    The fact that one of the baselines of Klingon culture is that they killed their own gods is probably all you need to know about Klingons as a people.

    • @powahwave8915
      @powahwave8915 Před 2 lety +3

      Probably because those gods didn't create them and were just oppressors

      What it says about the klingons is what it says about us killing the son of god as many of us are Christian and believe him to be. Even if u do not share this belief, you’re at least aware that other people believe it and therefore should be able to grasp the concept of my original comment - what it says about klingons doing it is what it says about us doing it.

    Clarification: At 13:32 I say "Captain" Benjamin Sisko. At the time he was still a Commander, as it wasn't until later that he was promoted to Captain. However, even though he only had the rank of Commander, he was considered "Captain" of the USS Defiant, as those in command of a ship were addressed as Captain regardless of rank.

    Biggest thing came right at the start . All humanoid species in Star Trek share the same origins in a progenitor species?? That is honestly an excellent way to explain the similarities between all the humanoid races. When you created this , did you find more somewhere in Star Trek that supports this fascinating theory? If so where?

    Hey, you do lotr stuff too right? What’s the deal with wizard staffs? Like they seem to need the staffs to do some of the stuff they do if not all the stuff they do, but aren’t they themselves supposed to be super powerful magical beings? Why do they need staffs? Was there any point besides esthetics?

    • @CivilizationEx
      @CivilizationEx  Před 2 lety +1

      Technically they didn't need their staffs for magic, but they did help focus and sustain their power since their abilities were limited in their human form. They were also a sign of authority and rank.

    Totally lost interest when halfway through the video the DRASTIC physiology changes in just a few generations wasn't addressed... and that doesn't even count the insane orc makeover of the horrible Discovery version that needs to be erased from all memory.
    Geez even TNG addresses it when they go back in time to the tribbles episode LOL (but just with a cheeky "don't ask")

      @Jnor116 Před rokem

      The first and early 2nd season of the next generation made reference to the empire joining the federation. It was changed to an alliance between the two governments so that the klingons could remain as a seperate entity, but still be connected to the federation.
