analyzing your unpopular opinions/hot takes 

Unpopular opinion: I rather see a college show than a high school show sorry not sorry

What is organized religion, if not stan culture? What is stan culture, if not organized religion persevering?

That take about child actors was WILD. Like… child actors famously are almost guaranteed to be abused usually sexually. Even if that’s not the case, the inherent trauma of being a child, sometimes literally 5 or 6 years old, and being the primary breadwinner for your family, being financially responsible for your whole family’s ability to live before you’re even allowed to drive a car, is horrifying.

THE PART ABOUT HATING THINGS BC OF INTERNALIZED MISOGYNY IS SO RELATABLE 😭 So glad that im over that now and that our culture is starting to realize that too

Wow, whoever said that New Moon deserves critical acclaim has really good taste Maybe even better than the taste of Bella's blood

The second opinion about shows nowadays is so true. I've been watching a lot of Gossip Girl lately, and it made me realize, back before the 2010s, TV shows packed so much content into one episode, with drama and suspense, and it was amazing! These days, seasons have like 6 episodes (!), the episodes always end on a cliffhanger, and almost nothing happens in each episode, everything is saved for the season finale. Like, do writers know what side stories are? Not everything needs to follow one plot and one plot only. My own little hot take lol 😅

Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! Make the video! I've said it 10 times in 10 different accents and personalities. Be the One True One Tree Hill Queen you were born to be!

the one about tsitp was mine haha i am so glad you agreed! i also agree with you, a lot of the actors are very talented (lola tung’s performance really stood out to me in season 2) but i really don’t love the storyline. like you said the timeline of it all is crazy??? what do you mean susannah only died like a month and a half prior???

Anime lover here ; your name tends to be the anime a lot of people have seen or at least know about and either love it with a passion or feel indifferent towards it which I suppose is the parallel to Taylor swift. I definitely think it’s a decent anime but definitely not the best

7:57 YES TO ONE TREE HILL. Omg that show was everything! Literally my school was having similar issues and CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY is a dreamboat.

The booktok one is real. It's so rare for genres other than romance or romance-adjacent to get any spotlight, and I do agree that I have felt almost gaslit before by the hype around certain titles (most of which are literally just cookie cutter straight romances between white people). Hard agree, I no longer watch booktok, and neither should you.

I will watch a mikes mic style recap of literally anything omg

abt the rachel zegler thing... literally the hate on her is so uncalled for. all the problems: the stuff she said, the fact that shes playing snow white in the first place... its not her fault, it's kinda disney's. obviously disney gave her things to say abt the movie and comments on the original movie. they r also the ones that casted her. me personally, i dont like how they casted rachel for a remake for snow white of all fairytales, where snow white originally has "lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow"... ...but ig thats just disney being disney and doing whatever theyre doing recently since theyve been pumping out these remakes. however they could be bringing so much more potential by making new films where actors/actresses like rachel can be themselves and not get hate for it; because how would anyone know that some character named amy in an original story was thought of to be casted by a white actress before they changed their mind./sar im not saying that rachel as snow white is horrible; i have faith that she as well as other potential lead characters in future remakes will do well in their respective roles. but it's just the fact that disney could've given her such a bigger opportunity that wouldn't end up in such controversy annoys me: of course you can have diversity in the film industry, yet i think disney might be putting it in the wrong places. note: if you read all of this, thank you. im not here to start a war: im voicing my opinion and i dont mean to hurt anybody especially poc. im not anti-rachel or anti-disney (although it may seem so from my whole essay above). i just wish for disney to realise that the backlash their actors are getting would kinda stop if they went about things a slightly different way.

2:26 I think it’s a classic ‘Yes and No’ answer. The quantity is increasing for sure and not always for the better BUT we are gifted with gems once in a while.

2:43 Omg literally thinking about this for a while now. Also, it’s high time we see Indian and non-white protagonists have a spectrum of relationships. P.S. Book Recommendation: ‘Good Intentions’ by Kasim Ali.

Justice for Rachel Zegler! She's young and she's using talking points Disney gave her to talk about the movie they're making! So she doesn't think 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' is a masterpiece, is that really causing all this drama? Honestly I think the republican anti-woke crowd are using this to generate hate towards a young women for not being the 'correct' skin tone and it's crazy.

I remember watching the sex scene in Old Boy and thinking that it was not only unnecessary but went on for too long and then by the end of the movie when everything is revealed, and I was already shocked, the scene came back to me like an extra layer of shock. So I guess that’s the one sex scene that I can understand why was made

On the explicit scenes take, I feel like Saltburn is such a good example of when it can be done right. Like I understand the need for explicit scenes in that movie, it is hugely relevant to the character and the story, and also, the power would be lost without showing the way/how of the scenes. They were sometimes super uncomfortable even, but it never felt gratuitous or exploitative the way Game of Thrones did, for example. Or other media that just clearly lingers over the actors' bodies in this pornographic, creepy way. Or, for another example, there's a lower key sex scene in Lamb that I thought also made sense for the movie. But I feel like 95% of the time we get explicit scenes in movies, it doesn't add much to the story, there is nothing in the scene that requires or justifies the time spent on it (vs a fade to black or implication or whatever). And honestly, not that many ppl want it lol. It's just annoying to sit through .

PLEASE MAKE A PART TWO

about the your name one, I think I get it?? it made a really big splash when it came out to the point where everyone was saying makoto shinkai was the new miyazaki, which yeah that was a bit bold. even shinkai was like pls no stop saying that so maybe that's what they meant?

For the booktok question, I highly recommend the legendborn cycle by tracey deonn!! It’s my recent fav haha

I def need the one tree hill video because it’s one of those shows that i missed growing up and is definitely never watching, like im sorry to chad Michael murray

you should definitely make a One Tree Hill video!! that show is so wild and really gets bad once Peyton and Lucas leave at the end of s6 😂

10:16 if anyone has heard of the book ‘mile high’ this is what came to mind. the white author consistently writes the black character as being ‘wild’ basically like an animal

Thank you for talking about the Rachel Zegler “drama” 🙏🏽🙏🏽 You put it perfectly into words. It also really bothers me the whole “she’s not ‘snow white’” therefore she can’t play the character. Snow White is actually a really big princess in latin America & the Caribbean especially during my mom’s time so it is nice to see a Hispanic actress take on the role.

2:40 finally some publicity around the …bold.. hairstyles in boys over flowers lmao

1:45 As someone who remembers the early 2000’s, TV is so sooooo much better than it used to be. Yes few of the streaming era shows rise to the absolute top and there’s a lot of mediocre crap, but that pales in comparison to the stuff that came before prestige TV was a thing. You had high water marks like the Office or Last Airbender but a lot of insanely popular stuff was not great in comparison to what gets made now (Friends, Smallville, 4kids Yugioh dubs, etc.). And that’s not even mentioning the stuff that disappeared into obscurity (ever heard of Lunatics Unleashed? Terra Nova? The Cape???). The past looks better in comparison because people only remember the good stuff.

Emily in Paris was called out by the French government and some East European countries too (I think)

I also agree with the take on award shows. They don't mean shit anymore and there is lots of corruption within the award show industry. If award shows stopped most people would not care. Professional space ninja made a really good video on why award shows don't mean anything in this day and age.

Love this! Please do more parts 😊

As an anime lover i have no idea what that person is talking about 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I also love OTH and didnt finish the OC would LOVE to see a mikes mic themed review of OTH haha! love your videos!!

BESTIE *PLEASE* MAKE THE OTH VIDEO. I'll be first in [virtual] line to watch it with my cats and [metaphorical] popcorn lol

So happy to see a new video! Watching this while eating my dinner and I love hearing unpopular opinions. Usually, it’s something we agree on.

for booktube, i typically get recommendations from withcindy and jack edwards (jack being more close to my taste) because they tend to read books written by people of color along with popular on trend booktok books

Pls do a video about one tree hill!! I’ve never seen it and I do not need to add another TV show to my watchlist lol. Would love to hear your take on it as well

I agree with a lot of these hot takes which I’m pleasantly surprised by

4:27 CORRECTION: Queer People invented what we know as the Modern Stan Culture. We hid from the world and idolised who we wanted to be and were usually good at it.

omg yes a mikes mic one tree hill video i needdddd

omg please do this again it was so entertaining

Celebrity Houses? Such a fun topic! 👏🏽

Once again fantastic a video with good takes!!

Absolutely do the one tree hill video I love that show and wild shit happened on that show😭

Yes to the One Tree Hill recap!!

OTH recap pls 🙏🙏🙏 I decided to binge the show one fateful finals week in high school and was never the same again

I’ve never watched OTH but I’m here for the video.

I 100 percent agree with the hot take of the non white main character in a lot of movies/tv shows ending up with a white love interest. I want to see more variety of couples for movies and tv shows like an Asian person( whether they are East Asian, South Asian, South East Asia or Middle Eastern) ending up romantically with a Black/African or Hispanic/Latino person.

Oooh please make a one tree hill summary, I'd watch it!!!

I think there is some truth that instead of being religious younger generations Stan in its place. At the same time there have always been the high level of Stanning I will never understand, Elvis, The Beatles, MJ and BSB all had stans, I feel its just exacerbated by social media.

do the one tree hill video i was named after one of the main characters but i've never even seen it 👍

OTH is my all time favorite show. Please make a video!!

i love your voice!

4:26 Bestie…you need to calm down😂😂😂

12:51 “NO, MA’AM! NO MA’AM!” and also “Not today, Satan! Not today!”

Make the one tree hill video I’m intrigued❤

New Moon supremacy SO true

I neeewed the one tree hill video!!!

Your name is an excellent film tbh

I've only seen the oc but make the one tree hill video anyway‼️

fun alert

sister please do the one tree hill recap

MAKE A ONE TREE HILL VID!! I BEG!

Do the one tree hill video!!

waiiiittt as a religious person they made points about the stan culture thing.. i think they right they just worded it awfully

I need a one tree Hill recappp

PLEASE RECAP ONE TREE HILL BRO

PLEASE MAKE A OTH RECAP OR REVIEW

One tree hill unhinged recap pls

Also you can’t really just come at the actress because you hate the new movie concept. I personally love the brothers grimm and just literally every single fairy tale that’s old so ofc I also love the tale of Snow White. I just think Disney should make new movies with diversity instead of turning snowwhite into something she’s not. However that isn’t Rachels fault, also I didn’t even like the Disney Snow White movie at all because it just was way too different from the og story for me.

Make the oth recaaaaap button

bad movies being made today = watching home alone for the 2785th time

I feel like belly is such an unlikeable main character which makes the show a hard watch for me also jeremiah IS SO WEIRD? Also Taylor is so underrated i think she’s a great character and also just person in general

Do it

am i the only one who didnt like how jennette mccurdy goes ham on ariana i get that she got what she wanted but is that her fault but honestly i didnt read the book so idk in what tone it was in tbh

8:24 It’s not like trolls were happy with hating on one Disney Princess.

The film Great Freedom starts and ends with long scenes of gay men having sex and it's totally necessary because it's a film about a gay man going to prison for having sex.

To the your Name I feel like I neither agree or disagree. I personally love Your name and feel like Taylor swift has some good songs but is pretty mid in general. 🤷🏾‍♀️

4:20 Karan Johar sent this to you lol jk

My only isssue with the Booktok opinion is that if you consume content from diverse creators you’re going to be reccomended more diverse books. There are arguments to be made about how white creators don’t read or reccomenr bipoc books but generalized statements about booktok are usually made by people who don’t participate in the community and don’t understand where to find what they’re interested in reading

1:07 It’s called cultural imperialism.

booktok is so frustrating in the lack of diversity of both genres and stories being told 😭 it’s ALWAYS the same poorly written, cringy colleen hoover/romance/fantasy books that are regurgitated and talked abt ad nauseam. also, a late hot take that’s somewhat related to the diverse couple one-why does western media always pair the asian female protagonist w a white guy??? it’s so annoying and feeds into the stereotype that we’re all simps for white men. I want a relatable romance between two asian americans that celebrates our culture PLEASE.

maybe an unpopular opinion but Im sick of diversity being shoehorned into films/TV shows id rather fewer people were represented but it was done well. I don't need to see myself represented in every form of media I consume

i dont like george clooney every celebrity interview they always mention him whats so special about him??
