“It’s not repetition. It’s rhyme.” Brilliant explanation.

I was pretty hooked on Wanda Vision until the sword episode. They solved the mystery way too early. I agree they should have let Vision play as Watson and should have kept the tv format with more clues and introduce sword in the second to last episode or remove them entirely.

1.) I think a lot of people who like the anime may like it in comparison to the movie. I haven't read the comics, so I didn't know Stephen and Todd had more complex stories originally. Since it wasn't in the movie, I didn't miss it in the anime. Ramona, Knives, Roxie, and Kim all have more screen time, dialogue, and personality in the anime than they did in the movie, so to me as someone who hadn't read the comics previously I really appreciated seeing more of these female characters. 2.) I agree that Ramona doesn't technically fit the manic pixie dream girl stereotype because she isn't especially energetic and fun like they're supposed to be, but movie Ramona does feel very one dimensional. She barely has a personality of her own in the movie and she does feel like she's just there to be an interesting / edgy looking girl for Scott to become infatuated with which leads to *his* growth and development. Compared to the movie, I loved seeing Ramona have a personality and storyline outside of being the edgy girl that Scott has a crush on. Most of the critiques the anime was responding to, including the manic pixie dream girl critique, were also probably targeting the movie more than the comics. If O'Malley did have these criticisms in mind, he may have been making up more for the movie's flaws than the original comic's flaws.

as someone who once found a copy of one of the 'queen bees and wannabees' on my mums dresser -- this was eye opening for me

Not sure if anyone'll see this 2 years later, but why does Rebecca Sugar switch her accent sometimes (i.e. 25:20 )? Googling revealed nothing about this, besides the fact that she's from Maryland.

TL;DR: It will never be enough, so why try at all?

My take on the show is that, this is about Beths need/want to connect to others or in other words belonging somewhere. The "autism" she has is just one element that disconnects her from other people. Just as being a woman in a mans world (which I praise the show for not going the route so many "strong female character stories go where their gender is their whole identity.) is also one element that separates her from others though its emphasized that its not her only reason. Another good example of her woman hood not being enough to connect to others, is when she hangs out with girls from her school and how she didn't fit in there either. Beth was abandoned as a child, when she finds a parental figure who she does connect with they disappear in her life, and the moments where she feels connected to others is when it involves chess. When she begins to abuse drugs during her matches, that was when things start to change in her life and she isnt alone, she develops a hyper reliance to it. Believing its tied to her success, thus her self worth. But its when she fails and people come together and help her at her lowest that, that belief begins to shatter. Her worth was never tied to the success she got from chess but it did bring her to people who would under stand her and see her beyond her weird quirks. Theres more that I can say, but thats my general read on the show. I looove beth as a character.

I love Doctor Who

A lot of great shows are desperate for the "filler" SU got. (And even it was rushed in the final season because they lost a sixth season by making a wedding as gay and uncensorable as possible and they will always have my respect for that) Take avatar for example, phenomenal show buty Zuko never gets any actual downtime with the Gaang. He never even says Toph's name.

I wish they had figured out a better way to include Jolene that provided the complexity of their relationship. By removing the dark history, they watered-down her character and their bond to the point that Jolene’s character felt tokenized. They could have done a much better job with that. It wouldn’t need to be SA. But something more complex to do justice to the character and her relationship to Beth.

Wanda Vision started out interesting and then fell off a cliff.

The Beach City episodes are filler from the traditional definition, but not insignificant. Filler ≠ insignificant. Filler is good for breathing room and seeing characters in situations that don’t tense them up. It just so happens that Beach City is near-irrelevant to the overarching plot, but it is still important for world building. I definitely think some Beach City episodes are important, but you could definitely remove a handful of episodes without missing anything, Beach City or Gem related. These episodes are good for building the world and characters, but some don’t need to be here at all. You could definitely cut episodes like “Steven and the Steven’s” or “Rocknaldo”, which don’t focus on the plot, the world, or its characters (Gem or human), and still have many “filler-esque” episodes to enjoy.

1:53 why not Just make a comic version of takes off?

1:41 I hope this bin switch doesn’t get transferred through other future comic animated adaptations true to the source material and as much as possible

1:34 I wish they got actual Funimation voices

I dislike having to have race and lgbtq stuff in everything to be a tv show~~ some people think we just avoid the stuff. The thing is not everyone just don’t get to those part.

I think the real cost of genius that he was trying to allude to was the all consuming nature of it. The truth is you can only “have it all” if you’re willing to compromise. To truly be the best in the world at something or even just very highly skilled you will inevitably sacrifice relationships, additional interests, and a bit of your own wellbeing to get there. She might have friends who help her win the world championship and she does come out successful and happy with what she gained for her sacrifice but at the end of the day she is still going home alone to a big empty house and now has nothing to work towards because she’s already achieved the highest level of success in her field. The only place to go from here is down. Chess is all consuming for her and she seems happy enough with that but it doesn’t mean there isn’t still a price being paid. Chess gave her money, fame, and a huge sense of accomplishment and joy but it cost her a well rounded life with fulfilling relationships and other interests. I’m not arguing it’s a worse life or the wrong choice, just that there is a price.

I actually didn't care much for WandaVisions portrayal of Grief, Actually I think that AfterLife by Ricky Gervais is a much better display of how grief feels on a day to day basis

This strangely starts to remind me of Hikaru no Go. I wanna go back to watch some episodes of it to see how they portray the game, moves, character motivations, actions and reactions.

where can i access the full movie? Please

louis Ck's joke does not assume anything and it's not insulting in any way Dude . come on .

and the difference between gravis and these comedians LGBT or not is that they are not funny and i find that Objective

i think you're really funny . But i think the problem is Point of view and by that i mean it totally depends on what YOU find REAL and what YOU find ABSURD . still i like to Challenge my Norms Once in a While .

17:22 Even by the criteria you've set up for what makes something "not filler" Space Race has important character development for Pearl. Secret Team establishes that Gem Shards can still make body parts, relevant for the Cluster arc. Fusion Cuisine is a character introduction for Alexandrite (though she could've been introduced elsewhere sure) and Connie's parents. Winter Forecast, Open Book, and Steven's Birthday all serve as entries in Steven and Connie's character arc, with the birthday one being particularly relevant. Room for Ruby establishes why the Gem's don't have a spaceship to go after Steven in I Am My Mom anymore and how Eyeball got back to Homeworld I suppose most of them could fall under the argument of "you don't know this information is important until later with new context" but at least for me they still felt impactful on a first airing. Like you don't know *what* they're setting up, but you certainly know they're setting up *something.*

You missed that the black man to Meryl's right side was the real Nigel to Anna Whitless. And Anna really dumped him badly when he got covid and died in real life.

Actually was not thinking of sweater, divorce, work ethic or indeed the Paris scene … I was hoping it was the “No, no. That wasn’t a question.” scene, actually… (get a grip). No sub.

Anyone know which song the "anime" opening was? 👁️👁️

Firstly, I love the smokey eye look 😍 Secondly, I think the format of expressing arguments as two opponents across the chess board is inspired. I think this allows you to present nuance, and raise thought provoking questions without the viewer thinking you're just offering the "correct" viewpoint. Sadly, I think that's how media criticism is consumed now - as though it's the marketplace of ideas. Well done, there's some excellent ideas and arguments in this essay.

I made an edit of the series by chopping the outside perspective until vision gets out of the hex. I showed to by Boyfriend at the time and his experience was slightly better because of the mystery being extended beyond chapter 4, and I thought it was better too, in general. He also thought Wanda had eaten "Geraldine"😂, since her just vanished as we didn't see the outside world, and Wanda said she left with that weird expression of evil. The second part was basically another show, far less interesting for me because I didn't care much about the sword side. None of the less, I think it was an improvement of the experience.

If you could recommend any literature on adaptations and what makes them work, I would be very interested since this topic is somewhat related to my thesis and you spoke about some points that we can definitely all agree to but maybe there is also a scientific source for that😊🙏 Also great video!

Here’s the problem with JUST your opening statement. If a movie is made from a book and takes that books name then you should be honor bound to tell people something like “loosely based on” or call your movie something else. Because people go in to see a story like Dune with the expectation that this is a faithful adaptation of the books… only get those 2 mediocre, adapted nonsense movies and will never trust you again….

WandaVision makes me sad cause it was so close to being really cool. The whole show crumbled for me as soon as they returned to the marvel format. I honestly think if they had kept the theming up the whole show it would’ve been one of the most unique piece of superhero media produced recently, and could have been genuinely fantastic

This video and others like it are so confusing. I genuinely don't understand what the objective here is. Like are you hoping an aspiring comedian who's watching will consult this video when they construct their own jokes? Are you hoping that the thoughts you posit here will always be in the back our minds when we watch the next comedy special? What exactly are you trying to achieve here? What reaction are you hoping to elicit?

I genuinely do not get what's offensive about the first joke. That gay people are rapists? But they're not! So I'm confused why people are getting offended by an incorrect statement who's truth they know.

The devil is Meryl #fionabarnett

At 19:39 I CANNOT help but notice this... .....This author talks like Jeff Goldblum.... First time I've ever heard that in another voice.

I love the way debate is presented in this video!! it's such a creative depiction!!!

Just learned my new favorite word thanks to you: dinkus

Yknow what’s even more strange? Wanda (in the movies) got her powers from the Mind stone, which means her influencing reality is a little strange since she didn’t get her powers from the Reality stone. I liked her when she just manipulated minds in Age of Ultron because it made sense for her. Wanda suddenly using reality stone powers makes no sense. Maybe theres something I’m missing but the movie version of her character should only be using mind altering abilities. If she instead got her powers from the reality stone I think her reality bending abilities would make more sense. This is why rewriting the MCU is very fun. You find plot holes everywhere. Also her brothers powers make no sense either, why would you get super speed from the stone? Unless it enhances a certain aspect of yourself into a power.

Had they kept the racial comments in the adaptation, the series would have been cancelled so hard, you would not have made this video.

as a trans person, i think almost every trans joke i see sucks. wish some of these bigots would quiet down so i can find the good stuff

Also you pretty much nail in the coffin proved that it's exactly like the Big Bang Theory. I can tell I would learn more from Yu-Gi-Oh.

Black won and then White complained and Black massaged its ego. No this just convinced me to not watch the show. The criticism argument was far stronger and more persuasive than the justification.

Wandavision: its nice to give an avenger with little screentime a main role so we can see her grow and learn to move on from her grievance- Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness: OH MY GOD I DONT F$%KING CARE

Best tv/film analyses I've seen on youtube in quite some time!

I really really hated the anime when I watched it, I went and check for what I wrote about it and it was pretty much "casting the same people was a mistake, it feels that it wants to please but it's not clear whom, feels forced and it's awful, I hated it, I will not tell others to not watch it but yes I hate it, it feels like bad fan-fiction, pretends to be self critical but not really, totally unnecessary"

I do find it kinda funny how it is completely ignored/not considered that the show removes the book's predatory lesbian trope and then proceeds to tie the main character's every vice to her lesbian moment. That's just exchanging a rotten trope for a less bad but still bad idea. All that interesting analysis, completely ignored by this analysis video

I want this video to go on forever

Shoutout Arrival. One of those rare sci-fi blockbusters that doesn’t have planet lasers or alien armies, we just get people cracking codes.

I Iove it when Miranda asks, " Where is that piece of paper I had in my hand yesterday?
