Épisode 105 - Trope Talk: Five Man Band

2 août 2017 - 4/5

So! Fun fact, this is actually one of my favorite tropes, because I'm a big ol' dork and I pretty much consume media exclusively for good character dynamics. Five-man bands are one way to make that happen, but any sufficiently large pile of characters can be written to interact in a suitably entertaining/heartwarming/squee-inducing way as to appeal to my Very Refined Tastes In Media (hurriedly shoves Thundercats 2011 under the carpet). Today we break down the structure of a five-man band, examine a few of its more convenient story uses, and overall have a grand ol' time, no Comment Kaiju required! On a related note, I have to hijack my own video description to recommend My Hero Academia to all of you, as it manages to create the kind of beautifully realistic banter and interwoven character dynamics I typically expect from five-man bands, but on the scale of a class of twenty people plus all their teachers plus some students from the other classes too. It's beyond impressive. If you've already seen or read it, tell me who your favorite characters are! Mine are Tsuyu and Kirishima but I'm open to suggestions! (Also, tell Blue to start watching it too.) UNNAMED EXAMPLES USED, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: Legion of Superheroes, Guardians of the Galaxy, Storm Hawks, Teen Titans, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, W.I.T.C.H, Gargoyles, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Wars, Thundercats (2011), Voltron: Legendary Defender, Fairy Tail, Yugioh, Justice League, Firefly, Inuyasha, Order Of The Stick, Wolverine And The X-Men, Ghostbusters, TMNT, Young Justice, Fullmetal Alchemist, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Cowboy Bebop, Legend of Korra, Rurouni Kenshin, Golion PATREON: www.patreon.com/user?u=4664797 MERCH LINKS: Shirts - https://overlysarcasticproducts.threadless.com/designs All the other stuff - http://www.cafepress.com/OverlySarcasticProducts Find us on Twitter @OSPYouTube!

Épisode 118 - Trope Talk: Character Deaths

13 octobre 2017 - 4/5

It's tragic! It's deep! It's a looming threat to your heroes in every dangerous endeavor! And for some reason it's weirdly hard to convince your audience you really MEAN it! One example I didn't think to include in the video is Eren Jeagar from the early episodes of Attack On Titan. Sure, this show hadn't shied away from murdering main-ISH characters, and a lot of the early appeal of the show was how brutal, bleak and desolate the reality of the situation was - but when the ACTUAL PROTAGONIST loses an arm and a leg and gets eaten on his first major mission, the resounding response from the fanbase was "ha, bullshit" and lo and behold, he was one confusing superpower away from being fine again. It kind of took a lot of the stakes away from a show that had gotten BIG on how high those stakes were. At the risk of making the comment section too depressing, comment your favorite well-executed character death and, if you have one, a fakeout death that actually had you convinced! And bro, if you're reading this, YOU'D BETTER CLICK "SHOW LESS" ON THIS DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU SPOIL YOURSELF. EXAMPLES USED, ROUGHLY IN ORDER: InuYasha episode 43, Fairy Tail episode 47, Berserk, assorted X-Men comics, Lazarus pits, Damien Wayne's resurrection, Elektra's resurrection in Netflix's Daredevil, old-school Marvel goodness, Gwen Stacy's clone Joyce Delaney, The Joker, Jean Grey (Phoenix mode), Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Elfquest, old-school DC goodness, Justice League (Hereafter part 1), Doctor Who (Season 8 Episode 5), Destroy All Humans, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh!, The Matrix, Ghost In The Shell, Robocop, Fairy Tail episode 244, [SUPER SECRET EXAMPLE], Rurouni Kenshin, Fullmetal Alchemist (all versions) *** SUPER SECRET EXAMPLE: My Hero Academia manga, chapter 76 *** PATREON: www.patreon.com/user?u=4664797 MERCH LINKS: Shirts - https://overlysarcasticproducts.threadless.com/designs All the other stuff - http://www.cafepress.com/OverlySarcasticProducts Find us on Twitter @OSPYouTube!

Épisode 176 - Trope Talk: My Powers Are Gone!

28 septembre 2018 - 4/5

Bad news, gang. You know how I can normally bench-press a house and turn bullets into confetti with my brain? Well I'm experiencing some technical difficulties and long story short please keep me alive until this gets fixed I have no idea how you all handle being so squishy all the time. I'm a fan of this trope (love me some non-disruptive drama that loops back to a nice comfy status quo at the end), but like all tropes it can be done very badly. What's your favorite and/or LEAST favorite execution of this trope? Sometimes I wonder if the Justice League episode "Hereafter" was a specific counter to the common fan argument that Superman is the only useless member of the League when he loses his powers (Wonder Woman being a highly trained warrior, GL being a marine, etc). He handled himself pretty well stranded powerless on a hostile alienish world for weeks - plus he grew that fantastic beard! EXAMPLES USED: Spider-Man 2, Avatar: The Last Airbender ("The Library", s2e10), Justice League: Unlimited ("Hereafter", s2e10-11), Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes ("Everything Is Wonderful", s1e25), Justice League: Unlimited ("The Once And Future Thing", s1e12), Justice League (s2e3), Superman: The Animated Series ("The Way Of All Flesh", s1e7), Supergirl ("Human For A Day", s1e7), The Flash ("Power Outage", s1e7), Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ("Father", e28), Danny Phantom ("Maternal Instincts", s1e16), Green Lantern: The Animated Series ("Razer's Edge", e3), Teen Titans ("Stranded", s4e8), Inuyasha ("Fateful Night in Togenkyo", e57-58), Inuyasha ("The Mystery of the New Moon and the Black-Haired Inuyasha", e13), Batman Beyond ("Lost Soul", s2e4), Trollhunters ("Claire and Present Danger", s1e12), Thor, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes ("Alone Against AIM", s2e2), Wolverine and the X-Men ("Guardian Angel", e19), Superman: The Animated Series ("Solar Power", s2e11), Uncanny X-Men (issue #379), Justice League ("The Savage Time", s1e24-26) PATREON: www.patreon.com/user?u=4664797 MERCH LINKS: Shirts - https://overlysarcasticproducts.threadless.com/designs All the other stuff - http://www.cafepress.com/OverlySarcasticProducts Find us on Twitter @OSPYouTube!

A concept as old as insert obvious joke here! Today let's talk about how time travel works (or doesn't) and why its stories can be a little… weird sometimes. What's your favorite time plot? Also, which doctor/companion is your fave? (Mine's 10 and Martha deserved better) EXAMPLES USED: Doctor Who (s1e1, An Unearthly Child), Doctor Who (s1e2, The Daleks), Doctor Who (s29e7, 42), The Terminator, Back to the Future, Gravity Falls (s1e9, The Time Traveler's Pig), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (s1e1, Pilot), Justice League (s1e24-26, The Savage Time), Samurai Jack (s1e1, I), Samurai Jack (s5e7, XCVIII), Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Doctor Who (s28e9, Rise of the Cybermen), Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Doctor Who (s31e12, The Pandorica Opens), Assassin's Creed, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Thundercats 2011 (s1e7, Legacy), The Flash (s4e23, We Are The Flash), Justice League (s3e12-13, The Once and Future Thing), Kim Possible: A Sitch In Time, Doctor Who (s30e11, Turn Left), Terminator: Genisys, Doctor Who (s27e8, Father's Day), Doctor Who (s30e2, The Fires of Pompeii), Doctor Who (s29e11-13, Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords), Doctor Who (s27e12-13, Bad Wolf/The Parting Of The Ways), The Flash (s1e23, Fast Enough) Do you know how many of these examples had Will Friedle in a starring role? MORE THAN I EXPECTED. Dude is prolific. Did you know he played Ron Stoppable AND ALSO BATMAN?

Épisode 244 - Trope Talk: Amnesia

20 septembre 2019 - 4/5

Amnesia! The trope too powerful for its own good! It's a favorite of soap operas and anything else that likes quick and easy drama, and when it comes to shuffling around core character traits, amnesia is basically a swiss army knife - need to roll back a week or two of character development? need to revert a character to a clean slate? wanna make one of your lovebirds forget their FIRST KISS? amnesia is the trope for you! and if you're an audience member sick of being emotionally manipulated by writers doing any and all of the above… WELCOME TO THE PARTY What's YOUR favorite amnesia plot - or, if you've got an axe to grind, what's your LEAST favorite instance of the trope? Yell about it in the comments! My favorite example of amnesia done right, which I didn't have time to delve into here, is the season 1 finale/season 2 opener of Transformers Prime, where Optimus Prime sacrifices the Matrix of Leadership to defeat Unicron, and in the process loses all of his memories SINCE HE GAINED THE MATRIX and first BECAME Optimus Prime. He reverts to Orion Pax, a simple pacifist librarian who believes Megatron is still "Megatronus", his best friend and fellow activist. He doesn't know ANY of the autobots, since technically speaking, Megatron IS his oldest friend - so he ends up working with the Decepticons for MULTIPLE EPISODES as the Autobots try and get a working backup copy of the Matrix of Leadership to restore Prime's memories. It's a uniquely fascinating look into the mind of a truly ancient and very battle-hardened being from BEFORE he became the most iconic leader in science fiction - the seeds of the noble paragon he'd become without the weight of worlds on his shoulders. Orion Pax doesn't even BELIEVE he could be a Prime, because he doesn't think he's WORTHY of it. And even without his memory, Orion Pax figures out that Megatron is lying to him and being all evil and stuff, and rebels all on his own without Autobot help (and then gets his ass kicked because Orion Pax has no idea how to fight, oops). It's honestly such a fun arc (and I have to give ENDLESS credit to both the animators and to Prime's voice actor, Peter Cullen, who, exclusively through facial expression and tone of voice, manage to communicate a much younger, much less experienced Prime despite his appearance being totally unchanged. It's so well-done, even before he talks you can tell something's wrong.) EXAMPLES USED (in rough order of first appearance): Transformers Prime (Orion Pax p.1), Death Note, Blindspot, Doctor Who (Utopia), Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Captain Marvel, Batman: The Animated Series (Forgotten), The Iron Giant, Frozen, She-Ra (Remember), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Young Justice (Bereft), Wall-E, Gravity Falls (finale), Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Wreck-It Ralph, Captain America: The Winter Soldier PATREON: https://www.Patreon.com/OSP MERCH LINKS: https://www.redbubble.com/people/OSPYouTube OUR WEBSITE: https://www.OverlySarcasticProductions.com/ Find us on Twitter https://www.Twitter.com/OSPYouTube Find us on Reddit https://www.Reddit.com/r/OSP/

Épisode 339 - History Summarized: South Africa

19 février 2021 - 4/5

In the past few centuries, few corners of the African Continent were quite as busy as the south. It's a winding river from the first migrations and waves of colonists in the Cape Colonies to the Rainbow Nation we know today, so let's dive in and see how it all played out! SOURCES & Further Reading for Black History Month: — "The African Experience From 'Lucy' to Mandela" From the Great Courses Plus, lectures 15-18 "South Africa: The Dutch Cape Colony & The Zulu Kingdom & Frontier and Unification & Diamonds and Gold", 26 "Segregation and Apartheid in South Africa", and 32 "The South African Miracle" — "Born A Crime" by Trevor Noah: https://bookshop.org/books/born-a-crime-stories-from-a-south-african-childhood/9780399588198 — Home Team History is a YouTube channel covering all corners of the African continent.

Épisode 344 - History RE-Summarized: The Age of Augustus

19 mars 2021 - 4/5

Many Romans had conquered the Republic, but nobody could keep it, until Augustus. In the half century after the assassination of Caesar, his adoptive son would fundamentally transform the Roman state: expanding it, reforming it, and bringing it under the control of one man. The Age of Augustus found Rome a Republic and left it an Empire. This video is a Remastered, Definitive Edition of three previous videos from this channel — History Summarized: "Augustus Versus The Assassins", "Augustus Versus Antony", and "How Augustus Made An Empire". This video combines them all into one narrative, fully upgrading all of the visuals and audio. If you want more Histories to be Re-Summarized, please comment and let me know!

Épisode 372 - City Minutes: Britain and Ireland

3 septembre 2021 - 4.5/5

By far, the biggest MVPs of the British Empire were their Architects. So let's take a look at four cities from Britain and Ireland to see how the empire redefined its cities and subsequently set the model for modern urbanism! Look, what I'm trying to say is that they did cool stuff and now they look real nice. FUN TIMES WITH PROBLEMATIC HISTORICAL NOMENCLATURE: The term "British Isles" is strongly contested by Academics in particular and most Irish in general, as it suggests (rather imperially) that Ireland belongs to Britain. I myself am guilty of this usage in the past, I own that mistake, and I'll avoid it in the future. Accordingly, this video is titled "Britain and Ireland" and the video thumbnail bears the simple moniker of "The Isles"... with the added benefit that the single-line formatting makes it fit neatly on top of the horizontal line in St George's cross and it looks beautifully sharp, but that's just my undying commitment to aesthetics in action.

Épisode 400 - History Re-Summarized: Egypt

18 février 2022 - 5/5

I for one was shocked to learn the Egyptians actually buried their kings in a giant Millennium Puzzle. We've covered Egypt on this channel in previous videos, but this History Re-Summarized is the Definitive Edition, redone from the ground up to present the best possible account — starting at the beginning for a full chronology of Ancient Egypt, from the very first Pharaohs the Muslim Conquest. (Observant Egyptologists and D&D players might note the Pyramids are actually D-*Fives*, but technically they're D-*Nines* since each face is actually two right triangles at a slight angle to each other and not a single flat isosceles triangle, so shhh, we can pretend it's a D4.) Sources & Further Reading: "The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt" & "Ancient Egypt: A Very Short Introduction" by Ian Shaw, World History Encyclopedia entries on "Ancient Egypt", "Old Kingdom of Egypt", "First Intermediate Period of Egypt", "Middle Kingdom of Egypt", "Second Intermediate Period of Egypt", "New Kingdom of Egypt" https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/, The Great Courses' lecture series "History of Ancient Egypt" by Bob Brier. Additionally, I have an undergraduate degree in classical studies (re: Persia, Ptolemies and Rome).

Épisode 418 - OSP AFTER DARK! Trope Talk Lightning Round - Red Solo Hour!

24 juin 2022 - 4/5

I'm pronouncing Mycenaean & Mycenae with a hard "K" sound because that's how it sounds in Greek, and I would not be so impolite as to mispronounce the name of the first Greek-speaking civilization in history.

7 juillet 2023 - 5/5

In the river valley where urban society first arose several thousand years ago, my attention naturally focuses in on the moment they started building ginormous stuff. In this video we will learn two things: 1) The great Ziggurat of Ur is one of human civilization's earliest urban masterpieces, and 2) I'm impeccably basic. I am reveling in my architecture era. Special thanks to our discord community member and Levantine Archaeology extraordinaire Jacob Khan for his assistance on the script, helping me find a few key details I missed and setting me straight where my draft had some mis-characterizations and errors. Any remaining error in the video are mine. Again, thank you Jacob! SOURCES “Great Ziggurat of Ur” from “Ancient Art - 30 Masterpieces of the Ancient World” by Diana K.

In which our hero Blue jumps right the hell into one of the most complex topics in religious studies as a "breather video" after his 3-hour Roman megaproject.

?? TWIN PINS!!! The Norse gods Freyr ? and Freyja ? are in our merch shop for a limited time. https://overlysarcastic.shop/ We were excited to make this video – The time between figuring out the thesis, making the slides, and recording it was no more than 30 hours, tops. Countless thanks to the live concert that inspired this video: "Game Over(ture)" performed by Symphony New Hampshire, conducted by Roger Kalia and special guest Austin Wintory. Live music is a joy, and this concert was an all-time delight. *** This Detail Diatribe was (enthusiastically) recorded in-person on one microphone instead of our usual remote-setup. That means we don't have granular control over volume balancing and can't cut out stray sounds like normal. Please pardon the slight difference in volume quality, and if you didn't notice a difference in volume quality then go forth knowing we appreciate you.
