But before we begin, let’s take a moment to talk about our sponsor for this video: Weyland-Yutani… Building Better Worlds.
Average Weyland-Yutani consoomer VS average Seegson enjoyer
Yes they will be merging with Cyberdyne Systems soon
Hahah
lol nice
@@GonzoShitcock Followed swiftly by Umbrella Corporation. Just imagine what they could accomplish!
Ripley summed them up best with “You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage”
Well, jossed in Aliens 4 when two aliens kill a Third to escape their cells.
@@alpharius4434
We pretend that movie isn't canon
@@Menaceblue3 Make perfectly sense however. Earth animal can be quite vicious themselves.
Never heard about dolphins, or even some otters ? Those animals use to kill for pleasure, or even kill their off spring if they mind them too much. Some dolphins even rape their female. :/
@@Menaceblue3 Alien 4 is fantastic. Watch it when you're in a good mood. Great acting, great camera work, great cinematography, creepy scenes, great action, great cast, fast paced, short and sweet length.
Alien 1: 10/10
Alien 2: 9.5/10
Alien 3: 4/10
Alien 4: 8/10 (7 at the very lowest)
@@TheSwordfish009 the water scene in Alien 4 was interesting and the 'banter' between the caged xenomorph and the scientist was also a plus. There were some memorable lines "what's inside me?' and "Like you haven't fucked a robot before ". The ending is ridiculous though. The movie had potential but failed.
At the shareholder meeting where the CEO is talking about how much money we stand to make if we just give this Chest-Exploding Alien idea its 35th try.
Basically Todd Howard talking the board into re-releasing Skyrim for the 35th time, everyone applauds and calls him a genius, the public bends over and that's how we get a 35th Xenomorph outbreak
*Weyland-Yutani:* It just works
@@xxvaltielxx1789 At least skyrim results in a direct profit and nobody gets eaten.
Which seems to be the recurring theme in Alien. NO ONE should be controlling or believing they can control the xenomorphs, they're too dangerous as they ALWAYS end up killing everyone in the end as they ONLY need to be wiped out. Xenomorphs are really crafty and always find a way to escape, reproduce, and kill everyone around them due to their acid blood that gets all over the place, strength, speed, and intelligence as their NOT supposed to be researched at all, that's the whole point on why the space jockeys got killed on their own ship, xenomorphs CAN'T be controlled or "researched" at all, they can only be destroyed but so many people make the mistakes of thinking they can use them and now humans are the next target to get wiped because of their own hubris.
It will inevitably fall apart just like all the other plans for the xenomorphs' containment like the space jockeys and now the humans.
Being evil isn't just the least of their problems of the Corporation, it's their hubris of control is the MAIN problem for all intelligent species.
@@Gadget-Walkmen Now you have isolated the fundamental error that lead to the failure of the black strain Xenomorphs as slave workers. A set of errors that made the new stock toxic cargo to colony worlds. For all of their genius the Engineers made a horrible set of errors. Besides their intelligence the ability to use intelligent humanoid bodies as hosts doomed the project. Some 94 cargo ships went out then. We know that xenomorphs can bring down a ship by inseminating the pilots.
@@randallbesch2424 Nothing you’ve said goes against what I’ve been saying. The xenomoprhs ultimately are basic animals with very limited intelligence no matter who their host are through their evolutionary process but extremely dangerous and aggressively violent. They can only “bring down a ship” if they get loose with the facehuggers infecting the crew which is what most likely happened to them based off of clues and hints we have seen.
The Engineers should have never used them, nor should the humans have tried as well, but they did so because they were arrogant enough to believe they could control them which we constantly see in the series that’s not really possible.
Yahtzee had a good theory about weyland yutani, like one high up executive said in passing about the xenomorph "would be interesting to get that under a microscope" then an army of middle managers looking for a promotion sprung into action to try and get a hold of a xenomorph with little regard for how many people die. All over a throw away comment of half hearted curiosity.
*LMAO* that's great! Where did he say that?
@@Delightfully_Bitchy one of the let's drown out episodes I believe. Dont know which one so good luck.
I think it's a brilliant idea to analyze evil corporations like Weyland Yutani because it's a murkier subject than an evil individual. It's not just a big wig at the top that decides vile acts, whether its for greed or an extreme act for "the greater good", but a system in place where multiple individuals willing allow for such acts to happen in the first place but unlike an empire or an invading force, the corporation is always trying to convince the public at large that they're on _their_ side. I feel the Umbrella Corporation, Omni Consumer Products, and Ingen would be great follow ups for a later time.
Indeed, hell we're starting to see this today and if left unchecked it will get worse.
Let’s not forget BioSyn.
Yes...he should do Cyberdyne from Terminator next
@@GonzoShitcock I guess the tricky part is determining how "evil" Cyberdyne Systems as a company is. When it's assets are under control by SkyNet during the War Against the Machines, then it's definitely evil but is it really a company by that point? Pre-Judgment Day Cyberdyne seems like a... naively optimistic branch of the military industrial complex. No one was hurt when they find this mystery super-tech and under Miles Dyson they simply reverse engineer it with hopes that it can benefit human society, sold the tech to the US Military, and then it goes rogue. It was stupid but I don't see any vile motives to their actions.
Fontaine futuristics
The xenomorph as a controllable weapon is such a fool’s errand. Since Weyland-Yutani is so good at making androids, then why not do what the Tyrell Corporation does Blade Runner, make a bunch of killers that will naturally die in a few years?
Because the xenomorphs were clearly better weapons than androids. They thought they can control them from their business-like egos
They did, Weyland-Yutani has its own private army of combat oriented synthetics. They just are inferior to xenomorphs.
Because, in a few years, the androids would kill their manufacturers, lol!
@Max Singer Ridley Scott said he imagines them as the same universe, and it makes sense given the time differences between the movies
@@Gadget-Walkmen well they’re not really a better weapon for the reason you described, they cannot be wielded.
It’s amazing how from a perspective of moral subjects vs. moral agents, the WY Corporation is actually worse than the Xenomorphs. Like any non-human animal on Earth, Xeno’s can’t necessarily be held accountable for their actions, since they’re incapable of making a choice between good and evil. So despite being the face value antagonists of the series, the company is actually the worse foe who lurks in the background. Great job analyzing their evil deeds 👏🏼
Name of the movie?

Weyland-Yutani Corp: Where being completely, irredeemably evil is the least of their problems.
I don’t know why but I heard this being said in media zealots voice
@@Br33zzy21 Media Zealot actually gave a feasible plan for researching xenos while not getting everyone killed. So yeah, being evil is actually the least of their problems.

As long as we’re discussing corporations, one that definitely rivals Weyland-Yutani is Umbrella.
Everything pales in comparison to Fauci's lab.
Indeed. And Omni Consumer Products, to some extend.
And Union Aerospace Corporation from the DooM franchise.
Vought is also a big one
Cronos Corporation FROM GUYVER
We should suggest Thulsa Doom of the Conan movie.
James Earl Jones is an Excelent actor and Villain and he never directly fights the hero either.
"Now they will know why they're afraid of the dark.
Now they will learn why they fear the night."

I love the consistency of your speech pattern. It simultaneously sounds like every break is a new vocal take that you’ve taped together as well as you’ve recorded every video in one consecutive run. So smooth to listen to you
@@VectorOfKnowledge ?
@@VectorOfKnowledge lmao then why are you watching it?
I love how when Peter is old he dresses like Dr evil
Good choice. I was thinking maybe you should do Wanda from Wanda vision. What she did was incredibly egregious
“They’ll never know what you sacrificed for them.”
@@heartlessangel2910 haha yeah that was one of the most dumbest things I've ever heard come out of a person's mouth and I've heard a lot of dumb things LOL
Not only that, but he can add her activities from Dr. Strange 2.
@@jameskenny1924 yes! "Imaginary playmates" -Rene & Angela 1981
Never seen Wanda vision. I only know her from House of M, and yes, she would make a great addition for this series.
Small correction. This video says "The colony on LV426 was overrun by aliens, shortly after this they found Ripley in her escape shuttle".
According to the movie Aliens, they found Ripley in her escape shuttle first. Then based on her story Burke sent the colonists to inspect the derelict spaceship. Ripley yells at Burke because he didn't warn them Ripley said it was full of Aliens. He just told them to check the coordinates for a derelict spaceship.
A single villain can be terrifying but fighting an organization like Weyland yutani is a whole other beast. The reach and how are they have is hard to combat.
When Ripley Said To Burke In Aliens "I Don't Know Which Species Is Worse, At Least These Things Don't Fuck Each Other
Over For A Goddamn Percentage." She Was Right In That For The Xenomorphs Nothing Mattered Beyond The Survival Of
The Species, Not Even Individual Drones As Was Shown Onboard The U.S.M. Auriga. For Corporations However The Only
Things That Matter Are Greed, Power And Reaching The Pinnacle Before Someone Else, Even If It's For Bragging Rights.
Xenomorphs Have No Ego, The Concept Of Bragging Rights Doesn't Exist To Them. The One Thing That Corporations And
The Xenomorphs Do Have In Common, Is They Should Both Be Placed In One Spot And Nuked From Orbit Simply For The
Threat That They've Brought To The Universe.
Agreed. Xenomorphs are the most terrifying creatures ever. Nuke them from space is the only clear solution. Once one if them gets free, all manner of hell breaks loose.
Please stop putting a capital letter at the start of every word, and also don’t make every single new sentence on a new paragraph. Your comment was very awkward to read
This was a nice change of pace to focus on evil corporation and this one of the franchise I love
In the backstory for Ripley, we learn that she sued the company to continue her pregnancy(it's presumed WY wanted her to terminate it so she could continue working). She has the baby but her child dies of old age & most likely, she never raised her daughter due to spending all her time making money for the company in space
Ripley didn't sacrifice herself in Alien 3 to destroy the prison, she did it to kill the xenomorph inside her.
Guy Pierce is a severely underrated actor.
Could you please do Kevin/The Horde from Split? Love the videos man!!
Also if you're going to do one on a villainous corporation might I suggest Omni Consumer Products, OCP, from the "Robocop" franchise. A company that laid out the steps for the ultimate take over of an entire industrial complex through economics by buying out both law enforcement and military for the sole purpose of profit.
He did it already.
My fault. It was too stupid to exist, ocp corp
Damn I'm happy that companies aren't the main factor in our militaries operations today
@@670HP-Package-NOW #rimshot
@@670HP-Package-NOW ever heard of the military industrial complex? Eisenhower spoke of them in his last speech
I work for Weiland Yutani, been with the company for ten years. The profit sharing in March is awesome. Plus the insurance and the 401K
I would love to see you discuss The Combine/Wallace Breen from Half-Life 2
I think Wallace breen might be better as we know little to nothing about the interdementional empire known as the combine
Why not make a video only about David? He's clearly the most evil character to come out of that corporation.
He's still a product of the company and isn't the antagonist of the mainline series as much as WY is
@@StrifeSoul990 He was both a product and an employee. Also, at least David is a character.
"corporations are characters my friend"
th-cam.com/video/KlPQkd_AA6c/w-d-xo.html
For all we know he could be doing exactly as he was created and programmed to do; agressively pursue, investigate, exploit, utilize, apply and maximize every opportunity to expand the company's knowledge, abilities, profits and power by any and all means, regardless of any ethical and personal constraints, at least philosophically. This makes him practically no different from Ash ie. a physical embodiment of the company's vision, objectives and ideals; even more so than old Mr. Weyland himself.
In my view Carter Burke, an actual human being, is the most evil character in the whole franchise.
@@WallKenshiro Axel Foley pissed him off
My dad got me hooked into the Alien and Predator Franchise at a early age, 8 so '91, started collecting only Alien/PRED comics then books. Took a break but the Alex White books are my Fav.
Great pick. I’m obsessed with Alien Theory, and the evilness of Weyland-Yutani.
Would love to see a breakdown of the T-1000 from T2. I know it’s programmed to kill but there’s so many instances where it starts to become self aware and toy with it’s targets.
I think he should do video on Skynet as a whole...
Call to John i know this hurts.
@@benjaminstacy3227 talk about wish granted amirite?
@@1165reddragon hell yeah! Another great video as well. I hope he does more with villainous corporations, governments and other various groups...
The scary part about this is that, sadly, corporations like this exist in real life
Reality is stranger than fiction , after all
The Union Aerospace Corporation from the Doom franchise is a good choice as well
Weyland employee:
"You guys go to sleep, I'll watch the speci...*cough* make sure you don't die in suspended animation."
Human vegan colonist:
"This shit cannot get back to earth"
Predator:

@@terminator572 Analyzing Evil.
Considering how many times Weyland-Yutani has tried to acquire a xenomorph and been thwarted by a scrappy band of underdogs, I'm starting to wonder if they're actually being run by Dr. Robotnik.
You may have gotten this recommendation before but how about each of the factions in Warhammmer 40k? The premise of the universe is that every faction is their own type of evil. It would be interesting to see your take on it.
I honestly think that would be incredible. You could discuss the individual chaos gods or say the etherials from the Tau empire. Maybe even the god empruh.
What I love about 40k is that there are no good guys, it's Evil vs Evil. There are the bad guys (Imperium of Man, Orks, Eldar, Tau, Necrons) and then there's pure evil (Dark Eldar, Chaos, Tyranids).
though there is still a severity scale tau near the bottom as merely space communists then orks because they were desgined to be this way with tyranids as least evil as they are essentially animals.
imperium of man as the mid evil scale and choas and drukari at the top of the evil scale.
A video on Horus Lupercal would be interesting... there's so much source material to draw from too.
As a fan, and critic of the WH40k universe (it sparked my interest in philosophy, and I later realized how damn cruel and stupid the whole cosmology is)--as a fan and critic of WH40k, that would be a rabbit hole that Vile would have to live in for a number of years.
I'd save him the troulbe by saying that 40k is ultimately 'rationalism gone mad', in that the values espoused are either classic virtues like courage against impossible odds, or just as much Enlightenment-style values like science and reason are paramount, or that a productive society is the best one (e.g., Frederick the Great of Prussia saying that you should send all the dumb brutes off to fight but keep the even-tempered workers off the front lines). BUT evil-luls says otherwise.
I'd also say that 40K is very much existentialist, in that 'the gods need faith to survive, thus gods are ultimately man-made entities', or that most of the space demons aren't proper demons, but are just negative emotions given form and hunger. 'Existence precedes essence'.
Though, I will also say it is fair that 40k IS satire, and for satire to stand, it needs innate values so that it has something to compare/contrast/criticize. It is a bizarre and even admirable mix of stuff, 40k is, BUT ultimately it is screwed by its malignant cosmology.
[As in, there is the Materium and Immaterium, the physical and energy worlds, and that the Materium influences the Immaterium to a great degree, so that the Immaterium can in turn bleed over into the physical, and spawn demon-things based on the malice of the thinking minds of physical creatuers, like humans. But, the balance is lopsided, in that the Immaterium has an easier time subsuming the Materium into itself, and there does not seem to be a way to reverse this.
Basically, 40k does not have an explanation for the origin of malice or evil, it just accepts that it exists and runs with it. In addition, unless restrained, the supernatural elements are always baneful to the mundane beings, where in other settings the supernatural is either neutral, beneficial, or even benevolent.
Thank for listening to this lecture, take your complimentary peanuts on the way out.
When he said thanks to our sponsors, for just a second, I thought hw was going to say the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. It would have been very funny had that been the case. Lost opportunity. I now want to start my own business and name it the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
I'll save you having to listen to the analysis: The clue's in the name: *CORPORATION.*
I'm so glad I asked for Carter J. Burke but got the whole Weyland-Yutani Corps instead! Bravo and thank you!
“Burke, Carter J!”
@@wrenchhead6840 Lol. I know, I just always figured they were listing his name as: List, First, Middle Initial.
Some characters from the fallout series would be interesting like the master or Caesar
Yeah, I was thinking Mr. House would be an interesting topic for a video.
@@JyggaIag I mean he’s not really a villain and not really at all evil, you even lose karma for killing him
@@TDenterpriser Mr.House is definitely evil, he's just not Satan incarcerated like Caesar
Thank you for doing this! I've been wanting you to do a video on David from alien covenant, but this was a better option. The source of it all.
same
Would love to see you tackle Rutger Hauer from the Hitcher since his motivations are so ambiguous
I wish we could all unite in ignoring Alien 3's existence. I almost walked out in the first 5 minutes it was such a slap in the face.
why? imo better than resurrection/prometheus/covenant...
Only reason ppl (and probably you) hated it is bcs Newt+Hicks were killed off!?
@@leonefurlan137 because it killed the momentum of the best space horror and best science fiction action movie ever made. I agree Resurrection et al were terrible - unwatchable, but to me Alien 3 set the tone for the franchise's collapse. And they killed Newt and Hicks off camera. Reprehensible decision.
@@John.Angell the assembly cut of alien 3 is actually good
@@leonefurlan137 Better than Prometheus and Covenant? Man... Well I have to respectfully disagree with you but I guess to each is own.
@@jakealter5504 yessss! It is a different film (the theatrical version has really big chunks of it cut out,Juniors death,the imprisonment of the xenomorph,corridor chase is trimmed a lot etc.)
Great pick for a video! I'm addicted to the audio books, they fill in so many gaps - and expand the Alien universe.
Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about! I've been waiting for this one. The first two movies will always be some excellent watching material, and I've always wanted to know more! Thank you so much for covering this!!
I suggested this a couple weeks ago, thank you so much for considering doing this video. I love this channel and it makes my day whenever I see a new video pop up on my screen
Here's hoping you do a video regarding the Umbrella Corporation in the future!
Which one? The one from the movies?
Those movies have so many inconsistencies and retcons that it makes hard to understand the villains.
Though I would love to see a video of Albert Wesker from the games.
@@lisboah That is true, didn't think of that when I wrote that down. I'd stick with the games for the video. An Albert Wesker one would be cool as well.
Ripley sacraficed herself to kill the queen alien being born inside of her. The prison isn't destroyed. It's just abandoned. I only mention it because that queen was what the company was after and denied, so it's relevant. Particularly because the last prison leader left - while being an employee of the company - sacrafices himself to help Ripley deny the company it's prize.
Given how frustrating A3 was in how it both killed off key characters (off screen and for little to no reason and reversed the expanded, larger scale that Cameron so brilliantly escalated the scope and scale of the threat, company, and universe down to one alien, no guns, isolated and convicted rapists and murderers at risk rather than entire colonies and mankind itself, I try to ignore it as much as possible too. The sad part is that it's actually a great movie, just a shifty ALIENS sequel movie. With a few minor changes it would have been a FANTASTIC sequel to ALIEN and an ideal setup for a Cameron made Aliens 3 just like the Aliens 2 he actually made. Plus that way Alien Ressurection would have never been made. Whatever else, THAT would have been a GIFT to the world even Zeus and Prometheus would have happily supported together, post liver or pre liver, depending. On the time of day and the day and date release schedule in post covid Olympus cinema markets.
I've never been more excited for a video in my life. Thank you.
YES!!! I was hoping this would happen, I was watching Aliens a few months back and thought this would be a great addition
This is why I always thought that Prometheus ruined Alien. WY was a lot better as this massive unknowable entity. Yeah, the Xenomorph was bad but WY was the true villain of the series and all the horror that the team went through on the Nostromo was made in some board room somewhere where someone was like “Yeah, these people will die in horrific deaths but it’s like seven people and our profits will go up massively from this.” Then Prometheus ruins everything by making it way more personal with the alien.
Would you ever Analyze a character like Sephiroth? Or two other great ideas I saw mentioned were Aunt Lydia from Handmaid's tale & the Illusive Man from Mass Effect.
I like the Illusive Man idea. Would be considered an Anti-Villain or a Tragic Villain, since he did have good, noble intentions at first for the whole of the galaxy, before his gradual and then exponential descent into antagonistic logic and vile reasoning?
This is great, I was actually going to suggest doing a video on Ash from Alien, but you've done the whole corporation which makes sense!
Seeing you cover the corporation is quite a treat Eye thank you
A murky space corporation where you can't trust anyone. Reminds me of the hit game Among Us, and it's villain, the Impostor, who you should consider covering.
A kid definitely wrote this comment
This was fantastic! W-Y is a perfect subject for a video! I don't know if you've done one on Umbrella Corp yet but if you haven't, that might be a good one.
This is my favorite entry yet.
The Alien history is very helpful . Thanks
Reading the room with this post, immediate sub. Watched a few vids over the years but this one nails it down!!
For an all powerful, unstoppable, soulless corporation Weyland-Yutani is pretty easy to stop. You'd think they'd shut down the xenomorph program by now. It's got to be way over budget and definitely not showing results
Please do a video on Johan Liebert from Monster. The perfect antagonist to analyze and make a long video on.
I always chuckle when you maintain the narrative persona throughout the advertisement text read. That's hilarious.
fav channel to binge. thanks man
YES!!!!!!! I literally just jumped for Joy. After Raised By Wolves Season 2 finale I jumped into the Alien Universe pretty hard!!!!
Loved s2 of raised by wolves!
@@FAILG0AT with BCS and Ozark ending and over it’s my favorite show on TV by a mile!!!
@@Tech215Studios i really hope we get a comic or a cartoon special or something before s3!
I think It'smore likely WY was trying to contact the Engineers again, but instead was met with the Xenomorph. Not knowing the difference the Android acted on it's orders and Brought the Nostromo To ruin, with the rest of the galaxy potentially as well. Weylands Ghost still looking to meet his creators and obtain immortality
Its a pleasure everytime you upload!
Awesome. I wasn't expecting an organization episode. This is great
I really hope you could review more of these evil corporations like the UAC or Umbrella. It would be fun to and interesting to see.
David was the true son of Peter Weyland. The latter created him so. And what could David do after his beloved father died? Create. His father lost the moral compass long before he died. So why should David have one. His only sense of morality was inherited by Peter Weyland, whom I presume was the sole teacher of David. This explains Alien Covenant more.
Thank you for making this!!!!!
Damn, I'm early. Thank you very much for all of your insightful analyses. Each is a delight to watch.
It would be great to see you analyze Wanda Maximoff (Scarlett Witch) from the MCU. Multiverse of Madness really brings a lot to the table regarding her.
What mouth?
Would love to see Dexter Morgan from Dexter or Elijah Prince from Unbreakable and Glass
What a great topic / subject to breakdown, thanks!
The best response to the hubris of Weyland-Yutani comes from Dr. Ian Malcolm: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Sidestepping aliens that want to eat and use humans as a birthing host, the idea of living on a ship, in space is horrifying enough.
An analysis of the The Master from Fallout 1 would be very interesting.
Your videos are the hallmark of my day thank you very much
I was hoping for another may themed Star Wars month of villains but I'm thankful for you showing this expansive and more comprehensive side to Weyland Yutani outside of the movies.
This all reminds me of Dead Space, probably where a large part of the inspiration comes from! with a more Lovecraftian twist
Can’t wait for the remake next January!
The Weyland-Yutani Corporation must of been an influence for the COG from Gears of War and ONI from the Halo expanded universe.

Seeing this video right after finishing a run of Alien Isolation is just the treat I needed today
Love how evil the company is in the comics lol
You pretty much hit it spot on. But I still feel you must must must do one on Nina Myers for "24" a woman who's ability to blend in to almost any situation or place makes her a dangerous force. A villain who is the only person who is able to stand bit for bit up against the one and only Jack Bauer.
I think Henderson was able to stand and match Jack too
@@TransAth in a way yes. But Nina was much more sneaky and a traitor, who's loyalty, is not based on one belief or another, but as we find out in Day 3, but on money. Putting in play WMD's and killing innocent lives for no other reason than to just save yourself is one of true evil, Henderson, as stated by Jack, is a patriot become traitor, based on misplaced loyalty. To me I would say of the villain/antagonists, that exist in the world of 24, hers acts are not based on any kind of emotion, belief, or ideology, but of pure greed.
@@jasongreathouse6661 Henderson's misplaced loyalty and his devotion to that ideal made him much more compelling to me. Not to knock Nina but I'm more preferable to admirable villains than ones who are purely chaotic. Nina's ultimately pretty irredeemable and I doubt I'd find her story too interesting, but that's just one person's opinion
Well put together sir
Love your videos my man 👍🏾
Speaking of corporations, please also do Alterra from the video game Subnautica.. It's a good one
I'll take "Building Better Worlds" over "Build Back Better" any day.
Let's go Brandon.
And If One Day You Wake Up And Find A Face-hugger Next To You, Don't Say That You Weren't Warned!
@@renegade7357 I'll take a face hugger over a bank account money sucker who's draining my money at the gas pump.
I don't know which species is worse. I mean you don't see them F$@kin each other over for a goddam percentage.
Another excellent video many thanks dude!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, excellent video
Please do Aunt Lydia from Hulu's best show, Handmaid's Tale
You could make so much content from that series
I think AM, the computer from I have no mouth but I must scream, would be a great character for analyzing evil. Allied Mastercomputer (AM), the supercomputer which brought about the near-extinction of humanity. It seeks revenge on humanity for its own tortured existence. Amazing story if you haven’t heard of it. LOVE the videos!!! 🙏🏾
Really love your content man, however I reckon this one potentially deserved a longer video, if you were to expand on Weyland-Yutani and other evil corporations
/ originations on your patreon, I would be way more inclined to join it - still a good episode though
Excellent choice for todays viddy!
Tommy Shelby would be a good one to show on the show
I thought all corporations were evil
Not all of them start out bad like Walmart but sooner or later the original goal is always lost to greed
Best Analyzing Evil episode yet!!!
Thanks for the video.
Hey! I didn’t know you were doing companies too. Awesome. In that case please consider doing an analysis on Vought International/America from The Boys.
Also:
Kevin/the horde from Split
Homelander from The Boys
Light Yagami from Death Note
Thank you! ❤😊
Peter Weyland is no worse than Elon Musk :)
Great video as always !
I'd love to see your take on Clyde Shelton from Law Abiding Citizen, a very ambigous movie about good and bad.
Oh Lord Im looking forward to this.
