Red discussing retcons and how nuance it really all is would make for an excellent video. Especially given her being a Dragon Ball fan on top of DC and Marvel comics.
but hydrated Imhotep in The Mummy (1932) is kind of a dilf
So Red didn't include this "lore" in her werewolf video from a few years ago, so it's probably just Tumblr-ina bullshit, but I feel like I need this short story. https://youtube.com/shorts/KBhpoE2rHhA?si=yqqTKg6z9H8HZAEz
Could the channel maybe add playlists for mythology videos by source culture, please?
Could the chanel staff maybe consider doing a 'Detial Diatribe' video for the Senki Zesshou Symphogear series/franchise (maybe also including at least some coverage of the Senki Zesshoushinai Symphogear post-season OVA shorts and content from the discontinued Symphogear X-Drive: Unlimited, or XDU, mobile game,) please?
First and foremost, I found it very refreshing to hear Red go on about how the Imperium is really feckin' boring. Because she's absolutely right and this is coming from someone who actually likes some things about the Imperium. Mostly as villains. They work really good as villains. Honestly, her criticisms are pretty much in line with my own.
It was also interesting to have them both criticizing Titus, given how fans tend to feel he's one of the best characters. For me, I do like him, but their complaints are spot on. He's a very highly static character who's "growth" is pretty much a straight line. If they played the first game I think they'd have a better idea about what was going on with him though. Also, Red would've enjoyed it more because the Orks were there and they were the best.
If you haven't read it it's one of the most ambitious works of science fiction. It has one of the most creative settings I've ever read and it's chuck full of well executed literary aspiration.
Do be warned that the author Martin Silenus(Dan Simmons) like Heinlein, Lovecraft and many other science fiction writers, has some weird and problematic views.
He’s come up recently with the Mummy video, and yeah she points out classic racism, but also the general horror of the situation of being surrounded by living corpses with animal heads worshipping an unknowable god of death
And I kinda can’t tell if she thinks that’s supposed to also be bad.
Like it’s a horror story, and if I was in that situation I’d probably have died of fear several times by that point, is she just tired of the trope from reading all his stuff? Does she not like horror? I may just be dumb idk.
I got a Loki pin right when the video came out cause I thought the video was cool and the pin design was even cooler. Still have the sticker sheet it came with. Last night my pins kept falling off my backpack cause I had a lot of stuff in it so I took them all off so I wouldn’t lose them. AND THEN I LOST LOKI ANYWAY! I have no idea where he went. He was in my pocket when I got to work. Then I went to put my pins back on this morning and he was gone. Looked positively everywhere, and he is nowhere. I am actually so bummed about it.🥲😭 anyone know when/if the Black Friday sale will start so I can get a new one? Or any other means of getting a replacement? If this isn’t a good place for this I’m sorry I haven’t been on Reddit for a bit.
I remember there was an osp video that covered how Odin discovered the nordic runes, but I can't find it anywhere or find a video where it's mentioned. Does anyone know if its deleted or if there's just a video i missed? Cause I swear I remember watching a video exclusively about Odin and not just mentioning him. Plus i remember he was drawn differently, with the eyepatch but also shorter hair and a band tied around his head. But i could be remembering that wrong.
Ten years until the book executes its revenge against her.
