I believe they explained in the movie why they lack armor, or at least a helmet. It's pretty much any direct hit from a mimic punches through any armor they have. Sure, the helmet can protect against shrapnel or glancing blows but the lack of vision is more of a hindrance as they need to avoid direct hits from mimics

For the ending, here's what I think, we're just observing the "Alpha Timeline" this is the Omega's and our main character's perception of events as they occur. This is the chess game that we see playout in the movie. It's only when the game is complete, everyone else is unaware of a game was even being played. It was just chance that he acquired the Alpha blood, this can't really be fixed by the Omega.

You have little arms sprouting out of your little arm is a haunting and brilliant explanation.

In case anyone wants this but crazier look up the light novel/manga this is based on called All You Need Is Kill

Hey!!! I’m here within 30 Mins finally! Roanoke You have been extremely informative and very entertaining! I love your videos man, Also your “Rambling” is what I love the most. When you go off on tangents and end up talking about our Almonds when you started with a topic on a bear. Can’t get enough of this lol.

I feel like it more likely that quantum superposition along the time axis is being utilized as information is sent to the past version of the organism. The end could be the case that the omega’s dead state is as sent back in time through Tom cruse’s character. This then could have have overlapped the currently alive version causing a deadly feed back loop as it was actively trying to loop into the future rather than past offing itself in the process

Remember kids, if at first you don't succeed, constant targeted harassment campaigns work wonders instead. It only took me more than 30 videos of pestering in the comments to finally get what I wanted.

Fun video. I honestly went to check to see if I had left the game running from the music. I recommend you read the Book it was based on "All you need is kill". They were not organisms, they are terraforming nanites that were sent to xenoform the planet. The "combat" forms we see were just a result of us the indigenous life fighting back. The temporal manipulation was just because it was so costly and expensive a project it couldnt fail etc. But not organisms, machines following their orders. Book did not have an Omega.

I dont know why, but the fact that Roanoke acknowledged the teo best characters in mass effect as such amuses me.

Ayooo love this movie so much. It was awesome to hear you crack jokes and explain this! I loved it. Do you think you could try to cover Viking Wolf?

I definitely recommend the original novel, All You Need is Kill. Much better in every catagory. The aliens are actually explained as basically nanomachine constructs intended to terraform (or I guess xenoform) Earth, started in the ocean and were basically forced to evolve into barrel bodied starfish creatures in order to fight humans and complete the terraforming. The movie really just took some of the names and most basic concepts of the plot and used them to make a pretty generic Sci-fi action vehicle for Tom Cruise.

I haven't considered mimics coming from a water based evolution, for me it felt like they were in a constant flux of time and space so much so that they were unable to maintain a constant physical form.
