Hey there! I'm Reddrik. (It's like "rhetoric," but spelled phonetically.)
I have a passion for the humanities. However, it does no good for academics to remain behind the walls of dusty, old textbooks - The most important ideas in the world can be investigated through our visual media. Art imitates life, after all. I am here to break down your favorite films and shows, offer some fresh perspectives, and make some jokes along the way.
All my content, and the views expressed in my content, are entirely my own ORIGINAL work. I research, write, record, and edit them myself.
Sometimes serious video essays, sometimes more lighthearted. Due to the typical length of my videos and the extensive research that goes into each, you can expect to see a video once a month bare minimum, but USUALLY more.

An Anime-Only's Thoughts on The Ending
Attack on Titan both hit and missed for me.
I'm sure you can tell, this was a very low-effort video. I'm reserving my time and efforts for the analysis stuff, I didn't want to sink too much into a "my initial thoughts on the Attack on Titan Finale" video because who cares about some guy's opinion?
Better stuff to come.

IF YOU KINDLY WISH TO SUPPORT MY CONTENT: ko-fi.com/reddrik HBO's "The Last of Us" episode 3 broke me. Bill and Frank broke me. This magnum opus has sent me spiraling. There is a lot going on beneath the surface of "Long, Long Time," so I've analyzed it and made a prediction for where I think the series is headed. Masculinity has become a rejuvenated academic study lately. Cross-referencing cha...
THE LAST OF US Abridged Recap | EPISODE 2 ANALYSIS
Просмотров 409Год назад
HBO Max's "The Last of Us" Episode 2 is here. I'm ready to make fun of it and then be really deep and analytical about it. Something, something, the duality of man. Kind of a meme, kind of a deep-dive. As we see the relationship between Joel and Ellie shifting in "Infected," I think we're already afforded some conclusions to questions the pilot episode proposed. Also, the mycology professor has...

I thought it would be fun to recap and review HBO Max's new "The Last of Us" episodes from the perspective of someone who knows absolutely nothing about The Last of Us games. In this installation, I go over the pilot, “When You’re Lost in The Darkness” with some hehe’s and haha’s, and end the video with some hmm’s. This is my first attempt at this flavor of content, and I’d love to know what yo...
The Thin Line Between Stand-Up Comedy and Drama

I like stand-up and I like films, so here's a video about them. There has been a resurgence of interest in stand-up comedy. Between Andrew Schulz’ “Infamous,” and Bert Kreischer’s trailer for “The Machine,” the genre is flourishing this month. However, as stand-up comedy makes its way back to the main stage of Western culture, it’s important we discuss the role it plays and how it sizes up agai...

What IS freedom? IF YOU WISH TO KINDLY SUPPORT MY CONTENT: ko-fi.com/reddrik As Attack on Titan makes its way into the latter half of season 4, right now is the perfect time to revisit some fundamental ideas behind the series and how they’ve evolved over time.

The Secret Psychology of Attack on Titan | ANALYSIS
Просмотров 40 тыс.4 года назад
As "Attack on Titan", "Shingeki no Kyojin" season 4 begins to roll out, I wanted to explore some some dark, sinister ideas Hajime Isayama laced throughout the story starting all the way back with season 1. With substantial psychological influences from Sigmund Freud, Erich Fromm, and Carl Jung, "Attack on Titan's" genius knows no bounds, and I'm hoping to open a dialogue on said sentiments. I'm...
Freedom means that other people get to do things you dont like. If your definition doesnt encompass that, it isnt freedom
Brilliant. ❤
Yeah on rewatch I fully forgot connie and jean turned geek
0:22 Ahh, Abraham Lincoln. That great and legendary giant monkey...
*thatwasreallyfunny*
Does anyone know where this clip originally came from 19:48
My favorite cerikter is jean
Ahh yes the plot armor Titan.
Every time I hear the im the one who knocks scene i always say the line together with walter, and everytime i do, theres this sudden jolt of pain i feel in my nape, like a sing nerve is being pinched.
Its amazing how this 19 year old mastered Greek mythology and Jung and Bly and a dozen others to the point he could subtly implement them all into his comic book.

Thank you and to you and everyone else, keep going.
This is truly an amazing analysis. Well done ☝️
Genuis video
Good analysis video but with quite a few references to the occult and insights derived thereof. I'd highly suggest you look up Michael Witcoff's materials (his RUclips channel, if still around, is Brother Augustine).
This is the best aot analysis I've ever watched
I think Jean's development got ignored a little in the final battle, but I guess that's what it means to be a side character, the focus was entirely on the main trio.
I agree that Reiner tried to become Marcel, but I don't agree that he was ever emotionless. At least there are certain moments where to me he shows some kind of extreme emotion be it fear, anger or some kind of mixture
Marcel was anything but kind and compassionate. He used Reiner to save his brother lol. Say less.
the scenes you pulled from in each instance as your words in a sentence shift is amazing and shows your love for the show!!!
Levi analysis when?
You still do analysis videos?
wow i never noticed how jean followed the traditional hero's journey, my fav character fr
At 26:09 , the man who sought judgement reminds me of the Nick Nolte character in Mother Night.
At 8:10 , the Marie-Louise Von Franz quote reminds of the song by Devotchka, "How It Ends". I never saw the Jean back story, but now I see Marco as the father figure Jean never had. Marco would have been a great father figure to anyone. Just look at the way he expressed his faith in Jean.
This is possibly the best analysis of Reiner I’ve seen thus far - it’s very refreshing to see someone talk about his mental ill health without immediately labelling him with DID/OSDD.
I think you might enjoy dorehedoro or chainsawman if you like AoT but not most anime
Looking forward to your last thoughts on the series
@reddrik when’s the Floch vid coming? I’m coping like you were when you were waiting for the dub
I like everyone surviving and getting lucky breaks in the finale. AOT has already hammered the points of brutality and death throughout the story. Does it need to repeat that point past ad nauseum? We get it already. They do not die in the end, I think, because Isayama is not trying to communicate a nihilistic meaning. For me, that highlighting of 'not edgy nihilism' makes the finale stronger.
10/10 my friend! Great philosophical take and I love how you showed Breaking Bad. These are my top 2 shows
Would you consider watching Vinland saga?
Jean is what makes AOT great and relatable
Read One Piece Read ChainsawMan Read JJK READ RAGNAROK Even Read Jojos Maybe you'll actually come away with something that isn't a cringe as this
Yeah it felt a lot more like you just spouted for 25 minutes that "erm actuall everyone is a slave" and don't know that were all going to die. Who gives a fuck? What difference does it make that were all fated to die? pls stfu and read One Piece because All I heard was you quoting a bunch of depressed white people, repeating the same thing for 25 minutes and not even explaining why their way of thinking even matters. for the love of Nika shut the fuck up and watch One Piece and learn from that instead of being satisfied with telling us Armin a slave but thats okay because hes satisfied with ehats in front of him. Cringe ass shit fucking embarrassing that's this is all you can come away with. Do yourself a favor and read One Piece and then switch the main characters for each other in eachothers story, then you might have something interesting to say. This whole essay reeks of a Eurocentric perspective of thought, glazing the fuck out of whatever your depressed daddies say the world is. You compared Armin to the Christan line "be like children" and you equate that to freedom despite how the christan perspective and practices applies to children. The bible asks you to obey and listen to your parents and authority, it has nothing to do with the idea of a child's inate liberty. You don't know how you sound Read One Piece and learn about Anarchism ALL you said is "we're all slaves" so then if we're all slaves why even mention it? who gives a fuck? it's a unchangeable reality apparently so why do you give a fuck if people know it or not? Why the fuck did you make this video what did you change? Fucking infuriating that I sat through this entire thing thats all you could see and then somehow thought it was worth sharing, "Erm ahhh were actually all slaves, but thats okay as long as your satisfied" READ ONE PIECE YOU PATHETIC FUCK
wtf happened to you?
Jean is amazing he annoyed me first time
Eren killed his mom bcs grisha opposing him,and if he didnt give eren founding titan to eren paradise is doomed
Time for me to watch AOT
He can call me mommy 😊
how i see him has not been changed (i already love him you cant increase effects that have already been maxed out)
One must balance. Theres nothing wrong with enjoying little pleasures and enjoying ones entertainments. But when you can not prioritize what you must you fail. Too many people act like its childish to watch anime and play games. Many think its idiotic to ever talk smack about such things. But one must fight the titans and having some nice bread as a reward after a successful mission
This video has changed me over time.Genuinely Thank you so much.
I think you might have mixed up certain psychological traits, what Jean faces is what Jung called the shadow something Eren faced as well, the subconscious darkness within, Jean's act of covering his ears symbolizes his internal struggle and confrontation with his fears and insecurities, akin to Jung’s concept of the shadow. By facing these situations and still performing his duties, Jean undergoes individuation, integrating these difficult aspects into his conscious self. This integration is crucial for his psychological growth, as he learns to act despite his fears, showing a maturation of character. I don’t know about the mother complex thing but I guess I learned something, then philosophically speaking he is subject to isayamas initial moral argument which is Arthur Schopenhauers philosophy of “the will to live” Jean’s actions, even when he finds it hard to process situations, illustrate the overpowering nature of the will to live. By covering his ears, Jean symbolically attempts to shut out the overwhelming reality and his internal conflict, yet he continues to act. This duality highlights the tension between his personal desires (for safety and comfort) and the compulsion to survive and protect others. Despite his reluctance, he is driven by an innate force that propels him to fulfill his role within the Survey Corps, embodying Schopenhauer’s notion of being a slave to the will to live, same thing happens to Eren and the rest of the corp members, Erwin being an amazing example
Jean's character feels so real to me. Like him, I was pampered by my mom, but then had to face the world and make the right choices to overcome my cowardice. His growth in thinking is what makes him amazing. Love your videos! Keep up the amazing work!
Freedom is being able to rizz up my gyatt
Dude you GOAT❤
I watched this video few months before the last episode of AOT. And for this reason I completely understood the the conversation of Armin with both zeke and Eren and the symbol of freedom as a sea shell. You were right, Armin is the answer to eren's idea of freedom.
If he doesn't do the rumbling, Paradis WILL be destroyed. In the alternate ending it was properly established. So in that sense, Eren had no choice but to do the rumbling as that's the only way forward, destroy the rest of the world and save paradise. However, does Eren himself want to do the rumbling? Yes he does because the world is cruel, he was also disappointed with the world, hence he did it. But in saying this, if he could have done it differently to get an outcome, he would have. That's why he continued the rumbling, even after Zeke died. He saw the future after he fully activated the rumbling (not before because going in he just wanted to do it) that the only way the Titan curse can end is if Eren dies at the hands of Mikasa, and everything must happen exactly as it did for her to kill him, he ran different simulations but only 20% would survive no matter how he tries. In other words, as a founder, if he could have seen a different outcome after becoming a Founding Titan, he would have done so, but the only outcome is kill 80% die by Mikasa hand, End Titan curse, because That's the only way Ymir become strong enough to break her bond with The late King. Summary 1)Eren had to do the rumbling. 2)Eren wanted to do the rumbling. 3)Eren plan to kill 100% of people outside the walls 4)When Eren got full power, he discovered that killing 80% and dying in the hands of Mikasa will end all Titan curse (he didn't know that before going in) he tried to see if he could kill less people, but he couldn't. 5) Eren killed his mom because of what he saw as founder, that everything must be as it is. No changing.
Eren Kill his mom so grisha will give founding titan to eren,bcs grisha opposing eren plan and even begging to zeke to stop eren
Why didn't eren do more with that power why just do that @@Thundeclap
lol bro is afraid to say Reiner with the hard R
@@wiiztec LOL
