7:24 I NEVER NOTICED THAT 💀💀💀

These power questions are things I havent been able to stop thinking about while playing this game. Especially when batman does inverted take downs and leaves people hanging. People DIE like that. What part of his no killing prophecy isnt entirely self serving when he is willing to do everything else to a person to get to what he wants. He uses torturous intimidation methods for interrogation, he leave people out for dead, but that's fine. But when joker dies out of his OWN series of actions (taking Titan, fucking around with it and the cure and then STABBING THE HAND BATMAN HELD IT IN) THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE TO BE SAD? Theres no clearer way of saying batman will only care about the deaths of relevant people. The other question I have is why tf some of these people are even in asylums and not prisons like poison ivy who isnt mentally fucking ill. Shes just NOT HUMAN. what the fuck do you think shed be like😭

Best superhero game

Not bringing back david for the soundtrack was certainly a mistake. I dont get the appeal of rift aparts music it sounds like generic crappy marvel music

Pretentious ahh title

What's the purpose of the quiet rage video in the middle of the video?

I can't wait to rewatch the tetralogy (especially 4) with "I wish I could always be with you" in mind!

"The heart within" more like The Friend Inside.

THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS I started watching this 2 weeks ago and I’m coming back to it now to finish and it’s not blown up yet??? Omg

What are your thoughts on Toy Story of terror?

For me this film came out a few years before i was off to uni so having it as a reminder to not forget the items that made my childhood magical but also to be open to letting someone else experience that same joy in another gen. I understand how quick we are to call next gen cringe or out of touch, but they have more similarities than we give them any credit for.

The master of KZbin

I love Arkham Asylum, but I agree that it missing patients is a serious flaw. But who the heck cares whether the game has enough non-white women. That's not a real criticism.

Agreed with everything, especially about Cassandra Cain

You gave me an even better appreciation for animation with this one. Thank you so much for that

Fantastic video as always. Really enjoyed your analysis of the incinerator and its narrative contribution especially. I'm super excited for the final 3 but at the same time also a bit sad it's coming to an end. Has been an amazing journey and your dive into pixar's filmography is one of my favorite series I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying on this platform. Your blend of critical and personal input informing your critique is uniquely awesome.

This channel is way too underrated to be producing video essays of this calibre! I’m eagerly anticipating this channel blowing up. Just binged your entire Pixar series for the past few days.

Toy Story 3 feels like an Anti-Nostalgia, nostalgic film it was made for people who grew with the first two films while also acknowledging the younger generation who didn't.

The best toy story

Really appreciated you bringing up how Coco in many ways was a bit of the first dig into the trend Pixar would tap into with making personal near-autobiographical works like with Luca, Turning Red and even Onward to an extent. It would even be felt in some of the sparkshorts they made for D+ given their own extremely personal spins. Adrian Molina in general has some amazing contributions with his storyboard work across the films he's been on that, personally speaking, carry a ton of heart. On the other hand, I'm extremely cautious of Elio with this autobiographical slant given how Molina has left the project with Domee Shi from Turning Red and Madeline Sharafian from Burrow taking the reigns. Going by recent interviews with some employees both current and past, it seems like some major issues happened during production that stem mostly from story, which is such a shame considering how personal these recent films have been. What's so off about this is the general vibe of these interviews stating that the story changes are a result of the reception given to recent releases that had autobiographical elements and their instances of LGBT+ rep which is... concerning. Molina himself is a queer Mexican-American man and Elio since early press info has been described in similar airs to how Luca, Turning Red and Onward all were based off of fairly personal experiences the directors went through during childhood.

Watching this from college with my buddy Angel Pup. Amazing work as always! 💜

how do people (KZbinrs upload footage from the movie)?? how do u do it? whenever I try to screen record it just Blake's out and also nice video u deserve more subs

just finished my legal research homework and sitting down to watch this knowing full well I'll be more than sobbing at the end, so excited to watch this! Edit: just finished, and the cut to Andy's empty room did it for me, I just started crying. I think there is really something beautiful about the most emotional resonant piece of that movie being so quiet for me

started watching this as i was waking up and even in a still tired groggy state the second you showed footage of the goodbye scene i felt a tear in my eye. that ending means so much to me and anytime i play it in its entirety (something i do way too much) i cant stop myself from crying its such a powerful scene to me and is something that will always stick with me. i'm so glad you did this series so i can remember to cry a few million more times.

It’s this one thing that got me trippin

Love your perspectives on these films!

Excellent video, as always. I've been apprehensive to watch Toy Story 3 despite growing up with the first two simply because I had the main plot points spoiled during opening week and figured it wouldn't hit as hard. You've convinced me to give it a go as you detailed all of the many layers to this film besides the millennial nostalgia in the ending.

peak as always! With these last 3 I honestly think anything could go, just like you said when you got in the top 5 (or was it 10?) though if I had to choose a personal one among these (though my favourite has always been Wall-E) it would be Toy Story 2

Funnily enough, I wish I could watch this series forever. Very glad I found your channel.

Thank you, Michael Edwins

2:12:26 would make sense if scarecrow didn’t exist. Sure the game has no people and only revolves around one man but the man in question dresses as a bat, beats up on thugs, and constantly thinks himself as belonging in this same hospital. Batman doesn’t think he’s deserving of being alive or without being incarcerated in the equivalent of hell. You assume the world building is fucked because it covers extreme comic book vibes with a serious undertone of mental illness left untreated. So why stop at the game and not any other book or video game??? Because it isn’t saying mental illness is horrible and should be eradicated but rather that it can be saved, that’s why Batman still saves thugs and villains. But the fault of Batman isn’t that he can’t kill or save them so much as it’s that he can’t save them from purgatory. He can only really save himself by sticking to the path. He’s also bound to let the law do its job in which case the people of Gotham are to blame. Batman spits on Quincy Sharps notion, maybe not audibly, but through actions he takes throughout the game. Batman has to face dark reflections and conquer them but the flaw of Batman is that he believes it to be a solo task. If you read the book Arkham Asylum a serious house on serious earth, it covers Batman basically enduring hell. in order to escape the hell he has to let people help him mainly Harvey dent. Harvey, who has been worked onto tarot cards instead of the coin, is given that coin back by Batman which threatens to undo the work set out by the doctors. But Harvey saves him by his own accord as it’s revealed that he didn’t obey the coin at all. Batman is also seen as an evil by the current warden in the book who describes how he simply sends them to a place, WHeRE THERE SUPPOSED to BE TREATED, as a bad thing despite Batman having to work around the clock at night to fucking protect Gotham. It’s much the same here where Batman is seemingly an annoyance to Sharp despite his being the “legacy bearer”. Hell after sharp is found out he begs Batman to do it. Now all this to say while it doesn’t tackle the people at the asylum very well or at all. To say that it’s somehow Batman’s fault for his power trip is a disservice to how terrible of a day this actually is for Batman. Because despite Batman being “ overpowered “ in combat and Stealth it actually isn’t the case given him being unable to save lots of people or even believing he can stop the joker. The world building is good, it might not be tasteful to you but this baffling depiction of its obscene and horrible take on mental illness as “ an evil” (which by the way doesn’t exist as a truth but a fallacy in the game). Is a disservice to the actual message that it gives.

You used to do something utterly fascinating to me, through the usage of video chapter titles, or timestamps. The titles and timestamps you used to include always added so much to the consumption of your videos for me, and those short little phrases have stuck with me ever since your video on Batman: Arkham Asylum. One day, I hope to see you continue using this subtle talent. Great video!!

the Amount of Memes spawned from Monsters Inc? it´s honestly been the Most memeable Pixar Movie of all time, from mike with Sully´s Face on it to YOUR GREEN WITH IT it´s just amazing.

These are such thorough in-depth analysis man. It’s so well versed and informative. Great work man, honestly. It has been a while since I immerse myself in Pixar, a studio I like very much. Thanks!

Now that Arkham Shadow is out oh how I wish to pick his brain on what he thinks abt it

This video made me very happy. There's something I always liked about this movie ~ And I think you articulate it beautifully.

For Moses

I play arkham city whenever im sick so i can feel represented as a coughing badass who drinks his blue nyquil after fighting clay monsters in old movie theaters

Stumbled across this video after hard binging on some pretty venomous material declaring the insurmountable excellence of the PS2 era over everything thereafter, and I'm absolutely blown away. I love the music of this video; I love the pacing; the thoughtfulness behind the reflecting voice; I love how you pose the characters in such a way that makes their endearing yet noirish melancholy shine through, and take us through gorgeous environments on foot at walking pace in addition to showing your command over the core mechanics. When I actually first played this game, as a diehard fan of the PS2 era and absoolutely nothing after, I was so disappointed that it had gone further down the route of Pixar-esque child-friendly animation rather than the abrasive, snarky, anti-capitalist-but-who-actually-cares approach of the earliest games. Yet your enthusiasm for the new characters ("she's so *kind*") and love for the sheer human effort and care that has gone into this title - as well as the entire series - is honestly humbling. I'll never see a game, nor possibly any other piece of art, without hearing a little echo of this video's uncynical voice, decentring me from my own ideas of what I want it to be and highlighting the journey taken through each work of art through many creative stages to reach something whole, coherent, flawed, and different in each separate iteration. I love the bite of the closing remarks, too - a little tough love, and a call to return to the emotional highs that a series with this much emotional (as well as literal) firepower should absolutely be aiming for. Love it, love you, great job.

Idk man. The Good Dinosaur might have been a bit mid imo, but the scene with the two of them and the sticks? It makes me cry every time.

Oh, this was my favorite movie when i was younger, the ending even made me cry, i have so much nostalgia now

They walked so spear and fang could run

I've watched this movie over and over and over when i was a child,i appreciate it soo much but since everybody else says its mid i... Didn't watch it as often

I actually like this movie. The cowboy T-Rexes are a lot of fun!

you uploading this video means alot to me, im so glad someone is pointing out the true beauty of this movie. i have always been into paleontology, since i was young, and when this movie came out my family bought me a DVD the moment they hit the shelves; i watched this movie so much the DVD began to fall apart. alro meant so much to me, ive always been an odd individual in my family; im awkward and lanky and dont understand my body or emotions; my hardest is barely enough. i have generalized anxiety disorder and symptoms began showing when i was 8, i was terrified of everything around me, of pain, of failure, of not being good enough. watching alro change, grow, but still realistically be his lanky, anxious self, just a bit more resilient, means everything to younger and older me. it reminds me that even though i still feel cowardly, patheitc, and so forth, im still growing and getting more resilient with the days. i can still be me, just learn to handle it a bit better. i also thought this movie was breathtaking, absolutely gorgeous. the scenery, the lighting, the clouds, the *water*, i love how the water looks in this movie, how everything looks. the artistic style in this movie genuinely does so much for it, because it feels so raw, so truthful. thank you for this video, i am so sick of seeing people slander a movie that means everything to my heart. thank you for understanding how much this movie means to people like you, people like me.

A Crack in Time had post story Ckank recording puzzles? What? Where? When you finish the game you get the option of New game plus or time warping back... How do you access these extra missions?

Thank you for actually caring for this movie. This film broke and still breaks me. It really is an underrated masterpiece

I am so relieved to finally, after TEN YEARS, see a positive review of this movie. Ever since I saw this film in theaters it has stayed with me and held a very special place in my heart. This, along with Finding Nemo, is my favorite Pixar film that they've ever made. I just adore the beauty of the greater Yellowstone landscape, the topsy turvy idea of dinosaurs being the dominant species (with humans being more like animals), the whole Western flair to the setting, and just simply watching the incredible change that comes over Arlo as he grows and fights to survive in the wilderness. What a marvelous example of a coming of age story. Truly a unique film full of wonder, danger, and beauty (just like nature). I will never stop loving it, and all this time I've felt like I've been taking crazy pills because EVERYONE else around me just wants to dogpile on this movie for some reason. How can they not see what I see? It's honestly strange to me. I guess it goes to show how differently all of our brains are wired though. Where one person sees one thing, another person sees something else.

If you have actually read batman comics… turn off this video. It’s a horrid misunderstanding of Batman mythos and a forced allegory towards mental illness that is not only forced but completely misunderstands almost every Batman character in the game
