im predicting this now, you're gonna blow up. Just found you today through "teen wolf video" and Im blown away by the editing, commentary, and script for such a chaotic show. Good luck, I think anyone who has been blessed enough to view your channel would agree.
god this made me so nostalgic for those early 2 seasons. i love how much you talked about the humanity of them and how that was the driving force because that's exactly what i loved about them. if you want a similar, but vastly different lmao, show about zombies and what it means to be human, in the flesh is a really great one. to me a zombie apocalypse isnt interesting because of what cool ways we can kill zombies or the horror or dying to one or becoming one but in how society has to continue despite all the is going on. how 10 year olds have to learn how to drive or crushes still happen. how humans stay human and do those stupid human things despite the fact that there is so much shit. ugh loved this video and its a shame more people havent seen it yet. you're gonna blow up and i cant wait for more people to see it!!
Your commentary on TWD is like a breath of fresh air! I also have a soft spot for the first 2 seasons and prefer watching the characters inner struggles with trying to hold onto remnants of their humanity/past life over the whole "humans are the real monsters" message they start to push once the Governor is introduced. It got to a point where it felt like the show was constantly trying to one-up itself in showing how outlandishly evil people could be and how brutally the main cast could kill them.
just dropping in to say this video is great!! twd is a show i have a complex rship with but that rship is at its most uncomplicated with season two, i think. i could rewatch s2 until the cows come home. the humanity of it all, the layered social dynamics, shane absolutely unraveling.. idk, it all just hits so right for me. it works! it always gives me something new to think about with every viewing too. and i absolutely agree with you re: the scene where rick finds out lori was going to take the pills. idk how anyone could legitimately read that as an anti-abortion take like…… the whole season is about making meaning out of chaos and trying to find a life in a world literally consumed by death (among other things, obviously). for rick the idea of a baby is a new part of finding that meaning; for lori it’s deeply frightening b/c she’s seen what this world has done to the child she already has. it’s a really interesting friction between the two characters’ differing outlooks on life. it’s just blatant media incomprehension to say it’s an anti-abortion statement. anyway, i just think both rick and lori are really fascinating characters and i love following their inner stories and thinking about how they both view the world. thank you for putting the effort into making this video! it was a really interesting watch. it revealed some new angles on concepts i’d already considered while watching, which i’ll definitely be taking into my next rewatch of these seasons. (the identity stuff in particular! i particularly enjoyed the bit about the difference between glenn+rick’s disguise as walkers and daryl+shane’s embodiment of walkers.)
i haven't watched the walking dead, but i really enjoyed this video. i'm mostly leaving this comment to help the algorithm, because it should be illegal for a video this good to have so little views
haven't watched any walking dead in my life but this video (and the teen wolf video too, I also did not watch that show) was so amazing and i do not understand how you only have 964 subs so i will have to do something about that and bring you up to 965, honestly cant believe you're even under 1000 right now man your stuff is amazing despite how few things you have out right now
Shout out to Teen Wolf being such an absurd show that led to me watching Jane Mulcahy's multihour retrospective, who recommend your multihour retropective. And you have one on TWD. You need like 50k more subs, minimum.
Knowing what we know now, I don’t know if seeing a deer was super worth it. 🤷♀️ In seriousness, fantastic video! You’ve hit on so many great points and your references are great, too. Thanks for your work!
looovveee this video !! your analysis is so impassioned and it really shows how much you care for the characters and how they are shown to the world. it definitely made me emotional and now i want to rewatch the series again 😭 i’m excited to see what other video essays you put out !!
Very interesting commentary. Especially with the context of it being post 9/11. As a Gen Z person born in 2000 I never really thought of the world being different after 9/11. I was a little over a year old when it happened so I don't remember what the world was like before 9/11 so mu outlook is different then those who grew up before 9/11. I also have a history with this franchise (I found the comic at Walmart in Spring Break 2012 when I was 11 and never really knew the snow existed until the comic. Which I can talk about 2012 and how influential of a year that was on me as a person but that's a whole other thing not related to this discussion
I'm sorry that I'm leaving this comment withouht having finished the video but I Have to get this out of me or I'm gonna explode. I'm currently paused at 39:10 right after the whole "men and women are different but equally important" spiel and it reminded me of a converation we had in school a while ago. We'd been studing some different feministic viewpoints and were discussing them in smaller groups and the idea of women and men being equal in worth but built for different types of work was something most of the other people in my group agreed on, in most part because of the lack of women in male-dominated fields and the idea that back-in-the-day men were the hunters and women were the gatherers. And this whole idea is based on false "science". Recent research shows that in many hunter-gatherer societies there was about a 50/50 (give or take) ratio of women and men between the groups. We're learning that a lot of the great men of history that were considered leaders and hunters were actually women thanks to improvements in DNA research. The only reasons we thought they were men was because of the influence the patriarchy has had on the way we view men and women. And the reasons women aren't working more in male dominated fields isn't because they're "not physically strong enough bc science", it's because we still live in a sexist society. The cultural idea that those are male jobs influences how women going into the work force view their options, and how employers think before hiring new workers. Not to mention the dangers of going into male dominated fields as a woman. Being the only girl in a room full of men can be terrifying, especially with the culture they perpatuate amongst themselves. There are so many reasons for the gender based divide in the job market, but none of them are based on "science", they're because we live in a society based on sexist ideas. Now, exploring how those ideal would carry over in a scenario like the walking dead is an interesting concept since we as people likely wouldn't be able to just loose the mindset that's been drilled into our head since birth, but when the exploration of gender-dynamics inpost-apocalyptic settings is based on the idea that women and men just naturally fall into certain roles because "biology says so" diludes that exploration of how humans work around gender. It just boils down this super interesting concept that has a lot of complicated history behind it to "gender roles are science, actually" when they're so much more coplex than that. Anyway like I said I haven't watched the whole video yet, this mindset just grinds my gears. Loving the video so far btw! Edit: kay i literally just left this comment but i just have to say that i really like your take on the scene about plan B. I don't know, nor do I care, what the intent behind it is, but the fact that is Can be read as more than just "how dare you try to abort ma baby u crazy bitch" shows that despite the shows gender-essentialist views they still manage to write the different characters with care and depth. I think it's worth exploring the reality of abortion on these smaller scales, because it IS a complicated issue. So I'm kinda glad that they're not turning that particular situation into pro vs anti choice. Those movements are about womens right to bodily autonomy under the law and societal ideals, but the choice to abort or keep a baby is often going to be complicated on the smaller scale. idk if this made a lot of sense but yeh
Video: "What was the origin of the zombie ?" Me: "racism" 🤣 Video: "this colonizer's very white view of something framed as a danger to whiteness" Me: *_*sigh_** doesn't even work as an absurd joke anymore

Found you because of the teen wolf video and LOOOVE your style! Can't wait for all the content you put out in the future!

In seriousness, fantastic video! You’ve hit on so many great points and your references are great, too. Thanks for your work!
Voudou originated in the ancient kingdom of Dahomey c.1600. It predated the slave trade.

This deserves more views🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊
you sound so much like adam scott
On the fence about you.
Video: "What was the origin of the zombie ?"
Me: "racism" 🤣
Video: "this colonizer's very white view of something framed as a danger to whiteness"
Me: *_*sigh_** doesn't even work as an absurd joke anymore
👍
