Something about knowing that people out there find this kind of content compelling is so depressing it feels me with utter dread. Like to add insult to injury of course the person reacting to the video essay is gonna be constantly pausing throughout it so it should take at LEAST twice as long to finish the video.
So… if someone is reacting to THAT reaction it’s gonna take like 8 hours to get to the end of the video like jesus christ WHAT on earth are you people doing.
IIRC the right wing YouTuber MauLer released three 8 hour videos that were supposed to be a moment by moment criticism of The Last Jedi.
I mean, I didn’t like the movie either, but what the fuck?
If I ever had to torture someone I'd totally use that vid on repeat
The one person on earth who actually watched the full length of those videos is 100% confirmed a serial killer.
I honestly like those videos, they’re very thorough but also have lots of outside context and background and stuff, it’s great background noise that is interesting enough
Mauler is a fucking loser who should be walled, though. But He’s not wrong about those movies imo
The work I do leaves me with the ability to listen to things, but not things I have to give full attention to. So an infinite video about star wars (or a 30 hour Skyrim retrospective for example) is something I can listen to without needing to catch every narrative thrust or moment
Jenny Nicholson is the best tho
Jenny Nicholson is pure unintentional ASMR
You have a problem with condensing your points if your criticism is over ten times longer than the film itself.
On the other hand there's a 13 hour essay on Morrowind I quite like.
13 hours is condensed if you consider how much time you can spend in Morrowind
