, like how Eukaryotes did with Mitochondria? It's a ridiculous idea, but with multiple Nassulids fusing together, it could potentially lead up to a different form of tissue development?

I like the white shirt :D

Wait is this the same Hank Green from SciShow? I can recognize the voice a bit, but boy did it get *deeeep*

Gotta say, I loved the background tracks- very nice touch.

The way the suctorian can bind multiple hosts together... I have to wonder: have any of the genesisi of multicellularity been similar? Could some similar system birth multicellularity on another world?

Screw horror films. This is one of the most haunting things I've watched in ages.

Not sure how I missed this one, but now I leave you a like and comment for the Almighty Algorithm!

Whoa did you get a better microphone?

Nice business model.

The drama of this episode!

Hank on a serious note

loving the music for this video

What if everyone bought both shirts. Then you will have to keep them both up for sale

Why is some of the footage titled "nassulid" while the narration keeps referring to the organism as "nassula"?

Next time on JTTM: did Nassulid broke his promise and kissed Mitochondrium behind cytoplasm's back?
