I like how lenient you are with responding and accepting you are of harsh/demanding comments. I have notice small kids especially can sound mean and demanding in comments. They don't know there words can be miss understood or that person making the video is more like them and less like a magic person granting them wishes.

Always a good day when Slugger uploads. Speaking of music you've composed, I gotta say I listen to your Rock Raiders album almost weekly. After seeing your review of the Frontier Patrol, I'd be really excited to see you do a full rundown on the rest of the 1997 Western sets and would LOVE to get some original Slugger compositions to go with it. Something a bit Morricone-esque maybe?

Not sure if this could be included in the China journey but there was a photo frame in 2003 with that variant of Johnny. I've seen a few on bricklink for not too much money.

It would be heartbreaking if this was the last Slugger video ever. "Until next time" and then he just vanishes. Anyways. Staying on a downer vibe, I absolutely agree with the point about elephants. Beautiful, tragic creatures who deserve so much better. And now, a Hylian Fun Fact (tm): did you know, technically, you're pronouncing "Everest" wrong? The man it was named after pronounced it so that first syllable sounds like Eve, Adam's partner, or the night before Christmas. (Incidentally, the man it was named after had never been to the mountain and said it shouldn't be named after him, since it would be hard for the locals to pronounce!) We've all just started pronouncing it the way we do. I'm sad this leg of the journey has ended, as all the legs will eventually, but I'm grateful that they happened at all, and I'm happy that we get to carry on the journey for now!
@RRSlugger
@RRSlugger Жыл бұрын

Elephants have a very low pain threshold. It could be argued their subjective suffering was roughly the same as horses and other beasts of burden of that time, even though the injury inflicted was much greater. I could be wrong, but I think the topic needs more thought than domesticated elephants = bad.
@RRSlugger
@RRSlugger Жыл бұрын
Maybe..? I really tried to find some positive examples of elephant training when doing the research for that video, but I came up short. Everything I could find was about elephants suffering at the hands of humans… it was rather sobering. From what I can tell, “domesticated elephants = bad” is far more true than “domesticated elephants = good”, sadly. 😕

The last time LEGO really divvied up an adventure like this was in 2019 with the “Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu” Ninjago sets. Even then, I wish LEGO did more sprawling epics like this where each step of the journey is chronicled rather than big moments with overdesigned vehicles. Give us the intimate moments where our heroes rest and where the native people of these new realms live.

It's like Indiana Jones. Is it cringey sometimes? yup! Is it cool af? YES!
