Hey man, would you be interested in coming on the walky talky podcast as a guest to talk attack on Titan? We would love to have you!

Basically what went wrong with JJK

the endunununuh ? thanks

What I love so much about Erwin is that he is about as human and realistic as it get, while being unbelivable badass and 100% committed. He was also basically the first to be taken out in both of his charges. Also, real life leaders with simular personalities like Erwin have an tendency of being a bully and extremly revengeful, but Erwin is neither. Erwin realized genious when he saw it, and he gave alot of goofy, un-diciplined and "bully victim" type characters alot of power (like Hangie, Armin and Miche. People who real life Erwin like leaders would paint as weak)

Another peak channel has been added to my collection.

Dude that was beautiful. Your breakdown was flawless, and I won't be the first person to say that Erwin Smith is one of the greatest badasses in literature history. If you can find a character that plays the role of antagonistic foil for the main character I'd love to see it. I remember seeing a lot of that in Thanos but he'd already matured into the big villain by that point

DAMN, WHAT DID NICK SAY… Also amazing advice

He became my favorite character during the chase of Rainer and Berthold, he is not perfect but has a lot od conviction.

that is NOT erwin in the thumbnail. looks like levi and nanaba had an affair

9:37 - I definitely agree with that.

I love the insights and the jokes! Nice viedeo.

Maybe BoJack horseman foil characters? Although that horse is very easy to hate on its own right lol, and many of the side characters as well ha.

Been looking forward to this one for awhile thank you!! Please keep it up love your videos.

Though if Erwin serves as the setup / foreshadowing for Eren's parallel character arc down the line, can he really be called a foil character? Isn't a foil someone who ideologically opposes the protagonist and is supposed to be overcome / proven wrong?

Nah where are the views and subs dude this is too less for the quality contents u make

this channel is underrated

Great work man, keep it coming

I'm usually not the kind of guy to say this but I really like your voice a lot. I'm subscribed

"Aaaand feeling of inadequacy" 😏😎 we've all been there bud...or are still there

Sounds cool, what show is this?

well put thank you for your perspective

Thank you I definitely needed this for my massive graphic novel that is in the works. 👍 Definitely saving this vid on my playlist

A like and a comment are the best ways to support the channel! 🙏

"you boys and one girl"?? are you talking to me or do you know your usual viewers lmao

the only reason i don't send this channel to my friends is because of unhinged/gross memes/clips, but otherwise you are PEAK PEAK PEAK and all you do is WIN WIN WIN. i love this channel because (and especially with this video) you are saying my thoughts, but you clarify and elaborate upon them and rizz up youtube with informational and hyper-real analysis. thanks for this! (i'ma straight girl btw so ofc i haven't actually approached a girl :eye_roll:)

People actually think that character driver stories are ALWAYS better than plot driver stories. Most of Christopher Nolan's films (except for the Dark Knight and probably Oppenheimer) are plot heavy. Most of his films are heavy on expositions. But that does not mean his films are inferior.

Too bad S2 is really disappointing and poorly paced :(

What about theme driven stories? I understand that there were at least three types of storytelling, these being those that touch on ideas and subjects.

jayce and Vis story overlap before jinx lew up the council vi blew up his apartment, getting him arrested and meeting viktor ekko also met jayce before season 2 he tailed jayce after jayce went and bought a bunch of stuff from the undercity, saw he was rich and told vi about it setting everything into motion

Ok but Victor going off starting a cult and becoming Jesus was based though ngl.

I feel many modern shows fall into the trap of trying to tell too much with the time they have available, specially western shows. The Dragon prince made the same mistake in seasons 4 and 5 (after an outstanding season 3). Maybe it has to do with how western shows are produced and the Netflix factor of not knowing if they will be there for a season 3... I cannot see a western studio making something like Frieren or Vinland Saga, that goes slow and many would even say is boring (it isn't, well, maybe Vinland Saga s02 is a little boring). Some shows feel like you are watching a Tik Tok feed, switching storylines every 45 seconds. And that's exhausting.

Amazon had nothing to do with Arcane, that show is on Netflix. Also,I think it is better to have a clear ending and not blow up a show with many seasons of just filler episodes like so often done these days, that then never get resolved because the show gets cancelled.

I think "Man tries to keep people off his property after cutting down his fence." Is one of my favorite ways ive heard god of war described.

I would argue that it is not a case of "two opposing types of story telling." Character focused stories that aren't too rigorous with plot aren't like that because being character focused means that you _can't_ be plot focused, it just means that being character focused with a sloppy plot is _enough_ to be enjoyable by an audience. This also applies vice versa The reason that Arcane is a cut above so much other fiction is because the writers actually took the time to properly plan out the story and flesh out both the characters and the plot to be gripping and completely intertwined. It stands out because not many stories manage to do that when It's simply a lot easier to focus on either plot or characters as opposed to both and still have a good enough result at the end of the day. That ease just makes it very common not to fully engage both at once. However, that isn't necessarily to say that stories focused on either or are lazily written, just that it isn't actually a case two different, incompatible aproaches, but is rather a case of what authors bother to put effort into

Arcane is a masterclass in writing a good story in the beginning, then running it down in the ending.

This comment is a sacrifice for the algorithm

Have you watch Games of throne? You can care for all the characters. All deeply layered and complex

Happy 1 year anniversary!!! 🎉

You should also make videos about Oshi no ko because it has some wonderful writing

Arcane is on Netflix not Amazon.

Okay. Now what about if I HAVE to but still don’t wanna?

PLEASE MAKE A VID ON WRITING CLIFFHANGERS LIKE AOT

"Why does Mel exist?" lol brutal, but accurate. Could have been so much more interesting with more runtime.

I personally related to Jynx because of Powder’s core motivation. What does powder want? To serve and help Violet, to be useful and make her big sister and brothers proud. Powder is desperate for love and approval for validation and a feeling of being useful. Problem being she tries to help and accidentally hurts everyone. She is a 10 year old orphan so can’t blame her for too much. Just the part where she didn’t listen and stay behind. But who at that age listened to much of anything? And what is Jynx’s core motivation in season 1? To help Silko and make him proud. It’s the same motivation but with a different person. When Silko dies he isn’t angry or anything he just tells her she’s perfect. Thusly fixing that mental issue. She didn’t have to prove anything or be useful or help him he loved her unconditionally she just couldn’t see it until after he was dead. What is Jynx’s motivation in season 2? To stop being Jynx and to protect Isha. Someone who she loves and who loves her each purely for its own sake. A mutual love and respect for its own sake. Point is who hasn’t done something they regret? Who hadn’t struggled with their own insecurities? Who hasn’t taken someone for granted and only sees how much they had after that person dies?

I really enjoy your voice! (Tone and perspective!) I do think I found I cared for Mel and why I was invested in her was centered around her brother. Which- sadly didn’t have a real concrete conclusion. Which was to your point. Same with Ambessa. I enjoyed her backstory music video- whether to die or fight back. Not just for herself- but her unborn child.

Nothing is enchanting as throwing you and your imaginary (or real) friend in the story.

that comment on mel was not only inaccurate but also uncalled for😭 the fact that her character arc in relation to jayce ends pretty quickly doesn't mean her character isn't deep. there's plenty of multi layered conflict between her and ambessa, her attachment to keeno and attitude towards her general legacy as a medarda. i cant see why you would say her character isnt deep or is stale

It's interesting that because of your video i realized why i started liking Jayce after hating him for most of the series. It was because on ep 9 he finally shows how deeply he cares about Viktor. No pride, no stupid decisions, just an act of selfless love for someone he cares about at the point he is okay to die just to not leave Viktor. "i thought i wanted to bring magic to the world, now the only thing i want is to have my partner back" Here's when he got me. Edit: And Mel...yeah. She's gorgeous and all but even her arc with her mother feels too shallow to care about her at all. The only thing i like about her is that she killed Maddie lmao. Besides that she is just infuriating on s1 for how much she tries (ans succeeds) to manipulate that dumbasss Jayce. On s2 she is...idk, kinda meh? I really hope the writers work better on her as she will surely be important for the Noxus series. I can't stand her being this bland.
