  • In the Movie "Overlord" as the Americans are sent in to destroy a tower, the German forces were conducting strange experiments deep within an underground portion of a church. By pure chance, the Americans end up stumbling across this and seeing first hand, what this Tar Serum is capable that the Germans were working on. As a skirmish breaks out, it becomes clear, those infected, are no longer human. But what makes them so powerful and how does it affect human physiology? lets discuss that in todays episode!
    Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy Super Soldiers from Overlord Explained | What is the Tar Serum and its Affects on Human Anatomy?

    The head reminds me of Lovecraft’s story “Herbert West, the Reanimator.” West served in WW1 as a field surgeon and secretly experimented on the corpses. One of the corpses was a decapitated pilot, which he saw as a perfect opportunity to test his serum on a disfigured subject. He operated on the headless body and succeeded in reanimated it but the severed head remotely reanimated as well and screamed as he was re-enacting his final moments. Scared shitless by the fact the experiment produced a result that he couldn’t scientifically explain, West went home and spent the rest of his days as a recluse until the day all of his experiments, led by the headless man, found him and killed him.

    Honestly a pretty good movie, and although the ending had everything pretty summed up, i do wish they were able to make a sequel, maybe with the U.S. army finding a single syringe with the serum.

      Originally there had been plans for a sequel which would take place in Vietnam either during the Vietnam war or during the French-Vietnamese war and the serum would be there. Though honestly I like the movie without a sequel because you know that they were going to explain the tar more and I hate that horror is better when you don’t know what it is the unknown is more frightening then what your brain can figure out. Also it sort of did though I would call those zombies more ghouls as some seem to have intelligence as we saw with the French womens head.

    1:46 that actually happened to my dad, and he had ended up getting through basic without knowing how to swim. The only difference he was in the states training. He should have been fine after getting out of the river except he realized he had landed about 50 yards away from a KKK meeting, and apperently they were pissed (more so then usual it seemed to him) so he hid in a tree not realizing his chute was on the ground. Thankfully when they started looking they split up in a way that let him shimmy down and basically sprint back towards his airfield . Bizarrely he still nevered bother to learn even though he was due to ship to Vietnam a few weeks later.

    14:35 im not so certain about increased strength, i think what happens here may actually be hysterical strength. Know how you occasionally hear stories of people displaying superhuman strength during moments of extreme danger to someone they care for? Normally, the human body has built in neural safe-guards that are meant to stop us from injuring ourselves by over-exerting our muscles, these safe-guards come in the form of pain, use a muscle too intensely all at once, its gonna hurt like hell, and maybe even do damage to other tissues, but with practice, determination, a shit-load of will-power, or a huge dose of adrenaline to the body, these safe-guards can be ignored or overridden. I think whats happening here with the strength increase is actually the typical pain feedback we get from over-exerting ourselves being nullified along with the pain receptors in the nervous system, so hes actively injuring himself by using his full bodily strength, but doesn't realize it, because he can't feel the pain of torn, sprained, or pulled muscles, or broken or fractured bones.

    • @libertyprime1614
      @libertyprime1614 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Adrenaline increases muscle fiber recruitment and endurance, this will affect strength in compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, pullups, etc, but in isolation movements such as bicep curl increase in strength from adrenaline barely noticeable, because our nervous system already can recruitment most since there is not a lot of muscles to wor with from the beginning. This also explains why exercising you can increase your deadlifts 3-4 times but bicep curl may grow only 50% for the same amount of time, your nervous system just learned to recruit more muscle fibers, but for bicep curls, only muscle growth can help.
      Back to our mutants, they seem to possess a higher level of strength even than Olympic class athletes, including in isolated movements (when Wafner lifts Chase with one arm hr essentially performs deltoid raise and deltoids are quite small muscles) which would tear joints and ligaments in singular forceful movement rendering them immobile pain or not, thus I believe without some musculoskeletal system tissue reinforcement they wouldn't be able to achieve that level of strength, besides they also possess healing factor.

    • @Lustie
      @Lustie 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well it’s the lactic acid that is the self defense mechanism to stop using an increased strength to continue to use that muscle.
      It’s the muscle itself tearing which is where the pain comes from. I don’t know if that can classify as a self defensive mechanism compared to lactic acid consider a lot of people push their muscles when in pain regardless where as enough lactic acid buildup will literally “shut” down or temporarily halt muscle contractions wether you want it too or not.

    • @theshermantanker7043
      @theshermantanker7043 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      An important thing people often seem to never get is that hysterical strength is not an adrenal rush, it's a massive hormonal cocktail that cascades more drastically the longer it's on. The neural inhibitors, though a large factor in this, isn't the only one. The force generated by muscles themselves also actually skyrockets when the right conditions are met. Some of these are due to tetanic contractions, but we actually know surprisingly little about this, whether this also involves changes to the actin-myosin arrays or not
