The Massacre on Martin & 3rd: A Neoliberal Horror Story
In the heady days of the mid-2000s, Tim Burton was in high demand, and it was decided he’d head the newest adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland. Tim, who admitted having “no personal connection” to the original text, decided to use the film as a ground-up reimagining of the story - a hero’s journey with magical swords and ancient prophecies and a strong moral message about… following orders? Ultimately we wound up with a film lacking any real identity, confused in its own message, and somehow less feminist than something written in the late 1800s.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Off we trek, into the world of Wonderland.
Talking Eddie Brock, Venom 2018, and our skewed perspective on the working class as cultivated by current media representation. Fun!
Easily my most comprehensive video essay yet - analysing the many perspectives surrounding the controversial James Gunn Twitter outrage. I think it’s easy to brand Gunn a monster for his past, and I think it’s easy for some to throw down their arms and say “So the SJWs can’t handle a callout if it’s one of their own, eh?” but, ultimately, I don’t think this is a situation that comes with easy answers. A right-wing mob outed a high-profile director, and he was fired for it - the rest of the story requires some unpacking. Hope you all enjoy, and of course likes/shares help if you do!
Forgot to post this the other day - a short parody of the more toxic side of the Spyro The Dragon fanbase, in light of the upcoming Reignited Trilogy. Enjoy!
