[@techmast6920]

I just want to take a moment and say… Alex, you’ve been a huge inspiration to me! I don’t make movies or write scripts (not yet, at least), but watching you makes me believe that I can be better. That there is a way out of loneliness, anger and suffering. I am kind of shy to even write this, but seeing you open yourself up a bit, makes me less afraid. Watching you over the years, seeing your empathy towards filmmakers, listening to how you talk about art and how meaningful the art is to oneself… it resonates with me and inspires me. Hell, even this comment’s writing style is in a way inspired by your speech. Thank you so much for being here, for sharing this, and for making us… feel! I wish you (and everyone reading this) all the best! ❤️

[@StoryStreet]

I've been watching for about four years now, and I think seeing you grow through these videos has been a massive part of my own growth over the last four years. Not just as a prospective storyteller, not just as a KZbinr, but as a person. You and Loverboy have done so much to affect the way I engage with art and stories and through that, how I engage with myself and others, and I can't thank either of you enough for that. So excited for Jason and whatever comes after ❤

Thank you buddy! It goes both way. ❤️

[@enzonoire]

Every video you make hits harder than the last one. Since I finished high school, since I started to going though strong moments in my life all I wanted to do is create something like the films I use to see, something meaningful and relatable for the people that is going through the same problems that we all are. But until this day, it's very hard to me to even grab a camera, I know what I would like to do, but I don't have the courage for start doing something, too shy to even look at the people's eyes. For that reason I've never found a group of people that share the same passion as I do, so until I stop being alone in this, I think I will rest that dream for a while. Hopefuly, one day, I will be able to have the courage to reach that dream. Thank you for sharing your experience for those who feel incapable of doing things. Just like you said, "the irony of lonelines is that we all share it".

[@PrincessUbiquitous]

(Cringe warning) Dear Mr. Films, Thank you for this video. This may sound ridiculously hyperbolic and/or parasocial, but I genuinely cannot articulate how valuable seeing this kind of earnest vulnerability from the man who first awakened my love of analysis, art and storytelling is to me. Your work is a testament to the power of the connections we form with the art we love, and how truly beautiful that art can be. Being eighteen and angry myself, the poetic lyricism of your art and willingness to introspect through it is a breath of fresh air amongst a sea of apathy, and I believe that sentiment is shared by many others too. In the face of modern fears and tragedies, it has become all the more essential to pursue the light, for all humanity. So, I suppose what I'm truly attempting to convey within this emotionally smothering comment is that your art is valuable, and that I look forward to seeing the rest of your story unfold. The art we create gives us purpose, and ultimately fulfillment, and that joy of creation is something we're both pursuing. Take care of yourself, and keep creating 💙💖 - A wild trains gorl

You know man, I’ve never watched a video with as much passion as yours have. The first video of yours I ever saw was The Batman Forever video. It was just awesome to find someone else who shared my opinions on a movie I loved from my childhood. You’ve completely the changed the ways I take in media. You’ve added to my enjoyment for the last three years now. You’re an awesome guy and I appreciate every video you make man. I’ve had dreams of writing whether it be comics or movie scripts, and it’s nice to know there are some people out there chasing their realest dreams.

[@officialmonarchmusic]

This can't have come out at a more perfect time for me. I'm filming my first short film with my friends who are completely inexperienced actors and shooting the scenes in strange ways, with no knowledge of whether it can look good in the edit or not. It's scary. I just got all of the files off of my camera, so I haven't seen what I've done yet, but this video gave me hope. This video showed me that it doesn't matter, that I CAN make it work, that no amateur shooting can take away the art

I know this is kind of an older video, but I just wanted to say Thank You Alex. I remember when I was 7 - 8 years old watching your Batman Should Not Kill video, and I hated you. I think it was because you were saying my favorite Batman, Batman 89, should not kill. I was closed minded as any young kid is, now I’m 14, and in two months, will be 15. You are the biggest inspiration in my life right now. I have arguments with my parents because I want to be a director, and they think it’s unrealistic. But it’s not. I know it’s not. You showed this to me. I was actually thinking about giving up, just was gonna get a normal 9-5, but then I watched this. And now I’m up till 2 in the morning writing scripts on a school night.

Wow, this video really hits a nerve for me, and I found myself in tears by the end of it, you made me cry bro. Your story and message hit home, and I remembered a promise, it's not the first time, it won't be the last, I've been a loyal viewer and following your channel for the past six years, as someone who had a rough childhood, I can relate to the struggles you've faced, I'm no stranger to depression, but I've learned to pick myself up in the darkest moments, I recently lost all of my personal journals filled with ideas and stories, fell again into a depressive almost suicidal state and was giving up on my creative pursuits, the loss left me feeling defeated, unmotivated to start projects and creative endeavors like the ones you do, screenplays and things like that, I've been dwelling on this for 11 days since then, and I've slowly started rebuilding myself. Your video right here accelerated that process and has given me a renewed sense of purpose.The promise I made was to always remember my inner voice, my story, the memories fuel my creative fire, sheer will. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey with us. Furthermore, I get the feeling I'm not the only one you've helped tremendously.

I’ve also recently gone through a breakup with who I thought to be the love of my life just to be cheated on after five years of being together. Emotions suck, man. Feelings are so hard.

I would love to see your takes on literally any piece of film, anything you make is something I will watch.

Things seem to come back in full circle. Your story echoes my own. I was fortunate to have every creature comfort provided to me by my Mom, but she was distant. She is a doctor and she was always working, always exhausted. I found art, music, comedy, comics, and I identified with Jason and the outcasts and misfits. I'm at a point in my life where I'm re-evaluating my relationships, my image I cast towards others. I saw my therapist last week and this came up. I wish you luck on your project and dreams and thank you for being vulnerable. I hope to share something like that with the world. Godspeed!

Call it cheesy, but I absolutely needed to hear this. You have been one of my go to KZbinrs for inspiration as of recently. As a fellow inspiring filmmaker, I often have moments of creative drought and wonder if I’m good enough. Your words have helped me gain not only some creative inspiration, but motivation to help inspire not only myself but others. Thank you for everything you do and best of luck for whatever you do next

[@ΗλίαςΛιόφαγος-χ7ω]

Never been prouder to be a fan of this project and your videos, mam u made me cry and think back to trauma... damn u will be the next great storyteller..

[@DylanTheVylan27]

If it means anything, you are my Batman.

[@PennyLane-wc3iq]

This brought me to tears. I've been with you ever since "Batman Doesn't Kill" and always look forward to your creations. Hearing your story has brought it to another level. Thank you.

[@seanamaso2091]

This was beautiful, man. You're videos always move me in some way. I can always feel the passion and love you put into all of your videos. I actually needed this. I'm trying to create stories of my own, but I always feel like it will never be good enough, that I can't help someone with my stories, but watching this reminds me that I can do it. Thank you so much for expressing yourself, for being authentic. Thank you.

[@Bl4stinoff2outerspace]

You can do it!

[@thecringeexterminationservice]

This video came at the perfect time for me. I just started a KZbin channel that is an arg story thing, to complicated to explain in a yt comment on an alt account, but right now I’m not at the storytelling part yet but this video helps me keep going.

[@Exclusivesadblues]

Your loneliness is why I love you ❤️ You understand Man ❤

[@omegaswiper]

The problem with this video is how raw it makes you wanna see more of this and then we get superheroes again. This is better than a cape feeling.

[@ElizabethReese-n9t]

I do really relate to the idea of not wanting to be yourself. It helps that I'm trans, but putting that aside I've often wrestled with guilt and a feeling of unfairness for how my life has gone. It's honestly kind of amazing just how much I relate to this video. Obviously not the specifics, but the points and emotions you touch on are really relatable. I also find comfort in stories and characters and finding ways of processing parts of myself through them. Most of the stories I come up with are just different pieces of myself if I'm being honest. Thank you so much for being an amazing creator. You honestly remind me that there are people out there who are trying to say something and express themselves without some veneer of either cynicism or toxic optimism. Love your content and I can't wait to see what you make next!

[@yosefayega]

This is probably my favourite video from you. As someone who always feels too embarrassed to talk about his hopes, dreams, past, whatever, it feels nice seeing someone being able to be open about himself in such a way that we can all connect with him. This video really made me feel something

[@man-sc1us]

I’m in awe after finishing the video I’ll support Jason with my hundred twenty percent now that I see the full picture. The true meaning behind everything 🙂 Thank you for sharing Alex

[@mamama6375]

I've been watching this channel ever since I stumbled upon "Batman does not kill". I absolutely love your script writing, editing and the level of expression you possess. I admire your genuine passion for superheroes which act as a beacon of hope not only for the fictional people in distress but also us, the audience. Keep going man! I'm with ya all the way!

[@MiguelGonzalez-sl5hw]

This video is really helpful Alex! I’ve watched your videos since 2018 and they got me to pursue my passions. I’m currently trying to be a self employed jeweler and it’s been difficult because of rent. I’m still holding out hope that I can achieve this. I’m still rooting for you man, because your so worth it!

[@The_Explorer_Slash]

wow! first time being first! 😊

[@josh-qj2zu]

I can’t lie, I’ve been watching this channel for a while now, and have been feeling like I’ve been falling out of it. As you’ve said before, around a year ago you started feeling that MCU tales weren’t fun anymore, and as much as I want to say that your quality didn’t dip, it was noticeable. Outside of your absolutely amazing Batman forever videos, Spider-Man 2 videos, most of your videos headed toward a steep decline of basically repeating the same thing over and over again. As I got more and more caught up in the sea of twitter and ideas that things have to have a purpose I felt that your videos weren’t as informative as before, and while you had so much passion and love, I also knew that it wasn’t the content I was really looking for as a filmmaker. But I think that’s the point. I’m 2021 I was in my lowest point, suffering through major depression and almost killed myself. It was around this time where I started writing blogs, not to educate, but to vent, to specify a feeling, and that was all. I wanted an excuse to talk about me but I had to hide behind the mask of media that other people liked so that they would read my stuff. And while I’ve changed my writing and grown, I think that want to express myself remains there. So, thank you, Alex, for reminding me of that expression, reminding me that not everything has to teach something, but can instead express a feeling.

[@dominickhicks9318]

Alex I started watching your videos about Titans but what kept me watching was your love for all of it. Your critiques weren’t out of hate for what they failed to accomplish it was out of love for what it could be and who the characters were to you. Without giving you a full life story I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs and I do have faith (Christian if you’re wondering.) but honestly it helps so incredibly much that someone knows what that’s like, I have even been attempting for years to make my own stories but I haven’t gotten them right yet and I’ve thought of just giving them to someone else because I’m not good enough. But your honesty just helped me to realize that I can’t quit telling my stories just because it’s hard. To wrap up all of that into two words, Thanks Alex. I can’t wait to see your stories and I hope to see more videos like this on the channel because it’s honest and it helps to know someone else is out there.

[@calebpendleton9056]

Alex you are extremely talented. And you’re a blessing! Glad that you are using you gift and talents for good. I love all of your videos, and even though we’ve never met, I love you man! And I hope all is well. Don’t give up on what you do!

[@mattyswish]

Alex we around the same age and I’ve loved your videos for years. You the best in the biz. Thanks for always uploading relevant videos. And thank you for being so open with us. We got your back king

[@kennethlaurie7809]

Watching this again a year on whenever i fall I'll watch this moving personal video to help myself and share with others to pick ourselves up.

[@tomasoliveira4328]

Met you through your Raimi videos. As a person who dreams of creating something that evokes as much feeling as my favorite artists made me feel, I've always felt that I lack something. So... Yeah, I needed this. Thanks Alex. Much love love from Portugal

[@KunyeeYT]

I always come back here when I need a motivation booster. Thank you for the tears and the will to continue.

[@nalu512]

Yk it's very rare that I just watch a video. I'll play it in the background and do something else and forget about my life while someone else's opinion plays in my ears... but with videos like yours... It's film, the captivating visuals, the sound, and the voice of the author in the story really allows me to be immersed into your story and watch

[@beauricefilms]

Realest video I’ve seen in a while, also very relatable, thanks for the words of knowledge I needed to hear as a dreaming film maker myself 🙏

[@benjaminaltube8731]

I don't do videos I'm not a writer or a scripter But I imagine stories, I write them in my head. I put them down in my drawings. All your advices and passion have been a good guiding star that really puts a shine on the characters I create

[@ethinwhite3454]

Alex, this has got to be the most personal video you've made. From me and everyone in these comments, thank you for doing what you do and we love you for it. Thank you. So much.

[@ellisherner5197]

Alex, my homie, I’ve been watching your videos for years. I have watched you grow through your videos and I just have to say, your passion for these characters and these movies is contagious. For years, I felt like these movies, these characters, provided an outlet for me. Provided a world to escape to, and I don’t always feel like people understand why I love these movies so much. You get it, and that’s why I love watching your videos. I respect you so much, and I look forward to watching your future videos. Keep being you man, cause you’re doing great things 🙏🏻

[@ToxicTazz]

Alex, thank you for sharing your story. Your passion for content creation and filmmaking has always inspired me; from content on my own channel, to aspirations of acting and creating films of my own one day. Thank you for being YOU.
