Watched this last night on Patreon, and as always from HiTop it was an excellent and artistic dissection into a piece of narrative media. One of the reasons I’ll always respect Alex’s view on stories even when I don’t agree with them is because he comes at them from the perspective of a storyteller and filmmaker himself. You can tell he’s grown a lot from his earlier days on YouTube where he acted way more like people today act on this app when all we do is consume. You naturally have a different outlook on things once you yourself have underwent the creative process. You’re able to appreciate things more and are willing to listen to what the artist is trying to say, even if you’re ultimately in disagreement with it in the end. These are the kinds of nuances I want to engage in more rather than absolutes.

Same universe btw.
