    Xavier: Renegade Angel has quickly become one of my favourite shows of the 21st century. Its wit, unparalelled weirdness and extreme nature might turn some people away, but I think that it's a fantastic show.
    This video is an analysis and review of the show that was so overlooked on release, it literally killed the entire PFFR team.
    All music in this video sans that was in the show was made by me.

    "Stupidity is Xavier's main character trait" Yeah, I see it as, he's meant to satirize a form of Western spirituality that borrows from ancient non-Western traditions shallowly without respect or understanding of these ideas in their original cultural context. In other words, he's a jab at white surfer bros with dream catcher tattoos.

    The show is ugly, weird, and disturbing. But it doesn't do these things to just shitpost. I feel a lot of work went into making it offend your senses in the best of ways. To top it all off I enjoyed the humor and the various quotes that were a lot smarter than I thought they would be. Honestly it reminds me of cruelty squad the game.

    The way I discovered the show made it even more bizarre for me. I got curious one day and decided to search "." on TH-cam, and was met with a 3 minute clip from the episode "Shakashuri Blowdown" with around 3 million views with a simple dot as the title. Needless to say, without context of the show, I was mindblown, and subsequently laughing my ass off. Eventually, I decided to watch the show, and was not disappointed. Shakashuri Blowdown is still my favorite episode, and XRA is still one of my favorite shows. Sadly, the original video I found is gone due to copyright, but its legacy remains :)

    @JoeShmoe102 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Great vid! A couple things I'll point out:
    3:19 - I've always interpreted the third eye on his crotch as conveying that the way folks (mostly white liberals) try to adopt eastern/otherwise non-western spirituality without fully understanding it, end up unwittingly making it a masturbatory practice - merely to please the self with no ability to truly provide help to others. I think Malmrose Projects address this in her video too.
    13:12 - I always took the offensiveness of a lot of the jokes to be a reflection of just how damaging someone like Xavier is in the real world. Xavier fundamentally misunderstands the root of any and all societal evils, to the point of merely making them worse when he tries to "help." And on top of that, he completely lacks the self-awareness to realize what he's doing.
    (and yes, I do realize I'm saying this with Xavier literally being my channel/comment thumbnail lol)

Maybe just a little bit of side info, what is the series in general about, who made it, produced it, whioch network etc.
    Again, it's really not bad, as others said, the rest of the video has a level of quality even bigger channels dont reach, but those are my two cents to round it off.
