Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 10876, member: 6930"] I noticed that in these last years there was a trend of long, deep analytic videos talking about the underlying sub-text of various media (from cartoons to movies while going through video games) as well as making a commentary about how "xxxx is an underrated masterpiece" for anything that didn't meet a certain popularity from people. I also have seen how many videos online also had long intros that defines the origins or even explain the medium as if it acted as if nobody knew what it was about (we could still search about it online beforehand) so that they get quite stale and I wish they could get to the point (I don't need a history lesson about something if it's barely relevant to the main subject). I'd also argue that many videos are also making famous quotes or engaging with a higher level of vocabulary to sound more intellectual or credible to its public rather than being more specific with technical terms. I can understand that essays aren't meant to be short and that at school they expect you to reach a certain minimum amount of words to have at least some substance but when your video is 3 hours long it clearly shows that there is some padding to make it seemingly complete. I wouldn't be anti-intellectualistic about people online (any form of art can get some fruitful analysis) but I also feel that these people think they're still doing a school assignment and forgot that sometimes simplicity can still be effective. Here's a simple meme I remember seeing that perfectly represents what I'm saying: [ATTACH type="full" size="584x676"]3419[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
