Hello my name is Thai. I create highly produced video essays about a variety of topics important to me. I want to spread positivity through my work.
I work a part time job and go to school so I can only put out videos once every few months. It's a lot of time and work, so if you want to support me, the best way is my patreon: www.patreon.com/videothai?fan_landing=true
This video puts me at such ease Finally someone talking about invincible and not saying everyone in that universe is soo weak Like it’s not about the power scaling it’s about the storytelling I guess some people just aren’t smart enough to understand that 🤷
I watch cartoons from the mid 80s through the mid 90s to this day and the shows I loved still hold up. The stuff my nephew watched as a child wasn't bad, but a great deal of new cartoons are not too good. I either hate the animation, the writing, or both and its so rare I find a new cartoon I like unless its adult animation like invincible or x-men 97. But the cartoons i grew up with that were for kids i enjoy as an adult too
Forget Miles Morales. Mark Grayson is the spiritual successor to the promise and potential of Peter Parker. That's why he's great and why Invincible is one of my favorite comics and now one of my favorite ongoing shows. The other way I'd pitch Invincible to someone is, "What if Peter Parker became Suoerman and got thrown into a Dragon Ball story."
your pitch to someone is very misleading and make who ever is extremely confused because show is nothing like the character of spiderman and the world around him and invincible is bad idea for a successor
Actually the Silver Surfer was able to go back and change some of the mistakes he made. In a work of fiction, anything is possible. It is only in the real world of limitations that we must learn from our mistakes and learn to live with them.
After watching the first season of Invincible recently, I can say it stands on the line between DC and the Boys. It has the brutality and some subversive elements that the Boys has, but it still retains several of the optimistic traits of traditional comic book stories of actual heroes (Not just superpowered celebrities to drive home the anti-American/Capitalist message that seems to be overdone these days).
I personally think marvels best character is hands down, the silver surfer. Sure spiderman is great, but only speaks for a neighborhood. Along with alll their other characters. Silver surfer show what true morality should be on a cosmic and universal scale. Just like DCs Superman. They are both my absolute favorites.
I appreciate the "positive spin" approach to this. So many people focus on the failures and the decline as just a veiled expression of their own opinions about new cast members and series.
They have so many good sketches that it's no wonder your list is so massive. That said, here are some of mine: - "How Tall is Grant?" + "Is Grant Keith from Buzzfeed?" Some of the snappiest editing and timing you will EVER see in a sketch - "Makeup for a Week" I love it when they do the fake documentary style thing. Points also to "If Angels in the Outfield was real" - "Who Got Me Sick" I think Trapp (my pick for CH MVP) just wants an excuse to wear a detective costume... And that's just some at the top of my head. There are SOOOOOO many good ones...
Kinda weird that you think they might ‘resurrect’ Collegehumor as a brand when they literally killed it off a couple weeks ago. They changed the CH youtube page to Dropout as they premiered a new promotional video - that’s their identity going forward. Would’ve made a lot of sense to feature that in this video.
Was a pretty casual fan of college humour until the new cast came along but i still remember the classics like "guy stuck in history class" XD Best of luck getting a job a dropout if the opportunity ever presents itself 🙏
as a longtime fan of CH (been watching since i was in 4th grade, senior in college now) I'm so happy to finally see a positive take on the channel. great video!!
Great video! One note -- CH didn't share an office with Drawfee, Caldwell and Nathan were illustrators for College Humor who created Morning Drawfee as a warm up for their workdays and thought it would be fun to record them. They started posting the videos on Facebook and then eventually RU-vid, only to become independent after CH Media was sold.
Nice vid. I can't say that any of these artists would make me pick up a comic. I prefer realism personally. If you took away the color in all of these examples they wouldn't shine nearly as much. I would say that all three are clearly inspired by anime. Jimenez can make interesting camera angles but his faces aren't much to look at.
Tradd Moore's art tOtally gives me the feeling of being a kid & picking up a comic book for the first time. It is thrilling to still be able to experience that feeling today. I loved to hear that he & Ian Bertram share a studio space, inspiring stuff
