Curate, connect, and discover
many people also just want a refresher of the media cause to do the analysis, you need to remember certain details. not just that but sometimes the next book/movie/game/season/wtv else is released months/years later, and NOBODY can make me reread 5 thick books of the series or rewatch 100+ episodes again.
Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?
