How far should one go for justice once the system has already failed?
Successful thrillers from the last decade like Drishyam, Kahaani, Maharaja, and Vadh treat justice as finite, usually ending with the villain's life. But there is a recent surge of International and regional films like Argentina’s The Secret in Their Eyes, Gujarat’s Vash, and Malayalam’s Eko that have a far darker look at justice, which unsurprisingly takes their protagonist into much crueler territories.

Instead of asking whether the villain deserves to die, these stories ask a more haunting question: What if living with the punishment is worse than death?

YES I AM STILL ON THIS SHIT!!!!! Last week I dropped act 3 part 1 and now we have theCONCLUSION to the TDH act 3 saga. Currently working on act 4 which will show up eventually. Probably in like a month. So appreciate the 5 weeks of peace and quiet without my blabbering and annoying promotion until then. I envy you all

Can anyone please recommend me some motivational video essays?

Hey r/rockafire! Long-time admirer of the Rock-afire Explosion here. I just dropped a 40-minute video essay on Aaron Fechter that covers everything from the genius of what he built, the ShowBiz fallout, the 2008 revival, all the way through the controversies and the Hydrillium explosion. I tried to be as balanced and fair as possible. Chapter One exists specifically to give him his flowers before anything else. I did months of research, fact-checked everything, and visited Billy Bob's Wonderland in person for the conclusion. Whether you love him, hate him, or it's complicated. I think there's something in here for everyone who cares about this legacy. Would love to hear what the community thinks!

Over the past few months I've been researching the less intense uses of AI. I started looking into it because I'm in an Art Club in my area, and a couple artists admitted they use AI for reference images. Although I'm against any AI use, I wanted to try to take a nuanced look at that and other uses people have told me are "fine". I'm hoping this helps fellow artists realize the harm AI can have, since the information isn't as obvious if you're not online keeping up to date with it.

If you love this show as much as I do, celebrate 5/9 with a deep dive into what the series can teach us about our own world and fight for freedom! Obviously this show gives us so much to think about and this video only scratches the surface, but here are some questions I explore: What strategies does the narrative teach us? What tools does its construction reveal? What is reality? And, more importantly, can it be hacked?

I read over 2400 pages of a Megaman Sprite Comic from the year 2000 that I didn't like, just so I could tell you why Bob and George mattered. Let me know what you think or just enjoy the show!

FINALLY ONTO ACT 3. Part 1 out of 2 for act 3 just because I do not need another 70 minute video on my channel. ANYWAY if you wanna see a dumbass femboy scream into a camera about the lore behind this album (and entire series) and fail at being funny, THEN WATCH MY SHIT (please)

Full series so far here
