Moral of the story: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Naw moral of the story is, keep your feelings out of experiments and learn when to hit the killswitch. Everything would of went for if, the petty humans keep their emotions out of their work and maybe they wouldn't of had to die.
@@bigezfire2390 Even if no one died, again, you don't have to make weird experiments like this. Playing god a lot of times is pointless XD They could have spent that time on more important issues. Cure some viruses and whatever.
@@SniperRed0092 true buttttt at that time maybe that was more important than whatever viruses was not happening. There is always time to play god, i mean fuck we created our gods since we were monkies in caves so why not do both, you know what I mean? And if you are a scientist you don't think of petty things like "playing god" it's more about the logic, seeing that which was unknown to us come to light to help and benefit humans in the long run rather than short term thinking of curing diseases. It's kinda of the problem we have now, the only sapient species on this planet (in our minds) and now we are paying the price for being the only intelligent talking species on this planet with this virus that only really affects humans. If we had sapient idk parrot people, maybe lobster men lmao, we would still have a pretty good economy going and wouldn't have to worry about human to human contact in businesses.
@@SniperRed0092 sapience? I can't remember which one is the right one. But it's the one that makes us humans think we are so different as special than dogs or sperm whales when sperm whales are literally smarter and have a more complex language than humans, but since we cannot understand them, we think they be the stupid.

This is actually the reason you have a team of scientists that do experiments, not two people who can't even figure out why they're together
Really, though. Most teams have specialists, not just two people that know everything and certainly not a married couple. It creates checks and balances having different people handling unique functions. Suspend disbelief, I guess???.

Imagine getting cheated on by your boyfriend because a monster was more attractive than you. Oooooof
Unfortunate

My 2 cents say that Dren secretes pheromones that attracts males to her.
maybe listen to your boyfriend when he tells you to abort the dangerous mutant you two just created.
@@Jinisinsane They worked on me
I think the reason dren killed the cat was because her "mother" took it away from her at first which to her meant it must have not been good. So she killed it and looked happy expecting her "mother" to be happy.
Dren was normal and very innocent till the parents, a man who never wanted her to exist and a woman who wanted full control over a unknown life form decided to mess things up with their horrible parenting.
That is why I think Dren would've grown up to be a wonderful adult if her/his parents were wonderful people to begin with, but they weren't. Dren wasn't the experiment, her parents (i.e. scientists) were the real experiments... they couldn't handle the task of being real parents. The way they treated Dren is something I wouldn't even do to any of my pets. I would've used positive behavior training. Focused mainly on the good or acceptable behavior. I do this when I am house training my pets. It is more efficient and effectively than punishment. 🤷
I thought that she killed the cat out of defiance. Dren seemed offended by what elsa said about "its nice having a pet" and took it like she was referring to her as being the pet.
I thought that Dren was going through a rebellious phase with her "mother" and killed the cat to push back at her. like "oh now i can have the cat because you say so, now i don't want it, so there" type of thing.
She killed it out of spite
I figured it was a warning, like, "I don't need anything you give me and I can kill you if I want to."
I need a sequel. I really want to see this baby.
Also what was funny to me about this was that they were surprised at Dren's behaviors as if humans aren't predators. We may have gotten fat and lazy but there's a reason our species has thrived.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid and thinking: "gee, whoever made this movie was a pervert..."
...now I'm just like "HELL YEAH!"

Splice: A movie that ended up being how a woman got knocked up by her mutant child. Somewhere in Japan, there is porn about this.
My question is WHY TF didnt she terminate it !!!!!!
@@cheyannew1668 I'd say it's a Frankenstein's monster in her mind that she did not want to kill her child, her man's child (Dren got some DNA from the man she killed), nor her brainchild. Dren was pretty much her mad scientist mother everything.
@BookeaterStroryeater Not the nation but their markets. Russia has its most loved porn market being rape porn. The anti-gay Islamic nations have their most popular porn being gay porn. Fantasy that is most enticing is the most perverse of what is considered evil and-or deviant.
Its called Hentai, and it's art
@@jurxnator279 "Art" is a borderline meaningless word. Absolutely anything can be classified as art and to someone, it is art. And the "art" of Hentai is just cartoon porn.
13:12 - Adding onto the pinkie discussion, I don't think people realize how important that finger is for a tight grip until it's taken away. I broke mine once as a kid and found it very difficult to pick up heavier objects. My Japanese teacher once mentioned that some forms of punishment in ancient Japan were to cut off the pinkie so that the user could no longer wield a sword against their master.
It does a lot more than just help with a keyboard (and that's not even touching on 6 finger dominant genes)
The pinky cut was used as a punishment well into the 20th century by the yakuza. Today, though, they rarely use it, since it makes them easy to spot in public. They've largely abandoned tattoos for the same reason.
Moral of the story: NEVER do a public presentation without running a quick test before hand, you never know what could go wrong (and that applies to game/software developers and tech developers -cybertruck .. ahm ahm- as much as it applies to biologists), things could have turned out quite differently for the couple if their presentation didn't go south.
I noticed something about the eyes you didn't quite grab. Yes, as you said, her eyes start off on the sides of her head, but I saw that not as amphibious but mammalian. Consider rabbits, mice, deer, cows, et cetera - all mammals, all prey, and thus all with outward facing eyes. Dren, at the beginning, had prey traits and personality. As they aged/matured, the eyes moved to the front and Dren became more aggressive - it moved from prey to predator.
Bingo!
@@blanktitle198 In addition, her eyes being spaced widely apart would give her both a wider field of view and substantially improved depth perception, the fact that she moves her whole head instead of just her eyes to look at things further indicates that the eyes themselves are at least partially fixed forward like many predatory birds, implying superb telescope-like focus.
Sounds like a rather good evolutionary trait as well. When your young and helpless you can really on your parents to aid in providing sustenance for you, while you small size and lack of experience puts better pressure on surviving to adolescence. It at adolescence that the eyes move forward in order to prep the infant for their predator life style.
But so douse also the human fetus so it could also be that her facial features follow the development for how a humans grow.
I had a similar thought

Imagine if, instead of treating Dren like a science experiment, they had treated her like THEIR child.
There's still the factor of aggression.
@@SirBlackReeds We don't know that. This movie makes us question how much of her aggression is nature and what is nurture. They treat her horribly and don't help her with her natural tendencies at all.
I think the rabbit would have always been killed, but not necessarily the cat or the humans.
The monster in Splice is the monstrous mother, not her brood.
@@JuMiKu I met the author of this, and he did not understand the mother was the monster. He thought Adrian Brody was the worst one. I thought he was wrong, but he also wrote damn thing, so it was an odd conversation.
@@Will-tn8kq Huh? Weird, but ver interesting to know. Thank you!
Such stuff is why I never do author-centered analysis. It often seems that a lot is subconscious or unintentional.
Still, I gotta chew on the fact that somebody could not see what they are doing while writing this. It's mildly concerning.
@@Will-tn8kq That's....unnerving, to say the least. They're both awful, they're not even good scientists (how could they not notice Ginger's estrogen was dropping/testosterone was increasing?). But the wife was CLEARLY the worst of the two in the way she kept trying to control Dren, then when she couldn't, she turned cold and treated them as a specimen instead of a sentient, sapient being.
Wait.. If she used her egg to make Dren and Clive slept with it.. And then she sleeps with Dren.. **Banjo music intensifies**

I think that the stinger resembles a stingray's stinger more than one of the scorpion. Having a stingray influence has much more sense to me, because all the other animals which are included (including humans) are vertebrates. The stinger on a tail seems fleshy and flexible, unlike the exoskeleton stinger of the scorpion, which moves along a mostly singular path.
totally agree
I also agree strongly.
An interesting thing to note is the absence of a spike, where stingrays lodge one of up to five tail spikes into the subject.
Well scorpion's are invertebrates too soooo idk.
You know what, that makes a lot of sense, and I was thinking the "wings", while not avian or mammalian, did look a lot like fish fins. Maybe some flying fish. They definitely didn't look like bug wings, far too vascularised for that, and to my knowledge bugs don't really fold their wings that much. Fold them to lay along the body definitely, but that's only really at one "joint" not along multiple like you'd need to get something to retract so close to the skin without risking it being damaged.

In addition to changing from female to male, Dren also grew a fifth finger, as shown DC during when Dren was in the water after letting Clive get out of the water towards the end of the movie.
My favorite part was the finding Nemo explanation. It’s always funny when a lot of people who don’t understand how the animal kingdom can potentially work finds out how the animal kingdom potentially works and then it ruins a lot of childhood movies and their perception of certain types of animals
fortunately, female clownfish don't actually mate with the males they live with.
Lol yup. Protogyny isn't just unique to clownfish, though. Frogs, lizards, and even ducks do it too!
yeah, same way it's funny to see someone realize what size a real pig is. Or to show them pics of a newborn horse's hooves
@@kelliecarmichael2539 I’ve never seen a new born horses hooves. I’m going to google right now. Haha
@@kelliecarmichael2539 oh shit, I did know that. Hahah. I didn’t know that was a new born horse though. Haha. I thought they were over grown lol
Remember watching this movie years ago when it was on late night TV, it’s one of those movies you weren’t sure actually happened. Good to know it wasn’t a hallucination
now your worst memories confirmed haha
for me i watched it i think after adult swim off the air so i was even more out of it.
One of those weird fever dreams huh
I wish seeing it had been a hallucination.
I do dreamt of weird movie trailer that don't exist.
Moral of the story, “ don’t add clown fish dna” if you want to keep your monster waifu.
You are welcome scientist
Seriously, that may as well be considered a plot hole, because with them being experts how the fuck wouldn't they think of the clownfish's ability of changing sex? That was an absurd mistake.
@@TheDragShot maybe they bullshitted their way?
@@TheDragShot I agree that they should have thought of what all the dna would do but they assumed it would be mostly human since it had half human dna and only shreds of the other dna. Not to mention they had a program that helped them going through hundreds of dna combos and it seems that the program was having a hard time find a human combo that worked with any animals. I think something in the clownfish dna was a must for the creature to even exist. It could very well be the gene that lets it change sex that made it so vital to begin with. Not the sex changing bit but the ability to recode and change ones body, kind of a fast evolution which would have been needed since dna has so much junk dna to begin with mix that with other animals and it needed to keep evolving to be viable, without it the creature would not be and that might have been a chance they where willing to take but didnt relise how much the creature would pull on that dna and change. This is my best guess tho.
@@ravenlockwood9932 Hmm... good point.
frogs can do that too, like in Jurassic park.
I've always seen the movie as less a story about creating a monster and more about the damage that abusive and controlling parents can do. Dren didn't lash out because she wasn't human, she lashed out because she was being abused.
Furthermore, it also has things to say about people taking care of something while ignoring the needs of the life they're taking care of. So many people get a pet and then punish that pet for doing things that come naturally to it, like blaming a dog for barking or wanting to run and exert energy, or getting a hamster and putting it in a tiny cage not suited to it.
Just because you love something doesn't mean you're actually taking care of it. The scientists are to blame. They tormented Dren basically her whole life, both in terms of caring for an exotic animal, and in terms of parents caring for a child. If they had been better at fulfilling the responsibility they'd signed up for, this wouldn't have happened.
Don't think you can say for sure it wouldn't have happened.
Or it's just an extremely convoluted anti-sex story.🙃It starts with deviation, continues into weird erotic shit, and ends with a pregnancy and some people dying. See? This is why you should not dance with kangaroo-human-cat-scorpion or whatever-things!
I actually think Dren had more sea life in her than most people are suggesting. The tail always read to me as the stinger of a stingray, or the spines of a lionfish, or any number of other venomous sea creatures. The stinger just looks so much like it came from something aquatic. Also, there’s lots of sea creatures that change their sex, not just clownfish.
In the movie, there are multiple lines that can clue us in to what’s actually in Dren’s DNA, and while the scientists may be lacking in common sense, they did still make Dren.
Elsa is initially surprised at the stinger, because she claims they “didn’t use any predatory or venomous animals”, and Clive mumbles that “well, there’s the human element...”
Additionally, there are tons of moments that emphasize the scientists believing Dren “should not want to eat meat.” This feels intentional. What a lot of people don’t realize is that just about every herbivore has dined on meat opportunistically, at least a little.
There are nutrients in meat that you will always be deficient in as a strict herbivore. Deer and cows have been observed chewing on old dry bones for phosphorus and calcium, which is pretty hard to come by in grass and flowers. Nature doesn’t care about morals, just survival, and herbivores are always down to snack on a baby bird that’s fallen from the nest or nibble on a little fresh carrion if it seems like there’s a chance no predators are nearby.
Back to Dren though. Because they explicitly state that they didn’t use any explicitly predatory animals and they clearly have only a baseline understanding of animal behavior (they believe that Fred and Ginger fought because they were males, and didn’t think any further or consider that there could be other factors at play, they had the same response as someone who had two male hamsters in one cage despite the fact that Fred and Ginger were literally two new animals that had no prior records to suggest they behaved like known animals), I believe that she’s made up of mostly fish, amphibians and human DNA.
I think Dren absolutely did have some amphibian DNA in her, although I think she actually has more salamander than frog in her, because many species of salamanders have incredible regenerative abilities. Also Dren exhibits a peculiar aging process, which while not necessarily the same as a salamander, still feels like a result of strange genes that might express themselves differently when combined with the other things floating around in Dren’s genome. There is also a species of newt that has been known to weaponize its own rib bones, which are covered in a toxic substance. The sharp ribbed Iberian newt, which also, coincidentally, has those powerful regenerative abilities and the process of how the stinger unsheathes looks pretty similar to the threat display of a sharp ribbed Iberian newt, who is effectively breaking easily-healed bones and pushing them through pores on its sides to make itself a threat, with toxic secretions coming from those pores in the process.
And if you think breaking bones to weaponize them is unusual, there is also the horror frog, a frog that has been known to break the bones in its hands, push the splinters through its toe pads, and use them like claws, with a mechanism in place that both breaks them and pushes them through said toe pads more easily and they again have that crazy healing speed to help them deal with the broken bones following the injuries they are left with.
Overall, if there is one thing that amphibians frequently seem to be capable of evolving, it’s toxic secretions, unconventional stingers or claws made from broken bones, and a ridiculously good healing factor. Regardless of whether it was a frog or a salamander, they definitely contributed to the legs. And Dren started aa a weird tadpole-shaped pod that later “hatched” into a thing with no arms, then developed arms later on. There’s an amphibian in there and it’s a hill I will die on.
I also believe multiple fish were involved. I think they used at least one species of parrotfish. Parrotfish are herbivores, they scrape algae off rocks with the beaks that give them their name. Unlike clownfish, which only go from male-to-female, parrotfish often do the reverse. Depending on the species, some change partway through development while still sexually immature, which matches up way better with what we saw in the movie. There’s no way of telling if Dren was even sexually mature yet when Clive did what he did, Dren was aging on a completely different timeframe.
As for the wings, I actually think they’re a modified set of fins. There’s so much Dren already has that’s geared towards living in the water, it makes more sense to me that she just used those fins to fly or glide instead. Flying fish did it. Why not Dren? And they don’t look stiff enough to be insectoid wings to me. They seem just a little too fleshy. A little too vascular, and they fold into the skin which further signals that they aren’t rigid like insect wings. They look way more like fins that have been repurposed as wings.
And even amidst all that, genes are funny things. DNA is funky. Sometimes turning off one gene can end up effecting the expression of a completely different, seemingly unrelated gene. The gene in dogs that codes for a predisposition to being friendly with humans happens to also be linked to genes that cause the cartilage in their ears to deform, making them floppy. For all we know, Dren is half human and kangaroo and the genes are just mixing super weird. Hard to say, especially when the sample size is one single really fucked up specimen.

@@jameslegrand848
Eh? I can see it I guess.
So, out of curiosity, had Clive been able to inseminate Dren, do you suppose the final shift to male would still have happened?
Also, why do you suppose that Fred never changed gender? And that ginger did change gender? Do you believe that the “mating” was a factor that instigated the final evolution?
And what is your best theory as to why Ginger and Dren (especially Ginger) changed gender? should propagating the species not be a deciding factor? As you said, clown fish only become female when the matriarch female dies, but that wasn’t the case for Ginger, or Dren.
And finally, most species of animal have a instinctual abhorrence to mating with close relatives, particularly parents, why would Dren choose to mate his own mother?
Okay, that’s it. Just food for rather strange thoughts.
Yeah, the movie’s plot makes less and less sense the more I dig lmao. I don’t think the sex-changing thing made sense at all except for the shock factors. Especially for the ending.
@@Just_Moon2004 maybe Fred changed genders because of the presence of another member of it's species?
@@tas64 1. Fred **did not** changed genders
2. Make no sense, it was the opposite sex of Ginger, why would it change sex/gender in this scenario if they could breed already? We will never know.
Dren's parents were the only sexually compatible beings they knew, the instinct to bred likely surpassed the instinct not to breed with family because there were no other options.
Not only it’s unethical for the child to be born, they also did incest which is not wincest.

This explains so much about Snoke.

I don't remember anyone name Snoke in Star Wars.
I saw that movie once; made me ask why they insisted on giving her carnivore traits that not only made her dangerous, but aggressive. If anything, your list of possible gene sources and traits only makes me think more that they weren't picky about what they were making, just that they were making something. It's like they took drew a bunch of random gene codes out of a hat, threw them into a blender, and sipped at the results without once asking if they were putting poison into their milkshake; they just wanted a recipe that tasted good.
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Apex predators only insofar as our ability to make and use tools; Dren had all the tools she needed built into her. We don't even have a sense of smell to speak of and most of us couldn't survive a week in the woods without extensive knowledge, experience, and preparation.

@@TheTillmanSneakerReview I think I'm going to cheat a bit and say we're both right. After all, analysis and animal befriending take time to do and use; time that can cost your life.

Since most of us aren't killers, I'd say the doc in this movie got lucky and made use of an adrenaline spike simultaneously.
they could have made a cute deer girl and made billions with the furry community instead they picked predator and insect traits. Spoiler: you don't want a catgirl girlfriend, she'd disembowel you
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Deers drink tears as an water source
Deers occasionally eat the odd mouse or carcass too.
On the topic of the eyes, she was originally fed sucrose and her eyes were more sideways... a trait that is more common with prey species (which most likely means her stinger tail is a defense mechanism) and then we see her eyes facing forwards as she is eating a freshly caught animal. So her evolution starts as prey and then she develops into a predator
I've always liked Dren's creature design. Including canards instead of tail fins was a interesting choice for example.
Surprised it wasn't mentioned that whoever wrote the script looked at everything that a scientist should do and said nope.
Honestly just mass produced the artificial wombs to make money hand over fist.
Cheers!
@Caitlyn Carvalho IIRC she had a lot of stuff added perhaps canine was in there as well
Scorpions are arachnids, not insects. So the "insect-like wings" trait wouldn't have come from Scorpion dna. As a matter of fact, it's far more likely, due to the fact that the stinger is retractable, that the dna would've come from a bee or wasp. Why on earth you would want to combine that horror show with human dna is beyond me but yeah, there ya go.
Jenius man
They just wanted to discover new proteins and partly human ones would be more medically useful.
this is just a guess but I thought that it was stingray DNA
@@codfishface5029 I thought it was stingray DNA as well. The automated splicing probably did NOT illustrate all the 'junk genes' that were integrated, thus we can pretty much twist the origin DNA in as many ways as we wish.

I feel like the people in these movies have never seen Jurassic Park when it comes to the female/male creature switching sexes
Not to sound like a nerd because I’m actually just pretty normal in intelligence but I believe that it took a pretty specific set of circumstances for the dinosaurs to switch genders in those movies.
Name checks out
Well it took a very specific set of circumstances for dren to change sexes
@@lakinwillson4124 you mean the same one in this where they used a genetic base from a frog species that could switch.
@@fetusdeletus9266 both movies had similar reasons for switching genders. dinosaurs did it because it was a high amount of females and in splice they did it because having the DNA of all animals would fuck a bit with gender and most likely would have given it a sort of domination sense where it wants to be alpha, or heck it just has random sex changes for several reasons since there's only 2 of the fuckers.
Elsa's use of her own egg was because she was afraid she'd inherited her mother's insanity that caused her to abuse Elsa; she thought she could control Dren and if she turned out crazy just terminate her. This is why she refused to have a normal baby; she was afraid it would be crazy like her mom. She was afraid that her mother's insanity was genetic. Turns out she was right; she'd inherited her mother's abusive insanity as we see in how she treats Dren; and Dren also inherited it. I'll note that many scientists are on the fence about whether mental imbalances are or have a genetic factor. IMHO they do but environment can be key in bringing them out; or spontaneously cause them in otherwise normal people.
Any positive thing about Dren is immediately nullified by the fact that she killed a cat.

"OMG theres a human monster intercourse in the movie, thats horrible!"
Welp, Del Toro did that and got a oscar
He directed this too lol
It's less about the intercourse and more about the fact that the monster was childlike in intelligence and technically the daughter of his girlfriend. Not to mention the power imbalance as the caretaker. I'm hoping that the creature had some kind a pheromone that it let out that caused that and he didn't actually think "I really wanna bang that alien woman thing that's kinda my girlfriend's kid"

@@stagpie6449 google says Vincenzo Natali directed
@@clerivaldojunior4465 Yup and Steven Hoban was the producer of the movie splice as he is perhaps best known for the Ginger Snaps movies. Also fun fact Vincenzo Natali is a close friend of Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman as they have directed/produced many movies together.

Ya know, I was like "Dren looks cool man." and like I was 100% on Dren's side.
And then she murdered a cat.

I love how as soon as the contract ended you removed the ad from the video, nice one!
I think you are spot on about Dren's temperature spikes and near "deaths" being her just going through new growth changes. I actually enjoyed the movie when I saw it and came away feeling like the humans were much more the monsters than Dren who was just a living being following instinct and being inconsistently raised as both an experiment and a child which real life history has shown to never turn out well

@@tacticaltoad1104 to sum it all up the creature turned into a male and raped the female scientist and was killed and in the end the female scientist ended up pregnant
Did anyone else think it was going to be super cute about raising an experiment and stuff and then did a double take when that weird ass stuff happened? Cause I had to pause it a couple times and think about my life choices.

@@RoanokeGaming Borderlands biology?
@@dontknowdontcare1934 I was just boutta comment that too
I ended up having a love/hate relationship with this movie. Initially, I liked it but as the story went on (and afterward when I put more thought into it) I actually felt so bad for Dren that I couldn't help but see Clive and Elsa as the real villains here. Regardless of any actions Dren eventually took, she was innocent from the perspective that she never asked to be born a one-off apex predator. The part of her that was an innocent, sweet girl that wanted love from her "parents" and the animal side of her that clashed were solely the responsibility of the scientists that made her. I tried going back and watching it again a year or so ago but, about twenty minutes in, I was so irritated and distracted re-watching Clive and Elsa make those mistakes I just turned it off. It's definitely a movie that works from the angle of making you think about how humans repeatedly try to "play God" and the consequences. Cheers.
That's why I really love this movie.
They were the pad people. Elsa was raised by an abusive mother and in turn became an abusive mother herself towards Dren who was basically her daughter. This happens all the time in real life with abusive parents, it's basically the never ending cycle of abuse.
@SubversiveMemes Dren showed human like emotion and behavior. She had Elsa's genes in her and responded negatively when Elsa took the cat away from her for no good reason, which made her dislike Elsa and in turn like Clive.
And how could we be sure of it's lifespan when it was killed before completing it's cycle. Sure it had accelerated maturing but it's unknown how long it could have lived for.
Try to play God Bruh we can play God at any time we created him/her or them. In fact we can make a new Species if we want even if that species will be the cause of our extinction
@SubversiveMemes Except Elsa couldn't decide whether Dren was an experiment or child. It's clear she tried to treat it as either on her own whims.
Adult Dren certainly gives me the Uncanny Valley effect but baby Dren is pretty adorable. Maybe that's due to the eyes moving her to the other side od the valley in terms of humam like appearance.
Also the migration of the eyes reminds me of Halibut, who have eyes on each side of their heads as babies, but as they age the eyes migrate to be on one side so they can lay flat on the sea floor looking up.
Splice is unironically one of my favorite movies.
No other movie has made me feel so uncomfortable.
Why didn't they just should have sticked to catgirls can't go wrong with that
Exactly nothing would go wrong except if a hentai protagonist stumbles upon it
Now I'm down for some nice marriage and bedroom action like any normal guy but maybe mixing felines with women is an exetremely bad idea.
I don't know about you, but sharp claws aren't something I want grabbing a hold of my more tender meaty parts, like my belly. That's a trip to the hospital waiting to happen.

Ps I love your channel my son showed me it it's a lot of fun!
Creature: Exists
Roanoke: "Your toes, hand em over"
You're right and you should say it.
I'd argue there's at least some stingray in Dren
Thats a good idea as well!
Stingrays don't have a retractable stinger it's just their tail is barbed where each barb has venom
@@Nob911 You know many animals have things they don't express in their genetics right?
Look at dogs.
So many different types.
I don't know about rays but if they ever could use a stinger this way, She could express it.
We can also turn things like Wisdom teeth off in human children. It goes both ways. It's not science fiction.
@@FeedMeSalt made no sense but good try at straying off from the point of stingrays don't have stingers and have spines instead which if you didn't know rays are in the shark family as well
And she didn't have the full genetic code just parts she didn't express it it's just how her body developed with all the types of animal DNA it had to pick and choose
I always love your synopses of movies!
Great video!
And thats why marlin wanted to find Nemo so bad.

Imagine when ghost organ technology progresses so far that we can grow a new body in a lab. And once the transfer of consciousness is figured out probably through some tether point we can just hop from vessel to vessel. Things like this movie make me realize the potential for modification of the standard human vessel to be able to withstand currently uninhabitable places for us. Like the ocean or other planets etc

I very much appreciate your movie summaries.
This movie was underrated. They should've marketed this so that we could get a trilogy.
Dren reminds me of a harpy. Female, can fly, carnivorous, and violent.
Her inspiration was probably the succubus/incubus. In folklore demons can't create life, so a succubus mates with a human male, then morphs into a incubus to impregnate a human female. Merlin from Arthurian myth was in some tales the offspring of an incubus and a human.
She does turn into a male. Don't think harpys do that.. Although that'd be a lot cooler
@@laurene988 Harpies have screwed up reproduction, which means it actually does fit in this theme.
Thats just a normal woman

There is actually a fish ( I can't remember what it's called ) that changes from female to male. It becomes extremely aggressive as a result, especially towards other males. I think it's more likely to have been used than Clownfish DNA.

"because I'm about to ruin Finding Nemo for you."
A little too late, boss. MatPat got there first.
I forgot who, but someone said that Dren repurposed the sperm she received from Clive before injecting it into Elsa. The child could be human, but it might also have been spliced even more, being 2/3 human and the rest comprised of whatever they put into Dren.
Mat Anthony Then she must be based on the demonic Succubus/Incubus who have sex with men in female form then transform into male form and inject the collected sperm into random women
