Short, additional essay: innuendostudios.tumblr.com/pos... - Zábava
"I think women and seamen don't mix." That line is so genius.
@The Four Horsemen Yeah, miswrote the phrase, but got a lot of upvotes though:P
Mr. Burns: "We all know what you think."
'so I've written a short additional essay..... ' okay, you're awesome and I love that. I'm so lazy even for uni I just say 'can't go into that now' for a related point that doesn't answer my thesis. Your youtube game is stronger than my current attempt at post grad education haha. excellent read btw, I'm not that involved in ableism theory (except neurodivergence) so reading even just your short point of the difference in coding of disability that is acquired or inherent really enlightened me.
I like the term "Punching the world back into shape."
When you have a fist, every problem looks like a face.
If you like that, play Asura's Wrath
We wait ages for a new video from you and then EIGHT come alone at once?!? EIGHT?? But seriously… very excited to see this new series.
Ian you can't just drop a whole series at once like this
yes i can
And how!
I love your profile photo and your name, daaaaaaaamn.
@@InnuendoStudios I wanted to make a joke like: "What a man!" -- although I suppose could.. still apply. "You go epic person, you" doesn't have the same cultural jingle.. but feels less tone-deaf. xD
Innuendo Studios has been one of my favorite channels since I discovered The Alt-Right Playbook though, and I feel like it has helped me a lot in my own creative writing in trying to make worlds and characters feel natural. You're a genius and your perspective has been invaluable to my own growth as a human being since discovering it.
Thank-you for these videos.
A new video from Innuendo Studios is always a good day. A new _playlist:_ that is what they call an embarrassment of riches.
The only duderagonist is Jeff Lebowski.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Actually, dude, the deuteragonist in that particular film would be Walter. (said in my best Walter voice)
You did what I see there.
um im back here to say this essay series changed my life. i never intended to watch the movie before seeing this video and now i have watched it 5 times...
I never noticed the arm on the door... learn more about this amazing movie almost every day
I thought deuteragonist was literally "duderagonist;" just a stock guy character who wasn't very interesting or important but was still used to further the plot. The more you know.
Warner Bros doesn't understand what transformative work means.
They just want to transform your money into their money.
I just found you.
I could not be happier.
Please keep doing this.
Innuendo Studios is one of those channels that it is worth to have bell on.
Back for my quarterly rewatch. I love this series so damn much. Happy 2021 Ian!
It really sucks so much of our life is dictated by intransparent, yet transparently unfair algorithms.
It's our fault, WE are letting those rule our lives.
How is life EVER fair?
I've definitely been formally introduced to the final girl thanks to cabin in the woods and thus any video talking about horror afterwards.
I was squinting about what movie this could be revolving, but, thank you for breaking it down so it could still be understood without me having seen Mad Max at all. I'll... Have to go watch it soon
Fun fact: did you know that a fair portion of the early Hong Kong kung fu film stars were women? The famous Shaw Bros. studios made Cheng Pei Pei an action star because they knew that most of their audience were housewives and they didn't want hulking muscular stars like Bruce Lee getting their audiences hot and bothered.
Nice introduction - seems like you've already put in more information than a regular yt video and yet it still shows there's more -interesting - information to come!
I found your page today and I have just been binging all afternoon. Your content is wonderful
Fantastic series of videos, incredibly interesting. You've clearly put in a lot of work here. MMFR is my fave movie & you've shown a completely different side to it I've not seen. It's made me appreciate the film even more. Thank you!
thank you for adressing the bodies thing! even if seperately, for some of us just the acknowledgment is meaningful
I love the visual story telling of Furry road - the movie doesn't spoon feed you useless dialogue. And yeah they did use atypical bodies to show inhumanity, but I liked how they called the implied disfigured son of Joe Perfect in every way and somehow I wasn't left with the impression that your are supposed to be grossed out by any of them - other than Joe - I felt more of a kind of sympathy, like them being disfigured was another angle for him to control them. "i'm the only one who would accept you" kinda thing. "to the others you are ugly to me you are special and perfect"
"Climate Change Solved!" Is a gross mischaracterization of how the conflict of Tomorrow Land is resolved. Though I'll give you that violence is the vehicle that gets them there. Bit of a sticking point for me, cause I feel that Tomorrow Land is a very underrated movie with a lot more thoughtful complexity than people give it credit for.
Obviously just my opinion, but I found it very frustrating that the tension of that movie was "how do we save the world?" and the only climax it could come up with was "punch Hugh Laurie."
Not saying we shouldn't try it...
@@InnuendoStudios I think it was actually worse than that. In the epilogue, it's shown that the Tomorrowlanders' "solution" was "Let's brain-drain all the helpful creative people into a hidden Breakaway Civilization that already has all the tech Earth needs but won't share, instead of leaving them here to build windmills and such on Earth." Sort of a Galt's Gulch for geeks. :(
@@kevincrady2831 Sounds like something Elon Musk would do instead of doing normal stuff to solve climate change.
Can't wait for Lindsey Ellis, Kyle Kallgaren, Bob Chipman, or the Every Frame a Painting guy builds on this video essay.
Welp, looks like you set my day up for me. Looks great already, I highly enjoy your videos.
Song at the beginning is “Aliens of Gold” by The Fucking Champs. (listed in the last episode of this series but i figure some people might want to know here too) 🥵
I waited so long I forgot I was waiting.
Then you bless us with an 8 part series all at once!
*Gets popcorn for everyone*
What a gift to the community you are
No one:
Commenters: That's offensive!!!
I know this is somewhat covered in the additional essay, but is it troubling to anyone else that "distorted human" is read as less human than "animalistic"? Because that's a thing that I've experienced in real life. People relate more to animals than they do to disabled humans. Why?
No, as an able-bodied but autistic human, I am asking in total seriousness. Why is a disabled body or disabled mind worth less empathy than a dog? Because I don't understand.
Humans behave and consider reality within a very narrow spectrum. Anything outside that reality cannot be processed, cannot be comprehended and therefore integrated into social functioning.
Most dogs are within the normal human spectrum. Autistic humans are not *currently* within the normal human spectrum, but could become so at some point in the future, as the normal spectrum changes.
The spectrum of acceptable reality can be very strange. Consider aliens. If an alien life form came to Earth, needless to say it would be outside the very narrow spectrum of acceptable reality. But the *precise form* of the alien makes a big difference - humans would be comforted if the aliens appeared like the Grays of alien mythology, and if they behaved acceptably they could enter into social acceptance, despite their appearance.
Disabled human bodies confuse humans, because of the profoundly wide range of disabilities. Normal human bodies exist within a very narrow range, while disabled bodies have tremendous variety, which combined with their rarity very much confuses humans.
Humans don't like to be confused, so they blame the disabled human for their confusion.
Because an animal (assuming that it is healthy as you didn't indicate similar damage in your question) is not in a position that makes them uncomfortable. People often do not desire to dwell on their own mortality/venerability, which a human being who is disabled causes them to do. Physical distortion of the human form triggers lizard brain instinctive repulsion, where as a human who is acting in an animalistic manner does not.
Hey man, really glad to see you're still making content. :) Keep it up.
Ooh, exciting! Can't wait to watch all parts :)
This remains one of my all time favorite video essays. Hoping Furiosa gives it a bit of attention again.
one of my favorite short video essay series
woah ultra uploads
An hours worth of videos in one day? Excellent!
eight videos in one day? you spoil us!!
Holy shit, opened up and saw like a million videos. This gunna be a good day.
I just found this channel and love it. Could you do a video expanding on your Bodies in Motion essay if you haven't already? I don't see enough people talking about it when analyzing film.
time to re-watch the entire series!!
I'm here from the Bechdel Cast! this is fantastic.
You've got such a good taste in music!
fuk ya i do
"I think women and seamen don't mix"
"We know what you think"
Those old Simpsons episodes were great.
Your first video got blocked for copy right fyi
It was just the eight videos put together.
Shouldn't you put Mad Max in the title? It's not very obvious to new people what this is about.
To be fair, if it didn't have Mad Max in the title of the movie, you'd be given fair do to think that the protagonist is Furiosa. If you take him out of the movie, do you lose anything? Does his character being Mad Max have any importance? Does he do anything to drive the plot?
um, okay, then maybe he should put 'Fury Road' in. I don't really care which title, I'm just concerned this is very bad SEO and the series isn't getting as many vews as it should.
I think it's better as is. The series isn't about Fury Road as such; it's about re-configuring the action movie to incorporate women/femininity outside of the box of male-oriented tropes. Fury Road is just a very good example of what Doing It Right looks like.
So pumped for the rest of this series. I just started reading the book Angry White Men by Michael Kimmel and read a section where he talks about the male power fantasies in modern day action movies
What did we do to be blessed with so much content
Great video, but if I could respond to the additional essay: I think you've made some errors in interpretation.
You write, "The implication is that the gene pool is too narrow, and maladaptive traits are proliferating." This is false. These defects are a result of radiation from a nuclear war that ended civilization in the Mad Max universe. The Lost Tribe reference this event as the "Pox-eclipse" in Thunderdome, and it can be placed between the events of Mad Max and The Road Warrior by the prequel comics. This nuclear war is also why the Vuvalini refer to the water as "sour", why the Green Place is unable to grow crops, why the War Boy chant references Fukushima, why the War Boys are described with "half-lives", and why the War Boys utilize blood bags: the transfusion is a treatment for their leukemia.
While you're correct that inbreeding, by lowering immunities, has been linked to increases in cancer risk: the War Boys are not inbred. The deleted scenes, as well as the comics, show that the War Boys are not Immortan Joe's children, they are the children of "the Wretched", the lower caste of the Citadel. czcams.com/video/pBtuOPnvdMA/video.html
When you write, "The atypicality of these bodies deployed to make characters seem less human, and thereby less relatable, and thereby less emotionally complicated to have the protagonists shoot.", you ignore the fact that this atypicality is represented in the Wretched, who our protagonists uplift at the end of the film. Immortan Joe's obsession with breeding a "healthy baby" to be a suitable heir to his throne is as deranged and condemnable as the rest of his actions. They are not codified as inhuman any more than the women of the film; you're reading the Immortan's views as the film's.
The idea that the atypical bodied characters were a choice made to make them "less emotionally complicated to have the protagonists shoot", is doubly funny in reference to Quentin Kenihan's Corpus Colossus because in the original script the character was killed by the protagonists, but this was changed on set _due to how empathetic the character was_.
"I can’t imagine what the casting room was like: 'We want to cast you because the body you were born with will serve as a metaphor for inhumanity.'" Quentin Kenihan approached George Miller asking for a role and was thrilled with the character's portrayal in both the film and comics. czcams.com/video/TT1kR5s0ovw/video.html
Mad Max, particularly as a wider series, is certainly not immune to criticism for being problematic, but in this case: I have to disagree with you. I think you've selectively read into the movie's coding; missed part of the visual metaphor in the film's finale; and definitely missed some of the wider contexts of the setting, both in Fury Road and the series as a whole.
Hopefully, you see this and think the conversation is productive, but either way; big fan, I can't wait to watch more of this series!
Surprised nobody got offended lol 😂
Wonderful response. Love to see educated and measured responses that aren't aggressive on a site like YT when it's very uncommon.
Hey, this was really good. Needs to be said, but I guess as one video "the algorithm" shut it down. Thanks for taking the time and doing the work for this! =8)-DX
Instantly recognized The Fucking Champs song in the beginning and love you for using it!
I wonder if it's high time someone created a platform to promote in-depth video essay like this. CZcams's algorithm and fanbase do not work in these amazing videos' favor. Great job on actually analyzing something instead of just vomiting biased opinion and calling for tribal support
I waited a long time for this.
Great scott, a new vid from InnuendoStudios! I noticed you posted a 50+ minute long version with all 8 parts in one. Why did you delete that again? I love long videos!
It got blocked.
Wow these are well-crafted.
One hour of concentrated Cultural Marxism? Never been happier.
Dude. The arm drawn on the war rig? I never noticed that before. Good eye!
Oh yes please.
Ok this looks like its going to be amazing.
This is a great opener.
damn, now im gonna have to watch fury road before i can watch the rest of this :((
Glad you did? :)
daaang gonna watch everything
Absolutely Brilliant.
I was hoping for a vid debunking and nailing the shit altright, BUT MAN IM LIVING FOR THIS!!
ALL DEEZ UPLODZ OMFG
He speaks!
Hmm that's not how I interpreted Joe's intro. The way I see it, it was to show to the audience that he's sick and that's he's putting on an act in front of his subjects. In a way this elicits sympathy as it's before you know what a terrible person he is and he clearly shows he's in pain while the powder blows on him.
Regarding his disabled son. I think this also subtly humanizes Joe as we can see in a later scene how important it is for him that his wives deliver him healthy babies. Yet Joe kept the 'imperfect' son and found a use for him. I'm not going to debate whether the movie is ableist or not. I kind of disagree with you but at the same time it's not the kind of thing I'm well informed in so I'm not comfortable making a definite statement. That and also because Mad Max movies have a 'tradition' of this kind of thing. (MasterBlaster, the bpd kid in the first movie)
Thank you for being a decent human being.
F for nux didnt get main character status
This is your masterpiece
that's a lot of uploads
Outstanding.
@7:07 what artist created the images for the types of females featured in films? i like the designs very much.
A. Pizza
Damn, that's a lot of uploads!
Also, sucks that the big video got immediately copyrighted :c
I would have prefer a full movie length essay, this is like my fav movie
Eight videos!! EIGHT!!
This video autoplayed and I love the Fucking Champs so thanks dude
wow thanks for spamming my timeline
just kidding bb ily can spam anytime luv ur content
FUCK YOUR FEED, YOU'RE WATCHING ME TODAY
@@InnuendoStudios oh boy you bet I did, watched through that shiz twice my man
Whats the first song?
I wish I could wipe the word "feisty" out of the damn English language. That's how much I hate it.
So feisty, bbg.
what's that first song?
How did I miss this? Also that's a lot of spoilers!
Man I love the Mad Max series.
I'm hooked
All through the part about violence solving problems my brain was playing 'Malcolm solves his problems with a chainsaw'...
Song? In the beginning
dude u rock
Amazing
You left out of the warnings, “Cruelty against robots”
The spoiler list is to long for normal human beings. Should i watch it anyways? Or which movies should i really watch before continuing with the series?
Only Fury Road, the rest are only very minor spoilers that won't prevent you from enjoying the movies.
Thanks for this videos I've decided to watch this movie with my family and we all enjoyed it! even my parents were engaged with it, esp. my dad, who mostly watch boring man centered action movies with women only used for love/sex or whatever...
You should do an episode on Pool Panic and Animism after you are done with this.
What? They already blocked the first one :(
The Vasquez! Hell Yes!
Do you think it is accurate to call Jeff Bridges' character in Big Lebowski a Duderagonist?
i didnt realize there was a word for the trope where a female action hero accidentally appeals to my lesbian feelings (the vasquez ofc)
wait, empathy for an action heroine rare? What about the hunger games, the divergent series, Ciri from the witcher?
They are three characters out of a genre of thousands. i.e. rare.

Watch the videos, most of these are covered, if not explicitly used as examples of not really doing that.
I don't think Fury Road uses atypical bodies as unhumans unduly, it portrays almost EVERYONE who isn't a main character as being dehumanised by their post-apocalyptic circumstances.
Damn I want to watch this series but the list of potential spoilers kinda put me off...
Video begins at 0:29.
nice
