I enjoy the artistry, presentation and deeper messages and meanings of your videos, they are thoughtful and meaningful works of art to my mind in many cases. One thing however lately comes into my mind and I wonder if you are somehow not giving the word, or concept, of 'hero' its due. We actually do need heroes, and I believe we will all have to be heroic at some point in our own lives, even if the 'battles' we fight are internal ones, or simply require that we overcome fear by some nobler instinct that we allow to rise up in place of fear, for instance bravery or selflessness. These are virtues, and the end result can be heroism. War and combat can produce heroes, but it is not the only circumstance. Even in our overly-comfortable safe and mostly free lives, we still need heroes. I just watched a news story showing a video in which a neighborhood shouted to armed police officers to leave a young black man alone, because it as if they were going to have a potentially deadly interaction with him. But this was just a young man, one of their own neighbors, who was not posing any threat to anyone. The older woman who went to stand by the young man, even as the officers had their shotguns drawn, was a hero. It was a courageous act and is exactly what we are all called to do whenever the banality of evil shows itself. Do not throw out the baby (heroism) with the bathwater (the unredeemable horror of war). Heroism does not 'lie'. Sometime heroism is the only demonstration of truth in a sea of lies.

Hi Tom ! I haven't been able to check the orignal before you suppress it, could it be possible for us to watch it without nebula ?

Hey, unfortunately no, but to be honest; it's really just a few seconds of gory images that have been replaced with less gory ones. I wouldn't say it affects the overall video in a significant way (if it would have, I wouldn't have made the change)
