There's nothing I love more than listening to someone talk about things they're passionate about, even if its a subject I'm unfamiliar with. Keep up the good work man, and don't worry too much about putting out videos faster, we'll be here when you make em.
" _...who find any subject I talk about interesting, those are the real ones. The ones who say that you could talk about anything and it works..._ " aaaye, it me lol. But seriously though, like, Cheers is kind of just a cultural osmosis thing for me as an American; I'd be lying if I said that I have any sort of active tangible interest in it or Frasier by extension. However, your video on the subject had me HOOKED and gave me a bigger appreciation for it all. I can't really articulate it, B-Mask, but you have a way of approaching/analyzing this stuff in a really appealing & compelling way. I strongly feel like it may be rooted in your own background as an artist/animator/storyteller, IMO the best video essays and/or deep dives on creative works often come from folks with experience crafting them ( _See: New Frame Plus & his "The Animation of Sonic Games" video or Red Letter Media and their SW Prequels review series_ ). With all that being said, keep up the great work!
I found your Frasier video about a month ago when it came out and needless to say, I loved it. Then I spent the next few days binging alot of your backlog. You have a very fun and eclectic mix which certainly aligns with my interests too. Jem was fun and uplifting, the Hercules video felt validating for loving it and the history of why the way it is and why it works and of course the massive Don Bluth musical video. It's endlessly fascinating hearing about the history of musical theatre. Very much giving me inspiration to knuckle down and make videos of my own (the "Don't just recap the events of a thing" comment is good advice, will keep in mind) Going to watch the Fantastic Four video now, keep up the great work, here's to 100K, beyond and more fantastic fun projects you want to work on!
been subscribed for a couple years now and i know numbers are all relative and shouldn’t be focused on too much but, it’s kinda insane to me that you’ve only got 75k subs right now. your work is tremendously well done, thoroughly polished and combed over, and most importantly to me, always brings in a personal relationship to the topic that makes discussing it feel so much more genuine than most folks who make videos on the internet where they talk about things. i know the algorithm does not reward quality and effort, just chasing the number that goes up, so no shade or anything, but i’m glad to have found your content when i did and watch it grow and mature and be reshaped year by year. keep doing you man
I haven't commented on anything before, I don't think, but I think your videos are really wonderful and I really enjoy hearing you talk about stuff you want to talk about. It's great. Most of what you cover are things I'm not interested in themselves, not especially so anyways, but it's always enjoyable to learn about new things and see people's perspectives. And you really deliver on that with interesting and insightful videos, and in such fun fashion too. It's great, looking forward to whatever comes next. And best of luck with everything!
The smile on my face as I was playing through Tsushima and noticing the same distant camera angles, editing, tone and overall feel of those cutscenes like we saw in Infamous and the Sly games on PS2. Smart way to save on resources. Not every game needs to be RDR2 level of production.
It's so true! Simillar impressive details in the interpersonal relationships and sold character dynamics they established without feeling like they have to overwhelm the player with info. Nate Fox clearly just wanted to make a love letter to a director he loved and it shows.
Even if I didn’t love so much of what you’ve done since, I was never gonna have a harsh word for whoever finally did the Sly Cooper series justice. Making me get teary eyed over the fantastic 4 was just gravy.
Subscribed! I can’t wait to delve a little more into your video library. Found you when the algorithm sent me your Frasier retro. I loved it, and I’m so glad you are having such success with it. It was thoughtful, entertaining, and clearly came from a passionately personal place; the kudos you’ve received are certainly well deserved! I am going to get ParaPlus for the new series, and am cautiously optimistic, though you’ve voiced a few of my concerns. Thanks for sticking in there and doing what you love.
Hahah, the idea that you're not safe from fan requests even if you ran away to a literal DESERT is so freakin' hilarious to me :D lol On a more serious note, I found your channel around the time you released the first Sly video and have been watching ever since. I have seen many of your videos repeatedly throughout the years and you are indeed one of few people on YT that I'm interested to listen to, even when it comes to stuff that I had no prior interest in. 'Cheers' mate, best of luck with future projects, take care and give my regards to fish people. 🐟
Thanks for the update after all this time. Your videos make me want to drop everything and pursue a career in musical theater even if I never had the interest to before
I think I’ve been a subscriber since…at the very least I think your Crash 4 video, but I found you through your Sly retrospectives, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Those videos motivated me to want to play them, and since then, they’ve become some of my favorite games. I look forward to whatever you put out next!
B-Mask, I have no idea what a Fraser is, but your style and formatting is just so engaging I can never not watch till the end. Those 2 and a half hours are gone, but atleast I now know a little more about a show I only ever heard vague references to. KEEP IT UP!!!!
Your Frasier vid hit at a perfect time, my partner and I were just in the middle of watching Frasier, which they love and it was my first time watching. Neither of us have seen Cheers so we had a blast learning Frasier's past on that show and honestly it really helped us to appreciate the show more especially when those Cheers elements popped up. Spoiled some future episodes lol but I don't think that actually ruins any enjoyment/appreciation and in fact, like you said, spurred a desire in me to watch more! Love the vids been watching for about a year and a half, can't wait to see what else you put out!
I'm glad the Frasier video did well! Hope the Marvel project goes smoothly when you decide to focus on it - I dunno what it's like to work on a video (or videos in this case) for ages, but I can imagine, and if you're trying to get straight up animation in it then I can sure see it being even more of a challenge.
Thanks Kriss! It's mostly a pain just because I have to plan everything before I commit to any storyboards or hiring artists properly, as well as figuring out stuff myself in concepts, so it's definitely a struggle, but I'm still optimistic it could happen!
I felt bad every time I checked in to see how the video was doing for the first week or 2 and the video not getting much attention. I thought the video was so great and one of your best. Very happy when I checked back one of the days and it finally hit the algorithm. Can't wait to see what you're up to next B Mask!
Hey B-Mask. I’ve been a fan for awhile now, but I don’t comment a lot. Just wanted to say that you make some of the highest quality and entertaining videos on TH-cam. I can’t wait to see what you do next. Thanks getting me to want to watch Cheers and Frasier
Hey man random question Have you played through Alan Wake 2 ? Might seem like it comes from left field but there is a legendary level that I'd love to get you're take on. Without spoiling too much there is a musical, the likes of which I've never seen implemented in a video game. It's an experience !
I love your video on all the Don Bluth musicals, its the first ones of yours I’ve watched and have played them in the background when working. Personally I’d love to see u talk more about cartoons and musicals, such as Disney for example. Either way love your work! ✨🎶🎼
First video of yours I saw was the first Sly video you did (probably the case for many here). But you have somehow managed to make me sit through videos tackling subjects I thought I couldn't care less about. And I want more! Your way of analysing things very thoroughly with your own opinions and style of humor makes anything feel like a top quality audio book. Make a video about paint drying, I dare you. I will watch it. Promise.
I’m not in the comments of every video because i don’t like to just comment for the sake of commenting but just that you know there’s even more of us that will watch you talk about anything some of us are just more silent then others stay healthy
I'm hoping upon hope your marvel project is related to a certain weather/storm related team (don't want to spoil). Absolute gem and full of consistently underrated comic runs. Especially with the God awful plans the MCU movie is going with, there needs to be more love for them. Could be wrong and this is nonsense, but that silhouette is very V shaped
It'll come when he's ready and after he has the big Marvel -Thunderbolts- video done & dusted; also, he has an older video on Sly 4 if you're interested - not quite sure how much his feelings have changed or what ways, but it's what it's (:
I definitely want to do it, it's just probably not going to be like the other three. I don't have the same level of passion or interest to give it that kind of treatment, as I don't feel it's on the same level at all.
I'm not sure why I'm subscribed here, it's certainly not for Frasier :) - oh yeah you are the person who made that interesting Fantasic Four video! What happened to the follow up? I just checked your past videos and see that you last posted something about it 2 years ago.
Sooo…do you have a schedule or deadlines you adhere to for releases or is this all of the cuff? Because honestly it feels like every video release is a surprise. A welcome surprise, but a surprise nonetheless
There's usually an order, and dates I'd like to hit, but my inner perfectionist/obsessionist takes over and decides what happens next. Trying desperately to take some business advice and harness that energy into a better planned schedule if possible!
as much as i never personally thought that infamous 2 lived much up to its ultimate potential i dont think ive ever heard someone actually call it bad. would you be interested in talking in depth on the subject?
I mean I don’t have that much to say, but I don’t think I can call it bad. Entertaining in spots, same quality touches but not quite as together, especially in some of the moral choices (nothing funnier than your friend wanting you to kill a busker just cause)
This is not a question, but I wanted to send you a message. Never sell out due to fear of not being "with it" or "cool enough" anymore. That is all, now back to whatever you were doing.
Interesting you didnt like the editing of the fantasic 4 video, I thought the erratic editing at points made it funnier and you definetly knew when to slowdown for the more important parts.
I guess it's not so much disliking it as feeling I coulda relaxed and not have quite so many movements where they weren't needed, but I still like the energy of the whole thing (and clearly so do other people!)
Yeaaaah Let's get this video to a lot of views in the first hour so that it gets love from youtube Algorithm bless this video which i liked even before watching it because it's that good Seriously, sometimes i end up pissed off because i can't like it again after watching it, fix that youtube Lots of words lots of engagement, yadda yadda
You’re the final boss of video essays. A mixture of light heartedness, intelligence and always a flow to it.
I watched Cheers before Frasier so you can not imagine how hard I laughed at “can you imagine playing the same character for 20 years?”
Oh god that ending XDDDDD. Bravo, simply bravo.
Looking forward to that Marvel project you're making. You put so much effort into your projects that I don't mind the wait, take as long as you need.
There's nothing I love more than listening to someone talk about things they're passionate about, even if its a subject I'm unfamiliar with.
Keep up the good work man, and don't worry too much about putting out videos faster, we'll be here when you make em.
I'm scared now
I'll do it again
I'll always be watching B, hope everything goes well for everything you've got cooking up.
Thanks man, I can always trust a fellow Fantomcat fan

When I saw the thumbnail I thought that you actually THE Frasier Crane on this one.
Thanks for taking my question! And as a patreon, let me just say that the timeline tours have been fantastic, thank you for those.
Thanks for the update. Your analysis always feel cohesive and insightful despite the long duration.
I hope you keep doing what you love, B Mask.
I found your Frasier video about a month ago when it came out and needless to say, I loved it. Then I spent the next few days binging alot of your backlog.

I finally took the plunge on Cheers and Frasier because of your video. I gotta say, I wish the later was in more of the former.
It's been a fun ride so far! Thanks for everything, B.
(What an awesome ending!)
The Frasier is already out and it's great seeing Lilith and Roz returning and seeing Frasier returning to Boston and reconnecting with his son
35:40 "island" with an s, yep I can confirm that those are authentic fello arabs, guys got great tone
8:09 "It's much easier to make something that's finished better, than it is to make something amazing from scratch."

I actually wrote this down 🙂
I started rewatching Frasier again thanks to your video

i can vouch for the successfulness of 7:42 as the video got me to finally watch the show.
Thanks for the update after all this time. Your videos make me want to drop everything and pursue a career in musical theater even if I never had the interest to before
I actually find myself humming "I could understand a person if he wasn't good in bed, turururuuuu" in the daily now that you mention it
I think I’ve been a subscriber since…at the very least I think your Crash 4 video, but I found you through your Sly retrospectives, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Those 2 and a half hours are gone, but atleast I now know a little more about a show I only ever heard vague references to.

If you were to do a video on Frasier, I would recommend viewing the show on how his supporting cast (family and friends) reflect on his own issues.
Your Frasier vid hit at a perfect time, my partner and I were just in the middle of watching Frasier, which they love and it was my first time watching. Neither of us have seen Cheers so we had a blast learning Frasier's past on that show and honestly it really helped us to appreciate the show more especially when those Cheers elements popped up.

I always get a smile when I see a new b-mask video
This was recommended after I saw that Frasier video. That was just great!
The new frasier is actually pretty solid. Kelsey Grammer doesnt miss a beat
I sincerely hope that ending is real. 'Cause damn that's awesome.
Hey man random question
Have you played through Alan Wake 2 ? Might seem like it comes from left field but there is a legendary level that I'd love to get you're take on. Without spoiling too much there is a musical, the likes of which I've never seen implemented in a video game.
It's an experience !
I've always been interested in the Wake series and this might have just driven me to investigate further, so you can take credit for that!
plz continue following your heart and make whatever you feel called to
I love your video on all the Don Bluth musicals, its the first ones of yours I’ve watched and have played them in the background when working. Personally I’d love to see u talk more about cartoons and musicals, such as Disney for example. Either way love your work! ✨🎶🎼
Always love listening to your videos man. Still dying to hear about sly 4 but mostly because you make this so intresting to listen to man.

Gotta say, of all the ways a youtuber can complain about common requests, this...was certainly the most unique way to do it.
Oh I ain't complaining, that video got sent to me! Felt like they had a point tbh.
@@BMask damn. Heck of a fan video you got. Thought it is nice to see someone understand you.
I’m not in the comments of every video because i don’t like to just comment for the sake of commenting but just that you know there’s even more of us that will watch you talk about anything some of us are just more silent then others stay healthy
Thanks so much! The ones who don't speak up are amazing too, just glad you're all still watching
RIP Lucid
He had it coming
What a fucking ending lmao
ur stuff is great bro
Wait the patreon I've been subscribed to for 4 years has perks? I've just been sitting here like a chump!
I never cared for cheers or Frasier mostly not a comedy tv show guy but I appreciate that people loved the video all the same.
R.I.P Lucid. A real one.
Please do the venture bros movie! My favorite adult swim show ended with such a perfect landing
I thought so too! Will try for sure to get something short together.
The 5th episode onwards the show gets back to classic Frasier.
I'm hoping upon hope your marvel project is related to a certain weather/storm related team (don't want to spoil). Absolute gem and full of consistently underrated comic runs.

listen, im waiting as long as it takes for that "sly 3 retrospective" i just felt like i had to say it 😅
0:33 hey thats me!
So used to seeing B-Mask with the same expression all the time, so him emoting is kinda crazy to me.
