In mythology the Fae are weak to iron, imprisoning them underground near a large iron deposit was a nice little touch that I appreciate.

"I don't believe it's anything magical." Sounds like something the Fae would say to get you off the trail of the Fae

Sticks and stones may break cryptid bones, but Roanoke will always educate me

[Vindictator]

I like how Roanoke just skips over the whole Fae are Magic thing.

Magic, AND STILL Get stomped by Humanity.

The Watchers are supposed to have lost their wings, magic and ability to endure the sun after being banished from the surface by humans in the past, but when Mina persuades Madeline to accept her human half as well as her Watcher half, she suddenly grows wings again. This suggests that the history both humans and Watchers know may be wrong, and that the Watchers' disfigurements have been caused by inbreeding without an infusion of human bloodlines after the two peoples had become estranged. Madeline, being a halfling, once again is what the Watchers used to be.

That idea that the uncanny valley is the latent feeling of something that is close to you but isn't you is always fun

[bubbles]

what made the "old woman" change in the end was remembering love... empathy.. the positive emotions.. the fae lost that living underground filled with hate and revenge.. thats part of the reason they lost their wings

[TheWorldVault-rwjx]

I love Roanoke's refusal to acknowledge magic 99% of the time.

*Radio showing Nordic runes*

Roanoke: "Clearly, this is just electromagnet interference."

[rpNerd]

I lost it at the "Paleness can be explained through the existence of Nordic people" XDDD as a pale nordic person, i applaud you

[TheChildofAuraReborn]

Don’t think many people will get this reference, but the fact that this movie takes place in Ireland and the guy Daniel hunting crows just reminds me of “There’s nothing better than unloading a shotgun on an unsuspecting crow”.

[FreelancerMA]

The Angler Fish Mafia sends its regards

"Trust the system" is the fastest way to get me to distrust something, and I immediately question everything.

[jakeking]

Anyone ever: "May I have your name?"
Me, eyes narrowing: "... No, you may not."
Better safe than sorry

[FireFreddy]

17:10, "Bike is also short for bichel" is an underappreciated line my guy

[kjstylesxtreme]

her ending up in the forest is easy to explain when you consider fae buggery

[kylecampbell]

10:15 You can't just casually drop the fact that humans have a dominant 6 finger gene and walk away. I NEED MORE ROANOKE!

There is a TV show called Surface that aired from 2005-2006. Unfortunately there's only one season of it, but I think there is enough information in that season that you could make a video about the main creature from the show. I find the concepts in the show fascinating and I thought it would be something right up your ally.

[Dakuu]

"Someone was clapping Fae cheeks~" lmfao. I love this channel.

[Kikeeks]

Would love to see Roanoke’s take on The Cabin in the Woods, particularly the way the government agents are manipulating the chosen ‘sacrifices’ as well as some analysis of the various horrifying monsters kept in captivity for the ritual.
