Just to be clear. Aquaman doesnt talk to fish. He uses mind control to command every sea creature. Also if the creature is really smart it could refuse to obey. Thats why he doesnt try to command dolphins. Also, also. He has used his powers in normal humans and it gives them an headache or makes them dizzy.

Dude the Martian was such an incredible movie, when you feel like thereâs zero hope for the protagonist, something as small as planting potatoes feels like the biggest win
The potatoes are a bit of a stretch. Yes he uses poo as fertilizer which would help but only so much. Part of the reason our soil is fertile for plant life is literally the circle of life. Plant lives. Animals eat part of plant leaving their own poo behind. Plant dies. Plant rots. Rot is eaten by other life like insects which helps break it down into more fertilizing elements. Basically huge circle that keeps life going. There the soil would have none of that. It wouldn't even be soil. It would be Martian dust with some human poo in it. There just wouldn't be enough life in the ground to have the potatoes flourish, and even if he did get them to grow they wouldn't produce much edible material. Neat for the movie but it would take a lot more terraforming to make the ground good enough to grow crops.
This movie was a book first, and so the author had all the time in the world to perfect their novel. It really shows, too, even when turned into a movie script.
The movie is great, it's one of the rare cases where it's arguably on par with the book. Highly recommend the book, it explains certain parts better, includes bits that the movie had to cut out (Watney's reaction to modifying the MAV), and is overall very enjoyable.
The fact that, as soon as they establish communications, the first thing he says is that they didnât leave him on purpose and he doesnât blame is heart-wrenching đą It would be so normal and human to blame them even knowing it was an accident. But he doesnât and wants the base to know it wasnât their fault.
@@thisguy5718huh?

@@Kaotix19 Dear, it's very clearly a joke. At the time those movies came out, there was a common internet joke about "Oh no, Matt Damon's stuck in space again."
It wouldn't be correct to call ASCII an alphabet either. An alphabet is a set of symbols, ASCII is a standard to map numbers to symbols from a pre-existent set, it's a mathematical function. My only guess as to why he chose this over 27 cards with all the letters + question mark is either to be able to clearly identify the card that they're pointing at, or that the camera rotates at fixed angles, which forces him to reduce the set of symbols to use from 27 to 17 (also, if you're using ASCII might as well discard the question mark card and use the ASCII for '?'), been a long time since I last watched the movie so I don't remember. đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€ moment ik
@@MindlessMegaLawlif heâs using only 27 numbers it might well be a much reduced table. But honestly if youâre going to be using ASCII you might as well just use the whole table because itâs going to be 2 hex bits regardless, itâs not going to change the time it takes to send and receive. You also end up with numbers and other bits and bobs, plus itâll be a significantly less painful headache when it comes time for the engineers at NASA to write a converter - or if you get lucky enough and manage to build the hardware for one yourself.
"Man managed to create an alphabet on mars :O" 1. Its fucking Hexadecimal,its not that special 2.The movie its called The Martian and its a MASTERPIECE
It was great in the movie and the book. Having said that, clever as it was, I'd have just duct taped a laser pointer to the camera and used the whole alphabet
what and add another part that could fall off/malfunction/get slightly misaligned causing them to give him a slightly garbled program that ends up shutting down pathfinder all together?
He didn't create an alphabet, he used a number system used by computers to represent numbers and letters that has been around since the 1960's. A number system based on 16, the digits 0 to 9 and letters A to F like decimal which is based on 10, the digits 0 through 9, like binary which is base 2 i.e. 0 and 1. The hexadecimal number is converted to a 8 digit binary number from 0 to 255 that represents numbers, letters and special characters that slow you to hit a key on a keyboard that gets translated into a character, since computers only understand 0 and 1, on or off, true or false. Mark Whatney used a one page table to communicate which is very slow without a computer.
Mark Watney is the greatest character I've ever read about. The Martian is definitely going to be one of the books I reread when I got to Space Academy in a month.
The book was fantastic! And like other posters, I agree with the rating of 10/10. I also agree that the movie rates an 8/10. I was impressed how much they got the movie to parallel the book as close as it did. The Martian
It does amuse me that the one thing they convince Mark not to do because it's stupid and impossible outside of a movie... Is the thing they put him doing in the movie.
Whoever runs this channel take note! He didnât âinventâ an alphabet- the alphabet doesnât change. He chose how to communicate the alphabet using an already established system. Hexadecimals. Which is already used by software developers to make binary code values easier to note down.
Create an alphabet? No, just use one that already exists. ASCII, American Standard Code for Information Interchange. I think it's even mentioned in the movie, he digs up an ASCII table in a document. Admittedly he had to know it existed, think up how to implement it, etc. Definitely a great movie.
Havenât seen this movie as the idea gives crippling anxiety but I can say itâs throwing me off to see Nate from Ted Lasso with an American accent đ
I noticed I could do this as a child, making string dissapear when it's clise to my eye and I focus on a distant object. Never looked into why,but the answer is pretty intuitive.
he didnt create an alphabet, he used hexidecimals. its a common computer encoding that he knew hed find a reference table for in his engineers things, and the people back on earth would be able to understand.
my only problem with the martian is that winds on mars cant actually do anything, air pressure isnt high enough, doesnt matter if its a hurricane or a tornado, the air pressure isnt high enough for anything more than a breeze
