more advantages: 1 - they are immune to infestation or void corruption. 2 - the nerazim live on a dark planet and adapted to feed on invisible light. you can't starve a protoss. 3 - the spear of adun is powered by a star.
4 - Literally time manipulation 5 - Phasing armor technology 6 - Purifier data web and AI personalities means the Purifiers can have an army of Kaldalis / Fenix's (aka the Protoss' best warriors) until they run out of host bodies (which they could mass produce more) They are stupidly OP, they're holding themselves back so much >_>
7 - Adaptability. Ben got it wrong in the video when he said the Nerazim don't have psychic powers, they just aren't connected to one another. Instead of drawing on the psionic energy of the Protoss collective (the Khala) they instead draw upon the latent energies of the Void. Any Protoss can learn to do this even if they maintain their connection to the Khala as Tassadar proved when he killed the Zerg Overmind. If you try to take away a Protoss's psionic abilities, they'll just use extradimensional energy instead
The Nerazim still have psychic powers. It’s just that they have privacy now and aren’t linked to a hive mind unconsciously. Mothership does not turn itself invisible.
Ben forgot to touch more on the biology of the protoss so allow me to explain. The protoss skin is pretty much an all purpose organ, they absorb sunlight and water for nourishment, they can hear through their skin and taste through it. The average life-span of a protoss is around 1000 years but it can be extended through technology and psionic abilities. It is never specified how the Protoss reproduce and they don't have any orifices so we can't assume they do it like most animals. My theory is that they reached a point where they are depended on their technology to reproduce and thus genetic material is harvested from both spouses and the child grows in an artificial womb in a laboratory. Or another theory is that they do it like the Asari using their psychic powers to link the minds of the spouses and exchange genetic information through telepathy.
Well, they must reproduce sexually seeing as there are male and female protosses (otherwise, male and female don't mean anything). How they do it exactly? I'm not sure. Both of your possible explanations would work in a sci fi universe, but not in real life: 1. The possibility of natural evolution leading to them being completely dependent on technology is incredibly low. 2. You can't exchange genetic material ( or any material) through telepathy. Not to mention that you need more than just genetic information to create a new living being. My hypothesis is that they actually do have sexual orifices ( despite the lore saying otherwise) and they just reproduce like that. I know that it contradicts the cannon, but sometimes the cannon just doesn't make sense.
I have always rather liked the aesthetic of Protoss technology - it could easily have been a generic clean high tech sci fi look, but like the technology of the Eldar, that of the Protoss has its own visual lexicon and distinct identity that is pretty much always recognisable at a glance.
protoss don't have any of those flaws: 1 - they are not declining. unlike eldar, they do reproduce. taldarim are the best example, as their society is based on the survival of the strongest, they are constantly dying and being replaced by new ones. 2 - protoss disunited anymore. the kalai severed their nerves and joined with the nerazim into a new empire. the taldarim went their own way but they could join forces again if threatened by a bigger foe. 3 - they get allies. 4 - the purifiers joined the new empire and are treated as normal protoss. the collosi would be the only flaw, but they work with the purifiers and are only good against ground troops. any air or armored unit or anti-air defense can take them down very easily.
Came here to say the same thing. Since the advent of the Daelaam, the Nerazim and Kalai Protoss have more or less been united. During the End War, Artanis chose to apologize for the mistreatment of the Purifiers at the hands of their ancestors and proved that he wished for them to integrate as part of Protoss society (even if they are simulacrums of other Protoss). And then once the End War was over, Alarak allowed any of the Taldarim who wished to leave and integrate into Daelaam society to do so. He might have only given them one chance to do so before going his separate way, but he also put an end to the hostilities between the Taldarim and other Protoss. And with Amon's destruction, the Zerg have been freed from his influence and most likely won't wage their war against the Protoss. And without the Zerg to fight, that just leaves the occasional rogue Terran faction. Suffice to say that they definitely aren't losing population as war casualties on as large a scale anymore so if they were in decline, they aren't now.
I mean in one of a full moon they will not backstab you, at least they are ot ego dick like the Eldar, sadistic like the Dark Eldar, hungry like Zerg nor Tyranid, warmonger like Ork, destructive like Necrons.... the Protoss, prior to recent event are pretty much noble and again, trustworthy
i feel like one of the advantages of the Protoss would be their willingness to partner up with other species such as the Terrans, and sometimes even the Zerg when faced with a common enemy.
The lore and expanded universe of starcraft is extremely lacking. Which honestly makes me sad There aren't much 'common enemie' in the lore to unite against.
@@johnchukwudum673 i do, but i feel as even with our limited understanding of the universe we can probably conclude that if all the races talked about in this series were dropped on a planet somewhere to duke it out, based on past understanding the Protoss and Zerg would either team up or choose not to fight each other as neither side would benefit from it. Zerg can't use protoss material and protoss get nothing from having another enemy to deal with.
@@lewistreadwell7006 You say "...if all the races talked about in the series were dropped on a planet..." the major races in Starcraft are 3 (we all know the name of the races and I won't name them). Yeah there's the xel'naga, but they mostly take a back seat, and are more background races.
Despite showing LoTV cut scenes you seem to delve into the old news that they are still connected to thr Khala. Also the fact that the purifiers are now their ally in term of Fenix. They could have an infinite number of their greatest warrior as long as they have available hosts.
A big weakness of the Protoss is their psychic link. This allows them to be disrupted by psychic jamming technology or to be taken over completely by powerful psychic beings such as Amon.
Your enthusiasm for this race just bleeds through every pore. Even with your lack of enthusiasm the snark is top notch. High quality snark is why this is one of my favorite channels.
The Protoss are OP. Their basic flying unit in SC1 was the scout. Although in game it was pretty much worthless, lore wise, they shot out anti-matter missiles (practically shooting nukes as a standard attack). They also can perform exterminatus, stop time, open black holes, print out machines, replicate the mind with 99% accuracy and so forth. In fact, if you take a look at the SC2 universe, its a miracle that the Terrans (humans) managed to survive. To note, the protoss aren't just one race. They are one species but different races. Amon had accelerated the development of the Protoss. This resulted in genetic branching of the species rather than a genetic shift. The differences between races caused war and the Khala was to reunite these different races. After all, your minds will be interlinked to others, feel their memories and emotions and so forth and it would be very difficult to fight each other. The Nerazhim are those that favoured individuality. Without the collective mental force that is shared when one is connected to the Khala, the dark templar draw power from their own minds and the void, quite like the Taldarim. Unlike the Taldarim, they constantly discipline themselves in fear of being devoured by the cold empty but chaotic void. A protoss known as Tassadar who was later revealed to be an avatar of a Xelnaga could harness the collective mental power of the Khala and the void to snuff out the suffocating mental entity like the Overmind, alone. All in all, the existence known as protoss is an enigma. You simply don't know how powerful they really are. Especiallly if they throw away their morals.
If we go by what little lore we have: - Starcraft Evolution by Timothy Zahn cements the end of decline in Protoss. No real conflict technically exists to dwindle their numbers. (It's a decent book, so give it a read.) - The Purifiers are now part of the fold. You can thank Fenix for that one. - The Tal'darim are dicks, so I'll give you that one. - The Dha'uhl is no longer really applicable anymore. Artanis swept that stuff away and unified the different ideologies the best he could. Everyone was Templar by this point. See you later, caste system. BTW, I must give props to Zagara in the same book I mentioned. Creating a Zerg strain that actually retvitalizes planetary life? Good show on you, Zagara. The Sara system would appreciate what you do. However, I'd like you to keep Abathur locked in a very small cell; you can't trust him as far as you can throw him.
Adan Daniels, I was hoping they would do a video on those mutant abominations, unfortunately that game series is not well known, and its doubtful that they will make a fourth game in the series, so most likely as time goes on fewer and fewer people will know about it.
Did we catch the same Springer episode years ago where the MTF trans took nails and then a circular saw to one leg, built a wheelchair ramp using the same tools, and then got most of the way through the other leg?
Khalis, Uraj, and Khadarin crystals; the glowing blue crystals that the protoss use are organic, living, and intelligent psionic artifacts created by the Xel'Naga for the Protoss' use. Their uses include magnification of potency, range of psionic abilities as well as being imprinted with any abilities that a protoss can manage either by themselves or in a group such as levitation, memory storage, cloaking, and linking the minds of all Xel'Naga creations... Ex: "The Khala" Trivia: Every Khalai protoss who dies while connected to the Khala has their ENTIRE lifetime of memories and experiences downloaded into one of only THREE!!! "Preservers" (Protoss of extremely powerful abilities who serve as a reservoir of all collective protoss knowledge.) Tal'Darim and Nerazim don't have Preservers because the severed their nerve cords and reject the Khala, they instead download their minds into small Khaydarin crystal slivers right before they die. So both of those factions have entire libraries full of beer bottle sized crystals containing the minds/souls/experiences of their entire peoples. Zeratul actually did this partially and gave his crystal to James Raynor in Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty...
The purifier project are actually a noble project once before. They kinda like how a high ranking or the most decorating space marine when they fall or got heavily injured in battlefield, they end up being dreadnaught so they can keep fighting again or share their wisdom. Thats why most of the higher ranking purifier have personality of a former warriors like Fenix and such. But after few generation when they kinda in their golden age, they forgot the reason why they make those purifiers and end up thinking that they just some robots.
Oh and another thing, they dont have healers and mechanics like how in SC1. Well they probably dont need them since they can teleport their wounded away when they almost died or incapacitated. And they can just remake their broken stuff out of nothing. I guess thats why some people create dark archon just to mind control the medic and MCV of the terran. 😂😂😂
@@khai96x Just because something looks human doesn't mean it is human, also not all mutants look human (eg: Azazel from First Class looks like a demonic entity joined Palpatine's Galactic Empire).
Most people in the comments somewhat triggered for some misunderstandings with these facts. Me triggered by Ben's disregard of the metric system. i guess it's funnier to say "zealots weight as much as 45 burgers and as are tall as 3 dogs standing on their hind legs."
I think the robot flaw is good cause they can learn and because they have kala, they will protect the protoss cause the purifiers thinks that the protoss are less powerful than them.
But what about the Space Pirates of Metroid, the Ceph of Crysis & the Chimera of Resistance? We must know how to eradicate them before they can contact their Dolphin allies!
What the hell, American Ben. You sound reasonable & smart in this video. Oh, yeah, I'm still high from last night. Thank good for Uncle Ike's here in Seattle. But, really where is the real American Ben & what did you do with him? Are you his Good twin? Where is he? Should I get the Boys together to find him or do I even care?
Im not sure about your sentence. Do you really think the nerazim dont have psyionic powers ? In case of doubt, they have as strong as the kalai (the main protos faction) . But they can get enven stronger cause the kalai limit themselves to only a form of psyionic usage the nerazim do t have such limitations cause their society is based around individual libertys. Meanwhile, they often focus on the psyonics tric getting the power from the void, its not forbidden to use both, just dangerous because you need a complete matery of both forms (simultaneously) to not risk wipe uself from existing and half a planet with it
So much wrong with this video, but I will only touch on a few points: 1. The protoss don't go out of their way to defend other races. I'm fact, according to the khala the protoss should not/aren't allowed to "interfere in the matters of lesser beings, unless there is a direct threat to the empire" (Rhoanda, LotV campaign). 2. The protoss's declining population isn't because they are "too wise for their own good" or because they are "restrained and wise" or anything like that, it's simply their biology, they just aren't prolific. What do you want them to do about it? Why is it considered a flaw as if it is a mistake which they made? Also, their numbers only declined sharply as a result of the invasion of Aiur, before that, their numbers were pretty good. 3. About disunity: almost every race in sci-fi and real life isn't completely United. And I'd say that having only 3 separate factions is actually very good, not to mention that the Khalai are EXTREMELY unified, and that they recently United with the Nerazim as well. Also, these fragmentations happened long before the population began to decline. 4. About the banishing of the Nerazim: one important thing which you didn't mention is that this event happened only shortly after the Aeon of Strife, and also that the Khala was actually a restoration of the psionic bond which the protoss shared before this conflict. By rejecting the Khala the dark Templar weren't just rejecting a religion, they were rejecting a very fundemantal part of what it means to be protoss, and it was feared that they would bring a second Aeon of Strife. 5. About psionic powers: the Nerazim do still have psionic powers, they just don't have the powerful psionic bond that the Khalai have. 6. About the robots: again, they started using robots long before their population was in decline, and even is this wasn't true, using robots just makes sense even if you have enough biological troops: why risk the lives of people when you have machines? About controlling the robots: what you said about the purifiers is true, but it happened very long ago. The modern protoss military robots don't have true AI and are all either automata or remote controlled, and thus would never rebel.
Now, now, enough with the blasphemy. Everyone knows that the metric system is the civilized system, not that imperial nonsense. You want humanity to kick alien and dolphin asses, you need to go metric.

Why do you have to cut me so deep, American Ben?
I liked this video for Auir. En Taro Tassidar!
Adun toridas brother
Khas il'adare (may your spirit soar)
For any Warhammer 40K fans out here, is Samus Aran truly as powerful as a Primarch?
If so, the Chozo might warrant a video in this series.
No. Explode grenades in their palm and barely notice? Fight in near-void conditions san-helmet? No. Primarchs are superior.
How about a video on Mutants from Marvel?
They are not xenos. They are humans. And to divide humanity is heresy.
@@khai96x,
Except they're still mutants, and so its safe to say that they are not "pure" humans as far as the Imperium is concerned.
@@GargamelGold As far as the Imperium is concerned, they're valuable resources, akin to spykers, perhaps even more so.
@@khai96x they're technically a different species: their evolutionary name is Homo Superior, the same way that we are Homo Sapien.
@@khai96x Just because something looks human doesn't mean it is human, also not all mutants look human (eg: Azazel from First Class looks like a demonic entity joined Palpatine's Galactic Empire).
Do the grineers or sentient from Warframe or something
They aren't aliens though. Grineer are modified cloned humans and sentients are human created robots.
@@blaster23456 well they look like aliens to me so it counts lol
@@viet_cong_momiji2324 Agreed. They must be destroyed in the name of humanity.
Irken Armada from Invader Zim! :D
Great video on the Protoss. I give them a "4" because of their disunity, rebellious AI and falling population numbers .
XD Jokes are great as always!
Most people in the comments somewhat triggered for some misunderstandings with these facts. Me triggered by Ben's disregard of the metric system. i guess it's funnier to say "zealots weight as much as 45 burgers and as are tall as 3 dogs standing on their hind legs."
I am kinda offended when you said the Protoss are "douches" XD!!!!! They are my favorite race in Starcraft after all
Apprently the guy who take care of you goaty don't use the metric system as well
They use both.…
How the fuck are the robots a flaw ? The purifiers joined forces
I think the robot flaw is good cause they can learn and because they have kala, they will protect the protoss cause the purifiers thinks that the protoss are less powerful than them.
They have NOT ENOUGH MINERALS
MY LIFE FOR AIUR!
Amurican Ben can u do a vid on the Irken military n the GIRRR...0_0?
The strongest alien race is obviously the Q continuum. It's not even a contest.
Weakness? Artosis pylons.
Protoss are my favorite
Ah yes, budget eldar
eldar are just space elves. protoss are much more deep.
Do 10 flaws for the Taken from Destiny 2
But what about the Space Pirates of Metroid, the Ceph of Crysis & the Chimera of Resistance? We must know how to eradicate them before they can contact their Dolphin allies!
When bias prevents honest critique. It's a shame.
do the tau
What the hell, American Ben. You sound reasonable & smart in this video. Oh, yeah, I'm still high from last night. Thank good for Uncle Ike's here in Seattle. But, really where is the real American Ben & what did you do with him? Are you his Good twin? Where is he? Should I get the Boys together to find him or do I even care?
Do the Asgard from Stargate.
Yeah that's so many alien races should look out for artificial intelligence
Your distaste for the Protoss as a whole shrouds your vision in their history.
Im not sure about your sentence. Do you really think the nerazim dont have psyionic powers ? In case of doubt, they have as strong as the kalai (the main protos faction) . But they can get enven stronger cause the kalai limit themselves to only a form of psyionic usage the nerazim do t have such limitations cause their society is based around individual libertys. Meanwhile, they often focus on the psyonics tric getting the power from the void, its not forbidden to use both, just dangerous because you need a complete matery of both forms (simultaneously) to not risk wipe uself from existing and half a planet with it
Let’s play who can’t beat the forerunners
Aeldari < Protoss for me.
if you are in constant war. then its good af you do it like rabbits when on R and R.
Is it just me, or does Ben sound sick?
You forgot one flaw, they susceptible to be controlled by an evil deity
One thing... Khalai is (was) worker class...
The Protoss aren’t anti human though
Yes.... Ok, I'm not following what your saying.
arthur jackson I’m saying I thought this was about aliens that threatened human life not about ever alien in syfy history
Oh! You must be new here. Welcome to the Humanity First Coalition. No xenos, no dolphins.
@@ajaxthegreatest2191 ,
LOL, Dolphins, the biggest threat to humanity.
Yeah strong aliens, sure, but they can't stand a chance against a nuke
it takes 4 tactical nukes to destroy a nexus. and you have to do it fast because the shields regenerate.
I give them 4 pylons under construction
"Elon Musk-types free"- lmao! :D :D :D
So, no cave dildos, I guess? :D :D :D hahahaha
SO LOL!
What is Gretzky?
I am Protoss, I fired your depiction very offensive.
Protoss vs Covenant face off... plse!?!?!?!?
14 dislikes, must be zerg players
Why is there a baby tribble on his face?
So where is the flaws and advantages of the terran? Having done the protoss and zerg ya can not leave the third faction out of your series
Maybe the prostoss should use drones instead of ai, just like the soveriegn did in guardians of the galaxy volume 2.
They do. The Sentry is technically a drone
You guys need to do the Replicators from SG-1
do a tau video.
Do the combine from half life
So much wrong with this video, but I will only touch on a few points:
1. The protoss don't go out of their way to defend other races. I'm fact, according to the khala the protoss should not/aren't allowed to "interfere in the matters of lesser beings, unless there is a direct threat to the empire" (Rhoanda, LotV campaign).
2. The protoss's declining population isn't because they are "too wise for their own good" or because they are "restrained and wise" or anything like that, it's simply their biology, they just aren't prolific. What do you want them to do about it? Why is it considered a flaw as if it is a mistake which they made?
Also, their numbers only declined sharply as a result of the invasion of Aiur, before that, their numbers were pretty good.
3. About disunity: almost every race in sci-fi and real life isn't completely United. And I'd say that having only 3 separate factions is actually very good, not to mention that the Khalai are EXTREMELY unified, and that they recently United with the Nerazim as well. Also, these fragmentations happened long before the population began to decline.
4. About the banishing of the Nerazim: one important thing which you didn't mention is that this event happened only shortly after the Aeon of Strife, and also that the Khala was actually a restoration of the psionic bond which the protoss shared before this conflict. By rejecting the Khala the dark Templar weren't just rejecting a religion, they were rejecting a very fundemantal part of what it means to be protoss, and it was feared that they would bring a second Aeon of Strife.
5. About psionic powers: the Nerazim do still have psionic powers, they just don't have the powerful psionic bond that the Khalai have.
6. About the robots: again, they started using robots long before their population was in decline, and even is this wasn't true, using robots just makes sense even if you have enough biological troops: why risk the lives of people when you have machines?
About controlling the robots: what you said about the purifiers is true, but it happened very long ago. The modern protoss military robots don't have true AI and are all either automata or remote controlled, and thus would never rebel.
Or whatever kilometers. XD
I agree, Musk is too fast for such a big mission.
Now, now, enough with the blasphemy. Everyone knows that the metric system is the civilized system, not that imperial nonsense. You want humanity to kick alien and dolphin asses, you need to go metric.
I give you down vote for a specific reasons
TheMetricSystemIsFakeNews
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me, or does this guy not fully understand and know what he is talking about.
I know, right?!
You should do the kett from mass effect
