00:00:30["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:00:36Ambassador? Captain? Commander Shepard?
00:00:40If you get 100% Renegade or Paragon, you get a quest where you discover Haken is manipulating you.
00:00:45Manipulating you for what?
00:00:47Many humans lost their lives in the battle to save the Citadel.
00:00:51Brave and courageous soldiers who willingly gave their lives so that we, the Council, might live.
00:00:59There is no greater sacrifice, and we share your grief over the tragic loss of so many noble men and women.
00:01:06The Council also owes you a great personal debt, Commander, one we can never repay.
00:01:11You saved not just our lives, but the lives of billions from Sovereign and the Reapers.
00:01:15Commander Shepard, your heroic and selfless actions serve as a symbol of everything humanity and the Alliance stand for.
00:01:24And though we cannot bring back those valiant soldiers who gave their lives to save ours, we can honor their memories through our actions.
00:01:32Humanity has shown it is ready to stand as a defender and protector of the galaxy.
00:01:37You have proved you are worthy to join our ranks and serve beside us on the Citadel Council.
00:01:42Counselor, on behalf of humanity and the Alliance, we thank you for this prestigious honor and humbly accept.
00:01:50We will need a list of potential candidates to fill humanity's seat on the Council.
00:01:54Given all that has happened, I am sure your recommendation will carry a great deal of weight, Commander.
00:01:59Do you support any particular candidate?
00:02:01We need someone with the courage to stand up for what he believes in.
00:02:05Someone like Captain Anderson.
00:02:07Him? You must be joking. Anderson prefers to let his fists do the talking.
00:02:13Only with you, Ambassador. Only with you.
00:02:16Are you sure about this, Commander? The Captain's a soldier, not a politician.
00:02:22I'd rather have the Captain on the Council than any politician I know.
00:02:25I think it's an inspired choice. The Council would welcome him with open arms, should he accept.
00:02:31I'm honored, Counselor. As humanity's representative, I'll do everything in my power to help the Council rebuild.
00:02:38Sovereign's defeat marks the beginning of a new era for both humanity and the Council.
00:02:46Don't start patting yourselves on the back just yet. Sovereign wasn't alone.
00:02:50The rest of the Reapers are still out there, and I'm going to find some way to stop them.
00:03:00I don't know a single person who would choose Udina over Anderson. Most people didn't.
00:03:05Humanity is ready to do its part. United with the rest of the Council, we have the strength to overcome any challenge.
00:03:12When the Reapers come, we must stand side by side. We must fight against them as one.
00:03:17And together, we will drive them back into dark space.
00:03:42I wonder if that's why they decided Udina should join the Reapers.
00:04:01Udina joined Cerberus and didn't realize Cerberus was indoctrinated.
00:04:05Okay, on to two.
00:04:36Okay, we can bring back the chat for this because I never used the tutorial mission.
00:04:43Oops.
00:04:56Heh heh, smiley Ren. Ah, yes.
00:05:13Hmm.
00:05:23Hmm.
00:05:26Hmm.
00:05:42Hmm.
00:06:12Hmm.
00:06:23Hmm.
00:06:42Hmm.
00:06:46Hmm.
00:07:00A lot of little annoyances that I don't like.
00:07:02I think a lot of those little annoyances come as a result of Mass Effect 1 getting upgraded the most.
00:07:13Hmm.
00:07:21Hmm.
00:07:42three ships went missing here in the past month something happened to him my
00:07:47money's on slavers the terminus system is crawling with them picking up
00:07:51something on the long-range scanner unidentified vessel hmm looks like a
00:07:56cruiser doesn't match any known signatures
00:08:02cruiser is changing course now on intercept trajectory stealth systems
00:08:08are engaged there's no way it gets ship to pass it's not the gap brace for
00:08:13evasive maneuvers
00:08:24Presley
00:08:28multiple hole breaches weapons offline somebody get that fire out
00:08:38I hope you like the color orange we're gonna see a lot of it
00:08:55distress beacon is ready for launch
00:08:59I'm not doing this just so they can find our frozen corpses get everyone on
00:09:10the escape shuttles Joker's still in the cockpit he won't abandon ship I'm not
00:09:16leaving either
00:09:21get to the damn shuttles I'll haul Joker's crippled ass out of here
00:09:28commander
00:09:32get the hell out of here
00:09:43everybody go go go
00:09:57you
00:10:19shift away from every G elements makes mass effect 2 gameplay all hell for me
00:10:23thankfully mass effect 3 creates this correct this mass effect 2 & 3 shift
00:10:30more towards class-specific gameplay rather than just the same gameplay
00:10:35gently nudged in the opposite direction
00:11:24oh come on Joker we have to get out of here
00:11:29no I won't abandon the Normandy I can still save her the Normandy's lost going
00:11:37down with the ship won't change that
00:11:40yeah okay help me up

00:11:53Oh
00:11:55Oh
00:12:20oh hey speaking of horrible ways to die
00:12:25Oh
00:12:55Oh
00:13:25Oh
00:13:27Oh
00:13:29Oh
00:13:51commander Shepard has been recovered the Lazarus project will proceed as planned
00:13:59Oh
00:14:29Oh
00:14:31Oh
00:14:33Oh
00:14:57okay let's see me to engineer build
00:15:03you
00:15:25apparently dominates the best bonus power to take but I never get dominate
00:15:29because I never take Moran warp ammo is an excellent deals bonus damage against
00:15:35barriers and armor great survivability ability that increases shields it has no
00:15:41animation allowing it to be cast while sprinting allows to drain their shields
00:15:46and restore your own seems to be warp ammo or energy drain or maybe stasis
00:15:59I'm gonna go with energy drain just to basically stick with the whole all tech
00:16:04thing the engineer has going on
00:16:12reacting to outside stimuli showing an awareness of her surroundings oh my god
00:16:18Miranda I think she's waking up
00:16:23damn it and she's not ready yet give it a sedative
00:16:26Shepard don't try to move just lie still try to stay calm heart rate still
00:16:32climbing all bionics over here except dominate human shouldn't have that I
00:16:36don't like mods that like drastically fuck with game balance like that now
00:16:43heart rate dropping death falling back into normal range
00:16:52well run the numbers again
00:17:22oh
00:17:43okay tech master power recharge Paragon a project research project Oh research
00:17:51project cost
00:18:04whichever overload and combat drone let's grab one point in tech mastery
00:18:10let's grab a tune overload let's grab one and incinerate
00:18:16let's grab a two in tech mastery
00:18:21you know
00:18:24okay overload
00:18:29incinerate energy drain and combat drone there we go
00:18:34you look for a thermal clip for your pistol
00:18:41looks like they set up a barricade to try to look out
00:18:46oh yeah supposed to be insanity
00:19:05Shepard security mechs are closing in on your position
00:19:46nice work Shepard, coast is clean
00:20:00interesting villains in the franchise would be better off if they were less
00:20:03important or used way less differently I mean I think the I think the Reapers
00:20:06are fine cuz like remember at the end of the day this the story's about Shepard
00:20:13it's not about the villains you need to get away from this like 2010s line of
00:20:19thinking that villains are supposed to be the real the real draw of a series
00:20:43run
00:21:00progress is slow but subject shows signs of recovery major organs are again
00:21:05functional and there are signs of rudimentary neurological activity in an
00:21:10effort to accelerate the process we've moved from simple organic reconstruction
00:21:14of the subject to biosynthetic fusion initial results show promise
00:21:21log update the cost of this project is astronomical over 4 billion credits so
00:21:26far but nobody seems to care that we've gone over budget
00:21:31money maybe it's better not to know I just wish he'd kick a little more in my
00:21:36direction once in a while
00:21:40Oh
00:21:55I can't figure Miranda out this project director she should be ecstatic at all
00:22:02the progress we've made
00:22:10Oh
00:22:20Oh you doing here but you were still a work in progress I just woke up probably
00:22:28no more than I do right sorry about that I'm Jacob Taylor I've been stationed
00:22:33here for hostiles detected
00:22:40things must be worse than I thought if Miranda's got you running around I'll
00:22:44fill you in but we better get you to the shuttle first it's your station Jacob
00:22:49I'll follow you first step let's finish off these metal bastards we're low on
00:22:54thermal clips but I'm a biotic just give the order when you want me to hit him
00:22:58with the good stuff
00:23:10I'm falling back see you guys later see a simple cat girl ready to get the hell
00:23:32off this station what's the quickest way to those shuttles depends where the mechs
00:23:38are thickest it's probably best if we check check
00:23:47Wilson this is Jacob I'm here with commander Shepard just took out a wave
00:23:52of mechs over at D-Wave
00:24:02Roger that Wilson stay on this frequency let's get out of here you bet we can
00:24:08get into the service tunnels through this door
00:24:20we've been spotted damn it Wilson
00:24:24the whole station is crawling with mechs I'm doing the best I can
00:24:35Wilson find us another route out of here preferably
00:24:39oh god they found me help
00:24:41Wilson where are you
00:24:43server room B hurry
00:24:45we've been spotted
00:24:51physical reconstruction of subject is complete but we still need to evaluate
00:24:55all mental and neurological functions our orders were clear make commander
00:25:00Shepard who she was before the explosion the same mind the same morals the same
00:25:05personality if we alter her identity in any way if she's somehow not the woman
00:25:10the Lazarus project will have failed I refuse to let that happen
00:25:18Shepard down here bastards got me in a leg we need to get off this station
00:25:24grab the metagel from the first aid station on the
00:25:39Jacobs fine-ass shame about waves hands wildly save my life yeah I don't know
00:25:44what the fuck is wrong with my where I thought maybe I could shut down the
00:25:48security mix but whoever did this fried the whole system completely irreversible
00:25:53we didn't ask for you weren't you listening I came here forget it they're
00:25:58only two possible let's we can overload the canisters to clear a path to the
00:26:03shuttles that's it let's get out of here okay we
00:26:08took him down it's really isn't that we don't want to piss you told me you're
00:26:11lying when I forgot to come from the boss Shepard as soon as risk dip for
00:26:16work event fun I hope everyone has a good evening all right see you check set
00:26:19check see mix
00:26:38I
00:27:09you
00:27:32subject has been recovered but the damage is far worse than we initially
00:27:36feared in addition to the expected burns and internal injuries from the
00:27:39explosion subject has suffered significant cellular breakdown due to
00:27:43long-term exposure to vacuum and sub-zero temperatures despite the extent
00:27:47of the physical trauma Wilson assures me subject is salvageable the Lazarus
00:27:52project will proceed as planned
00:28:07and that'll be gonna get back to work
00:28:30those things 162
00:28:36kilobytes
00:28:49okay
00:28:56giant notepad file yeah people are like people were surprised to learn that I
00:29:00actually write my scripts and txt files
00:29:07I was a holdover from like my early days like way back like when I was a
00:29:14teenager I got used to writing everything in txt files because my method
00:29:19of storage was a 126 no sorry 128 megabyte flash drive
00:29:36fucking oof it was 2004
00:29:44hell for a brief period I was using a floppy disk
00:29:58fucking oof
00:30:07if Linda been the one reuniting the Earth Kingdom she would have gone
00:30:11totalitarian in minutes and not hesitated Lynn has such a need for
00:30:15control and stability it often goes to her head to the point she often tries to
00:30:18play controlling mom to the avatar of all people Lynn already had the
00:30:22personality profile to become a dictator all she would need is a little push
00:30:25hell everything I said before about Kuvira giving the avatar space to
00:30:28recuperate goes double for Lynn to the point who Cora would have cut to the
00:30:32point Cora would have come home see what's happened to one of her mentors
00:30:35and be genuinely conflicted how would you feel if someone who professed to
00:30:38care about you not only went against everything you'd ever believed but did
00:30:41it in your name damn it I got a separating fanfiction of my serious
00:30:45critique videos see that's that's the see that's the problem see that's the
00:30:53problem with Cora see that's the problem with Cora as a as a property it's
00:31:00property it's trying to be it's trying to be two things two things that don't
00:31:06go well together together
00:31:15my example above with Lynn with Lynn is the only time is the only time is the
00:31:20only way you make of you make a traditional villain work
00:31:30by deprioritizing the politics and politics and refocusing refocusing on
00:31:39character on character based storytelling like the original did
00:31:42storytelling but where the but where the show wants to be political but instead
00:31:48the see the show wants to be be wants to be political at its core political at
00:31:54its at its core and it's and and every seat in every season starts out doing
00:32:01starts out doing that very well very well but sooner or later but sooner or
00:32:07later the need the compulsive need for a villain for a villain undermines
00:32:13undermines all of it all of it and creates and creates and creates a series
00:32:21that series that has the weak undermines all of it
00:32:43it's hard to get invested invested in a story in a story that starts out with
00:32:50to assert their own unique identity their own unique identity identity and
00:33:09ends with defeating with defeating Satan with the power with the power of
00:33:13believing in yourself it's hard to get invested in a story that starts out with
00:33:19the frictions between cultures trying to assert their own unique identity and
00:33:23ends with defeating Satan with the power of believing in yourself
00:33:40at times it feels condescending like they don't like they don't think like
00:33:44they don't think you're smart enough to smart enough to realize real to realize
00:33:49how much they've how much they've chickened out of their own out of the
00:33:55very ideas they set up set up in the first place first place hell hell the
00:34:03series tries its best best to act like like it didn't do that where's that
00:34:13where's that clip
00:34:16where's that clip
00:34:38cares my brother is too far
00:34:43okay fine I guess it am on fine thank you you're still carrying around that
00:34:51metal poison you ever consider maybe you could learn something from them sounds
00:34:57like the swamps messing with your mind too my mind is just fine thank you
00:35:04what did a man want equality for all he brought back the spirits there we go
00:35:15for for 1530
00:35:19and here I guess the problem was those guys were totally out of bounds and they
00:35:38took their ideologies too far
00:35:40okay this is the writer straight up lying to you lying to you
00:35:49Aman didn't want equality for all didn't want equality for all for all like the
00:35:56whole plot plot of season one one is that he's the biggest fucking liar on
00:36:02the planet liar on the plant on the planet he wanted to destroy bending he
00:36:07wanted to destroy bending
00:36:16bending it had nothing to do with equality do with equality
00:36:37Unalaq didn't bring back the spirits spirits Korra did didn't bring back the
00:36:44spirits Korra did Unalaq was going to
00:36:55and remake it in chaos and Zaheer believes in nothing in nothing he's just
00:37:03a rude he's just ultimately following of the red of the red lotus lotus an
00:37:14agenda so nonsensical an agenda so nonsensical so nonsensical that it's
00:37:21so nonsensical that it's canon that nobody knew
00:37:28their grievances were
00:37:37sure they may be sure this may sure this may have been this may have been how it
00:37:41was set up but it wasn't how those stories ended
00:38:01wasn't how they ended they didn't take their idea they didn't take their
00:38:06ideologies ideologies too far their ideologies changed either changed or
00:38:15revealed to be nonsense nonsense the show acts like it acts like it actually
00:38:22stuck the land stuck the landing with the with the with their own antagonists
00:38:28when it just didn't didn't it acted like you know how's it going hey Lolo
00:38:38it's
00:38:54when all they did was chicken out
00:38:59really thought they achieved something here when all they did was chicken out
00:39:06and they think and they think you're too stupid to notice that and they think you
00:39:11the viewer the viewer are too stupid to notice that
00:39:29terms so if it thinks so if it thinks that's what the story that's what it was
00:39:33about was about what it was about then we need to then we need to treat it like
00:39:37that treat it like like that but no I'm sorry you don't get a fur but no no I'm
00:39:44sorry I'm sorry execution is still occur is still a crucial aspect of aspect of
00:39:51storytelling is still a crucial aspect of critique and you critique and Cora
00:39:55fumbled the execution
00:40:05the execution hard and Cora fumbled the execution hard
00:40:26you
00:40:40the legend of Cora BS oh we took a break to play Mass Effect
00:40:45you
00:40:52execution is still a crucial aspect of critique
00:41:15you
00:41:46Cora fumbled the execution hard
00:41:52furthermore can we talk about talk about how we can philosophically lazy
00:41:57philosophically lazy lazy they took it too far is as a motivation as a villain
00:42:06story furthermore can we talk about how we can philosophically lazy they took it
00:42:11too far is as a villain story villain story like this is peak horseshoe theory
00:42:18theory I know I know avatar has always been about balance has always been about
00:42:23balance but it should balance but that shouldn't be but that shouldn't be that
00:42:28shouldn't be balanced between between oppression and non-oppression that
00:42:36shouldn't be balanced between oppression and no oppression
00:42:45virtually all of the villains are basically villains are in some way are
00:42:50in some way about about tearing down the establishment the establishment in
00:42:55varying in varying degrees so no wonder so no wonder a lot of people people
00:43:02people people tar this show as as being pro status quo
00:43:10some people think some of its defenders think think the show was divisive device
00:43:17was divisive because of it because it because it was political political no I
00:43:22think I think if it was if it was political it would have been political
00:43:28as in as in actually taking a stand on something something it would have been
00:43:33it would have been great it would have it would have been like it would have
00:43:37been great but it wasn't
00:43:58at 10 ads in a row fun times yeah you're not the only one that's that's a
00:44:04deliberate setting let's either it's either 10 ads an hour or one or it's
00:44:10either 10 ads an hour or two ads every every 10 minutes

00:46:55Maybe people will stop complaining then
00:47:06Oh, fucking hell
00:47:16It wasn't, it's political in the same way
00:47:24It wasn't, it's political in the same way
00:47:54Political literacy
00:48:24You need a stance, a stance
00:48:26And if you don't have one, have one
00:48:29You shouldn't bother trying to be it
00:48:35Instead, it does this
00:48:37It does this under the idea of making the show
00:48:40The show appear
00:48:42Making the show appear more mature
00:48:44More, like, more mature and dark to the people
00:48:49More mature and dark to a fanbase that's getting older
00:48:57To a fanbase that's getting older
00:49:04Hence why the political subtext goes hand in hand
00:49:11With the increased gruesomeness of the violence
00:49:19I don't know if I'm making that up
00:49:28Literal horseshoe metal bended as a boomerang
00:49:31Is a more centrist version of Sokka's boomerang from the original
00:49:34How do you make a centrist boomerang?
00:49:38Subtext goes hand in hand with the increased gruesomeness of the violence
00:49:42But all in all, the show is
00:49:45Miss the violence
00:49:48Miss the violence
00:49:52All in all, the show
00:49:54All in all, this
00:49:56All in all, the Legend of Korra
00:49:58The Legend of Korra
00:50:00Takes the
00:50:02Takes Avatar
00:50:04And proceeds to gentrify it
00:50:18The Legend of Korra
00:50:20The Legend of Korra
00:50:22The Legend of Korra
00:50:24The Legend of Korra
00:50:26The Legend of Korra
00:50:28The Legend of Korra
00:50:30The Legend of Korra
00:50:32The Legend of Korra
00:50:34The Legend of Korra
00:50:36The Legend of Korra
00:50:38The Legend of Korra
00:50:40The Legend of Korra
00:50:42The Legend of Korra
00:50:44The Legend of Korra
00:50:47Mummed
00:50:50Ed's nice clean utopian metal-bending paradise is ripped right out of a TechBros CGI bullshit project
00:51:58Let's do it better.
00:52:13Not proceed to basically make like Americans, not to proceed to make like Americans, Americans
00:52:18nuke half a country, half a country, and then rebuild it in their image.
00:52:25Not to make like Americans, nuke half a country, and then rebuild it into something more closely
00:52:32approximating them.
00:52:37Closely approximating them, whoops, I got a little political there.
00:52:45Not proceed to make like Americans, nuke half a country, and then rebuild it into something
00:52:50more closely approximating them.
00:53:20Violence, but the key to maturity is being bold.
00:53:36Not just in politics, but in storytelling as well.
00:53:41As with the F-Arm, as with the F-Arm, as with the F-Arm, as with the F-Arm, as with the

00:55:21Legs and find themselves, not bury them under shackles, chains and constant references to the original series,
00:55:48to the original series, to the original series.
00:55:51Some people will say, oh, you just don't like it because it wasn't, like it because it wasn't the last Airbender.
00:56:01Airbender. But the reason I don't like this show, like this show, is because it tries too hard to be the last Airbender.
00:56:11The last Airbender.
00:56:14It sets up, here's our bold new ideas, now let's throw that away.
00:56:19It says, here's our bold new, here's our bold new ideas, bold new ideas, now let's throw that away.
00:56:26That away so we can anime fight, so we can anime fight Metalbending Ozai.
00:56:35Ozai.
00:56:44Nostalgia. Nostalgia, Breik. It was only a few years old.
00:56:56Ugh.
00:57:10Airbender Nostalgia. Nostalgia, Breik. Breik, the series was only, the series was less than 10 years old, than 10 years old when this came out.
00:57:22Nostalgia, Breik. The series was less than 10 years old when this show came out.
00:57:36If Avatar is going to continue, continue, continue, which it clearly wants to, it clearly wants to, it can't keep doing this.
00:57:45Doing this. Like, the next, they're already teasing, they're already teasing the next Avatar.
00:57:52Teasing the next Avatar, taking place in the modern day.
00:57:56In the modern day, and I gotta say, and I gotta say, if there's one thing, if they don't learn from Korra, learn from Korra.
00:58:05Dial back the stakes, back the stakes, focus on the characters, focus on the characters, and get your ducks in a row.
00:58:13In a row before you start blowing up the world, blowing up, blowing up, uh, blowing up the planet, the planet.
00:58:21We're just gonna have this pro, this problem is just gonna, this is just going to get even worse.
00:58:36And that's Korra, and that's, and that's Legend of Korra. Legend of Korra.
00:58:52A show with so much promise, so much promise, and so many, and so many interesting new things, new takes,
00:59:00and so many interesting new takes on, not just Avatar, Avatar, but the traditional adventure stories at all, at all, and at all,
00:59:13smothered, practically smothered, under the creator's unwillingness to commit to, unwillingness to commit to any of it.
00:59:22Under the fear that if it wasn't like, wasn't just like Avatar, wasn't just like the original, the original people would stop watching.
00:59:34And they did.
00:59:36But it tried to be like the original, and its ratings plummeted.
00:59:52It was moved into the streaming ghetto.
01:00:22And that's Legend of Korra, a show with so much promise, so much promise, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so many, and so
01:00:52So with so much promise, and so many interesting new takes on not just Avatar, but traditional
01:00:56adventure stories, but traditional adventure story, but traditional adventure stories, stories
01:01:03practically smothered under the creator's unwillingness to commit to any of it, under
01:01:08the fear that if it wasn't just like the original, original, and didn't have, and didn't have
01:01:13enough references to the original, to the original, people would stop watching.
01:01:20But it tried to be like the original, and its ratings plummeted to the point it was
01:01:23moved into the streaming ghetto, so, so they became, so they, so that became a self of,
01:01:35and that became...
01:01:54To commit caused its ratings to plummet, ratings to plummet to the point it was moved into
01:02:02the streaming ghetto, and stayed there, streaming ghetto, and languished there, there, now,
01:02:10now only remembered, now only remembered for the one, only remembered for now, it's like,
01:02:17today, today, now only remembered...
01:02:47For the ending, where two girls hold hands...
01:03:17Hm.
01:03:32Languished there, and in a twist of brutal, twist of dark irony, irony, despite, uh, despite
01:03:39the love, despite the romance being the most, being the most hated part of the show, hated
01:03:45part of the show, that's now the only thing, the only thing it's ever really, it's ever
01:03:51really remembered for.
01:03:59Remembered for.
01:04:00That's now the only thing it's ever really remembered for, and I find that a shame.
01:04:08Because at the very least, Korra deserves, Korra herself deserved way more, way more
01:04:14than to just languish...
01:04:45Because at the very least, I think Korra, because at the very least, Korra herself deserved
01:04:49way more than to just languish as a pinup for the internet's muscle girl fetish.
01:04:53Anyway, I'm Lily.
01:04:56Thanks for watching.
01:05:01Oh god, okay.
01:05:06All right, let's see how long this is.
01:05:1729,898 words.
01:05:24We're 102 off from 30,000.
01:05:34All right, let's put this on Patreon.
01:05:49Let's put this on the Patch Ryans.
01:06:16I am not formatting this thing, go fuck themselves.
01:06:30Reflects American imperialism, which I haven't thought about it since I was a child, but
01:06:34you might be right.
01:06:35I always thought that it was just because the world got more peaceful that it got more
01:06:38technologically advanced, but it's not like they couldn't have portrayed technological
01:06:41advancement without just making it America.
01:06:43No, I don't think it, like, at least I don't think it's a direct, like, I don't think Bryke
01:06:49is deliberately trying to position America as like the centerpiece of the progressive
01:06:55world.
01:06:56I think it's just because they live there, and so it naturally influences a lot of their
01:07:02biases.
01:07:03So, like, their idea, if you ask them to show you what a progressive world looked like,
01:07:12they will show you New York City.
01:07:20Patriotism is hell of a drug.
01:07:21I wouldn't even call it patriotism.
01:08:22It's always a delight to see Ren's art, oh yeah.
01:08:53Gonna do more art trades with her.
01:08:56You should.
01:09:01Most of the time they're gonna give you New York City too, lol.
01:09:04Yep.
01:09:08Their dystopia will decidedly be New York City around the 80s, during the point of urban
01:09:13decay.
01:09:22Escape from New York is 1981.
01:09:44Yep.
01:09:52Hmm.
01:10:23Hmm.
01:10:31I'll charge Lee is quite an accurate and showing the utter dilapidation and urban decay London
01:12:00points in there because I wrote each bit separately where like I make one point at
01:12:05one point in the script and then I make the exact same point later on so I gotta fix that
01:12:08but my god the hard part is over
01:12:28I did that in record time to when did I start streaming this like two weeks ago
01:12:39two weeks to chew through an entire four season series God
01:12:52whoo
01:13:08you
01:13:22binge watching sure didn't improve the experience I didn't really binge watch I
01:13:26think only did like maybe four or five episodes at a time
01:13:38you
01:14:08binge watching sure didn't improve the experience I didn't really binge watch I think only did like maybe four or five episodes at a time
01:14:13you
01:14:33she did take stops and took notes that was exhausting but I guess it shows I
01:14:43can do a full series deep dive in relatively efficient time so I might do
01:14:50it more fuck actually how many episodes of core were there 52
01:14:59I don't know if anyone would be interested in it but like doing one on card captors
01:15:16might not be a bad idea probably not for a while though I don't want to cover any
01:15:20more anime anytime soon
01:15:30see the cloud for all mystery but when this mighty book was open the powers
01:15:48were set free
01:15:51star trek prodigy I don't want to watch star trek prodigy
01:15:57fond of new start like I mean I like lower decks I haven't had the chance to
01:16:02go back to it though actually when I was going over how like everything every
01:16:08show I covered first impressions that ended up going down the plug hole I'd
01:16:11actually forgotten about lower tech I was like people in the comments are like
01:16:16what about lower decks I was like fuck I forgot about that one
01:16:19God
01:16:32I'd be up for that since I've never seen card captors before it's okay I mean
01:16:37like it's a it is a very messy series every version of it's got something
01:16:47wrong with it like
01:16:53same a sailor moon okay you know how rather notoriously in sailor moon they
01:16:59change in the dub they change the lesbians to be in cousins
01:17:03yes
01:17:13well in the dub for card captors they change the lesbian cousins to best
01:17:19friends
01:17:34I remember you saying that oh my god
01:17:42yeah the original like the original comic was fucked up
01:18:03canonical in says that not going to sort of so here's the thing like a big
01:18:14part of it is that Madison is that in the original Madison has a crush on
01:18:17Sakura and they've been best friends their whole life cute pretty kid pretty
01:18:22cute for most of it then at one point in the comic it's just offhandedly revealed
01:18:26that Sakura is actually Madison's second cousin like what Sakura's mother
01:18:37married her teacher when she was 16
01:18:49there's a fourth grader who is secretly engaged to her teacher it's all it's all
01:18:53very weird like some of that was cut out when they when they adapted it to a
01:19:00cartoon and then all of it was cut out when they when it was dubbed
01:19:09don't do that
01:19:23the problem is if I do card captors I have to talk about all that stuff which
01:19:32means I'd have to read the read the comic again and I haven't read it since
01:19:35I was 15 and then violently threw it aside when I when I came to that one
01:19:41hey yeah how are you
01:19:44you
01:19:49what have I got here

01:28:00Oh, it was great.
01:28:11I think I actually had a, hang on.
01:28:15Let me pull it up here.
01:28:36Where did I put it?
01:28:58Oh yeah, here it is.
01:29:00I made this tier list for the sake of an ask.
01:29:04And yeah, there it is, Spy Family, right near the top.
01:29:26Right where it belongs, yep.
01:29:29I still can't believe Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors is on B tier.
01:29:34Well, first off, Cardcaptors is on A tier.
01:29:39And yeah, Sailor Moon is fine.
01:29:41See here's the thing, it doesn't go below C tier because I never stick with an anime
01:29:45long enough for anything below C tier to exist.
01:29:48I only include the things I finished.
01:30:11Which ones haven't you finished?
01:30:12Oh, a ton of them.
01:30:14Oh honey, Sailor Moon got so much worse as it went on.
01:30:18Yeah, okay, okay.
01:30:21Look what it's, look what it's beside.
01:30:24Look at, this is, this is the level we're working on here.
01:30:28Look what's in C tier.
01:30:39Shout out to the silly little hamsters.
01:30:52Dungeon Mesh shit.
01:31:04Oh you should watch D&D, D&D's nuts.
01:31:09This will be an example of B equals failing take note of parakets.
01:31:19The world was such an awesome place until, Cruella, Cruella de Vil.
01:31:38Current chatting.
01:31:47Ah, fucking hell.
01:32:07I've been slowly making my way through Princess Tutu and I am fucking loving it.
01:32:32It's so sad.
01:32:35It's so sad.
01:33:05Let's go find a shower movie I have that you can, you can enjoy.
01:33:34It sure seems like it with the mood Wren captures in her fan art of it.
01:33:38Oh yeah.
01:33:39Like, Wren pre-warned me that like, I don't really, I don't really capture the theme,
01:33:44like, I don't really capture the energy of the show.
01:33:46But like, that was a lie because it was perfectly captured.
01:33:51It's like right out of the gate.
01:33:52It's like, oh, oh, oh, this is a tragic story.
01:34:02Let's make a duck suffer heartbreak and betrayal and make the audience cry for it.
01:34:18Oh God.
01:34:20Oh God.
01:34:22Oh God.
01:34:23But I am, I'm living for how selfless she is.
01:34:43I want to be like a duck when I grow up.
01:35:02I would lie on a sword for her in Rue.
01:35:06Like, I see the first few episodes and it's like, oh no, she's cringe, this is perfect.
01:35:11And then I get the next few episodes, it's like, oh no, oh, she's cringe and selfless.
01:35:41I'm still not very far into it because like, work takes up so much of my goddamn time.
01:35:59Oh God.
01:36:02Oh God.
01:36:33I love the duck has the zoomies joke, thank you.
01:36:37I'm very pleased with myself for that one.
01:36:39It's understandable because I do think it's better in small doses and not a binging one.
01:36:43Oh yeah, no, like, I'm definitely not binging it, I'm savoring it.
01:36:47Like, it's only 26 episodes, I'm savoring this one.
01:36:50I saw A Place Further Than The Universe was only like 13 episodes.
01:36:55I was like, okay, I could probably hammer this out in a day.
01:36:57Oh, that was a bad call.
01:37:00That was a bad call.
01:37:30Oh, what's this?
01:37:53A heart string?
01:37:54Yank and proceed to play Chuck Tchaikovsky on it.
01:37:57Oh.
01:37:59Oh my God.
01:38:14The emotional sincerity is too much for you to do in one session.
01:38:17Yeah.
01:38:19Oh.
01:38:21Oh God, A Place Further Than The Universe was so good.
01:38:31Somebody suggested to me, like, a show about a girl who joins a camping club.
01:38:37But if I'm being honest, like, it looks like I've never thrown a show away for this before.
01:38:45But, like, I see the art style, and it looks like shit.
01:38:59Which, uh, I can't remember what it was called.
01:39:09Laidback, right, Laidback Camp, that was it.
01:39:14It has that same big eyes art style, but, like, it doesn't have any of the gloss or polish that A Place Further Than The Universe does.
01:39:33Like, A Place Further Than The Universe looks like one of Ren's drawings came to life.
01:39:39One of the really, one of the really well-lit ones.
01:39:42But, um...
01:39:54I know I couldn't watch JoJo for the art style.
01:39:56Yeah, same thing here, really.
01:39:58Like, I like the art style.
01:40:01Like, everyone being very sculpted, very sharply dressed, and ridiculously buff.
01:40:08I like it in theory, but when I have to see it in motion, I'm just like, oh my god.
01:40:16You look like beautiful Jo is glitching out.
01:40:38I don't know what I'm talking about.
01:41:09It looks like a modern creepypasta with how they all move, yeah.
01:41:15I know Sketchy really likes it, and, like, that's kind of what made me want to try it.
01:41:19Because the way he talks about it, it's like, this actually sounds good.
01:41:22And then I watched a couple episodes, and I kind of made a very quick realization.
01:41:26I didn't want to watch JoJo, I wanted to listen to Sketchy talk about JoJo, because I like spending time with Sketchy.
01:42:08Okay.
01:42:38It's raining tacos, from out of the sky.
01:42:56Tacos, no need to ask why.
01:42:59Just open your mouth and close your eyes.
01:43:09It's raining tacos, out in the street.
01:43:14Tacos, all you can eat.
01:43:18Lettuce and shells, cheese and meat.
01:43:38It's raining tacos?
01:43:52Oh yeah, it's a meme song from years ago.
01:43:54Lettuce and shells, cheese and meat.
01:44:06It's raining tacos, yum yum yum yum.
01:44:12I only know raining chocolate.
01:44:14Ah, there's another one.
01:44:24It's raining tacos.
01:44:54It's raining tacos.
01:45:22It's raining tacos.
01:45:46Another thing I'm gonna upload about JoJo is it's coloring, because those green skies and yellow sidewalks in part four gave me a massive serotonin boost.
01:45:52Especially watching in COVID, I was not able to touch grass.
01:45:55Hell yeah.
01:46:04I've been stuck in my apartment the last few days just because it's been like, overcast as fuck, and humid as all goddamn hell.
01:46:31Lettuce and shells, cheese and meat.
01:46:35It's raining tacos.
01:46:57Humidity can go suck a dick.
01:46:59It really can.
01:47:01Go suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a motherfucking dick, suck a dick, suck a huge or small dick.
01:47:30Here, it's raining cats and dogs.
01:47:32I came to work today absolutely wet from stomach down.
01:47:35My shoes a puddle.
01:47:37Hub said to get me tri-clothes to work.
01:47:39It was so bad.
01:47:41Oh, honey.
01:47:57Oh, you poor sweetie.
01:48:06I was so fucking cold.
01:48:09Oh, I'll bet.
01:48:40The rain falls at an angle.
01:48:49No umbrella saves your butt.
01:48:51Oh, no.
01:49:08Oh, you poor dear.
01:49:17Let me tell you, though.
01:49:19When you're wet from the rain, dry clothes have never felt more comfortable.
01:49:46Oh, you poor dear.
01:50:14Oh, you poor dear.
01:50:42Oh, you poor dear.
01:51:10Oh, you poor dear.
01:51:39Oh, you poor dear.
01:52:08Oh, you poor dear.
01:52:37Oh, you poor dear.
01:52:52Oh, you poor dear.
01:53:21Good night, Ren.
01:53:22Thanks for stopping by.
01:53:51Come on.
01:54:16Through here.
01:54:17We're almost at the...
01:54:18I'm gonna head out to see a nice duck deal.
01:54:20See you, Lolo.
01:54:21Have a good evening.
01:54:23Dad?
01:54:25What the hell are you doing?
01:54:29My job.
01:54:31Wilson betrayed us all.
01:54:33I had a feeling Wilson was just looking for a chance to shoot me in the back.
01:54:37Good instincts.
01:54:38Some people are far too trusting to ever see that coming.
01:54:41Come on, let's grab this shuttle and get out of here.
01:54:43My boss wants to speak to you.
01:54:45You mean the elusive man?
01:54:47I know you work for Cerberus.
01:54:49Ah, Jacob.
01:54:50I should have known your conscience would get the better of you.
01:54:53Lying to the Commander isn't the way to get her to join our cause.
01:54:56Well, since we're getting everything out in the open, is there anything else you want to ask before we go, Commander?
01:55:01I've had enough of this station to last a lifetime.
01:55:04Or two, in your case.
01:55:06Come on.
01:55:22I wonder...
01:55:32Pests?
01:55:33Shepherd took down those mechs without any trouble.
01:55:35That has to be good enough.
01:55:37It's been two years since the attack. The elusive...
01:56:06This is a waste of time. I feel as good as ever.
01:56:10The sooner we start, the sooner we can be done.
01:56:13Start with personal history.
01:56:15Okay. Records show you were a colony kid.
01:56:18Lost your parents when slavers hit Mindoor.
01:56:21You enlisted, and you survived a Thresher Maw attack that wiped out the rest of your team.
01:56:25Do you remember that?
01:56:29Yeah, I remember it. Everyone screaming. Gunfire. Blood everywhere.
01:56:34I was the only one who stayed focused on survival.
01:56:37I read the report. Fifty Marines died in the coups. You were the only one who lived.
01:56:42Satisfied, Miranda?
01:56:44Almost. Let's try something more recent.
01:56:47Vermeier, where you destroyed Saren's cloning facility.
01:56:50You had to leave one of your squad behind to die in the blast.
01:56:54Lieutenant Caden Alenko was killed in action. It was your call. Why did you leave him behind?
01:57:00We should move on.
01:57:02There are other tests we really should run.
01:57:04Come on, Miranda. Enough with the quizzes.
01:57:07The memories are there, and I can vouch for Shepard's combat skills personally.
01:57:12I suppose you're right.
01:57:14We'll have to hope the Illusive Man accepts our little field test as evidence enough.
01:57:18I guess my audience doesn't like Mass Effect, because when I turn it on, a bunch of my viewers just drop.
01:57:35Okay, hint taken.
01:58:18See you, everybody.
01:58:48Thanks for watching.
