this feels more like an episode of terrible writing advice
I know right
Notice him sempai.
TWA would never go more than 1 minute without talking about himself.
We went for 5 minutes without mentioning the love triangle!
i feel like james has had a few episodes that did.. but i am loving the affect
Also, make it a trilogy. The first part will seem somewhat self contained, but the next two will only make sense if viewed or read together.
Exactly, make sure the way in which your stories were funded is blatantly obvious in your narrative structure
Otherwise it’s obviously not a real space opera
Ouch.
I'm writing my own novel and feel called out.
@@blupdaboloh Seconding this. I am working on an tertiary plot that carries forward throughout more than one book, but otherwise I hope to make each novel somewhat self-contained. 🖊
Long hair James is making me feel a certain type of way.
Can relate
Long hair looks good on u bro keep at that length. Keep up the good content dawg.
_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_
That type of way had better be a profound Christian reverence for the glory of God.
I know, right?
Extra Rule: Put some german military songs on UA-cam when you writing battle scenes. And sex scenes.
“Oh yeah baby, GOTT MIT UNS!”
“What the fuck.”
“Sorry, being horny makes me patriotic.”

Funny how Dune checks out nearly all of these and the first book at least is good.
Thank you James for validating me. I might be slightly biased, but I would say that my space opera is the esact opposite of what you just said. And as someone who strugles with imposter syndrome, I actully feel more confident about it now. Thank you. :)
"The future of humanity must be steak!"
Me: I couldn't agree more.
Aliens, who want to eat humans: "Thank you for agreeing with us."
Steak liara, think about so much steak
Except it tastes like chicken
Oh, it's (NOT CLICKBAIT!) my favorite kind of clickbait ❤️
No girlz??? Who will make a love tetrahedragon with my male characters?!? :(( :(( :((
The other male characters, duh. Nothing gay about kissing your bros.
@@JamesTullos #nohomo tho *kisses*
GAYS… IN SPACE
Kiss your bros no homo
@@mollof7893 me who's writing a straight up BL mil-SF story:
Step 1: Don't become addicted to "Decapathon".
If step 1 doesn't work: Don't befriend a depressed horse.
This was one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and I loved the character development of the guy over the video... his reading and enunciation got so much better beginning to end! Go him!
intergalactic war and alien women….the perfect mixture to create a space opera !
Amazinc dilevery.
Use heavy metal and rock'n'roll albums and songs and groups for names of whatever. Cartoons work too.
Imagine using the Orgasmatron onboard the Blue Falcon from station Hotel California.
Thanks James! I will start writing my best seller right now!
the way hes talking just gives me anxiety
like he sounds like he drunk and also really really nervous
@Er-Teeus yeah i kinda forgot about that and i thought it was just part of the character he was doing but that makes sense
Thank you! I'll take all this super awesome, amazing, brilliant, outstanding, perfect advice to heart
Just rip off star wars, lawsuit is just a word
I'll just rip off Spaceballs

This video is a literal masterpiece, James you have truly outdone yourself
YOO THE HAIR IS LOOKIN GOOD MY MAN
Grateful to...of being...support patron...space opera...! James Tullos...good job. 🌌
Did anyone write a space opera using this advice? Because I would like to see it.
but but but.... I photosynthesis there! Come on dudes!
bro making me feel bad about my story idea 😭
(all my characters have regular jobs but its set in the future lol) ig i should do more worldbuilding
also im glad ur surgery went well!!! welcome back :0)
James, you ok?
i'm guessing the Foundation series is one of the first space operas?
Thanks, it's been a long time since I've had as much fun as I had on this video 😂
James is wearing a shirt of my favorite cosmere character. I feel seen.
New James video let's gooo
Great video.
Those patreon requests really got to you, James.
The few who owns the means of... Creating value...
Yeeeah, I see what you did there XD
I literally loled when I heard it
I am a space opera... But you could be part of the cosmere!!!
eighteen bamilion dollars
I kept wanting to go like this video. I lost count of how many times I tried to like this video in the first six minutes, only to find out I already did.
This is a pretty phenomenal video. Also congrats on the jaw surgery. You sound fine tbh.
2:14 To be fair, even though quantum physics has quite a solid definition and does, indeed, have real applications on real physics, it's very fundamental nature is not nearly as well understood as you seem to imply over here.

a bit off-topic: you said in older videos that ancient nation cannot supply large armies, but in the manga kingdom they mention very large armies, and i believe that is historically accurate
battles in ancient times were really large. In medieval times, armies were small. It's because of the government systems. Ancient societies were united nations, but medieval kingdoms were much more devided into duchies etc. If you are a count, you can supply lets say 5000 men. Your feudal contract says that you have to give 20% of your men to your king which goes for any other count. therefore the king has only 20% of the real military power in the kingdom + his own military from his domain. that's why battles between kingdoms were much smaller than battles between ancient civilizations. There are other factors, but this one is really important.
Love that shirt
How to write the perfect clickbait title(Not clickbait!)
This has big "Film And You: An Instructional Video" vibes by JonCJG lmfao

A bit late for April Fools, but nice to see your verified.
Me who never touched a space novel: I N T E R E S T I N G
Only hot girls are allowed. 😁
Oh, I see, this is a "reversal" type of satire. Do the exact opposite of what is said and you will write a perfect Space Opera. So it should go something like this:
1. Don't explain the technology.
2. Don't include magic.
3. Focus on characters over plot
4. Exclude white people, don't write in English
5. Fate of humanity can't be at stake
6. Don't include male characters
7. All work needs to be performed by robots.
8. Spacebattles can't happen.
So, the only thing that prevents a slice of life anime about the Japanese schoolgirls learning to learn how to play guitar from being the best space opera ever written is ... the absence of robots.
'This is the future the left wants'
My sister my writer is my favorite space opera
I love the shirt
He's speaking in a quite Jenny Nicholson-ish style
so... is it a problem if i do have some of this stuff? i know its ironic so if its mentioned its probably bad, but a lot of my story hinges on a certain alien species having magic powers...
"Number four *does a Jojo pose* everyone is white and speaks English"
Wow, a parody video that is also great advice.
Did you do this to fantasy already? Gotta check
The fact that I can't like this twice is utterly unfair.
There's no space opera without hot blue alien space women.
And hot gray alien men too :(
James sounds pained throughout this entire video(or it could be him adjusting to his jaw surgery)
Let's go satire
I'm getting a slight whiff of irony from this video...
What a coincidence. I was just playing Mass Effect. It's... kinda janky.
cool guy
this reminds me of bojack horseman is that intended
Hey james
Have you watched logh?
This video makes me uncomfortable, but I still like you.
this is off topic but did you film this after the surgery? your jaw looks so different you look like your own brother instead of yourself o.O
I'm confused
Its sarcasm
Hi confused, I'n farting
what is this man talking about? Sexy Alien are what Sci-Fi should be about
Am a man from the Balkans, can confirm we are nice, cuddly and never get into any trouble with other Balkan people ever.
0 to 1:25 thats accurate af. LMAO
CLICKBAIT OPERA. PEW PEW PEW! ;-7
Just a curious opinion, What’s your opinion on WarHammer 40K? I find it kinda of interesting so, just want an opinion.
Well… On Hitler… If you believe Tarantino then yes, you’re right.
If watching History Channel teached me something, is that Reality really dropped the ball when the Allies defeated Gernany's crazy superweapons with clever strategies and an smarter use of resources instead of bouilding even bigger and crazier superweapons...
... I wonder how many of those "historians" play Warhammer 40k regularly?
Is it a reupload ?
Don’t take this the wrong way because you’re awesome and your voice does sound fine, but the slight lisp really adds to this video
Is James actually JP?
Nah he communicates too clearly and commits to stances too honestly to be JP
Hate space; but good vid in general. 7.321/10
Are you ok? Something about this video feels off…
assuming you don't know, he had jaw surgery. to me, he looks incredibly different in this and it's a tad jarring. Like a multiverse Tullos!
James I usually like your videos but honestly, this isn't very good. Terrible Writing Advice has been doing this style of video for years and even they get annoying fast.
It would have been more interesting if you'd honestly talked about space opera you liked directly
i hope he does!
@Babba Yaaga he made at least one more of these about fantasy
Wait no James I actually have a space opera I'm workshopping. Please actually make a real video on writing one; sarcasm just doesn't do it for me.
yea 😭 i dont rlly know what a space opera is but i want to write a sci-fi story
@@jestersudz6085 star trek is a good space opera.
@@ChanyeolsHaneul ohhh thank you!!
999 like
At least iron the t-shirt ╥﹏╥
so just copy star wars and space battleship yamato and screw logic
Or you can explain absolutely nothing and stick all the information right at the back of the book.
Sorry, I have to stop watching for now, less than two minutes into the video. A premiere of another video starts now. I'll attempt to find out what this shtick is about later.
Get a hair cut, it's starting to look bad.
Or don't get a haircut and it goes past that awk midlength phase.
Idk I kinda like it
