      Hey Matttt, how you doing man! I wanted to reach out to leave a request, you see I adore your videos, in fact, I REALLY love your videos. I don’t like RUclips much cause I watch it way too much and feel guilty I could be doing anything else, but when I watch your stuff I really don’t get that at all, it’s like I’m watching a studio quality tv show, but on RUclips, it’s insane man. So I was wondering, if you were to ever dive into the world of manga, a world that not only I, but a lot of other people are a bit more familiar with than comics (not to say no one knows comics or that manga is better, just that nowadays i think alot of people read manga a bit more than comics) i highly recommend a video on the creator of Chainsaw Man, Tatsuki Fujimoto! His stuff is genuinely jaw dropping, and has a disgusting brilliance to the worlds and stories he does, it is insane. if not, then i would really love a hellboy video, because the movie is a favorite of mine and seeing not only how it came to be, but the differences of the movie and comic would be awesome. Im writing this at 5:17 am, so sorry if i rushed or didn't give enough detail, but i just wanted to leave a message to one of my favorite channels right now. keep on creating matttt 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

    One comic book that he was writing when he was taken by the military junta, and thus will remain forever incomplete, is "La Guerra de los Antartes" which translates as "The War of the Antarticans" the story takes place "in the near future" and is about an Alien mothership landing on Antartica and using it as a launching point to attack humanity and demand its surrender. After all of the nuclear payload of both the USSR and the USA fail to make a dent on the Antartican's base (the name that the humans give the aliens because they landed on Antartica), the world surrenders. However, there is a twist, the Aliens do not want ALL of Earth, just one continent, and are willing to let everyone else live if the world simply looks away to whatever they do in that one continent. Also, they promise that they will share some of their technology, not all of it, with the USA and the USSR, ensuing that they will remain powerful nations. Both the USA and the USSR agree to this, and the Antarticans announce that South America will be the continent they will take. The world agrees (some countries under protest, like African nations, oppose this, but a threat of being invaded by the USA if they don't stop complaining and vote in favor of the Antarticans taking South America makes them change their mind). The comic doesn't end, and just leaves us in how the Antarticans are attacking and killing everyone they find in South America, while the whole world watches and doesn't care. It was quite a powerful piece of work.

      So, the history of imperialism or the last 6-7 months during which the Gazan genocide by Israel went down without sufficient resistance. Sounds like a more apocalyptic (in the lawful evil sense) alternative to The Say the Earth Stood Still. So rather than aliens saying that if Earth doesn't shape up and disarm globally, they are all gonna die to protect the universe against human beings barbarism. Instead, it's a not too unrealistic or inaccurate representation of much of human history, at least, those of the nations of the powerful.

You can still enjoy his works even if you don't agree with him. For example, I am fiercely anti-communist and yet I LOVE Soviet cinema

    Thanks for the history lesson. My first time visiting Buenos Aires, I noticed the image from the Eternaut everywhere, and even saw the book in Kiosks, but never got a copy, because my Spanish simply wasn’t good enough. Finally got to read it just last year, thanks to a beautiful translated edition released by Fantagraphic here in the U.S. and it’s incredible! Heard there is a movie in the works, which would be very interesting if done right.

All mixed together in the best video about those topics made outside of Argentina I have seen.
