  • After Puss in Boots The Last Wish it proved that animation is a perfect excuse to make an antagonist that truly impacts the audience as much as the protagonist does.

    Another little detail is that when Riley crashes into her friend, she says she didn’t even see her.
    At the start of the movie Anxiety says Fear protects Riley from what she can see, while Anxiety from what she can’t see. Fear wasn’t there to stop Riley, and Anxiety couldn’t fill that role.

    I wish Embarrassment, Envy, and Ennui were fleshed out more and shown how harmful they could be if they go overboard, like Anxiety.
    Riley could be scared of embarrassing herself by messing up during practice, thus no longer wanting to do anything that would put her in an uncomfortable situation and losing motivation.
    Riley could have felt envious that her friends were going to the same school without her and envious of how good Val is (rather than only admiring her), thus making her want to be better at hockey and make new friends.
    Ennui could be Riley giving up- she no longer has interest in hockey after all the stress she is going through

      While I would love to see the other emotions do more things, i don't think its necessary for each emotions to become a big problem for Riley to overcome, people don't feel all emotions equally, and as a result have different problems, for example Riley isnt too embarrassed for it to be a problem for her, but she does feel a lot of anxiety so it becomes an overwhelming emotion and causes problem

    I wish Fear was kept in the command center. Fear is very much an adjacent emotion to Anxiety and I wish he had been kept as the insider member of the original cast. Perhaps initially agreeing with Anxiety on things and slowly realizing she’s going to crash the ship.

      He kind of did admire her in the movie and put her on a pedestal and compared Joy to her initially, but slowly understands that she was going to be Riley's ruin if she wasn't stopped. Though, it would have been a good idea if he stayed with the new emotions, more obviously idolizing Anxiety only left to help Joy and the other main emotions after things started to go south.

    I think Anxiety was very well written as far as her role, character arc, and parallel to Joy in the first movie. I would consider her my favorite Inside Out character, not just because of that, but honestly I don’t think I’ve ever resonated so much with a movie character, let alone an antagonist.

    Something I love about anxiety is that she is very accurate, in my opinion, about how anxiety can act. I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) which causes me to just worry excessively about really anything my brain decides that day. While anxiety isn't a tiny anthropomorphic character inside my head, the rationality and the things anxiety does as a character and to Riley are very very accurate to what it feels like to live with GAD to an extent. I had never felt so seen in a movie before, I actually cried in the theater. I'm glad that this movie brought open and displays anxiety in such a true-to-life way because most of the time in other movies it isn't shown super great.

  • @kaylenvee8150
    @kaylenvee8150 4 дні тому +152

    I think the most fascinating part of Anxiety's character and why she serves as a good antagonist is that she basically acts like how Joy did in the first movie. Too overbearing and too controlling; they never let the other emotions have control over the console and pushed everyone away. They behaved the exact same way and experienced the same consequences - An unheathy mental state for Riley. And I firmly believe that ALL the emotions are capable of becoming like Joy or Anxiety if they have too much control. NONE of them are explicitly bad, they're only bad in excess.
    Some of the new emotions in Inside Out 2 get some hate for being primarily negative emotions and not really demonstrating their purpose, but I don't believe that. First of all, the first movie already made the point of how there is no 'bad' emotion. All of them have a purpose, and secondly, I think the fact that we know so little of the new emotions and what they can do served as reinforcement to Anxiety's controlling behaviour. She hogged the console so much that the other emotions no longer got to shine and SHOW why Riley needs them. And I have a couple of theories to what their purpose in Riley's life is.
    Embarrassment: I think he's supposed to serve a similar role as sadness, and I may be reading too much into it, but I think that's why they got along in the movie. The display of sadness encourages other people around to act. To empathize, to grieve, to be there for Riley and comfort her. Embarrassment is the opposite. He's there as a signal so people know to give Riley SPACE without being aggressive like say, the dinner table scene in the first movie with Anger. If Riley instead looked embarrassed, then it would've been more clear that they shouldn't push this topic too hard and they would've given her some space and revisit the conversation another time. He serves as a support for Riley's need for personal space and privacy.
    Envy: Although it was framed more as admiration, I think the point of Envy is to serve as a form of motivation for Riley. She gives Riley a goal or objective to strive towards by having someone else serve as this model to follow. She's one way for Riley to be pushed towards her ambitions and goals; because she admires this person.
    Ennui: She's definitely the oddest one, but I think the point of Ennui is to serve as this baseline emotion that ensures that Riley can continue her day, even with the bare minimum. Think about when she was introduced. She's the last of the new emotions to be introduced and throughout that time, the other emotions were very overwhelmed by the newcomers and none of them knew what to do. That's when Ennui shows up and takes control of the console, making sure Riley responds and is able to function and interact with others. She's there so Riley can still function normally while getting her inner bearings together. She's the steady bar that Riley can hold onto while regaining her balance.

    • @TheOfficialIDKChannel

      @wanderingaceminecraftandmo8034 3 дні тому +14

      I did have the thought that while the new emotions have lots of negatives due to connotations, I thought about how they also could be beneficial. Anxiety plans for the future, embarrassment subtly shows someone your boundaries, envy can push you to improve to be like those you admire, and ennui helps you to take a chill pill.

      @@blackqweenmars that was kind of the point, and it makes sense from a psychological perspective. Anxiety is one of the easiest emotions to spiral out of control, because it preys on our fear of the unknown. Think about it like horror movies, where the monster is always scarier when it's not shown to you, because it means your imagination runs wild and whatever you can come up in your head is always going to be scarier because it's tailor made to your fears. Imagine THAT, but applied to your everyday life.

      Exactly ! Joy was definitely at the same time the protagonist but also the actual antagonist (not villain) of the first movie coz under all the smiles, she was a control freak and was in "my way or the high way" mode. Which made her character arc about discovering the value of sadness after losing Bing Bong, and finally be a team player instead of a dictator.
      Which kinda bummed me out at the beginning of the movie since we see her first happily give the reign to her teammates (great, she learned from her mistakes from the first movie)... and sent all the "unnecessary" memories to fly to the back of Riley's mind so that her personality tree could be exactly as she sees fit (Aaargh ! She hasn't learnt anything at all !). That's the kind of stuff I don't like about sequels, where all the lessons from the previous movie are basically rubbed under the carpet, and here we go for another round.
      So now, Joy has to, once again, relearn to let go, and at the end, impart that lesson to Anxiety, who's basically having the exact same character arc than Joy in the first movie.
      So I'm a bit frustrated by this movie. On the one hand there are so many magnificent moments, and overall, it's certainly a near flawless movie that I really enjoyed, but the more I think about it, the more just this one detail of Joy having forgotten her lesson from the first movie so that she has to relearn it, and the entire premice of the movie is hinging on it is kinda bumming me out.

      -if you start feeling funky when youre in your bed, get out and walk around (itll help make it easier to sleep after the attack passes)
      -have something sugary like a caramel afterwards, the ickiness goes away faster
      -DONT fight it when it happens, you cannot stop it, only ride it out. if you fight it, you risk making it last longer.
      -tell someone you know will help you when the funky begins, have them either walk you around or just sit with you. they dont even have to say anything, but having someone there helps even if minimally

Funny mentioning Miguel because Anxiety reminded me a bit of Miguel besides not being a bit of a jerk. Both wanted complete control(Miguel over the lives of spider people and Anxiety over Riley) and thought it was for the greater good and the protagonist Miles and Joy(well at least at the end) know you can’t control the life of someone and people should be able to live their own lives and make their own decisions

    The antagonists are not always “villains” they are just doing what they think is right, but it sometimes backfires. Anxiety is a core emotion for practically everyone, especially during everyone’s teen years. I know because I have experienced it myself. There are times where I feel like my anxiety went off the rails, I would always think about things that could go wrong, whether it be me screwing up a choir audition/performance, or failing a test. I tend to overthink the bad scenarios, and how to fix them, but when it approaches, anxiety ultimately causes me to fall apart in the end. There was a time where I had a literal panic attack when I was singing in front of the classroom, I was so nervous I would screw up, and all my worries came true.

I enjoyed this analysis very much, but do admit I was happy that I'd already seen the movie, as I didn't expect the video to go right into all of the details of the film's conclusion without any warning. Thank you for posting this!

  • @Jmaniac9204

    Well, a villain at its core is an antagonist or at least it's a type of antagonist. A character can be a villain and an antagonist. for example Death in PIBTLW is a villain. He goes out of his way to try and kill Puss who didn't lose his last life. He's actively tormenting him throughout the movie. He isn't just "doing his job" he's going out of his way to try and kill Puss. But at the same time he's also a direct antagonist to Puss as he represents Puss' fears and insecurities and is directly in opposition to Puss. An antagonist is a character who's goals and motives conflict with the protagonists which leads to conflict. So someone like Darth Vader is an antagonist, Davy Jones is an antagonist, Jafar is an antagonist, etc.

    If you noticed in the beginning of the movie, Joy was throwing out bad memories and created Riley's naive worldview. Anxiety was influenece by and took it a stepped further with a even more self-centered one. Joy realized when she tried to put it back it didn't work because Riley had discovered a new sense of self when she remembered the bad memories that filpped her morality around into a more sympathic sense of self.

She's even a great foil for the protagonist because she's not gloomy and introspective like sadness was in 1, personality wise you almost get a sense she would be bffs with Joy if only they weren't supposed to share Riley's mind's cockpit.

    I'm surprised in bringing up Puss in Boots there wasn't the comparison of the anxiety attacks. I like how both handle it accurately but from the different "perspectives." I honestly think this movie has helped me view emotions in a more healthy manner as much as the first one did, seeing my anxiety less like a "disorder" I need to "fix" as something that is genuinely important (planning for the future) that sometimes gets out of control. It's not inherently bad any more than being sad or angry is. Sometimes you're sad because you need to emotionally process a difficult loss. Sometimes you're angry because the situation you're in is genuinely unfair and you need to do something about it. And sometimes you're anxious because the future is uncertain and you need to consider how your choices will impact it.
    It's scary, absolutely. But that's life. I take deep breaths, counting to 4. Learned that one from the Owl House. When I lock up, I try to focus on the next thing I want to do right now. I learned that from Steven Universe. When I spin up a thousand worst case scenarios in my head and can't sleep, I try to think about ways in which things could actually go great instead since that's easier than stopping the energy that anxiety filled me with, just redirecting it. I learned that one from my therapist at 26. I'm glad kids will watch this movie. Because sorry kids, _Anxiety isn't going anywhere._ The future will not be easy.

    So there is something that really confuses me about this movie. I really loved everything about the movie, but I think the whole point of new sense of self was wrong. I mean, we were making a new sense of self with anxiety's moments. But "if I do this they will love me" and stuff doesn't sound like anxiety to me. I personally have anxiety too and sometimes even anxiety attacks, but for me its " What if Im not capable" and stuff. "If I do this they will love me" sounds so much more enviness to me. Even the "I'm not good enough" sense of self sounds much more enviness than anxiety to me. Im frequently using "to me" because I'm not sure if I'm right, but isn't whole point of too much enviness equals not loving yourself enough. Anxiety is usually much more doubting than judging. "What if I'm not good enough" "What if they don't like me" and stuff sounds more like anxiety. And I'm not saying envy is a bad emotion, but envy taking control of you would mean you actually don't like much about yourself and doesn't feel good enough, which is a result of wanting everything that others have and not being happy with yourselves. And doing things that could be not good for you just to fit in or win something, "If I do this they will love me", also sounds much more enviness to me. If Im wrong can someone explain it to me? Because nobody seems bothered by this. (I'm sorry if I did any mistakes I'm not native.)

      They probably didn't want to make the movie too complicated, so they had Anxiety as the Antagonist and the main cast as the Protagonists and gave a few lines to the other new emotions.

    I don’t know if I’m weird for this, but I think the not good enough enough mindset is actually pretty good mindset. If you think you’re good enough, you’re not going to strive to get better and it’s always better to underrate yourself than overrate yourself. A person who thinks they’re good enough isn’t going to try hard or strive to improve. A person who constantly thinks they’re inadequate is going to. The greatest people are insecure and don’t think they’re enough. The truth is, Riley was not good enough or else her coach would’ve said that she was ready. I never let myself believe that I’m good enough and always strive to get better and I’m always competitive.

    Actually Death is kind of a villain since he “cheats” by trying to take Puss’ last life instead of letting Puss just ride his last one out. The movie points out how that’s wrong and unfair towards Puss.
    He definitely still has sort of an Antagonist role considering his actions are directed towards Puss specifically and no one else.

The stimming, the energy, the nervousness reminds me of myself especially also because of the fact that anxiety wants to be a leader, but she’s horrible at it goes too far. I’ve also been trying to be a leader for a very long time and failed after taking things too far.

    with that aside it reminds me alot about myself (im a teenager, btw), which i think is the point of the movie.
