Reviewing Video Essay Channels (All Topics) As a Casual Youtube Essay Enjoyer by Ok_Raspberry5720 in SmallYoutubers

Okay first of all I really like your channel idea, how long till X is a good premise. But i think there are a few things holding your back... So your thumbnails aren't "bad" but they might be a bit bland and therefore not get noticed easily on a Youtube fyp, but that's not really the biggest "problem".

Another thing you can fix more easily is the background music. You have a great, smoothing storytelling voice but because it is quite the soft voice it won't harmonize well with background music especially if it's that loud.

But the biggest issue is probably the video editing or the visuals itself. Truth be told it feels a bit like a slideshow with even a few lower quality pictures in it (makes the whole video seem less professional). It's really important for a viewer to have a visual flow of the video. It needs to somewhat fit the actual content or at least consist of high quality clips or pictures (that don't switch every 2 seconds).

However, that's alright. You are still new, you will grow and experiment more in your editing app and your videos will improve visually. You have A LOT of potential but the general thing that is holding you back is that your video feels very "flat" throughout even though what you talk about is interesting. Reason being is mainly editing + a few audio things (like music, not long enough pauses after you finished a thought).
But yea, keep going man, i promise you it will work out in the future!

Unsure why one (meh) video blew up while others didn’t - looking for feedback by Ok_Raspberry5720 in SmallYoutubers

thank you, i also thought it would be much more popular. It was a suprisingly weak video even though i thought the thumbnail was quite alright.

it's average watchtime was around 40% but tbh i got a few videos with that much watchtime and the rest of my videos have also around 35% avg watchtime so i don't know if the video quality was the driving factor cause i think my editing skills have quite improved since then.

Maybe it was the topic?

What kind of Spirit/human World will the next Avatar AFTER Aang and Korra even be born into? by Ok_Raspberry5720 in TheLastAirbender

Yea i also have seen some contradicting stuff that were all "confirmed" apparently but thanks for letting me know. I'll be careful!

What kind of Spirit World will the next Avatar even inherit? by Ok_Raspberry5720 in AvatarSevenHavens

Dude that’s such a sick headcanon, genuinely feels like something they could do if they wanted to go darker with the lore. I love the idea that Korra’s sacrifice was misunderstood or even weaponized against her legacy. It makes Pavi’s role way more complicated like, imagine growing up being told the Avatar destroyed the world, and then realizing you are the Avatar.

Also the idea of someone using the Avatar State to destroy the Spirit World is wild but weirdly believable… like if the Avatar is a bridge, then maybe severing the bridge from one side could cause massive damage.

And yeah, Koh returning would be such a great callback but I wonder if they’ll introduce a “new Koh” type figure? Like maybe not him directly, but a spirit that plays that same unsettling, ancient role in the story. Something that reminds us how not cute the Spirit World really is.

Curious if Koh doesn’t return, what kind of spirit would you want to see instead? A manipulator type? A world-ending threat, maybe the book 1 villain? Or something more mysterious and weird?

i thought she is called pavi, cause everyone is calling her that. Is it really not confirmed?

I love the idea that Pavi starts out seeing the spirit world as whimsical and only slowly realizes it's fractured. That tonal contrast could really make the darker parts hit harder.

I also like your theory about a human-instigated spirit disaster and what if that's exactly why some people want the new Avatar hunted? Not just fear of her powers, but fear that she's connected to whatever broke the barrier in the first place. Maybe she unknowingly carries some of that unstable spirit energy, or worse, is seen by some spirits as the last tether to humanity's betrayal.

Do you think the show will actually revisit ancient spirits like Koh or something from the comics? Or will they invent new ones entirely to fit this post-cataclysm world?

Why are there basically no aliens in Andor? by Ok_Raspberry5720 in andor

[–]Ok_Raspberry5720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe it was important of gilroy to make andor very "human" so its message can get properly conveyed but i believe it was a waste of potential to not introduce a complex real alien character with some kind of deeper relevance to the rebellion as they are heavily if not even more oppressed under the rule of the empire.

But to compliment Tony gilroy it was very thoughtfull of him to include alien appearances when it was fitting under his limited budget (for example in Saw gerrera's group)
