Hey I just noticed something: In the section for projected movement, Alcatraz mostly rotates in place until 1970, and only then it starts to move towards the coast. In real life, the prison closed down in 1963. So that means, all this time the bodies of dead prisoners were being fed to the island. However, after the prison closed down, it no longer had a steady source of sustenance, and started heading towards the mainland in search of a new food source...
The island did not do that though, it was a projected behaviour of it. In reality it began feeding much sooner as we see that by 2020 the alcatraz zone has extended up to west texas, while in the projection it had barely gotten through san francisco by 2020.
@@WreedTrimmer my headcanon right now is that the knew it would move but not that it would spread, because they thought the radiation therapy would work at controlling it
It’s basically a giant single organism. Cells reproduce by splitting in half, with both duplicates being an exact copy of the original. Alcatraz is dividing.
I came into this video, thinking "hah hah, crazy monster made of cells" because I'm hilarious and then it just ended up being what could be considered a world ending giant single called organism.

So: -The Statue of Liberty has something imprisoned in it (and it gets out sometimes) -The Lincoln Memorial is a prison for one person (???) -Mount Rushmore has giant fungal growths just jetting out of it (Currently on daily anti-fungal treatment) -Alcatraz is actual cancer (and it has spread to west texas) In the next stunning entry into this series, we will find out how the Grand Canyon is actually the Devils Anus! Jokes aside, I do quite like the series. Outside of LINCOLNLOOKER (which has more of an occult vibe to it), these are all very unique takes on (super-)natural horror. Additionally, the different ways these are portrayed are quite nice. LibertyLurker has a documentary vibe, LincolnLooker is more an investigative Interview, RushmoreRevenge has a found-footage quality to it and now this has a nice scientific paper/military strategy vibe to it, what with the reference to radiation therapy and very nicely drawn diagrams. Keep up the good work, Itching to see more!

The Lincoln Memorial is a prison for many people, when a new president is elected they choose someone to sit in the Lincoln Memorial for 4 years, when there is a new president the person inside the memorial gets out and a new one comes in

Next time: Watch as a container ship blows up a canal, does the rave, and kills a 100th of the middle class of this unusually odd country.
So let me get this straight: Alcatraz was a living organism, basically a LITERAL cell, which was seemingly quite content to just spin in place until they closed the prison, which seemingly cut off it's food supply. At that point, and ONLY at that point, it started to head towards the mainland, obviously looking for food, which would obviously be an extremely big problem. And the American Army's best idea to deal with this problem isn't to, y'know, reopen the prison and feed the thing again, no, their best idea is to TREAT IT WITH RADIATION when we've been able to link cancerous growths and radiation SINCE THE EARLY 1900's. Whoever decided that the NUKE IT route was the best route was not a very smart person.
@@tommyfortress7515 Alcatraz doesn't have cancer so much as it basically BECAME cancer. At it's most basic, cancer is where cells grow and replicate uncontrollably. By nuking it, they caused it to mutate and become a cancer cell, which in turn led to it rapidly multiplying and deciding that the west coast looked tasty.
"Alright, what were the results of our semiannual inspection?" (long cigar draw) "Ya prison's got cancah." "I-I'm sorry?" (sigh) "Look pal, whaddya got between dem ears? Ya prison's got cancah. Not my problem. That'll be $200."
That's a really cool concept, but I don't get how Alcatraz could move so quickly after therapy when previously it would've taken decades to reach the coast.
its sapient apparently it didnt consider anything a threat to it so didnt care but after being hit with a radiation beam it considered the entire usa a threat so multplied and rushed
The Alcatraz Cell: -Created by the U.S. Government in an attempt to have enough prisons -Attempted to be killed by Radiation therapy -Has the capacity to move, and replicate -Communicates via a siren, Siren becomes louder if it considers something a threat -Usually attacks whatever it considers a threat by a pack motive, the original Alcatraz leading the rest -If an animal that the island considers a threat walks on the surface, the Alcatraz Cell releases a mysterious pathogen that slowly rots the animal from the outside, killing it within a painful 14 hours. The 2003 Alcatraz Attack: -After the attempt to kill it by radiation therapy, Alcatraz Cell considered the U.S. a threat. -In 1990, the Alcatraz Cell was beginning to duplicate in the Pacific Ocean -1995, Alcatraz Cell(s) stopped duplicating and began to move towards Texas -Ocassionally, some cells would get lost. This would cause the lost cell to blare a light siren. It seemed to be aware of non threatening humans that just wanted to help it. -Humans that it considered a threat would be infected with a biological agent that slowly deteriorated their flesh. -In 2000, the Navy started to fire against the Alcatraz Cells. This caused the cells to duplicate, and they eventually overtook the ships. -In 2003, the Alcatraz Cells reached Texas. There, citizens described a blaring siren that grew louder and louder by the second. -After what seemed like years of fighting, the Army ceased fire. The Alcatraz Cells were given the entire Gulf of Mexico. -In total, 6,857 people went deaf, and 91 died to the mysterious pathogen. -17 years later, the Alcatraz Cells have begun to make landfall again. -As of now, 54 cells have been counted that are part of the hivemind.
Ehh, don't much like this. Having it distinguish between humans who want to "help" as well as the element of "considering something a threat" takes the fear factor away due to it being not only defensive but also somehow capable of distinguishing human motivations. Meaning it's far less mysterious.
@@LordVader1094 I disagree with this. I think that this shows a perfect explanation of the entirety of the video, as well as what happened after its public release. Even the cheesy parts, like us trying to help the cell, and the cells knowing who is not a threat seem realistic in today’s world. There are a few individuals who would help them.

Alcatraz seems to either have been built or mutated into a sort of entity with its blueprints with similar structures to that of a giant cell.

What I love about this episode is that I figured out the basic idea without even getting through the 1st minute, and it still had me all the way through. Wish I found this a year ago.
Both times I saw the "__ days before therapy" thing,I just thought of the island sitting in the stereotypical therapy chair,somehow having been shrunken down,and with a therapist sitting across from it,asking it questions. Also,I'm going to nickname the island "Alcaty" because nobody can stop me.
Admittedly, I found out about this via Wendigoons fist video about it. But after his recent upload I came over to check it out for myself and , honestly, there's a reason his videos about it are so lengthy. There's such rich development in even he most unassuming entry, and seriously Alex, what you've done here is incredible, and everyone else, show this man some love. I hope you continue creating, both inside and outside of this world you've built. Your work is captivating.
When I first watched this episode, I just thought "huh, Alcatraz is a living organism, neat" and didn't give it any mind. But THEN the AlcatrazApocalypse happens. AND the Alcatraz Checkmate. AND Donald Trump's death on Alcatraz island. The music from this episode is engraved in my very pores, I swear, it gives me goosebumps every time I hear a reprise of its theme; the Alcatraz episode only gains more and more relevance as the story progresses.

The scariest thing is that the simulation expected the Alcatraz Zone in 2020 to still be located in the San Francisco Harbor IF THE ISLAND WAS LET UNTOUCHED, but the nuclear treatment has accelerated the process and Alcatraz has already eaten half of the continent by that year. Doing nothing would have saved milions of lives for decades.
A video claiming that Alcatraz is a gigantic sentient cell is *not* what I thought I'd see today. God I love this series and I've only just begun watching it
Back in the day, they said you couldn’t escape Alcatraz. But they were proven wrong. But now, you really can’t escape Alcatraz. It’s here. It’s there, everywhere. Sometimes, something that’s proven wrong can become right. And sometimes, the consequences are nasty. Very nasty.
Ok, so I went to Alcatraz twice. Once as a kid and once as an adult. It's a creepy place with a heavy vibe. But I'm going to put my two cents in here and say that the island didn't eat dead prisoners, it fed off of live prisoners souls. I think we can see proof of that in the state of decay of the city by the bay in 2022. If you take a look at the condition of SF these days, I'd say there isn't a soul left there. Ok, maybe a few, but whoa, it's bad.
Kinda makes you wonder if the land has placed a curse on the American people. The sins we have committed to the continent and it's people have now began to take their toll.
I really like this video. It makes you wonder not only what Alcatraz is, but also how does it move?? Does it simply float on the surface, does it have a cluster of tendrils and arms underneath that drag it along the sea bed… it’s left to the imagination.
"Hey Bobby you still want to go on that fishing trip?" "I don't know let me check the weather real quick" **Looks out window** "Well it doesn't look like a storm is approaching so- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"
The surveillance society was proposed by Thomas More to account for his version of what a Utopia might be like. The panopticon was the prisons concept for blinding prisoners to the idea they were all being watched all the time. Orwell’s 1984 proposed a similar system with telescreens. Out in the wide world away from closed institutions there had to be a way of evoking the same feeling. Fear is easy to spread with good media. Surveillance, like an island is a metaphor for isolation.
This series is interesting as it seems like these occurrences are an accepted facet of life not unlike natural disasters; the thing under Liberty, the Alcatraz cell, they're all just dangerous natural phenomena.
I remember visiting the real alcatraz awhile back; it was earlier in the day in the fall on a weekday, so not a lot of other tourists around, and the atmosphere was just quiet and cursed. I've been to a lot of the other locations in the series, but this is easily the most believable
bro this is weird but I let my 2 year old niece have one of my earbuds while I was watching this & she just stared at the computer & listened for like ten minutes LMAO and she’s super high energy, so ig the shining music chilled her out
I just realized, throughout the video you can see a bunch of parts of a animal cell in the layout of the island, like the mitochondria at 0:43-0:47 or the endoplasmic reticulum at 1:21-1:25 and then the whole alcatrazosis just so happens to look just like mitosis, so my theory is that this thing is literally a big ‘ol cell. This also makes sense cuz its a jail. (Jail… like cell? Jail-cell)
So Alcatraz island is actually some giant, single-celled organism that can self-replicate. Why it would choose to chase humans instead of rich sea life is beyond me.
"Just take a left at the endoplasmic reticulum to reach the tennis courts"
The tennis balls are ribosomes
And then you'll see the Golgi apparatus
"and over here, we see the island's state of the ark mitochondria!"
"Try walking around the Nucleus, it will be a shortcut!"
Watch your step near the cytoplasm!
Man don't you love it when you're minding your business and then over the years Alcatraz prison pulls up on the coast and decimates the entire city?
sure love chilling in China town when alcatraz just eats the fuckin city
@@boreddude3898 lol
It's just a normal Tuesday
I think the passage of times signifies ocean levels rising allowing the island to travel closer inland
Fun fact: To decimate means to take away 10%. So by saying that the city will be decimated, means only 10% will be destroyed.
This gives the phrase "The powerhouse of the cell" a whole new meaning

@@rizon72 ok didn't ask + ratio
@@rizon72technically they aren’t but to me they seem like documentaries
What I love about this episode is that I figured out the basic idea without even getting through the 1st minute, and it still had me all the way through. Wish I found this a year ago.
Shout out to the Caretaker
Thank you

No, that’s Justice.

I’m guessing no, just that it has a similar vibe to the songs used by the Caretaker, as well as how he edits them.
the song is a slowed down version of This Time Its Real by Horace Heidt
i watched the start and thought "lmao that looks like the Golgi complex" but it actually was
“Honey i need you to pick the kids up from school that fucking island came over and ate our house”
Both times I saw the "__ days before therapy" thing,I just thought of the island sitting in the stereotypical therapy chair,somehow having been shrunken down,and with a therapist sitting across from it,asking it questions. Also,I'm going to nickname the island "Alcaty" because nobody can stop me.
Your animation and editing have improved a ton, nice work
Little did we know just how important this funky little Eukaryotic island would be
Checkmate, Lunarians!

1:23 Obviously that's the Alcatraz Endoplasmic Reticulum, everyone learns that in biology class
Man I love when Alcatraz started saying “It’s Alcatrazing time!” And Alcatrazed everywhere.
The video in a nutshell:
I'm at "ALCATRAZOSIS" now-is Alcatraz a gigantic single-cellular organism?
y e s
Its in me
Admittedly, I found out about this via Wendigoons fist video about it. But after his recent upload I came over to check it out for myself and , honestly, there's a reason his videos about it are so lengthy. There's such rich development in even he most unassuming entry, and seriously Alex, what you've done here is incredible, and everyone else, show this man some love. I hope you continue creating, both inside and outside of this world you've built. Your work is captivating.
This video makes the word "prison cell" more biogically logical...
“Sir, it seems that Alcatraz is heading towards us. What will we do?”
“There is nothing we can do..”
When I first watched this episode, I just thought "huh, Alcatraz is a living organism, neat" and didn't give it any mind.
But THEN the AlcatrazApocalypse happens.
AND the Alcatraz Checkmate.
AND Donald Trump's death on Alcatraz island.
The music from this episode is engraved in my very pores, I swear, it gives me goosebumps every time I hear a reprise of its theme; the Alcatraz episode only gains more and more relevance as the story progresses.
never thought i would see cell division in an analog horror video but here we are
"Wait, it's all Alcatraz?"
"Always has been"
The music gives me caretaker vibes
Biology class paid off since I was able to recognize the shape of the organelles before being explicitly told
mitochondria is the powerhouse of the alcatraz
Fun fact: There’s an entire subsection of Alcatraz Island that was dedicated to baking bread for the prisoners’ consumption.
Everybody gangsta till the *island start walking*
THERE IS NO PROPHECY.
THERE IS ONLY ME.

RIP San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and El Paso
The scariest thing is that the simulation expected the Alcatraz Zone in 2020 to still be located in the San Francisco Harbor IF THE ISLAND WAS LET UNTOUCHED, but the nuclear treatment has accelerated the process and Alcatraz has already eaten half of the continent by that year.
Doing nothing would have saved milions of lives for decades.
I think it was the package that the Angel dropped in it that accelerated the process, not the nuclear treatment
A video claiming that Alcatraz is a gigantic sentient cell is *not* what I thought I'd see today. God I love this series and I've only just begun watching it
It's all starting to make a little more sense each time.
Alcatraz becoming a hivemind organism is the funniest thing in all of fiction
Gives the "Prison cell" a whole new meaning
We’ve come full circle. Alcatraz saved humanity
Holy balls! Who knew some minor character would be a main component/villain more than the main villain itself
"Everybody gangsta till you scape Alcatraz and the island starts chasing you"
-Al Capone, probably
these videos are genuinely amazing.
i never knew alcatraz had a golgi apparatus
That’s the endoplasmic reticulum bro
I love how mellow all the music is in this series
This soundtrack is giving me "Everywhere at the end of Time" flashbacks
Back in the day, they said you couldn’t escape Alcatraz. But they were proven wrong.
But now, you really can’t escape Alcatraz. It’s here. It’s there, everywhere.
Sometimes, something that’s proven wrong can become right. And sometimes, the consequences are nasty. Very nasty.
I loved the part where Alcatraz said “It’s Alcatrazin time” and Alcatrazed the whole American population
Ok, so I went to Alcatraz twice. Once as a kid and once as an adult. It's a creepy place with a heavy vibe. But I'm going to put my two cents in here and say that the island didn't eat dead prisoners, it fed off of live prisoners souls. I think we can see proof of that in the state of decay of the city by the bay in 2022.
If you take a look at the condition of SF these days, I'd say there isn't a soul left there. Ok, maybe a few, but whoa, it's bad.
Kinda makes you wonder if the land has placed a curse on the American people. The sins we have committed to the continent and it's people have now began to take their toll.
Lol, found the inevitable angry alt right incel.
"So it's a map of Alcatraz and... Wait is that a freaking Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?"
Get the slideshow/projected movement music as it's own thing. It's super catchy
the most terrifying thing about this series is the old timey 40s music with the crackle sound effect over it. if you know you know
It's interesting how the music is unsettling here, yet is triumphant to hear in the Nixonverse finale
"Is that a mitochondria or a golgi thing? No, that's a silly guess lmao"
Little did I know
I don’t know why I’m here, I don’t know how I’m here, all I know, I love these
i love the ads at the end of the video, help you cope with the horrible things you just watched
Weasel: "This ain't right. Something weird's going on here".
Sal: "You don't say Weasel".
Imagine you end up in Alcatraz and warden says breakfast time and you go outside to see a whole ass golgi apparatus
I really like this video. It makes you wonder not only what Alcatraz is, but also how does it move?? Does it simply float on the surface, does it have a cluster of tendrils and arms underneath that drag it along the sea bed… it’s left to the imagination.
"Hey Bobby you still want to go on that fishing trip?"
"I don't know let me check the weather real quick"
**Looks out window**
"Well it doesn't look like a storm is approaching so- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"
The surveillance society was proposed by Thomas More to account for his version of what a Utopia might be like. The panopticon was the prisons concept for blinding prisoners to the idea they were all being watched all the time. Orwell’s 1984 proposed a similar system with telescreens. Out in the wide world away from closed institutions there had to be a way of evoking the same feeling. Fear is easy to spread with good media. Surveillance, like an island is a metaphor for isolation.
Wow...
This series is interesting as it seems like these occurrences are an accepted facet of life not unlike natural disasters; the thing under Liberty, the Alcatraz cell, they're all just dangerous natural phenomena.
What im getting at here is alcatraz is basically its own form of living entity that is trying to expand a zone idk but love the video anyways
At school our class just finished reading the book (Al Capone does my shirts) and I’m happy I had that book so I can better understand this video :)
There are so many puns and dad jokes in this comment section and I love it.
......Colonel, you there?
I remember visiting the real alcatraz awhile back; it was earlier in the day in the fall on a weekday, so not a lot of other tourists around, and the atmosphere was just quiet and cursed. I've been to a lot of the other locations in the series, but this is easily the most believable
bro this is weird but I let my 2 year old niece have one of my earbuds while I was watching this & she just stared at the computer & listened for like ten minutes LMAO and she’s super high energy, so ig the shining music chilled her out
I just realized, throughout the video you can see a bunch of parts of a animal cell in the layout of the island, like the mitochondria at 0:43-0:47 or the endoplasmic reticulum at 1:21-1:25 and then the whole alcatrazosis just so happens to look just like mitosis, so my theory is that this thing is literally a big ‘ol cell. This also makes sense cuz its a jail. (Jail… like cell? Jail-cell)
Alcatraz: imma do a pro gamer move
So Alcatraz island is actually some giant, single-celled organism that can self-replicate. Why it would choose to chase humans instead of rich sea life is beyond me.
Simple, it floats over the surface.
Ladies and gentlemen, rejoice! For San Francisco has finally been wiped off the map.
The Last Son of Alcatraz will sit the throne
