To add on your thoughts about 'the media that goes against the narrative' at 11:32, we can look at the videogames that make the player insignificant as kind of games that *reject metanarratives* (or grand narratives), i.e. reject the grand ideas, trends and norms, in this situation it is the conventions of game narratives -- being a hero, saving the princess, saving the world. Same reason why Spider-Verse is so beloved with its uniqueness -- it is the first mainstream cartoon to rebel against its own canon, against the very notions of its hero's origin story, against the narrative being set in stone. It shakes up the narrative conventions by carving a new path for artistic self-expression in the postmodern setting. Awesome video! I like the links you explored between the games/manga brought up. And the occasional doodles are very endearing :)
inside was such an incredible game. great video❤
