Still one of the greatest villains of all time, and honestly a genuinely great depiction of the kraken

Interesting fact in Europe there are sightings of the kraken. However scientists and others believe that its most likely a giant squid. But for some strange reason very few expeditions have been made in the area.

I love watching these videos. I'm a mythology junkie. Mythology was my favorite class in highschool

The timing of this is insane, I was literally just watching some of your other water monster videos!!! Kraken have always been a particularly weird one to me, since we fully acknowledge now Really Big Squid are out there and hardly the freakiest thing in the seas.

I genuinely didn't know the Kraken hailed from Scandinavian mythology. 🤯 As always, a wonderful video touching on a popular presence in fantasy and other fiction. Thank you!

That kinda makes sense. Cephalopods get bigger in colder waters, which are way more nutrient-rich than, say, the warm Mediterranean Seas & Greek coasts everyone associated the Kraken with.

I fully believe that most sea monster myths are based on real creatures - giant squid and octopus as the basis of the kraken, and oarfish make a completely believable sea serpent. If you see something large in the water, especially if you're experiencing rough water or other problems, it's incredibly easy to see large animals as even larger and more frightening than they actually are

Given that you’re talking about a gargantuan squid from mythology and since I’m a big fan of your channel. You could say my reaction is what a Kraken performance

Maybe the kraken story originated from a small crew of fishermen, no more than six men. Setting sail for their usual fishing trip in good cheer, waving goodbye by their wives. On board they had their nets and far, far too much mead. They began drinking just out of sight of their village. Singing and drinking and drinking some more, they headed in the wrong direction to seas known for poor fishing and bad weather. Nets trailing behind their boat, empty and unwatched. The men spent a whole day and night in a mind fog of mead, while the wind grew stronger and waves rocked their boat. One man fell overboard unnoticed, drowning before he could call for rescue. The now high waves sobered the others quickly before they joined their crew mate in the sea. Heading back to dry land with broken nets, no fish and one man short. They were scared and more than a little embarrassed of the reception the rest of the village would give them. They all agreed on telling a fantastical tale of how they bravely fought off a frightful beast from the depths of the sea with only their oars and their bare fists. Explaining, if not for the heroics of their lost crew mate, all of them would have died. These fishermen were lucky, the village believed their tall tale and from then on, never took mead on a fishing trip again. BUT... in time the next generation took over. They were young and brazen. They ignored wisdom passed down. Setting sail one day in good cheer with their nets and far, far too much mead...😁

I've been hearing about the Kraken since I was a little girl. As you said yourself, it makes numerous appearances all over. Either movies, tv-shows or books. I was trying to remember which one was the first time I heard of the Kraken. It was perhaps a very old animated version of the Jules Verne tale. Even if I always connect that with the giant squid, not directly the Kraken. I remember I read books on Aquatic Mythology often enough growing up and then there was The Pirates of the Caribbean movies that brought back the Kraken creature to mainstream pop culture again.

Please make a video talking about Martians.

Here’s a fact this video forgot: In 2018, Seattle was awarded the 32nd NHL franchise. Three years later, the team would be named the Kraken. And in their second season, they bested the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Colorado Avalanche, in a seven game series in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Could you please do a video about Cthulhu?

Unfortunately, Cthulhu is not a figure of myth or legend, he's a character created by H.P. Lovecraft!

There is one movie that gives the kraken a great name: Ruby Gilman: Teenage Kraken. 🦑👩🏻

Great one on the kraken.Im Glad that they put the Kraken or giant octopus in Meg 2

Another reason to be afraid of the ocean

Excellent video.🌹💜🌍

I was right! Thank you so much for bringing my guess to life!

Can you make a video about the Leviathan?

Keep up the videos, this was great!

Oh I see, just because Joe Jonas' Kraken is a parody of the character in Hotel Transylvania 3 he doesn't even get an honorable mention, I see how it is. 😂🤣

Thanks for the video

Cool video!

What a great topic!

If a kraken type of animal actually did exist at one point, I wonder if it would have left any traces behind for us to discover it's existence. I don't think there is any biological reason why such an animal couldn't have existed at one point. It seems like something that large could have fought against the megalodon shark at one point, then died out leaving no fossils behind. The past could have been filled with a lot of terrifying creatures we don't even know about.

Thumbs up awesome new subscribers here 👍

I am surprised you have not RELEASED a kraken video before now.

if the Kraken is anyway the Abyss of the Arctic Ocean is most logical

Why did you not mention Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken along with the other honorable mention of krakens in movies??

Its goofy that everything that seems unreal is automatically a "myth". First of all that shit really happened and secondly you dont have enough vril to understand it anyway
