      Spot on, Im in the middle of slowly binging your videos , while hoping i don't hit the end of them too soon. I love the variety of topics, the beautiful - disturbing images, the text, basically everything....All of which are very pleasing, causing many, many dopaminergic neurons to display firework-like displays in my brain after day after long f****** day of unpraised laborious work. You'll reach 1 mil subs tomorrow. or very soon. Ty for the content ....also shoutout to my boy saxo

    You should read the children of Odin… there’s a particular anecdote or story of a very similar nature towards the end of the book. It involves the child of a guy getting his kingdom usurped by his uncle, the boy lives in the woods as a wild man and bandit. He then becomes strong and infamous, Retuening years later and basically killing the king in combat and all of his close Allies.. he did this by fire as well.. there was no romance but it was written as a childrens tale
    I don’t remember all the details unfortunately but the audiobook can be found for free on UA-cam. This must be a different rendition of the story of Amleth

I kept seeing this video on your channel and I kept thinking that I need to watch that movie before I watch this video. I finally decided enough was enough and that I will watch it tonight and oh my lord, it was amazing! It's everything I love about The Lighthouse but better. Thank you so much for indirectly turning me onto this movie.

    Psst, just FYI, at 14:06 that should be "wary", not "weary". To be wary of something is to pay heed to it and be cautious of its possible dangers. Weary is a synonym of tired. One should be wary of making mistakes once they become to weary ;)

    14:08 you mean to say either "leery" or "wary", meaning cautious or distrustful, but like many people you combined the two and said "weary", which means sleepy. That's my vocab nerd deed for the day, you're welcome.

    It's weird to listen about film that I turn off LAUGHING because they showed supposedly Rus, and I'll bet that at least half of the extras screamed in Polish. XD No, it's not a matter of language similarity, East Slavic languages are not similar enough for me, as a Pole, to confuse them with my language.
    On serious note- murdered people screaming in my language caused me, firstly, to feel something more than usual in scenes of this type, and secondly, not root for the protagonist, because how can you wish well to a guy who murdered an entire village?
