interesting as always

When i saw Avengers Endgame I wanted an OG Hellicarrier vs Thanos Space ship showoff that ended in the Hellicarrier raming the Thanos Space ship

since it seems the full video will never survive the youtube strike system, I will have to do with this incredibly interesting video essay instead. Incredibly fascinating excerpt as always :)

I like how Disney seems to have absolutely no clue how to save the mcu while the fckn whole internet is full of one big opinion, why mcu fans hate the new kind of marvel movies ..

Paul is a hero, if they wanted him to be a villain they should have wrote him like that.

When can we expect the full review?

You can see that the mcu was created by men who were marvel fans, when they were young. And now the bosses of the mcu are feminists 😅

4:36 Johnathan Majors' outburst just proves some people think playing characters on screen somehow helps 'their people,' all while boosting their own egos.

The Force don't always work like That!

Dude, Stop blaming the Jedis besides Dave Filoni was such a Moron, Wallahi!

Paul isn't a Hero. He is no villain either. He is indeed an anti-hero. The guy who becomes a monster or starts to go down a monstrous path because it is necessary for the good of humanity. He still serves humanity, in becoming what is necessary and that is, in his case just not the good guy. Much like Kain in the Legacy of Kain series. Both of them refuse the necessary sacrifice. For different reasons but with the same intended outcome. All to give the world the bitter taste of that terrible illusion; Hope.

you did well

Blackwidow was awesome... we all love her sexuality is a power shes is deadly yes sir depth to her character full range I loved her

The personalities suck and the female characters are mostly bringing there politics and who they are instead of playing the character studios allowing this shit is losing money

Joseph Campbell was an absolute treasure. His talks are still amazing today. Watch his stuff on rights of passage. Amazing.

And people wounder why everyone hates her.

I love Marvel Comics, but I hate Marvel movies. The comics have drama, but the movies only have stupid quips.

To be fair, the White US government hunted the bison nearly to extinction just to force the Plains Indians onto reservation under threat of starvation. It was not the Plains Indians who caused the near extinction of bison.

41:00 I think he was onto something...

What **REPEATEDLY** baffles me is that these “directors,” “actors,” and “content creators” here in the third decade of the TWENTY FIRST CENTURY **actually** seem to BELIEVE that “female empowerment” in Mary Sue characters lacking any dramatic tension or characterological struggles or flaws is a NEW, “INNOVATIVE” phenomenon in Hollywood films…..It is *stunning* that a privileged, seriously overpaid actor with little to zero contact with the workaday, 8-to-6 reality most of us inhabit can *un-ironically* think “their” (sic) mere “representative” presence in a *Marvel* film does ANYTHING AT ALL substantive toward rectifying real inequality and other social problems endemic in the real world from which Hollywood does all it can to insulate “them.”

I have a request, Platoon…Could you give your lovely voice the task of covering Death Cab’s “I’ll Follow You Into the Dark”? Think of it as a paean for all of us who’ve lost so much, we’ve vowed never, *never* to let our supercilious, insouciant masks slip again for sentiment…

Radiohead too?!?!?!? Wow. You do pleasantly surprise one, Little Platoon…

I am seldom “sincere,” yet just this once, Platoon, I have to say this is truly a beautiful rendition of one of my childhood favourite songs….If, perchance, you ever performed near me, I could quite possibly feel motivated to put down my copy of *PARADISE LOST* (teaching it in my seminar this fall); get my languid self moving about; and attend. You are, delightfully surprisingly, worth it!

They just need to write the women the same way they would men. And men the same way they would write woman. The problem I see if them still filtering everything through binary gender roles.

This was fantastic. It almost makes me forgive you for referring to American football as “gay rugby” in the Echo video. I have been trying to come up with a similar label for SOCCER but so far the best I’ve been able to do is “gay lacrosse.” Not a perfect comparison, but feel free to let me know if you can think of something better. Also, please sing more.

Isn't being a villain under the criteria of "on purpose" ?

Is Not Real Marvel Anime Girl.

Randomly remembered this cover and wanted to hear it again. Would love to hear more songs from him.

i stopped watching after endgame

Platoon is such a gem in this grim post truth world, I think I'm falling in love with this man and I'm straight!

These are even more interesting than the movie reviews.

To say that Paul Atreides is NOT a hero is just as bad and as wrong as those who say he is a hero. The truth is, both sides can be argued and he's somewhere in between. He has moments of absolutely amazing heroism and moments of the opposite. To sum it all up as simply either being a hero or NOT being a hero is totally simplistic thinking as is trying to categorize & label him (either "hero" or "not a hero"), that's also a sign of simplistic, narrow thinking.

It's a joke you're making, correct?

Captain Marvel is PG-13 Homelander

I will say the first book is perhaps a little bit too subtle at times with Paul, and the ending is very triumphant. I can see why the movie changed Chani to be much more skeptical, and Paul to lay it on thick that he's the duke and the son of Leto. It could make a smoother transition to Doon Messiah

How the hell did they do the strong female protagonist so perfectly well with black widow, then screwed up every subsequent attempt they made? They had already created a perfect model for these characters and then just threw it away.

Kamala is the only one I give a pass to. She’s an actual fan and u can hear her try and say she didn’t care about representation. She truly loves the comics but to young have a choice like Henry Cavil did

The siren song of the tyrrant is ways to concentrate power in the state "for the greater good".

Wrong, nerd.

I don’t care if you are reviewing a movie or not. I would happily listen to you talk about political philosophy for hours on end, typically agreeing with you, occasionally screaming at my phone about how wrong you are about some nitpick or another. thank you for all the excellent material.

Meh, I think you missed out on the point. The danger of messiahs was one of many lessons Herbert was trying to convey. In fact, only Dune Messiah was based on that message. Dune itself wasn't, and neither were Children of Dune or God Emperor of Dune. Paul was the hero of Dune, and he was even the her of Dune Messiah. He was the warrior hero in Dune for obvious reasons, but in Dune Messiah, Paul sacrificed himself so that his children's future would be ensured. He didn't have to walk into the desert, blind, but he did it for his children's sake. Sacrifice makes a hero, and Paul sacrificed everything.

It's not that "The MCU has a Woman Problem!" It has a bad writing for The Woman of the MCU Problem.

I get not liking Brea Larson but the marvels wasn’t as bad as people said… it’s very mid but not horrible

Denis Vjnyuuuuh 😂

Not seeing the point of this video. Paul's journey is more the Raglan model than the Campbell formula... Okay. And? Love Little Platoon's stuff but this one is lost on me.

ironheart? that's almost stupider than she-hulk attorney at law.

she hulk attorney at law. that's the actual name of the movie. if that isn't the lamest name for comic book movie I've yet to come across. sign me up to watch that! I'll pay in advance.

should be called phase bore, not four.

it is called the M-She-U now.

so bad it's certainly not worth writing or watching a review explaining how bad it is.
