Not to be that guy, but Encanto’s not PIXAR

Was Original Reek really not mentioned in the show at all?!

9 minutes in and I couldn’t disagree more. If you saw Danny as good in those seasons that’s your own lack of morality. It’s not about “framing” it’s the fact she always had some kind of reason for her cruelty. But in Season 7- 8 she loses all her agency and just becomes a shell of the character who has no real reasoning for what she dose.

I’ve always found Catelyn to be a compelling character, but not a particularly likable or interesting one. Her treatment of Jon is hard to stomach, and it grosses me out when people try to justify it. That’s why I love these videos though.

My wife and went to the movies to see "Inside Out 2" w/ our 5 year old. We all enjoyed it very much. I think I actually enjoyed the 2nd one more than the first - I liked the idea of new emotions "moving in" to Riley's mind. And I liked how Anxiety became one of the main emotions, & Anxiety felt that she knew Riley best & took control. That's something that's very easy to relate to as someone who suffers from anxiety. 👍

The words I now use to describe the downfall of GoT is that they fetishized violence. Their dedication to, and dependence on, Ramsay was the most obvious and maybe even the catalyst. Normalizing and validating Ramsay through comedy and charisma communicated a certain lack of character value and encouraged audience members to accept and even identify with that lack of value. And it went on and on, right up to his final scene. They took his popularity as a cue to double down on senseless violence over purposeful and narrative violence, and you can see the uptick in blood and brutality after season 4, when they started giving Ramsay more scenes.

i LOOOOOVE your videos

"I don't need to worry about them as a teacher, because they're always fine. But are they always fine?" 😭😭😭 I was the kid who was always described as funny, engaging, and smart all the way until high school. My English teacher had me stay after class one day and asked, "Are you okay? I feel like you're trying to convince me that you're okay, and that usually means everything is NOT okay." In that past year, my home life had experienced multiple traumas, and she changed my life forever by being the first person to notice I was not okay. She and I are still friends over 20 years later, and I'll never be able to thank her enough for starting my healing journey.

So we're crying together today? Okay

The sound of that happening to the little baby haunts me more than the book description does

I feel so validated by this video. I came across your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoyed your GoT character analysis vids. Flash forward to today and I'm talking to my roommate about my fascination and even sometimes fear with doors and the liminal spaces they can represent. The change that doors reflect and other interpretations too. I told him I was sad because I have never found someone who thought about doors like I do, and that in general I haven't found many people talking about them. I also said I felt silly for being preoccupied with them. 20 minutes after that conversation I was scrolling your playlists and saw the symbolism list. You can't imagine the happiness I felt seeing your video on doors at the top of said list. Thank you for making this, man. I know you said a few times that you weren't sure that anyone would like this video, but you've got at least one fan of it (and many more if the comments and likes are any indication!). I know this video is a few years old, but keep up the good work. Also, the music and art you used in this video were awesome. Really fit the topic.

So I initially came here to thank you for mentioning the issues with Dany’s chapters being that for a good part of our introduction and understanding of her comes from only her perspective. Every other character is thought about or seen from other characters perspective, so even if that character is being an unreliable narrator, we get to at least see or hear about them from other characters to make up our minds about them. Dany is the exception until Ser Barriston arrives. And even then he is someone who was loyal to her family, and wants to see her through rose coloured glasses. However seeing some other comments had made me pause to finish watching your video, so I can come back and comment properly because I have thoughts. I’m prefacing it with saying I think Mad Queen Danaerys is a bit of a stretch, but a villainous, conquerors arc isn’t. And comparing her to other Westerosi characters is kind of like comparing apples and oranges in many ways, specifically because they don’t have dragons like she does. ETA: in regards to the Tarlys… yeah, the framing was different but the horror was different too. While yes, I agree arguably what happened in Qaarth was a worse fate, burning alive (while wearing steel armour btw) isn’t any better. The Tarlys are working under Westerosi understanding and customs. Sure they asked for death cause Randyll is a stubborn jackass and Dickon is a loyal idiot. But their understanding of death is beheading. Not burning alive in a suit of armour by dragon fire. Literally there are Dothraki warriors with arakhs drawn next to them, they would logically think this is the style of execution coming for them. Not dragon fire. And I’m sure Randyll is letting misogynistic ideas influence his thoughts that a girl wouldn’t burn them, despite what he might know about Targ history. But this scene served its purpose, which is to show the difference between Dany’s “justice” and Westerosi, and giving a glimpse to how other Westerosi houses will interpret it when they see it themselves.

This is one of my favourite Pixar films, and I feel like it snuck in under the radar a little bit because it came out at a time when they were consistently releasing brilliant films, but with the benefit of hindsight and some of the rubbish they've made more recently, it's starting to be appreciated a bit better.

This movie hits the visual representation of a feeling perfectly. The way a memory changes with new context. Riley's happy memories from Minnesota stop being happy when she realises they are gone. I have felt the same reflecting on a once happy time and that suddenness really bites. It feels like a stab that is beautifully animated. Then there is the inability to feel the strong emotions of joy and sadness when depressed. Add to that the console going numb and it hits hard as someone that was severely depressed in my teens/20s. The decisions being made by certain feelings. Running away was initiated from anger. The pizza and hockey were joy etc I also love the change in complexity of the console. At birth it's a button where Riley is either happy or sad. It then gets more complex, but is still governed by 1 emotion at a time. As Riley gets more emotionally mature, eventually it's all being run simultaneously by all emotions at once. My favourite detail is anger wanting to swear and fear censoring it I'm a 34 year old man and this film brings me to my knees every time. This kind of care and attention to mental health needs to be implemented into an adult aged film. Joker and Fight Club do a bit, but I mean a really deep analysis of the feelings and their purpose but in an adult context Awesome video mate

Great vid. Could you maybe review Feel Good and I May Destroy you? They run through similar topics, and it would be nice to hear your thoughts on 'em!

Excellent video! If you're on a Pixar kick, I highly recommend Elemental. It's filled to the brim with clever metaphors and stresses the importance of being emotionally available and connecting with one another. Incredibly smart and beautiful film

Will we ever get another book? I dismay.

It was ridiculous in the show that little finger would give Sansa to the Boltons. At the least she was a plaything for him. Like a cat with a mouse. At the outmost Little Finger is trying to make Sansa into Cat.

Odd theory and it’s a bizarre one, he just plainly enjoyed abusing people, he felt weak and helpless when he was younger, he then found himself able to do whatever he wanted to whoever he pleased and just simply enjoyed that.

I see Petyr as wearing a mask screwed on so tight. There is cunning and rage behind that mask.

George R.R. Martin can be completely frustrating.

This movie was so validating for me because as a person in a lot like sadness...especially as a kid. that's not to say I was a depressed kid, but I had a chronic illness, very introverted, undiagnosed ADHD so anxious and had trouble with learning, and most of all I found the outside world really draining. Also I kind of have big eyes that look sad even if I'm not. Its like I have function in a social group..but people can work out what it is. There was a bit with sadness relating to the elephant character...she managed to rally when joy couldn't. And joy was baffled as to how and why. Because sadness is slower, more deliberate...she gets steam rolled over. People are genuinely confused as to when I come up with a solution, or manage to understand what someone is feeling, or why I make them feel better when I'm not a particularly fun person. I dunno..I just understood her character is all

Hello, Mr. Therapist! (I don't know if you have disclosed your name) I found your channel a couple of days ago and I have been binging your ASOIAF character analysis! They are AMAZING! I'm glued to my seat while I'm listening to you analyzing some of the most complex characters in fantasy! On another note, I feel that ASOIAF has a monopoly on almost every entertainment or BookTube channel. I feel like there are other fantasy series that are just as worthy of appreciation and deep, insightful analysis. One of those is The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb who is, by the way, a friend of George R. R. Martin. She is FAMOUS for her character work. Another series is the Malazan Book of the Fallen, which is criminally overlooked and aggressively relegated to the margins of popular epic fantasy. It's my favorite series and I wish RUclips creators would pay it more attention. I hope you will consider reading one of them or both of them and do your wonderful deep character analysis on them. Thank you for your amazing work! 💙

The brutality will come from the dance of Dragons. It would be better to suggest until you have to tell.

Did you break up with World Anvil?

Im a grown 30 yr old man, and i cry evert time BingBong says "Take her to the moon for me" 😢

I do actually agree with you about Brian being the only one to write the essay. It easily could be interpreted as him just trying too hard to fit in with these new people who he saw as friends. However, I like your interpretation that it also shows growth in his self-confidence. I also have a headcanon that Brian had Andy, Allison, Bender, and Claire read over it before they walked out of detention that day because in the end you hear all of their voices in that essay stating who they were. None of them were really taking the task of writing a 1000 word essay about who they were all that seriously because they saw that Vernon was a small-minded asshole and a hypocrite who hates kids. He had already decided who they all were from just the surface and nothing that they did, said, or wrote was going to change his mind. Basically, I think the “essay” that Claire and the rest of the group asked Brian to physically write for all of them was a “Fuck you, Principle Vernon” letter. They just knew Brian could write it down the most eloquently and non-offensively with his more indirectly passive aggressive nature towards people and things that upset him.

If you watch the 2nd one, please explain it. It has a message I want explained by you. please!!!

I had questions,why couldn’t his father let him do extra curricular activities? It's not like he was having bad grade because of it? Moreover neil was confident on that he could handle and balance both,so why not let him?maybe doctors and engineers doesn’t do theaters and music as a hobbies and past time,oh wait they do,and they are certainly capable enough to do both...

I don't think they made him sinister in the TV show. I think they made him more seductive, which is dangerous. The character in the books may have been ridiculed in certain instances, but I can't imagine anyone doing that to the character in the show. I find him too charismatic. Even knowing he's dangerous, I'd easily fall for him. I am quite interested in the character in the books, too, but I may be biased because I watched GoT before reading ASoIaF.

Then you might enjoy inside out 2. it is as good IMO.

Nothing hits harder than smiling while walking around the house for no real reason and your parents ask why are you smiling...Thats when I knew i was depressed.

Superb, I cannot wait for your inside out 2 video. If you played sports as a child you can relate to everything she feels

'she hadn't thought of Jon in ages'- she was dealing with survival and trauma for a long time, so maybe she wasn't exactly reflecting on someone she wasn't necessarily close with when there was so much else going on. As a dv survivor, I spent a good 2 years in survival mode just trying to get by each day and try to be able to financially get out of my situation and not end up on the street. I realized afterwards that I lost 2 years of knowledge about what was going on politically in our country, what was going on pop-culture-wise and I was isolated so I didn't have much contact with people I considered friends- I had moved out of state and gotten into the bad relationship so I had no support- I can see how Sansa being cut off from everyone and going what she went through would push things not immediately important to the back of her mind. (So that's just my total guess!)

The problem is we needed two extra seasons to fall out of love with Dany

"You can never make this kind of film in live action." Herman's Head: Am I a joke to you?

Hurray for Inside Out! Hurray for IFS! Hurray for you for talking about both!

15:56 excellent choice of words. Even though you don't know it yet.

While I did enjoy INSIDE OUT as a film, I personally never really liked DISGUST in the movie, primarily for two reasons. 1.) I don't think the emotion DISGUST is important enough include as of one of predominant emotions and 2.) I don't like Mindy Kaling (especially after the BS she's been doing currently). I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has problems with DISGUST in the film, so thank you for that! Also on a random second note: we actually DO get SHAME as a new emotion in INSIDE OUT 2 (however I guess through the eyes of Hollywood Executives or SJW, it would be WRONG to actually acknowledge that we as people have that emotion, so they chickened out and labeled it EMBARASSMENT not to offend anybody. I mention that because IDC what anyone says, it's SHAME!! They labeled it EMBARASSMENT, but it's SHAME, it's clearly SHAME!)

gghhhhhhhh

Nobody cares, but I really want to talk somewhere about my little problem with the sequel. So the idea of EMOTIONS being some kind of full sentient characters, who can have other emotions on their own always felt weird to me. But then I thought about it, and maybe they are more like manifestations of the same person, of different sides of the same person (like you say in this video!). It makes a lot more sense imo. In the end there are no little colourful men in your head, controlling what you do:) But in the second movie Reilly and her emotions felt really separated, at least to me. I can no longer imagine how everything that’s going on in Reilly’s head is, pretty much, her. How joy didn’t understand what even is sadness for, trying to suppress it ended up unable to do anything herself, and all who were left were anger, fear and disgust etc. It worked really well! Maybe that “sense of self” thingy wasn’t necessary at all. I watched some interviews with the creators, they wanted to lean into emotions being kind of parental figures, and I’m not sure if I like it. Felt a little like it used to be a story very dear to me, all about a young girl learning to live life, and then those fIlThY AdUlTs came and stole it for themselves! Sorry if there’re some grammatical mistakes. I’m still learning English.

I think it's the most simple movies/books, children or adult, that are the most potent. It's a good reminder we are human and are born with these innate things called feelings/emotions. We forget how much they have shaped us into the adults we are now.

Jack Gleeson gave the world a memorable, brilliant performance and he should be honored for that. I happen to be one of those people who was horrified at that final frozen image of his dead face at the end of that episode...he was, ultimately, just a young boy. When Ramsey Bolton died his equally-grotesque death, I felt no pity for him at all. I do remember one moment of vulnerability for Joffrey - when he asked his mother that one time if the rumors about her and Jaime were true. I flashed on the fact that he's spent his whole childhood hearing those rumors, never able to directly address them. Did he in his heart wonder whose son he really was? Then his mother slaps him and he snaps into cold King Joffrey and the moment was gone.

This movie portrayed the depression I felt as an adult which resulted from the lack of an autism diagnosis as a child as me having lost everything and having no hope. I hate this movie, I hate the people who made it. It's a horrible thing to suggest to someone.

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

My big thoughtless plant

would love to hear your thoughts on the sequel!!

W...what happened to World Anvil?

great work on covering this Pixar Film hope you'll cover Part 2 soon
