(Spoiler warning for Attack On Titan.)
3:50 It's a hummingbird.
I wish someone like, Joe was my dad. Someone so fun, funny and patient with his loved ones and tries to understand their feelings.
Meanwhile, my dad would bully people around him just to make himself laugh. When he disagreed with someone, he would get bitchy and be so closed minded.
I remember the times he would be calm while driving, I would ask him questions and he would actually answer without being a jerk about it.
Him driving was the best chance to catch him in a good mood.
Joe's kids are so lucky to have a fun dad WITH fun friends.

7:35 They talk about Elliott's solo episode.
LOL!
I love that Joe's dad asks about Elliott's comments last week and I get confirmation it really was a joke. Thank god! I wasn't thinking to the extreme that they weren't friends anymore but I was worried the boys wanted to end the podcast soon and Elliott was the only one wanting to hang on.
Elliott mentions The Valleyfolk on his other podcast and he talked about how he feels bad for the fans that the boys all decided to stop working on content for the channel (and are "just" a podcast now).
So, that's why I took Elliott's sarcastic comment, about the boys being mean to him, to be a clue that they didn't care if there wasn't an episode out that week but Elliott still cared enough to do it alone.
I'm glad to know, I was worried for nothing and was overthinking it.
(This comment from Steve on Twitch this past weekend, troubles me though):
11:28 Saltburn
I want more stories about Yandere main characters.
The person that told Steve that Saltburn isn't artsy but....a mainstream movie, is wrong.
My first guess is Lon Harris.
My second guess is Brett Register.
Because they both usually have unpopular opinions on movies.
I wonder who it actually is 🤔
I feel like Owen wouldn't say that. (And Owen wouldn't care if Steve called him out so why wouldn't Steve just admit it's him. Has to be someone else.)
Owen seems open minded towards movies (base on his conversation with Brett on a Talkin' Banter episode.) So he wouldn't say that Saltburn is "mainstream" and that "moms can enjoy the movie."
Huh?!
If you want to watch Saltburn but don't want to risk spending time watching a long movie you might hate, I recommend watching this man react to it. He shows important moments from the movie that make it easy to understand the story for viewers to follow along, without having to watch the full thing themselves.
This person is really open minded and funny to watch. His energy is fun and it really feels like you are sitting next to him while he commentates on the movie, making you laugh with him.
They go into talking about Star Wars and I never knew it wasn't set in the Milky Way but are in their own galaxy. (I've never seen the movies, just know about them.) That means that Mass Effect and Star Wars can collab in the future if they wanted.
But so far, in Mass Effect, other galaxies don't have other humans. Aliens in the Milky Way and in Andromeda are all different from each other. So, maybe it couldn't work and now...I don't want it. Fuck that idea, it's forced and cheesy.
I wouldn't mind it being cheesy with the Halo series though. It's already pretty corny with Master Chief being a "one man army" and never showing his face or emotion. Star Wars and Halo coming together would fit. I would be excited for The Weapon to do all the talking for Master Chief. I love her.
I usually find quirky characters annoying but her being in the newest game while the past games weren't humorous, it really changes the tone for Halo and it's main character. He's never been this talkative before her and it really made him more interesting to me.
(Plus, I REALLY love AI/robot characters so it was going to be hard for me to hate her.)
28:02 AI making movies.
I get why they don't like it because they have talent to create and don't want to be replaced by AI and I agree, that sucks. It sucks that people can't respect artists and not fucking steal their art and sell it or act like it's theirs.
But if fans are just making it for themselves... like bootleg shirts, posters, wallpaper for their phones/computers...what's the harm though?
If fans can just fucking behave and enjoy their AI created pictures, music and stories offline then why not?
There are characters I love but most of the fandom doesn't and it sucks when I'm looking for content and there is none because it's not popular. That's why I get happy thinking about AI making my ideas real. Creating fanfiction of characters that there aren't fanfiction of. Or fanart of crack ships, different endings or different story paths.
I want to see Attack On Titan's story if Erwin lived instead of Armin.
Come on! You know the show would be exciting because he's more aggressive than Armin. The power was fucking wasted on Armin, he hardly used it 🙄
Erwin might've agreed with Eren's plan and it would've been amazing to see ruthless, badass characters working together.
But if he doesn't agree then Eren would know to plan for that because he would actually feel threatened by Erwin. While Eren never felt that way towards Armin and Mikasa. Even towards Hange.
Plus, Erwin would deal with the outrage from the people better than Hange. She seemed so pathetic.
And Erwin would control his emotions and not tell Annie anything. He would keep her in the dark just in case she could hear him because she's still an enemy. Erwin would be very careful and think of all the possibilities of his actions. Even as small of an action like talking to Annie's frozen body because he has the memories of someone who loved her.
She would be confused as fuck when she gets unfrozen. Instead of knowing everything and pissing me off that she gets to stay cool and collected about finding out what happened to her friends.
I want to see all that shit and no one is making it!
The best I can find is just fans talking about the "what if" of it on Reddit and Youtube video essays, fanfictions of it and a few pictures of it:
But I want to see a fan made animation or comic of it.
So, fuck yeah, I'm excited for AI being able to do that, just to enjoy in private. Not to steal and monetize shit but to nerd out about a series in a way other fans can't or wont make.
I know though, that the boys (and the rest of the art world) isn't thinking about those harmless fans when they talk about how AI is annoying and scary. They are thinking about the fans who WANT to steal and make easy money with AI.
And the evil, greedy companies using AI to not have to pay workers just to make cheap stories.
They then talk about how AI art gives an uncanny valley look but if it's in animation or a cartoony style then it would fit right in with art created by people. Like I mentioned in this blog, there are some ugly ass cartoons out there.
But even cartoons that look weird aren't all ugly, they can look cool and aesthetically pleasing:
But even cool, weird animation can give uncanny valley vibes when compared to pretty animation:
I think AI art would be aesthetically pleasing instead of giving the uncanny valley vibe when it's grouped with weird styled cartoons.
I do love that Steve thinks this way so that I don't feel alone in that opinion.
45:00 Funny bit.
50:50 Funny bit.
Sounds like something Brittany Broski would say.
1:01:50 Annoying "cute" creatures in stories.
I hate that stuff too, Steve.
I hate when anime shows do it. When Disney and Pixar do it. And when some Persona games do it.
