In Response To: Thoughts (Stryfe Bringer)


: Watched your Fall of Reach analysis. Presentation wise I found it to be
: rather bland and a bit choppey (was the "lucky me" line really
: so necessary?). With more time spent on giving an opinionated summary of
: the overall story and individual characters than an analysis. Do you write
: out a script, or do you just speak to the camera and edit it all later?

I have a script. The "lucky me" line was inserted on a whim to break it up and perhaps point out the way the line references his luck to those who didn't get that.

I'll try to make later videos more interesting.

: As far as the analysis itself, I have to say that the only thing that struck
: me was your take on Kelly and Linda's brief chat on clothing. In the
: beginning you go on about how FoR is so bland, and the Spartans presented
: as inhuman, yet when we come to a scene where the two female characters
: show a bit of character depth where they're more in touch with their
: feminine side than their background would suggest possible, you take a bit
: of issue to it. One would think you'd have them be blander er ... or
: something. A bit of contradiction that stood out for me.

The characterization is so bland that I had to focus on that one exchange for insight into their characters. When putting this together, I considered if i was nitpicking for focusing on such a simple comment, but there wasn't much else to go on at all.

The Spartans being presented as inhuman is an ongoing theme throughout the series that is unrelated. It is possible to have aliens with good characters--Yayap for example--that you would never call human. Technically, I would call the Spartan-IIs posthuman, a label I would also put on Cortana.
