  • In the year 2051, Earth is just about completely devoid of natural fauna. 3 years prior, creatures would descend from Russia and invade the rest of the planet, Almost completely annihilating human life in that short amount of time. With the Homo sapiens race running out of options, they must go back in the past, to recruit humans to help them fight these monsters. In todays episode, we will discuss what those creatures are and a possible origin point based on physiology and social structures!
    Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy The White Spikes of Tomorrow War Origins Species Explored | Where Did the Monsters Come From?

      So those who went early probably got more training while Jump capable current soldiers went, probably bolstered by those soldiers who are no longer currently with the army that could Jump.

    One major flaw of the movie is they didn’t kill the female while she’s restricted. Dan already suggested to kill her but Muri denied saying they’re out of time. But the funny part is, they still had lots of time and they can just unload a whole magazine to her neck and it’s done. It is also the female that found them afterwards.

    Dan felt like he was destined to be involved in something important and left his wife and child because the disappointment was eating at him. His daughter wanted to give him that chance, which was why he was one of the last to be drafted - Mari waited until the toxin was almost complete, put him in the Research Group, so that she could give him the toxin before sending him back. This was partially successful: what Dan realized was that the most important thing he'll ever be is a husband and father.

      @@slevinchannel7589 Well personally I think that point is being blown out a bit more than necessary. See, it was Dan of whatever Chris Pratt’s character was, idea to send it to the future. When future Dans daughter was working on the poison it was always hers and presumably most of the war efforts desire for him to simply produce it and kill em before it even happened. What’s super dumbassery is that when he told military lady what that vial was when Dan woke up and he actually let it go (which we don’t know when this happened) that she didn’t tell the govt and the govt didn’t go ape shit with taxpayer money producing that poison. Anyone with 2 brain cells should realize that sending it back to the future was never necessary about 12 seconds after Dan said that.
      Now for the part that REALLY pissed me off.
      When they did the injections on the ship, why in the ever loving fuck did Dan not go straight for the queen WHO WAS IN A OBVIOUSLY LARGER POD. Obviously the real reason is the plot demanded it but damn in cannon that’s a stupid ass move. I mean ffs the fact it even killed the other white spikes there didn’t prove a damn thing about future daughter being right because it ALREADY KILLED MALES. Furthermore do you really expect me to believe 2 people planted explosives in the right place in as little time as they had to make the whole ship go boom and actually kill the rest of those bastards? For some race that somehow crippled humanity in three years they sure where susceptible to being blown the fuck up by conventional means.

      Polar bears don't reproduce at the same rate, swim in the same manner, run nor swim at the same speed, have the same level of stamina, climb flat walls, do not predict attacks nor have armor on their back that they can quickly use whenever they notice that they are being attacked, fly, climb, shoot out spikes with high accuracy, hunt and consume literally everything from fish to cats to dogs to horses to humans, have even half as many limbs that are used for attacking, one polar bear running at top speed into a Humvee doesn't cause it to flip over several times, nor can they f*cking fly bro 😂😂
      That part of the plot that had holes wasn't the creature itself, cause an animal like that if given 2 years to reproduce without being bothered can definitely throw off the ecosystem of an entire continent quickly, the holes were in them not simply saying "Okay, let's spend these next 30 years trying to figure out where they come from and do research on incendiary weapons or bullets that are made from the armor that's on their backs, and also station 100,000 soldiers from different armies within the 100 mile radius that we know that they came from" etc etc

      Second, Polar bears can also eat anything, that includes Humans, what they do every year unfortunately.
      Third, the White spikes might be a bit more agile but it seems you have never Seen a freakin polar bear Attack. Only Thing Polar bears cant do is shoot Spikes.
      I especially took Polar bears as example cause theyre the biggest carnivorous Land animal. I didnt choose them Just cause theyre White. Same Specs as the White spikes. Probably even a great amount heavier than a White Spike.
      And even when the White spikes have Armor plates on the Back, you can easily kill them with an assault rifle, grenades, Explosives, Blunt force Trauma etc.

      @@nitro8529 sorry for the wrong word, they can glide* as shown in the movie, is that better man? Bears can't glide just yet right? It's like you made a comparison without thinking any factors through and just want to stick to it now lol
      They also climbed up the last military base that is shown in the movie, or was that military base not a flat wall but actually slanted?
      Polar bears CAN theoretically eat anything & everything just like humans can and yet we humans don't rampage around a bush eating every lizard or frog that we see in public when we're hungry while traveling home from work, correct? Polar bears do not eat everything for pretty obvious reasons like not being capable of traveling to New York City nor Egypt nor being able to survive different temperatures and understanding how to conserve food, while White Spikes can travel anywhere & will eat everything, I'm sure you can tell the differences there. Polar bears will also not run 300 ft away to look for food just because they hear a pebble drop on the ground, nor can polar bears use a high ground when hunting
      You didn't break down speed differences for both land and water, nor reproduction rates, nor bears having much more cumbersome & almost scripted movement when they are fighting other bears which the spikes do not have as they react much faster, nor them being able to communicate against prey/predators through pheromones and cries, nor polar bears only using 2 limbs plus their mouth as a weapon unless you have a video recording of polar bears using their hind legs for attacking like a character from Kung Fu Panda lol
      White Spikes were shown using all 4 limbs plus their tentacles plus spikes plus attack in groups while polar bears do not which would be what makes the difference in attacking helicopters and other vehicles, the only land vehicle that would be formidable would be a tank as it would be much harder to flip over but a regular Humvee and a helicopter would get knocked over or knocked down.
      Your entire comparison relies on removing the fact that they were allowed to grow their population for several years before coming into contact with a human who was able to alert others of their existence
      10,000 of these can definitely decimate a village or town or outpost in the mountains of Russia in minutes before others are able to be made aware especially when you can see that they do not hunt and simply spend time consuming their meal but they hunt, take a bite, and then continue to kill anything else in the area that is alive which is another thing that bears do not do lol
      Don't get me wrong, they should've nuked the Queen's location once it was discovered but I'm assuming that they already lost access to the higher end of military power by the time that the nest was discovered.

      Yeah, it was executed fairly well, it's a good action flick with a fun and interesting premise, but it lacks polish. Technically, that's kind of how most action flicks are anyway, especially sci-fi ones (the CGI is often weird and flaky if you look close), but this one could have used a few people dedicated to closing plotholes in the writing.
      Still a fun film. I saw a preview for it while watching something else on Amazon and decided the concept was good enough to watch, plus it's Chris Pratt (who, I'll be honest, doesn't have the acting chops to really sell the serious roles; even if he did fine in the film overall), and I don't regret it. Heck, I'd probably watch it again in the future.

Main infantry rifle is now a very hot 6.8spc cartridge similar to .277 which is bigger than .223(5.56).

    The soldiers from the future gas lit the past into thinking it was their future and had to help. But in reality they were from an alternate timeline and they were using the past timeline for meat shields out of desperation.
    Additionally, Muri was running experiments on the toxin but the plug was pulled when the higher ups discovered it couldn't be mass produced in time.

    I watched this movie few days ago and despite the multiple plot holes and the fact that the humans were completely devoid of logic and common sense, I enjoyed it very much. A great popcorn flick without a doubt. I've seen enough alien invasion movies, but so far, the White Spikes were the scariest imo and reminded me of the Outriders from Avengers: Infinity War. I really wish we get a sequel to this or maybe a prequel where they touch up on the origin of the White Spikes and the aliens that brought them to Earth.

      Might work. Might take a bit to long. If a nuke can wipe them out in a 50KM radius, and they can move out (in a circular pattern) at 100KM per day, then in about 3 days that you would have to detonate so many nukes that the radioactivity released into the atmosphere would cause massive amounts of damage. If you wipe out the nest with a few nukes then it might work, but you'd still have to contend with all the ones that already escaped.

    It's a C-130J Super Hercules, its the transport variant of the C-130J, and with the external fuel tanks on the plane it allows for extra fuel for flight but also increases weight, in general the, Hercules can travel 3,800km just enough to get them into Russia, but if they wanted to be extra cautious(but also spend a bit more money on fuel and transport, they could fly it into Alaska, and land at an airstrip closest to Russia refuel then take off and have enough fuel and range to get into Russia.

  • @RensStoryteller
    @RensStoryteller Před rokem +12

    I'm actually writing a story with a similar thing to what you think of the white spikes, but instead of JUST ants, the entire planet was a manufactured test tube for weapon creation, and it's been in use for a while with many of the DNA samples available being from Death Worlds across the galaxy.
    Could I get your thoughts?
    For backstory:
    The world's creators, known as Wildlings were foolish and greedy, and in a ploy to truly dominate the weapons market that they had already fed with other weapons, they combined the best samples of their time and of their own creation into two weapon/slave races: Hi'rii, and Humans with the hopes of creating the ultimate weapons.
    The Humans were the version 1; an accidental creation that was found to be a brilliant slave race that could be taught to do most work quickly, but not initially thought to be a very good weapon, though that could be changed with a few genetic changes.
    The Wildlings made a version 2 in the form of the Hi'rii; a followup on the design of the Humans, but with many more active traits from the environment and a few that were coded in manually.
    As the Hi'rii were being finished, the Humans were becoming more of a pest than they were worth. So the Wildlings worked in an ability for the Hi'rii to "Turn" Humans which converted them on a cellular level into drones that are loyal to the Hi'rii colony's Queen, and thus to the one who commands her, and then set them loose to hunt Humans.
    The Hi'rii ended up turning on the Wildlings and wiped out the outpost they had along with any ships that came to reclaim it. As a result, the planet was quarantined and the system erased from galactic logs.
    The Hi'rii kept hunting the humans, but eventually they began to interact more nonviolently, like with the other hominid races made by the Wildlings.
    Some Humans in south america began worshiping one as a god of their pantheon, while in europe they lived alongside Humans as equals for a time.
    Unfortunately, we can't have nice things and eventually the Catholic Church declared a holy war of extinction against them as the Pope believed they were Demons, causing a hundred years of violence that almost wiped out the Hi'rii altogether.
    The few colonies that survived the war fled underground and across the sea where they went into hiding, slowly recovering in the shadows while the Humans forgot about them completely and eventually deemed them to be a lost Myth.
    Centuries later and humanity is at it's darkest hour, as the planet is under attack from another alien empire that didn't get the memo and saw an uncharted system that was rich in material's and decided to add it to the empire.
    War wages on for years and the Hi'rii reemerged from the shadows to aid in protecting Earth and her people in the conflict.
