Here's the main thing that's nagged at me about Hazbin. If Heaven claims their whole Extermination business is all about "population control," that implies that they view nearly EVERYONE on earth as a sinner. I only say this because in the episode Welcome to Heaven, not only was it established that no one knew the "right way" into getting into Heaven (not even the Seraphim) but the so-called "rules" they DID hold on the matter were stupidly vague. According to what I've learned, the best way into Heaven was to accept Jesus as your savior and confess any and all sins you had unto him. But at the moment, it feels like neither Jesus NOR God exist in the Hellaverse. If they do, I imagine both of them would feel rather cross about their angels committing acts of mass murder
I’m guessing that’s part of the point though. Heaven and angels being heavily judgemental of everyone who sins akin to how religious conservatives do the same to a lot of other people in real life.
Actually...in the world of the Hellaverse (which is the name fans have given the world of Hazbin AND Helluva Boss,) Charlie's dad ISN'T Satan. Lucifer and Satan are separate entities in this version of Hell, the latter of which is the ruling Sin of Wrath
Fun fact! The Universalists DID believe that people could be redeemed, even after going to hell. So it's not like the idea has no basis within Xtianity. I see Charlie vs. Adam as a theological conflict between the compassionate Universalist, who just wants to help as many people as possible, and the self-righteous Puritan, who revels in the suffering of those they deem undeserving of salvation. As always, great video!
I had a pretty positive church experience growing up, but it was the fundies' continued hate and hypocritical endorsements of people like Donald Trump coupled with the all-too recent family losses in my life that turned me away from religion because it just wasn't comfortable to me anymore. Like you, I became agnostic. Looking back on it, I realize that my turn was probably inevitable, given that the times when I was more Christian, there'd always be some asshole who'd give me lip for being Christian and supporting the marginalized despite Christ's inclusive message of "Love thy neighbor". There was one in particular who gave me flak for being supportive of gay people which ended with the guy equating being gay with being a cannibal. If you want the full story, I'd be happy to tell you, but that's not a story for a RU-vid comment. Anyway, great vid, Riley! Keep being awesome! :)
Paul is a "Hero". But is also a flawed Human. He can be both. But people today just have to put everything in a box. Is much easier to do. Paul could see many possible futures. And the path he chose was the one where Humanity survives. That makes him a villain in some people's eyes. Paul saw the "Golden Path". The path that prevents Humanity from becoming extinct. He did not have the courage to take that path. He left that to his son. But he knew that the Bene Gesserit condemned Humanity to a certain death with "The One". He started the plan to save everything. Was Paul perfect. No. But if he did not make the hard choices he did. Humanity would have been extinguished. He sacrificed the thing he loved the most in order to save the Universe. And still he is called a villain. Paul Atreides is obviously a fictional character. But thank God he had to make these decisions. And not some of the "real" people that only see the surface of a problem. But do not have the will to make the hard decisions that a true leader has to make. By the last Dune book that Frank Herbert wrote. Thousands of years had passed. Years that Paul made possible by his "wicked" choices. Frank Herbert said that the Dune tale was a warning about charismatic leaders. But some people misinterpret that as Paul being a "bad" guy. If you read the whole quote. Herbert says that the followers of such leaders let mistakes that all humans make, get way out of hand. It was a warning to be warry of the process. Not an excuse to place blame. Paul did the best he could. Caused destruction. But ultimately saved Humanity. Seems a bit "heroic" to me.
You do realize that the Bene Jesserit LITERALLY created the “prophecy” right??? So Lady Jessica isn’t twisting anything but going along with the plan all along…… Jesus as if you DIDN’T know anything about Dune……..
Paul isn't a hero, but he is relatable. Most people would choose revenge against those that killed their family. Likewise, most people would seek power if they had the means.
Paul's decision is basically a variation of the trolley problem. On one side you have his family, his people (Fremen and off screen those people on Caladan), and on the other side you have the Great Houses and people under them.
I dunno how this video has only 150 views and you only have 600 subs, or hell, even how tf this even got recommended to me, but as someone who read the books and took a huge interest in the analysis of the books on their "real world" supposed counter-parts, I can only applaud this effort the explain the not-so heroic portrayal of Paul in the movies that somehow sneaked under the radar of so many people. I've heard tons of people who think Paul finally accepted his role as the Messiah in the Part 2, and dedicated his life to saving the universe, when this is actually so far from the truth. Hope this video reaches everyone interested in this truly interesting Sci-Fi universe. Great job dude!
I think these movies pulled that off brilliantly - he isn't a hero and when he takes the mantle he does it with a contained rage, which blew me away (hats off to Chalemet). You're so invested in the movie by that point that you want to see him win even knowing what is to come. He only embraces his destiny as the future where the Fremen (& Chani most of all) are not destroyed. The other adaptations had Paul as more of the hero figure whereas this Paul only seems like a standard hero...if you aren't paying close enough attention.
Speaking as someone with little to no context on DUNE before the new movies, this twist really hit while still feeling like part of the story that has been told so far. The moment I realized "Oh, we'really doing this" was a real moment of transcendence.
HEY! what if i WANNA choke on 12 di- nah but fr this video is goated, may have to subarooski on this one, good video and i hope you have a smooth journey into fully finding yourself! :)
"The thing that should not be" & others while reading manga 18 years ago. Great vibes, great time. Tried to listen to S&M2 and St. Anger and the vibes weren't there
Since when? Originally came from the phrase , "built like a brick shit house". Probably mostly used to describe a man, but could be used for a woman too. Equal opportunity phrase ... not one that could ever be used to describe Tom Cruise though.
I read Frankenstein and was very disappointed by the story. But I found "Poor Things" a great movie, except for the many gratuitous sex scenes. I felt these were unnecessary to the plot and made it more or less smutty as we only needed to know that she had a fascination with sex. It wasn't necessary to show it.
Loving the usage of footage from the Kenneth Branagh "Frankenstein" adaptation, Riley. It's one of my favorite versions of the story. I'm definitely keen on checking out "Poor Things" now. Wasn't sure about it at first.
wow I felt the exact opposite if anything poor things showed me why life isn't worth living. ask yourself this did we actually saw that Bella learn anything or we were told that by her? I think it is ONLY the latter and she ended up in the exact same position she was at the begging of the movie only now she is the imprisoner and the prisoner. also Duncan is such an idiot, he gave her a very clear deal which Bella fully understood and kept breaking which Bella fully understood and he fully understood. Then WHY DO YOU KEEP BREAKING IT? that won't get you what you want at all even he said it in the movie. There is a god dam limit to actions that come out of "instinct" and Duncan past it by a long shot.
Enjoy these times this is the golden era for LGBT community. Future generations will rebel against today's values especially if the population decline would become critical. They will blame the games and movies. Second, members of a certain religion will become more numerous and they will be regarded as models of sustainable societies and they will have the power to install Sharia law in certain regions and this will add to the backlash against LGBT community.
But if somehow the science can solve the population decline problem, then yes, I think everybody should be more acceptable of people orientations. Future generations will still rebel somewhat, but there will be a lot less fuel against LGBT.
I always wondered why they used Tom Cruise for such a role... Lee Child's books always describe Reacher as being huge. Cruise may be agile, fast, but... not huge.
How can you review a game if youhabe hardly played the game. It makes good titles to rubbish games, it takes more skill to testa game properly.disgraceful video
Seeing Aloy and Seyka reminded me of Vi and Caitlyn from Arcane. I know their encounter was brief, but in that short time, they risked their lives, saved each other, fought together, and opened up emotionally. When two people share intense experiences, bond over commonalities, and genuinely like each other, feelings can develop rapidly. It's understandable to believe you've found a connection.
There are only two genders, male and political. There are only two sexualities, straight and political. There are only two races, white and political. That's what this backlash really comes down to.
I just got the DLC and told my girlfriend (who's been watching me play the main game on and off) "oooh there's definitely attraction here, I think Aloy is gay/bi" and she responds with "I thought that was pretty obvious this whole time lol"
No band is using AI art because they want to, they’re resorting to AI because there’s basically no money on the metal music industry as a whole. Most bands are broke, even the bigger bands struggle to break even nowadays and most of the money they make goes to the labels anyways not to mention bands don't make the same amount of revenue they used to make in the past like early 2000's with albums sales, for that reason record labels budget has been reduced dramatically as well, so everyone is just trying to save costs where they can. Sadly one of those costs is cover art and visual art as a whole. Trust me, any band would like hire the best artists to make their album art if they had the money.
I've been an artist my entire life. Right before AI visual, written or spoken came out, I thought about automating my already well established art styles myself. Making a 5,000 piece art gallery in five minutes instead of 5 months would help my workflow and natural creativity it wouldn't hinder it. The same goes for my stories and music. I'd still critique and change or extend each finnished piece before I put it out as my own or kept it for my private collection. Simply by using partial AI with simple art apps on my phone, most of which are free, I've been able to increase my output nearly ten fold. This is no different than me teaching a class of ten people my art styles step by step until they've mastered it then letting them continue making my art from then on. It's a system that could grow and evolve fused with the art style of those artist. What's actually happening is that we are stepping away from consumerism and into personal advancement. Big changes such as this always has a pushback.
Tbh, if its just an album cover, then fine, I can agree, that's cheap. But if it's a full on music video and a small band who doesn't have a lot of money to pay an animation studio, and want to do an animation, they should have the right too. Plus, I've talked to animation studios on Fiverr before, 1 they are not cheap even ones from different countries (normally I look to Asia), 2 there's not that many animation studios out there for small creators, 3 every single one I've talked too, to just get information were either rude as hell, or ignored me, 4 they require a full on script so now you either have to create a script or hire someone to create a script which is nothing but more money most people don't have. You gotta say this to record labels and major companies that own popular bands, not bands or small creators in general man. Small creators will go their own way and AI will allow them to do it. Just as a comic artist will use AI music and AI narrator voices for comics and story videos, and Artists will go to DeviantArt and ArtStation and make money there or expand their creative aspects, or teach! Teaching is a big one, in fact most musicians now and back then in Mozart days, made their living from teaching and tutoring, not from the music they made and should stay that way because art is a passion and you'll do it whether you get money or not and you'll sustain yourself one way or another so that you can do it because you love it that much or its just stuck with you for so long that you literally just can't get rid of it. And people respect that. So many ways you can go. So they'll be fine.
I wonder what you would think of the artistic integrity argument aplied to sometihng like a drum machine. Let's say that there is a guy who wants to start a black metal project, but he can't play drums, can't afford drums and doesn't know any drummers. His ability to artistically express himself is very limited by these factors. He decides to use a drum machine on his album. Now when the album releases, I think it would be fair to criticize the drum machine for it's bad sound (if it sounds bad that is), but not for it somehow lowering the "artistic integrity" of the album. I see the use of AI in a simmilar way as the use of a drum machine, and I'm currius what kind of difference you would see between the two.
That's me actually. Born with symphonic and jazz bands, introduced to symphonic metal later. Parents never let me play Guitar or Keyboards when I was young, and were against metal. Also my symphonic teachers hated metal. I downloaded FL Studio and sampled instruments that use round robins and note offsets, and hid it in the program files of the family computer, including a full orchestra, guitars, drums and synths. I grew up composing, Dream Theater were my main inspiration (even though I don't do Prog Metal as I'm mostly just experimental and do what I want now) I love them and still love them. Later I picked up keyboards and my guitars and drums are sampled not synthesized and using an amp sim over it and the virtual instrument includes round robins, note and picking offset knobs, and articulations such as Sustain, Mute, Staccato (for both power chord and single notes), Chokes, Tapping, Harmonics, Pinch Harmonics, Rakes, Tremolo, FX, Legato Slide, and Hammer-ons and pull offs. Check out Shreddage. And I learn how to utilize it by practicing, simple. And people always put me down for making music and even reason why I'm currently building a music studio and picking up keyboards, is mainly because I feel shame for it, and the shame that I used to play Kenny G music exactly hitting each note on the Saxophone, and that I can't do that on Keyboards. But currently, I can do them when composing, and that at least makes me feel good and makes me feel good that my Kenny G style of music is still there and transfers to metal. And this is just the short story.
