I like how you also make Mrs Kim a better person. I don’t find Mrs Kim’s treatment of lane on the show cute or quirky. In fact I found it abusive at times
My question is…why did Palladino HATE Lane? Lol
I wonder about this myself, because something’s up
Im glad you kept Gil lol
Love Gil, he’s great haha
THIS IS SO GOOD
Thank you! ☺️
It's his sled 🛷
this video was confusing there was so much going on maybe its just me but your voice doesn't stand out from the background music and its distracting, good analysis tho
Henry would have been really good too. Both are so much better than the way it turned out.
Agree 100%
I Love this! And i agree with a comment that was posted, that though we all hate when they change actors and we Love the original Dave, I’d rather them swap characters and continue Dave’s relationship soooooo much better, and it would be worth it to carry on this version you’ve created!!!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment ☺️ I really wonder why they didn’t recast Dave, but I guess we’ll never know
The editing and plotting is so good
Thank you so much! ☺️
This is amazing!! Keep up the good work!! the editing was so fun to watch.
I really appreciate that, thank you! ☺️
I would loveee to see this. you came up with such an interesting storyline that's still true to the essence of the original series. i would love to see this play out in the current age and what type of shenanigans would ensue. seriously great work also with the editing (pleasee consider doing a part two)
Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed it 💕
this is crazy editing wow
Thank you! Making this took me an absolute age, but I’m glad I got there in the end😊
I started crying when Mrs. Kim frantically reached out to Lane with the band she missed reviewing, a schedule of bands she should see, and ideas for publications to reach out to. Just started crying and couldn’t stop😭😭😭😭😂 Your Lane and Dave rewrite will forever be canon for me now and I honestly care less if she married her high school bf than that she actually got a job in the industry. It also creates a really really interesting parallel with Rory’s pursuit of journalism-it adds a new dimension to their friendship and would have sparked so many discussions about how they are/not similar as journalists, different reasons to pursue a career, and different ways to go about it. It would have added this whole new dimension to “female role model for girls,” which is so much of what the show felt like to a lot of us, at least until whenever Rory went off the rails. Like: it’s awesome if you love books and go to Yale but you don’t have to (and you don’t even have to have your first choice career) to *do something* and have an awesome life. I think the problem would have been writing your version so Lane was *willing* to get an actual job in the industry, since her initial attitude was kind of purist/go for broke/play or nothing. Anyway, thanks for this. It was the catharsis I didn’t know I needed. Justice for Lane! AND Mrs. Kim!
Oh no, not tears 😂 i never anticipated that response but thank you so much for your comment and taking the time to watch the video. You bring up a very good point about rory and lane comparing careers if they had both pursued journalism. If the show was interested in such discussions, we could have explored race and how that intersects with this too. So true, Lane is such a purist about the starving artist thing. Maybe she could try that initially then evolve into realising making an actual living isn’t selling out. Again thank you for the comment 💕
People focus on Dave and rightfully so but I LOVE the idea of her and Henry running into each other again at some point!
It would have been such a cute storyline! And easy to write (assuming the actor who plays Henry was still available)
omg i’m SO happy your video appeared on my feed, loved your alternatives for Lane, the first one with Dave was my favorite and now that’ll be how it ended for her on my mind, THANK YOU, this was HEALING 😭😭🙏🩵🩵✨
Thank you so much! You’re very kind. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. 💕
i love your editing and this video!! justice for lane fr. i refuse to go along with the shitty ending the writers gave her
Haha, thank you so much 🥰
The carrying cactus part is realistic as you can bring plants through tsa
Interesting, I wasn’t aware of that. Thank you for letting me know. Holding a prickly plant for that long still seems silly but it’s good to know it’s not logistically impossible
this is such a fantastic video! i really want to point out the editing - the sound effects and visuals are so simple and charming but i can tell you put a lot of thought into it!! and the storyline you wrote for lane and dave is so lovely, i feel like it filled a gap in my heart that was left bc of lane's treatment in canon
Thank you so much! You’re very kind and I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment 😊
Lane & Dave was perfect for each other imo & the writers did Lane so dirty & hated how they did her (i dont really like zach either). This might be off topic maybe not but I also don't like how once a character did the deed they immediately get punished for it in some way besides Rory (which i just now noticed that Rory didn't have anything wrong when she did what i mean by that is when Lane had s3x immediately got pregnant same with Sookie, Paris didn't get accepted into college after she did it & thinking that's the reason she didn't get it which isn't the case). I don't want Lane to be together period so im not for that storyline.
That’s a very interesting point and something I definitely didn’t notice when watching it but you make a good point. There is that odd pattern. I think that whole topic could have been approach with way more care. The rationale with Lane will always elude me
i relate to the feeling of insecurity and thinking there is a right way to watch movies. being on the film analysis side of youtube and having letterboxd catalyses that feeling for sure. similarly to you i decided it’s okay to not see what other people see in art in general. it’s okay and only natural for everyone to be impacted differently. it makes me appreciate others takes that much more. when it comes to past lives i am in the camp of people who didn’t really get much out of it. i wasn‘t moved by nora and haesung‘s relationship whatsoever. i wasn’t convinced there was anything special between them. i felt a lack of depth in their shared experiences. arthur as a character also rubbed me the wrong way. he is married to nora for i don’t know how many years and yet it seemed like her meeting haesung was the first time arthur thought about her diasporic identity? there were many projections on her. arthur wanting to be enriched by her perspective shaped by her korean-american identity feels almost exploitative? he doesn’t want to know about her experience for the sake of knowing her but to make use out of it? it most definitely read as self-serving to me too. but i have yet to put what exactly makes him icky to me into words… thanks for another great video with your nuanced insights and beautiful editing 🌷
Thank you for your thoughtful comments on film analysis/ interpretation. Thanks also for taking the time to share your thoughts on Past Lives! It’s interesting, in the time between recording this audio and posting the video (it takes me a hot minute to animate these videos), I can see how you didn’t get a sense of romance between them. I admit in the video, it all feels very slight and that can definitely read as nothing between them. Perhaps I am even projecting that the time they spent video calling had any romantic inclinations. I also appreciate at least one other person feels similarly about Arthur 😅 that was the part I was most concerned about. I know a lot of people talk about how sympathetic Arthur is written and I’m like… he’s a stand in for the director’s husband so of course she didn’t paint him as a monster. Of course she lends his character grace. This thought came to me after I had made most of the video. I wish I had included it. Thank you for your kind words, I genuinely appreciate it 😊
I love, love, love this editing ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
Any rewrite is better than the original. For more rewrites 🎉🎉🎉 Edit: Your rewrites are very well put together, by the way 🌟🌟
Thank you so much 💕
After seeing Rory story ending in the time jump, the show loves to push the theme of full circle and repeating cycles. So, I wonder if they chose that for Lane lamely.
It’s very possible that was their thinking. I don’t think it worked but I see what they were going for…I guess
@@callmecandid1 Oh I don’t think the attempt with Rory was well done either. I think it is an uncreative small town trope.
Yeah, I didn’t love the way the revival season ended for Rory either. Felt like a very deflated way to end things
I'm wondering if the actor who played Dave is disappointed or if he feels guilty for what happened to Lane bcs of his leaving 😂
I’d be surprised if he was. I’m sure he was way more preoccupied with his role on The OC because it was a much bigger commitment
its not even that i dont like zack its just that hes soooo plain and unambitious.
It really is the lack of ambition and personality for me
Imo, the show has a bias towards the small town life or Stars Hollow in particular. That's why Rory ends up back there in the revival and is the real reason why Lane couldn't leave. The writers seem to want to show that sure, you could dream big and have ideals, but you're probably going to end up right where you started. Or maybe that's just my pessimistic read on the narrative.
It would be curious to hear the writers discuss their thoughts on small town living. I can definitely see how they have a bias towards it. Or maybe, like many viewers of the show, they love what Stars Hollow represents - cute small walkable cosy town with a real sense of community.
they did her so dirty in every sense, like we all know zach and her don´t match at all... but at least they could´ve made a deeper slowburn connection to makes us at little bit more convinced on them or something. she should have either be single thriving within life with dreams and so , reconnected with henry cho or keep dave rygalski character bur recasting it .
Completely agree. And like you said a Zach storyline which was better fleshed out would have been way more satisfying. They might even have found a way to convince us that Zack actually is a good option - that would have been impressive
Def agree with this besides the slow burn for Zach I would rather her be with anyone else besides him
I feel like what they did to lane is exactly what they ended up doing to sookie , get em married n prego , n appear whenever Lorelei's n rory's arc needs them to , of if they a need short episode side story
I hadn’t thought about the parallels before but that’s a good point. They did both being pushed to the side after they got married and pregnant
Haven't thought about it like that but it's so true tho
If Dave couldn't come back I wish Lane had ended up with Brian instead. They had much better chemistry and he was so sweet to her
A Brian storyline would have been really interesting. He seemed like a nine character, shame he was never better utilised
It will forever upset me that they didn’t just recast Dave. Adam Brody is adorable and was perfect for the role, but there are plenty of adorkable dudes out there who could have been cast for the role. Stubbornly sticking to Adam and then destroying the OG vision for his character was dumb as hell.
Yeah recasting seemed like the easiest way to go and yet… i really wonder why they didn’t do that. It bothers em too
THIS WAS SO COOL! From the concept to the execution, you did it flawlessly. Thank you <3 I would really want a "Why is Logan the best boyfriend" video, if that is possible someday :)
Thank you so much! This is one I’m very proud of. I really appreciate your kind words. I do talk about logan as rory’s best boyfriend on patreon (shameless plug 😅) but obviously not everyone wants paywalled content, which I understand. I hadn’t thought of discussing logan as the best boyfriend on the main channel but if I think of an interesting angle, I’ll definitely get to work on it! 💕
Your editing is fantastic! Great video. 🙂 I also like your alternative ending. It gives a more inspirational story to Lane.
Thank you very much! 😊
I love all three storylines for Lane here. I really wish she and Dave would’ve ended up together. Hated her and Zach together. Hated the pregnancy immediately after their first time. I know with Dave it would’ve been better for both of them.
100% agree. Thanks for watching! Really glad you liked it 😊
Same
Your Dave storyline>>>
This is SO much better I want a reshoot!
Thank you! If only it was possible
I found the costume choices for Lane especially later in the series awful! Same awful sweaters. She’s supposed to be a rocker. Just doesn’t fit.
Hahah yeah she had some odd wardrobe choices 😂 I think at one point they tried to give her clothes more ‘edge’ but they didn’t really commit to it
I miss Dave so much
So do I
The storyline with zack made no sense at all, but i really liked the way her relationship with her mom developed through out the process with her getting married and pregnant. It was so interesting to see how her mom also hides her life from her own mom who is buddhist. I liked how mrs kim tries to support lane throughout the pregnancy and after and i thought it was interesting how figuring out how to be a mom, lane kind of gets closer tu her mom and we can see how much she appreciates her. Eventhough she wants to raise her children differntly, she realises that her mom made a lot of sacrifices for her and wants to do the same thing
Yes I also really liked that development. Mrs kim helping the band organise that church tour was cute and helping lane, brian and zack organise themselves in the apartment when they first moved in. Seeing that relationship grow was and watching them find a middle ground was great. Also Mrs Kim being raised Buddhist was such an interesting and surprising additional detail. That’s why I wanted more stuff like that! If only…
@@callmecandid1 yes they should really have given lane more screen time:/
Your animations for this audio are just soooooo goooood 😮😮😮😮
Thank you so much! 😊
As a key friend of Rory's growing up they should have integrated her more into the plot later in the show, it feels like they forgot about her. In the end I think Lane was more respectable than Rory anyway considering how she turned out and the more Rory socialised with Logan and more upper class crowds the more I felt she lost touch with her roots in Stars Hollow, which is probably why their friendship didn't develop much further
I completely agree, as the show went on, Lane should have taken on more compelling storylines and her friendship with Rory should have been deepened. Rory definitely lost touch and ended up making the same mistake she made in her twenties. Sadly no real growth on that front
But the entire point of the show is “where you lead I will follow.” That the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Lane’s story is a mother-daughter story. Just like Lorelei and Rory.
True that is a big part of the show. I only ever really saw that applying to Rory and Lorelai but Lane and her mother have that dynamic too by the end. I guess the ideas I suggest in the video would be a way of subverting that line, ‘where you lead i will follow.’ There are valuable things mrs kim learns and gains from taking Lane’s lead and letting her own person, after years of trying to lead Lane with so many strict rules. Also, in truth, I always took that line in the song to mean Lorelai would always be there for Rory. Wherever Rory goes, she’d never be far behind. No matter what.
This is wonderful! Instant sub
Thank you! 😊
I doubt Lane would have been a young mom.
Lane being a young mum felt like a strange storyline while watching, but I guess there’s a way it could have worked better than the way the writers approached it
This video is amazing! Love the graphics! Love the alternative storyline with Dave!! Well done!!!
Thank you so much! 💕
Oh my God I absolutely adore this. Why wasn’t this real?
Thank you so much! I wish the show had panned out something like this too
I honestly think Lane could’ve been single and travelled around as a substitute drummer until she does something else. I like the idea of the blog or her being in artist development. I think once Dave left the show that was a perfect time to have Lane go and explore the world and grow as a person outside of a romantic relationship or her relationship with her mom. She deserved to live her rock and roll dreams outside stars hollow.
That’s a great point, I forgot musicians can tour with other bands as a substitute. It would have been good if Lane had travelled and found herself in the process. An independent Lane Kim would have been really fun to watch
@@callmecandid1I really think she deserved to be the free spirit she was obviously destined to be! It really seemed like she only married Zach to have sex “guilt free” but the writers could’ve either had her move past that or do sex like things (not penetration) and realize she and Zach weren’t compatible and she moves on! Also it was unfair that she only had sex once (we don’t know if she ever did it again) and it was bad. She deserved good sex! She deserves all the good things in the world! I could even see her getting pregnant after a one night stand (or getting married) and moving back to stars hollow but she still does something in the music business. But this would years after she traveled and had all the success.
@jeilee3860 i agree, I don’t love the way they handled Lane’s relationship with intimacy. It felt one note and quite random tbh. Wish they’d taken some care exploring that especially because Mrs Kim has her own concerns with intimacy. Exploring both of their relationships with s*x would have been super interesting and humanising.
@@callmecandid1yes and yes! It seems like they only had her get married so Lorelei would be upset about her and Luke’s relationship. It didn’t feel like a natural progression of Lane’s story.
They did her sooo dirty. I was DEVISTATED when she got pregnant
Lane getting pregnant was literally the worst storyline
I’ve been saying this!! ❤
If they had to pick another love interest for Lane, Brian would have been a better choice. He was respectful to her mum, interested in her culture, considerate, wrote a song for her, and bass and drums are just a good combo. He's not an obvious pick for Lane but that only makes it more interesting. I think he was written off as a viable love interest because he's nerdy and Lane was stuck with an absolute loser when she had a great alternative right in front of her.
I agree with you completely, Brian would have been an interesting option. And i would have loved to see how they convince us to buy into their relationship. Also Brian was willing to write a song named after Lane which I always thought was cute
I'm just gonna go ahead and pretend that the: Lane + Dave living happily ever after and having successful music careers storyline really happened... I think that's what I've been doing subconsciously this whole time anyway 😅.
Haha that’s what I’m choosing to believe too
