Shut up and take my money

Would love to see if a new ACOK abridged stream is anytime soon!

The Brando

Love this guy! Maybe check out all the mad max movies after this and do something similar?

I've been obsessed with these movies for years and the attention you're giving it is validating my psychosis. I insist that you also watch the 2001 Tim Burton Mark Wahlberg version because it is somehow worse than the 70s movies and that is incredible.

Alt Shift X

Yeah the 2001 Burton movie is a weird one for sure.. In some ways it's the most faithful adaptation of the book, but it's also a total mess at the same time.

I always approve of more apes

this was great! honestly super interesting hearing the books interpretation, i feel like most people will not have thought analytically about planet of the apes ever ( including myself) so very fun. also crazy this came out the same year as dune! the parallels are sick.

Thinking about your comments about Martin's relationship to his writing, context, and the lives of authors... I agree he's not like Herbert who seems to almost be engaging in polemics with Dune, but I do think Martin is still reacting to the historic and culture context of his time. I think ASOIAF can be read as a text about the anxiety of a 20th century American man confronting the millennium, I.e the rearranged geopolitical order after the collapse of Cold War, rise of mass communication, change in understanding of identity, and rapid technological advancement.

Just one little observation, when you talk in the video about Zira and Ulysee. I know what you mean about the 'weird' power dynamics of Zira walking him naked on a leash... but maybe you can tweak it a bit to make it more sexuality positive, because some people enjoy those dynamics in the private homes and as long as there is consent between adults we shouldn't shame them by calling those dynamics weird. Yet again just my weird opinion. Love the video can't wait to come out

Lilli Sanchez

One way to make it Bold but still respectful: In public Zira walks Ulysee naked on a leash, a scene that reads with a definite erotic undertone. The book explores dominance, control, and attraction in ways that are more sexually suggestive than one might expect from classic sci-fi.

Lilli Sanchez

Or: When Zira walks Ulysee naked on a leash like an animal, it hints at power dynamics and intimacy that give the book a kind of low-key, unexpected kinkiness.

Something I've always wondered, you say "we" often when referring to Alt Shift X, but from what I can tell you are mostly writing the scripts, editing the videos, and speaking as the face of Alt Shift X. Is the "we" like a generous statement for when other collaborators come in on certain projects or are there other 'full time' as it were, members of the Alt Shift X team?

Alt Shift X

Thanks Lilli! I hear what you're saying. It's not my intention to stigmatise kink. I guess when I say 'weird', I don't mean 'bad'. (It seems to me that kink is inherently transgressive, inherently 'weird', and that's part of the appeal. But, of course, 'weird' doesn't imply 'immoral'.) I think in this specific context, when we're talking about a chimpanzee taking a naked human for a walk, with sexual undertones, it's fair to call that 'weird'. But I appreciate the feedback, and I'll be mindful not to say this in a way that carries stigma or shame.

Alt Shift X

Sometimes it's a "royal we". Sometimes it refers to a team. I think of Alt Shift X as a YouTube channel, not a person -- it's about the stories, not about me -- and I like to be vague and mysterious about the people behind the channel :)

Lilli Sanchez

You ate so kind to answer me, as I said I know what you mean 🥰 and you always have the best intention

the world needs glazor ahai and the shwift that was promised
