Um actually, The Heroes of Olympus series is quintilogy, not a trilogy. Also, not every book focused on a new child of a new god. By the time we reach the 3rd book, we're already introduced to our seven main characters. And while you were correct that Egyptian gods don't formally have children but take hosts, no Egyptian gods appear in The Heroes of Olympus series. They appear in the Kane Chronicles, which is a separate series by Riordan
Now that is mostly correct. Now, I don't know if the short story is part of the Heroes of Olympus series but there is a short story where Annebeth/Percy meet up with the main characters from the Kane Chronicles
@@Mr1991bbk I know the novella you’re referring to, but I don’t think it technically goes in any one series, I think that’s just a general Riordanverse thing
Um actually, they specifically DON'T separate the Greek and Roman gods, they make it clear that they change depending on the beliefs of who is near to them. An example is when dionysus switches back and forth with bachus when jason and percy seek him out. Its sort of a split personality thing.
Well, I think they count as separate up until the events of the story. It is really only when they are specifically called upon as both aspects in the same location that conflict actually arises. For the most part, they exist as fully separate entities from what I can tell
It really depends on how different the characterization is between the two mythologies. Apollo has almost no differences when he is being Roman or Greek. Athena/Minerva has very different interpretations and can barely function until Percy and Annabeth bring her statue, that used to be one of the seven wonders, to Camp Half-blood. Mars treats Percy's victory over Ares, in the first book, as something that never happened to himself and wouldn't have worked-out as well for Percy if the fight had been Percy vs Mars.
well, technically, dionysus and bacchus are both the roman spellings of the god, as dionysos and bacchos are used interchangeably in greek mythology to refer to the same god in their pantheon. and he's technically not counted among the olympians.
@@eflarsen he's technically counted among the Olympians in Greek mythology where he was called Dionysus, and then got sincretized with the Roman God Bacchus.
Um actually, in SAO kirito isnt "always trapped" only in the first game is he trapt, in the 2nd game he is attempting to rescue his wife (who he married in the game) and in the 3rd game he is brought in by a government agency to discover how people are being killed in Gun Gale online and dying in real life.
If this is accurate, it is more accurate to say that there were 4 seasons of this anime, because there is Alcilization, which doesn't deal around Deathgun, but is further into the anime.
Um actually practically everything you said about the heroes of Olympus was wrong, it is five books not a trilogy, no Egyptian gods (although their is another series in the same universe that feature them) hence Olympus a purely greko-roman concept, each book doesn't reveal a new demigod all the main characters are introduced in the first two and the big three gods (Zeus, Poseidon an Hades) have nothing to do with the demigods introduced, and the Greek and roman gods are canonically the same people but with slightly different personalities.
I don't know if whoever wrote the question takes "trilogy" as in the three series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus and The Kane Chronicles, that might explain it. But yeah, the question is wrong. Also, the Greek demigods are introduced in the PJatO series, we meet two children of Hades, Nico and Bianca.
The way that question is worded is very awkward. If by "Heroes of Olympus" they mean just the 3 series Riordan was doing at that time, then that portion of the Major Gods makes no sense. Even so, Percy and Thalia were introduced in Lightning Thief, Nico and Bianca in Titan's Curse, so the rest of the books don't introduce new characters from those gods. But if they meant "Heroes of Olympus Trilogy" as in Lost Hero, Son of Neptune, and Mark of Athena like potentially when this episode came out, it STILL makes no sense. Jason/Thalia was book 1, Nico/Percy/Hazel/Frank were book 2. And none were really introduced in book 3. And at that point, I'm pretty sure it hadn't been established that the Greco-Roman gods had ever interacted with the Egyptian ones since they first crossed in Son of Sobek which was after Mark of Athena. Edit: I completely forgot Frank was a legacy of Neptune. Whoops.
@@VVheeli i guess its supposed to mean trilogy of series and thats why the problem is the egyption gods dont have children since in pjo we have greek demigods then hoo has roman demigods and kane has egyptitian magicians
@@VVheeli Also, while Thalia is the daughter of Zeus, Jason is the son of Jupiter. It is even remarked upon, I believe by Chiron, that it is extremely unusual for one family to have children that have different manifestations of the same god as a parent.
Riordan also seems to have scrubbed Children of Kane from the larger canon after he completed the trilogy and abandoned the planned crossover after listening to community activists.
Um actually, in Riordan’s works Poseidon is in fact not always a Greek god and the Greek and Roman gods aren’t different beings. They’re essentially alter-egos that inhabit the same bodies, but with the Greeks on the East coast of the US and with Romans on the West coast of the US.
Yeah, so many things wrong with the question: Its the same being with two different personalities (gods, lesser beings are different "species"), and they can change from one to the other, sometimes at will and sometimes involuntarily, causing them pain while trying to keep a form. Also, the kids of the three big demigods on the Greek side are revealed in the first series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In Heroes of Olympians its revealed the Roman side of things. Oh, there are more than one child of Hades in the first series, Nico and his sister Bianca. And also, its 5 books. Also, havent finished Blood of Olympus, so I dont know if saying that THIS series contains the gods of Egypt is wrong, or thats just on the next one.
I don't think it's what happened. She multiple times said she had played the game, just didn't remember what it was. She named a game she had played and it happened to be the correct one.
Um Actually, Martian Manhunter is not the last living Green Martian on the TV series. Malefic J'onzz, his brother, is still alive after testing J'onn's resolve for Crisis on Infinite Earths.
@@jonjones8468 still she is also another living martian so that answer would have worked. He didn't specify green martian which is a part of his question.
Um, actually, Cro-Magnons aren't distinct from modern humans in a taxonomical sense, it's an outdated term that refers to early modern humans that lived in Europe at the same time as Neanderthals. Their skulls were a little bit chunkier than ours, but we're still even the same subspecies.
Another correction on the JoJo question is that not every Stand is related to fighting spirit: for example, Tonio’s Pearl Jam manifested from his passion for cooking.
Each Part has at least one Stand that's formed by mastery of a particular, usually mystical, skill. For example, Hermit Purple is formed from the Ripple, Pillar Man Modes are the result of accupuncture, Atum and Osiris are based on gambling, Pearl Jam is from a combination of cooking, herbalism, and palmistry, Cinderella is based on hairdressing, Rolling Stone is based on sculpture, Dragon's Dream is based on Feng Shui Kung-Fu, Ball Breaker is based on the Super Spin, and Paper King Moon is based on Origami.
yeah theres alot of stuff wrong with the jojo one. for instance death thirteen itself isnt trapping you in a dream world, your own sleep is the thing keeping you in there, and cream doesnt create voids, he is one
@@BichaeldeAngelo Not that I recall, but one person who's not in this show, Ify, gets questions about video games wrong all the time despite being a gaming buff. I think its very different being on a show like this than being home talking to a friend about it seems more like what's happening here
Um Actually, heroes of Olympus isn’t a trilogy, it has five books. And also the Egyptian thing is inaccurate too I think. They occur in the same universe but I don’t think they actually show up in the heroes of Olympus series
They do interact, but not in that particular series. There was in fact a crossover trilogy where carter and sadie team up with annabeth and percy to stop setne. The host thing is accurate, sort of an avatar thing like the good kite monster and wan
"Oops, me make big mistake, and you catch." Honestly, the "send us your corrections" clips are sometimes some of the funniest parts of the episodes. My favorite is the enthusiastic "Well, we fucked up."
Uhm actually Jondalar, Ayla's boyfriend, was Cromagnon (early homo sapiens) too (valley of horses). Also, she didn't invent the digitalis based medicine, she learned it from the Neanderthals who raised her- it was used in their spiritual rituals and she was exposed to it during her training to be a medicine woman (clan of the cave bear).
And Jondalar invented the atlatl in the books after watching her hunt with her sling. The needle was a group effort between her, Jondalar and at least one other person. Even the travios wasn't all her. The clan men had been using a similar device, she just figured out how to attach it to a horse. This is really giving her far more credit than the book implies. So really there's a lot wrong with this question.
@@ladykoiwolfe to be fair though, she's still freakily talented with invention and modification. She doesn't get as much credit as the question implies, but she still gets way more credit than any one person at the time should.
The "Betrayal of the House on the HIll" situation is EXACTLY why I love Trapp so much. Just lets it play out then gives her the point. He is such a wonderful dude it seems and he is perfect for this show and everything he does on Dropout.
Umm actually in SAO Kirito is not trapped in the other games he is only trapped in Aincrad. He enters Alfheim online to rescue Asuna, and enters gun gale online to solve the murders that are happening in game and IRL but he can and does leave those games several times.
Well technically since the question mentions 3 seasons Kirito was also trapped in the Underworld, even though the circumstances were rather different in that case to Aincrad.
The audio mix for this episode is -really- ALL OVER THE PLACE. I've been binging loads today, and this one has me turning up the volume to hear them speaking, and then it deafens me with the music for the next round.
Trapp’s pronunciation of Riordan caused me physical pain and I will be suing. Also, they acknowledge that the Greek and Roman gods are different aspects of the same god. In Mark of Athena, Athena/Minerva is literally having a mental breakdown because of the multiple personalities. Finally, I’m really happy there being a percy Jackson question
Um Actually, Ser Ilyn Payne doesn't get sent to the Wall. His actor was battling cancer so he sort of just stopped appearing. It can be assumed he was in King's Landing during the final season, and while his death is never confirmed, the odds don't look that good for him.
Um actually Hypnotoad isnt a pet, he is the protagonist of the hit TV show 'Everybody Loves Hypnotoad'. Since he uses his hypnopower to his advantage in several scenes; he seems to be sapient. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.
Um actually Hypnotoad's first appearance is in "The Day The Earth Stood Stupid" when they win the pet show. Granted, Zoidberg and Nibbler are also entered in that pet show, and they're both sapient creatures. But it would be fair to call Hypnotoad a pet given that context.
Um actually, in the heroes of olympus we do not see any egyptian gods or anything like them. The egyptian gods appear in another of Riordans series which shares a universe with the heroes of olympos. The most we get of any gods that are not related to the mythology of that specific series (Greek gods for heroes of olympos, norde gods for magnus chace etc) are these minor references. Of course Riordan has slowly began to remove the borders between the different mythologies in his books, as can be seen in the Trials Of Apollo series in which we, for example, meet a demigod of a (I think) mayan god.
Actually there was a crossover trilogy where they fought setne. Also there were pretty blatant references to percy jackson and magnus chase. Annabeth is even magnu' cousin
@@TheBigE9999 First of all, I get the references. Secondly, HOW have I never heard of that trilogy. I had to go check if you were lying, but no, it's real, and I didn't know it existed. Also my correction still stands on the fact that heroes of olympos has none of the egyptians in it.
Um actually, there is a short story in which Percy works together with Carter Kane. the other short story is a crossover with Annabeth and Sadie working together. so not minor referances really
Um Actually, those little cubes really ARE used as prominent pieces in a several board games beyond just Pandemic. It's a Wonderful World and Terraforming Mars both use those exact cubes in multiple colors!
Um actually heros of Olympus has 5 books, the greek series also has 5 books, the Kane Chronicles (Egyptian) is indeed a trilogy, and the Norse gods also get a trilogy. In the first series, you, the reader do not find out about any sets of gods other than the Greek gods, and neither do any of the protagonists but it is later revealed that the things the Roman gods and their children were doing actually had some impact on the Percy Jackson books Edited: accidentally called Percy Jackson the Roman series not the Greek series
The only similarity is that it takes place in a house. In clue you're looking for clues to solve a murder, while in BAHOTH you're exploring a haunted mansion with paranormal goings-on for a number of reasons and have to survive the betrayal of one of your companions. They really could not be less alike, with the exception of the house.
Can you do compilations of your specific shiny questions? Like the Hear me Roar ones are super fun and having like a 10 minute long compilation would be extremely fun to do with a group of people. Even if the compilation would only be on Dropout that would just be more incentive to get Dropout lol
I’m, Actually Gold Experience’s ability works with organic material too not just inorganic. As shown by Giorno turning his teeth into a jellyfish or when he transformed his blood into a swarm of ants.
Um, actually, while the Scrolls themselves rarely make physical appearances within the games, each installment (with the exception of Redguard) does have a different Elder Scroll play an important role. Namely, you, the player character, the Prisoner Hero who has perception transcending causality (according to the god Sotha Sil in ESO) and whose imprisonment severs them from bone-drawn destiny and as such whose existence is not recorded by the Scrolls, can be accurately if somewhat metaphorically (keeping in mind metaphors are often literal; see for instance the War of Manifest Metaphors) said to actually be the scribe of the Scroll detailing the Event the game centers around (as for example alluded to by Chancellor Ocato at the end of Oblivion's main quest). Scribing the Scroll is the entirety of gameplay, and as such it could not be playing a more important role. But even though Redguard is the only installment without a Prisoner Hero, Cyrus the Restless is still a Hero, and as the imperial Battlemage (and part of the many-headed Talos) Zurin Arctus famously said: "Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." The Prophecy of the Event being recorded by the Scrolls of course. As such, even in Redguard the influence of an Elder Scroll is keenly felt. Or, if we go into even weirder territory, it's a valid interpretation of the lore to say that the game disc is itself an Elder Scroll, and the player is merely reading it, which in turn would qualify as a different Scroll playing a critically important part of each installment. And then if we get even weirder, Bethesda Softworks has claimed that they have three Elder Scrolls in their basement that they read and interpret to learn about Tamriel and its Events. This was essentially a way of justifying the various inconsistencies between the games; transcription errors are inevitable when consulting the Scrolls, especially in the conversion from divine to mortal text, and as such the world the games depict is necessarily a flawed interpretation of the underlying reality. Under this hyperdiegetic interpretation, these three Scrolls also serve to play a critical role in every installment. Alas, not a different Scroll for each game in this case, but it still serves to show that the intended correction was not in fact correct at all. TL;DR: as phrased, the Elder Scrolls statement is in fact completely without error for reasons probably more bullshit and pedantic than anything else seen on Um, Actually to date. Though, yes, it is true that the first on-screen appearance of an Elder Scroll wasn't until The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and that is pretty buck-wild and exactly the kind of trivia it's ideal to base a round of this game around. Also, um, actually, The Elder Scrolls Legends: Battlespire is not primarily set on Tamriel, but on a space station in a slipstream dimension. It's not just not set on Tamriel, nor even the plane(t) Nirn, but in a whole other multiverse.
you kind of forget how much the elder scrolls have lore-wise but every time I see someone talking about it, it will almost always be 10 paragraphs long about how a country was born and the events they took part in or another subject.
@@Stafarns I've never seen a franchise with more lore (and, especially, dank lore) that didn't have the equivalent of an entire publishing imprint churning out novels for decades. Well, Nasu (Fate/Stay Night etc) comes close, but I'm not as familiar with it and it relies more on real life lore to convey its lore efficiently. TES is something special.
Um, actually, Jondalar is NOT a Neanderthal. He is homosapien, same as Ayla, which were also called Cro-Magnon. Ayla's foster family and most of the other characters in the first book are Neanderthal, or as they are called in he books, Clan.
Yes, thank you. “Earth’s Children” might not stand up to modern genetics, but it’s a major plot point starting in VotH that Jondalar is repulsed by Neanderthals. Also, they credit Ayla with cookies - which Ranec makes for a feast - and the atlatl - which Jondalar invented inspired by Ayla’s sling. But they overlook her domesticating the cave lion 🙄 Yes, Ayla is the og Mary Sue
@@AuntieDawnsKitchen she didn't invent the digitalis based medicine either. She learned it from the Neanderthals during her training to be a medicine woman.
I remember reading Clan and Valley as a teenager, fascinated by the supplemental materials (like various Venus statues lol). Now, I can rekindle my interest in Earth's Children. Thanks, Um, Actually!
Um actually, Cro-Magnon is an outdated term that refers to early modern Homo Sapiens, so it’s incorrect to say that Ayla isn’t a modern human. Also, Jondalar was also an early modern human, not a Neanderthal. Ayla in fact does not live with Neanderthals at all after the first book.
Um, actually, the so-called “unnamed cabbage merchant” mentioned in the answer to the Legend of Korra question does have a name. He is named Lau Gan-Lan.
Um Actually Notorious BIG (pronounced "big", not spelled out) only activates _when_ the user dies. How the user figured out he has a death-activated stand is one of those mysteries that the author Hirohito Araki hasn't answered.
Earth's Children, not a children's story, yet my highschool had the full set. That librarian was secretly stocking her romance favorites and counting on the HS students not to read the 900+ page books.
Yeah this one had the strong vibe of "we JUST thought of this game and have not figured out exactly how it should play yet" haha. You can't randomly pick from hidden objects when they all have different shapes! What if someone picks the same un-guessed objects multiple times! Gotta workshop that a bit more :)
19:50 Um actually, Cro-Magnon is a now outdated term and anthropologists no longer consider them separate from modern humans. Also Jondalar is not a neanderthal, he's a modern human too.
This is correct. Ayla was raised by neanderthals, but her boyfriend who she found when she left the cave in Clan of the Cave Bear is the same kind of human as she is, which in the books, I believe, has been stated to be Cro-Magnan, whether it is an outdated term or not.
@@RoderickEtheria That's true, I think the book does use Cro-Magnon. It wasn't considered outdated when (most of) the books were written, it's only been in the last couple of decades that the term has dropped out of use as scientists concluded that the differences between what were known as Cro-Magnon and humans today were basically cultural rather than biological.
Um Actually, when revealing the answers to "What's in the Box?" Trapp says that the tile is from "Betrayal at the House on the Hill." In actuality the name of the game is "Betrayal at House on the Hill" with only one 'the.'
I’m actually Kirito is only trapped in SAO he can come and go as he pleases from Alfheilm and Gun Gale (though he gets trapped a second time in Alicization but that’s not technically a game). 🐬
Um... actually, Battlespire do not take place on Tamriel, it takes place on Battlespire and in various realms of Oblivion. Depending on how we define "continent", Morrowind and Redguard may also not take place on Tamriel, since they both take place on islands - Vvardenfell and Stros M'Kai.
Well, Morrowind at least had an expansion set in Mournhold, on the Mainland - so the game, even if you don't count islands, takes place at least partially in Tamriel!
Vvardenfell and Stros M'Kai, while not part of Mainland Tamriel, are still considered part of the continent. Pretty sure that the Summerset Isles are part of Tamriel, too, despite being an archipelago that is fairly far removed from the mainland.
However, the statement read is that "the games take place primarily on the continent of Tamriel", which does leave room for the visits to the Oblivion, Sovngarde and Summerset Isles. Since you do not, to my recollection, ever leave Tamriel in the first two games, and the visits to other realities and places in the later games (with Redguard being a notable exception) are optional (though necessary to complete the main quest) ... I'd say they're still correct on that point. I would still count both Vvardenfell (an island a fit person can swim to from the mainland) and Stros M'Kai as part of Tamriel, since they're on the same continental plate ... but I digress.
Um actually, the Heroes of Olympus series does not have the Egyptian gods directly mentioned in them. Rick Riordan has a separate series called the “Kane Chronicles” that is about the Egyptian gods which only briefly mentions the Roman ones even existing. He also has the Magnus Chase series for Norse gods
Um actually, the source material for Sword Art Online is not a manga, it's a light novel. Furthermore, Kirito is not trapped in the latter half of season 1 or season 2. The Alfheim online arc is the second half of season 1, in which he finds out his wife, who never woke up after being supposedly freed from SAO, remained trapped with her consciousness transferred into the game Alfheim Online. In the GGO arc of season 2, he investigates a player who is supposedly able to kill real players from inside the game despite the advancements in NerveGear tech that should make this impossible. In season 3, he does end up trapped, but it is not his own decision, and it is not within a game. After an attempt on his life, he suffers brain damage, and his consciousness is temporarily transferred to a virtual world to allow his brain to recover.
Um actually, in The Day the Earth Stood Stupid, the hypnotoad wins first place in the pet show, making him technically qualify as a pet, at least to his own identity ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD
Um, Actually... Sorry this is coming up so late, but here goes: Ayla is not part-neanderthal, she is fully a CroMag (yeah, I know it's Cro-Magnon, but I couldn't resist the Sliders reference.) Her original family was killed in an earthquake, and she was raised by a Neanderthal tribe whose shaman came across her after she was attacked by a cave lion. She did have a CroMag-Neanderthal hybrid son, Durc, by a Neanderthal named Broud, after which she was banished from the tribe. Furthermore, Jondalar was a CroMag like Ayla, and they got into a relationship after she healed his wounds from (coincidentally) a cave lion attack.
Um actually, technically she wasn't banished from the tribe. She was pronounced dead which meant they didn't acknowledge her existence. Technically they didn't prevent her from staying she just chose to run away.
@@trikers471 ...I understand the word "pandemic" is an actual word, and was making a joke about cognitive associations before and after the COVID pandemic...
Um Actually, there were two endings of The Descent. One in which she escaped and lived for the sequel. The other, she thinks she escaped, but it is revealed to be her imagination and she is stuck in the cave, and presumably is killed
Yeah, I think Jess missed the entire point of the question - They specifically said the "UK ending" to differentiate it from the US ending, so Jess wasn't actually correcting anything in the statement when she said there were two separate endings. The point of the question was that they were describing the ending of "The Cave" while claiming it was the UK ending of "The Descent". The correction would actually be that the UK ending features the protagonist imagining escaping, then it cutting to her back in the cave and hallucinating her dead daughter sitting across from her with a birthday cake between them, while the sounds of crawlers gradually getting closer is heard in the background.
Um actually, Kirito is only stuck in SAO in the first half of the first season. He goes to alfheim online to save asuna from being trapped by a guy her parents arranged her to marry while in the coma. The second season has gun gale online for the first half and thenthe world seed games i believe (could be wrong there) where they go on weird quests like finding excalibur. The third season is where kirito is in a coma on a military ship in an AI simulation to create AI that can think freely and some guys take over and want to control it.
8:00 there’s so much wrong here um actually, heroes of olympus is the third series published and it’s made up of five books so it’s not a trilogy. each book does not reveal a new demigod, we meet all the main characters in the first two books of the series, and no children of zeus, poseidon or hades are revealed in this series since we’ve already met them in the previous one. also heroes of olympus only focuses on greek/roman mythology while the kane chronicles is the one that focuses of egyptian mythology. i think they wanted to say the *riordanverse* instead of heroes of olympus but that would also be wrong since it’s made up of five series not three (pj and the olympians, kane chronicles, heroes of olympus, magnus chase and the gods of asgard and trials of apollo) and also includes norse mythology
that Heroes of Olympus question nearly gave me an aneurysm…..it wouldn’t have bothered me half as much if *all* of the inaccuracies had at least been acknowledged, goodness gracious
Um, actually: Ilyn Payne didn't get sent to the Wall. He just stops appearing in the show altogether with no explanation given in-universe as to why. In our universe, the reason the character stopped appearing was because the actor playing him, Wilko Johnson, was very ill, so they just retired the character rather than recast him. He never gets sent to the Wall in the books at all, and is actually the man that gets roped into helping Jaime Lannister relearn how to fight after his sword hand got cut off. Jaime even picked him specifically because his tongue got cut off decades ago, so he couldn't go blabbing off that Jaime couldn't fight. He also accompanies Jaime throughout his military campaigns after his hand got cut off. That role is given to Bronn in the show instead, who has his tongue intact and is a mercenary with his loyalty for sale to the highest bidder.
Um actually, Dr. Horrible doesn't have a last name in the comic. Billy is the only name he has. "Billy Buddy" is Penny's pet name for him in Dr. Horrible Sing Along Blog
Um Actually, nearly everything in the Rick Riordan statement was wrong. There’s five books in the Heroes of Olympus series, the Roman Gods weren’t introduced until the companion continuation of the Last Heroes series, and the Egyptian Gods were only ever part of an entirely separate series (though still in the Riordanverse), the Red Pyramid series. It would’ve been more accurate to have brought in the Norse Gods since that’s more closely related as the titular character, Magnus Chase, is Annabeth’s cousin
Um Actually, there are six statues in TLOK. There is a statue of Avatar Korra in Avatar Korra Park, or Republic City Park where Korra first arrives in Republic City and illegally fishes.
I feel like the phrase "I'll give you the point" / "I'll give it to you" was said more frequently in this episode than the norm, due to a lot of "close enough" answers without actually pinpointing the detail that needed to be corrected. But hey, at least it looks like everyone had fun in the end.
Nah. There's a reason getting close enough to the thing to get the point is called "pulling an Ify". Nobody is as good at making shots in the dark as my boi.
Um actually you said that Poseidon is always a Greek god but in the trials of Apollo, it is mentioned that Poseidon was transformed into a human by Zeus as punishment
Um Actually J'onn J'onnz is equal in strength to kryptonians, and his wider array of powers actually makes him stronger than both Kara and her Smallville boy scout cousin - who once dubbed J'onn the most powerful being on the face of the earth. Even in Injustice it took Supes and Wonder Woman to just barely beat him, put respect on Martian Manhunter's name. Um Actually, the installments don't all feature just the one scroll, Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC involves 3 scrolls; Blood, Sun and Dragon, before the DLC the scroll wasn't referred to as the Dragon scroll. In addition, the Dragon Scroll is not a prophecy the game revolves around, you need it to witness Alduin's banishment through time and learn the shout Dragonrend, the prophecy Skyrim revolves around is the prophecy of the Dragonborn, depicted on Aldiuin's Wall, and an unrevealed Elder Scroll which states that Alduin shall one day eat the world - which the Dragonborn delays when successful Um Actually, there is also a statue of Korra after the events of Book 3, the park named after her also. Um Actually Trapp since Beric died 8 times he's 'more dead than anyone else' Um Actually, Hypnotoad is not a pet since it has no owner Um Actually Hitmonlee doesn't have a mouth either, and Charizard, Onix, Victreebel, Caterpie, Mewtwo, Gyarados, Dragonite, and others also didn't speak their name
Um, actually, while J'onn is incredibly powerful, he doesn't have quite as much raw physical strength as a kryptonian (who can hold black holes in their hands, shatter reality with a punch, and _lift freaking infinity!)._ The _reasons_ that Superman considers him the most powerful being on the planet are twofold: that wider array of powers you mentioned, which includes several abilities that Superman can't easily defend against, and the fact that Superman chronically underestimates his own abilities due to all of the mental blocks he has. Even when he _says_ he's going all-out, he's subconsciously holding back. Also, the question was about the CW series, and he's explicitly stated to be weaker than Kara in the show.
@@RabblesTheBinx Um actually, Superman never lifts infinity, it’s a misconception that the book of infinite pages has infinite weight (which is also not infinite since it was read to the end), but even Shazam lifted it for a time The black hole was also miniature, and he struggled to hold it, and the shattering reality was thanks to superboy being in a prison dimension connected to walls of other dimensions, and several hits. I’m sure many heroes if they had something tangible to hit would be able to do the same But to digress, Clark’s strength has always been inconsistent, at times he’s like this but then he’ll struggle with J’onn and Diana to pull the earth with the Lasso of Truth
TBF, Kryptonian strength levels have changed way too much to have a real proper measure of it. I think only All-Star Superman explicitly states Kal-el's one-rep-max, and the ridiculous figure quoted (something in the septillions of tons) is only thanks to the lethal dose of yellow solar radiation he received at the start of the series overcharging his powers.
Um actually, there is no questing associated with elder scrolls in online they are specifically pvp content which give your alliance buff when you own them
Um Actually the correction about Dr Horrible's name is incorrect. Billy's last name is never mentioned, he was just referred to as Billy buddy as in a friend. "So keep your head up Billy buddy"
Ilyn Payne is the royal executioner (took Ned's head) and was likely in the Red Keep when it blew up, but has no on screen death. His role in the show was reduced because he was getting cancer treatment. In the books, he's currently still alive. He was never sent to The Wall, as the cast is discussing here. Also he has no tongue, so he couldn't be talking.
14:00 no, Buddy isn't his last name. That was just Penny's nickname for him. It's true that his name isn't actually Horrible, but it's not Buddy either
No, “chin up Billy buddy, there’s no room for mercy,” is a lyric that he sings to himself right before he’s about to kill Captain Hammer. It’s not a nickname from Penny.
@@McBehrer Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. "Billy Buddy" is a cute name penny called him cause they're friends and he used it again later to remind him why he's doing this. His name is Billy, that's all we know.
Um, actually, Cro-Magnon were the same species and genetically the same as "modern man." I guess you could say they aren't "modern man" because they lived thousands of years ago, but they're as much "modern man" as ancient Egyptians or ancient Romans (except chronologically even less modern).
Katarra doesn't have a statue because she's alive. All of the other characters are dead (or in Toph's case THOUGHT to be dead) at the start of the series.
The progression of SAO stories is incredible. The stakes get progressively lower and lower as the series goes on. From what I remember (spoilers if anyone cares): The first game is SAO, in which everyone is trapped and if you die in the game you die IRL, pretty high stakes there. In the second game only Asuna (Kirito's gamer gurl (oh god why did I make that joke?)) is in any danger since she's been trapped there by creepy-mc-lick-face (makes sense if you've seen... *that* scene...). Decent stakes if you care about Asuna (but you don't). In the third one there *appears* to be one guy in the game who owns a gun that can shoot people and they die IRL, but it's discovered that actually what happened is they'd plan who he shoots in-game, and some really over-complicated mechanism for assassinating those people at the same time was set-up in the real world. I have no idea what the idea for this was, maybe they were trying to get the game shut down IDFK it's SAO. Very low stakes if any. In the fourth one they play a game. That's it. It's really over-dramatic.
@@junpeil33t It'd have to be done a different way though. Maybe have the first couple episodes be the main character managing to fluke saving the world, but then they're pushed into more dangerous situations (but with lower stakes than "the world") where they struggle because, again, their world-saving "achievement" was a fluke, but now everyone expects great things of them.
I love that there's finally an episode i knew most of the answers, and even recognized somethings that are wrong in the questions. These episodes have a lot of variety!
Was the sound wonky for others? All the show sounds/musical bumps were loud, but the guests were very quiet. Also, Trapp's getting pretty lax with allowing "The Descent" alternate ending as an answer for "The Cave".
One of the only episodes I know so much of the topics, and I have so many peda tic corrections about wording and the information they have on a lot of questions 😂
Um Actually, Kirito only spends half the first season trapped in Aincrad. He spends the second half of the first season tracking down his wife in Alfiem Online, spends the first half of the second season, hunting a killer in Gun Gale Online, spends the second half of the season doing quests with his friends in Alfiem Online, and the third season, he does beta testing for a new game, where you start as a child, and grow up in the world, with time moving faster than in the real world, unlike the others were realtime.
Um actually, The Heroes of Olympus series is quintilogy, not a trilogy. Also, not every book focused on a new child of a new god. By the time we reach the 3rd book, we're already introduced to our seven main characters. And while you were correct that Egyptian gods don't formally have children but take hosts, no Egyptian gods appear in The Heroes of Olympus series. They appear in the Kane Chronicles, which is a separate series by Riordan
Now that is mostly correct. Now, I don't know if the short story is part of the Heroes of Olympus series but there is a short story where Annebeth/Percy meet up with the main characters from the Kane Chronicles
@@Mr1991bbk I know the novella you’re referring to, but I don’t think it technically goes in any one series, I think that’s just a general Riordanverse thing
I think they are all in the same world. Mostly because annabeth's cousin Magnus is a part of the Norse pantheon
It's also a 5 part series. The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, The House of Hades, and The Blood of Olympus.
@@MrGameboy123 yes they are all in the same world, that is confirmed many times, but they are still separate series
Um actually, they specifically DON'T separate the Greek and Roman gods, they make it clear that they change depending on the beliefs of who is near to them. An example is when dionysus switches back and forth with bachus when jason and percy seek him out. Its sort of a split personality thing.
Well, I think they count as separate up until the events of the story. It is really only when they are specifically called upon as both aspects in the same location that conflict actually arises. For the most part, they exist as fully separate entities from what I can tell
It really depends on how different the characterization is between the two mythologies. Apollo has almost no differences when he is being Roman or Greek. Athena/Minerva has very different interpretations and can barely function until Percy and Annabeth bring her statue, that used to be one of the seven wonders, to Camp Half-blood. Mars treats Percy's victory over Ares, in the first book, as something that never happened to himself and wouldn't have worked-out as well for Percy if the fight had been Percy vs Mars.
Szzzszszz
well, technically, dionysus and bacchus are both the roman spellings of the god, as dionysos and bacchos are used interchangeably in greek mythology to refer to the same god in their pantheon. and he's technically not counted among the olympians.
@@eflarsen he's technically counted among the Olympians in Greek mythology where he was called Dionysus, and then got sincretized with the Roman God Bacchus.
Um actually, in SAO kirito isnt "always trapped" only in the first game is he trapt, in the 2nd game he is attempting to rescue his wife (who he married in the game) and in the 3rd game he is brought in by a government agency to discover how people are being killed in Gun Gale online and dying in real life.
I wrote this out and posted it and then saw you beat me by 6 minutes XD
aaaaahh you fuck, beat me to it XD
If this is accurate, it is more accurate to say that there were 4 seasons of this anime, because there is Alcilization, which doesn't deal around Deathgun, but is further into the anime.

Furthermore if you die in alfheim you don't die in real life. I've never seen Sao only Sao abridged so clearly I am the authority on all things sao
Um actually practically everything you said about the heroes of Olympus was wrong, it is five books not a trilogy, no Egyptian gods (although their is another series in the same universe that feature them) hence Olympus a purely greko-roman concept, each book doesn't reveal a new demigod all the main characters are introduced in the first two and the big three gods (Zeus, Poseidon an Hades) have nothing to do with the demigods introduced, and the Greek and roman gods are canonically the same people but with slightly different personalities.
I don't know if whoever wrote the question takes "trilogy" as in the three series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus and The Kane Chronicles, that might explain it. But yeah, the question is wrong. Also, the Greek demigods are introduced in the PJatO series, we meet two children of Hades, Nico and Bianca.
The way that question is worded is very awkward. If by "Heroes of Olympus" they mean just the 3 series Riordan was doing at that time, then that portion of the Major Gods makes no sense. Even so, Percy and Thalia were introduced in Lightning Thief, Nico and Bianca in Titan's Curse, so the rest of the books don't introduce new characters from those gods.
But if they meant "Heroes of Olympus Trilogy" as in Lost Hero, Son of Neptune, and Mark of Athena like potentially when this episode came out, it STILL makes no sense. Jason/Thalia was book 1, Nico/Percy/Hazel/Frank were book 2. And none were really introduced in book 3. And at that point, I'm pretty sure it hadn't been established that the Greco-Roman gods had ever interacted with the Egyptian ones since they first crossed in Son of Sobek which was after Mark of Athena.
Edit: I completely forgot Frank was a legacy of Neptune. Whoops.
@@VVheeli i guess its supposed to mean trilogy of series and thats why the problem is the egyption gods dont have children since in pjo we have greek demigods then hoo has roman demigods and kane has egyptitian magicians
@@VVheeli Also, while Thalia is the daughter of Zeus, Jason is the son of Jupiter. It is even remarked upon, I believe by Chiron, that it is extremely unusual for one family to have children that have different manifestations of the same god as a parent.
Riordan also seems to have scrubbed Children of Kane from the larger canon after he completed the trilogy and abandoned the planned crossover after listening to community activists.
Um actually, in Riordan’s works Poseidon is in fact not always a Greek god and the Greek and Roman gods aren’t different beings. They’re essentially alter-egos that inhabit the same bodies, but with the Greeks on the East coast of the US and with Romans on the West coast of the US.
Yess, this bugged me so much as Trapp was saying it. I kinda hoped that the fact checker would interject. :(
That's a pretty neat distinction actually.
"New York and Maine, you guys get Poseidon and Aries, California and Washington, you get Neptune and Mars."
And not to mention if i recall corectlly the Heroes of Olympus is not the trilogy, it has six parts. So it's more of a series of books.
@@vengswass7786 heroes of Olympus is 5 books
Yeah, so many things wrong with the question:
Its the same being with two different personalities (gods, lesser beings are different "species"), and they can change from one to the other, sometimes at will and sometimes involuntarily, causing them pain while trying to keep a form.
Also, the kids of the three big demigods on the Greek side are revealed in the first series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In Heroes of Olympians its revealed the Roman side of things.
Oh, there are more than one child of Hades in the first series, Nico and his sister Bianca.
And also, its 5 books.
Also, havent finished Blood of Olympus, so I dont know if saying that THIS series contains the gods of Egypt is wrong, or thats just on the next one.
12:39 i love how she sarcastically guessed the entire title of the game word for word. Literally a comedy series moment
Clutch move, Mrs. Malika!!!! She is awesome!
I don't think it's what happened. She multiple times said she had played the game, just didn't remember what it was. She named a game she had played and it happened to be the correct one.
Um Actually, Martian Manhunter is not the last living Green Martian on the TV series. Malefic J'onzz, his brother, is still alive after testing J'onn's resolve for Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Yes but it all depends when they shot this episode its possible when this episode originally aired his brother wasn't introduced yet
@@josephrange2656 correct. All these shot in the studio came before the covid lockdown.
Isn't there a female green martian?
@@CrymsonNite (spoilers) While she appeared to be a Green Martian in the beginning, she was revealed to actually be a White Martian

And the incorrect statements are actually true about the source material.
Trapp has joked that he would do just that.
Um, actually, Cro-Magnons aren't distinct from modern humans in a taxonomical sense, it's an outdated term that refers to early modern humans that lived in Europe at the same time as Neanderthals. Their skulls were a little bit chunkier than ours, but we're still even the same subspecies.
Yeah, almost everything he said about Earth's children was wrong.
@@kevingooley9628 What else was wrong? I’ve only read Clan of the Cave Bear, but nothing seemed wrong to me except the thing about the Cro-Magnons.
@@hershelabraham2280 Jondalar was not a Neanderthal, he was the same as Ayla.
This 👆🏻. The Clan of the Cave Bear were Neanderthal. Ayla and Jondalar are Cro-Magnon.
Another correction on the JoJo question is that not every Stand is related to fighting spirit: for example, Tonio’s Pearl Jam manifested from his passion for cooking.
And spice girls was due to her user's love for helping people.
I always thought that it was in general, a manifestation of one's soul
Each Part has at least one Stand that's formed by mastery of a particular, usually mystical, skill. For example, Hermit Purple is formed from the Ripple, Pillar Man Modes are the result of accupuncture, Atum and Osiris are based on gambling, Pearl Jam is from a combination of cooking, herbalism, and palmistry, Cinderella is based on hairdressing, Rolling Stone is based on sculpture, Dragon's Dream is based on Feng Shui Kung-Fu, Ball Breaker is based on the Super Spin, and Paper King Moon is based on Origami.
I feel like that's semantics. It still seems like a form of Fighting Spirit
yeah theres alot of stuff wrong with the jojo one. for instance death thirteen itself isnt trapping you in a dream world, your own sleep is the thing keeping you in there, and cream doesnt create voids, he is one

Um Actually, heroes of Olympus isn’t a trilogy, it has five books. And also the Egyptian thing is inaccurate too I think. They occur in the same universe but I don’t think they actually show up in the heroes of Olympus series
They do interact, but not in that particular series. There was in fact a crossover trilogy where carter and sadie team up with annabeth and percy to stop setne. The host thing is accurate, sort of an avatar thing like the good kite monster and wan
I saw that question and I was like "Um actually, everything you said was wrong Trapp".
@@TheBigE9999 Some Egyptian gods in the kane chronicles don't need a host. Also, the host doesn't necessarily need to be a person either.
In mark of Athena it has a short story at the end where they meet
There's also the Magnus Chase trilogy, which exists in the same universe and actually features characters from the Percy Jackson series.
Pretty bummed that Perry the Platypus (a semi-aquatic egg laying mammal of action) was not included in the pet sounds...
"Oops, me make big mistake, and you catch." Honestly, the "send us your corrections" clips are sometimes some of the funniest parts of the episodes. My favorite is the enthusiastic "Well, we fucked up."

You sir, are an agent of chaos haha
Got in the comments
And gutz
Uhm actually Jondalar, Ayla's boyfriend, was Cromagnon (early homo sapiens) too (valley of horses). Also, she didn't invent the digitalis based medicine, she learned it from the Neanderthals who raised her- it was used in their spiritual rituals and she was exposed to it during her training to be a medicine woman (clan of the cave bear).
And Jondalar invented the atlatl in the books after watching her hunt with her sling. The needle was a group effort between her, Jondalar and at least one other person. Even the travios wasn't all her. The clan men had been using a similar device, she just figured out how to attach it to a horse.
This is really giving her far more credit than the book implies. So really there's a lot wrong with this question.
Doesn't even mention her discovery of using flint and stone to make fire!
@@ladykoiwolfe to be fair though, she's still freakily talented with invention and modification. She doesn't get as much credit as the question implies, but she still gets way more credit than any one person at the time should.
Also, Cro Magnon ARE just early modern humans. They're homo sapiens.
Thank you, that bugged me so much lol
The "Betrayal of the House on the HIll" situation is EXACTLY why I love Trapp so much. Just lets it play out then gives her the point. He is such a wonderful dude it seems and he is perfect for this show and everything he does on Dropout.
Umm actually in SAO Kirito is not trapped in the other games he is only trapped in Aincrad. He enters Alfheim online to rescue Asuna, and enters gun gale online to solve the murders that are happening in game and IRL but he can and does leave those games several times.
Well technically since the question mentions 3 seasons Kirito was also trapped in the Underworld, even though the circumstances were rather different in that case to Aincrad.
@@RonnocFroop forgot about underworld haha thank you
The audio mix for this episode is -really- ALL OVER THE PLACE. I've been binging loads today, and this one has me turning up the volume to hear them speaking, and then it deafens me with the music for the next round.
That was driving me crazy, too
Trapp’s pronunciation of Riordan caused me physical pain and I will be suing.
Also, they acknowledge that the Greek and Roman gods are different aspects of the same god. In Mark of Athena, Athena/Minerva is literally having a mental breakdown because of the multiple personalities.
Finally, I’m really happy there being a percy Jackson question
Um Actually, Ser Ilyn Payne doesn't get sent to the Wall. His actor was battling cancer so he sort of just stopped appearing. It can be assumed he was in King's Landing during the final season, and while his death is never confirmed, the odds don't look that good for him.
To be honest, I can't even remember him from the series. Probably because even his role as a fighting partner for Jaime was taken over by Bronn.
Also Um Actually, Arya also kills Waif, the girl from the Faceless Men. She also kills the Night King who technically was human
@@stevenfriedman2902 but those aren't on her list, which was what the statement was about
@@stevenfriedman2902 Um Actualy if you wanna count people not on his list, she kills Walders entire family and feeds them to him
To break the tie, they should've had a stare-out contest with the hypnotoad sound playing the whole time.
Um actually Hypnotoad isnt a pet, he is the protagonist of the hit TV show 'Everybody Loves Hypnotoad'.
Since he uses his hypnopower to his advantage in several scenes; he seems to be sapient.
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.
Um actually Hypnotoad's first appearance is in "The Day The Earth Stood Stupid" when they win the pet show. Granted, Zoidberg and Nibbler are also entered in that pet show, and they're both sapient creatures. But it would be fair to call Hypnotoad a pet given that context.
Um actually, in the heroes of olympus we do not see any egyptian gods or anything like them. The egyptian gods appear in another of Riordans series which shares a universe with the heroes of olympos. The most we get of any gods that are not related to the mythology of that specific series (Greek gods for heroes of olympos, norde gods for magnus chace etc) are these minor references. Of course Riordan has slowly began to remove the borders between the different mythologies in his books, as can be seen in the Trials Of Apollo series in which we, for example, meet a demigod of a (I think) mayan god.
Actually there was a crossover trilogy where they fought setne. Also there were pretty blatant references to percy jackson and magnus chase. Annabeth is even magnu' cousin
@@TheBigE9999 First of all, I get the references. Secondly, HOW have I never heard of that trilogy. I had to go check if you were lying, but no, it's real, and I didn't know it existed. Also my correction still stands on the fact that heroes of olympos has none of the egyptians in it.
Um actually, there is a short story in which Percy works together with Carter Kane. the other short story is a crossover with Annabeth and Sadie working together. so not minor referances really
@@MilloSpiegel I understand my using of "minor" was understating it.
@@joonapukarinen1153 perhaps
Um Actually, those little cubes really ARE used as prominent pieces in a several board games beyond just Pandemic. It's a Wonderful World and Terraforming Mars both use those exact cubes in multiple colors!
Exactly! I saw that and immediately my first thought was Terraforming Mars, not pandemic.
Um actually heros of Olympus has 5 books, the greek series also has 5 books, the Kane Chronicles (Egyptian) is indeed a trilogy, and the Norse gods also get a trilogy. In the first series, you, the reader do not find out about any sets of gods other than the Greek gods, and neither do any of the protagonists but it is later revealed that the things the Roman gods and their children were doing actually had some impact on the Percy Jackson books
Edited: accidentally called Percy Jackson the Roman series not the Greek series
Um Actually, Jondalar is also Cro Magnon. Ayla was raised among the neanderthals, and Jondalar was the first "other" she met.
Um, actually, "Snuffles" prefers the name "Snowball" due to their white fur.
mainly he doesn't like ''Snuffles'' as that was ''his slave name''
I would argue in the first Shiny Question, Jess was right- Betrayal at House on the Hill is essentially "Juiced-up Clue"
The game's about being pedantic, so... no.
Kind of lmfao
The only similarity is that it takes place in a house. In clue you're looking for clues to solve a murder, while in BAHOTH you're exploring a haunted mansion with paranormal goings-on for a number of reasons and have to survive the betrayal of one of your companions. They really could not be less alike, with the exception of the house.
They need to add more Elder Scrolls questions. It is an incredibly popular game series with a metric fuckton of lore to pull from
Agreed!!
Oh please! Throw in some Morrowind lore for the elder millennials in the crowd!
Put me in an elder scrolls focused episode and I’ll be the man to beat Brennan 😤
Make it super obscure kirkbride lore lmao
Can you do compilations of your specific shiny questions? Like the Hear me Roar ones are super fun and having like a 10 minute long compilation would be extremely fun to do with a group of people. Even if the compilation would only be on Dropout that would just be more incentive to get Dropout lol
I’m, Actually Gold Experience’s ability works with organic material too not just inorganic. As shown by Giorno turning his teeth into a jellyfish or when he transformed his blood into a swarm of ants.
All these Jojo comments are fucking wild lol
Um, actually, while the Scrolls themselves rarely make physical appearances within the games, each installment (with the exception of Redguard) does have a different Elder Scroll play an important role. Namely, you, the player character, the Prisoner Hero who has perception transcending causality (according to the god Sotha Sil in ESO) and whose imprisonment severs them from bone-drawn destiny and as such whose existence is not recorded by the Scrolls, can be accurately if somewhat metaphorically (keeping in mind metaphors are often literal; see for instance the War of Manifest Metaphors) said to actually be the scribe of the Scroll detailing the Event the game centers around (as for example alluded to by Chancellor Ocato at the end of Oblivion's main quest). Scribing the Scroll is the entirety of gameplay, and as such it could not be playing a more important role.
But even though Redguard is the only installment without a Prisoner Hero, Cyrus the Restless is still a Hero, and as the imperial Battlemage (and part of the many-headed Talos) Zurin Arctus famously said: "Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." The Prophecy of the Event being recorded by the Scrolls of course. As such, even in Redguard the influence of an Elder Scroll is keenly felt.
Or, if we go into even weirder territory, it's a valid interpretation of the lore to say that the game disc is itself an Elder Scroll, and the player is merely reading it, which in turn would qualify as a different Scroll playing a critically important part of each installment.
And then if we get even weirder, Bethesda Softworks has claimed that they have three Elder Scrolls in their basement that they read and interpret to learn about Tamriel and its Events. This was essentially a way of justifying the various inconsistencies between the games; transcription errors are inevitable when consulting the Scrolls, especially in the conversion from divine to mortal text, and as such the world the games depict is necessarily a flawed interpretation of the underlying reality. Under this hyperdiegetic interpretation, these three Scrolls also serve to play a critical role in every installment. Alas, not a different Scroll for each game in this case, but it still serves to show that the intended correction was not in fact correct at all.
TL;DR: as phrased, the Elder Scrolls statement is in fact completely without error for reasons probably more bullshit and pedantic than anything else seen on Um, Actually to date. Though, yes, it is true that the first on-screen appearance of an Elder Scroll wasn't until The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and that is pretty buck-wild and exactly the kind of trivia it's ideal to base a round of this game around.
Also, um, actually, The Elder Scrolls Legends: Battlespire is not primarily set on Tamriel, but on a space station in a slipstream dimension. It's not just not set on Tamriel, nor even the plane(t) Nirn, but in a whole other multiverse.
I think you won the game forever
Got'dayum.
Was coming to type something similar 😂
you kind of forget how much the elder scrolls have lore-wise but every time I see someone talking about it, it will almost always be 10 paragraphs long about how a country was born and the events they took part in or another subject.
@@Stafarns I've never seen a franchise with more lore (and, especially, dank lore) that didn't have the equivalent of an entire publishing imprint churning out novels for decades. Well, Nasu (Fate/Stay Night etc) comes close, but I'm not as familiar with it and it relies more on real life lore to convey its lore efficiently. TES is something special.
Since I don’t know anything about Earth’s Children, I was going to say, “Um actually, Ayla is the cave woman from Chrono Trigger.”
Um, actually, Jondalar is NOT a Neanderthal. He is homosapien, same as Ayla, which were also called Cro-Magnon. Ayla's foster family and most of the other characters in the first book are Neanderthal, or as they are called in he books, Clan.
Thank you, was coming to the chats to see if someone got in before I had to "Um, Actually."
Yes, thank you. “Earth’s Children” might not stand up to modern genetics, but it’s a major plot point starting in VotH that Jondalar is repulsed by Neanderthals.
Also, they credit Ayla with cookies - which Ranec makes for a feast - and the atlatl - which Jondalar invented inspired by Ayla’s sling.
But they overlook her domesticating the cave lion 🙄
Yes, Ayla is the og Mary Sue
@@AuntieDawnsKitchen she didn't invent the digitalis based medicine either. She learned it from the Neanderthals during her training to be a medicine woman.

I remember reading Clan and Valley as a teenager, fascinated by the supplemental materials (like various Venus statues lol). Now, I can rekindle my interest in Earth's Children. Thanks, Um, Actually!
Um actually, Cro-Magnon is an outdated term that refers to early modern Homo Sapiens, so it’s incorrect to say that Ayla isn’t a modern human. Also, Jondalar was also an early modern human, not a Neanderthal. Ayla in fact does not live with Neanderthals at all after the first book.
Um, actually, the so-called “unnamed cabbage merchant” mentioned in the answer to the Legend of Korra question does have a name. He is named Lau Gan-Lan.
Um Actually Notorious BIG (pronounced "big", not spelled out) only activates _when_ the user dies. How the user figured out he has a death-activated stand is one of those mysteries that the author Hirohito Araki hasn't answered.

I think the board games shiny question would work better if you gave everyone a box with pieces from 6 games and see who can identify the most pieces
Yeah this one had the strong vibe of "we JUST thought of this game and have not figured out exactly how it should play yet" haha. You can't randomly pick from hidden objects when they all have different shapes! What if someone picks the same un-guessed objects multiple times! Gotta workshop that a bit more :)
Malika- "She's (Katara) the best character, fight me on this"

19:50 Um actually, Cro-Magnon is a now outdated term and anthropologists no longer consider them separate from modern humans. Also Jondalar is not a neanderthal, he's a modern human too.
Came to the comments to find this exact correction 🙂
Indeed
This is correct. Ayla was raised by neanderthals, but her boyfriend who she found when she left the cave in Clan of the Cave Bear is the same kind of human as she is, which in the books, I believe, has been stated to be Cro-Magnan, whether it is an outdated term or not.
@@RoderickEtheria That's true, I think the book does use Cro-Magnon. It wasn't considered outdated when (most of) the books were written, it's only been in the last couple of decades that the term has dropped out of use as scientists concluded that the differences between what were known as Cro-Magnon and humans today were basically cultural rather than biological.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s Cro-magnons were considered to be early modern humans. But they were modern humans.
Um Actually, when revealing the answers to "What's in the Box?" Trapp says that the tile is from "Betrayal at the House on the Hill." In actuality the name of the game is "Betrayal at House on the Hill" with only one 'the.'
I’m actually Kirito is only trapped in SAO he can come and go as he pleases from Alfheilm and Gun Gale (though he gets trapped a second time in Alicization but that’s not technically a game). 🐬
Came here to say that
My mom read Clan of the Cave Bear to me when i was maybe 10, and i loved it. I reread it a decade later, and WOW there was so much my mom censored.

Great episode! The transition sound effect seems a lot louder than the rest of the audio though.
Um... actually, Battlespire do not take place on Tamriel, it takes place on Battlespire and in various realms of Oblivion. Depending on how we define "continent", Morrowind and Redguard may also not take place on Tamriel, since they both take place on islands - Vvardenfell and Stros M'Kai.
Well, Morrowind at least had an expansion set in Mournhold, on the Mainland - so the game, even if you don't count islands, takes place at least partially in Tamriel!
They are part of Tamriel much like how Sardinia or Corsica are part of the European continent or Sri Lanka is part of the Indian sub-continent.
Vvardenfell and Stros M'Kai, while not part of Mainland Tamriel, are still considered part of the continent. Pretty sure that the Summerset Isles are part of Tamriel, too, despite being an archipelago that is fairly far removed from the mainland.
However, the statement read is that "the games take place primarily on the continent of Tamriel", which does leave room for the visits to the Oblivion, Sovngarde and Summerset Isles. Since you do not, to my recollection, ever leave Tamriel in the first two games, and the visits to other realities and places in the later games (with Redguard being a notable exception) are optional (though necessary to complete the main quest) ... I'd say they're still correct on that point. I would still count both Vvardenfell (an island a fit person can swim to from the mainland) and Stros M'Kai as part of Tamriel, since they're on the same continental plate ... but I digress.
1. All Glory to the Hypnotoad. 2. my oven legit makes that noise whilst pre-heating. 3. All Glory to the Hypnotoad!
Um actually, the Heroes of Olympus series does not have the Egyptian gods directly mentioned in them. Rick Riordan has a separate series called the “Kane Chronicles” that is about the Egyptian gods which only briefly mentions the Roman ones even existing. He also has the Magnus Chase series for Norse gods
You know this is the first um actually episode where I could've actually won if given the opportunity so this is my favorite episode 😂😂
"Ayla, a blonde, primitive woman..."
Me: Ooh, a Chrono Trigger question
Um actually, the source material for Sword Art Online is not a manga, it's a light novel. Furthermore, Kirito is not trapped in the latter half of season 1 or season 2. The Alfheim online arc is the second half of season 1, in which he finds out his wife, who never woke up after being supposedly freed from SAO, remained trapped with her consciousness transferred into the game Alfheim Online. In the GGO arc of season 2, he investigates a player who is supposedly able to kill real players from inside the game despite the advancements in NerveGear tech that should make this impossible. In season 3, he does end up trapped, but it is not his own decision, and it is not within a game. After an attempt on his life, he suffers brain damage, and his consciousness is temporarily transferred to a virtual world to allow his brain to recover.
Um, actually, exactly what you said.
Um actually hypnotoad is nobody's pet. If anything, there's something to be said about everyone who watches that show becomes hypnotoad's pet.
Um actually, in The Day the Earth Stood Stupid, the hypnotoad wins first place in the pet show, making him technically qualify as a pet, at least to his own identity ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD
@@IkeofCrimea this
i love all my fellow riordan fans correcting that question its weird to see something so major slip through or see it worded so poorly
Um, Actually... Sorry this is coming up so late, but here goes: Ayla is not part-neanderthal, she is fully a CroMag (yeah, I know it's Cro-Magnon, but I couldn't resist the Sliders reference.) Her original family was killed in an earthquake, and she was raised by a Neanderthal tribe whose shaman came across her after she was attacked by a cave lion. She did have a CroMag-Neanderthal hybrid son, Durc, by a Neanderthal named Broud, after which she was banished from the tribe. Furthermore, Jondalar was a CroMag like Ayla, and they got into a relationship after she healed his wounds from (coincidentally) a cave lion attack.
Um actually, technically she wasn't banished from the tribe. She was pronounced dead which meant they didn't acknowledge her existence. Technically they didn't prevent her from staying she just chose to run away.
Mike: "Those cubes are from Pandemic."
Me: "Oh, right, that used to just be the name of a board game..."
Is fun game
Do you think the coronavirus pandemic is partly named for the board game, or do you understand that it was never "just the name of a board game"
@@trikers471 ...I understand the word "pandemic" is an actual word, and was making a joke about cognitive associations before and after the COVID pandemic...
I second Jess. Whenever I see lavender when walking around, I instinctively think about picking it up for potions
um actually, the board game is called betrayal AT house on the hill- people tend to put an extra “the” in there but that’s the full title
Um actually, all glory to the hyponotoad
I appreciate how much Trapp was amused by the sound. One of my personal favorite bits they use
Um Actually, there were two endings of The Descent. One in which she escaped and lived for the sequel. The other, she thinks she escaped, but it is revealed to be her imagination and she is stuck in the cave, and presumably is killed
Yeah, I think Jess missed the entire point of the question - They specifically said the "UK ending" to differentiate it from the US ending, so Jess wasn't actually correcting anything in the statement when she said there were two separate endings.
The point of the question was that they were describing the ending of "The Cave" while claiming it was the UK ending of "The Descent". The correction would actually be that the UK ending features the protagonist imagining escaping, then it cutting to her back in the cave and hallucinating her dead daughter sitting across from her with a birthday cake between them, while the sounds of crawlers gradually getting closer is heard in the background.
Um actually, Kirito is only stuck in SAO in the first half of the first season. He goes to alfheim online to save asuna from being trapped by a guy her parents arranged her to marry while in the coma. The second season has gun gale online for the first half and thenthe world seed games i believe (could be wrong there) where they go on weird quests like finding excalibur. The third season is where kirito is in a coma on a military ship in an AI simulation to create AI that can think freely and some guys take over and want to control it.
Asuna's parents arranged her marriage while she was in a COMA??
Something tells me we're never going to see Mystery Box again
8:00 there’s so much wrong here
um actually, heroes of olympus is the third series published and it’s made up of five books so it’s not a trilogy. each book does not reveal a new demigod, we meet all the main characters in the first two books of the series, and no children of zeus, poseidon or hades are revealed in this series since we’ve already met them in the previous one. also heroes of olympus only focuses on greek/roman mythology while the kane chronicles is the one that focuses of egyptian mythology.
i think they wanted to say the *riordanverse* instead of heroes of olympus but that would also be wrong since it’s made up of five series not three (pj and the olympians, kane chronicles, heroes of olympus, magnus chase and the gods of asgard and trials of apollo) and also includes norse mythology
that Heroes of Olympus question nearly gave me an aneurysm…..it wouldn’t have bothered me half as much if *all* of the inaccuracies had at least been acknowledged, goodness gracious
Um, actually: Ilyn Payne didn't get sent to the Wall. He just stops appearing in the show altogether with no explanation given in-universe as to why. In our universe, the reason the character stopped appearing was because the actor playing him, Wilko Johnson, was very ill, so they just retired the character rather than recast him. He never gets sent to the Wall in the books at all, and is actually the man that gets roped into helping Jaime Lannister relearn how to fight after his sword hand got cut off. Jaime even picked him specifically because his tongue got cut off decades ago, so he couldn't go blabbing off that Jaime couldn't fight. He also accompanies Jaime throughout his military campaigns after his hand got cut off.
That role is given to Bronn in the show instead, who has his tongue intact and is a mercenary with his loyalty for sale to the highest bidder.
Um Actually, Arya also kills Waif, the girl from the Faceless Men. She also kills the Night King who technically was human
@@stevenfriedman2902 What does that have to do with what I said?
@@DanielGalimidi It adds onto why the show's statement was wrong but nobody said anything about the fact Arya killed more than just 4 people
But those two were never on her kill list, which was the premise of the question!
Um actually, Dr. Horrible doesn't have a last name in the comic. Billy is the only name he has. "Billy Buddy" is Penny's pet name for him in Dr. Horrible Sing Along Blog
Um Actually, nearly everything in the Rick Riordan statement was wrong. There’s five books in the Heroes of Olympus series, the Roman Gods weren’t introduced until the companion continuation of the Last Heroes series, and the Egyptian Gods were only ever part of an entirely separate series (though still in the Riordanverse), the Red Pyramid series. It would’ve been more accurate to have brought in the Norse Gods since that’s more closely related as the titular character, Magnus Chase, is Annabeth’s cousin
This episode is the most agregious, both on the part of the question writers and the guests
Um, Actually the word is egregious not agregious.
Um Actually, there are six statues in TLOK. There is a statue of Avatar Korra in Avatar Korra Park, or Republic City Park where Korra first arrives in Republic City and illegally fishes.
I feel like the phrase "I'll give you the point" / "I'll give it to you" was said more frequently in this episode than the norm, due to a lot of "close enough" answers without actually pinpointing the detail that needed to be corrected. But hey, at least it looks like everyone had fun in the end.
Nah. There's a reason getting close enough to the thing to get the point is called "pulling an Ify". Nobody is as good at making shots in the dark as my boi.
Um actually you said that Poseidon is always a Greek god but in the trials of Apollo, it is mentioned that Poseidon was transformed into a human by Zeus as punishment
Um Actually J'onn J'onnz is equal in strength to kryptonians, and his wider array of powers actually makes him stronger than both Kara and her Smallville boy scout cousin - who once dubbed J'onn the most powerful being on the face of the earth. Even in Injustice it took Supes and Wonder Woman to just barely beat him, put respect on Martian Manhunter's name.
Um Actually, the installments don't all feature just the one scroll, Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC involves 3 scrolls; Blood, Sun and Dragon, before the DLC the scroll wasn't referred to as the Dragon scroll. In addition, the Dragon Scroll is not a prophecy the game revolves around, you need it to witness Alduin's banishment through time and learn the shout Dragonrend, the prophecy Skyrim revolves around is the prophecy of the Dragonborn, depicted on Aldiuin's Wall, and an unrevealed Elder Scroll which states that Alduin shall one day eat the world - which the Dragonborn delays when successful
Um Actually, there is also a statue of Korra after the events of Book 3, the park named after her also.
Um Actually Trapp since Beric died 8 times he's 'more dead than anyone else'
Um Actually, Hypnotoad is not a pet since it has no owner
Um Actually Hitmonlee doesn't have a mouth either, and Charizard, Onix, Victreebel, Caterpie, Mewtwo, Gyarados, Dragonite, and others also didn't speak their name
Um, actually, while J'onn is incredibly powerful, he doesn't have quite as much raw physical strength as a kryptonian (who can hold black holes in their hands, shatter reality with a punch, and _lift freaking infinity!)._ The _reasons_ that Superman considers him the most powerful being on the planet are twofold: that wider array of powers you mentioned, which includes several abilities that Superman can't easily defend against, and the fact that Superman chronically underestimates his own abilities due to all of the mental blocks he has. Even when he _says_ he's going all-out, he's subconsciously holding back.
Also, the question was about the CW series, and he's explicitly stated to be weaker than Kara in the show.
@@RabblesTheBinx Um actually, Superman never lifts infinity, it’s a misconception that the book of infinite pages has infinite weight (which is also not infinite since it was read to the end), but even Shazam lifted it for a time
The black hole was also miniature, and he struggled to hold it, and the shattering reality was thanks to superboy being in a prison dimension connected to walls of other dimensions, and several hits. I’m sure many heroes if they had something tangible to hit would be able to do the same
But to digress, Clark’s strength has always been inconsistent, at times he’s like this but then he’ll struggle with J’onn and Diana to pull the earth with the Lasso of Truth
Go OFF king
TBF, Kryptonian strength levels have changed way too much to have a real proper measure of it. I think only All-Star Superman explicitly states Kal-el's one-rep-max, and the ridiculous figure quoted (something in the septillions of tons) is only thanks to the lethal dose of yellow solar radiation he received at the start of the series overcharging his powers.
Charizard and Onix both do speak their name. They just speak their Japanese ones, Lizardon and Iwark.
Um actually, there is no questing associated with elder scrolls in online they are specifically pvp content which give your alliance buff when you own them
I truly love the contestants on this show! Trapp does an amazing job keeping things fun and light while moving along too
Um Actually the correction about Dr Horrible's name is incorrect. Billy's last name is never mentioned, he was just referred to as Billy buddy as in a friend. "So keep your head up Billy buddy"
THANK YOU i was about to point that one out
Ilyn Payne is the royal executioner (took Ned's head) and was likely in the Red Keep when it blew up, but has no on screen death. His role in the show was reduced because he was getting cancer treatment. In the books, he's currently still alive. He was never sent to The Wall, as the cast is discussing here. Also he has no tongue, so he couldn't be talking.
You didn't say "Um, actually."
Um, actually, all that stuff Nick Wilson said.
14:00
no, Buddy isn't his last name. That was just Penny's nickname for him.
It's true that his name isn't actually Horrible, but it's not Buddy either
No, “chin up Billy buddy, there’s no room for mercy,” is a lyric that he sings to himself right before he’s about to kill Captain Hammer. It’s not a nickname from Penny.
@@General_Nothing
he sings that BECAUSE Penny calls him that earlier in the show
@@McBehrer Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. "Billy Buddy" is a cute name penny called him cause they're friends and he used it again later to remind him why he's doing this. His name is Billy, that's all we know.
Um, actually, Cro-Magnon were the same species and genetically the same as "modern man." I guess you could say they aren't "modern man" because they lived thousands of years ago, but they're as much "modern man" as ancient Egyptians or ancient Romans (except chronologically even less modern).
Katarra doesn't have a statue because she's alive. All of the other characters are dead (or in Toph's case THOUGHT to be dead) at the start of the series.
I'm going to be the first person who doesn't say um actually and just genuinely appreciates the show
This is my favorite episode
“MY CABBAGES!”
The progression of SAO stories is incredible. The stakes get progressively lower and lower as the series goes on.
From what I remember (spoilers if anyone cares):
The first game is SAO, in which everyone is trapped and if you die in the game you die IRL, pretty high stakes there.
In the second game only Asuna (Kirito's gamer gurl (oh god why did I make that joke?)) is in any danger since she's been trapped there by creepy-mc-lick-face (makes sense if you've seen... *that* scene...). Decent stakes if you care about Asuna (but you don't).
In the third one there *appears* to be one guy in the game who owns a gun that can shoot people and they die IRL, but it's discovered that actually what happened is they'd plan who he shoots in-game, and some really over-complicated mechanism for assassinating those people at the same time was set-up in the real world. I have no idea what the idea for this was, maybe they were trying to get the game shut down IDFK it's SAO. Very low stakes if any.
In the fourth one they play a game. That's it. It's really over-dramatic.
Honestly kind of a cool way to structure a series
@@junpeil33t
It'd have to be done a different way though.
Maybe have the first couple episodes be the main character managing to fluke saving the world, but then they're pushed into more dangerous situations (but with lower stakes than "the world") where they struggle because, again, their world-saving "achievement" was a fluke, but now everyone expects great things of them.
I love that there's finally an episode i knew most of the answers, and even recognized somethings that are wrong in the questions.
These episodes have a lot of variety!
Um, actually, Jondalar is not Neanderthal, he is the same species as Ayla (but from a different tribe)! Ayla was raised by Neanderthals though.
Was the sound wonky for others? All the show sounds/musical bumps were loud, but the guests were very quiet.
Also, Trapp's getting pretty lax with allowing "The Descent" alternate ending as an answer for "The Cave".
I only know the Almiraj because the druid in my party has one as a familiar. Thanks Micha!
Um Actually, every correction the contests made for the Percy Jackson question was right, and everything Trapp said was wrong...
I surprised myself by how randomly excited I got seeing this pop up😅 Love the show!❤
Um Actually, the reason there is no statue of Katara is that she is still alive for the events of LoK.
Never have I been more riled up than that board game shiny question where I knew every single one of these pedantic items
How about a period, as in punctuation, at the end of your sentence? Rile yourself up for some basic English, hun.
@@clvrswine what
"Please don't eat it, actually go ahead and put it back in the box," he said with concern.
Damn this was my episode. I’ve had arguments over like half of these things and am a massive board game nerd
um, actually, it's a year late, but it's an estimated 50,000 trapped in the game in the anime, whereas the 10,000 number is from the manga
One of the only episodes I know so much of the topics, and I have so many peda tic corrections about wording and the information they have on a lot of questions 😂

Um Actually, Kirito only spends half the first season trapped in Aincrad. He spends the second half of the first season tracking down his wife in Alfiem Online, spends the first half of the second season, hunting a killer in Gun Gale Online, spends the second half of the season doing quests with his friends in Alfiem Online, and the third season, he does beta testing for a new game, where you start as a child, and grow up in the world, with time moving faster than in the real world, unlike the others were realtime.
umm actually Cro-Magnon were actually modern humans, so Malika was entirely correct
