What the...this guy sounds just like me...www.youtube.com/channel/UC1NFsEXn4RrupAUH1h-m_vg

Ah yes, the Carboniferous. My absolute favorite geologic period. Why? We’ve got: -Cat-sized scorpions -Person-sized millipedes -Hawk-sized dragonflies -Seal-sized “sea cockroaches” -Weird strange huge amphibians that probably aren’t safe to touch -“Sharks” that can’t decide whether teeth should be in their mouths or on their dorsal fins -Oh, and everything looks like Florida on roids. What’s not to love?

"If you find yourself back in the Carboniferous, it's best to avoid Scotland." Timeless advice, my friend. Timeless.

Heavy helldiver breathing

Just imagine how many giant invertebrates from the Carboniferous didn't get to be fossilized. Lots of possibilities.
-
Fun fact: if you were to travel back in time to the Carboniferous period and encounter Pulmonoscorpius and it stings you, its venom would have little effect on you since there were no mammals at that time for its venom to evolve on to kill. There also wouldn't be any mosquitoes at that time, either despite it being a massive swampland since they haven't evolved yet. Also, wildfire would be more intense than today due to the abundance of oxygen.

Stuff like this is exactly why I heavily prefer Jackson's kong over the later 2017 reboot. The attention to detail he took to craft a realistic primitive world really is commendable.
-
This scene was the closest thing to the Eclipse from berserk in live action
-
Underrated time period. There needs to be more media coverage of this, not just walking with monsters
-
You didn't talk about how the higher oxygen percentage in the atmosphere was the cause for the giant bugs
-
That time when a combat shotgun with a bayonet would be sensible hiking equipment.
-
I’ll take big millipedes over regular cockroaches any day.
-
These videos are so funny cause in most cases they have both the best and worst possible depictions of an extinct animal
-
Those worms traumatized me as a kid 😂
-
These giant flying insects are scary to look at but can you imagine the sound they would make while flying circles around you while they dicide if they can eat you or not?
-
Too bad the Romans hunted T-Rex to extinction.
-
Kevin Hart catching strays in a bug video
-
"it was the size of 6 hefty watermelons" You lost me when you started using imperial.
-
This is still probably one of the scariest scenes in anything ive ever seen. The regular insects were fine. The worms swallowing that guy, tearing him apart and dragging him into their burrows is still beyond horrifying.
-
A time when even the world wanted to burn everything down after seeing how many crawlies it had on it
