Putting Brennan on Um, Actually is like putting Katie on No Laugh Newsroom. You know who's going to win, you're just along for the ride.
Katie has actually been in an episode of Breaking News where she didn’t win lol.
Um, actually, No Laugh Newsroom puts emphasis only on the loser, aka the person whose score has the highest absolute value. You don't win in that show; you simply try not to lose.
@@indigofenrir7236 And yet Katie wins anyway.
@@indigofenrir7236 yeah, fair. Katie has been on an episode of breaking news where she did not have the highest score.

feel like we're not appreciating enough Brennan saying "I look in the mirror and I cannot say, Itsa Me Mario..."
I came searching THIS comment. I know it should be somewhere
Brennan is the master of improv
Imagine that in Chris Pratt's voice.
8:30
Came here to say this!
This episode opened with the most defeated “yes… brennan..” I’ve ever heard and it sets the stage phenomenally.
You could even say Wario Ware Gold
Fun fact: Not only is Wario not related to the Mario brothers, he's also not related to Waluigi. Waluigi is just -some guy- that Wario knows who goes go-karting and tennis playing with him.
Lmaooo
Uhm actually wario tortures waluigi to make him more like Luigi to battle the brothers

They should do an episode with Brennon and even when he gets it right tell him he is wrong n just watch him lose his mind for a whole episode. Maybe around April fools or something.
Like that one Game Changer episode?
Brennan every question: "GET IN THE COMMENTS!"
@@levtokol8649 I forgot about that. He might catch on then. Nvm my idea bad.

@@WalkoffGrandslam You just need to wait long enough for it not to be obvious
The outrage in Brennan’s voice when he says “2003” is so raw and perfect
Pretty huge overreaction honestly its slightly stereotypical but hardly offensive.
@@MatthewCJoy it’s very stereotypical and solidly offensive but you do you fam
@@MatthewCJoy The stereotype is an issue, but not the main issue. It's the notion of 'turning' gay that's the issue.
@@Mira-sx2qf and why is that an issue?
@@lifotheparty6195 explain why then, pink is seen as a feminine color and thats because statistically females like it much more than males. And its pretty obvious that gay men tend to be more likely to be feminine than straight men. Also not everyone is born gay, studies have shown that there is many ways one can grow up to be gay do to various things. Sure its not nearly 100% but it still exists. Also saying someone is feminine isnt offensive because being feminine isnt bad. So if every part of it is partially based in fact and none of it is harmful how is it deeply offensive? Sure its a bit stereotypical, but again its hardly offensive. Overusing words when they dont fit is what makes people take those situations and words less seriously, its a boy who cried wolf situation. Pink krytonite turning him gay is just a joke, and a pretty lighthearted one at that, I dont know why people act like its incredibly offensive. I can only imagine that if you get offended so much by that then you must have it pretty good, that or youve been staying on the selfrightous side of twitter too long.
I love how Jackie pushes her glasses up her nose every time she says “um actually”
If I was on the show, I would do that to
The classic nerd trope. And considering this show is about nerds flexing their knowledge, it’s perfect
Brennan's statement about adults asking why only once or twice is so true it hurts. Even in work related settings, 99% of people stop after one or two questions because they don't want to feel dumb.
In most professional settings, excessive questions leads to negative outcomes.
@@williambenton9959 I wouldn't call more than a single follow up excessive though. Yeah, asking 10 questions for something simple is bad. What's also bad is not asking an extra followup or clarification and making a mistake similar to the one you just did. The amount of IT/tech support time that could be saved by people asking a few extra questions is hard to underestimate...
I usualy ask 2 times and then I say what I now think it is like " so it's like ..." and if it's wrong it's on them to explain why ;)
Today I learned that even though I'm 53, I'm not an adult.
I can, and will, ask why as many times as it takes.
@@WWFanatic0I've been scolded too many times for asking single questions
I love how Brennan did *not* understand that depth is just vertical distance
The leagues were horizontal travel around the world while underwater. It would be deeper underwater than three times the circumference of the planet.
@@SidneyBroadshead that is true, but beside the point. what does that have to do with brennan's confusion
@@sydssolanumsamsys Leagues are used for distance measurement between two points on water surfaces, while fathoms are used for depth measurement. So even though you can say 20000 leagues under the sea, you are changing the meaning of leagues to suit the sentence.
@@KdX853 ok
According to google, league is “distance by land,” so his argument is probably correct that you can’t use league to measure depth under the sea.
Watching Brennan play um, actually is oddly satisfying. It just feels like somebody is doing exactly what he should be doing and the universe is in order.
As much as it may annoy some people that he's often first to buzz in, it's kinda nice to see someone trying to actually answer the questions, rather than just buzzing in to give a joke answer they know is wrong.
Says the cynodont, the least satisfying organism.
I also get this feeling on Dimension 20 watching him DM. It feels like Brennan was born and bred from a godly lineage to DM Dungeons and Dragons.
@@zazelby you seem fun /s
@@Inressa We shall therefore induce Brennan into the DnD Meta Pantheon, next to Matt Mercer and Joe Manginello.
Unfortunately Vin Diesel will have to make room
@8:36 "I look into the mirror, and I cannot say, 'It's a-me'!" Brennan came up with that off the cuff. That man has a talent.
I like how they got a couple things wrong with the Superman question. Pink Kryptonite either makes Superman homosexual, or female depending on the writer, but golden kryptonite can permanently remove any kryptonians powers, and silver kryptonite can permanently give a regular human kryptonian powers.
"Pink Kryptonite either makes Superman homosexual or female"
What a sentence

I like the idea of The Thousand Acre Wood not being a high-octane version, but just being a bigger version, with the exact same number of residents, just spread out further, so they rarely meet and they’re all distrusting of each other. “Oh bother, Rabbit’s on my property again. Piglet, get the gun.”

26:03 Brennan mentions the word image. Yes that did appear in the book.
"The user may look into the ball, concentrate on any place or object, and cause the iwizard of the place or object to appear. A crystal ball may be used three times per day, for up to one turn per use. The more familiar the object or area, the clearer the iwizard"

On the HP question. According to my sister, who is actually into it, in the lore of Harry Potter, wizards are **so reliant on magic** that deductive reasoning is harder for them. Like ravenclaws are the "smart" house because they actually use their BRAIN rather than their WAND all the time. Which is actually really interesting
almost sounds like a metaphor for our reliance on modern day technology.
And that actually answers the question of how Lord Voldemort never thought of strangling a small child and instead decided to blast it with magic. 🤷♂️
Also as pointed out on either a talk episode with Brennan & Matt Mercer or some bits from SuperCarlinBros videos (I forget which), having a modern phone/text system instead of relying on owls and letters would have pretty much stopped Voldemort's plans pretty quickly.
@@toonman5099 Gathering followers: Many Death Eaters and supporters joined Voldemort out of fear, greed, or belief in his cause. Having access to phones and texts would not have changed this. His core group of loyal followers likely would have still joined him.
Recruiting from Slytherin: Voldemort had a natural advantage in recruiting students from Slytherin's house at Hogwarts, who tended to share his preferences for pureblood supremacy. Phones would not have changed the ideological alignment of many Slytherin students.
Creating Horcruxes: Voldemort's creation of Horcruxes to achieve immortality was a secret plan he carried out alone. Even if allies had known about his Horcrux obsession, they likely would not have known the specifics of how he implemented it. Phones could not have exposed or prevented his Horcrux magic.
Influencing the Ministry: Voldemort infiltrated the Ministry of Magic and influenced key officials through fear, bribery, and the Imperius curse. Modern communication would not have prevented these types of Machiavellian manipulation tactics.
Conspiring with Death Eaters: Voldemort met secretly with his most loyal Death Eaters to conspire and plan using protective charms and secret locations. Even with phones, his inner circle likely would have found ways to meet in person to ensure complete secrecy. This means that a phone would not have stopped him but rather slow him down
some Ravenclaw witches and wizards tend to have qualities that would allow them to develop the skill for limited wandless magic:
Intelligence - The natural ability to understand, reason, and think critically about complex magical concepts.
• Curiosity - The desire to experiment, research, and discover the secrets and nuances of magic.
• Work ethic - The diligence and determination to study and practice magic for years to develop the type of focus and control needed for wandless spells.
While Ravenclaws are known for their intelligence, creativity, and wit, their thought processes and abilities often manifest in unique ways that set them apart from others. The traits that define Ravenclaws, including intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and curiosity, can lead some Ravenclaws to develop prodigious talents at a young age. However, for many other Ravenclaws, these traits simply result in above-average intellectual abilities and aptitudes for learning. Given their distinctively clever and insightful nature, even Ravenclaws who are not traditionally considered 'prodigies' can still think, perceive and excel in ways that set them apart from their peers.
If I’m not mistaken, Rowena’s decision to guard the Ravenclaw Common Room with a riddle is based on her belief that any who make the effort to seek and manage to be clever should be rewarded for their work. She was always my favorite of the Founders. The Houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin are more about belonging to a club of elites. And anyone who asks will probably be let in to the Hufflepuff Common Room, they are all about making people feel like part of a family.
I’ve heard that if you walk by the Hufflepuff common room while hungry, the door just opens for you!
Funnily enough these riddles ARE fairly secure because apparently (at least i remember reading this somewhere) witches and wizards by default are less logic based in their thinking due to them being magical creatures and magic is basically the opposite of logic.<
Most muggles, if they could somehow get into Hogwarts, would be able to get into the Ravenclaw common room while only a few non-ravenclaws would and those who would be able to were most likely considered for Ravenclaw to begin with (McGonagall was a hat stall and could easily do it and while we did not get evidence of it, we all know Hermoine would be able to and the hat was also considering putting her in Ravenclaw)
Hufflepuff's "password" is a just knocking the correct barel in the basement. you gotta knock on a specific barrel in the tempo of "Helga Hufflepuff" if you fail you get doused in vinegar.
This password never gets changes and cleaning off vinegar from yourself is basically wizard 101 so it does feel pretty tame.
@@jcolinmizia9161 I'm pretty sure that's actually the kitchen of Hogwarts, but they are in the same area so i doubt anyone that doesn't belong in hufflepuff would care much about the difference
@@kriegvenator4799
Normally i dont do this, but...
Um, actually, the way into the kitchen is by tickling a pear in a painting of a bowl of fruit.
@@equinox3141 You are absolutely correct, that is the regular way to get in. we were talking about an alternative way however ^^
castle is spookily sentient
I like how the explanation of "your true enemy is just you with the first letter flipped upside down" neatly skirts the fact that "Brennan" with the B flipped is... ALSO BRENNAN.
I was thinking of ways to flip a single letter of Brennan's name to fit this criteria and I came up with Breuuau. Maybe just Brennau.
Or Prennan would make the most sense, since a lowercase b is an upside down p. So Prennan Lee Wulligan would be the name of his Wario.
@@TheTr1x._. um actually, Prennan ree Wulligan.
I guess that depends on how you “flip” it. For some reason, I was imagining “flipping” a letter upside as rotating the letter 180°. But clearly that has very different results than just mirroring a letter upside down
Are you nerds actually taking Dan's little joke that Brennan is his own worst enemy and trying to logic it? (If so, that's fine).
I always felt the Ravenclaw commonroom had a riddle instead of a password because they welcome anyone who could contribute knowledge
Also didn’t the other rooms have unique entry conditions? Or am I just making that up
@@DeathnoteBB nah ur right, all houses have unique entrances though slytherin and gryffindor are similar to each other
@@DeathnoteBB yeah! hufflepuff had like a certain barrel you needed to tap, and if you tapped the wrong one it would spray you with vinegar or something wild like that
p sure that is the lore
But is solving a riddle contributing knowledge? The answer to the riddle is already known, right?
The whole Harry Potter fan fiction of ravenclaw members and their difficulty with their security was hilarious. I would LOVE to see that played out in a Harry Potter comedy spin-off. That is just so brilliant
I headcannoned it at one point to "Ravenclaw has a safe-word password, like the security questions you have if you forget your password.
They only really use the puzzles in front of other houses because they go 'Yeah they're the smart ones, that makes sense' and use the password any other time because nobody can be bothered to know the answer to every riddle."
What's REALLY insane about Wario is that the canon reason he is a bad guy is because Mario inadvertently bullied him in his early life.
Every time he calls on Brennan it sounds like the teacher calling on the know it all student that always adds unnecessary extra information lol
Fun fact: gold kryptonite, while not directly taking power from a kryptonian, will prevent them from absorbing sunlight permanently, indirectly robbing them of their powers

Um, actually (to Jackie, not to the actual question), pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths, there was a form of kryptonite that could remove Superman's (or any Kryptonian's) powers permanently: gold kryptonite. Post-Crisis, it only removes powers temporarily. The most memorable use of gold kryptonite to me was in Alan Moore's two-issue "imaginary story" (precursor to the later Elseworlds line) called "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?"
Not to mention the fact that periwinkle kryptonite doesn’t exist and the most likely candidate is red kryptonite
@@kylekrick663 Periwinkle kryptonite does exist (in at least some continuities) and does make Kryptonians lose their inhibitions. That wasn't the part of that question that was wrong.
@@kane2742 fair enough
Trapp's exasperated "YES, BRENNAN?" not a minute in. Oh, boy, this is going to be an episode.
Um, actually Gold Kryptonite was the type of Kryptonite that take his powers away permanently.
Smallville taught us this
Also, Pink Kryptonite only appeared in one panel of one issue of supergirl, as a satire of the pre-crisis superman stories, that involved such a rainbow spectrum of kryptonites.
Does that make it ok? Not really.
And the writer was hella straight, and is one of those writers that just gives off this vague feeling that something is not right.
i was ligit thinking that they were gonna talk about gold k but i guess not
Um Actually, Gold Kryptonite is not the only way he can lose his powers. The Red Sun chamber, as shown in Superman 2, where he is exposed to high quantities of Red Sun radiation can also remove his powers permanently. The only way he was able to get his powers back was to find the original Crystal used to make the Fortress of Solitude so the chamber could be used to reverse the Red Sun effects.
Fun fact: In the somewhat recent “Justice League Action”, there is an episode where Superman is exposed to pink kryptonite and instead of becoming a gay stereotype, he became a woman.
Um actually, it is very well stated in the first book that the majority of wizards are not able to solve simple logic puzzles as they rely too much on magic for the answer, this is why one of the traps that guards the sorcerer's/philosophers stone is a logic puzzle. Ravenclaw being a house devoted to knowledge relies on the fact that anyone with the wits to solve one of their riddles is already in ravenclaw.
10:15 Brennan is actually spot-on, and it does happen. In the game Hogwarts Legacy, outside of the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room a cot and pillow can be found. These are for the students that can't answer the riddle and must sleep outside their common room.
Umm actually... Wario has the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
No, that's Waluigi.
Waluigi has the healthiest BMI.
Kinda like a crocodile
Waluigi is the best tennis player in human history, and has an incredible BMI. That is the perfect human body.
Y’all clearly don’t know what a BMI is cause Waluigi is severely underweight but I swear a BMI would say he’s obese
@@DeathnoteBB Nay nay, he would be ‘average,’ while _Luigi_ would be overweight.
Somehow.
"Who knew that the existential cry of dread was 'Wah!'?" Pure gold
literally made me LOL
too doo-do-to-do to
For the ravenclaw question I think it was that the common room was kind of a second library and she wanted the knowledge to be accessible to any student even the other houses as long as you prove you are knowledgeable by answering
Not just that but the answers to the riddles were not easy and thus if you could answer it you were already most likely a raven claw anyways (The majority of the highly intelligent wizards were assigned to raven claw) so it would actually be pretty effective at stopping the majority of would be break-ins.
4.37 Um actually, in the extended universe, it is confirmed the Kyber crystals are not technically the only crystal that can be used to power a lightsaber, as other crystals and rocks can be used, with differing effects, one example of this are Krayt Dragon Pearls, which emit a "powerful and destructive blade that emitted a howling sound when ignited". other exaples include Adegan crystals and the Kaliburr Crystal. these, along with synthetic Kyber Crystals sometimes used by the sith can be considered in many ways just kyber crystals (Adegan crystals, in particular, are just variant kyber Crystals not from Ilum), but these technically dont count as traditional kyber crystals, and so.. yeah.
sorry if that comes off as pretentious, i just came across a field i know too much about
Either way, definitely not dilithium crystals
Answering the call to "get in the comments" I'd like to point out that Brennan with the B upside down is still Brennan. How can we know he's not the evil one 🤔

@@resurrecsean don’t know how you’re flipping that S ma friend. Cause your evil twin would be more of a Zean
9:19 um, actually, this is because the intention is not to keep all other houses out like the other common rooms. Rowena Ravenclaw wanted her parts of the castle to be open to all who seek knowledge and to better themselves. While it is technically less secure than a regular password, it is not intended to be secure, it is intended to be challenging. The whole point is that anyone who wishes to challenge themselves and become a better witch/wizard should be able to come in, we should not restrict knowledge or the ability to learn.
The problem with Rowena Ravenclaw's sentiment is that it isn't open to all, it's only open to people who can solve the riddle. So the knowledge is only available to people who already have a high level of intellect.

Um actually, this episode is two years old and I'm positive somebody else pointed this out by now. But gold kryptonite is capable of permanently taking away the Kryptonian ability to process yellow sunlight removing all powers gained from that sunlight. Also in Justice League Action, pink kryptonite is shown to also be able to change a Kryptonian's gender.
Um actually Gold Kryptonite, when exposed to long enough, does cause Superman to permanently lose his powers as seen in Injustice.

A note on the host's rant about Ravenclaw riddles:
Hermione was at one point revealed to have been offered by the hat to join Ravenclaw. Yup. That's the whole note. The whole "the hat doesn't neccesarily control the house you go in" isn't just exempt with HP himself.
I like that Brennan's evil twin if you follow the same naming conventions as Wario, is still just Brennan.
Wennan Wee Wulligan
Nah it's Oorennan
My immediate thought also 😂
But if you follow the same naming convention as Waluigi instead, it's Wabrennan.
Um actually, Wario’s name is a portmanteau of the Japanese word warui (I can’t write the Japanese symbols, but it means “bad”) and Mario, so Brennan would become Warennan or something like that. The same thing goes for Waluigi as well

Um actually, he was talking about 2e, which, according to internet has
Abjuration, Alteration, Conjuration/Summoning, Enchantment/Charm, Greater Divination, Illusion, Invocation/Evocation, Necromancy, and Lesser Divination as its schools of magic.
That was all googled though, so I get no points.

Also, they were Magic-users in AD&D, not mages, which also had Barbarians(but not until Unearthed Arcana came out).
"A league if their own" is such a good line in that moment. 👏
Agreed. I think about it often.
@26:50 Um Actually, in a real-life connotation a Mage would be one who is naturally aligned with Magic (kind of like Shamans) thus being able to use various spells and perform rituals without studying, whereas a Wizard would have to study in order to use various spells they are also associated with academia like Wizarding Schools (Yes Harry Potter). Wizards are also more routed in Wicka arts so to separate gender by distinction in those arts we have Wizard (male) and Witches (female).
The fact that Brennan didnt get the 20,000 leagues under the sea question to me is......unfathomable.
I gotta say I'm pretty impressed Brennan just knew all of Odin's pets off hand
Who doesn’t?
@@sardoniclysane People with a bad memory! Aka me :(
pets & one of his nephews
Tbh, when he mentioned the two wolves, I thought he was talking about Sköll and Hati, the wolves that chase the sun and moon and was like, are they really his pets though? They're basically setting Ragnarok in motion. But, no, he's right, Odin does have two wolves as pets as well.
pets/nephews because this is mythology baby
I am proud that The Stand was the only cover I recognized because my dad was reading that version when I was a kid and the Hieronymous Bosch style of the cover stuck in my head. When I read the book I was a bit disappointed by the lack of swords and Bosch demons but I did really love the book.
For a Sp'eling Be you gotta hit them with "Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor"
As a hard core Brennanhead, it pains me to admit that he did, in fact, missed the Nemo question.
Fr. Normally when I watch these I have no idea what the answer is, but I actually knew that question and was fairly surprised Brennan didn't
Brennan is technically correct in the sense of how they are used. One league is equivalent to 3 miles or about 4.8 kilometers which would be deeper than most parts of the ocean. Fathoms were widely used as a measurement of depth being only about six feet.
@@benpurcell4935 while I would never say he was wholly WRONG he did in fact miss the correction at hand in a way that was not in a way that he should be awarded the point.
@@jantaine1722 He missed what the show made wrong but did not miss what should have also been wrong.
“Leagues are a measurement of distance, fathoms are a measurement of depth” is actual wrong. They are both measurements of length and what he is saying is the equivalent of “you’re not six feet tall because I turned my head sideways, you’re one foot tall and six feet wide.”
I just love how every time Brennan buzzes in you can hear the slight irritation in Trapp's voice 🤣
"Yes, Brennan?" 😂
"slight" irritation? Pretty sure it's more than slight haha
26:45 - Yes, "Wizard" is a type of "Mage" in the same way that "Lion" is a type of "Cat", but not all cats are lions. In this context, "Mage" really just means something akin to "Arcane spellcaster".

For the riddle one, I like the idea that it isn’t hubris. The house is open to anyone who’s willing to think and share their ideas. Knowledge is grown through collaboration after all.
As a self-proclaimed Ravenclaw, I always liked the idea of a riddle for the password. It’s a fun thing to do and the praise is nice :)
Though if you just wanna get into bed and collapse it can be annoying
Mmm, yes, as a reward for being knowledgable, you can steal all of my pocket money. You are soooo smart!
I'm sorry to be a bummer but it's Harry Potter and I guarantee Rowling wrote that because she assumes smart people are just born that way.
@@StarkMaximum um actually hatsune miku wrote harry potter
@@StarkMaximum um actually its not Harry Potter, its a door, and it has its own sentience.
That Ravenclaw Common Room Riddle conversation had me dying of laughter. I need a fanfiction where they have a "designated riddler". Or I at least need more people to make this a very common headcanon
"Are you a sphinx?"
"No its the riddle of the sphinx!"
...
"FUUUCK!"
“Ca-can we just burn the door down? For fucks sake man one of us has to know a fire spell or some shit, right?……..what do you mean the door is fireproof because someone lit the door before so they had to replace it with a fireproof one? *FUCK! EVERYTHING!*”

33:27 woo, asbestos-free tomatoes
I like coming back to this episode because I finally knew something Brennan didn't. It gives me a happy warm fuzzy feeling. ETA: It was The Stand. I knew that cover immediately was The Stand, and almost couldn't stand it that none of them did.
"I look in the mirror and I cannon say It's-a me" damn it 😆 they got me again
I laughed so hard at that 😂
I love Brennan’s explanation that adults only ask 2 times max.
Except in my family
Why?
It's because we're tired... We don't have that limitless energy of youth to ask "Why?" 40k times...😅
@@KickyFut unfortunately my family puts the H in ADHD
15:10 Um, actually brief exposure to Gold Kryptonite is known to strip Kryptonians of their powers temporarily, with extended exposure being able to permanently remove them.
I’ve always thought that it was a common theme in Nintendo games where your enemy is a dark reflection of your self. Link has Dark Link, Pit has Dark Pit, Mario has Wario, even Samus has a Dark Samus.
Ok but the real question is, if a gay Kryptonian comes into contact with pink Kryptonite, do they turn straight? Do bisexuals turn ace and vice versa? Is it just impossible to be bi or ace in this alien species? I am super curious
Now I’m trying to rub my two brain cells together really hard to come up with an answe
My head cannon is that it just makes them flamboyantly gay
Probably just makes them stereotypically gay.
Its like PEMDAS, it cancels out
@@mikelv1 given DC comics it writes you out of the canon
When they got to the Terry Pratchett one i said out loud "Man that's some shit Terry Pratchett would put in his books to fuck with people"
"Designated Riddler" is Brennan's kind of humour.
I was coming at the D&D questions differently, because I remembered that up till 2md edition, arcane casters were just called Magic-Users.
16:36 not sure if anyone else has said this, but basically back in earlier queer history, stereotypes were far better for queer representation at the time than they’re seen today. A stereotype was basically a way that could be used to identify the sexuality of a character without explicitly saying it and risking getting censored or blacklisted. They became a way for gay people to find others like them without being out in an unsafe world, and were generally embraced by the queer community. Rock Hudson insisting on adding gay stereotypes was his way of letting the world know that he and his characters are gay in a way that didn’t remove his voice from the canon.
And this is why queer history is important!!!! The amount of young lgbtq members who genuinely try and attack or cancel things they don't know the origins of is frustrating at best😭
wow I had no idea- that’s really interesting!
@@abbystarheart1 this
Super true! But wasn't the comic from 2003?
Ooh, that's really interesting, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool, actually. Thank you for sharing.
Was that really still the case in 2003? Like, it was starting to go out of vogue a bit, but wasn't... Like, on today's standards, that'd be kinda reductive I feel, but maybe it was still acceptable in 2003?
Um actually, even though I'm way late to watching this and Brennan was correct in saying that the key components of the lightsaber were 'kyber' crystals, that is not the only part wrong with this. Jedi training does in fact involve hand-creating their own unique saber and powering them with kyber crystals typical found through the trials in Ilum's crystal caves, but as of current canon, which includes when this came out, Sith training does not include this. They can fashion their own blade but are encouraged as part of their training to claim the Blade of a defeated Jedi and focus their anger and pain into the contained kyber crystal, to literally bleed it as kyber is a living entity. The resulting intensity and instability of the process is what shifts the blade to its red color.
thank you for posting this I was so frustrated watching that part
I kind of like that. It sort of harkens back to the original films. I always thought it was implied that Vader only had a saber as he was a turned Jedi, with the red indicating the turn. It was surrly implied that the emperor never used a lightsaber and nor did Yoda
Also, in the old continuity, no naturally occurring red crystals existed. All Sith crystals were synthetically grown or were passed down from Master to Student.
So Sith never used Kyber crystals, new or old continuity.
i see somebody watched clone wars
@@Peter_Larsen How old is the old continuity? Does it predate the end of the original trilogy? As I say, in my head - based on just the OG - sith (or rather the baddies, as they weren't called sith in the films), NEVER used lightsabres.
Only jedi used them, and then only jedi knights, yoda never needed them. Vader was only an exception as he was a jedi who turned to the darkside - his red lightsabre symbolised him being a knight who turned to the dark, like the black knight in Arthurian myth.
The idea of the emperor of the OG using a sabre seemed absurb. I like it when it was small and symbolic, rather than muddying it with all the canon.
I am happy that I didn't know what any of those covers were EXCEPT STEPHEN KING'S THE STAND!
And I always thought the cover was weird because, despite having the book in my house, I never read it. I watched the SciFi channel miniseries and my mom and I love it. So, as a child, I was always perplexed as to why the cover was so vastly different from the subject matter in the miniseries. This was before I realized that the books are almost always adapted different from the movies (but I've still never read the book to confirm if this is a literal or figurative depiction of events).
So proud of myself for the Discworld map question, I still haven't read it yet and I nailed it :D
I like how Jackie pushes her glasses up every time she says um actually
“My deepest apologies for confusing two different thor-based frogs” was passive *insanely* aggressive
28:50 i know im late, but um actually valhalla only has half of the fallen warriors , Freyja collects the other half to Folkvangr and thats also only warriors who died in combat, for example even if one was a warrior but died at sea they would be ruled over by Ran etc...
24:56 The way Brennan looks at the camera here is great. We know he's going to get this question, but he's like "Oh yeah, there's no chance I'm missing it."
The disappointment when you realize it's a re-upload from CH and you thought it was a new Brenan episode
I'm pretty sure every episode on this channel is a reupload, at least since the holiday special from last year.
there are new episodes on dropout
Same :/
Oh ok. I thought I was going insane
@@Rognik yeah, when you you see the corrections from previous episodes theyre all old as hell
“wario wasn’t held enough as a baby” killed me
😂
Ironic since yoshis island 2 states that warmup is like that because he was kidnapped with every other baby on the onabst but refused to go home after and started stealing money
Not sure if it’s canon but then again I don’t think Mario has a canon in the first place
The technicallies were great this episode
1:28 Brennan was SO offended when Trapp said he wouldn't give the point
To clarify the "20,000 leagues under the sea" issue, Brennan was actually correct about in his assertion that oceanic depth is measured in fathoms and NOT leagues. The reason the point was not awarded is because Nemo traveled 20,000 leagues in DISTANCE, while being underwater in the sea.
This would be like describing a long hike during a hot summer day as "100 miles under the sun".
you surely could describe depth in leagues though, which was what brennan was objecting to. Leagues, like fathoms, are a measurement of distance.
A League and a fathom are planar/directional by definition. A league is a measurement of distance traveled on or in a parallel reference plane to the surface of the sea or ground. The origins of the word are attributed to the measurement that a Roman legion would travel in an hour. The historical length of the league is dependent on where you were and whose standard of measurement you were living in. Fathoms is always depth. It would be incorrect to say I walked 20 fathoms. A mile, foot, meter, etc. is omni-directional meaning that a foot is the same no matter the direction. If you were in a submarine you could say we are at 6 fathoms and direction is implied. If you were to say we are 36 feet you would have to add the word depth to indicate direction. Measuring depth in leagues is also useless because the level of accuracy is terrible. Fathoms were used primarily for ships to know the depth of water in shipping channels, around reefs, etc.
So yes they are both measures of distances but they have very different meanings and are not interchangeable.
Yeah dude they say this in the video
@@andrewurban6108 I would say leagues in the more modern sense are directional by convention/connotation rather than definition. Fathoms are definitely alway depth though.
That’s literally in the video
