    As a train makes it way through the woods in England, the passengers would be going about their daily business. However, once a deer is thrown on the tracks and snags a fuel line, it becomes quickly apparent that something is out there, and its hunting them. As the passengers get picked off, they start to fortify their car but really, to no use. In todays episode, we will discuss how the lycanthropy takes hold of the human body, what it does physically and ultimately, what these werewolves are even doing out there!

    These werewolves look similar to the Lycans in Resident Evil 8 who don't exactly take on any massive metamorphosis but do still have wolfish features but are more intelligent than an average werewolf. Perhaps the devs were inspired by the werewolves in howl when designing the Lycans and even the Varcolac.

      @imnotmeimabisexualpanda.1122 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      I see where you’re coming from, however, I disagree. I feel that the similarities are just coincidental. From what I’ve seen in resident evil lately, I believe they’re trying to slowly integrate more supernatural forces and anomalies. The fact vampires and werewolves are the antagonist, is an example of this. They did explained it was caused by a disease, however, it still helps people open up to a more supernatural resident evil game. Not to mention, nobody can explain the mold. Some aspects are explainable, but most aren’t. It just appeared one day. It gives supernatural powers, and responds to rituals. Not to mention, this isn’t the first time they tried to make a supernatural RE. RE 4 was originally a game purely about the supernatural. Also, whether you know it or not, SCP level anomalies already exists in RE. RE 4 also introduced the las plagues. It’s literally almost/is alien. Think about it. If it was an SCP entry, it would fit perfectly. It’s an ancient creature of unknown origins that can survive for hundreds, to thousands of years trapped in stone that incorporates you into a hive mind by severing your brain stem and attaching to the it while creating hormones that induce psychosis before attachment is complete. After, it eats your brain and bursts from your skull. It can also cause mutations.

    You know, as silly as all of this really seems, I totally dig the practical effects. I think people now just rely way too much on CG VFX when there's any need for something beyond everyday reality. The fact that they used lots of prosthetics, articulating masks, and practical effects for most everything just seems more satisfying. Of course there are bound to be a couple times where the puppeteers (or just the props themselves) are a little less convincing, but I think it's a lot cooler to have those tangible, real effects than trying to pretend it's all there with CG. Maybe it's because I grew up in the 90s, but I just have a preference to practical effects in most cases.

      I mean they break down in the film it's a mixotrophic lifeform, mutated from a creature or more likely a while lineage of creatures that ate radiological waste for decades, that folds matter into itself. Very possibly, Goro Maki fed himself to the creature and was eaten carrying something that forced the creature to spontaneously mutate itself to survive. Essentially it's a lifeform that's a massive weaponized Cancer cell that has itself weaponized the radiation that created it and now sustains it.

      Also, defying scientific principals isn't necessarily an impossible feat. It just means we haven't learned what that is yet. This extends to any lifeform. It's a bit of arrogance to assume the rules of life are universal and immutable. Same with physics. Physics here works in a particular way sure, but another planet in another solar system or galaxy? The rules could theoretically be different even if it is more likely that they can't be 100% completely different.

    5:53 to answer you question Dr.Roanoke, it usually depends on how fast the train is going , for example if a passenger train is going full speed (lets say 55mph but they can reach 160mph) it will take 1 1/2 miles for to come to a full stop , but the time it take to stop is also affected by how many cars are hooked up, how fast is it going, when the brake are applied, the track incline, ect so the time that was shown in the movie would be impossible unless it was just starting to move

    I've not watched this movie, but based on the summary, I suspect they chose Joe because, not only did he display a willingness to risk himself for the rest of the group and willingness to fight, he displays a great deal of courage and emotional toughness. When someone gets hurt or killed, or when they find a body, Joe seems much more in control while everyone else is freaking out. William is willing to fight, but it's the desperate fighting of a cornered animal. He's fighting because he's scared for his own safety. Joe fights to protect others, so the werewolves saw him as a good candidate for a pack leader. Looks like he finally got that promotion after all.

    Speaking of werewolves, have you thought of covering bloodborne? My personal favorite game and I just realized it actually qualifies for a game to be covered here.

    Edit: A train would not stop that fast If going at full speed, it would take at least 50-100 meters depending on speed and slope.

No body changes (growing claws, fangs, longer hair, shapeshifting and no sudden silver allergy) just flip pheromone switch and Jim is no longer Jim, he is a hyper aggressive animal in the shape of a person.
