The Mogwai Gromlins in GREMLINS Explored | I am Legally Required to Call Them Gromlins

it's back up lmao
Merry Christmas! or it should be, UNLESS YOU FEED THE MOGWAI AFTER MIDNIGHT! The question is, why exactly is that the case? What hormonal interactions are responsible for the creation of the "gremlins"? and what is the lore on the "Gromlins"? Well luckily for us, the lore gets in its own way and ruins its life including mine. So today, lets discuss the Gremlins in Gremlins and how they come about!

Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy The Mogwai Gromlins in GREMLINS Explored | I am Legally Required to Call Them Gromlins

I always thought about it as Gizmo being the default form and adult, given how social he is and that he doesn't seem to 'want' to break the rules. They are smart enough to understand things, so he might know that if he breaks the rules, the evil gremlins come out. His species might need to have specific conditions to reproduce correctly. The gremlins are like cancer babies. Cells that aren't reproducing correctly and happen to be embryos. In both movies, he tries to help the humans kill the offspring because they are aberrations. That was my head canon at least.

I like to think that Billy's car was able to run because the Gremlins tried to sabotage it. But because it was so shitty they fixed it by accident.

[Lyze]

I read the novelization back when I was a kid. I remember the mogwais being created backstory but from what I remember it was some aliens that had made them, they send them to other planets as diplomatic gifts. Cute, smart enough to be entertaining and I believed implied to be immortal. The problem was that a ship went through radiation that mutated the mogwai destined to be given to earth. The 'rules' are all from this mutation and unforeseen. So on top of everything else, Gizmo is hundreds, if not thousands of years old. The reason why he's so well behaved is because he was the intentionally designed original bio pet.

[RedhoodJT]

Fun Fact that's been told at least three times: In the original script Stripe was supposed to be Gizmo and he would have beheaded Billy's mom. It was originally written as a horror movie. Its one of my favorites :)

[TheDaks]

The movie the mom was watching when she was cooking before Gizmo shows up is not "Miracle on 34th Street" but "It's a Wonderful Life" where George is running through the streets after he sees a world where he didn't exist.

[Burori]

Fun fact - The Gizmo animatronic was super fragile and would easily break down during filming, because it had to be used for a longer time. Meanwhile, it was much easier to use the Gremlins ones, because of their size.

[chancebaraks]

Never thought about it like this but Billy’s mom had to be some type of former super soldier the way she handled them. She was on some John Rambo type of action.

[blairhesse]

The second movie shows how they're genetically unstable since they were able to mutate so easily from just being injected with DNA

About the chimney story. I am a chimney sweep from northern Wisconsin and I've very, very rarely seen a chimney flu that is big enough to climb down. They do exist but mainly in super old buildings. I guess sweeps used to be able to crawl into the flu of old fire places but it's really not a thing. Most flus for stoves are 6-8 inches in diameter and fireplaces are 8x8, 8x12 or 12x12. Inches. There are exceptions and odd sizes but 99% of the time that's what I use. Good luck crawling down a 12 inch hole.

[BirdAnger]

Since it was re uploaded, I'm going to say it again, Mr Futterman and his wife did not in fact get squished and make it to New York in the sequel relatively unharmed

[JebWCManning]

Fun fact: The appearance of reporter Lew Landers means both Gremlins movies take place in the same universe as The Howling. Lew Landers also appears in The Howling as a coworker to Karen from The Howling. Apparently, Gremlins and werewolves exist together.

[SilentApe]

It's totally worth noting that "mogwai" essentially means something like "demon" or "monster" in Cantonese. They're literally supernatural.

[MikeB]

Term Gremlins "emerged from the U.K.'s Royal Air Force aviator slang (possibly influenced by goblin), and it became especially popular during World War II. Gremlins were described as tricksters that could be blamed for engine malfunctions and other mysterious, unexplained mechanical problems."

[sebchambers]

The Eagle has landed scene is hands down one of the best movie scenes ever, it’s aged like fine wine. Love this movie.

[alexkaen]

I always saw Gizmo as being an adult and aware of the dangers of becoming a Gremlin, like a Werewolf trying to manage the change. After Gremlins 2 it's also clear that newborn Mogwai are always trouble, which suggests that the Mogwai either always avoid reproducing or whenever they do it's a major catastrophe

[cryptomancer]

I believe that the original Roanoke died in that cave. He was consumed by a troglophile who assimilated him (much like the thing did). I believe that this troglophile was a giga Chad and that the original Roanoke was just a nerd. But their fusion created the smart Sigma male we now know as Papa Roanoke.

Edit:
That's at least my headcanon for this channel .

Lore abounds

[eddypeacock]

The gremlins knowing how to turn the movie on comes from the old legend that Gremlins know how to mess with electronics. It's actually a WW2 thing that became the explanation on why their aircraft and things would malfunction for no inexplicable reason and they became urban legend at the time

[tawon]

Here for the re-upload brother! Let’s goo Gizmooo.🙏

[kevinkerwin]

Similar to how each Mogwai has their own personality, I figured Gizmo was the Courage the Cowardly Dog of Mogwai. Even though they're how own kin, he's a lil fairy cat most of the time. Also 8/10 intro. What a Christmas gift! Merry Xmas, and thanks for the year of fun content!
