I was gonna make this joke but I figured some people in the comments wouldn’t like it 😂

Bi%(hes. Am I right?😂😂😂

Can't live with them or without them

And steals his Bacon

Yep it all can be blamed on a woman lol 🤣🤣🤣

Can’t remember the name of it but the movie that actually followed the book was good

Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price.@@Swampdonkey796

@@Swampdonkey796 Kinda like how John Carpenter's The Thing was awesome because it followed Campbell's "Who Goes There?" story pretty closely, unlike its predecessor. The main difference there was that the ending was less ambiguous and more of a "near miss" feeling with the Thing very nearly building itself a jetpack to escape, while Carpenter's Thing left it a bit more up in the air what happens.

@@Swampdonkey796 You're thinking of Vincent Price in The Last Man on Earth. Charlton Heston also starred in an adaption of the book called The Omega Man.

@@WynneL Too bad Carpenter didn't similarly follow the book when he made John Carpenter's Vampires. The book behind it, Vampire$ by John Steakley is really good (with some slow parts).

That is sure a bittersweet story and I'm glad you got to be back with your mom completely at the end. I wish you the best in life

@@adityakashyap9283 W

That was a moving story, well told. Ever thought of writing as a career? The pay is awful (except for a tiny minority) but the personal rewards are vast. You convey your truth with perfect pacing, avoiding mawkish sentimentality which, ironically, is what makes it all the more touching. I’m glad it had a happy ending, for you and your mom. Having worked as a Residential Social Worker (in the UK) for 6 years, in a previous life, I know that there were those who were bad at their jobs and not quite as many who were good at it. I wouldn’t wish the care system, fostering or care homes, on any child. I spent the next 6 years of my life as a Family Therapist, dedicated to preventing children being taken into care in all situations possible, where the child’s interests could be protected. That involved everything from family sessions to court appearances and mountains of paperwork. Trying to fix the impossible for a living, whilst neglecting my own loved ones, lead to my having a breakdown and being hospitalised. I learned that the only people who last in those kinds of jobs are sociopaths and those who just don’t really care. But, my story has a happy ending too, as it gave me a lot to write about and live comfortably on thereafter. I know this is not about me, and I’ve really gone on a bit, but I just wanted to share the fact that there are people out there who really do care about people like you. We rarely got the chance to see what became of the adults we left behind as children. People like you, who write so well and affectingly about your experience, are needed and give people like me hope. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about the kids we worked with and the emotions are always bitter, if not bittersweet. But, the system was reckless and indifferent back then. Now, I don’t know to be honest. It’s clear from the way you express yourself that some people made it okay. Thank you for sharing that intimacy with the world. And all good things to you and yours. God bless.

Why you make me cry like that 🥹

Most were intelligent. There was a leader and a massive group that sat outside of his house every night. (He had UV lights set up so they couldn't attack him) They would taunt him, tempt him with females, and basically did anything to make him fall apart.

Exactly backup.

Waiting to hunt for food when you're out of food is a sure way to starve to death, or die from making mistakes while hunting because of lack of nutrition.

@@jjones503So, running out of food is a good way to starve. Good to know.

Well not only that, fresh meat is nice, and it's not like he has anything better to do

Exactly!!

And I get the exact same feeling absolute nostalgia from this, used to have me absolutely on the edge of my seat

exactly i thought man that's some powerful statement that night seeker is making.

That's what he SHOULD have realized, but it isn't what he thought at the time. I just watched it and thought Neville was really dumb with his analysis. He says, _"*an infected male exposed himself to sunlight today. Now, it's possible decreased brain function or growing scarcity of food is causing them to ignore their basic survival instincts. Social de-evolution appears complete."_ The alternate ending makes him realize they aren't just brainless, emotionless infected. I think you might have been referring to that in your comment. I just thought it was so goofy for such a brilliant scientist to completely miss the mark SO bad; clearly they weren't socially devolved. *Edit for formatting

*vampire

They're not zombies lol

Every single time, yeah, I own two german shepherds. Neither are trained as well but i’d lose a piece of my heart if anything happened to them.

This makes way more sense than them constantly killing people and then suddenly in the end it's "Oh we're just a little different, we do no harm frl frl"

I forgot about Vincent Price's version. I grew up on Charlton Heston version in the 70s

It's the King and the poisoned well fable. I agree Vincent Price's Version is better. Price starred in some fantastic roles during his career. An all time great actor. A Legend!

Price's version is probably closest to the short story, that is, "I am Legend," but I kind of secretly enjoy the camp of Heston's "Omega Man."

​@@michaellatta7699 The Omega man! Loved it😊

Oh yea that makes sense. He tried to catch one of these darkseekers before and probably pit Fred as a bait for the darkseekers. Man I remember watching this scene it had so uncanny vibe to it.

i also thought the same thing when i was watching the movie for the first time, that he was just splitting, and thought again that he got into his early set trap that he forgets about.

SAAAAMMMEEEE as a kid I always thought it was a trap he set for the monsters he forgot about since he was going crazy n sheit

EXACTLY! And especially the "conversation" with Fred underlined just how far gone he really was at that point.

same

I'm ecstatic either way, but I totally agree; it'd be better if they did a "refresher" of sorts.

Watch Omega man fair better

This isn’t a big hurdle because most were mad at ending anyway and wanted a sequel regardless even if it meant a retcon of ending which is why they released the alternate cut immediately with DVD.

I have only seen the grenade ending so watching this video really blew my mind 😅

they have been working on I am legend sequel for nearly two decades. it always starts and gets canceled for some reason or another. I dont hold any hope.

i’ve been crying since (23 years old) 😂

We're only men sir, not machines, only men

Bro same exactly I saw it in the theaters too

I couldn't watch it because of that until I was 13

Y'all sweet as hell

Yes you been living under a rock ?

​@@pnuttyinthacuttyCommon knowledge to you=/= common knowledge to everyone.

It was like that at the start cause majority of the initial vampires weren't smart enough for advance cognitive actions, eventually though some vampires started to become more human and less animalistic.

Yes, of course they are monsters, they are vampires. But the point of the book was that after it was all over, and the vampires took over, there was one human left, who would come and kill them in their sleep. Hence the title, "I am legend". Because now that vampires rule the world, they will forever tell the story of that human who hunts them when they are at their weakest. As if to say, it's all cyclical, just as we have legends of vampires, vampires would have their own monster stories.

@@hohenzollern6025 the video is trying to paint humanity as the bad guy which is what I’m saying is objectively false.

@@michaelguernsey1206 He is the bad guy, to the vampires. So no, it's SUBjective.

​@@hohenzollern6025the vampires are objectively the bad guys they killed the entirety of humanity and would do it again because they are a predator species of humanity, so yes humanity is the good guy and the vampires can eat shit in hell were they all belong

Not really if the vampires saw an innocent person doing no harm to them then they would definitely kill it and eat him, he was doing everything he could to survive

This is the I am legend I know

Thats bollocks They kill and eat people, THEY started this and now THEY should get their own society? Fuck that, when they decide to stop chomping hands and faces, Then we can have aconversation about civilizations

​@pavy415 that's the whole point, the movie is BS. it makes no sense. The story actually had a point.

That's dumb, though. As far as I'm concerned, they're not innocent if their very existence is part if the reason why my friends are dead.

The butterfly was the symbolism of hope. His daughter was the hope of his current life, then after she died the butterfly tattoo and the hand smear butterfly are symbols of hope for his current life. This is what makes it more difficult for him afterward to use the cure.

The butterfly was a symbol of the evolution we go through when we connect jumper cables to our nips. The writer had been shocked this way many times and he just wanted to show that he is now the butterfly he was meant to be after a lot of jumper cable sessions.

:o i never put that together!

That’s an incredible story 😂😂😂 it’s hard not to imitate that scene it’s so great

@@thethriftytypewriter - Be carefull as i don't really think you want a slap.

We named a pet after his daughter.

And then everyone clapped

This was a tad bit mean sory but I still find your comment dubious

They are good movies, but both absolutely butcher the original story, unfortunately.

​@@jjones503I've heard a little about the original story of I am legend but not about irobot

​@@jjones503the people who haven't read the book don't mind that though. And most haven't

​@@ath477I think I robot was a clever mystery novel while the movie turned it into a more generic action flick

@@rishiy6183 oh ok got take care

That’s why I made the comparison to getting abducted by aliens 👽

@@thethriftytypewriter I missed that part. I was mostly listening to it omw to work.

@@thethriftytypewriter But that comparison leaves out the infected killing people so it's not applicable. Maybe if you killed some aliens a few years ago and then later got abducted.

@@thethriftytypewriter Except the darkseekers aren't comparable to people abducted by aliens in my book. They woke up and immediatly started murdering everyone. I get that it was a food source for them, so in that sense, one could argue that it is justified. But that doesn't make Neville the monster anymore than a buffalo is for killing a lion that is hunting it. Neville was defending himself against a predatory species, that would have killed him without hesitation, whether he was trying to hurt them or not. The darkseekers aren't evil for hunting for their food, but neither are humans for defending themselves against a predator. I think the "natural order" comparison was apt, since nature is notoriously violent while simultainiously morally neutral.

There's a sequel???

​@ravencarino6115 right? I had no idea.

@@ravencarino6115 supposedly yeah, only rumours so far though

also supposedly with michael b jordan, and will smith comes back as well

I'm definitely challenging u to the person who's seen this the most. I used to watch it everyday as well and I think I got u

Yeah. The whole “the darkseekers aren’t monsters” idea goes out the window once you realize they still consume peoples blood/eat them. The motion comic special feature on the BluRay even show how the darkseekers once infected eat their family members. Petty monstrous.

If they were all killed then what made the darkseekers? use you brain

@@stellviahohenheimwhat are you on about. You can get lucky and escape but you see in the movie how they go after nevills blood. Theyre still monsters to humans. Like just because a gazelle sees that the lion has a cute family and little cubs doesnt mean that to the gazelle its any less of a monster wtf.

@@stellviahohenheim Human Corpses made the darkseekers.

Well, in their minds they probably aren’t eating people they’re curing them or something idk lol, they def don’t fully eat anyone since there are other darkseekers, they suck their blood, or if they’re mad at you they’ll fully murder you and tear you apart In the book, it kinda came off to me like they woke up as new people? Like, they showed the society aspects a bit more of the vampires or implied it at least, it’s been a bit since I read, but they had names, they dressed a lot nicer than darkseekers, had lives n shit, so idk if like, they die and wake up and adopt new lives or if they remember their previous lives and miss them or feel as if it’s just a continuation of the same life, like, idk, the vampire life and society was talked about so bluntly by the end it read as (not literally tho) “this dude Neville is a human, he’s a human and he’s being like, pretty fuckin rude, we gotta bring him before a circuit judge he keeps messing up our block parties” Old school vampires didn’t just drink human blood btw, they drank animal blood, so to me it felt like in this story once all humans are gone, even just in the area, if everyone forgets their previous life, a society arises, they eat animals at night and literally never see humans because humans are either all gone besides this rude dude Neville up the block killing vampire junkies after they pass out in the street drunk or they aren’t in the area anymore, stay in small groups and don’t come out at night, they become a legend, Neville is a legend, yada yada And with the context of the short story you can read the movie the same way, they’re probably eating those same deer, Neville is the outlier, the peeps that save him are one of those not so small groups separated from the city(ies) the darkseekers have taken over , they just made the vampires more silicone zombie lookin wearing tattered clothes and only showing how they act during the day or during scenes of them chasing after people in a horde, we don’t see any of them casually hanging out at night, roaming the street without a care, they may be a lot more normal than we know because all we see through is Neville’s and other humans lenses during times of chaos lol

The anime shorts were sick!

This guy spends the entire video going through the plot of the story and then in the end goes "I think the butterfly means that everyone should be loved" and you are SHOCKED he didnt do the basic little research analytic youtubers usually do?

It really, really isn’t. It was a really bad film and completely missed the point, which is all the more disappointing because the book is so, so good.
