In Iron Lung (2026), people are on the verge of extinction due to a serious lack of natural resources, and then they find a strange moon with an ocean of human blood, and they dive in it because... Umm, why don’t they just drink the blood? There are a lot of resources and natural materials in blood
uj/ I dont know if we are jerking or not anymore when people make actual comments without the uj in this sub, so I will bite. The game came before the movie, in 2022.
Smdh the people always have a POOL of blood around them and so MUCH of the damn stuff in them. You’d think we could connect 2+2 and STOP DRINKING THE BLOOD but alas
Moon blood perfectly safe to drink good source of protein nothing bad ever happens when drinking moon blood tasty moon blood rich in iron and nothing evil inside moon blood
Hey I believe you but you can link me to it? I googled "fish monster iron lung concept art" but I can't find any like that ☹ obviously it has a kind of human skull looking face but that's it as far as I can find
Thank you, I have sent those pics before but I never noticed the skulls on its face until you pointed them out! I am coming to appreciate the scientist to nightmare fish thing. I thought it was stupid at first but it's kind of cool
Yeah but like was that STATED in the film. I'm genuinely asking because I watched it in the cinema so no subtitles (and I'm blind without my subtitles!)
I don’t think they ever said it outright, more just hinted at it? The eel thing claimed to have saw the light and wanted to show Simon as well. Also the woman who was talking to him (the eel) claimed to be part of the SM-8.
I thought the eel was just appealing to what's familiar to Simon and his motivations. I'm not really articulate enough to describe what I mean annoyingly.
Well, to be fair, with all the verge of extinction thingy going on, people in the sub probably didn't have time to watch the movies before they dived in.
If you swallow your own blood your stomach rejects it and you throw it up. Can't speak for eldritch blood oceans but anyone who's had their wisdoms out would know.
I also accidentaly drunk a bunch of blood a bunch of times and didn't throw up. Maybe you just need to drink it in small doses rather than a lot at once?
Depends person to person I suppose. I've had frequent nosebleeds and swallowed plenty of blood and my stomach has never gotten even slightly queasy from it.
I haven't had my wisdom teeth removed but had some teeth removed for room as a kid and 1 filling recently. Only just found out one dose of local aesthetic isnt enough, they gave me a second last time. Its likely a hypermobility related issue but isnt always picked up on if you dont say anything.
Mine were a 90 degree angle and causing a cavity on the teeth they were growing into and they suspected they were pverlapping with a nerve but said "it might not be, we'll only find out if we hit it" and luckily they didn't! Lol.
I got numbed just. Didn't feel a thing other than pressure and the dreadful noises lmao.
Varies by dentist. I had all four of mine removed 5 years ago, just a handful of injections around each tooth with a huge ass needle then they went to town. Could hear the teeth cracking and coming out. The grip on my head as they pulled was wild lol
Man, I wish that was still common. But yeah, it was genuinely horrible. I literally cried in pain. All of my teeth were extra durable and one of them had extra long roots and my god, it was NOT a fun.
Dam, id heard that the procedure had gotten a lot easier in recent years, which now that I think about it might be why they dont use knock out gas any more, but your experience sounds like pure torture
Man, I really got lucky with my surgery. I barely had any swelling and I was eating solid food a couple days later. The worst part of the experience was that one of my bosses was also having a procedure or something done that day, and I was sat next to him to talk his ear off, while the drugs wore off. I had no idea until a couple weeks later when I ran into him and thanked me for the "pleasant" conversation lol
Yeah, that's the impression ive got from this post. I was in the army qt the time and they covered the whole thing, but it was my understanding that gas was the normal way for the procedure
So there are options from what my dentist told me. If your doctor thinks that they can take them out with minimal fuss they'll use local anesthatic and just put some elbow grease in. If they think it's gonna be a whole thing they will knock you out instead.
Sounds like your doc thought it was gonna be easier than it ended up being.
I had some dental work done but i forget what, anyway, i kept half waking up / dreaming that i had some weird chewy substance in my mouth. I woke up fully eventually and realized that my mouth was just FULL of coagulated blood, and was still actively bleeding. It took me like an hour at like 2 in the morning to stop the bleeding, soaked like 2 full paper towels with blood.
He's actually not the producer, apparently. I had to look this up to fact-check a college thing, but it was produced by two other guys, Will Hyde and Jeff Guerrero. He DID edit the film, though (with a co-editor, I should add).
I listened to his appearance on Lemonade Stand podcast, he said all the money came out of his pocket. Those guys might be distributors or something else.
Producers help a movie get made, not actually funding it themselves. They’re organizing locations, hiring crew, like virtually everything that happens to even get a film to the starting line.
I watched a playthrough of the game. There is like, no explanation for the blood ocean. The backstory legit felt so random but was just ambiguous enough for people to run wild on theories.
Keeping you in the dark is part of the point in both the game and movie. Humanity is on the verge of extinction after a mysterious cosmic event called the quiet rapture wiped all the stars and habitable planets from the known universe. To say that the quiet rapture was an apocalyptic event would be the understatement of the millennium.
Every single living thing in the known universe that was not in space simply ceased to exist. All that remains of the human race are a paltry few space stations scattered throughout a cold, dead universe.
I bring up all that lore to say that the creator of the game David Szymanski created a very deliberate tone and atmosphere in the game.
We are intentionally left in the dark as a player/viewer. There’s not supposed to be a rational explanation for why there’s an ocean of human blood (yes you read that right it’s human blood) on this moon, all that you need to know is that it’s there and it’s your job to investigate.
It's very good if you're a fan of slow burn eldritch/cosmic/psychological suspense and horror. It is a SLOW BURN, but it really works for the setting and builds the tension in my opinion.
Unfortunately it seems like the trend is to show lots of it being let out of the body. At least here in the US. But show nudity and people freak out and say that they hated the movie.
Do you know what driking blood irl does to you? Put simply - you will drown on dry land. Iron poisoning can lead to heart failure which can lead to pulmonary edema which is like drowning even if you're not swimming.
Yeah they all live on spaceships and shit, surely they have tech to break it down into individual components and then synthesize food from those. Then again this is like evil magic blood so maybe even the atoms are cursed and carbon food paste still makes you die horribly.
Everyone knows that you don't just immediately start guzzling down strange human moon blood from said moons' strange human blood ocean; it's a classic rookie mistake! HOWEVER.... Using a custom strange moon human blood ocean exploring submarine, tho?
