We've all been in these comment sections of movie edits where people are constantly saying "he's literally me" or "real". I'm here to explain why these "literally me" characters are so relatable to these men, and the possible darker truth behind what, on the surface, may just seem to be light-hearted fun.

Thank you all so much for nearly 400 subscribers!!! I hit 100 subs almost exactly a week ago so it absolutely blows my mind to think that I've nearly quadrupled that amount in just 1 week. You have no idea how much encouragement that gives me to think that there are thousands of people out there that support what I say and think my opinion has merit and value. I will forever be grateful for that. I'm a quite sentimental guy as you can tell lol. I enjoy editing and writing, and to bring together two of my passions while still giving you valuable information and making you laugh is something that I'll always enjoy. I feel like leaning into the more "video essay analysis" type of video rather than the "meme video with no value or substance" type is preferable to me because I'm starting to become somewhat intellectually opposed to the mindless memes. I'll definitely have a relatively light-hearted tone for a large portion of my videos, but I'll try as hard as possible not to make it overshadow the analysis part of the vid. It also takes less effort to make more analytical videos, because I haven't yet fully optimized my editing while my typing is rather quick and I always found myself to enjoy writing essays/scripts. Yes I'm insane. I don't think I should be putting this much effort into my vids, especially because I wanna focus more on school atm. This doesn't mean that I'll stop making vids or make them lower quality. Anyways, thanks for all of the love. YouTube algorithm, do your thing lol.
