Captain Phasma seemed like the new Boba Fett, in that they had a cool outfit and stuff, but they didn't really do anything (I say this having only seen Force Awakens out of all the new movies.)

You think they'd have learned something in 30+ years.

On the contrary, Phasma makes me think they definitely learned something from how people reacted to Boba Fett.

I never really understood the Boba Fett obsession growing up, but then again Wedge was my favourite character so what do I know.

That because you can see an old Wedge sitting on a couch Al Bundy style, letting his ungrateful kids know he survived two death star runs and not that @#$#@$ Jedi. :p

It's a well-worn topic but T1J has a new video asking the question "Is Civil Debate Actually Useful?" and he's on the side on having debate while also cutting through the BS that surrounds these conversations.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

The "downfall", huh? Well, Channel Awesome still has like a billion zillion subs on YouTube so this was more like a bump in the road then a downfall. And not even a sharp bump, apparently.

On the other hand, someone talking about this mess for close to three goddamn hours is a rather incredibly self-own, I'll give him that. However, no way in hell I'm willing to watch someone putting their head so far up their rear end their body assumes doughnut-shape.

The "downfall" of Channel Awesome is not implied to be a downfall of popularity.

And he only talked about it for 80 minutes and that's still a long video but there's a lot to unpack with #ChangeTheChannel and it's important that people talk about this.

Wow, these paint a different light on things now that I've got a better idea of what the Roseanne show was at the beginning and the changes it went through. Especially since- I dunno know if anyone was keeping up on Roseanne Barr beyond sudden racist tweets- I didn't think much about the show even despite thinking it was pretty good TV when I was twelve or whenever I was watching it.

I already felt weird about watching yet another video about the whole thing that wasn't made by the people who were actually involved. I didn't get a good feeling about him from the get go but as soon as he started talking about having actual contact with the two "new" actors I tapped out. Veeeery parasocial relationshippy.

And apropos people who's videos are impossible for me to finish thanks to whoever posted those videos about Dave Rubin.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

I like their idea of why the marvel universe worked so well for so long and others didn't. that its all about taking stuff slow and steady and building threats and ideas and such. DC and star trek and others blew their load right off the bat.

Ya gotta know this is like, the corporate-approved marketing fantasy of why the movies do well. No-one went to see Iron Man and came out saying they really liked how low-key it was, and hundreds of films have had a next-time baddy gurn at the audience near the end. The MCU has made bank using very old-fashioned tools: shitloads of marketing, a consistent product, and carefully nurtured brand loyalty.

I think that having their movies start out from then move in toward each other worked very well in building that brand loyalty. The shared Marvel banner serving to associate the prestige of Iron Man with the subsequent movies for promotion purposes turning to a genuine brand loyalty as each subsequent movie failed to bomb, so that the real start of the shared cinematic universe was built on separate foundations of decent movies. In comparison, the attempts to manufacture shared universes fail precisely because they don't build this initial brand loyalty, opting instead to simply mimic the phenomena by going straight to promising a big expansive cinematic universe to an audience that doesn't yet exist.

The DC shared universe is just here's a new Superman, oh yeah and do you remember Batman?? Anyway, here's them and Wonder Woman fighting literally Superman's most iconically powerful enemy and did you catch the references to the Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman? Because they were really long and frankly of confusing service to the plot of the movie, anyway Superman's dead, see him next time on the Justice League because you know we didn't just put him on the movie poster for laughs. Green Lantern's not in this because his movie actually bombed rather than just received poor reviews. Hey, here's a Wonder Woman movie and an Aquaman movie - enjoy. It's house with one foundation - Man of Steel - and it's not a good foundation.

Iron-Man is plenty lowkey compared to later movies and other franchises like X-Men we already had at the time.
