I absolutely LOVE the rival dynamic. I think it has so much potential for storytelling and also gives the opportunity to make the characters relatable. Some of my favorite examples besides Midoria and Bakugo are Shoto and Toya (there's some interesting parallels there), Catra and Adora from She-Ra, Jinx and Vi from Arcane, Kageyama and Hinata from Haikyu, Azula and Zuko from Avatar The Last Airbender, Fujino and Kyomoto from Look Back, and even some examples from real life like Metallica and Megadeth. I've even had these sorts of rivalries in my own life from my time playing competitive Splatoon. I can say firsthand that rivalries really make you question what your goals are and the kind of person you want to be because it makes you stare at your insecurities in the face. There's nowhere to hide, and because of that, you have no choice but to improve yourself or you'll be left behind. I think that's why these dynamics are so compelling if done right. And I also think it's why a lot of the time these characters end up being really close by the end of the story.

Everything and I mean E V E R Y T H I N G About that movie is perfect, the voices are nice to listen to, the visuals are CINEMATIC to say the least, the story, the pacing- it literally needs it’s own museum. Scenes of it are even on yt!

This is an amazing movie and I am glad to see more people talking about it!

I'm so happy about the way you analyzed Katsuki, there are still so many people who don't understand the point of his character or the journey he has to go through and how it all ties to Izuku's character development as well. They both wouldn't be nearly as compelling without the other and their dynamic is so interesting to watch. The last bonus chapter (431), which I don't consider to be canon since Horikoshi didn't participate in its creation, kind of ruins the relationship Katsuki and Izuku have built for me since I feel like Izuku's spark completely died along with the embers and he felt really ooc. Will you be making a video about it? I've discussed it with several people by now and I'd be interested in hearing about someone's opinion who's also aware of the ways their dynamic works.

Fun fact: turn on the subtitles fir primitive technology and you'll know exactly what he's up to

I know this essay is three years old, but great job.

Just watched it today!! It was/is an amazing movie!! I'll be sure to check out the box set

My silly lovely rivals I love them way to much

They son:😒💢😠 is my favourite shipping

it was beautiful

I’m a trans masc dude. But at my school there’s a lot of toxic masculinity. Then I started MHA, and Kirishima is exactly the man I had always hoped to be. He’s been my favorite mha character and one that I look up to, and Crimson Riot too (despite their being little screen time of him). They both just give me a better view on what kind of man I want to be.

Escanor appeared, W video.

Thank you for talking about cartoon saloon!!!

Watching this after watching it and I live in Falmouth!

Anime: I love all the yakuza, like Kai, Chronostasis, uhh.. *reads smudge on hand* Nematode...

Honestly my first exposure to mha was my friend yapping about it, and he said like "there's this one character who's like, obsessed with manliness". And from that small description I expected to dislike Kirishima, because.. c'mon. A shonen character who shouts about being manly? That's dime a dozen. And it genuinely warms my heart how much he's totally subverted my expectations, and how much I've come to love him for it

I love this video so much!...I literally cried the whole duration of this video. When you said that Atul lost to a suicide, I broke down. I didn't think of this before. I thought that he just dissapeared...You did such a great job and this video was so comforting. Such a good way to end Spiritfarer chapter in my life. Thank you<3

Conservatives can and do support shows like the Owl House and She-Ra. The problem isn't conservatives but the fanatical religious right. I'm a strict constitutionalist conservative and love both of those shows. I'm also a gnostic Atheist. Conservatives are about keeping government small and ensuring individual liberty, not controlling the sexuality of others. It was after Regan that the evangelists began to infect the party. They need to be kicked back into the shadows and told to mind their own business.

kirishima is such an angel, i love him ❤

Kirishima is actually an insanely good character, and it's so impossible to find men like him irl😭

it hurts when i tried to go to summer and gwen's room to give them food (they're already in the everdoor) and the realization hits. Damn it hurts....

Both science fiction and fantasy have a huge deficiency in how much they include biochemistry, geochemistry, weather, geology, biology, neurology and psychology. There's always vague chemistry or physics going on but beyond that I think a lot of speculative fiction writers ignore huge parts of what makes magic and specualtion so much fun in terms of how much you can play with every aspect of reality. Octavia Butler, Ted Chiang, China Mieville, Phillip K Dick, Thomas Ligotti, Jorge Luis Borges, Ursula K Le Guin and China Mieville all have fantastic fiction emphasize nontraditional aspects of sci-fi and fantasy, and their settings and characters naturally trigger philosophical thoughts.

My favorite is tokoyami, but I like kirishima.

Agree with your end game relationship. Honestly the start of a relationship is like what it is the start of a relationship. Getting in a relationship is one thing but staying together is a whole different thing. I think lumity does this well. They have conflict in their relationship but it feel organic not shove in for drama. Along with you can see how their relatioship grow

I love Luz and Amity! And Adora and Catra and Korrasomi. I really don't get why people are so against gay people. We're just people like everyone else. We are all different and we need to learn to accept those differences and love the people around us

I can't even find this movie for under $500 USD unless I want it in French and even then the cheapest I could find was around $60 USD. I would love to see Wolf Walkers, but not at those prices.

This world needs way more shows like Steven Universe and at the same time doesn’t deserve shows like Steven universe.

When I found out that John of Primitive Technology actually _explains_ what he's doing in the closed captions, I had to turn on CC and go back and re-watch all his videos. I highly recommend doing that!

Mina was always his classmate in middle school

thank you toh for portraying not only a queer couple (actually multiple technically), but also a genuinely healthy relationship without all that really annoying misunderstanding tropeyness

I'm struck by the frequency and obscurity of the footage you're backing up your words with. Damn... (I'm only a bit into the video)

my favourite anime of all time. i'm also hella depressed. i guess it's all coming together hahaha 🥲

Thats why Spiritfarer is my favorite game

OH WOW you went to Falmouth University! Me too! : ) Studied Fine Art BA and Authorial Illustration MA!! : )

This was a great video! Really well edited and your voice is very soothing to listen to, thanks so much for making it! : )

Such an amazing show ❤

2:56 ok but can we talk about how Catra isn't even toxic anyway. her best friend of her entire life literally left her for the people their organization is against. you cant really lame her for being so rude and arrogant. also Lumity is actually my fav ship like ever its just so comforting and I don't know why its just a masterpiece

Yea- best sub ever.

I actually love this so much, immediately subbed

the fact that Kirishima’s inspiration to enroll in UA was the news stories about Deku saving Bakugo is so heartwarming and ties this idea together

4:21 idk why but i laughed so hard i got a nosebleed 😭😭

Kirishima is my boy

34:41 Just close your eyes and imagine a mod where she says yes and accepts at one random point 🙂

I took years to finish the game, more because of the intense farming requirements and similar stuff (and also because I locked progression with Bruce that delayed some upgrades); but, even then, when I finally finished it this year it just broke me. Atul had remained in the ship with me since I started the game back in 2021, and how he left was painfully similar to how a family friend left us when I was a teenager; Jackie hit very close to home, with his worries and internal conflicts; Stanley's childish worries just destroyed me, and Gustav's leaving after such a long time, with those hugs he gave me, felt like watching that cool professor you had go away. It's a very kind game, which can make you cry a lot, but never because it's trying to hurt or cheaply tear-jerk you: instead, it speaks from the heart, and that's why it hits so hard. Thanks for the vid, Curmudgeon!

lovely video and analysis!! - have you seen solar sand's video about the sublime? it's an excellent (much longer) watch. you demonstrated a high level of proficiency in this area here that really lines up with what was said there. - i was BLOWN AWAY by the primitive technology connection- i'm a long time lover of his work, and it seems to be having a huge influence on a lot of new art/media. i still remember my jaw dropping when i saw it referenced in an episode of rick and morty for the "perfect level" bit. john plant's editing style really seems to hit something deep and comforting for folks. - something that came up from me initially that was resolved by the end of your essay was the difference between the "sublime" and the"Eldritch". they're really similar, but there is a useful distinction between them that I feel justifies, keeping both in my vocabulary. i want to say more about the show and some of the ideas it stirred in me- thinking about alienation, what it means to be alien, and why "alien" sci-fi has gained such traction in the last half-decade or so- but I think I'll save that for a video of my own instead of trying to fit it all in here lol. a couple of final recs for the road: - 8 million species of aliens (YT video, exurbia) - an unkindness of ghosts (novel, rivers solomon) thanks again for making this 💜💜💜💜

Great video!

3:08

Deku barely has a grudge against Bakugo and he has 7 quirks now that pretty much makes him more powerful than bakugo. So how could they even be "perfect rivals" at that point?

There is a friend... he calls me luz.. I call him Amity... I want him... I don't know if he want me... damn..

Great video!
