Definitely do more drunk videos. It's not good for your health but hey it's great content😂

I prefer popples. ;p;

Please let me join the Wildberry Princess hate club

I don't feel like 0:51 Sokka and Katarra are a good example of this, because Katarra is the younger sibling but acts as the parental figure, but Sokka is the over protective one.

I remember watching Sakura's death on some video I saw before seeing the anime, I forgot which video did I saw it but the bit showed up randomly and I was confused what was all that, after seeing the anime, the character analysis of Sakura, made me think me think of her as Sayori from DDLC because they do have some similarities about their happiness, depression issues and other stuffs that can be related to each other, but my character is Ai because of her personality, my favorite humor of the is where the girls bump into people when they're not wearing their makeup which they'll be screaming at each other including that episode where they go to the Drive-in Tori restaurant because of Tae's funny moments, and my favorite song of ZLS is the season 2 opening theme

Yes finally someone else who has seen Why Women Kill

i really hate the mean spirited version of this trope but the like accidental/playful punching bag trope if done properly can actually be really charming

Courtney is non-binary

I think I might've made my fanmade Link a himbo. He's Ganondorf's son and Ganondorf deliberately kept him sheltered from the atrocities he committed because he recognized that Link (his birth name is Voe Dragmire) is a moral enough person to break rank if he knows about it. This means that he's really naive (he first met two of his traveling companions when they almost succeeded in scamming him). He's very friendly even towards people who are being downright awful to him (most notable in his interactions with his Zelda, whose frostiness towards Ganondorf's kid quickly turns into awkward, angry tsundere energy towards this dumb** she constantly has to rescue and is just too nice for his own good.) He's actually pretty feminine, though, having zero issue dressing in a vai outfit and spends a bunch of downtime messing with his hair and appearance. When Zelda asks him how he's so comfortable pretending to be a girl, he basically goes, "Well, I know Im a guy. Why does it matter what everyone else thinks I am?" Also, he figures out Zelda (crossdressing to hide her identity) is a girl wayyy before any of the other main characters but kept quiet about it because she has reasons for doing that and its none of his business.

*GASP* Joey Wheeler is a himbo!

People were just projecting avatar yangChen ‘s pragmatism on kyoshi.

Hell yeah, read the Kyoshi books. They're great. They definitely paint Kyoshi veeerrry differently than how the fandom does, even if one of the last lines of the book goes harder than anything I've read in a long time, ha.

Uh, yeah about that thing with keyoshi (sorry for misspelling her name)…

Thank you for this video! I really loved your analysis on how girlboss is so casually used without taking into consideration the capitalist implications behind the term and it's meanings.

great video!

Great video, thanks!

Mizu is a trans man and I die on this

7:07-7:14 "It's not a pressing issue cause It's not systemic"?? So society telling men everything is their fault, male characters Like Luke Skywalker & han solo & Many other male characters Getting portrayed as inept losers, broken hopeless & good for nothing & having every Male be portrayed in many modern female leads as purely Evil misoggonistic villains With 0% depth, like dreykov Black mask from birds of Prey & bumby from Alice Madness or soft lame self hating male characters Who are non threatening & Judt exist to prop up women Or to be humiliated or a apologist For "mens past wrongs" to soley empower female characters at The expense of men in general Yeah not sexist at all. Also in the real world a woman's Word means Way more then a man's & a men are never Taken seriously like women for being assaulted, abused or harassed & Blamed for all of women's Problems & having certain affirmative action laws to Discriminate against men but yeah it's not "systemic" Sure I believe You. 🙃😑 Also how are Women oppressed when Everyone tries to encourage?? & Help women even in the Past?? men would put their Lives in the way to protect Women, sexism does exist For women but here's a interesting thing nobody Talks about it has positive & Negative effects & it Usually benefits women a lot of Women themselves Don't hate sexism if it Makes their life better While vice versa it really Doesn't benefit men at all.

Your channel has honestly been exactly I look for in video essayists and has been for many years now. I actually got into video essays through one of your She-ra videos. Amazing work, please keep making these!!

These videos are really great, but they're all so short! Give us some video essays, something to really sink our teeth into

This was recommended on my home page! Have you seen "Poor Things"? I think it's the perfect example of 'peak girlboss' while also showing how feminism is kind of stunted in a capitalistic society. Great video! I'll have to finally check out Adventure Time just because im curious to see Princess Bubblegum's character arc now lol

Catra deserves redemption but this was not the way. It all happened to fast and to forgiving when people suffered through hell because of her. I get not every redemption can be a Zuko redemption but come on, do better

I think that girl in the school is not Terra she is apart of Beast Boys imagination I also think that the whole School is fake Terra her school friends the students the teachers and the school are all an allusion created by Slade maybe to show Beast Boy that Terra in never coming back (she is dead her whole body was consumed by lava no one can survive that) and if she did come back this is what the path she will choose think about it if Terra came back and she wanted to forget her past and start a normal life why would she live in the city where she tried to take over and wouldn't any of the citizens of Jump City recognize her and through her in jail for everything she has done. Terra may be messed up but she is not stupid she would have ran to another city or town far away from Jump City and start a normal life there and another thing to support my theory when the Titans noticed that there favorite stores where gone and where building a new office complex which was on the other side of Terras High School the School was not there and when Beast Boy shows up there by him self it was magically there and when Beast Boy went to talk to Terra her school friends had no idea who he was even though he and his team saved the city a bunch of times and the students seemed clueless about him in the school and no staff told him to get out. I also think in the Teen Titans Go comic Terras brother also was able to see the allusion Slade created for Beast Boy because maybe he new he was dessparet to see his sister again so he just let him see that so he would let his sister live a normal life because Slade knows Terra is dead.

Damn. I came here to find out if Adora is a Mary Sue. You explain a Mary Sue as being a main character with flaws that are surface level, if they exist ar all. You say Adora isn't a Mary Sue because of her flaws. But all the examples givin were surface level flaws. So is Adora a Mary Sue who gets a pass because you like her? Does she have real flaws that just weren't mentioned? Someone help, what am I missing?

'PromoSM'

This video was such a joy to watch! I don't think I would be able to compile a list of top 10 right now, but some of my favourite episodes are: Three Buckets, The Music Hole, The Comet, Whispers, Seventeen and The Wild Hunt. There are many more that I love, those are only from season 6-10, but idkkkk.

Kon El = Super Himbo

The goose...is loose...

I’d like to think Yugiri was always calm everything because she was also…always smoking 😂

you brought up a really, really good point that I think about often but have so much trouble expressing! kids (and people in general I'd say) don't need only represantation, they need to see other identities. (okay, this comment is a big tangent to the topic of the video, but it is related to this line, so...) I find so annoying how people use "relatability" as a mesure of quality for characters, as if being identifiable by the largest group of people possible was something worth praising and also the only way to make a character likeable, when, in reality, most people have something called E M P A T H Y, and so they can understand and enjoy all sorts of characters, despite how different of them or uncommon they may be, but the way online discourse overwhelmingly treats this topic, is as if audiences enjoy characters only on linear progression based on how close a character is to them, which nky only is NOT true, but forcing too much relatability on characters can make them bland and boring. and all this drives me sooo maaaaaaaad

well, isn't because intelligence is subjective and diverse that everyone is the same or that stupid people don't exist, on the contrary, people can be stupid in a myriad of different ways without necessarily having another type of intelligence to "balance it out"

gahh thank u for putting into words my love for these women so eloquently 🥹✨✨

You are cooking

What an excellent show. Loved your take on it!

Ummm I’m both ridiculously super good looking and smart people ask me all the time how I’m doing my answer is always well my stomach is dijesting fud and giving me power to muv aroond and stoof

This is such a well done video

Late to the party here, but we do get some hints towards the Simon and Betty storyline here in the original series. In particular, in "Temple of Mars," Magic Betty is confronted with a vision of her younger self just before she met Simon. We see how young Betty was excited to start her career searching for petroglyphs, and we learn that meeting Simon completely and instantaneously derailed those plans. Magic Betty muses aloud that she has so completely given herself over to Simon's cause that there might not be any underlying "Betty" left. Of course, this being Magic Betty, deep in the grip of her madness and sadness, she pretty quickly decides that she's fine with this, and kicks off her search for GOLB that leads to the finale a few episodes later. But this shows that, even in the original series, the writers were thinking about the nature of Betty's obsessive self-sacrifice and Simon's apparent obliviousness to it. I don't know that the writers ever expected they'd get a chance to follow up on this thematic thread, but I'm so glad that they did in Fionna and Cake.

Gosh, make me tear up in the last fifteen seconds, why don't you. 🤣

Kyle's mistreatment is objectively why I will never touch She-ra with a 30 foot pole. Especially fucked up with the implication that he's gay/bi. Like, dude. I'm almost more offended over Kyle than other characters like Meg because She-ra is SUPPOSED to be about friendship and being yourself and vulnerability. Like nice job lmao.

FUCKING WASPINATOR. He is the comedic punching bag character in the Transformers show “Beast Wars”. And. The main joke is that he doesn’t deserve it??? And that he has funny mannerisms and a funny voice?? It’s not like he’s a good person or anything, but damn he doesn’t deserve any of the slapstick shit he’s subjected to.

That book with the face reeaaally scared me as a child.

This may seem like a bit of a reach but something that I noticed in the sleepover episode was that /50s style Debra and Debra with a bob used the landline phone meanwhile the Debra with the curly hair use one of those old keypad phones from the 2000s to me this symbolizes that that Debra with the curly hair feels less fancy or less important than the other girls... to me this also is symbolic that's how her home is the only place she can truly be herself considering them when she's with the other Debras she changes herself completely so it would make sense that she would act differently in her home because it's the only time where she can let down her walls and be who she really wants to be.

That was beautiful

If Ai and Junjo have similar personalities in the dub, that’s a big failure from the voice director- they’re very different in the original. Ai is hyper logical and doesn’t nonsense from anyone, Junko is pure Shy Girl.

I must have watched so much media from Nelvana studios but off the top off my head I could NOT tell you any of their names.

I think a lot of people when creating stories and characters just write what they think is cool, which I think is reasonable because that's a good chunk of the appeal of fiction, it's just that for a lot of guys, it just happens to center around the dudes getting most of the cool action stuff (boring in my opinion) and other things that can feel stagnant, so I can definitely see the frustration with these kinds of characters. I don't think it's inherently wrong for a character to only serve a simple purpose and they don't always need to be complex, but there's obviously tons of different types of characters that interest people and I think those should be explored a lot more, as far as my own interests are concerned I think every piece of media should have big buff women that annihilate everything in their path. To sum up I don't think there's anything inherently wrong those pieces of media, but I definitely agree that it's annoying when they often have the same boring tropes.

The new MOTU Origins line of replica figures have a sub-line called Turtles of Grayskull, which is a crossover with TMNT, and adds a new continuity to MOTU where the Turtles and their main villains end up in Eternia, I wonder if the new TMNT movie featuring the Skeletor voice clips has anything to do with that, what with both being forms of crossover with the same properties.

Stranger than Fiction is a character drama/comedy with a weird narrative twist and some sweet romcom elements. One of my favorites growing up and highly recommended

The power of friendship how basic

CZcams once recommended me a graphic novel dub where everyone was just unlikeable to so unlikeable that it made the unlikeable characters look like enjoyable likable characters by comparison, or the were just bland trope, dull plot device, or no personality.
