I miss this channel greatly, hope everything's going well
@@Drew..0 I know right, I thought I missed the videos or something but he's disappeared for a while. We miss ya Kaptain!
He WAS back.
the kaptain has returned
KaptainKristian finally came back from buying cigarettes, stayed for a month, then left to buy some more
To this day I'm still salty that Guillermo wasn't able to direct _The Hobbit._ It would've been awe-inspiring to this his vision and style of _Middle Earth_ would look like.
Considering the pressure and hell that Jackson had to endure from the studio (not being able to spend enough time in pre-production and filming as he wanted), I am kind of glad that del Toro didn't have to endure that suffering. I still would have loved to see his vision of Middle Earth on the big screen, though.
@@Frediloc8 Yeah, Studio interference is the worst.
I have a feeling that Del Toro wanted to do his own thing but the studio wanted to keep the prequels closer to the style of the originals, which is understandable because the movies were supposed to be for Lord of the Rings fans, and not Guillermo Del Toro fans.
I'd rather have Del Toro tackle original ideas than sequels, or prequels.
It would have been wonderfull.
I really think his style would have fit beautifully with The Hobbit. As a Tolkien fan I really think the book deserved an adaptation that was more than just cheap fanservice drawn out over far too many films.
You NEVER disappoint me kaptainkristian! Love your essays! Keep enlightening TH-cam with your wisdom.
how are you verified
Justin Y has evolved.
Jesus Christ! I'm daring you around everywhere.
wow I can't believe that kaptainkristian brought Jesus back. Ty kaptain.
Your channel is cancer! You don't have the right commenting on CK's amazing videos!!
Dude, in all my 10 years using TH-cam, I have never written any comments to anyone, until now... And the reason is because I want to tell you that without a doubt, you are the best channel that I've ever seen, your style is unique, your topics and the way you see them are incredible, as editor, I can say that your skills are uncomporable, is too sad that we can't see more of your job, you have your reasons to leave TH-cam for the moment, but I hope that one day you can come back and keep teach us about the good art
Boi am i glad our wish came true
"I have a great deal of respect and admiration for artists who push their craft to it's fullest potential."
I could say the same thing about you, Kaptain :)
Indeed
@Sternia Hoenheim
I still prefer video essays over vlogs or reviews.
A good video essay is one of the highest quality content which can be made by ONE PERSON in this platform.
But if you had enough of this format, go and watch some Logan Paul shit or whaterver.
@Sternia Hoenheim Are you ignoring the fantastic editing and composition of Kaptain's videos?
It's probably worth mentioning that the artist of the pieces from 0:07 to 0:19 as well as pretty much all the Hellboy characters is Mike Mignola, a very acclaimed "monster-maker" in his own right, whose use of negative space, rough designs and humane characterization of "monstrous" being has a lot in common with Del Toro's design philosphy, at least result-wise. That's also probably why they've worked together so much. Good storyteller too.
Absolutely seemless editing. The way you layout every image to segway into the next is so flawless.
Thanks for the shoutout at 3:05
lol
Still waiting for his essay on "how Simon West directs a scene"😉
Del Toro is a legend. Wish he could make 10 movies a year. I'd watch them all.
Bro I miss your videos... you basically started the new video essay trend
Pan's Labyrinth is one of the greatest films of all time.
A video that isn’t 5 months apart from the last one? You are spoiling us.
Making great video essays isn't easy. I've heard Every Frame A Painting & Channel Criswell say that it takes about a month to make a good one. This channel's videos are really good, so I agree with the other comment and will take quality over quantity anyday.
@Sternia Hoenheim its a joke...chill
Not anymore lol
LOL. This man gave up on us a while ago
Rip
KaptainKristian is back! I love these films. Pan's Labyrinth looks interesting and I look forward to watching it
It's my favorite of all of del Toro's movies
All I have to say is Bottle Scene.
Pan's Labyrinth makes me bawl my eyes out. I cried so hard the last time I watched it. Just be prepared for an emotional film.
Wow I envy you, I would love to see it for the first time again
It's amazing and not just for the monsters described in this video. The non monster scenes are good too
Thank you for coming back. Thank you for taking your time. Thank you for writing, teaching and sharing.
The Kaptain giving Guillermo some love. Awesome video, can't wait for the next.

Check out Guillermo's twitter. He gave back Kristian some love too
Nice video! I love Guillermo del Toro, I had the opportunity to meet him at a festival in Morelia and he's one of the nicest people I've ever met. Such a genius with a great heart
I was just thinking how sad it was that we're never going to see his Hellboy 3. He was the perfect guy to adapt those books.
Guillermo's designs have always stuck with me, in all honesty the designs inspired me. A lot of my art features eyes all over the place, pretty sure theres a little Guillermo inspiration in them.
Another wonderful video essay. Guillermo is an absolute inspiration; a master chef whose cuisine feeds our nightmare fuel.
This editing and narrating is so professional. Can't get enough of these videos.
The artwork of Mike Mignola deserves your treatment.
This was absolutely brilliant. The moment I saw the title I almost cried. I love Guillermo Del Toro, I’m so happy you did this.
I'm salty that you ain't back for real. Still waiting on 26 vids
Wonderful video essay! I absolutely love del Toro and his ideals. What a weird, good man.
Pan's Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies of all time. So glad you covered it
KaptainKristian has gotten to the point where people are simply excited to watch his video. And then the video is ALWAYS FUCKING GOOD!?!?!?
A TH-camr truly doing it right.
Can't wait to see his take on Pinnochio! Please do videos regularly man! Respect and love...
What a perfect treat after Halloween, kaptainkristian. Guillermo del Toro would be proud of this video. Who would've known a director who loved fantasy, sci-fi, and monsters ended up winning an Oscar?
This was a great video! I'm from Guadalajara and got the honor to see this man live. His passion for films and monsters is incredibly moving and fantastic.
I think it's about time I watch my first Guillermo del Toro film. Thank you for this amazing crash course in his work. :)
i like how you bring up the fact that it makes it easier for actors and actresses to react properly. harry potter and star wars are examples of movies with high budget yet relies on so much sfx that actors found it uncomfortable to work with and act naturally
Excelente! You've captured exactly what I've always said to my friends about Guillermo Del Toro in words I could never put together. Thanks for the video.
Kaptain, thank you. I am so happy to
1. See you back again
2. Hear you talk about Del Toro
Thank you.
Every Frame A Painting's successor. Not comparing to two, but this channel definitely fills the void that was left by that one.
No comment can express how much your videos means to me when I see it pop up in my sub box
Excellent video essay, my respect for Guillermo has increased.
Yes, actually he did. He sent me a DM and thanked me about my comment. He told me that my comment inspired him to reach for newer heights. Thank you for going out of your way and giving such positive reply to my comment and I am glad that you have such a positive outlook in life. @Sternia Hoenheim
Bro came thru,changed the way video essays are made, and dipped... miss you Kap.
Frieza is another good transforming baddie. "This isn't even my final form!"
Just worked a stressful and long shift. Was literally gunna just plop in bed and sleep but i HAD to watch this first!!!!!!! Love your work SOOOO MUCH! ❤️❤️❤️
This video is absolutely amazing! Your analysis of Del Toro’s way of making fantastic creatures is astounding!
Thank you for coming back. So much
The king of video essays is finally back
@Sternia Hoenheim true, but we're praising his ability to analyse and interpret the factors that make up art and also his production ability.
On those grounds I'd say he is TH-cam video essay's best rn
Your ability to blend V.O., visuals, graphics, spoken audio clips and music is really marvelous. I love your channel.
Ufff God bless this beauty...a KaptainKristian video ❤💪
Always always always worth the wait for these videos
Such nice production value. Well worth the wait, every single time.
Holy Shit that explains why P.T. IS A VISUAL MASTERPIECE
Thank you for taking so much time to make your amazing content, it really shows.
One of the best creators on TH-cam! Thanks for coming back.
Loved the intro animation of the Mignola illustrations!
Thank you for all that you do
So glad you pointed out my boy Doug Jones. It's about time creature actors get some damned recognition.
The kap is back guys, i seriously have missed your videos so much and finally having you back is amazing , we love you and keep up you're beautiful work
A combination of your editing, the music, the uniformity of Del Toro's work and me not having seen any of his films made all these different monsters feel like they were all part of a single, sprawling universe, which felt like its own piece of art. I have since seen one of his movies with the weird red monster in the snow mansion, pretty good film, but there is something oddly delightful about imagining an Alice In Wonderland type mega kingdom or something bridging the worlds of all of Del Toro's different movie monsters!
We are blessed with another video so quickly! I watch your Dr. Seuss video a few times a month... It's an absolute masterpiece.
Chuck Keough same! That was a really great video!
Always a pleasure sir.
It's amazing how even your Blue Apron ad has seamless editing and fits the general aesthetic of your channel!
I just realized something: if Guillermo del Toro made a Swamp Thing movie, and was granted permission to go crazy with it, we’d probably get one of the most visually intriguing superhero movies we’ve had in a very long time.
Thank you for coming back
Thank you for this Kaptain.
So glad to see you cover GdT and his world. If anyone wants to get more insight on del Toro, look up a podcast called School of Movies. Earlier this year, they did a retrospective on his movies starting with Devil's Backbone and covering most of his best movies. Well worth the listen.
you left again :(
Aaaaaand he's gone
No joke thank you for coming back. Love your videos
So glad to have you back! Great insights as always.
Kap always killin it. I always respect del toros art form for keeping the making of puppetry and creativity of creatures alive. And yeah everything Cgi'd just doesnt blend.
Excellent as always! Glad to see another post.
This essay is a masterclass! THANK YOU!
There’s been a strange void in my life lately, I’ve realized it was the lack of kap videos, welcome back kap.
Loved the supposed shots at Hobbits production, off which Del Toro was pushed, which later led to sir Ian McKellen breakdown on set having to act with sticks on green screen, and three laughably medicore movies
Sooooooo happy you're back! Please keep going these videos are inspirational.
Thank you for uploading again bro. You have no Idea how stoked I get when I see that notification.
I have been watching and Loving your videos for the past two years, you've helped me enjoy music, film, television and art more than previously by giving me the wonderful gift of knowledge and understanding, an immensely valuable gift which I'm extremely grateful for. I love your content more than i could ever express and I'm so proud of you for making it this far and keeping the heart of the channel while continuing to expand and improve them visually, technically and even content wise. i cant think of any other way to word this other than I feel your videos, im engrossed and immersed in the world you take me on a tour through and it's so enlightening and inspiring, i love every second. keep going strong Kristian, thank you for your content!
Thank you so much for your amazing content. It's always a pleasure to get a new video notification from you.
I don't know any director that can make use of such varied and engaging visuals as del Toro. I really, really hope that one day he gets to direct At the Mountains of Madness as he had intended to.
One word for this video.... QUALITY!!! 👌💯
Yo, a really good idea could be "Over the garden Wall". Truly an animated masterpiece.
THE RETURN!!! Been waiting so long, and I am not disappointed. Welcome back sir. Even if it's a brief, bright explosion and only in a single moment of time, welcome back.
Thank God! I've been waiting for a piece on him! Thank you.
I need more Kaptain in my life.
Glad to have you back man. I absolutely love your videos
Great to see you posting again Kaptain. Was hoping you hadn't left for good. Much love for you and your content. Take care.
Amazing! One of my favorite TH-camrs talking about one of my favorite directors. Couldn't be happier!
A KaptainKristian video posted right before I finish a new Citation Needed video makes an amazing day of youtube.
As someone who wants to go into filmmaking, I love watching your videos, they inspire me so much
Yay! Regular updates are back!
You make my favorite youtube videos on youtube.
Thank You
Genuine thanks for your continued efforts. Each of your videos leaves the internet a better place, no matter how much time passes between each.
This editing is this video is phenomenal. Way to go Kap.
Thanks for making these.
I'm so happy you're making videos again.
Literally so happy that you're back
The video editing god has graced us with a new heavenly video Essay about Guillermo del Toro.
So happy you’re back. Id love to see your editing process
This was actually really fast since the last one, thank you.
You have literally the best editing on TH-cam. I literally stop whatever I'm doing to watch your videos every time I see a new upload. Thanks for all your hard work.
Dang it! I saw Del Toro's name, and Monster in the same title--my heart leapt for a second because I thought it was going to be news about the live-action version of Naoki Urasaw's MONSTER he's supposed to be directing!!
Amazing and thought-provoking as usual, my dude. Del Toro is one of my favorite filmmakers and the fact that he's latinx always fills me with pride.
kaptain, you are as much a master of your craft as Del Toro is a master of his. Keep up the amazing work!
