Brilliant and informative. Starting off with Hawaii was an interesting touch. Think the Consuls story is often overlooked. This video illustrated how crucial he is to the plot and setting.

Thanks Wes! I'm glad you liked it. I really do think the Consul is the linchpin of Hyperion, and Remembering Siri is definitely my favorite of all the pilgrim's tales

Also thank you so much for making vids about Hyperion Cantos for youtube because there is just so little of them. Us growing fans are always waiting for more. Bradley Cooper is producing the movie rn so maybe the audience will grow after it comes out

[@iamtuesday9502]

Of course! I really do believe everyone should at least try to read Hyperion. Hopefully they will if Cooper's production comes to fruition. I didn't realize an adaptation was actually, seriously in the works. Glad to hear it though

Great vid. Have always said Remembering Siri was one of the best tales in the book. I think the Consul’s final speech to end Hyperion is so great and emotional as well. I forget a lot about Hyperion and the specifics of how much the Consul impacted the end of fall, but you could argue the humanity we see in Endymion is worse or the same, which is always possible after change. Would love to see you do a video like this on that empire then. If you thought the hegemony was a mockery just wait until the one in Endymion books because it’s just hilarious!

Thanks Alex. I'm working on some other stuff atm, but more cantos stuff is definitely on the way in future. I'm still trying to gather my thoughts around Fall before I start in on reading Endymion considering how much of a roller coaster that ending was

Brilliant. If I could choose a Hyperion Planet to live it always was Maui Covenant. Before the assimilation into the Web it must have been a paradise...

Fantastic video. Educative and entertaining. You earned my sub for sure. I love anything Hyperion and found this insightful. If you love reading sci fi, I really recommend Blindsight by Peter Watts, fantastic read that challenges how we view intelligence and existentialism.

[@iamtuesday9502]

I'll definitely have to add it to the TBR. I definitely like a bit of philosophy in my sci Fi, so that sounds pretty interesting

[@shammendraeshwar433]

Thank you for the explanation,I am new to book reading and I have just arrived at consulate tale.can you please make videos about the other 2 books as well?

[@iamtuesday9502]

Of course! I plan on reading the two Endymion novels sometime later this year, so I'd expect some more videos on them in late fall
