Tokenism: The Bigotry Of Low Expectations
In this video, I explore the way Disney has been using tokenism to market their products. I discuss how they often use race-swapping as a marketing tactic and why it is insulting and disrespectful. Additionally, I explain why authenticity is key in today's society and why I think black people deserve their own characters and stories.

Keep Hope Alive: The Meaning Of Superman
In this video, I explore the difference between Superman and other superheroes such as Homelander. I use a real-life example of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object to explain why Superman is ultimately a hero of hope. Drawing from my own experience, I share how we can be our own heroes in the face of adversity if we choose to stay humble and courageous while having faith that things will get better.

The Batman Effect | Learning To Trust
The Batman Effect is the idea that the iconic superhero is relatable because of his story and reliability. Bruce Wayne would've had to struggle with losing his parents and the mental and psychological struggles with that. I believe the 2002 comic book Batman Hush displays the concept i like to call the Batman Effect perfectly. #Batman #dccomics #gothamknights

Eren Yeager & Prince Zuko The Burdens Of A Son
In this video, we compare the main characters of Attack On Titan and Avatar The Last Airbender two popular shows and explore the idea of what it means to be a son. We see that while Eren had a positive backstory, he eventually turns into a bloodthirsty monster, while Zuko starts off as the antagonist but eventually becomes one of the good guys. Their arcs are drastically different and speak to the importance of listening to those who are wise and have your best interest at heart.

The Real Problem With She-Hulk
She-Hulk is a terrible show, and it's okay to say so. If you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. Blocking reviews, insulting the fans, and silencing dissent is not the way to make a good tv show or film, or to prove a point in general. Censorship is the art of saying "No." Criticism is the art of saying "Why?" If you're not willing to listen to criticism, then you're not doing art, you're making a commercial.

The Ideology Of Terrible Filmmaking
In the past, moviemakers generally avoided incorporating their personal beliefs and values into their films. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards a more overtly ideological approach to filmmaking. This change is largely due to the increasing influence of social media. With platforms like Facebook and Twitter, filmmakers can directly engage with their audience and promote their films to a wider audience. In addition, social media has made it easier for filmmakers to share their vision with the world and connect with like-minded individuals. As a result, we are seeing more films that reflect the personal beliefs of their creators. While some may see this as a positive development, others believe that it is causing movies to become more polarized and less accessible to mainstream audiences. Whatever your opinion may be, there is no denying that ideology is playing a increasingly important role in film production.
