It's interesting to consider the reasons this coin was designed the way it was. It is quite an odd choice that inevitably drew criticism. Either way, I still think it's quite a nice coin, even if it does have a four-legged tripod. Maybe even more so because of that? Somehow makes it more interesting to me. Almost certainly wouldn't have done a video about it if it was a three-legged tripod. Interesting to think about I guess lol.
Besides the elephant in the room being the tripod on the coin having four legs it's actually a solid design hell if it had three legs I'd think it's perfect and it's kinda how I've always pictured the tripod to look in my mind
I love how certain artists will try to flatter anybody with total bullshittery to hide their gaffs or in the case I wanted to draw something different because I think I know better.
When it's not movie studios inability to create a faithful adaptation to the War of the Worlds, it's the Royal Mint being unable to honor H.G. Wells with a coin featuring a Martian Tripod with three legs.

@@26th_Primarch True, Forgot about that one. I was a kid when that came out, and I constantly keep forgetting about that specific failure. Most people say its Federation Propaganda in-universe and that it does nothing but mislead new recruits right into a body-bag.
I agree 100% with the criticism of the quadrapod, because it is a commemorative coin with the purpose to represent H.G. Wells & **"his"** literary works... & the Tripod is iconic to his story. Any artistic interpretation of a 3 legged fighting machine would have been acceptable, even if nobody liked the design, because it would have been a representation of the iconic TRIpod. Depicting the fighting machine as a quadrapod, makes it more representative to the ATAT of Star Wars, the Goliath of Robotech, or any of the quadmechs of Battletech. This design change would be akin to depicting the Mayflower as a submarine or a GR-75 Rebel Transport. Yeah... they are both "ships"... but the image of the Mayflower as a sailing ship is iconic, because it historically was a sailing ship.
The obvious inaccuracy of a four-legged "tripod" aside, if I'm not mistaken the body is among the most accurate. It's been several decades since I read the book, but didn't it describe the body as resembling an upturned cup on top of a saucer? Or am i remembering something else?
Sorry but if you're going to memorialize someone and what they're known for HAVE IT BE ACCURATE TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL, there's a reason why the author of the World War Z book hated the World War Z film so much!
It would've been funny if there had been a minting error that somehow made it look like it had three legs. A few years ago there was a 'First World War Centenary Navy £2 Coin' featuring a battleship, however there was a rare error on some pressings of it which coincidentally perfectly made it seem as though there was a flag on it's mast, which was absent from the standard issue. I somehow ended up with both versions just from my casual change lol.

I think the coolest-looking tripods based on War of the Worlds was way way back when I was a kid. Back in the mid-1980's there was an issue of Omni Magazine which had an interesting mechanical interpretation of the tripods. They were red-colored and had a sort of beaky "head" which the pilot martian would reside in.

I am gonna be honest, the Artist is barley at fault here. The real blame is to whoever approved the design and send it to mint. And as everyone else has pointed out: It has 'Tri' in its name buddy artist. You can draw what you want of course but if you submit your art to a institution you gonna live with criticism. PS: The Five Limbed design was better anyways. Would still be a curiosity but it would feel a lot more intentional.
"ROYAL MAIL!" You are forgiven, some things are just odd. For example, here in Texas we call it the "mail" however it is the "US Postal Service." Most British people I know call it "The Post," whereas it's the "Royal Mail." Perhaps this is a slip of the mind resulting from a "four-legged" tripod's uncanny imagery. 😂
Ha, I was literally thinking that yesterday or the day before! 'Why is it called the 'Royal Mail' if British people call it "The Post"?' I'd never considered what you just said though, that's a really good point! It's pretty funny how it's the total opposite in America. 😂
@@pupbenny I enjoy teaching about Britian in my Human Geography classes. It is a case study on similar cultures, cousin cultures, which still have a lot of nuances and right proper differences. That is a great place to begin with War of the Worlds when it is adapted for an American audiences. Distances, for example, I have a 30 mile commute daily....and it is through desolate lands. It takes almost a day's travel to leave Texas. I often, when reading the initial book am amazed how people first treat the invasion. It's like it is so far away and those initially unaffected are oblivious. Here in South Texas the distances would worsen that. You know, I have an Indie comicbook. I think I will make a story arc based on War of the Worlds, I call it "War of thr Whirls" and set it in South Texas.
@@josecarrales2842 You might as well do a story arc based on War of the Worlds if you wanted to considering it's public domain and anyone can do anything they want to with it haha. I think one of the most fascinating things about War of the Worlds is the fact that there's so many versions which can consequently be compared. I often say 'comparison is the most beautiful thing' which is a pretty odd saying, I suppose, and probably not entirely true, but what I mean is comparing things is something people are very interested in and attracted to. I came up with this phrase after being fascinated as a child looking at the covers of Star Wars Battlefront 1 and Star Wars Battlefront 2, one featuring a Stormtrooper and the other a Clone Trooper, and being fascinated at the differences between them. There's something attractive about things being similar yet different, and War of the Worlds is practically a breeding ground for such comparisons. (I suppose it's probably also the reason the 'Tier List' became a fad on TH-cam.)
This design is a very interesting the design, I mean it's not book accurate, but I can see how it could function, I could see it moving like a spider along the hillside or towering over London town, it's in some ways very imposing. Like I'm working on my own War of the Worlds sort of film and I have my own designs for Tripods some taking inspiration from other artists and some from HG. Wells concept of the Tripods and some of The Martians themselves, I've even come up with my own Ideas of How the Martians work and operate, Unfortunately TH-cam does not allow us to show pictures on here so I can't really show some of the concepts on here, Kind of a long comment but, Just had to say it.
I would probably say the bureaucrats considering they presumably had a great amount of choice on what design to pick and yet they still chose the four legged tripod.
It's called a Slig and it's from a game series called Oddworld. :) Though the series, I think, is more commonly referred to by the title of it's first game, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. It was very popular back in the PS1 days. If you don't recognise it from that, I also have MANY videos on my channel about the series so perhaps you might've casually seen the thumbnails and recognise it from them maybe.
Thanks pupbenny for the reply! My age, 71, predates any of what you mentioned. Keep up the videos and I love your 'mustache'! Love the voice and accent too! Wish I had a picture of you I saw in one of the gown you wore looking so mature! Take care of yourself and know you got a new fan here! 😊
I'll be completely honest, I do not mind the quad-pod at all for several reasons, and here's one of em --> If a Tripod gets a leg blown off then it's fallin down " *TIMMMMMMMBEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* " style and it's done for unless it can either detach its head and becomes a UFO or it arrived on Earth with electricity legs like the ones from the 1953 movie; with four legs, if one gets blown off, it can still walk effectively.
But if designed to use four legs, they would be placed proportionately around the body. Losing one leg would mean it would be off balance and likely to topple over anyway. If not that then it would be unable to move due to an offset to its centre of gravity. In a maintenance capacity, four legs would require more work to keep them in good order than just having three, and when you're invading another planet, overall mission costs can spiral so keeping maintenance costs down is a big factor in your design process.
@@ShinyHelmet I have no shame in admitting you have some seriously valid points Helmet, those are indeed some valid points. And my apology if this part of my reply comes off as me havin a stick up my ass about this, I really don't mean for that message to come across. But I always imagined the walking stile of the minus one legged quad-pod to be similar to that of animals (most notably house cats and dogs) whenever they're missing a leg; I can also imagen that the area of the theoretical quad-pod where the legs meets the hip/body area are on a rail of sorts, kinda like how us humans are able to twist our legs 90 degrees where the femur/thigh bone meets the hips, these quad-pods can rotate its legs too the area needed most for better maneuverability. . and when a leg's blown off it can switch too the classic tripod design we all know and love and keep killing as many people as possible. Hell, it might even go as far as being able to straight up eject the broken leg and fully become a tripod, why lug around a broken bit of equipment when your war machine is able to maneuver around quite well with just three legs, plus it's not like the target planet's militaries are gonna be able to capitalize on the now obtainable alien tech when it's severally struggling to just survive, on top of a even more theoretical possibility of the invading aliens having drones that can pick up the leg pieces and bring it too repair stations well into the secured alien territory where they set up temporary repair stations.
He himself actually admits he didn’t properly read the book himself. On the other hand many of the details are spot on so he at least put SOME time in it. Then the rather close resemblance to some other details in the text actually deny the claim of wanting to be original at all cost. As far as the commission goes: They didn’t read the book either but just got glowing eyes from his already established reputation, assuming that is all there was to it. Talent is always less valued then connections, however often the opposite is claimed. We all know what the real world is like. As far as the top hat goes: that controversy totally pales in comparison to the tripod botch up. And indeed: As a coin design it is very effective. But the extra leg cannot be rubbed away. Not literally. Not figuratively.
I think it's funny to have an tripod with four legs, I've always wondered if an quadripod wouldn't make more sense from an technological approach. I prefer 3 legs because it's different but really like it the way it is and would gladly have one Also ye talk about tin tin tripod :) Edit:6:33 THERE IS AN ANIMATION OF THAT ART? Edit of edit: let's make an competition of our own quadripod/tripod designs :)
I made that animation, however I've since found out that other people have already animated the same image far better than I did. :) I saw it on Reddit but am not sure where to find it exactly, I guess if you type in 'correa tripod animation' somewhere it might come up.
12:13 Not going to lie, I would buy a coin with a fighter jet on it. If the reference image you used for this was a real coin then that would be nice to know.
It actually was, surprisingly! I was going to Photoshop an image of a plane onto the coin like the TV one but then was like 'wait, maybe that already exists' so looked it up and turns out this 'F-35 Lightning II' coin was part of a 2018 'Royal Air Force Centenary Collection'.
Everyone is complaining about 4 legs not beibg accurate to the text, yet no one complains that no adaptation depicts a tripod locomoting like "a milking stool tilted and violently bowled across the ground." There’s room to complain about 4 legs AFTER someone succeeds in accurately animating this fundamental trait of a Martian tripod. Or how about heat rays that don't project light but just cause things to burst in flames with no visible beam. That is also fundamental to the war machines. Hmm, license is taken ther too.

It has 4 legs instead of 3, making it a quadrupod instead of a tripod.

I don't think this artist did very much research. We know what the Mayflower looked like. In fact they built a replica the public can visit.
God I love it when people complain on the internet.
Uhh... Have you seen the _other_ musical machines?
I am gonna be honest, the Artist is barley at fault here. The real blame is to whoever approved the design and send it to mint.
And as everyone else has pointed out: It has 'Tri' in its name buddy artist. You can draw what you want of course but if you submit your art to a institution you gonna live with criticism.
PS: The Five Limbed design was better anyways. Would still be a curiosity but it would feel a lot more intentional.
I think how you potray the design in your 3d model is the best compromise. Using only three legs to walk and the 4th appengade as an arm.
"ROYAL MAIL!" You are forgiven, some things are just odd. For example, here in Texas we call it the "mail" however it is the "US Postal Service." Most British people I know call it "The Post," whereas it's the "Royal Mail." Perhaps this is a slip of the mind resulting from a "four-legged" tripod's uncanny imagery. 😂
Ha, I was literally thinking that yesterday or the day before! 'Why is it called the 'Royal Mail' if British people call it "The Post"?' I'd never considered what you just said though, that's a really good point! It's pretty funny how it's the total opposite in America. 😂
@@pupbenny I enjoy teaching about Britian in my Human Geography classes. It is a case study on similar cultures, cousin cultures, which still have a lot of nuances and right proper differences.
That is a great place to begin with War of the Worlds when it is adapted for an American audiences. Distances, for example, I have a 30 mile commute daily....and it is through desolate lands. It takes almost a day's travel to leave Texas. I often, when reading the initial book am amazed how people first treat the invasion. It's like it is so far away and those initially unaffected are oblivious. Here in South Texas the distances would worsen that.
You know, I have an Indie comicbook. I think I will make a story arc based on War of the Worlds, I call it "War of thr Whirls" and set it in South Texas.
@@josecarrales2842 You might as well do a story arc based on War of the Worlds if you wanted to considering it's public domain and anyone can do anything they want to with it haha.
I think one of the most fascinating things about War of the Worlds is the fact that there's so many versions which can consequently be compared. I often say 'comparison is the most beautiful thing' which is a pretty odd saying, I suppose, and probably not entirely true, but what I mean is comparing things is something people are very interested in and attracted to. I came up with this phrase after being fascinated as a child looking at the covers of Star Wars Battlefront 1 and Star Wars Battlefront 2, one featuring a Stormtrooper and the other a Clone Trooper, and being fascinated at the differences between them. There's something attractive about things being similar yet different, and War of the Worlds is practically a breeding ground for such comparisons. (I suppose it's probably also the reason the 'Tier List' became a fad on TH-cam.)
This design is a very interesting the design, I mean it's not book accurate, but I can see how it could function, I could see it moving like a spider along the hillside or towering over London town, it's in some ways very imposing. Like I'm working on my own War of the Worlds sort of film and I have my own designs for Tripods some taking inspiration from other artists and some from HG. Wells concept of the Tripods and some of The Martians themselves, I've even come up with my own Ideas of How the Martians work and operate, Unfortunately TH-cam does not allow us to show pictures on here so I can't really show some of the concepts on here, Kind of a long comment but, Just had to say it.
Tin tin tripod it looks interesting
looks more like Tetrapod rather then tripod
I have never seen at tripod
Who is more to blame, the artist who created a four legged tripod or the bureaucrats who approved the design?
I would probably say the bureaucrats considering they presumably had a great amount of choice on what design to pick and yet they still chose the four legged tripod.
surely if need be couldn't they reissue the design but add something to the extra leg to be the arm holding the heat ray?
I'm fascinated by the creature that narrates these pupbenny war of the worlds! I've seen him before somewhere. Who are you?
It's called a Slig and it's from a game series called Oddworld. :) Though the series, I think, is more commonly referred to by the title of it's first game, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. It was very popular back in the PS1 days. If you don't recognise it from that, I also have MANY videos on my channel about the series so perhaps you might've casually seen the thumbnails and recognise it from them maybe.
Thanks pupbenny for the reply! My age, 71, predates any of what you mentioned. Keep up the videos and I love your 'mustache'! Love the voice and accent too! Wish I had a picture of you I saw in one of the gown you wore looking so mature! Take care of yourself and know you got a new fan here! 😊
Shame about the "and" at 22:10 but well done sir.
Still a cool coin
Agreed! :)
HEY DID YOU KNOW THAT JEFF WAYNE WAS PLANNING FOR A FILM!THERE ARE CONCEPT ART OF IT IN REDDIT
do war of the severs
I will do eventually. :)
I'll be completely honest, I do not mind the quad-pod at all for several reasons, and here's one of em --> If a Tripod gets a leg blown off then it's fallin down " *TIMMMMMMMBEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* " style and it's done for unless it can either detach its head and becomes a UFO or it arrived on Earth with electricity legs like the ones from the 1953 movie; with four legs, if one gets blown off, it can still walk effectively.
But if designed to use four legs, they would be placed proportionately around the body. Losing one leg would mean it would be off balance and likely to topple over anyway. If not that then it would be unable to move due to an offset to its centre of gravity. In a maintenance capacity, four legs would require more work to keep them in good order than just having three, and when you're invading another planet, overall mission costs can spiral so keeping maintenance costs down is a big factor in your design process.
@@ShinyHelmet I have no shame in admitting you have some seriously valid points Helmet, those are indeed some valid points.
And my apology if this part of my reply comes off as me havin a stick up my ass about this, I really don't mean for that message to come across. But I always imagined the walking stile of the minus one legged quad-pod to be similar to that of animals (most notably house cats and dogs) whenever they're missing a leg; I can also imagen that the area of the theoretical quad-pod where the legs meets the hip/body area are on a rail of sorts, kinda like how us humans are able to twist our legs 90 degrees where the femur/thigh bone meets the hips, these quad-pods can rotate its legs too the area needed most for better maneuverability. . and when a leg's blown off it can switch too the classic tripod design we all know and love and keep killing as many people as possible. Hell, it might even go as far as being able to straight up eject the broken leg and fully become a tripod, why lug around a broken bit of equipment when your war machine is able to maneuver around quite well with just three legs, plus it's not like the target planet's militaries are gonna be able to capitalize on the now obtainable alien tech when it's severally struggling to just survive, on top of a even more theoretical possibility of the invading aliens having drones that can pick up the leg pieces and bring it too repair stations well into the secured alien territory where they set up temporary repair stations.
He himself actually admits he didn’t properly read the book himself. On the other hand many of the details are spot on so he at least put SOME time in it. Then the rather close resemblance to some other details in the text actually deny the claim of wanting to be original at all cost. As far as the commission goes: They didn’t read the book either but just got glowing eyes from his already established reputation, assuming that is all there was to it. Talent is always less valued then connections, however often the opposite is claimed. We all know what the real world is like. As far as the top hat goes: that controversy totally pales in comparison to the tripod botch up. And indeed: As a coin design it is very effective. But the extra leg cannot be rubbed away. Not literally. Not figuratively.
Now it shall be quadpod
But why, a TOP HAT?
I hate how pretentious the artist sounds because his feelings got hurt over people not liking his stupid design.
It’s an original disine and he just put the gore tripod on an other lag
I dusent look bad it looks good but it’s not a tripod so it dusent even count in my option
I made this before he talked about it being like the gore one
leave it to us American, to screw things up
@@brave5089alpha why not both?!
I think it's funny to have an tripod with four legs, I've always wondered if an quadripod wouldn't make more sense from an technological approach. I prefer 3 legs because it's different but really like it the way it is and would gladly have one
Also ye talk about tin tin tripod :)
Edit:6:33 THERE IS AN ANIMATION OF THAT ART?
Edit of edit: let's make an competition of our own quadripod/tripod designs :)
I made that animation, however I've since found out that other people have already animated the same image far better than I did. :) I saw it on Reddit but am not sure where to find it exactly, I guess if you type in 'correa tripod animation' somewhere it might come up.
12:13 Not going to lie, I would buy a coin with a fighter jet on it. If the reference image you used for this was a real coin then that would be nice to know.
It actually was, surprisingly! I was going to Photoshop an image of a plane onto the coin like the TV one but then was like 'wait, maybe that already exists' so looked it up and turns out this 'F-35 Lightning II' coin was part of a 2018 'Royal Air Force Centenary Collection'.
YOU FOOL, *THERE IS NO FOURTH LEG*
It may not be a tripod but it is still cool (cooler than the war machines in my opinion... Electromagnetic legs, just call them flying machines)
14:05 A laugh.
Potato 70
This title is controversial lol
*R O Y A L M A I L*
16:03 also it has tentacles coming from the hood, so that’s a gorey tripod
Everyone is complaining about 4 legs not beibg accurate to the text, yet no one complains that no adaptation depicts a tripod locomoting like "a milking stool tilted and violently bowled across the ground." There’s room to complain about 4 legs AFTER someone succeeds in accurately animating this fundamental trait of a Martian tripod. Or how about heat rays that don't project light but just cause things to burst in flames with no visible beam. That is also fundamental to the war machines. Hmm, license is taken ther too.
It is/was a Tripod for modern audiences. Who cares about the meaning of terms.
Hi pup ive been watching your channel sense i was like 14 im a big fan you got me into Oddworld but like do you have a discord or anything? I would like to talk to you about something
