This scene was amazeballs. After I saw it though, I wondered why there aren't more robots in the Expanse, besides for drones. Seems like we have more robots today than they do 200 years in the future.
Oh yeah. That thing had real heft. Like it was a real thing. Its something you could concievably build now, if you had the skills. So realism 10/10. The only thing that didn't completely sell me was that a smack to the head from that thing should have done more than give holden a bit of a bruise and concussion.
According to Ty and That Guy, the budget has actually remained fairly consistent throughout all 5 seasons. I agree that the effects keep getting better with each season though.
@@krapto3467 I know, right? Not what I thought at first either. But it makes sense since they've been working with a lot of the same VFX and SFX artists that they would get better and better over the years at delivering on the show's vision.
Supposed to be, and they originally tried to do that with CG in the first few episodes but it wasn't economically feasible to keep doing it, so they differentiated the belters with tats, accents and a creole language.
This scene, while glorious, broke the entire plot. A robot like that would not be a singular example. It nuked the entire franchise for me. Honestly, it's kinda like that new star wars scene where they used the ftl drive as a missile. Though the scene from star wars didn't just destroy star wars, it destroyed every franchise with ftl that didn't explicitly explain why ftl missiles aren't a thing.
The robot is only a reprogrammed maintenance drone nothing special, so i dont see a problem with it. They probably could have done a few shots of them just repairing in the background to set up that they exist but i dont really care that much about it. But i do agree about the starwars part of your comment!
@@NovelPhoinixYou're missing the point. I don't care if it's a toaster, the question is where are all the other weaponized toasters. It's like why do we keep sending people down in onesies in star trek and not drones? They could literally just beam down tricorders and beam them back up. "A Sentinel for every man, woman, and child in Zion. That sounds *exactly* like the thinking of a machine to me." ~Morpheus Mars has suits that could walk on their own. Never showing anything like automated combat left room for some techwoo explanation, some kind of AI ban or whatever, but that robot... Just ends the debate.
@@Innomenlol man, you took the words from my mind! Thought the same. The Expanse is prestigious and acclaimed for the realistic portraial of the Solar System's colonization, but with one suspension of disbelief, well, two actually. The first one is obviously the plot-moving lovecraftian/cosmic horror unimaginable and impossible to grasp technology of the type 3 Kardashev titans and their foes. The other is the absence of AI. Not only in space and hazardous operations, but everywhere. On Ships, on military operations, on Inners' jobs. Everywhere. We think then that some Dune-level shit happened and AI was stalled at best, or the suspension of disbelief allows us to imagine a future where a humane colozation happen. But then this. A marvelous scene with 10/10 CGI that hooks us. But what about this technology? Why the belters risk so much their lives just like people dying in factories today if there are robots in this universe!!
Unfortunately, the things are threading now for an automated future, so likely in our timeline there will be no belters :( Hope our timeline isn't one of an AI extinction

Man those special effects on that robot are really good.
I agree! Whoever worked on it must be REALLY cool people 😎
From the credits there was even a motion capture performer for the robot as well.
@@Awol991 imagine being that guy lmao
What special effects? This was a real robot made by Adam Savage.
Yeah I’m kidding. You’re right though.

What the hell do they need proto molecules for
@@brianlindee1285 Spoilers: to activate the alien constructs on the other side of the rings
The book writers have stated that there are tons of robots/very advanced AI in The Expanse, they just don't look like C3PO.
@@Hadesthief was the ring even there at that point? cant remember
@@AlphaKnight-hg2jq yeah this was season 5
One of my favourite action scenes of the entire series to date. That robot is perfect, a stunning example of CGI done right.
Holden’s face as it walks off, mouth open in awe of how good the robot looks 😆
it's honestly one of my favorite robot designs, it feels grounded and not over the top like something we could achieve with our current technology.

The budget really skyrocketed up for this season
Everything looks so fucking good

@@Brendissimo1 damn that's impressive

Just now realizing it was made by "Savage Industries aka Adam Savage" do you think he'll show us how he made it in a one day build??😂
I was so impressed by that robot I kept rewinding
"Let me guess. It's at home. Under your mattress."
No real robots were harmed while Filming this scene
But plenty of holdens were.
This was one of the best special effects I've seen in my life. That thing was appropriately menacing.
My left ear enjoyed the audio
Krapto lol sorry i promise i will fix the audio next upload
somewhow it fixed itself for me after i played the video from the beginning xD
Well my eight ear did, but the left was real quiet
Aren't the belters supposed to be taller than normal humans?
Supposed to be, and they originally tried to do that with CG in the first few episodes but it wasn't economically feasible to keep doing it, so they differentiated the belters with tats, accents and a creole language.
Monica came thru
I want a Crab Robot too
Holden got bitchslapped by that bot
I bet she regrets giving Fred that sample now. Especially when neither Earth nor Mars had any.
