Hearted Youtube comments on Extra History (@extrahistory) channel.

  1. As one who has read "The Hobbit" recently, I love the amount of references that made it into this one. From the colors of the Dwarves caps, to the Trolls from "Hilda," to Smaug looking like the version from the 1977 animated "The Hobbit." Huge props on this episode! Great work!

  2. "Strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cos some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

  4. As an organizational psychologist, i'm so glad you guys shed some light on this subject of safety and health in the work place and also the introduction of humanist progress to the industrial world. All this reforms and the ones to come after proved to be better not only for the well being of the worker and to ensure their fair and comprenhensive treatment, but also for the companies efficiency wise in the long run. This also helped close the gap between workers and administrations, creating a more efficient communication process and reducing both human loss and property damage by establising safety guidelines and programs. I could go on all day on how important this was for human rights, creating more effient and developed industries, and the modern world in general, but the important thing is that you guys created something valuable for students to start their own inquiries on the subject. Congrats on another great video, and best wishes.

  5. I learned about the year without a summer (1816) about a year ago and it was so interesting to learn how one volcano (Mt Tambora) could change so much for society.

  6. Elections = Mario Kart is a sentence I don't hear very often.

  7. I've never understood why Romeo and Juliet has been considered a love story. It's about two teens "falling in love" over the course of a night, possibly just because Romeo is the kind of person who falls deeply in love for a week and then ditches them for someone else and then gets caught up in the family drama that gets them killed. The most functional member of the play is actually probably Paris. He follows what was considered proper courtship at the time, he doesn't even fight anyone until Romeo tries to break into Juliet's tomb (understandable because due to the feud and Romeo killing Tybalt he was under the impression he was there to break shit and cause chaos.) and he seems to actually care about Juliet's wellbeing. For better or worse Romeo puts Juliet on the spot with a hidden marriage and then gets banished for killing a member of her family while Juliet concocts a convoluted plan to go along with her boy toy even though it means leaving her family behind to someone she's known for Two Days at the most. Honestly, the play can be considered a deconstruction of rash impulsive decisions, and how needless feuds lead to pointless deaths

  8. In case you are curious, the Lord of the Death's name is Mictlantecutli, and the name of the aztec underword is Mictlan, surprisingly a not so bad place to be when you die

  14. I feel like YouTube is watching me like the eye of Sauron because this is precisely what I was thinking about. They see everything.

  15. During the US Civil war, a Union Infantry Regiment of mixed nationalities was called the "Garibaldi Guards" though they would be defeated when Jackson would attack Harpers Ferry.

  16. Let’s be frank Japan’s political system at that time was a mess of contradictions. They had a parliament, a monarchy, and military dictatorship at the same time. I’d have a bloody headache if I was a Japanese citizen at this time.

  17. Pierre and Judas live as roommates in the lowest circle of hell

  18. Copied the description of romania from a travel guide, description of Dracula doesn't resemble the source material, co-opted vampire stories from elsewhere and integrated them into his story? Bram Stoker would have loved the Internet.
    393
  19. Are empires designed to fail? Is it possible to keep an empire to last for ever?
    392
  20. As someone who built a civilization with beer i can confirm that everything inside of this video is factually true.

    389
  22. 1 hour of Vikings! How cool!
    388
  23. Sandman comic is amazing. The TV adaptation was really good too and covers the first 2 story arcs of the comic.
    385
  24. The subtle change in aspect ratio was key for the jump scare! Kudos!
    384
  25. "Wu Zetian didn't really have her rivals' hands and feet cut off before drowning them in wine." "That's good." "She probably just had them assassinated." "That's bad."

  26. People just aren't weird and freaky like this often enough anymore
    381
  27. I wish you could've gone more in depth about the ghost dance, and how it operated. I find it as fascinating movement, but one that isn't talked about or completely remembered.

  28. As a Chinese Canadian, I'm thankful for you guys bringing attention to this book and encouraging an open discussion!

  29. That intro was basically how I felt after playing mafia definitive edition racing level. “Yes I WON I never wanna do that again”
    379
  30. More "so you haven't read" episodes please I know you guys have a full plate, but seriously, I think we and the audience could do with half rate (you guys pump out material).
    379
  31. Love that u guys make these corrections at the end of a series. Really makes your channel stand out with how transparent you are, and how serious you are with ur work
    379
  32. The story between the boy and his friend. Best Friends, Blood Brothers, Bitter Rivals. A sad tale, one of my favorite Extra History video series.
    379
  33. The description of the trail at 2:33 makes me think of a terrestrial version of the One Piece islands. Real life one-ups fantasy yet again.
    376
  34. Some Channels just want to watch the world learn.

  35. Last time I was this early the crops were still edible. But really, this is a fantastic series on a very dark time in Ireland's history. You did a brilliant job showing the humanity and depravity of the famine. Thank you.
    375
  36. OOOOH each "Complete" gets it's own custom remix of your intro theme? That's so cool.
    375
  37. I absolutely loved this series. Can't wait for the new voted series next week! Side note: I'm happy to report that my Nana is finally back home! I'm so grateful for those who commented on my other post. 😊

  38. Oh my God before this series, I had no idea about the Mongols, I only knew Genghis Khan by name, as a renown conqueror. But this, this is amazing! Can't wait for more of this series to come out! Also, I was pleasantly surprised with the release of this episode, as I thought the series on Genghis Khan was over already! Glad to see it isn't! hahaha
    374
  39. Brazilian here, and I would say that Pedro II is remembered very well, even by non-monarchists, because essentially every Brazilian leader that came after him was much worse, whether due to corruption, incompetence, authoritarianism, or more often than not, all of them.
    373
  40. Thank You guys so much, I never knew Fredrick the Great was so interesting! You present what could be a stale encyclopedic article in a fun and engaging light.
    372
  41. I’ll said it once and I’ll say it again I would love to see a extra credit d&d campaign

  42. Almost the entire population of earth: "OH DEAR GOD, WHAT'S HAPPENING???" The Dutch: Ah yes, good, this looks like an excellent business opportunity."

  43. Wow, Ibn was a jerk. Even with the issue of slavery, Mali was a really progressive African Empire, and I like how they blended Muslim and African cultures in a way that isn't forced. Diversity of cultures is good for human relationships and businesses. A country that is culturally homogeneous (which doesn't happen in real life) wouldn't be able to trade with other countries, and there would be risks of military conflicts.

  44. I’m only in the intro right now and it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Peak video
    367
  45. Matt as a real person, instead of his own drawing. Wait, that's illegal.
    367
  46. Gonna just say that "Monte-Brew & Capulatte's" is a genius name for a coffee shop.
    366
  47. to think people once thought these things about Mars kind of makes you wonder what we presume to be true today that turns out to be nothing more the the reflection of what we want to see?

  48. US soldiers, "Why are we invading in the winter! This is stupid idea!" Heer soldaten, "First time?"
    363
  49. Crime isn't that hereditary. Hey, what would I know, I just turned out to be a Geneticist instead of a criminal. Not bad for one of the Kelly clan :-)
