MisterAmazing I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU
MisterAmazing DO A LIVE STREAM
MisterAmazing split
MisterAmazing bring back the meme
YUMMY VHS I'd love to, as I love Ito's work, but someone's already covered him unfortunately
Black Mirror is a great show. It is one of the few shows however I can't really binge watch... it gets draining very fast
Volox TV That's for sure it's just nice to watch 1 or 2 episodes every now and then when you're feeling exceptionally twisted.
The only problem i had with Black Mirror was that I couldn´t stop once i started. I always had to watch at least three episodes at a time.
Volox TV idk what type of drained you got but i got drained because i got so invested into one of the stories that i couldn't watch another one
Scquagilychicken yes exactly.
On a different note: How the fuck did i get so many +1s?
Volox TV Every episode is a goddamn masterpiece thar geta you mentally and emotionally hooked like holy shitt
Black mirror is one my favorite shows of all time
only the first two seasons and the christmas special... season 3 was underwhelming.
kabeltelevizio really I thought season three was great
todd It had three good episodes and three mediocre ones, while S01 and 02 were consistently great.
Todd Howard I really enjoyed all 3 seasons.
kabeltelevizio i didnt like the first one that one was stupid maybe it was my prejudice because i saw the concept on community and thought it was stupid
Disagree on the "Nosedive" episode, it really is the other way around.
She starts off quite pathetic, not to other people in her world, but to us watchers. She only sees her worth in terms of popularity and her whole life is a mascarade that makes you wince several times.
It's in the end that she progressively becomes brilliant, because she's so determined, and she ends up actually freeing herself from the farce her world is. That's when she becomes a character you love and can relate to.
Apart from that, I completely agree, and it's a great video.
He didn't explain "Nosedive" from the perspective of viewers; he explained it from the perspective of Lacie. She strives to have what any other person wants--happiness and stability--but she believes that she can only attain those things through popularity. From her perspective, in her society, popularity affords every luxury she desires. Of course we see the dramatic irony, but she doesn't see the irony in something so blatant like how her brother, who isn't all that popular, can be content in his existence without pandering to strangers and she can't.
On relating to Lacie, I would probably argue that viewers can relate to her on every level. Some think that popularity can compensate for the many grievances they feel, but don't understand how vapid that pursuit can be when popular people are still people and those "grievances" aren't rooted in likability, but in humanity. As long as people are people, they will experience the undesirable consequences of existing, so the best anyone can do is to take it for what it is and learn to live with it--it isn't the "end all." The trucker woman is a great example because her world was her husband. Even when the most drastic event that could've happened to her occurred, she figured out how to live after. It's all, ultimately, just a matter of perspective for the characters, and Lacie sees that in the end as she shouts at another of society's forgotten in the super-chic jail cell.
Viewers understand how pathetic Lacie's pursuit is before she does because we live in a world where popularity has no dire stakes; we don't have to focus on it in the same way.
Thank you for adding the perspective my comment lacked. I do agree with you.
No problem, bro.
*sis
Agreeed. She said what she wanted. She liberated herself.
WARNING: There are some major spoilers in this video
thanks
Voodle Van Noodle too bad you're all the way down in the comments
Is that guy from Black Mirror from Get Out
Happ3 ye
Happ3 yeah. He was in black mirror first.
DBMontefalcon ik
In an interview Jordan Peele, the director of Get Out, said he thought of casting Daniel Kaluuya after watching Fifteen Million Merits.
No, that guy from Get Out is from Black Mirror
1984 was briefly mentioned, but I was reading 1984 while watching black mirror episodes I made so connections. It was so "wow" for me.
Hey so glad to see you cover Black Mirror definitely my favourite show from last year!
All your videos are incredible keep up the good work.
San Junipero genuinely made me cry, and there's not a single episode I didn't enjoy.
Ooh. Uberdanger
Yoooo big ube
With all due respect you need to watch White Christmas again, because apparently you didn´t really get it. It is false that the guy wasn´t real. He was real, he wanted to have a relationship with his daughter. However the copy of him (his conciousness) wasn´t real, and they god the confession out from the copy of him, while he was locked up in his prison cell.
Stefán Atli Jakobsson yea, I got it. But I wasn't going to explain all that though. It would've ruined the cadence of my speech. The consciousness of the man that was telling our story was an artificial copy of real consciousness. Thus, it was not real consciousness and the man was not real.
I get what you are saying, when you put it like that the message is clear. I did not mean to ffend you if I did (text on the internet doesn´t express emotion, so neither me or you doesn´t know with kind of tone we are saying the things that we are saying ;) )
i hate black mirror because once i've watched all the episodes, i can never get to re-experience the wonder of watching them for the first time ever again :(((((
FueledByDaria new season coming up 🎉
I bet some people thought they were gonna have to fight but then got struck with how relatable this is :0
FueledByDaria I’m almost done watching them all (it takes a while for me to watch in between episodes) and i was planning to rewatch once im done but ur right ah
honestly black mirror is a breath of fresh air I didn't know I needed
Dystopias done right: 1984, Children of Men, Half Life 2, Brazil.
Colin Mayuga lol Brazil
Colin Mayuga you can't forget metropolis
I enjoyed Snowpiercer
What you mean by saying Brazil?
z Clipp The Scifi movie Brazil.
I know it was borne out of necessity, but your transition from cringe compilations to video essays has been pretty tremendous. The quality of this essay rivals the most professional video essayists on youtube. Good job.
I like the video but I think you could've pointed out the fact that it's called Black Mirror because every episode deals with technology. Our TV's screen is a black mirror, so are our computers, smartphones, etc.
That"s a great interpretation, but maybe it isn't one the creator of this video shares or has thought of. Though there are myriad readings and interpretations of art, all of which are equally worthwhile, the explicitly intended meaning of the title Black Mirror is that the show serves as a dark reflection of our society
Yeah, I took it as the way C M H says. I view the show as a dark reflection on what are society is like, or on the verge of becoming like.
While the black screen interpretation completely makes sense, I don't think it was so much the intended meaning of the title, so much as a consequence of what it's trying to reflect.
We are a society that is more and more driven by technology as the years go on, and this show is, again, a rather dark reflection on what that could be like for us in the future.
Nosedive was the first one I watched, and really hit the nail on the head of that interpretation for me. And playtest was a mindfuck that really drove it home! haha
C.M. H. The title does refer to the screens of phones etc. and how we are left looking at ourselves once the technology has switched off.
UpcoRaul it’s because it’s a dark ferflectuon if reality -; like a black mirror
"Black Mirror"... Now that I think about it wasn't that a description for the telescreens in 1984?
What I love about Black Mirror is every episode feels like a slightly different outcome of the technological progression of today. Some aren't even in the future, but all those that are feel pretty real. Each one focuses on a different aspect that could be nightmarish if taken to the extreme and Black Mirror manages to take it to the extreme and still keep itself grounded. It's genius.
For me, "Nosedive" was pretty much the only happy non ironic ending. She was accepting of what her life was. She actually got to do what she wanted.
Reminds me of Nerdwriter.
it's a video essay
sure it's gonna be like nerdwriter
BUT NERDWRITER IS 100% ORIGINAL /s
Mysterious Middle East just now he dropped a video about BM.. 👍
Black Mirror is gold! Im so happy someone recommended me this show. The Nose Dive episode is kind of whats going on these days. Every story is perfect. My favorite is San Junipero
Wait a minute? How did you go from cringe compilations to fucking content as good as this?
LMAOO 0:33 the shade thrown at the newest ghost busters movie
I'd like to think that the man from 15 Million Merits is going to keep "acting" until he can get to her again. The penguin in the last shot shows that he hasn't forgotten her, and I sincerely hope he's working towards a rescue of some sort.
How don't you have over 1 million subscribers yet. The amount of effort that is clearly shown in all of your videos is beyond what most people on this platform care to go through. I've seen all of your videos ever sense the vaporwave explanation you did and I was amazed at how brilliant people can be. You've captivated me and that's hard to do now in the age of emojis and cancerous vlogs. You're easily one of my favorite channels for this reason. I hope to see you grow very quickly in the coming year.
this is a great analysis. Love the edit, the dialogue, and tie-ins to the older films
Love the way you edited that intro, the stab synced up with the music was both brutal and hilarious
One of the best shows I've ever seen. Criminally underrated.
Came across this channel today. Already love you.
the vr episode and the texting privacy invasion one were my favorites and now i have to go re watch all of them
This is my fifth time cycling through every video of his and it gets better EVERY TIME! Well done Mister Amazing, my hat is off to you.
Black mirror is definitely one of my favourite shows, beautiful depiction of it! Plus i love how the music near the end had the actual sound effect of the merits dropping from that episode... nice touch!
Great video, with the worst mispronunciation of "Requiem" I've ever heard.
Beatness lol that did stond out for mi two!
GRAMMAR, PLEASE.
His pronunciation was off throughout. His pronunciation of 'fascist' and 'derision' are other examples that I noticed.
Beatness my guess is he reads a lot and hasn't heard the words out loud as often
His pronunciation of at least 10 words throughout was like "wow" bad. lol
Editing is on point... Yet again.
Great video. Maybe you could do other ones about George Carlin or Mr Robot. They're unrelated but I think there is a lot you can say about them.
Diya Yo yes! Mr Robot is a good one to dissect!
Love the editing...keep the videos coming!
black mirror never ceases to amaze me. after watching “shut up and dance” i was left completely speechless
This is one of the first thorough and well written video analyses I have seen of Black Mirror! Your dialogue is clear and confident and you really have a grasp of the show. Keep it up
damn just realized that the guy from Get Out was in this
Or the guy from Black Mirror was in Get Out
Actually, it's the opposite. Fifteen Million Merits came out six years prior.
Excellent work man, this is great.
Once again, great video.
im so happy i found your channel
I love the new video essay format!
the background music is so good it is actually distracting
Really like this. The editorial style fits you well.
san junipero was the highlight for me. so incredibly well done.
I love your style of your videos. Very original and unique.
Watched the entire thing in a week or week and a half. SO GOOD
I can't handle more than one episode a day.
Viswajit Nair sometime it's hard to swallow the truth. But I get it , it does get kinda weird at times.
"If you wanna see drama"
>footage of "the room"
Hahahahahahaha
I love your videos man, I've been following you since your other channels
i havnt had a channel that grabs my attention so easily for so long. thank you
I am so pleased with this video. I've tried to explain this show to people & can never really get out all my thoughts because it's so.. different? The 2nd episode was my favorite & I was so happy when you focused on it
Thanks for the great content, you really don't fail to deliver.
I'm really happy the way this channel is going
This is one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam in a while, thank you for packaging and sharing your thoughts so elegantly MA
you deserve way more subs man. you put so much effort in your videos and they are really high quality!

Oh shit how have I just discovered this channel, instant subscribe! Also Black Mirror is one of my all time favourite shows, watched it since it first aired in the UK, I'm glad so many people are finally starting to discover it.
I've been going back and watching some Mr.amazing these videos are so well put together every corner of the video was thought out and I think it's really cool also Mr.amazing got me into liking more vaporwave than I should. keep it up :)
Thank you for explaining Dystopia
I can only watch one episode usually per day or so, and that’s why I love it. My brain is fried and I just need a sec to think about what I just watched. Great show
amazing video, well put together, entertaining, loved it
"extrapolating the future from the present" couldnt have said it any better. great insight.
Outstanding content. Subbed.
that damn song at the beginning gives me chills now
Bro I’m in love with your explanations
Great vid, dude, good points about the show. There were some moments, namely the Walk Like an Egyptian where I had trouble hearing you. Hoping to help improvement.
oh my god your videos are so well done keep up the good work
SUBBED. I love videos like this and you really killed the topic! I loved the black mirror series.
15 Million Merits will always be the best Black Mirror episode. It's hard to top but also I've seen the quality drop from the first 2 seasons.
This was such a great analysis, damn.
your videos are insane, i never comment but these are amazing man
I LOVE THIS.
Really liked this video. You should do more of this type of content when you get the time in the coming months. ✌🏽
great video thank you
great video man, love black mirror.
Amazing dude
I've seen all of Black Mirror, its fantastic, but holy shit man. You are spoiling so much in this video. So many scenes you decided to show here are CRUCIAL to the stories in some episodes.
my fav channel! really is AMAKING!
I loved this show!!!
I love this show
damn this channel has evolved over short period of time. keep doing what your doing your content is "amazing"
