In this episode we explore a relatively new subgenre of science fiction called Solarpunk, which aims to imagine better, more ecologically harmonious, futures on earth. In many ways Solarpunk is a reaction to both the real-world climate crisis and to the many apocalyptic visions of collapse filling our screens.

    3:15 A flaw I'd like to point out with the "AUTO is not sentient" idea is that AUTO is very much sentient, he regularly displays emotion through action and inflection in his voice, its only through his primitive speech program that he cant talk in a way like EVE or WALL-E If the analysis of "AUTO can only follow his directive therefore he isnt sentient" were true, then EVE throughout the first portion of her introduction would fall under "non sentience"

    Weatlhy people have a common fear: Fear of consequences; fear of the people they steal from rising up against them. So they systemically condition the masses to trick us into thinking they're good people; News media, fiction, social media, etc. They always aim to control a narrative about them. Hell many firms and companies play a role in what kids in school learn and get their government/lawmaker lackies to make sure of it. They also go to great lengths to limit the masses' voices or even public services in "legal" ways. When money is power, of course you'll be using that power to make sure your wealth and status is maintained, as well as your never-satisfied greed. Anyways, cynicism aside, The Boys show seems to handle this breaking down of this kind of plot well by portraying superheroes as some random people with connections and influences, as well as vices and virtues, and unable to escape propaganda, government control, or social ideologies.

    Everyone has forgotten that Fortnite was announced and sold as a PvE horde game. We may not be a lot, but there are people who bought the game with that premise and where robbed of their money when the game was transformed into a battle royale. So all I want is to see Fortnite sunk into oblivion, and I hope to live enough too see it.

    Ive never seen V for Vendetta, but the description and clips of V torturing Evie makes me nauseous when I see people sing tje character's praises online. If the whole idea was to make her understand what he'd been through, it would make far more sense for her to hold furious resentment toward him afterwards like he does toward his captors. I feel like there's an implied pressure on women to always forgive men and do it quickly, to take their "justified" abuse and still be resilient yet gentle. I fail to see how a man torturing a woman onscreen is supposed to come across as an anti-fascism hero. Personally, it makes me feel like everyone of my sex exists solely as tools, not worthy of even anti-fascists' compassion. He wants to topple the regime, great, that's absolutely necessary and important - so why is he wasting time torturing ONE person who has little to no power in this oppressive system?

    May I add something, although it's been 5 years by now? About Holdo's "I like him" about Poe. I remember back when the movie came out, everyone's reaction to that scene was "bullshit you do", because no one thought that a woman in power would like a defiant man. In fact, that's what I used to think too. But by watching this video, I realized and I understood why she liked him. It wasn't just because it's a movie and it'd be sweet. She didn't like him despite his flaws either, no, it was *for* his flaws she liked him, that's what she tells Leia. She likes his flaws because she sees how they can be qualities, especially in a rebellion. As you said, she chastities him because she cares. And she knows that his recklessness means he's relentless, that being hotheaded means he's often brave, and that he can come up with efficient strategies, but he should redirect them towards a win for his allies instead of a loss for his enemies. And, after the lessons he learns from both her and Leia, that's exactly what he does the rest of the movie. I wish I had seen all that genius when I saw the movie in theaters, I'll have to give it another watch.

    My dad is 53 and is very similar to Waymond. I have never seen him - in my 23 years of existence - get mad and have never heard him yell at any members of the family/other people. Even when me and my siblings pissed him off he never raised his voice and have never hit us. My mom always said that his behavior is the key for her maturation as a person and for their long marriage (26 years this december).

    I get the obvious reason you compare Barbie and Oppenheimer, but it's funny that it's probably the worst example since Oppenheimer always HAD to be a man because it was biographical. Inception is a much better example since there's no reason Cobb couldn't have been a woman - totally fictional story and gender real plays no role of significance as far as I'm aware.

    I don't think it's accurate to say there's a backlash against movies that are not male-centered. A few of the examples you showed at at13:19 are remakes of classic movies/characters and the backlash was about the unoriginality of Hollywood and the alteration of characters we know. I saw Ghostbusters 2016 and although I enjoyed it and had many laughs, I was just as much annoyed to see the character's personalities and the gist of the story were lifted from the original. There's been a lot of female-centered movies made in the last 20 to 30 years and people didn't object to original stories with original female characters.

    You've articulated why I liked So Iʼm a Spider, So What? (2015/2022) by Okina Baba. The protagonist, Kumoko, ultimately learns they must become the villain to destroy humanity which has become corrupted beyond redemption in order to preserve her planetʼs habitability for herself, a spider, and other non-human people that understand the existential crisis. In order to improve society, one must become a villain of old society. 20:03: The trend that superheroes are usually puppeted by writers to fight megalomaniacal villains is as simple (in the derogatory sense) as the pattern in isekai stories where the Hero almost always ends up saving young nubile damsels in distress who reliably volunteer to enslave themselves to them until the harem count grows beyond that required to cover the typical waifu stereotypes without repeating. (e.g. tsundere, kuudere, tomboy, ojousama, childhood friend, yandere, dandere, glasses, genki, loli, big sister, brat, deredere) You are immature if you have not discovered that all stories are rhetorical exercises to convince you to do something (usually to buy something, especially merchandise featuring waifus such as music, video streaming subscriptions, etc.; high quality stories teach you empathy and ethics which, in my opinion, is the ability to identify and navigate other people's stories).

    Perhaps it's just my interpretation but I always believed, in the prequels especially, that they framed the Jedi's dogmatic beliefs as the underlying problem, rather than implying their belief in emotional suppression was the correct course to follow. I always felt as if it wasn't Anakin's fear of loss that truly turned him to the dark side but the lack of emotional support he received prior to his mother's death that turned him. If he had a support system that wouldn't have shamed him for acting on his emotions, he would've been able to leave without fear of judgment and probably save his mother, which would've prevented him from having a traumatic fear of loss instilled within himself that would later lead to the desperate measures he'd go to to (unsuccessfully) save Padme. In fact, if he had been allowed to actually form relationships under the Jedi Order, he would've been able to voice his concerns for her well being rather than being forced to bottle it up inside him. Even in the OT, it's the love Vader has for Luke that allows him to break free from the grip of the dark side and defeat the Emperor and Luke's denial of Yoda and Obi Wan's teachings lead him down the path to redeem Vader and save the galaxy. In summary, while it may get muddled, as almost all deeper messages tend to in Star Wars, what I took from it was that it's unhealthy to deny your emotions. Edit: Guess I should've waited a little longer to comment, it appears we're actually on the same page. Edit 2: Guess I spoke too soon again, we had all the same information but I believe you came to a wildly incorrect conclusion, that somehow George Lucas believed in what the Jedi pushed when even you yourself said that the conclusion of the story actually argued against that and presented Luke's willingness to embrace his emotions as the correct path to take.

    I love V for Vendetta, both the comic and the movie. I love V as a protagonist. I *don't* like how much more the movie romanticized him though - he's not and should not be seen as a good guy. The movie sanitized him a lot. Evey was originally a 13 year old girl and her infatuation with him should be seen as some sort of combination of stockholm syndrome and a kid without any parental figures in her life latching onto the first one who shows her any real concern. It's a great commentary on the abduction/abuse trope.... if it had been portrayed more in line with the source material.

    I agree with Ken pre-patriarchy discovery behavior being confusing at first, but maybe it is trying to portrait this: Those human reactions/feelings of insecurity, jealousy, fear of vulnerability that Ken presents as a man, were materialized in Patriarchy (and horses) when he came to know about it. Ken chooses to canalize this human feelings/reactions in Patriarchy as his catarsis. Other men may had choose other ways… I mean, “fighting” is a part of patriarchy but also not, Fighting is no Patriarchy…or maybe I’m confused 😅 great video BTW I like this channel a lot.

    There is something you say, that actually shows us the limits of feminism, as a reply to the current state of society: the fact that "man" is default, and its experiences are exemplary of the human condition, and "woman" isn't, and therefore the films are about the female or femenine condition specifically, is why feminism cannot abolish the current system. Feminism takes the same ordering of society, and simply reflects it unto the content of that very society as inverted: there is no proper subversion threre. The subversion requires a proper understanding of the root causes of the social division of labor between men and women, who are constituted as such by that process. Those root causes have to be abolished, and thereofre the very foundations of men and women will cease to exist.
