    I thought you sounded kind of gay and annoying when you were complaining about Scott dismissing pedantic critics, but then I saw you also have tons of videos complaining about wokeness, so now I know for sure that you really are gay and annoying.

    To be fair, its not worse than the latest fast and furious movie. Panned by critics but enjoyed by adiences. I think 'indulgent' is the right word. Elodie is not half as obnoxious as galadrial or rey, and, best of all, damsel only has its own lore to screw up.

    Just wondering, are you religious or a Christian by any chance? If you are a Christian, I'd like to greet you as a fellow brother in Christ. ^^ If not, I will still support you and your channel for the awesome way you analyze things and speak. :) That said, I think there is another contributing factor to the decline of Christianity or religiosity in the West that is sadly overlooked even by those who have rightly pointed it out. Would you be interested in hearing my hypothesis?

    Not sure if you have heard of Berserk, but you know who this Amazon's blasphemous desecration of Tolkien's beautiful character reminds me of? Griffith. Heck, even Griffith during the Golden Age Arc was far more humane than this Guyladriel demoness can ever be.

  • @jihunshin4864
    @jihunshin4864 Před dnem

    Seriously, I never get tired of watching this brilliant and superb satirical analysis of how Amazon has ruthlessly VIOLATED one of Tolkien's most beloved creation. Tolkien's Galadriel: Literary, creative representation of the Holy Theotokos or the Mother of God the Son (given the fact that the author himself was a devout Catholic) Amazon's GUYladriel imposter: An Imperial Japanese rapist in Nanjing 1937 during the Japanese invasion of China. That smile she displayed while riding a white horse is eerily similar not only to Jeff Dahmer but also to the IJA soldiers similing while sadistically competing over who could behead most Chinese CIVILIANS.

    "why isn't there more Willem Dafoe, I want more Willem Dafoe" made me laugh so hard. Also, I have never in my life found a character that resonated with me this hard as Archer. The feeling of being powerless enough that the only way not to lose your own sanity is to Rebel, to take on what is physical to spare yourself the mental. You can't lose your sanity if you're too tired to think. The boredom at the unchanging of the status quo also played a part along with the frustration, and the acceptance of the fact that the outcome will remain the same so might as well do something.. literally anything to stave off the metal toll which certainly helped. Didn't want to do something I knew I'd regret, and I'm sure as Hell Glad I did it. Finding someone to put it into words certainly helped me understand why I acted that way, especially when others opposed me for it, Thanksies.
