@roz said in Awesome Youtubers and Videos?:

I really enjoy Lindsay Ellis's pop culture stuff.

I just finished watching her The Hobbit duality trilogy and I thought she was a good, solid writer to begin with, but by the end I was agreeing with the core thesis of the hour and a half documentary that she made: Once you know, you can't go back.

I'm learning far more about writing from her videos than I have in podcasts about writing because she is writing about concrete examples, and her style, tone, and structure make it almost entirely approachable to a layman like myself. (Some is a bit advanced film theory, but eh, I can learn through repeated exposure.)

I am also incredibly glad that I watched her breakdown of Bright which was a mix of writing theory and history of the film itself.
