Universities that upload entire lecture series on literature philosophy or history. Yale Courses in particular has some good ones. If you can find genuinely intelligent non-pozzed academics it’s always better than some booktuber pseud half-heartedly chewing on what they read. In general booktubers are awful.
Malcolm Guite is good though, nice chap.
>>
>>25458909
Booktok has spilled over into Youtube (or maybe originated from YT, I dunno) so it's generally as pozzed as the rest

I have gotten useful tips from Critical Drinker and Second Story however

a long time ago, he was first to point out what exactly makes woke stories weak and off-putting
now a lot of people are repeating what he said, but without knowing its origins
probably yourself as well

No he wasn't, Comics Matter with Ya Boi Zack was, or in those days he was Diversity and Comics. Zeroes like the Drinker and Nerdrotic just ripped off his talking points from 2018.

Because Ian is the definition of Manchild-Core. He's /lit/ personified (loves mccarthy, wolfe, "literary" genre slop, reads a few classics now and then every once in a while).
This is the poetry of the man trying to bring us a "literary renaissance."

This is what a life of reading genre slop, browsing /lit/ and smoking weed gets you. Poetry on the level of rupi kaur.

No, I felt Drinker made a clearer case
I especially recommend his video about villains and morality

Yeah no shit he made a clearer case, he had years of content to rip off. He also rips off his own videos, each one is the exact same.

Solar Sands. Does great videos on art theory/aesthetics theory that are digestible and some other random creative stuff that he enjoys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwGKqiOyIAM
>>
>>25459571
I was being kind: the Comics guys only hinted vaguely at the flaws they noted. Drinker presented a complete and cogent answer.
As for his other videos, the vast majority don't interest me. I find them almost tiresome.
>>
>>25459490
Anon, you really need to lurk moar here so that you can get better standards of the media and minds that you engage with. Read more books both fiction and non-fiction, you in particular need to not touch anything written after 1900 for a while. For us literate right wing people, hearing you sing this praise for someone like him is like if dedicated leftists who studied Hegel (though obviously came to the wrong conclusions) had to listen to some Troon talk about how great philosophy tube is.
>>
>>25459601
>only hinted at
You know the word woke because he broke it down to the people you learned it from.
Before you vaguely remembered the guy, suddenly you're an expert on what he talked about eight years ago, I'm so fucking sure.
>>
>>25459605
You're projecting hard and your opinions are coloured by your hate for that guy.
If you could post a good 2010s analysis of why woke movies such as Last Jedi and Captain Marvel are so bad from a storytelling perspective, I'd like to see who else you nominate as a great critic of that time.
>>
>>25459155
second carefree wandering and cck and i'll add theory underground. you should just read tho

Yeah, it's not like this word has any meaning outside of movies and fiction

>this is your idea of how a “great critic” spends their time
You’re proving my point even more here. I don’t consider those films to be worth analysis because I continued intellectually and emotionally developing after the age of 15.
I can recommend contemporary intellectual reactionary theorists like Deneen, but I think it might be a bit over your head at this point. Given that you talk about YouTube “critics” like they’re significant thinkers
I’m not sure if I’ll reply to you again because I think you’re either underage or a newfag (or maybe one of the people who inhabit the genre fic general), but I reiterate that it’s not healthy to fill your head with manchildren picking apart poorly made movies for 9 year olds when you could be doing almost anything else
>>
>>25459641
huh?

>>25459688
Exactly, like a monkey looking at a monolith. I expect that’s at least a broad enough reference for you to understand.
>>
>>25459474
>Because Ian is the definition of Manchild-Core
thats quite harsh anon. sure you can make an argument that he is sometimes too fixated on authors /lit/ would describe as such, but i think he more than often talks and reads about classics and more nuanced works of literature.
>This is the poetry of the man trying to bring us a "literary renaissance."
i cant really tell you anything about his poetry as im not that well-read on it in general and i didnt even now he writes poetry. is this from his substack? but as for the "literary renaissance." aspect, woudnt his approach of a mix of serious and less serious works be the perfect approach to reach people from all walks of life?

Feral Historian
>>
Jackson Crawford and Graham Scheper are good for philology, especially the longer videos where they bring on guests. Adrian Goldsworthy regularly posts long talks about ancient history, mostly from the military side. You can find good lectures and full courses on the channels of universities and research centers as >>25458952 says. Youtube throws booktube videos into my recs but I've never found them worthwhile, maybe with the exception of the channels run by editors.

I like bookpilled. He’s so well-spoken. I think partly because he reads so much. That hypothesis is one reason why I started reading books again, but not what he recommended though. Scifi books are garbage.
