H.G. Wells The War Of The Worlds is a story by British author Herbert George Wells in which alien visitors from Mars arrive in space capsules first in Horsell Common near Woking in Surrey. This is at first thought to be a meteorite by the English men that discover this cylinder with the astronomer Ogilvy exclaiming that the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one. However, as the Narrator explains, Martian creatures soon make themselves present before using a Heat Ray to disintegrate some of the English people. They soon begin using massive Tripod Fighting Machines and using weapons such as the heat-ray as well as the black smoke begin to lay waste to the British army, leaving people such as the Artilleryman and the protagonist separated from everyone including his wife, and with the defeat of the ironclad torpedo ram HMS Thunder Child the Royal Navy as well succeeding in defeating the biggest Empire in human history, The British Empire at the height of it's power in the Victorian age in which H G Wells wrote the novel. The Martians very quickly establish a dominion over man as they spread their Red Weed across the Earth reaching the capital city of Britain London the Fighting-Machines cause great devastation. Other methods of transport the martian invaders use include the Handling-Machines as well as the Flying-Machines.
On paper there have been many illustrated editions of the story, the first of which were done by Warwick Goble in the original serial version. Relatively soon after, Alvim Correa drew his illustrations. Henrique Alvim Corrêa was a Brazilian artist who traveled to London in 1902 to present H. G. Wells with drawings that he'd done for the story of The War Of The Worlds and there have since been many been many illustration versions by artists such has Edward Gorey and Lou Cameron. There have also been audio adaptations of HG Wells War Of The Worlds, including the infamous 1938 Orson Welles War of the Worlds radio broadcast and the iconic 1978 album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds. There were likewise many attempts to bring the story to the big screen as well, including by icons such as Alfred Hitchcock and Ray Harryhausen, but it wasn't until The War Of The Worlds 1953 film by George Pal that this was finally accomplished. Later on, there's been Steven Spielberg's 2005 War Of The Worlds starring Tom Cruise and The Great Martian War 1913-1917 documentary style drama set in World War 1. Recently, the BBC made a TV miniseries the BBC British TV series war of the worlds and FOX, Epic and StudioCanal did a TV series starting in 2019 called War Of The Worlds that claims to be adapted from the source material. There has also been several war of the worlds movies recently as well, including 2021 War Of The Worlds, also known as Alien Conquest, which had a sequel called War Of The Worlds Annihilation and this year in 2023 War Of The Worlds The Attack. There have also been many indie games and art with a survival horror war of the worlds 2005 game which will be a multiplayer survival game based on the Tom Cruise War Of The Worlds movie as well and there's another announced in 2023 called The War of the Worlds: Siberia. There's also The War Of The Worlds 1913 game which is a worthwhile, fun and nicely stylised adaption of H G Wells The War Of The Worlds.

A very distinct design, the TV-heads are certainly a unique depiction of the Fighting-machines! :) I'm glad I finally got around to doing a video about them.
I was not expecting to get mentioned, now I finally know what to call these tripods Cameron tripods!
I'm starting to think oddworld is over because we've not gotten any information on the next oddworld game in years.
I suggest checking out the designs of the tripods from the history channel mocumentury the great Martian war.
Will you do star wars
I hope you do the tripods from the War of the Worlds Goliath.
I love these fighting machines because they are so chill but destructive at the same time
looks like its gonna say "radical skiing dude" then take off down a snowy slope
These tripods always looked like they had scuba diving goggles on, but thats just me
Not just you, I, too, always perceived them as scuba masks. It's the "notch" allowing for the mount of the heat ray that gives that effect, similar to the notch in the aquatic visor allowing for the nose.
Looking at them, yeah I can agree they definitely look like they have scuba goggles. They’re almost fit for aquatic combat
@@Beepers559 untersea warfare
They look like something that can come out of command conquer.
They ARE goggles.
Yay, Three legged robots wearing scuba gear!

I love the design's of these tv headed goobers. Specifically the visor on their head it reminded me of Gigan.
It reminds me of the scout trooper, from Star Wars, it looks way more like the scout trooper then gigan from Godzilla :]
Reminds me of the scuba diver from finding nemo
Godzilla vs war of the worlds.
my favorite tripod of all versions of WotW. .i finally found a copy of the classic comic at a flea market twenty-some years ago. .i bought in a flash; don't remember what i paid but it was worth it!
Very nice video! You should cover the Dark Horse tripods from their 2005 graphic novel!
Am I the only one who’s getting bug eyed vibes from these tripods like the Jeff Wayne tripods?
I like that you brought up the Daleks in this, there's actually a lot of similarities between them and the martians
i would love to see more videos about these more obscure illustrations of the tripods
Yes! Can't wait for the Hardy tripods, king! Great work X3
I have this comic book and it is one of my favorite comic books and tripod designs but the fact that you called it tv head and i called it camera head
And Fun fact: i made my own war of the worlds comic with these tripod's but i made some changes to the model of the tripod and i planning to make a animation movie in 2029
I also would vote for looking at the Ian Edginton and D'Israeli adaptation of WotW for your Tripod analysis - if you can't find the original release by Dark Horse comics, you might have better luck with it's reprint in the "Scarlet Traces Volume One" graphic novel, published by 2000AD and Rebellion (2017; ISBN 978-1-78108-502-8).
Additionally, for obscure Tripod (and Martian) designs, I would suggest tracking down a copy of "The War of the Worlds" Sourcebook for the "Action! Classics" RPG (2003, ISBN 1-890305-45-6) - it features the entire text of WotW, plus a section for how to run original RPG stories within the same period, and includes some interesting interpretations of the Tripods and Martians (as drawn by Morgan Bonthoux).
yay my request got turned into a video!
Everybody talks about this classic comic, but for me “Marvel Classic comics #14 - war of the worlds” is the first and best adaptation I ever read. The aliens were truly alien, the machines truly out of this world.
Wasn't that one turned into a series by Marvel as well?
i want more videos like that
love the thought put into how the hell the martian gets inside lol
thanks for doing my and many others request!
You are the best youtuber of The War of the Worlds, I know it is a very niche topic, but that does not mean that you are not the best
FINALLY YOU COVERED THESE BOIS
here its in the what was them at gmod war of worlds is still like that and this tripod is what i like
I love the shine on them, they just look so 50s and 70s, love it
As one man once said "this is a true classic illustrated moment"
Cute Tripods + your videos are best about war of the worlds
When I first saw the classic illustrated tripods I thought those Tripod windows were actually purple Curtains
It was by then I realised they were windows.
This a great design and this is a great video I have a good description of this design biknockolers on a tripod stand with a pipe sticking out forward
To think, this was the first tripod design I saw before I was into 'The War of the Worlds' and this is what got me into it👍
I always liked the gold and the purple and how they looked together. Fire video aswell. 🔥🔥
Signet classic (with the mist and stumps and red weed) is the tripod I grew up with. One of the best depictions also, it gave me the impression of lots of moving parts just like the book describes.
I wish a model collection company like Eaglemoss would make a monthly collection series of all the different adaptations of the Martian Fighting Tripods as foot long Replicas. As well as the Handling & Flying Machines. I would love to own a high quality Model of the Correa 1906 Tripod!
FINALLY! (And I DO have the poster) someone has recognized the VERY BEST REPRESENTATION of Wells’ Martian fighting machines EVER imagined and, at least for me, the reason I began gobbling up these classics as a young boy. ( BTW, maybe the reason I did not totally fail at life is because I learned to read early on, thanks to SELF DISCOVERED BOOKS, and from which reading flowed the additional skills of speaking and WRITING in literate, vs. ILLITERATE fashion. SO: READ MORE OR FAIL FOREVER, SEZ ME.
The 3D model has the shape of the head wrong, it is not a flattened cylinder but a compound curve. See the side elevation at 7:36 / 10:02.
All love all the various tripod designs
Wells writing that the Martians had no knowledge of the wheel contradicts several pieces of Martian tech: the cylinders they arrive in, the screw cap of the cylinders, the rotating parabolic mirror they use to scan their surroundings. It was a plot error from the beginning.
Yay!!! 50s-60s Scifi Retrofuturism Rules!!!
Trully indeed a very detailed expresive version!!!
What a Blast from the Past!!! 🚀📚🛸
Retro futuristic artwork has its own charm and allure .
I like these fighting machines, they seem so funny
I have a suggestion for The War of the Worlds analyzing after all the fighting machine stuff, the Martians themselves.
I never knew there were so many different designs.
suddenly i want a war between every single tripod iteration
Now we need the 1980 series of the tripods
You should do a video about the tripods from the show of the very same name (the tripods - 1984)
You should check out the illustrations in the "Great Illustrated Classics" version of the book! It was my introduction to science fiction as a child and I would love to hear you talk about it! There are a decent number of drawings for both the tripods and the martians.
That tripod be blinging 👁️👄👁️👌🏻
My dad still has the original comic of this. It was the first version of War of the Worlds I ever read.
I read some Classics Illustrated stories in the early 60's, - Frankenstein and Tom Sawyer in particular - but never came across this one. My definitive machine, somewhat different to Lou's appeared in Arthur Mee's 'Children's Encyclopedia', which had a great picture of one, striding through an English suburb, and seen from roughly the level of it's 'head'. The original, Wells approved drawings, some of which feature here, looked faintly ridiculous, rather like Dusty Binn (a British tv character of the 70's) with a coolie hat!
No one's quite sure what ship Wells had in mind for a 'torpedo-ram' - there's no such category of warship as that. The drawings suggest something like an armoured light cruiser. Torpedo boat destroyers were a new category of fighting ship at the time - 'all tin and spit' as Douglas Reeman called them - essentially a very fast, light ship armed with heavy Maxim guns, designed to tackle torpedo boats. That's how I've always imagined her - and, interestingly, at around the time Wells was writing his story one of our yards did build such a ship for either Sweden or Norway, and her name translted as 'Thunderchild'.
Marvel comics had their version of the War of the Worlds. It was set in a dystopian future of Earth under Martian rule and focused on the heroic exploits of Killraven, the Warrior of Worlds.
tv pod is a good name
We need a analysis of the Dark Horse Comics, Fighting Machines/Tripods
Just like the goble tripods, I actually really like these, though rather than being a weird steampunk-ish war machine, I like these for the TV/aquatic look to them. Mostly the scuba visor and its box tele-like head give me those vibes, along with the tentacles and the hydraulic legs giving a slightly aquatic feel to me (the hydraulic legs are a bit of a stretch though admittedly, the tentacles definitely feel aquatic to me though).
Heck even the martians are cephalopod-like in design
love it! keep up the good work pup.
I am getting ready to have a reading of my own audio version of the story. Am having the actor who plays the Martian to listen to the Daleks.
Sidenote; Classics Illustrated had a short lived TV anthology series which (I think) started with a 1970s adaptation of The Time Machine.
The antenna on their heads could be a communications array, that would be pretty important while conducting a military invasion on the scale of say... Invading a planet.
I kinda thought they looked like stylized microwaves at first tbh
I admit I really wanna include these tripod designs (or at least something similar) in a setting I’ve been making (while it’s not a WoTW setting) but I dunno if that would be considered taboo or not to include them. Shame too since again, I really love these things just by looking at them for the first time
Do a video about the 2005 Pendragon tripods, despite the movie being pretty bad animation wise it is arguably the closest adaptation to the original book (for better or worse considering the full thing was 3 hours) and the tripods have a very unique design that I see is often overlooked when talking about the different renditions of them.
you should make a video about the great Martian war 1913-1917
Can you do a video on the great Martian war fighting machines
Can you do a video about the different machines in the jeff Wayne war of the world like the handling machine etc.
Onr of my favourite
These tripods are just every 50s sci-fi design trope combined
Could you maybe do the Mark Rufino Tripods? They're in a recent illustrated version of the book. They're the shortest of them all and kind of look like a 3-legged spider.
If we're doing all Tripods and Martians in every adaptation can you do a video on The Asylum's War of the Worlds
You probably listened to me in the tin tin tripod video
This video came out the day i got a copy of this version of war of the worlds lmao
I thought that in the thumbnail that the tripods heads were saucers and the ray was underneath.
Hey there I'm a really big fan of your videos, I was wondering where'd you get the model for your Slig character, how'd you make their eyes purple and how did you animate them?
the word your looking for interms of the metal color would be a silverish bronzes.
Make a vid about the Pendragon Pictures Tripods And Machines
They kind look like the scout/bike troopers from endor
can you do one about the martians from the war of the worlds graphic novel, there are 2 graphic novels of them that i know of. the one by david worth miller, and the one from dark horse. any one of them would do fine i would like to see your opinion on the tripods and the martians in them. also the dark horse comic version of the war of the worlds show them being built, as i noticed you said that you haven't seen any other adaptation show the tripods being built.
Will you cover the GReat Martian War , tripods they have my favorite desighns
Could you do a video on fan-made tripod designs? I'd really like you to look at the one I designed.
Please do the 1934 tripod on CZcams :)
could you review the 2 jeff Wayne wotw games?
will you explain one of the martian machines from the great martian war or maybe even from the true story
pupbenny theres something i always wonder about the orignal war of the worlds book....
what do the Tripods really look like? and im not talking about the corra tripods or any other tripods
what do the orignal H.G wells Tripods actually look like? bassed on how he disribes it in the book
Will you ever come back to oddworld videos?
Not the tripods but in war of the world Golaith we see the cylinders being build and loaded
do Pendragon Pictures’ the War of the Worlds 2005
3:57 well, track in our world at least do contain wheel in there mechanisms and making one without some form of wheel would be more complicated than inventing the wheel in the first place.
Tripod design explanation: Great martion war spiders, herons, and lice.
The documentary is on youtube.
Is this the first instance where the Martians enslaved humanity rather than harvested them?
i saw those in a book and in gmod
Hey i know how to make the head of that. Get a barrel then spray paint it silver and then put the cooking foil or what ever it is the plastic foil that you can see through and put it over the oppening of the bucket and paint it purple. There
Have you ever read the Superman/War of the Worlds crossover put out by DC Comics? it's an interesting read.
Oh you mean I can just change the channel so I can watch war of the worlds 2005
pupbenny will you make a discord sever
could you do a playthrought of the jeff wayne ps1 game or pc game
i actually called these "scuba mask pods"
