Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?
some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."

ahaha you sly dog! you bastard! [getting a little too comfortable] you wretched fucking animal
imagine if you were the angriest, most passionate hater in the universe, and you died(?) and a pagan god-like figure (that you've been worshipping) who is hellbent on revenge possessed your body, but the process of possessing you gave her amnesia, and some really nice people who love you took care of her, so instead of being fueled by revenge she was fueled by love. then she grows out your hair in a sacrilegious way because she thinks you look hotter like that
I get real "I'm at soup" vibes from some media crit
I love the random replacements for clichés writers insert in science fiction shows. like when a 21st-century human would say "stop pacing you'll wear a hole in the floor" but in a space show the alien/future human says "you're oscillating like a Betelgeusian night badger" or some shit. like fuck yeah he is. amazing drive-by worldbuilding. I'm gonna spend the next half hour wondering why the Betelgeusian night badger evolved to do that
You can use any travel method you like, walking, public transport, so on. You can get an uber but their map has failed so you'll have to give directions. You can travel to other countries and count those libraries but you have to be able to completely navigate from your home without assistance. So you can catch a plane but must be able to travel to and from the airport. No limit on how long it takes. If you know which block it's on or which tram line but aren't sure precisely, but you feel sure you'd find it once you got there, count that as a yes (if you're not sure maybe google it now and see if your plan would work). You cannot rely on asking for directions though, this must be all your knowledge

Listen. I get that he was in the wrong for “turning those cows inside out” and “eating the entire solar system” but John Gaius was so real for having apocalyptic levels of rage towards trillionaires. He’s really just like us. Rip John Gaius you would have loved killing the entire human race to make Elon Musk face consequences of his actions 💕
