Thank you so much! If you liked this one, I just uploaded a new Barry video to the channel actually! Hope you enjoy it 😊

This is the first time s4 is referred to as the gasleak year, showing that even the show refers to this as a weaker season

yeahhhh that didn't age too well 🤣 when that happened during s4 i was like "hmmm... maybe i should have precised how far into the show i wrote this..." currently working on a video that addresses that though!

@FilmsProphet lol loved the breakdown though! Thanks for the hard work!

I know the video definitely makes it seem as though I hate the episode with a deep passion, and it's true that I don't like it much, but I do recognize there are redeeming qualities to it and I understand why others may like it more than I do. The puppets are crazy good (Jeff in particular) The song is a BANGER and if im not mistaken it's also Yvette Nicole-Brown's favourite episode

While it personally doesn't work for me, I think the general sentiment towards the season agrees with you! A lot of people really like it

how did I not figure it out sooner!

I think that may have definitely played a role but I also find it odd that the other shows were still getting marketing when this wasn't. Especially as, as we've seen with Superman and Lois, if they were able to pull viewership the cw would justify keeping it on. idk if we'll ever get a specific reason why they didn't try pushing it more but i suspect there were multiple factors in management that lead to this.

Thank you so much for this comment! And thank you for focusing on the disney element of it, because i didn't even actively think of it! One thing I really appreciate about this channel is the way it opens discussion with others and adds layers I didn't see myself. So, you pointing this out makes me look at it with yet another lense! Especially as FX wasn't Disney owned during the first two seasons of Atlanta, and the last 2 are when we really see a stronger acknowledgement of Disney.

there are definitely hints of Marxism in it, though I don't think the character actively realized this.

I'm so sorry that you were in that situation, and I'm sorry you have to associate the show with that memory. I hope that things have gotten better since and you're able to look back at it seeing how far you've come!

Same bro. Same age and all. Lol

If i remember well (and it's been a bit so i could be wrong), he would of been one of the characters on the proposed Infinity Inc show, lead by Shade and Jenny Shame it never came to be 😔 Hoping Gunn gives us the JSA though

thank you!!! i do my best but it really means a lot to get support. especially when it's from a channel ive watched (and according to my analytics, the suggested tab next to your videos have sent a decent amount of people my way so i think i own you thanks for that too!)

THANK YOU!!!! The support means so much!!!

very true, it really goes to further push how he ends up viewing himself later on

@@FilmsProphet ooh please further elaborate ?

Took me back to middle school, kids were ruthless

@@DonFamilia62 middle school ain’t for the weak

thank you so much!! the support means everything to me

ahhhhh thank you so much!!! i do my best 🙏

glad you enjoyeddd. means the world to me

@@FilmsProphet you're very talented and your analytical view brings a lot to the discussion about the show and characters, and most importantly on the dynamics between.

miyazaki rly mastered the "it's over" to "we're so back" pipeline

The full sentence is "Out of the 9 active members and 4 living but retired members, 11 attended an Ivy League University at some point during their education." I specifically say that there are 9 active justices. Furthermore, I never say they are kings. I am making a comparison to show the flaws in that system.

I missed that part

fr mans announcing his next comeback before he even finishes saying the word retirement

while i personally find s4 worse, i totally get where you're coming from. s6 definitely had a lot of challenges of its own, even if ive made a case trying to defend it (with pretty bad audio quality on my part). personally i still prefer s6 over s4 but i think it is a question of personal preference rly

thank you so much!!! really just glad for the views i get at the end of the day

What??? How?

No, what are you saying? This is a goodbye and a reconcilation with his Past, because for Good or Bad, it shape him. Also it's his last gift for us, the audience.

hey all im pretty sure the comment is meant as a joke.

@@recetasfaciles2816 it's a last gift for us because he gets to remind us that he hates his son.

@@MrXtr1 Idk I just like to remind people that he hates his son.

thank YOU! it really means so much to me that people would choose to watch my videos and enjoy them too. it's more than what i can ask for

until i watched this, EEAAO was my favourite of 2022 (and one of my favourite ever still) so i completelyyyy understand. love to see these absolute gems get the recognition they deserve

i agree. i don't want to go in too much detail here bc im planning on putting out a video about s4 soon-ish, but Sally's character really benefited the most from this season development-wise. it truly fleshed her out in a way that allowed the viewers to understand her better.

learning that someone might watch a movie due to the recommend of one of my videos is one of the kindest compliments i can receive.

i really appreciate that, thank you! really, im just extremely grateful for what it does have!

thank you so much!! im so glad you enjoyed the video and it makes me so happy to know others resonated with this movie too. truly, thank you

unfortunately, this is the mentality many have, and i don't think it's the individual's fault. many are taught to have unquestionable faith in that system. that if it is not benefiting them, it is not because the system is flawed but because they are temporarily embarrassed. it's not easy to work against it even within our selves.

That’s every system.

it’s basically a religion. some people believe in something because they believe in the consequences of NOT believing in it. You might not like capitalism, but you probably dislike being broke even more

thank you so much for the support!

thank you so much for this beautiful comment. the most rewarding part of making these videos is getting to engage with thought provoking comments like this one. i think you're absolutely right when discussing the use of afro-surrealism in the show. it truly allows Glover & co to illustrate the absurd nature of the capitalist world we live in, especially for peoples who were not given power in shaping this world's political-economic identity. as you said, this affects us all and it truly feels surreal for all, even though the how can vary. i love the pun!!! i have not watched Dave yet but i have heard great things and do hope to look into it!

agreed!! it is a very interesting contrast within the relationship and really illustrates why they fundamentally cant work.

thank you so much!! i am very proud of this video and it always means a lot when someone finds it. im very grateful for the viewership it has. even if it isnt much.

thank you!! i do my best and every bit of support pushes me to make each video better. a third barry video is on the way!!

@@FilmsProphet Keep doing what you are doing can’t wait to see the next Barry video !

thank you so much!! the support means the world to me.

@@FilmsProphet Don’t mention it you keep up the great work.

i havent spoken about reality shows here because of the nature of the channel, but i LOVE them. i will binge entire shows in one sitting. ill definitely check it out

i think the fact that 11 years later there are people still relating to it really shows how timeless the show can be despite being so decidedly in its era. glad it could mean so much to so many and im glad it can bond people the way it can 🙏

Thank you very much for this correction! i didnt revisit s1 very much when writing this because of how much i had to revisit everything else. This is appreciated

I'm sorry I have to ask, what does that change? He is still reliant on capitalism, it doesn't matter if it's legal or not the problem is still the same.

​@@FilmsProphet My dude you still did a good job, this "error" doesn't add or subtract from the overall message of the video. This is more of a smug "um actually" or a nit-pick. His addition would not make or break your analysation of the series. Like I said great video.

It's not about legality, it's about where they start out in their relationship with capitalism. The essay says Al is financially comfortable from his music and specifically says he's not trying to make more money (around 7:30) and that Al wants Earn to prove he's in it for more than money, neither of which fits their story arcs. Al wants more money, he just doesn't want to get ripped off. Al wants Earn to prove that he will center Al's financial interest and has the skills to do so; Earn's anxiety of the whole second season is that once PaperBoy starts to blow up, no one is sure whether Earn has what it takes to elevate Al's business further until the scene at airport security proves to Al that he does. I agree with the analysis beyond that point -- nobody's over here saying it was a bad video -- but it can affect how you read both characters' story arcs if you miss where they start from.

@venomkratos7358 thank you so much for the support but please dont worry the comment was overall quite respectful. I put over 40h into a video like this one, theres bound to be a mistake here or there even if I try my best to not make any. Though i do not think it makes such a big difference that it delegitimizes anything, considering the starting point i was trying to establish was that Al's needs are being met, while Earn's needs are not, as well as the fact that Al does not know if he can trust his cousin, i do think @gjhodson39 's remark adds something i missed: Al was already trying to be self sufficient outside of what is considered "acceptable". His needs and devices are still established by the system but he does not fall quite in line with what is considered to be a "good worker". The overall stance I have from what is being established through this changes but not in a way that changes the overarching point of the essay. Al still has his needs met in a way that he certainly wants more, but he is comfortable enough to not jump at an opportunity for more if he cant trust it. Either way, he doesnt feel the need for substantially more. I've had to deal with nitpickers on previous essays, especially some who are wrong in their nitpick, and I didnt consider this comment to be that. To me it was a mistake worth pointing out and it added to the discussion. Thank you again though for the act of good will. It means a lot.

oh absolutely!!! its funny that this is the first project i would really notice that impact in, considering how many projects have since worn that inspiration on their sleeve
