I LOVE FLARLAND !!!! ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ a friend showed me the indie film earlier this year and it blew my mind. the tone and style of it is so jarring in a way thats made it stick in my head forever and made me decide tgat i NEED to be showing this movie to people. i actually watched the hollywood adaptation as a kid in a math class in, like, 6th grade so when my friend was like "we should watch flatland" i was like. "... like the educational movie?"

Your brother is expendable -A. Sphere, 2999

Yes! I love the crappy cgi too!!

I love the super paper Mario music in the background- a clever touch

I was here not for Bill Cipher or for Flatland, but to see how would you fit in Bill Cipher into a video about Flatland

ngl i checked the video just because i like shapes and 2d-specific characters and holy shit it's the perfect thing for me, i even have my own characters based off that concept. instantly adding flatland media into my to-read and to-watch list

Flatland has a bigger fandom then I thought

I love when you say that women are just lines you turn into a line then when you mention women are held in higher regard you turn back

there is a Futurama episode called 2-D Blacktop i feel has to have been inspired somewhat by Flatland (it's title is also a parody of the film Two-Lane Blacktop). Professor Farnsworth joins a gang of street racing punks, and ends up in a two-dimensional world ruled by an really obstinate King who arrests him for saying a 3d world exists.

finally a deep dive of this story . thank you genuinely !!

As someone who has never watched a full episode of Gravity Falls, but _has_ watched the Flatland movie once when I was bored in high school and loved Rob Bryant's "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" video series, I can confirm I'm not here for Bill Cypher.

Spherius can get it

Which film does a square convince a sphere the rob a bank

Watching the theatrical Flatland movie in Middle School genuinely ignited a love for geometry I never knew I had. Thank you for introducing me to all these other adaptations and spiritual successors because, it's definitely made me want to go and read the original.

I gotta check this book out sometime

gosh had no idea there was a fandom for flatland! So here for it time to let this special interest grow!!

Pfff, your avatar suddenly into a line after explaining flat land women was genies 👍

I will forever remember the Flatland movie for the line "watch out it'a woman" and when the screen was just bold text saying "YES WOMEN CAN DO THAT"

So.... Where did you get the other versions I've already flatlandia, the indie film, 1960s version, the doctor quantum version', 60 degrees, that 2006 one, the robbery one. I haven't seen the Hollywood version and its sequel. Flixeon does "have" it but it doesn't host its own servers so it justs reroutes to other websites that don't work

One thing about women that i’ve never seen anyone mention is that for 300 they haven’t been allowed any education, which seems to explain a lot about their perception as non-educated lower classes by A. Square.

Oh my me! How can me not mention pointland? Me am king of pointland! ME ME ME ME ME!

Jokes on you; I'm here in spite of Bill.

...I clicked for the weird looking guy in the top left.

16:31 The Chief circle literally has a line in his speech, that explains how reconfiguration had been made optional. He then used that Irregular senator as “proof” that optional reconfiguration was a bad policy.

Flatland is just straight up one of my favorite things. I need to reread the novella sometime, it's been awhile.

Holy shit, I did not expect a story about shapes to be an allegory for eugenics and fascism

0:06 no I don't

lmao when you described how women where "lines" and the next slide your character became a line

5:26 the gravity falls fandom currently lol

Wow, I really appreciate this video! books and other science fiction media that engage with esoteric science is underappreciated genre, admittedly by me too😅

Also, I think that there is an scp that is literally flatland but instead of elevating a 2D-er you made him folliw you like a cult

also care to see a drawing of my interpetation of flatlanders?

I made a philosophy task around flatland

One of the most interesting world.

FLATLAND THE MOVIE I FUCKING LOVE FLATLAND THE MOVIE

I didn’t click for Bill, I clicked for Flatland since that story haunted me in elementary school! :3

I know that book and movie.

No it's Just the Dimension Hope you talke about the 4th dimension

nah i clicked this cuz it has flatlands (im a big dimension geek)

algorithm comment to prove there is engagement in the 3rd dimension

fun fact: the sphereland movie is also part of the dionys burger 'Sphereland" multiverse (or main universe) flatterland and the rest of the flatland adaptations also imply infinite universes and infinite realities, hope this helps.

This video was such a delight to watch, I had a brief but meaningful Flatland phase when i was like 12ish in 2017ish (I didnt even know GF referenced it until afterwards!) and seeing the book and it’s adaptations get some popularity from the book of bill has been such a surreal experience.

The choice to use Super Paper Mario music is so big brain. Also I'm so glad you included the "your brother is expendable" clip its so funny, genuinely my fav part of that film

thx for the shout out! Loved the video!!!

I was here specifically for Flatland!

I love these kinds of deep dives into obscure topics and I'm honoured to have my fanart featured here ^_^

I have not heard of flatland before, but like I'm now intrigued by it 😭😭😭 idk what the feeling is, but I feel discomforted by it yet fully interested in its premise! I tend to stick to dystopian but this sci fi premise is actually drawing me in! Also a sphere is a menace to society for flipping so many shapes 😭

so happy to see my boy Dayo mentioned, honestly i have way more info on his life and stuff that i havent written yet, unfortunately I'm too burned out to do anymore.

I can't believe I've been mentioned or even appeared in four videos in a row on this channel. I gotta keep that streak going! (Also everyone please be nice and ignore my obvious typo in those messages that I somehow made twice) But for real, great video as always. It's always a treat to see one of your hyperfixations turn into a super passionate and well thought-out video like this.

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN JOINING THE FLATLAND DISCORD SERVER hmu on one of my socials (in description). It’s small but it’s fun! Honestly- I could talk about Flatland (the novel) for a loooong time. I genuinely think Edwin Abbott was cooking on levels people don't even stop to consider and boy could I get INTO IT! For the sake of this video though, I tried to keep that section under 15 minutes. Nonetheless, if anyone has a desire to discuss this story at length hit me up cuz I've DEFINITELY got more to say. Also! I had a really fun time with this video and realized I actually quite enjoy doing deep dives into niche subjects/fandoms. If anyone has any recs out there- let me know!
