Question... How did the smokers make gunpowder? 😏
The Valdez held 37.000 tons of oil, most likely they became stupid because they were so ludicrously wealthy they could just buy their way out of any bad decision, much like trust fund kids of today crashing their Ferrari and getting another one the next day.
"that these degenerates can remain so filthy in a water world is genuinely impressive". Brilliant.
Professional lack of decency
The combination of saltwater and sun is brutal for the skin. You'd never want to bathe in it consistently.
Like radiation in Mad Max, exposure in saltwater will cause some hideous rashes, boils and even deformities.
@@user-ct8my8rv9cThen what do they drink?
That oil slave who said “Thank god” when someone dropped a flare into the oil is unironically my favorite character in the movie.
Absolutely 😂 I get it
My brother and I saw this as kids and heard "holy dang god" and grew up saying that all the time. Only found out it was "thank God" last year, immediately called my bro
*God
@@JESUSisLORD7788 *dog
Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Smoker who looked at the explosion heading his way and went “oh thank god” is such a damn Mood
Ok. Few things. I loved the smokers and Deacon. He, and they, were absolutely over-the-top-hilarious. They really were. The only thing funnier than watching Dennis Hopper chew the scenery as the Deacon, is listening to MZ's deadpan, snarky, spot-on descriptions of the smokers and how unbelievably stupid, clumsy, and short-sighted they are. Made my day. 10/10
Dr. Freeze and Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin. You have one villain who wants to destroy humanity to have the plants take over the world. You have another that wants to put the Earth in an eternal ice age. They are working together. Do you see the problem with that?
I assume they have an alliance of temporary convenience.
Alot of Plants just dont too well in frost im afraid unless poison ivy wants to be called poison parsnip as they will grow in frost
Yea, it's like the LBGTQ community, joining that religion that must not be named anywhere, to fight the man. Perfect ignorant insanity.
@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan Islam. But lets be honest here not all Muslims are alike.
Poison ivy in the movie itself claims that she can manipulate her plants to not only survive in the freezing temperatures but also thrive in them.
I was really impressed by how quickly one can swim down from the surface to explore the ruins of former coastal cities and how much sunlight was getting down that far, considering only the top of Mount Everest was still above sea level.
This is definitely a movie you shut your brain off for.
@@jeffreyhejny7522 Yeah.
@@wolf1066 Flatearther would think this is how water just work
Everest is 8,848 M above sea level
K2 is 8,646 M above sea level
So in order for Everest to me the only place on earth still above sea level. The oceans would have needed to rise by at least 8,647M
New York is 10 M above sea level
8,647 M - 10 M = New york would be 8,647M below sea the surface
For comparison, challenger deep is the deepest part of the ocean, is only 10,929 M below sea level.
@@Ometochtli Yep. They sure as hell wouldn't be diving down to the level of New York with the same ease as snorkelling off the coast is today.
The pressure would be horrific, there'd be bugger-all light filtering down that far and it would take ages to get down and coming up would be an even slower process to avoid getting the bends.
If coastal towns were as accessible as they showed in that movie, there'd be numerous islands dotted all over the place - Many parts of New Zealand *alone* would be above sea level (which would mean people would actually *want* to go to Waiouru for once!)
The fact that gasoline and diesel have a shelf life of about a year before it starts seriously degrading... Either the smokers have somehow mastered stabilizing 200 year old fuel, or they've built the toughest engines humanity has ever seen.
There was a second tanker, and it was full of a shit ton of Sta Bilt 😂
Next series will be "Good guys too dumb to live."
I really do want that. There are simply far too many of them out there.
You know, it never occurred to me before that Shaggy would have a last name.
@b12 o ha ha White people bad how funny and original
that would be like all of them... honestly, being a good guy is fucking stupid.
@@ALIEN-DUDE I thought that the white people were always the bad guy... or at least that is what everyone says in the current year.
Burglars from Home Alone.
Especially the espionage mercenaries in the third movie
The Wet Bandits shouldn't be on this list. Their cop routine was pretty smart and how do you fight a little psycho?
@@angrytheclown801 shoot him?
@@angrytheclown801 Burn the house down and rob some other place?
@@Rakaziel I say tip off a few other criminals the place is full of rich stuff protected by a child and leave.
In the same world - A civilization doomed to disapear: aka Everyone else. The world is completely covered by water, yet the few survivors hate and kill the rare mutants that are actually able to breathe underwater.
which are also potential gold mines.
Quite possible for humanity. We act pretty dumb sometimes.
@Lassi Kinnunen While we are at the premise: What are they drinking? Seawater isn't exactly something you can survive on.
@@casbot71 Nope kill them. The settlement that the girl was living in offered the MC money to impregnate a few girls because they had been inbreeding to much and they needed fresh DNA added to their gene pool. Then they found out he was a mutant and was locked up with plans to execute him in the morning.
@AJKiesel They were collecting rain water and using filters to make whatever fluid they could find drinkable. MC was filtering his own piss because it was easier to make drinkable than sea water(according to him anyway).
People persecuting/killing their own would-be savior... is actually the most believable part of this movie.
To be totally fair to the smokers, I think they realize finding Enola is their last chance. They know they're fucked if they don't get to dry land, and they have no other options, so it's basically a desperation tactic: they've just gone all-in on getting her and her tattoo knowing they're doomed otherwise.
💯💯💯. Desperation brings out the worst in people
The Master from Fallout 1. He is literally plot holed to death. He is a genius that uses a mutagenic substance to create an army of mostly idiotic supersoldiers and establish a cult that worship him to bolster his numbers. Until he is presented with evidence that his mutants can't breed. Reproduction being one of the two basic attributes any living organism must have to survive along with consumption of resources. Reminder that this guy isn't just smart, he's a massive organic computer that is also attached to the machinery of an entire Vault.And above all that he is also psychic, so powerful that he can injure people just by proximity.And what does this brainy boy do when you confront him with evidence?Does he simply go back to his work, using his massive material and technological resources to eliminate this sterility issue and maybe even give his mutants a more effective means of reproduction? Of course not. He blows himself up along with a good chunk of his resources and troops. He does this during a mental breakdown due to guilt. Instead of just passing on all his knowledge, he just burns it all away, leaving the world in an even worse state and his mutants to wonder aimlessly. If he won, he would probably end up being the last living being on Earth.Until the Zetans invade and start experimenting on him.
he lost hope, so he didn't care about humanity anymore also im pretty sure you overestimate the knowledge he has
the supermutant army's tech wasn't that much greater than brotherhood of steel, in fact, since they didn't use power armors i dare say they were less than that. but they had the vats with FEV.
the supermutants weren't always sterile, the pureblood supermutants can breed, its people of the wastes that turn out dumb and infertile
@@wilhelmu Never heard of pure mutants being fertile, just that they don't come out dumb because they don't have a natural resistance to FEV like the wastelanders who have been exposed to a mutant strain. FEV attacks the gametes because it considers them damaged cells, rendering mutants sterile. The only time I ever heard about mutants being fertile is a claim by Marcus that Chris Avellone claimed was a joke.
The Master also experimented on Deathclaws and those don't seem to have a problem breeding. Some even became sentient and intelligent.
@@wilhelmu whar pureblod mutants?
@@heitorpedrodegodoi5646 it's what happens after you dip a pureblood human(like people from vault 13) in vats, they mutate properly and don't lose their intelligence due to not having developed immunity to FEV
Maybe the previous leaders of the Smokers conserved and gathered resources, and Hopper took leadership and was running them into the "ground."
Hopper's reign was also something like 3-4 generations into the apocalypse if it was 200 years later. This would kind of mean he has the dumbest and most inbred crew possible. Even if the previous Captains were a bit more reasonable he was left the dregs. Though the fact his crew is so bad also kind of points the previous captains weren't that great either.
At least in terms of being decent enough to recruit new people to widen the gene pool. Heck they couldn't even seem to capture women to force them into it....
Yeah, none of these people would have gone to school, they just have some minor lessons passed on orally over generations.
By the time Deacon took over it was literally like a small child in a mans body.
@@JustaGuy_Gaming thats not that much inbreeding. you have thousands of people on the tanker and it had to have been a few hundred in the past. That is not a lot of inbreeding. For inbreeding to be a problem you need a very small population over a long time or very close relatives.
@@planescaped nonsense. People don't need school to be adults- in fact living in hash conditions make people more prone to maturity and education does not necessarily make you intelligent.
Considering the harsh and unforgiving world none of those people would be "child in a mans body"
That is more like today- its plenty that breeds that kind of thing not scarcity.
@@MrChickennugget360 Yes and no. Inbreeding can be a problem within a single generation depending on the quality of people you start out with and how many genetic flaws they carry. I think in this case the big issue would be they seem to have a lot of men and very few women.
Given they don't seem to be smart enough to steal and rape women of the places they raid... It is very likely they were all related within a generation or two.
After seeing several others suggest Voldemort, I was going to second him and suggest talking about his irrational hatred and xenophobia towards muggles that results in utter ignorance of their technology that could be used to his advantage. But then I realized, this problem applies to the wizard society as a whole. The entire wizarding world cut itself off in the late 17th century due to the International Statute of Secrecy, and as a consequence their level of technological advancement stagnated as they became completely reliant on magic. The wizards are so backwards, they don't know what a gun is, even though the first practical firearms date back to the 14th century. They don't know what makes airplanes fly, even though mundane birds and flying insects exist in their world. Their understanding of medicine is based on magic, meaning they would be completely helpless against modern diseases. They have no understanding of practical science, and seem to have regressed in this regard, so they'd be outmatched when it comes to biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons.
Had either side in the conflict gotten over their elitism and willful ignorance and recruited muggles to help, or appropriated their technology, it could have quickly turned the tide of the war. Guns fire faster and kill more easily than wands, and the same goes for bombs and long range missiles. However, since this would be more an examination of the entire wizarding world, and they're not exactly an advanced sci-fi civilization for your other series, it might be more appropriate for a separate series on popular fantasy civilizations.
There's been a few fan-fics dealing with this. The end result is usually the magic users getting their arses handed to them on a platter via a modern UK military using all the goodies they have available in one of the most one-sided battles in history.
They have no need for technology though that is the point. What need is there for an airplane when you could enchant anything to make it fly including cleaning instruments. What need do they need for a printing press when they can just poof this things into existence, no mining, no cutting down trees or lumber mills, what need is a doctor or medicine when you have spells that cure all diseases and spells that increase your longevity?
They break the laws of science and are not bound to any of its laws or rules, they are for all intensive purposes above science and the laws of nature.
@@Donbd83 Except the wizarding world has its share of problems they are ill-suited to deal with, the war with Voldemort being a prime example. The books themselves go into detail about the limitations and shortcomings of magic, which incidentally is one of the weaker systems of magic in fiction. Magic can't create infinite resources, it can't affect things on a large scale, it has very strict requirements for use, and its practitioners have a limited and restricted understanding of how it works. It's not like the wizards can survive without any technology either, they still use 17th century technology in their everyday lives and use magic to compensate for the rest. Besides, in any magical setting, the wands, foci, artifacts, and trinkets technically count as forms of technology as well.
Even the most powerful wizards can't just conjure wealth into existence or live forever. The plot of the very first book revolved around an extremely rare substance, the Philosopher's / Sorcerer's Stone, that could create gold and make a potion of longevity. If such magical effects were so commonplace and easy, then why was the Stone such a big deal and why was Voldemort so desperate to possess it?
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 "Except the wizarding world has its share of problems they are ill-suited to deal with, the war with Voldemort being a prime example." You mean like every peaceful people ever this is not a fault of magic but ideology. People like Voldemort are oddities, it is like stating that our societies themselves have had protections from such psychopaths, Hitler, Genghis Khan, Attila, Alexander, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Vlad the Impaler the list is damn near endless, a fault of men not the technology or magic in this case.
Technology is bound to the laws of nature one cannot fly without taking into account all the laws of nature and finding a way to operate in those parameters, magic need not follow those rules that is very definition of magic the usage of a supernatural force, super meaning above or greater and nature so a force above or greater than nature.
If you can affect things on a micro scale you can affect on a macro you just need to do it piece by piece, the big is always made up by the small.
"If such magical effects were so commonplace and easy, then why was the Stone such a big deal and why was Voldemort so desperate to possess it?
" Because Voldemort didn't have the knowledge to create such a thing maybe? Why cannot every human create a rocketship, a car, a sword? Men created them obviously but only very few possess such knowledge, the same would be true with wizards you are going to have some of extraordinary ability able to create something like The Philospher's Stone while the majority will fumble basic cantrips, no different than normal individuals.
@Templar Knight Agreed. Personally I prefer settings where magic and technology are integrated, such as a sci-fi setting with a system of practical magic or psionics, a cyberpunk setting, a steampunk setting, you name it. After all, in just about every fantasy setting, magic is studied through scientific means. Magical research and development is essentially the technology of the world. It doesn't make sense to keep them separate for centuries, especially when the magic users need to devote a ton of effort and resources to maintaining the flimsy masquerade. As others have pointed out, the wizards could have been a professional class in an integrated society, providing magical services for a fee, similar to how things work in plenty of other fantasy settings.
Dennis hopper never played a role, in his every movie he was just playing himself.
Awesome
Just like Will Smith.
Imagine a movie with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken as leaders of different factions in an uneasy alliance.

"That is a non sequitur, would you please pass me a burrito?" Well, thats something I thought I'd ever hear in Star Trek, let alone from Tuvok.
The problem with Waterworld is that they spent all the dosh on buying and trash-ifying all the boats. They didn't have enough over for the green skin pain. Clearly the smokes are a bunch of WH 40K Orks that got reeeally lost.

voldemort- if he had literally ignored harry potter and turned his massive army against the muggles strait away he would have forced the good guys to come to him. if he ignored harry potter perhaps no one would have even known harry was a horcrux and if he lost the big one he would have lived on in harry.
But what was his endgoal all along? I meam after killing harry.
Probably his brain addled by Bellatrix's bds-
Voldemort would have lost to anyone with a machine gun. His "army" was about 50 witches strong and they were all also vulnerable to people with machine guns. Any modern infantryman is superior to Voldemort.
Huh..... a few thousand minor magic users with a few dozen sorcerers and a major sorcerer terrorist vs over 200 nations along with over several million soldiers, serivcemen, airmen, marines of many ages with drones, jet aircraft, APC's, tactical nukes and orbital network systems.
As stupid as that would be to face humanity that would be fucking awesome!!

Hell, maybe Deacon took over from his old man, given how bloodthirsty he is as an anagram to ye olden day pirates.

Yea and that’s dumb coz that is never said in waterworld
I didn’t know the pilot was jack black 😂😂
Jack Black has a tendency to show up in a lot of movies where you wouldn't expect him.
Nobody did coz his other scenes were cut
The story of "the smokers" if they were instead good guys searching systematically for dry land and recruiting more people to help would have been 1000 times better than what happened in the movie. And yes I foolishly saw this in theaters as a kid. One of those mistakes you chalk up to experience...
Even if it would take them hundreds of years to rule the entire ocean and develop it would give humanity a chance to make underwater cities, flying communities and possibly space expansion through using the combined centuries of salvaged knowledge.
At least it was more creative than Postman
@@Rakaziel Fair enough, although i actually think the postman idea could have worked if done right too...
I would have preferred your idea. I avoided it in the cinema, I'm not a Kevin Costner fan.
i thought it was hilarious even as a kid that they spent so many resources on stupid shit like jetski fights when they could have set up floating farms or something like that. If you have a massive army and tons of resources why not set up a large farming and trading operation and use the profits to search for land? He could have easily turned his pirate army into a real empire, then if he controlled the land he'd be the single most powerful empire on earth. I also never understood as a kid why nobody found the ONLY land on earth, early Humans found Hawaii using stone age technology while the smokers had jetskis, spies, giant floating cities, and simple planes.
I really loved Waterworld such an original concept
I want to give it another chance but I was so uncomfortable watching it when I was six
My dad was the one who wanted to see it which is crazy because he hates sci-fi
"That they can stay this dirty in a waterworld is genuinely impressive" 🤣🤣🤣
The dude from Demolition Man he unfreezes Wesley Snipes to kill a guy 'safe' in the knowledge that he's been conditioned not to harm him then he lets him unfreeze a load of other criminals and doesn't see the problem with that then gets shot by one of them when Wesley Snipes just turns to one of the others and tells him to kill him...
Yeah that was uncharacteristically stupid of him.
THIS
I was going to include that entire civilisation in my other series. Since that dude was some kind of leader, he definitely won't avoid the skewer.
Well...to be honest, he didn't ALLOW wesley to unfreeze others.
The guy just had the intelligence to figure it out. It was a surprise to the dude too.
But...he did give tthe knowledge of complicated shit to wesley..so hes still stupid
@@agonleed3841 Yeah I mean he programmed him to be basically an unstoppable force what exactly was his end game after he'd served his purpose? Not like he was going to stop and the police couldn't do shit...
Ingen's bioweapons division. Every single "super" raptor they have made has been defeated by a regular raptor. and their security force couldn't even hit the broad side of a dinosaur
also weyland-yutani from Aliens are pretty stupid villains too.
True. Also if a super raptor attacked a regular division? 1 50.cal shot. Dead
Yutani seems to be comfortable with sacrificing all their workers so id say malicious rather than stupid
Templar Knight didn't the raptor project involve pointing a rifle at a target to shine a laser which causes the raptor to attack instead of just pulling the trigger?
Forgot about the rocket launcher guy killing one of blue's sisters?
What
If they wanted to make bioweapons in this day and age (in fact, in any day and age) that would be effective as technology progresses, you would kind of have to give them either human-level intelligence or otherwise give them the ability to self-improve, which comes with its own set of problems.
In fact, my overactive imagination came up with just this idea for a fan fiction, based off of The Isle: Evrima. Humans end up giving Strain dinos human intelligence in order to allow them to keep up with tech and combine multiple Strains into single dinos, which bites them in the a$$ when their only three successful attempts at combining the Magna (a perfected version of the Hyperendocrin Strain), Neurotenic, and Tissoplastic Strains into single hybrid organisms break free and rally the uplifted dinos against their creators (these three creatures being hybrid dinosaurs with quetzalcoatlus, utahraptor, and mosasaurus bases respectively).
For context:
Magna & Hyperendocrin: Give increased size, physical strength, and toughness (Hypo dinos have the disadvantage of needing to eat even more than normal)
Neurotenic: Increases size, intelligence (so these dinos would be even smarter than humans) and powers that border on the supernatural
Tissoplastic: Specialized in camouflaged, speed, stealth, and espionage, and be able to utilize toxins
TL;DR: Human give dinosaurs human-level intelligence and superpowers and the dinosaurs rebel.
that tanker destroyed scene when that old man say Thank u knowing his miserable life will end. was geniunly emotional n funny scene in the film.
Every round they fire has a brass jacket. Copper is pretty much literally irreplacable. I mean if you were really smart you could get some from squid blood but how often do you get a lot of that? But there's no attempt to save the discarded jackets as they tumble into the sea. Brass from ammunition is reused several times even now but they don't try to do so.
You CAN'T always re-use ALL cartridge brass. If the case is thin-walled, more than one charge would, likely, split it, making it very dangerous; having the breech of your firearm
explode in your face is NOT exactly a PLEASANT experience
True you can't reuse every case but on average you should get to use a case several times before it's defunct. Even thin walled cases can be melted down and recast. This is much easier than maintaining jetskis for 200 years. If you can do that you can definitely figure out how to make a working cartridge.
And at the point of melting it down they could easily fabricate other things from it.
I am going to get so much flak for this but SPECTRE missed a lot of opportunities to kill Bond when they could.
alot of bond villains are just dicks for the sake of being dicks, whereas most real life bond villains are evil for the sake of power and/or profit and will act good if it gets them what they want.
And they always killed the one who had a good plan, and let the one who screwed it up to try again. Which, of course, they screwed up and got killed anyway.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, who stacks bodies like she stacks stolen cash.

When I first saw this movie as a teen I was more mystified at how they propelled an oil tanker with just manpower and oars.
Gasoline has a shelf life of about a year. I don't see any refining equipment at that tanker; how the Smokers have any suitable amount of gasoline for their vehicles, is beyond me.
Most people are wholly ignorant of how fuel and engines work. Petroleum is effectively a magic liquid that goes into a magic box that makes things move.
Petroleum is magical to those who know what to do with it. A truly remarkable substance.

"what's next, mad max on ice?" Didn't Snowpiercer come out like 5 years ago?
Speaking of the cigarette waste, growing tobacco would strip all of the resources from the little precious soil they have.
Donny Biggerstaff I mean you say that, but the amount of waste (human, trash, and otherwise) that the smokers themselves must be generating would be enough for the amount of dirt they have to not only grow but also become more fertile. It'd be a very weird dirt with no clay or sand (though it's possible other particulate matter or fibers they have access to/ create could help with this) but it'd work to grow some stuff anyway. It's almost inconcievable that no one would have thought of this over time or even accidentally discovered it by having a trash/ waste pile, just another major plothole (just like how the salt content of the water must be hilariously low given the amount of water it'd take to cover most of the world, probably making it drinkable if needing boiling for safety given how everyone seems to be shitting in the water).
Looks like all the cigs are prerolled in packs. i assume they found a tanker full of them

my whole thing about that show is they have been studying this sub species for years......testing on human subjects for years.........captured many powerful versions of this species and held them for YEARS and seem to have no way to fight them at all..............rrrrriiiiigggghhhht
@Maintenance Renegade well they did think this sub species was a higher being and wanted nothing more than to replace the human race with them........so perhapes this is why they didn't make ways to fight them. thus no bombs in necks (shrug)
that...is not just Elfen Lied but 90% of all anime villains
yeah. you'd think they would come up with special ammo or guns or something to kill them...given how dangerous they are. must be cheaper to send in hundreds upon hundreds of soldiers I guess.
Don't forget, the creepy old guy wanted to (and does) spread the Diclonius virus because he mistakenly believed a myth about his family's horns and believed Lucy would accept him, and that he found her mother and raped her, producing a boy who Lucy promptly kills along with the creeper. There is a lot to be found there.
The Mangalores and Zorg from the Fifth Element.
To be fair, the Mangalores being to stupid to win is the reason they are force to work for Zorg.
Man, "Zorg" has to be the most cliched sci-fi name there is. I mean, "Borg" was already cliched, but then you go spell it with a "Z"?!
(And I like the Fifth Element!)
I don't think that counts, Zorg didn't really wanna win, it was actually better if he lost and Mr Shadow died
The entire movie, of course, is ludicrous. According to the movie, the top of Mt. Everest is only 70M above sea level, since that's how much the oceans would rise if every scrap of ice melted. And keep in mind, that is ONLY IF THE COASTLINE DOESN'T MOVE AS THE SEA RISES.
As far as I know, NO ONE has ever taken the trouble to actually take into account the increase in the ocean surface area as the water rises to get a more precise number for ocean rise, taking into account the actual topography and increased surface area of the ocean as it rises. Since every coastline is not a 70m high vertical cliff, and is often quite flat for quite a ways inland, there is a lot more volume to fill than they've taken into account.
One time in a logistics course in college we played a game about running a fishing fleet. My team was doing poorly and as the game went on it was clear that our class was overfishing the oceans to the point of imminent extinction. So on the last turn my team bought all the boats the other teams were selling and sent them all out at once to scour the oceans of all life. In my head we turned our enormous fleet to piracy after the entire aquatic ecosystem collapsed.
That's the level these boys are operating on: bored college juniors who may or may not be day drunk.
Do you have Tuvok quote for everything?
Yes. Yes, I do.
It is the most logical course of action.
There's a Tuvok for every occasion.
Albert Wesker - Resident Evil 5. He could have won if he bided his time in completing his virus, but instead unleashed Parasites in Africa, thus guaranteeing the heroes would get involved and stop him.
@Templar Knight no no you want their full stupidity on display? this is a SECRET operation that loves to perform large test right out side of major labs.........(no this was not a containment breach but a plan) no wonder the good guys win the bad guys of resident evil just love being in the spot light
Los Illuminados from Resident Evil 4. Their plan hinges on kidnapping the president's daughter and infecting her with a mind-controlling parasite; releasing her back into the US so she can then infect the president with another parasite, allowing the cult to control the US. Seems like a solid plan. What do they do throughout the game? Try to kill her on several occasions! To their credit, they do try to re-capture her frequently, both in cutscenes and during gameplay where villagers will chuck her over their shoulder and carry her off unless you save her ("Leeeonnnn, Heeeeeelp!"); but they also attempt to murder her several times in the game, making the villains seem wildly inconsistent. They should have just let Leon save her and
return her to the US, then they'd basically win.
@@spencerc4252 The point of infecting the world for Wesker was nothing but a mind experiment. The outcome would have been fatal. But Wesker did not care about this, since he wanted to create an utopia.
@@spencerc4252 According to the creators, his biggest problem seems to be that he didn't really understand that Ouroboros would have eventually even kill him, so one can infer that he might have just underestimated the virus or overestimated the rest of the human race- he might have believed that there was a higher population of "exceptional humans" out there than there really was (and of course didn't realise that even these would still die).
He might also think that since they are superhuman, the fact that they would be a tiny fraction of the human race spread all over the world would be a minor inconvenience for them, and that eventually they would find each other and rebuild the world better than before due to their own sheer awesomeness. So I guess he thought he was sending humanity back to the Stone Age, but making up for it by injecting a new breed of humans who can make something better in a few generations.
Kind of like playing Civ 6 for the first time, getting near the end and realising you made a bunch of mistakes, so you just press the reset button and start again with a better idea of where you went wrong and how to fix it, and adding a cheat code to choose Ubermenschen as your new starting civ.
@@spencerc4252 Well, my own personal head canon is that the brainwashing Spencer used to summon him in the flashback is still somehow in effect, and Wesker is too programmed to realise the insanity of what he's actually doing.
Or maybe he's counting on the virus rewriting the genetics of animal and plant life and "improving" them as well, creating. whole new environment. And maybe he's willing to wait who-knows-how-long for this Neo-biological utopia to be able to support civilisation again.
But yeah, I realise I'm just trying to make sense out of the nonsensical. At the absolute best, his plan was not explained properly, and more likely it just wasn't thought through that well by the producers, who squandered a lot of potential that game started off with.
I absolutely love waterworld. Fun fact number one, most people think this movie bombed but it actually did not bomb and it made a profit. And up until like the last 10 or 15 years the bolt that Kevin Costner was using in the movie was kept at universal studios in the lake Park that's in the middle of the theme park. Now I believe it's on the back lot and you can't see it now. But they also have the train and the car from back to the Future there too. Absolutely love this movie and the postman
Steppenwolf and the bug guys from justice league.
Steppenwolf would've won if it wasn't for Superman. And the bug guys are called parademons. Get your facts straight.
@@RedDusk369
First, I knew the bugs' name but I couldn't be bothered.
If Steppenwolf and his army of jimbages had some good foresight, they would've been able to take over the world.
Think about it.
The justice league were basically useless without superman, so they could have just taken his body.
They also needed a better way to terraform planets.
It's somehow worse than the Kryptonian's.
Why have 3 cubes when you could have one cube?
@@user-rm1jp6hf5h Good foresight? Wouldn't that apply to ALL bad guys if we go by that logic? Besides there has been dozens of movies where the bad guys had some convoluted way to terraform the planet. I don't see how any of those movies aren't getting the same flak as Steppenwolf's plan.
@@RedDusk369
Honesty, I haven't seen a lot of films that have done that.
Maybe I missed a few.
Now that I think about it though, wasn't Steppenwolf's army invading because they knew superman was dead?
@@user-rm1jp6hf5h That should be the case cause in the extended cut of Batman v Superman, Lex Luthor was able to communicate with Steppenwolf but to be fare, we don't know if Lex told Steppenwolf that Superman is dead. In the Justice League trailer it was noted that Superman is dead but he said "No Krytonians." Actually that wouldn't matter cause he's been referring Superman as krytonian. It was stated that Steppenwolf has conquered like dozens of worlds before coming to Earth. So I guess we were supposed to assume that Steppenwolf and his fellow New Gods have learned about the Krytonians and what they are capable of during their galactic expanding war. So I believe Steppenwolf just waited for the Greek Gods and the old alliance to die out and Superman to be gone before he tried to take over Earth again. Maybe we'll learn more the Snyder cut.
"Building sail boats is an absoulete must."
Or is it an absoulete mast?
After Waterworld I had hoped there would be a Mad Max in space as well. But alas, there's not even steampunk Mad Max with sky bandits.
"What's next? Mad Max on ice?"
Glances awkwardly at Snowpiercer
Hell yeah, this looks like a nice successor.
The cinematic Lex Luther. All three of him.
Well, I'll give you all the matches in the world and a canister of crude oil. If you set it on fire, you are the greatest man that ever lived.
Find some seeds/saplings, start lumber growing and milling, and make the world a giant boat.
Any unskilled labor will learn to row and take shifts.
And the crazy part is in my opinion if you don't have a good villain then you don't have a good movie.
Thats not crazy, that is how movies work -.-
you can have a _dumb_ villain without them necessarily being _bad_ but its hard to have a good story with a bad villain. Typically though if your villain is evil for the sake of being evil even if it hurts their chances of winning is retarded. I hate it when the villain goes out of their way to be evil even if it makes it nearly impossible for them to succeed in their plans.
@@arthas640 So I would assume you're not a fan of the Austin Power movies.
you don't need a good villian, just an interesting one.
@@grapeshot Well, Dr. Evil is supposed to be satire, and he works well in that regard.
Fantastic. Just rewatched the Sci Fi civilisations today and you upload a new video. Great comedic style man!
The Smokers had the capabilities to built a planet wide empire and rebuilt the world anew.
Just finished watching the Skynet episode and now starting the entire playlist from the beginning. And man, I LOVE IT when Tuvok explains what we just saw or emphasizes on what you just said. Excellent !
I loved Dennis Hopper in Waterworld.
I know a lot of them are newer but you really should do more of these dystopian films. President Snow in the Hunger games could really use an ep.
I almost think Elma Coin is even dumber/worse if he'd been in charge, like she didn't realize someone would realize she's an evil replacing another evil? if it wasn't Katniss, it would've been someone else. She didn't need to go that far and Snow revealing that just proved her want for power was sickening. However President Snow more or less never takes the resistance seriously or bothers to monitor it as if it's a total joke and as a result a whole regime that outlasted the star wars empire like 4x is taken down. That literally makes no sense, even without the star wars reference there.
If this was the fire safety video at work I would have stayed awake AND taken notes
The Voyager clip of them on the beach just killed me, that was genuine gold.
Great video! I am pumped to see a new to dumb series. Keep making awesome content!
I would go for 'The Hand' from Marvel's Ironfist and Defenders series on Netflix, their leadership is fractured, their goals change with the blowing of the breeze, and if they decided for one instant to arm their agents with automatic weapons instead of swords most of the heroes would be in body bags.
*THIS*
I loved the first season of Daredevil but the hand made me hate the show with their absolute stupidity (It also work both ways, they have to write out Punisher from the defenders, since he would kill Electra in first episode).
Dude , the dirty on the water world joke was brilliant . You are good !
just found your channel and watched a few videos - these Tuvak references are amazing XD touch of random genius
Awh yes!! When I saw you had a video it just made the next 15 min of my life like waaaay better thanks
Try the aliens from Plan 9 From Outer Space. If you can discover plans 1-8 and why they were even worse than slowly resurrecting the dead to defeat humanity with slow, stupid zombies, that would be great. If that movie is too much of a low hanging fruit then try Skeletor from He-Man! Thanks for the videos, they are always entertaining.
“You see?! You’re stupid minds! Stupid…stupid…stupid…”
I love the Tuvok cut scenes!!! That alone makes your videos bad ass.
Funny thing about Waterworld is that if there were enough ice in the world to cover all the dry land when it melted then it would dilute the saltwater enough to make it drinkable for humans.
The Human Invaders in Battle for Terra (2007)
Outstanding my man. This is a perfect inaugural episode for this concept.
May I nominate the vampires from the Movie/Comic book 'Priest' as a future idea?
LOVE the new series!! This is one of the best damn channels on TH-cam hands down. I can watch these videos over and over again and they still make me laugh my ass off. :-)
According to the comics, the ice caps didn’t have enough water to flood the earth but they did begin the flooding.
There was years of impacts from meteorites of pure ice that rapidly continued the flooding.
There are comics?
This is gonna be a good series
as long as they cut the star trek shit
The Necromongers from the Riddick Series😏😏
Holy shizz, this series and this episode is so wildly funny. Thank you so much for the many laughs!
Villains to stupid to win: Decepticons.
If you're willing to do Literary Villains, I recommend the various Vermin Warlords, Pirate Captains, and other baddies who try to take over Redwall or Salamandastron, only to get their tails kicked, their heads lopped off, crushed by bells, drown, filled with arrows, or bitten by something with a deadly bite. Only a few decide "Redwall? Not worth fighting those guys at all." and instead resort to kidnapping, but that still causes their demise. Then there's the fact that the leaders tend to be vicious backstabbers, sometimes literally, and try to kill their supposed allies, or alienate their supporters, even killing those who question them, even over trivial reasons. Also, don't forget about those who engage in the slave trade, who have tendency to overly abuse them, which causes revolts. Then there's a few who make foolish blunders that get everyone that follows them killed.
I mean, over all, most would have been better off making an alliance with Redwall, as the place is famous for their food and their healer's skills. Also, if they were smart enough to actually work with their allies, with neither side trying to backstab the other, more things could be done. As for slaves, replace that with paid servants and laborers.
After all, these vermin have access to decent ships that could facilitate trade with distant lands. Most are decent with their weapons, they could patrol the roads between settlements, dealing with threats that are a danger to all. Some might even turn to more mundane pursuits like farming and crafting, which means that raiding is unnecessary. So many things.
Instead, it seems that every vermin has one plan - Add my name to the list of those slain by Redwall and their friends.
The matrix. Why can't the computer just delete the unnecessary programs?
Like which ones?
@@bwarrior83 Smith
@@Toto-95 Smith was a virus. I'm sure you know how viruses operate, right?
The whole point of the Matrix is the balancing of forces
The computer needs the humans to think they have free will
And the humans need to have something to fight against
It's right in the 1st movie
@@bwarrior83
No, Smith was a corrupted program. Neo is the virus here, quite literally, since he's the one that corrupts Smith. That said the whole Matrix is a jumbled mess and programs being self aware is retarded so there's that.
@Solarius Spinister
Given that the machines feed off of humans' natural biochemical electricity(a retarded power source in and of itself since we're nowhere near as efficient as fossil fuels, nuclear power or any of the other means they could explore - including solar despite the Matrix' retarded physics) neither the computer nor the humans really need anything. The machines would be far better off inducing technical brain death in all human subjects and harvesting them that way.
In truth, the machine for harvesting energy from humans would probably expend more power than it produces itself, not to mention the absolutely immense power cost of running the matrix, even the most cursory examination of The Matrix trilogy reveals it to be absolutely retarded on almost every level(hence it's reputation as "deep for dudebros"). The Matrix is a dumb action movie, a great dumb action movie, but definitively dumb nonetheless. It's also derivative humbug!
Benedict from Last Action Hero. "Because here, in this world, the bad guys can win!"
As near as I can guess, "Water World" is just "Mad Max" at sea. The Deacon leads a ruthless pirate crew that has raided and knocked off everyone less violent and claimed their resources. The shabby state of the Atoll is partially a function of it being one of the last in existence. The Smokers never planned on changing since, up until recently, they had no need to. To the Deacon, "Dryland" is just the ultimate raiding target, mythically full of so much potential loot that they can live large. The goofiness of Dennis Hopper's performance is caused by the fact that the character was written to parody all sorts of real-life figures at the end of the 20th Century.
Cobra, from GI Joe. Hydra, A.I.M. The Hand Ninja Clan.
The Red Skull's Hydra is pretty stupid, but not as much. Red Skull saw that he is stronger than Hitler, so he went rogue and fight with Captain America. A massive bomber that can reach America in a couple hours and American airplanes can't shot it down? Brilliant. And why not paint English on the city names? It's not like any American can get in the plane in a good scenario.
Post-war Hydra infiltrates SHIELD and used SHIELD resources to secretly plot their comeback. They also learned that, as Zola mentioned, if they take away freedom, there will be more who resists. Their plan? Make the world so fucked up that people are willing to let go of freedom in favor of security. Why do you think those security council members approved project Icarus (the helicarriers)? Because they need a better way to respond to world threats. Which Hydra capitalized on.
Just to add the entire country of Chile is extremely high above sea level, so there is that....
Kylo Ren and the 1st order should make this series. Weakest and most incompetent bad guys ever
