Greta Thunberg Is Absolutely Remarkable. #SomeThis Redux

Hi. Welcome to the first installment of "Some This", our upcoming ongoing parody video series, delivering you even MORE this than you thought possible!

This is better for sure but I don't know, it's still not landing with me. But that's just me. It still feels more like it's mocking her than it is the system

The end slate is definitely better, graphics are better, I like the addition of the "quote" but I have to agree it still comes across as dismissive of what she does. Maybe it just doesn't land right when it's text on screen vs being read by a crazed bearded man?

Even the original didn’t strike me as derisive, but it does seem like this particular commentary might require more fleshing out than a minute-long video can accommodate. It still made me laugh though, and I still think you’re all very cool and smart.

I have to agree while this is better it still isn't quite clear initially that you aren't making fun of Greta. With this kind of parody that needs to be super clear, the first attempt I feel could have seen picked up by conservatives as hilarious, this one less so but still not far off. Honestly if you're making fun of Now This I think it's better to fill in some weird The Onion-esque nonsensical stuff rather than having people laugh at her speeches. That sounds too much like making fun of what she's trying to do. The message is not clear even with that last slide. In my opinion the stand up thing is better with the Obama quote but you need to right away point out that people aren't listening to her and that's the message. Otherwise it just seems like you're mocking her until the end, which is not a great look.

I think because I am not a huge Greta fan, that this sits well with me. Nothing worse than a kid who seems to understand nothing about colonisation telling people (like she did in my country) to get back to the land and plant gardens etc. Cool, the land was stolen and we have no access to it. Blah blah blah.

Agreed with the rest of these comments. The increased screen-time for the assholes that are ignoring her message makes the target clearer, but again it's not as clear as it could be.

This version is better, but I am just not feeling connected to it. It might just be me.
