    You lost the occasion to call the video: "FatBrett - A Deconstruction of Villany" and then reveal your evil plan to rule the world at the end.

    Hey, you know what? The fact that you are owning up to accidently biting off more than you can chew is great character development. I hope to hear a sample of this in your own FatBrett Retrospective years from now.

    • @gogauze
      @gogauze 2 дня назад +3

      Very much so.
      I'm of a mind to finish a rather wild and horrific, but ultimately hopeful, semi-autobiographical novel that's set in an inpatient psychiatric facility.
      The primary theme revolves around the messy ways we rebuild meaning for ourselves, and find the will to live, after everything we've ever placed any significant value on has been lost.
      The setting is primarily a framing device for the characters, and serves to explicitly demonstrate power dynamics that are usually experienced implicitly. But, the secondary goal is to shed some not terribly sensationalized light on the institutional horrors that are hidden from, and waiting for, most people in the modern system.

    I just want to say thank you for covering Armored Core VI at all, let alone multiple videos. It is my favorite game in Fromsoft's library and now my favorite games series ever, partially thanks to you. All I ask is to keep making things you're passionate about, because I truly believe that I could listen to you go on about anything you really feel the need to say. Skål.

    @dreaminsepsis2542 2 дня назад +6

    about question number 2,
    when you said that being surrounded by people who know how to analyze stories helps you learn how to,
    i felt that, cause i noticed the analytical thinking process of these essays, and i kind of tried to internalize the thinking process here, and now i think that way very regularly.
    smart people help you become smart.

    Hey Brett, just wanted to say you are hands down my favorite creator that I discovered in 2024. The quality of your videos is absolutely a cut above the rest, I hope this continues to be an enjoyable and lucrative job for many many years. Also please let us know if/when your novel comes out. That premise sounded amazing! Also also, have you considered making a patreon or doing sponsored ad reads? The extra cash flow might make it easier to justify "riskier" video topics on less popular franchises you are passionate about

    Question: just recently watched a long playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2, found the story to be amazing. After it ended, I quickly came back to your channel hoping you covered the game but was sadly disappointed. Please tell me you will cover it in the future lol. So many deep characters to analyze. I feel like it's right up your ally. Keep up the great work!

  • @pax6833
    @pax6833 2 дня назад +5

    When your first video came out I found the rejection of death of the author combined with a well studied analysis of a good story was a breath of fresh air. Also count me as looking forward to your Slay the Princess analysis if you decide to do it.

    waaaaaaa I would've loved the Still Wakes the Deep video. After watching a playthrough of it I was really really into the story and quietly hoping this channel would cover it. Though it's perfectly understandable why it wasn't covered.

    • @SetariM

    Few questions:
    1. What advice would you give to your past self in regards to your YT channel?
    2. Is there any advice you could give to someone that doesn't real that many novels such as myself? I maybe read one or two a year and I wish I had the drive to read more
    3. Are you ever going to do an analysis of Songbird like you said you would in the Tower Ending video?
    4. What are your favorite novels and could you please recommend a few for someone who loves the CB world and characters?
    Thanks big dog. I am also jealous of your amazing vocabulary and speaking voice. You rock

  • @NikkiLayne
    @NikkiLayne 2 дня назад

    In response to Q9
    I gotta say, I personally don't care which games you cover. If I see a FatBrett video, I watch it. Aside from things I'd avoid in order to avoid spoilers, there really isn't anything I can reasonably assume you might want to talk about that I wouldn't be thrilled to hear your thoughts on.
    As long as it still feels like you're passionate about the subject, I couldn't care less what the video is about.
    Also, I would LOVE to see you do a video on Slay the Princess!

  • @MossOwnsYouYT

    "I really underestimated how much people would care about THIS." is probably a pretty accurate historical moment for anyone who has ever actually put themselves ou there creatively. Of all time.

  • @smallparents4713
    @smallparents4713 2 дня назад

    I appreciate the response! I agree that Raven Beak is one of the coolest villains in Metroid, but the Prime games definitely offer far more development for individual characters because of their wealth of logbook scans. I think RB could benefit from more development, but still stands out as an excellent villain. Especially by the standards of 2D Metroid I think he is standout for tying a bow on what was built up for so long like you said.

    I love your channel. I've seen or at the very least listened to every analysis video you have. As an aspiring writer you have helped me immensely. Just one thing. I am writing a story in which I very deliberately hide the main theme. I hide it behind simpler themes. It is my goal to write an engaging story with relatable characters that the average reader will enjoy, but hopefully only people who have suffered as I have will recognize certain elements that reveal the true meaning behind the story. Am I an asshole?

    Please do bioshock! As you know, the story is incredible with alot of deep nuances in the characters motivations and morals!

You could do multiple episodes just on the first bioshock game!

    Nebula exclusive videos could be a great place to hear your thoughts on indie games, and other media. Those videos could also be of much lower production quality.
    Nebula also has funded some larger creator projects (movies and plays), so maybe they'd be curious about other outside projects like a cosmic horror book or screenplay?

  • @Mr_JManM
    @Mr_JManM 2 дня назад

    I think you were right ducking Last of Us Part 2. I am a big supporter of keeping your creative endeavors to subjects you love, and it takes some high level mental gymnastics to arrive at a positve take on the narrative of that game. I don't think it was made with the same level of malice for the audience seen in the Joker sequel, but it's obvious what the writers love about the property and what the audience loved disconnected right out of the gate and the divorce was so bad it left everyone singing Taylor Swift.

    In case nobody else has asked: do you plan on returning to covering the other Metroid Prime games? The DoV: Space Pirates video scratched a serious, Metroid Prime shaped content itch that nobody I’ve watched since (except for perhaps The Orpheon) has been able to recreate
