https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbi8Jgx1CNE So, this documentary, released in 2002, is the greatest documentary of all time, especially if you are drinking. It was a kid-friendly look at animals... of the future! I thought about it because Netflix basically remade it recently as their "Alien Planets" series, but this thing is WAY better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbi8Jgx1CNE&t=2004s "like the octopus of the 21st century, the swampus has a venomous bite" You shouldn't skip ahead, because the whole thing owns, but boy you have earned the best TV that ever aired in all time, if you make it to the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbi8Jgx1CNE&t=4964s Features absolutely amazing comments from our narrator, such as "this is not fantasy, but made up by scientists".

I remember these being fun bullshit when they aired. They were loosely based on the book After Man, if this is your kind of jam. I don't think the book was quite as obsessed with celphalopods though.

It's a great documentary, but Man After Man by Dougal Dixon is so traumatizing and good as well.

Oh man, I loved these speculative documentary things back in the day. Personally I preferred Alien Planet myself, based on Wayne Barlowe's Expedition, but Future is Wild is cool too. Mycroft Holmes posted:It's a great documentary, but Man After Man by Dougal Dixon is so traumatizing and good as well. For a take on this that is simultaneously less and somehow more horrifying,  All Tomorrows: A Billion Year Chronicle of the Myriad Species and Varying Fortunes of Man by C.M. Koseman aka Nemo Ramjet is in a similar vein.

I'm sorry op but the World's Greatest Documentary is actually the yacht time travel/animal harassment crossover special effects extravaganza that is Sea Monsters: A Walking With Dinosaurs Trilogy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzYM_-1J85Y

Got this documentary as a booklet with a popular science mag way back in the day. But that one claimed all the humans were dead, and it didn't say anything about those spiders farming rats  It did have all the land octopuses though so congrats to all the experts that agree with my theory that octopuses will soon come to live on land and start posting if they haven't already.

Five millions years and what does nature do? Terror birds and baboons again. Nice, real original there.

I wish Man After Man wasn't out of print, it's super expensive and hard to find Note that the same author Dougal Dixon also wrote a book just called After Man which is easier to find, but I think it mostly focuses on crazy animals instead of bizarre human evolutions

Every time I read "Man after Man" I read it in the cadence and to the tune of "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper and it just adds to the weirdness.
