#TheFlash #EzraMiller #NerdSync #VideoEssay - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Scott is sincerely the nicest person. Trying to tackle such a sensitive topic in such a tactful way is laudable. And the cuts to Scott's face half-squished on the carpet sent me.
Did I say squished Scott-face sent me? Because the ad-read REALLY sent me. 😂
And I agree that giving up on the marvel movies is so freeing.
@@violajames VIOLA! Fancy seeing you here.
Idk I just don’t understand how this is sensitive topic to people who aren’t dicks. Yeah it sucks that a person who represents an underrepresented group of people is a piece of shit but does that representation mean more than the actual victims? Yeah, no. Idk seems like a pretty simple conclusion to draw to.
There's Video of him commiting some of these crimes. Scott is acting like this is a mystery. It isn't. It just a dangerous criminal being given a free pass by the media.
@@nameandaddresswithheld1890 issue is if he doesnt tip toe around this stuff even with video proof ya can be sued for slander or liable since ezra wasnt convicted of any of this.
Great video, Scott! Unfortunately, not all queer people are good people. And like any minority, we are judged by our critics by our worst examples. As someone who has struggled with mental illness for much of my adult life, I know first hand what havoc it can inflict on one's life. But I also know that it should not be used as an excuse to inflict that havoc on other people. I hope that Ezra is actually taking responsibility for their actions and is getting the help they need.
That's the issue. Ezra has taking 0 accountability for any of these actions. Someone does something bad, they shouldn't get to headline a movie like this so if people like th emovie enough, we all just ignore the horrible stuff.
You screw up and don't try to atone of your own accord, you aren't better. You just got caught.
I find it terribly problematic that this guy was willing to overlook all of the crimes Ezra Miller was accused of because he was lbgtq.
@@kyleellis1825 Which actions? They were allegations.
@@gaybojohnsonp8864 The filmed assault for one.
I mean, our community does have a tendency to draw mentally ill people, whether good or bad
trauma may sometimes be a reason for someone's terrible behaviour but it is never an excuse. they still need to take responsibility for themselves.
Hopefully Ezra does exactly that from now on
Agreed, many pedos were abused in their childhood doesn't make them doing the same to children any less damaging or damning.
It makes one wonder if changing really mattered to Ezra Miller, considering his history of hiding behind weak excuses and his identity, especially when you compare him to actors like George Reeves, who quit smoking to embody Superman, or Robert Downey Jr., who transformed from a pariah to a good man. If changing truly held significance for Miller, one might question why he didn't take steps to do so years ago.
@@tom9841 Definitely, although saying that Ezra has full opportunity to use the recent happenings as a turning point now. Hopefully Time will tell
@@X08-Chill Why do we put so much effort into PoS who have willfully hurt other people instead of putting more effort into finding the people like George Reeves. Ezra should never be in another movie again. But Hollywood will use their identity to make sure they do. Not for being a good actor though, just because they aren't a he.
Scott is one of the few people who could make a video about such a charged topic and have me want to watch and know their perspective. Scott's personality, humor, honesty, and level-headedness in every video instills so much confidence in me as a viewer. I loved how this video was an honest exploration of the situation! Thank you for the video and offering such a valuable, genuine voice to the conversation!
Wild that ezra’s career didn’t end with the choke slam
Didn't they said that was just "playing" between the two? (Really curious question)
@@uncannydcmarvelous5732they started off joking, but Ezra snapped and it suddenly got real. The woman reported him to the police and did an interview with Variety
Tbf as far as Hollywood goes, that’s pretty light. Hollywood needs to get more used to not hiring pieces of shit
I mean I’d say his career is over no fantastic beast no flash lol.
Stop saying they....
A nice comment: you are and remain one of my absolute favorite content creators on any platform. The choices that you’ve made show that you are committed to your art, and your consistently brave & insightful videos are a highlight for me whenever they come out.
Let's make sure he sees this boys
Ezra misses his friend
I was actually afraid this was going to be apologia for Ezra Miller. I’m pleasantly surprised. Thank you for being fair and accurate on this issue.
Same which is why I avoided it at first because... Yea Ezra has a lot of dark history tied to them.
@@NighttimeNubbs Ezra goes by they/them
@@BENY0HAMAthe person even said them. But id refer to him as him.
Nerdsync is always fair. Understanding and compassionate, but still objective about the facts.
@@Jonzelle185 tbf it did before editing it to correct it.
I had it correct in first draft of the comment but when I changed what I was going to say before posting my brain autofilled wrong.
Here's an idea: when you hurt people, that should have consequences regardless of how rich and famous you are or how traumatic your past is. Doesn't have to be retributive justice, but if you're a danger to others, you probably shouldn't be allowed to just run around like nothing happened!
Yup. Trauma and mental health do not justify shitty behavior. ;-)
This is my obligatory halfway through the video, and saying something nice about you comment. I love your editing style and the topics you discuss. You also sum up my feelings on the situation perfectly, so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
As someone who’s followed you on and off for the better part of a decade, it’s been amazing to see your journey and evolution as a person and as a content creator. I’ve grown and changed a lot myself and it’s incredible how much your work has continued to be relevant as you consistently up your quality and scope. Much love from a fellow queer! 💙💙💙💙
Death threats? Really? What is wrong with people... I'm sorry you have to go through that. I think you're great. :D As an anxious introvert I tend to forget how hateful and hurtful some people are. I had even avoided what ever drama Ezra Miller was involved in. I was actually quite glad you made a video as I was honestly very curious as to what he had done differently from stars like Johnny Depp that got recast while he still had his movie. I figured if you did the video, it wouldn't be so bad as your videos are in a more calm and lighthearted tone. Which indeed, it was. Thank you :D
*what they had done differently
Not to be that person, but just want you to know you used the wrong pronoun.
@@flyingsnowycats Yes, I'm sorry about that. I noticed it after when I reread my comment the day after and felt so horrible and stupid but also... kind of anxiety of editing a comment that people had already liked. After no one had said anything I just figured to leave it alone. ^^; It was just a comment and I figured I should stop stressing out over it. Especially if it was probably going to get buried by other comments and never read again.
This was in part that I had started to write the comment before fully watching the video and had only went back and added on/changed things around, once I had finished watching. I didn't know their pronouns before hand. I don't pay attention to celebrities too much to begin with, let alone to know any of them enough to know their pronouns. The other part was that I was quite tired and the little proof reading I did was just focused on my wording making sense and giving the intended message without being too wordy. My brain hadn't clicked that I had used the wrong pronoun. I only realized that the next day when I was more awake.
I know it's not an excuse, but this is what happened. And as you can tell by this long explanation, yes, my anxieties really do get to me. ^^; I will try to be more mindful in the future, even if I'm tired.
mental illness can start in men at any age
I truly appreciate your well researched and thoughtful approach to this video. This whole Flash/Ezra Miller situation is just bizarre in the way its often covered and the studios reaction. I hope all involved are able to receive the help/support they need to move forward in life. As for the flash in the DC movie verse, I hope a new actor is given a chance to bring the flash to life in future movies.
Scott, thank you for being one of the most thoughtful voices on CZcams. Particularly in the comics/ fandom corner of it.
it is common for men to suffer with mental health. ask for help
Hey I just want to say your voice is always valued in my book and as a cis man it saddens me that just by being yourself you can get threats on your life but as a black man I can emphasize with this so let’s just try to push past those haters
You have a moral center and code; not to mention you're a delight. You don't punch and choke females unprovoked in public and guarantee them a lifetime of trauma and anxiety. We only have so much to give as individuals at the end of the day every day, so choose..... wisely.
We choose you all day, every day. Did we mention you're a delight? Don't gotta be the Scooby gang to crack that mystery.
By the way, your running bit is killing me. I'm dying. This is inspired. Thank you, you brilliant bastard. ❤️😀✌️
amen!
Hey, I am at the 11:30 mark, just wanted to say I am so proud of you for coming out! I've been following you since 2015-16, right around the time I came out as a trans woman at 16. Your content is great, and it's been lovely to see you grow through the years. So happy for you. I guess I go search for what pronouns you use!
I'm much more of a lurker than a commenter, but your call to action made me actually write this. Thank you for your work, thank you for gendering Ezra correctly the entire video (I see way too many people way too often misgender them just because they're a bad person, but as you say, you can dislike someone and also respect their identity), and from one non binary/agender bi person to another, you're doing great work, and I hope the negative comments and threats don't get to you too much!
Migendering Ezra often comes from a toxic place. But I have seen the arguement brought up that because the news/Ezra's PR team have used their identity as a shield and not the mental illness as an excuse, that's why some of the youtubers are doing it.
Of course a bunch of them are just crappy people using any excuse to do it.
@@kyleellis1825 to be fully honest I don't care why people misgender them, as long as its intentional I think it's disgusting
@@rowan_like_the_tree Someone targets children, they're no longer human to a bunch of us. That's far more disgusting and it's these peoples only way of feeling like they're doing anything.
When society thinks someone is trash, they use whatever will hurt that person most. Ezra has proven they will weaponize their gender with the kareoke incident. Makes people feel a lot more comfortabel weaponizing it back.
he is a degenerate, cope
@@rowan_like_the_treeI did original do that to but that was me being angry at them. After like weeks of not hearing about them. I calmed down but their still a piece of shit
Thank you for sharing Scott, I agree completely. I don't know what people are thinking when they bring up Ezra's gender identity and using that as an excuse for being bigoted. Ezra is a person who seems to be going through mental illness and people cant seem to separate the two.
Because demanding being adresses with they them is a mental health issue.... But sure let's give dietpills to people with anorexia too...
@@Parialatedplease stop using outdated old and incorrect science to uphold your bigotry.
He didn’t really mention snything scientific or say anything particularly bigoted. If you disagree with him then deconstruct what he said don’t just throw around buzzwords.
And fuck, the false equivalence of ANOREXIA currently still being in the DSM while queer sexuality isn't (anymore) is so fucking shady and disingenuous. Like please get off those right wing sponsored YT videos, address your bigotry in a healthy way and fucking LEARN SOMETHING INSTEAD OF USING YOUR EMOTIONS TO JUSTIFY YOUR HATE
@@BlazinTrestop elevating narcissism enforcing pseudo science which is a beliefsystem/ideology, so don't talk about science with me doofus
You’re an amazing person whose nuanced take on this was very mature and compelling. I also greatly enjoyed your editing. Very good cuts.
Remember Emma D'Arcy and Bella Ramsey! They aren't stars of huge blockbuster movies, but they are the leads in two of the biggest HBO shows in recent years. There are great examples of NB actors making big waves in entertainment.
The list is expanding, and Ezra won't be the prime example of NB representation in Hollywood for long. Frankly we deserve better.
Emma Corrin, who played younger Diana on The Crown too! And since Scott included Demi Lovato, might as well mention their Camp Rock costar Alyson Stoner!
We stan Bella Ramsey, they seem alright
Truly sickening how hateful others can be to people they don't know due to anonymity and hiding behind a screen. I love your videos Scott, keep up the good work! (And I agree, Ezra needs to be held accountable for their actions)
men with mental health can show more aggressive behavior.
This might be your best video yet. The way you handle difficult topics with care and levity (the be gay do crimes bit had me laughing). And as a queer person who has been out for years, but only came out as trans and non-binary a couple years ago, this really does reflect a lot of my feelings on the topic as well as the need for more big name non-binary and trans rep.
I am here for the well wishes. I am so happy that you feel comfortable enough sharing your own pronouns and to tell the truth, you are one of the few creators on this site that forces my neuro-spicy brain to slow down and enjoy a video at 1x speed.
Also, I knew a little bit of the Ezra Miller situation, but I didn't know it went as far as it did. I also appreciate that you gave the information to us, but also didn't seem to pigeon hole us into an opinion about them. I appreciate the dedication and effort you put into your video!
Wanted to stop by and make a nice comment to say I’ve been watching your videos for years now and I have always made your new videos a must watch for me. You’re awesome and hope you’re doing ok mentally.
Scott, you're such an inspiration. The way ypu approach these topics is so kind and respectful. Thank you for making such a cozy little corner of the internet, hope you're doing well and continue to do well in the future :)
If my memory is right. The film was shot by the time most of stories about them were known. The talk about keeping them as Flash was after the reboot was already announced. The video was very good.
Hey Scott, I hope you're having a wonderful day! All your videos are a joy to watch and I always get a good feeling whenever a new vid shows up on my timeline. Keep up the good work!
Scott, I've been watching you since basically beginning and I have to tell you: I adore you. You're such a kind, soft individual and I love it. You're wonderful. Seeing your journey of coming out makes me happy and I'm here to see you grow as a creator and more importantly as a person. Stay you!
I thought Scott had a wife? Or has he just been talking about a roommate/his editor for years? Huh, based on the rest of the video, I was the one confused for years.
listen! Ezra is a good person
15:23 As someone who’s survived a lot of childhood abuse like Ezra, I’m way more empathetic of them than most. I do not condone their actions at all but I don’t publicly try and “call them out” because the last thing a person who is truly trying to heal from drama like that needs is all our judging eyes and constant spotlight. Hope Ezra truly is as dedicated to their healing as they seem to be. Hope they step away from acting and the Hollywood pressure cooker and find whatever they need to reconcile with the past and move forward into a healthier life.
Same. 🙂
men can suffer from heartbreak too
Congratulations on finding yourself as agender! I’m about your age, and I found out that I was ace a couple years ago. I can definitely relate to having to redefine the way you see yourself based on something that most people think everyone has. I hope that you find joy and acceptance as I have!
Ironic regressive thinking you are free to dress, behave and love who ever you want... Stop with using identity to mask lack of personality....
i ma aro ace.
with our powers combined we are triple a batteries
🤡
So you found out you are stupid. Congratulations
When I see one of your videos pop up on my feed I get so excited. They are always well researched and well done. You introduced me to the world of video essays and have set the standard in my eyes. I hope you’re having a good day and thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with the world!
I continue to be impressed by your honesty and vulerability. Also, hi-five to my fellow impulsive Etsy shopper! It's not the worst of vices, but it is a vice. I buy hats and fancy soaps instead of tie-dye shirts, but I get it.
I love how nuanced your videos always are when it comes to discussing issues. Life is complicated and messy.
I went through a similar process with all this stuff with Miller. I wanted it all to not be true, and to just be a result of transphobia. And so I looked into it. And very quickly came to the inescapable conclusion that Ezra Miller is a horrible person. Trans and non-binary people are people. And some percentage of people are horrible. Being queer does not provide immunity from being horrible, unfortunately. Anyway...great video! And you are awesome, Scott! You are definitely NOT one of that small percentage of people who are horrible.
You didn't look hard enough if that is your conclusion. Plenty of evidence he isnt. 1. He's gay so how is he being a pedo to a girl? Exactly. Yall are all gross losers on a witch hunt when you need to be in a library learning to READ. "Why are you worried about the dirt in your friend's eye when you have a boulder in yours" mmmmm hmmm
Granted, considering their life in Hollywood, they probably come from a _slightly_ higher proportion of awful people, queer or not.
Percentage as in the majority .. fixed your statement
@@edstringer1138 you think the majority of people in the world are horrible? That has not been my experience.
@@edstringer1138 I'm also from Gen X, and you cannot extrapolate your experiences with individuals to the entire populace. A lot of every generation has mental issues, including Gen X. Luckily, younger people are actually allowed to deal with theirs instead of just shoving it down inside and pretending everything is fine.
pov: you have fallen and cant get up and are awaiting for the ambulance. your agender buddy is helping you feel better by laying down with you and explaining the "controversial behavior" of movie star Ezra Miller
Everyone needs a buddy like this
Ummm... you doing ok now?
It makes one wonder if changing really mattered to Ezra Miller, considering his history of hiding behind weak excuses and his identity, especially when you compare him to actors like George Reeves, who quit smoking to embody Superman, or Robert Downey Jr., who transformed from a pariah to a good man. If changing truly held significance for Miller, one might question why he didn't take steps to do so years ago.
heartbreak and loneliness can cause trauma
Never left you a comment before, Scott, but I felt compelled to increase the nice comment count. I have long loved your content and think that, here and on Twitter, you come off as a genuinely nice person. I appreciate that you made a video that I can show people that details the trouble that Ezra Miller has been in while also respecting their identity. Many thanks and keep up the good work.
Ezra is expressing some overachievement....which is a psychological condition too. He might be coping
11:25 you're doing great, scott! absolutely agree with all that you've said so far.
when no one misgenders cis criminals, why the sudden need to misgender someone that is trans? it just speaks about the character of the person doing the misgendering, honestly. plus, as a queer person of color, i would never even consider fake being a minority to get out of a bad situation. that's because minorities are treated badly, nobody wants to face discrimination, whether they're good or bad people. I think people forget just how cruel the real world is to minorities even when it pretends to be inclusive.
Remember when they redeem themselves in The Speed of Force scene from ZSJL? Good times…
Just found this video, but have been following this channel for a while. I appreciate your nuanced approach to this topic - which I have been curious about but haven't been able to find enough verifiable information on. And, I see you as you are and am glad you do what you do.
I love the kindness and thoughtfulness you bring to every topic that you discuss.
btw scott bella ramsey and amandla stenberg are both enby actors who are pretty famous, in case you wanted a bit more hope.
Emma D'arcy who's the lead in House of the Dragon is also non binary
Genuinely sorry that you get any negative comments about anything, but especially identity or orientation. I'm sorry that a lot of people suck, especially since so many more are so awesome.
You are a good person, and this is a good video. It was thoughtful and humble, and put complicated things I've felt about Ezra and others into words. Then the sponsor read made me smile. Thank you for the video, and have a great summer :)
Halfway check - fantastic and thoughtful commentary as always :) your videos always goes to the top of my watch list when another one comes up, I always look forward to them :)
I'm gonna use the opportunity for nice comments to say I love your lighting. I don't know how much effort or exasperation goes into each part of video production, but the lighting and backdrop just makes for a nice, almost comforting vibe if that makes sense. It helps the video feel welcoming. Also I love the thumbnail styles. They stand out.
Absolutely this. The vibes of the Nerdsync channel are unmatched
I know how you feel. I starting posting my identity as a gay man, and I've been getting some bad comments. I even get one person who down votes nearly each video I post now. You are a beautiful person, and never let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks for each video you make and post
No offense but how would they know you're gay unless every single time you comment you bring it up for no reason regardless of the video topic lol. I can see why you'd get flamed for that
Scott I love you and your videos and you covered this difficult topic really really well, you’re the best ever and ur also rlly cool
Hey! I’ve watched your videos for… like way longer than I realised actually. Love your videos, so glad you’ve kept going even through difficult years, and changes in the dreaded algorithm 😊 Just want to leave a nice comment to say you’re awesome and I really enjoy your work.
Scott, I'm a long time fan so I am impressed by your level of professionalism and respect in this video. Keep up the good work. I also believe we can hold the deserving accountable for crimes while still respecting identities. Your journalistic integrity in this video is miles above some of the others I have, sadly, seen. You rock!
Love Glass Onion. Great mention here. I had no idea that Janelle Monáe was non-binary. After many years of teaching, this is the first semester where I have had students come out as non-binary to me. I will ask them if they know about Monáe next time I see them. I love Glass Onion so frickin much. I now have one more reason to mention it to people. Yay! (Wow, too late here, off to sleep. Just wanted to leave a second positive comment, because I am genuinely miffed to hear that you get negative comments for no good reason. Sending positive energy beams through the interwebs to counteract all that BS. 🌈🦄)
scott!! ur an amazing human being!! i always wait patiently for ur vids!! i hope u keep doing whatever u love and not care abt wat others want!!
It's pouring outside today as I watch this and I just wanted to say that am happy to be standing under the NB umbrella with you and I hope you'll have a good day and upcoming week^^
So glad you decided to talk about this! Love your videos. ❤
Hey Scott! I really appreciate you talking about Ezra. As a non-binary person myself, I completely relate to the disappointment from "allegations". Also, what are your pronouns?
🤡
He said once he maintains he him pronouns
Great video! I love these deep dive kind of videos you’ve been known for.
Scott your vids got me through my grandpa passing and are currently helping me through my moms passing, ur an amazing person and creator ❤
Here's a nice comment for you: For years, I've watched your videos and and when I see you, I see a true part of your identity that is beyond any gender binary. I see Context wrapping around me like a soft blanket. ❤
Love your content ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always love the ride your videos take us through. Enjoying seeing different perspectives.
Whenever you post a video it brings me so much joy, Scott, Iwant you to know that.
I love "its probably not aliens" and that I found you guys's channels through it. Both are great but your production values really reel me in and keep me hooked. On an unrelated note: didn't know you came out as agender, congrats! There's no right way to be NB but somehow this really clicks for me. I hope your increased sense of your identity brings you a lot of joy.
Happy corner concluded :) ❤
I was in the same boat hoping that all of the Ezra allegations were grossly exaggerated but that just doesn’t seem to be the case. I think Ezra is a bright and wildly talented individual and it’s sad to see them doing these things. Either way no one deserves to be torn apart for their identity. I hope Ezra gets the help they need.
@@woodchuck003 bad take
@@woodchuck003 sorry, I think there's been a miscommunication here. I believe your opinion is based on very little, but you will claim completely unsupported things to try to make your argument sound more reasonable. "the world we live in" is not some excuse for your light transphobia. "the world we live in" is one where trans and non binary people (and any marginalised group) are tired of being demonised and antagonised, having all of their actions being warped into something terrible. This leads to the community hoping that when serious allegations are being levied against one of us, we hope it's the constant over exaggeration of all the miniscule things we do wrong, not that this person has actually done some of the monstrous things they said we would do.
I know this probably comes off as very "debate me bro" but trust me, that's the last thing I want to do. I'm just a trans person who is exhausted by the misrepresentation of my community, and who understands the hope that maybe Ezra isn't so bad. After all, it's just hope right? It's hope based on years and years of oppression and this time, we were wrong. Many other times, we've been right
You are amazing! Thank you for being so authentic, you are truly a delight. I'm so glad I randomly found you, my kid and I are enjoying you so much. Keep being you!!! ❤
Love all your videos! Always a rush of serotonin when you post ^__________^
I’m sure this was a tough video to make but one of the things I like best about Scott (in all productions) is the fair and unbiased way the information is presented, even when it’s also got feelings mixed up in it. Great video.
Scott, this is the first of your videos I've seen, and as a fellow queer person, it warmed my heart to see you tackle this issue in such a sensitive, compassionate manner. Totally agree that Miller needs to be held accountable, but that doesn't change the disappointment fans feel when the few queer and/or trans entertainers we have turn out to be less than decent humans. I hope you're able to get some rest and take care of yourself after researching and exploring such heavy, triggering material. You seem like a wonderful human, and I'm excited to explore your channel. It was an instant subscribe for me. Have a lovely day. ❤
Congrats on your coming out!! Glad you are comfortable enough with yourself to share that deeply personal part of u with the world ❤❤
Hey man you and your video's are great! Keep doing what you do. Thanks for making these.
If Ezra has problems, I sympathize. But committing a crime, and hurting people, that’s as a straight up bad as it gets. What really sends me off is that WB scrapped an entire Batgirl movie for “being a bad movie”, meanwhile The Flash (starring an alleged creep) keeps trucking on like nothing happened. I almost blame WB more than Ezra.
And you know what, since Scott asked, I will leave something nice. Scott, I think you are a truly positive influence on this platform and I really respect the daily obstacles you have to overcome. I look forward to every video you put out. Have a good rest of the week, pal.
Thank you Scott for being such a great voice from the nonbinary community. I really enjoy all your videos, but these are extremely special to me.
I think miller sees himself as non binary. not entirely sure ... but he is the worst poster boy for any of the LGBT community. Miller gives those that spread hate against that community ammo to use for their misguided hate unfortunately.
Hey really good job with the editing on this one. Very visually engaging. Best wishes.
you and your channel are a bright spot! thank you for going through all of these allegations and having a nuanced conversation about this. I appreciate the work you did here.
Great video, Scott! Also, congrats on coming out as Agender! I'm nonbinary, myself so it's always a thrill to meet a likeminded individual around. Stay safe!
a sign of heartbreak is abandonment, rejection, resentment. men do express their feelings
When you look at actors who have changed themselves personally to be able to better embody their character; like how George Reeves quit smoking to be Superman or how Robert Downey Jr. went from pariah to good man, and then look at Ezra Miller who’s done nothing but hide behind weak excuses and his identity, it really makes you wonder that if changing really mattered to this guy, could’ve done it years ago
Coming over from Nebula to leave a kind comment on the video. Congrats on coming out as Agender Scott! Your channel is always a joy (I particularly appreciated your whisper of the heart video as I grew up watching that movie) and I love you Step Back’s podcast!!! Keep it up!! 💕💕💕
Scott your grate and your video production has gone through the roof and every video looks amazing and far nicer than anyone would ever expect form a small production
Honeslty, fuck the Non-Binary representation take. They did not come out as non binary until after they were cast in Batman Vs Superman and Justice League and signed a big contract. Barry Allen isn't Non-Binary in the movie its just a convenient coincidence that we have this representation in the first place.
being genderqueer, I have my guard up so much of the time when reading/watching stories about trans people (and nonbinary people in particular), so it was really nice to see someone cover this in a nuanced and empathetic way. keep doing what you're doing.
Good video, and the type of balanced exploring of a situation that I love about your channel.
thanks for making this video; it can b v hard to find these kinds of nuanced takes on issues like this, n i really appreciate u taking the time to talk ab it w such empathy n thoughtfulness. keep up the good work :)
Popping in to leave a nice comment (hopefully this one won't be 1000s of words long :D)
I'm always really impressed by how well you handle these topics sensitively and admit the kinds of emotional difficulty and ambiguity these kinds of conversations have, while still being really entertaining. As someone who's a bit tied up in that whole 'Academia and pretending I know stuff' frame, it's always been kind of inspirational.
Also you kind of kickstarted me off down the 'comic academia' train with the old Superman and the bomb videos. So half my ability to ramble about 'American Monomyths' and 'Page turn effect' definitely gets it start over on this channel
I love this video that released on June 30th and was a beautiful and thought provoking way to end the month and herald in July.
Seriously good video Scott! It's great having a breakdown of the whole Ezra situation. I'm genderfluid and it really sucks that one of the biggest voices who has a gender experience similar to mine is just so not great. Hopefully they get mental help and are also held accountable for all this stuff.
Man, i kept checking my home page yesterday because i kept thinking "man, Scott hasn't posted in a while, it's gotta be about time"
Thank you so much for trying to treat this situation in a nuanced way while also being transparent about your initial biases. I absolutely love the effort and I'm very happy to finally understand the situation better
Hi Scott, I am so happy to have stumbled upon your channel!! Your insight is so important for a lot of close minded individuals, keep doing what you do♥️
There's fucking video footage of him beating up women in public. This is not a half an hour long topic.
Thank you Scott, I’ve been trying for the longest to articulate the nuance of Ezra Miller’s situation, in these types of spaces (nerd and pop culture spaces) it’s hard to discuss that Ezra has been doing horrible things while still acknowledging they’re treatment (constantly being misgendered both unintentionally but mostly intentionally, as if gender identity is something that’s simply a courtesy and can selectively be respected) it’s really just exposing a lot of underlying transphobia and people are just using Ezra as an excuse to show they’re true feelings towards trans folks (if you claim to respect trans folks but purposefully misgender Ezra, you simply don’t respect trans folks bc that implies you didn’t believe people’s gender identities are genuine if you can turn it on and off) like I hate Caitlyn Jenner, but will still respect her pronouns… bc I respect pronouns, full stop.
Did He respect Women when HE was chocking them out or throwing chairs at Women??
@@TreFKennedy it’s not about respecting them, its not about respecting the person, it’s about respecting the concept of pronouns, regardless of the shitty behavior of the person. Same way I won’t misgender a cis person who’s doing fucked up shit, bc it’s not about their gender, it’s about the shit they’ve done. Like fuck Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby, so I’ll still say “Yeah HE sucks.” that’s all ill clarify bc I can tell I’ll get several replies like this
Hey scott your videos have always been a sorce of comfort since 2016 when I first found hour channel all because you do way waaay more research than almost any other CZcamsr I've seen yet. The thought and care put into each video makes them all special and unique and I find it perfectly wonderful and interesting. Heck you videos are so memorable too compared to other channels that it gets hard to watch other that dont have as much personality as you!
I hope you have a good day whenever you see this.
From: A long time Wonderful Nerd
This is me making it "this far in" and leaving a nice comment. You did a great job handling a sensitive topic. Well done! 🎉
I could tell that you're agender for so long and I'm not even sure why, I'm so happy to see you be your most authentic self with the rest of us.
Ezra Miller starring in We Need to Talk About Kevin may or may not have altered their timeline
Smashed the like button for the laying on the carpet😂😂😂.. genius video!!
One of my All-Time favorites of your videos! The spontaneity of the improvs were great! The knowledge was fresh! Even the ad was fun... for me, at least...
It’s good to hear I’m not alone in being conflicted. I want them to get better and I believe in rehabilitation and second chances, but also they haven’t actually shown that they’re actually working on themselves. They’ve said they were and then went away from the spotlight which could be them working on themselves or it could be them trying to lay low until this passes.
I did notice a lot of people were weirdly nice to Ezra Miller despite the tons of allegations, like I remember thinking "if, say, Joss Whedon did half of this people would be piling on him", but with Ezra Miller many people were like "I hope they get better and gets the help they need"
Love Scott and all their videos. It has been amazing seeing them evolve over the years but holding on to that beautiful outlook on life. It has to be difficult, but it helps me stay motivated in my own self progression. Stay frosty!
Hey Scott, I really love your videos and also your general vibe!
He actually was arrested in Vermont when I was up there, I was terrified of the thought that Ezra would break into my cabin
You did a great job explaining the sentiments around Ezra, and why I also don't feel like watching the movie in theaters, I'm sure I'll just wait for the release on digital maybe.
I love you Scott. Please keep making videos!
Thanks for the great vid Scott. Been keeping up with your videos on and off and seeing the growth in your content has always been a treat. Stay healthy you beautiful person ❤
