Shadow Review: • A Look Back at Shadow ...

[@Choops6969]

Felix, Dimitri, Dedue, Igrid, and Ashe. The entire blue lions route is all about the different ways people deal with the trauma of being a survivor and the realization that self-loathing is a form of self-indulgence.

[@chad3166]

My man made a visual joke in a video essay without showing the joke, he clearly is the shadow the hedgehog of fire emblem content creators

[@deezcastforms]

Gilbert was so worried about not abandoning the people who need him most that he abandoned the people who need him most. On Sothis he probably just had to ask Dimitri if it would be okay for Annette and his wife to come with him so he could be there for both Dimitri and his family. Hell he probably would've appreciated having something of a surrogate family after Duscur.

0:42 “If you wanna Harken back-“ 🤣

[@Lookalive50]

Bro pulled out the banger piano melody to have in the background of the intro. Love it.

[@AudreyII970]

I love Harken because his whole plot always reminds me of Walt's "fugue state" in Breaking Bad lmao

[@snider1365]

Finally the Gilbert character analysis part 2

[@juicyjuustar121]

The one thing I took away from this video was the reminder that I still havent finished Yakuza 0. I need to get on that ASAP

[@MeatOfJustice]

1:51 If they wanted to kill Eliwood they failed miserably, he even survived FE6.

[@ItalienJackass3647]

Very damn good video in general. Both Harken and Gilbert are both characters I found very underrated. Also, in case you see this. Thoughts on Cordelia? She is also suffering from survivor's guilt. Even though the games after that forget about that and only seems to focus on her annoying gimmick of loving Chrom.

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

Yeah, with Cordelia it also has a unique angle, because she survived due to her squad specifically protecting her.

[@paperluigi6132]

Heroes brings it up every once in a while.

[@tezereth]

The whole way this video is presented just feel so.... honest. I like it. Gilbert really is one of my favorite characters. He's a bad father, but a great character, facing a damn hard trauma.

[@A_Person_64]

FE4 Substitute character analysis por favor? 🙏🏿 The way that games narrative becomes turned on its head and interpreted in a completely different way is insanely cool

[@vicenteswettbarros1369]

I love Gilbert and i think people dont give him the chances they give to worst people

[@RudolReverie]

preach brother

[@chad3166]

Gilbert was a man who felt such deep shame and guilt for failing to protect his Lord and failing to be a father at the same time, he knew that he was still needed in the world, but he didn't have the courage or the strength to lead the life he needed to lead

[@ItalienJackass3647]

I mean, those who hate him are probably the kind who only really focus on the waifus. Or are hyper fixating on Annette. Or doesn't understand what a surviver's guilt is.

[@kai_824]

​@@ItalienJackass3647or you know understand that despite his problems he chose to focus on someone else's problems instead of his own growing ones and thsoe with his own children. Taking on another responsibility and avoid hisother ones.

[@philbuttler3427]

Dimitri not being featured in this video is wild.

[@NIDOKING]

Thanks for a great video.

[@Gonzales4991]

As someone who continues to grapple with survivor's guilt/trauma (over suicide in my case), "sad boy ouroboros" is f*cking perfect. And then you become aware of it and it m̶a̶g̶i̶c̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ g̶e̶t̶s̶ b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ becomes NESTED sad boy ouroboros - "why can't I stop thinking like this, what is so wrong with me". Mental illness sucks y'all.

[@addambarcelos]

Great vídeo o/

[@usvidragonslayer3091]

Cool video. Sad but cool.

[@chad3166]

If you did another episode on this topic, dont forget that Cordelia suffered from Survivors guilt

[@ItalienJackass3647]

Just that the game forgets about it and seems to focus more on her gimmick of loving Chrom. Robin's support on it shows it greatly. From what I recall.

[@eleonorepb4565]

And Fiora, Sue, Finn...

[@fireembliam9090]

I would mention Shamir because she lost one of her best friends and survived the war she was in.

[@fireembliam9090]

14:14 New Patreon names.

[@grigoriiprimushko8687]

10:49 ironic to say that about two knights who failed at protecting someone

[@RubyChiang]

11:37 Legault belongs to Heath! You could've chosen someone else!!!

[@eleonorepb4565]

He belongs to Linus

[@Kryptnyt]

He belongs in a museum!

[@SwaxMain4u]

I think gilbert is just ashamed of his actions as well. It goes from survivers guilt to being ashamed of abandoning his family, with a healthy dose of fear and self loathing that prevents him from righting his wrong

[@hadoukenfighter]

Yakuza 3's fun stuff.

[@comradeflamer1973]

I am once again asking for a renault character analysis

[@fireembliam9090]

You type in the meme.

[@ivanayala2715]

Now i apreciate Harken more, but nah bro f Gilbert, Anette efforts show more how much he damaged her rather than how good a father he was, also the extra 5 timeskip abandonment years make him look extra stupid while having no real consequences cause his family where just waiting his sad hours to pass

[@duwanglover3424]

Im so glad someone is talking about Gilbert and not just writting him off as a generic bad dad character. It always urked me when his story is so obviously about his guilt and spiraling self loathing

[@jaybirdjay4267]

I’m sorry but I don’t think I’ll ever get this chance again. FIRST

[@fireembliam9090]

17:55 Annette Father is name Gilbert not Gustav.

[@supervolcanobladerharris131]

Gustav is his real name. Gilbert is used to hide his identity. His alias is outright removed in three hopes.
