It's so nice how you can be enthusiastic about the topic you're talking about while still having the composure to recognize when the product is flawed
I always wondered how widely known mutants were in Waterworld. The drifter who steals the Mariner’s fruit at the start of the movie seems to know or suspect he is one.
That is a great point JR! It's really hard to say how much the average person in Waterworld knows about Mutants, but they for sure know they exist. But if that is true, then isn't strange that the Mariner seems to have never met another mutant himself?
@@TheAtoll My best guess is that any mutants would be killed the moment they were born, so people would know about them but have a very slim chance of actually meeting one.
Of course, not letting mutations pass on adds another level of absurdity to any human evolving gills 😂
Such a shame.
This universe has so much potential in comics and film
Agreed Scrappy! Thanks for making it to the Premier of this one!
We need to start writing ww comics of our own! With ai tech we could even make it look good, for those, like me, who could not draw if our lives depended on it. (:
@@andersand6576 I can draw and paint ect to a fairly good quality level but nowhere near as consistently as comics would require even for concept art lol
I do think it would be epic if we could put a comic together tho 👍
@@scrappydoo7887 a bit is enough when you run it through an ai.
@@andersand6576 I can't say that I have any experience with AI and artwork.
I have to admit that it's quite an interesting concept
22:55 shows northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, but rising sea levels would not leave those parts showing while leaving the Red Sea virtually the same shape. They just took the outline of the landmasses and painted over randomly.
Aw yes, I totally see it now! Thank you!
Love this channel. Need more water world lore
100% agree! The universe is rich for more stories.
We really do. It's a crying shame that the universe wasn't expanded on to the kind of degree that other wide scope films are
@@TheAtoll please do an exhaustive breakdown of all or most of the stunts of the film. fascinated by the size of the production.
Just discovered this channel and holy crap, your production quality is great and suddenly having all your back catalog to watch just makes me stoked. Keep it up! If the new water world show comes out I bet your channel blows up. You’ve built a great foundation!
Aw man, yeah, I hope we get more Waterworld someday! The fact that the stunt show is still going in four locations gives me hope!
Incredible. I do not know that the Waterworld lore was so extense and deep. I have really enjoyed this insight within.
Thanks Edgar! Glad to hear you are enjoying these deep dives :)
The Leviathan looks like Mojo from X-Men. Makes me wonder if Leviathan and his Children could work in live action if these comics were an actual movie. I think Leviathan would be like Water World’s version of Immortan Joe.
Wow, I was not familiar with Mojo, so I had to look the character up, but yes, they look very similar! Yeah, the Leviathan could have made for a great cinematic villain!
It's a shame they never did a comic a-daptation of "Waterworld" itself. I won-der how the characters of Helen, Enola, Gregor, The Deacon & The Nord would look, considering that the Mariner was different in the "Children of Leviathan" comics.
Edit: Nevermind I didn't know 'bout the manga at the end.
Now, I wished there's an audio version of the Manga with the voice of Rika Fukami (Sailor Venus from the OG Sailor Moon anime series) as Helen just like in the Japanese dub of the 1995 film
Yeah, the manga is a very special Waterworld collectable. If fact I didn't even think that I existed until I actually had it my hands for myself!
So freaking cool and even more why I think this story is so much more fitted for an animated series.
I can read a little bit Japanese. From those few pages you showed at 28:48, It looks like in this manga, it was the Mariner figured out Enola's tattoo should be read up-side down instead of Gregor.
Aww, okay! That seems on track with the story in the film! Thanks as always for lending your knowledge here Gary!
Finding out these even existed blew my mind lol. I would love to see you interview some of the cast and crew next
Same here! And, yes, I agree, I think that interviews some of the cast and crew would be a very logical next step for the channel!
Third comment, saying thank you so much for the quality of these videos. It really has helped my ADHD spiral that I’ve gotten myself into.
Haha, Thanks Neon!
WHOA! that Waterworld manga! was definitely not expecting that. it'd be so cool to somehow get a translation of it one day. great work as always Atollbro!
Hey Slime! I am glad you're stoked on the manga as well! I'v been surprised I haven't received more comment on what an interesting discovery this item is, so thank you for dropping this comment!
I used the translation of the Google Lens app on my phone right on the computer screen to get the gist of some of the clear dialog bubbles. The NatGeo pages talk about global warming, CO2, ultraviolet radiation, rainforests dying, etc.
When I was little I came up with my own set of salvaged ships that survived the deluge. I had the Queen Mary 2, random military battleships from other countries, and a few old sailing ships form the 1800's. I even had the worlds largest cargo ship which carried relics of the old world, such as a train and several more working cars. Also your "unrecognizable" mass of land is Africa and part of the Middle East.
Sounds cool!
I really like the idea of a huge cargo ship carrying all the relics of the old world! Like a Noah's Ark for modern industrialism.
@@TheAtoll Yep, it was to be like a floating archive or museum. Having some animals on the ship would be a nice idea too, such as cats and dogs. I thought it would have been nice for someone on the Atoll have a pet dog. Like one of the survivors in Titan A.E. did on New Bangkok.
@@delmogeny is the cargo ship in question happens to be a container ship since those are ideal candidates for waterworld or the Seawise Giant. Maybe I should make my own Waterworld lore where a collection of historical ocean liners and other types of ships become multi-generational ships and that the people are trying to survive and also avoid constant harassment of the smokers. Imagine a Mad Max style RMS Titanic with still functional engines and such.
You need to do that
Keep it up! Glad to have stumbled upon your channel! Always appreciate the rare waterworld fan!
Very glad you found us Kevin!
Another excellent video. Thank you for all the content!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Forrest!
When I see this, my doubt was a sequel to the previous movie
Aw, yeah, I wish! I guess in a way it is a sequel...
Great as always! Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks Adam!
MORE WATERWORLD!!!
Could not agree harder!
The story of these comics is great IMHO. It reminds me of Fallout and the vaults. It makes sense too, because some of humanity would have foreseen and prepared for the flood. Bunkers would be the ideal choice!
Yeah, it's cool that the comics created a new faction in Waterworld. I really wish they had made another series!
@@TheAtoll Me too! Honestly, I think the world of Waterworld would make a great setting for an open world game. All the traditional elements are there from the lore: crafting, scavenging, factions to join or oppose, a world (both underwater and above) to explore, etc. I'm surprised the entity that has the rights to the IP hasnt tried farming it out to a game company to make something!
I wonder what the covers for Book 1-3 would have look like had they received the cover artist from Book 4.
I'm hyped
Thanks for checking out the video Zach!
Amazing channel binge watching from you comment on minty. I always stuck up for waterworld childhood favorite. Great in depth analysis on every video🌊🌍😍
Hey, thanks Nostalgia Injection! Waterworld is such a cool and mysterious universe to explore, and I try to write each video to feel like it's a new discovery being made. That is what I love so much about lesser known cinematic universe! Anyway, it's always great to meet a fellow drifter!
I would love to read these comics
Thanks for making it out to the Premier for this one Stoner Cat! See you in the next one hopefully!
@@TheAtoll Yee always looking forward to your awesome videos
Wish they would continue this storyline
Who knows! Maybe another comic will be made some day. And I for one am still holding out hope that the TV show will still be made. Hopefully we will get more news about that before the end of the summer!
Your channel is a nice oasis. I'm 36, i watched the movie with my grandma rip😢 but she made me read the book first. Really good book.
Some movies disregard key plot points for time or other reasons but the changes in this movie do not matter. The movie is loads of fun and interesting. In the movie did the smokers say the mantra about grinding up DryLand like in the book?
Hey Koopa, I also am 36! Thank you for sharing this memory of your grandmother. And yes, I believe that the Extended Cut of Waterworld does have more of the Deacon's final speech in it, which more closely resembles that in the book.
Thank you my good sir, and good morning.
Good morning!
So glad the silicon sea's brought me to this Atoll.
To you i give these hairs!
Glad you found us!!! Wow, you know of the importance of hair in the Waterworld universe! That's a deep reference!
this is the best channel on youtube
Thank you!!! It's so much fun to explore every nook and cranny of this universe!
I recognize the Hutt comparison to Leviathan, but if anything, The Children of the Leviathan reminds me more of the Yuuzhan Vong from Star Wars lore, complete with that spiky armor and their apparent propensity towards self-mutilation.
Also, there is no way that the Foundation is not a reference to the series of the same name by Issac Asimov. They practically serve the same purpose, and appear to be the only faction in Waterworld to maintain some sort of technologically advanced society.
Yes, I totally see the connection you are making with the Yuuzhan Vong! I am not familiar with that Issac Asimov novel, but it sounds cool! I will have to check it out.
@@TheAtoll Foundation is not just a novel, but a series started by Issac Asimov in 1951.
A lot of the cultural and technological aspects described in the novels are pretty outdated, but that's to be expected, considering how differently technology and has society diverged from expectations 70 years ago, and that's why the television series mad many changes and additions from the novels.
Even so, Issac Asimov's series can be considered as one of the first attempts in the classic space opera genre with an overarching storyline, and one of the inspirations behind Star Wars.
I love the idea of a similar society to the Foundation in the Water World continuity. I like the idea that with ancient advanced knowledge, there is the possibility that maybe the remnants of humanity could be given a chance to learn from the mistakes of their ancestors, and learn how to thrive again in a hostile environment.
If anything, I don't think that the comics went far enough concerning advanced technology, as humanity would surely invent more than just compact submersibles up until the time of the Deluge. From watching one or more of your other videos, humanity survived up until the early 23rd century. Even if they didn't develop the technology to successfully deflect comets, there's no telling what they DID invent.
Let's just say that on a Pelagic world, it might be easier to gather the fuel for engines that run on hydrogen, than to power internal combustion engines, especially when the oil fields are completely submerged.
New subscriber and my uncle love the waterworld movie
Always great to meet a fellow drifter! Welcome aboard!
great video as always
Thanks Cédric! Did you change your channel's name??
Yeah, didn't want it to focus on my name :D
Hope you're doing well across the pond
Really hope someone scans and translates that manga. It looks so cool
Haha, thanks for remembering me. I should really get on that.
@@TheAtoll I tried to see if the creator ever did any other work but they only made like 3 other manga, which is a shame. Outside of star wars and star trek, it's harder to find manga adaptations of American movies
Macaw45 sent me here. I stan Waterworld.
Glad you found the channel! I don't think I know Macaw45, are they a TH-camr??
@@TheAtoll he's on twitch, but he is a big fan of Waterworld and has been telling us all to subscribe to this channel for a few days now lol. Really great content!
Really channeling Vanna White in this one 😂
Haha, yes, it's a bit of a running joke here on the channel!
Waterworld Manga?! Excellent
It's so good!
When the tv show comes out I hope that they’ll mention the leviathan in the series or hoping will they’ll show what happened to the mariner after he defeated the leviathan
Yes, we shall see if the TV series will uses the comics as official cannon!
@@TheAtoll wish they release a trailer for the tv series by now
@@omarhaq9635 yes, here we are. A whole year has passed since the Collider article dropped and we still have not had a single piece of news about the TV show. I suspect it will be at least another two years before we see a trailer.
@@TheAtoll you know we should know if there is remaining flying machines in water world besides only Gregory’s flying machine and the deacons plane
At lease we know the the deacons origin
29:26 is that a sail I spot in the fleet of tub boats? I guess this manga deacon doesn't hate sails lol
The manga looks amazing, do you know of a place where I could watch that deleted scene of the smokers attacking new Oasis?
Oh yeah! I did not notice the sail there!
I don't know a place were the full scene of two Smokers attacking New Oasis exist, besides on the DVDs. It's not very long at all, just 2 jetskiers come out of the darkness and demand the Atollers give them everything they have and then they are suprise attack from the Mariner who drowns them. The scene ends with the Mariner pulling up to the Atollers boats on one of the commandeered jetski.
@@TheAtoll Thanks, I applaud your efforts in getting the manga, hope its translated one day.
Love it
Thank you Jens!
What If Henry Cavill Replace Kevin Costner As The Mariner in Waterworld Sequel Based Comic's Story, Henry Cavill Produced To And James Wan As Directed 🏄♂️🦑🦞🌊🎥🦈
Okay I can see that! James Wan because of his experience with Aquaman?
Waterworld Manga!?
It blow my mind too!!!!!
**aircraft carrier 🙂
Haha! True!
@@TheAtoll I'm placing my bets that the carrier might be the Enterprise or one of the three conventional powered aircraft carriers or one of the Nimitz class.
I do agree with that assumption and if it is true it could open to door for a nuclear powered society mabey like the children of atom in fallout 4
Hell there might be a military society Wich haves American (or what ever country’s origin) culture and morals.
@@qmacaulay69 that would be freaking awesome 👍👍
This comic seems like a less intelligent version of the movie with many similarities and ideas that are not as creative as a sequel to said movie should be. That's why I would consider this story semi canon
yeah, I think this is a common with most of the comics that extend a franchise's story. in the end, a comic run has a lot lower risk than a full fledged sequel and a lot less creative energy put behind it. Also, the people behind the Waterworld comic series seem actively against it. if you read the "notes to dryland" published with each issue, they openly bash their own creation.
This video is pure dirt! :) (I mean that as a compliment!)
Haha! The highest of complements!
I really dont know why this got shit on so hard when it came out. Like Waterworld was a joke to anlot of people and I'm just like why, this is such a good movie. There could easily be a ton more lore amd stories. I feel like maybe the underlying message of environmental catastrophe made people bounce off it, since we know there's a ton of deniers for that.
Yeah I'm not sure why either. It's possibly because of it's environmental undertones, but also I think at the time, it just become a punch line for entertainment magazine and late night TV, which had much more influence in the 90s. Then I guess the whole public just went with that narrative.
Half of your clicks are from me
Haha! Glad to hear your enjoying the video!
@@TheAtoll Thanks for the many hours of fun your professional Fan-Content has provided to me.
