Okay, the thread I wanted to post in got locked while I was posting so I have to rewrite the entire thing again, argh!
Anyway, here goes *clears throat and drags a soapbox in from somewhere*
Definitely an improvement on the first one, but looks like more of the same still - it looks more like "Part 1 v2.0" than "Part 2" to me. Also not sure where the announcement about looking into "subversions" lost its memo.
Still, a better video, and if this one was the "first"; I think it would have gone over more smoothly. Oh sure, there'd still be the same amount of that mindless "She should die in a fire" junk, but I think there'd be less people saying "Yaknow, she shouldn't have uses just two gaming franchises to make her points and then expected it'd go over smoothly." At least I was saying that last time, and will not be faulting her on that this time. See, one of my peeves with the last one resolved!
A personal peeve, however. "The dark and edgy cocktail of tropes we have discussed in this episode...". I did not see any actual discussion of any cocktails, tropes, or, for that matter, discussion of anything else in this episode. One person doing a presentation for half an hour is simply not a "discussion". "We" implies plural, and "discussion" implies some level of interaction between different speakers. Unless she meant she speaks for someone, then we have plural, but I have no clue what she meant, just what she said and it simply rubs me the wrong way.
Now, an actual discussion? Her discussing this with someone else? More work and organization needed, I suppose, but we'd have an actual discussion to watch. That'd have been interesting.
My first thought after seeing this, though. "Yeah, well, this should have been the first episode."
*the soapbox has collapsed somewhere around "personal peeve", so now has to deal with all those obnoxious splinters. Ugh, nasty things*
PS: Seems to have been taken down from Youtube, OP.
PPS: The DiD plot device is still overused and should be a dead horse trope by now.
