as you can tell by the run time, I do not read or write this trope much! lol Links: Discord: discord.gg/r2WeevN3Ua Twitch: www.twitch.tv/ryanpeteslive Gaming Channel: th-cam.com/channels/q93DC9Jrmz_tQY9jakgouA.html Main Channel: th-cam.com/channels/A0d4wih_ecEWiLjy0Ws4Tg.html
This is a weird one to think about demographic wise but when I think post apocalyptic I think of Bionicle. Because several years into the first series they revealed that the entire setting of the universe was a half organic, half mechanical robot made by ancient beings to preserve life after a bloody massacre of a world war happened where nearly everyone died and the very planet split into three pieces. I should also mention that this robot god universe thing spends most of the story in a coma with a 100% chance of death if he doesn’t get a proper reboot which requires a sacrifice and a specific mask. The series was always dark but it didn’t get super dark until late into the storyline.
I'm impressed. You were practically silent. Not a criticism: your points on fantasy tropes are interesting (you kinda ramble to be honest but so do I when I talk so potato potahto), but if you're not familiar with the genre or trope, I think it's better to listen than to pop in with commentary. So, good on you.
As a Gen X I do find it kinda surreal (as In I hadn't even thought about it) when I realized a lot of Gen Z and Millennials actually freaked when Russia started threatening "The Bomb"; then I realized the cold war HAD ended before they were born or at least old enough to know about it. As a Swede we never had "duck and cover" and other stuff like that but the threat was always there, growing up. You just didn't think about it. The first time someone on Twitter asked me "how did you DEAL with it?" and I actually had to think about it, first what she meant (she had never experienced it) and more the fact that we didn't, really think about it. At least it was the late 70s - early 90s, not the hottest part of the cold war in the 60s with the Cuba Crisis.
I have a quick question have you seen red's trope talk on the hero's journey? Cuz if you have I have not found the video, if you haven't I would definitely recommend that one soon
I'm not the biggest fan of postapocalyptic settings either, though I am a fan of post-postapocaluptic settings, either during the rebuilding or after some rebuilding has already taken place. Speaking of messages being overwhelmed by the story, GRRM. At no point did I get any message out of those books other than the sense that the author was cackling maniacally in the background at the people foolish enough to actually care about anything and anyone in the story.
