[@vyrtilanyrwen3071]

Omegaroth666, well, the best stories of all time would include Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, Homer’s The Odyssey, George Orwell’s 1984, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, and Jane Austen’ Pride and Prejudice, along with a few other choice works. That sets the bar really high for the best stories of all time. Now, suppose we were to make the list best fantasy stories of all time. Even then, ATLA wouldn’t make my list. I believe that The Lord of the Rings stands head and shoulders above every fantasy story ever written, followed by Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, Malazan, and finally the Gentleman Bastard sequence. There are a quite a few more stories that I would put before ATLA that I didn’t mention, but I think that my list should cover it. Don’t get me wrong, though. I like ATLA, but bestowing it the honor of “one of the best stories of all time,” even if just fantasy stories, is inaccurate to say the least.

Your Hufflepuff defense speech was the most passionate and moving thing I have ever heard. Also, as befits a true Ravenclaw, your arguments were well funded. :D

[@cncoo2001]

I feel like Merphy took the Hufflepuff demise as a personal attack. Being a Hufflepuff myself I agree. I chose Gryffindor because being brave for no reason is stupid. All the other houses can be brave but they have a reason for it rather than just, "I must not show fear."

[@taylor_green_9]

Exactly! Hufflepuffs are brave when it takes courage to do the right thing. Ravenclaws, when they explore new ideas and mysteries. Slytherins, because it takes courage to pursue your ambitions. Grys are in it for fun

[@Bad_At_Parties]

I don't think all Gryffindors are like that at all, and generalizations that wide are illogical since each house has many variations or ranges on each value. For every ego maniac there are also those with a soldier mentality, where acting bravely is a duty or call to action, which is very selfless. I don't think Neville's bravery is out of an avoidance of admitting fear, or to show off, for instance. He acts because someone needed to, and it had to be done, no matter how terrified he was. Harry is also the perfect representation of an A+ Gryffindor, as he does what he does because it is required and he feels a deep personal investment in doing what's right. Even those that act bravely out of adrenaline or ego can be valued too, because regardless of why they go into danger a lot of people wouldn't dare try, which proves their use. I just see more good in Gryffindors than bad, and it's weird to see such extreme takes on them given that Harry is the exemplification of all the best of the house and proves how valuable they can be.

[@tiekarkoulias5925]

I'm a Ravenclaw, and wisdom says you gotta keep the loyal friends. Killing off Hufflepuff would be a huge mistake. You've got to have the backing of your friends. Slytherins' ambition would serve well in a world where progress and forward thinking would be prized, backed by the wisdom of Ravenclaw to further those ambitious advancements. And both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff united could keep the Slytherins' power-hungry tendencies in check. So you'd really have no need for Gryffindors to be brave, as Slytherins wouldn't have much opportunity to do Voldemorty-type stuff. So logic and reason dictate that Gryffindor is done.

[@galinor7]

Me too, the offical web site put me in RavenClaw, lost my account and made me take the test again, then put me back in Ravenclaw. Maybe they were trying to tell me something. Hufflepuff are decent and the or two houses just cheat. There are really only two honourable houses.

@Timothy Miller courage without motivation is stupidity. Loyalty can be a great motivation for courage, so I guess the Puffs will get that covered.

[@winter2561]

I'm a Ravenclaw too, but I never saw the Hufflepuffs as loyal. In book two they all turn against Harry, and Zacharias Smith is just a horrible person. The only Hufflepuff I actually like is Tonks, who is the least Hufflepuff-like character. She's a Slytherin, except Rowling hates Slytherins, so of course she was shunted aside into Hufflepuff. Cedric is just boring to me, and Ernie, Hannah, etc. are just filler characters, none of them do anything important. Despite this, Hufflepuff is a super-hyped up house, and Ravenclaw is by far the most underrated. The Hufflepuffs "traits" just don't show in the books for me, except in Cedric, who dies anyway.

12:33 "Let's think about a world run by Ravenclaw. People who care about wisdom, people who care about knowledge, people who care about--about--finding the answer to things. Very dedicated to logic and being led by the mind. We're gonna have a world where there's going to be tons of opportunity for darkness because, as long as it can be rationalised and reasoned in their mind, they can do whatever they want!" OBJECTION! The core value of Ravenclaw, as you stated, is not knowledge, but WISDOM (11:55). Wisdom is markedly different from knowledge, in that it is knowledge *tempered by morality, experience, and self-control*. It is synonymous with *good judgment*. Knowledge (and, by extension, curiosity) is what leads a wizard to discover that the Cruciatus curse can cause excruciating agony in the victim and is deliberately for torture (as the more sadistic the caster/the more they enjoy causing pain, the more powerful the curse). Wisdom is when a wizard works out the theory for the Cruciatus curse and then *doesn't do it* because it's an *awful thing to do* and no good can come from it for either caster or recipient. Wisdom is the application of knowledge in ways which are exclusively moral and good, and is literally the *express opposite* of rationalisation and justification. Ravenclaws are not the amoral Erudite faction from the Divergent series. They do not quest for knowledge for knowledge's sake, and especially not at the expense of all else. They quest for WISDOM so they can know how to apply the knowledge discovered--and especially when NOT to apply it. A world run by Ravenclaws would be a place where there is virtually *no* opportunity for darkness, because people would know better--and, most importantly, they would *do* better. --Signed, A Proud Ravenclaw.

Have you watched The Lizzie Bennet Diaries?? I'd love a video on your thoughts!

Yaaas Queen of Hufflepuffs 👑 (I know you’re are a Ravenclaw, me too, but I so agree about your speech)

[@darkestwingz]

Giiiirrrrl we heard the tone in your voice when you said "Slytherin"! lol

[@zephyrion8577]

Whaaat, I love erthbending! Would get rid of fire cause it isn‘t even an element…

I was exactly the 3,100th person to like this video, and I cannot explain how satisfying it is to watch the thumb number change from 3K to 3.1K.

I too love all the houses. I that note though I chose Ravenclaw pretty due to the same issue you brought up with them. As a book lover I do think knowledge is extremely important but if Knowledge is similar to power welp power can easily corrupt. Also I’m Hufflepuff 😁

You can get rid of a house but you'll never get rid of a trait.

[@marcusmusings]

Twitter would be the best format for this stuff

In the Mistborn one, people didn't want to reveal their futures people wanted to ELIMINATE the ability to see the future.

[@katerinateaser]

loved this video. i'm a gryfindor and i understand your reasoning.

[@GANGSTA2285]

The thing is, hufflepuff is unimportant. Atleast in the stories. I mean, hufflepuff is a synonym for fluff, filler.

Out of all the allomancy ones on that list I'd think brass would be the most useful

Okay so I'm on the 12th minute and I just need you to read the Air Awakens series. Like. The further you get into the series the more you understand how much you're right. The people who are hungry for power and information will doom our world!

[@blinkingwhiteguy2244]

i mean, all the air nomads are already dead 🤷‍♀️

[@TheGeekSquaredified]

I find it funny that all of the bending elements all can deal with fire easily.

[@DewelynC]

I don't think people were thinking about the answers that deeply.😅

[@grappyday5438]

I too am a Ravenclaw who would get rid of griffindor because most of the people in griffindor (specifically the 3 most main characters) also fit into the other houses fairly well. Also it’s just my least favorite house :P

[@rkgrkg]

I'm Ravenclaw too, but I still think Hufflepuff is the best.
