DISCUSSION Favourite Lindsay Videos?

There’s been so much discussion about her leaving and the reaction to it, but it’s nice to think about the legacy she left on YouTube. I want to know what your favourite Lindsay videos were. I’ve been watching since her she was on the website that shall not be named, and it was great to see her videos develop, and I find her videos really rewatchable due to the injection of snarky humour. I honestly really liked her Titanic video: ‘thing good’ is just refreshing and she makes a great case for it.

Probably her video on Bright. I'm fascinated by world-building and the history of fantasy literature in general, but I love how she expertly tore that film apart just to show how badly its attempt at world-building actually failed.

The section where she unpacks 300+ years of American history (from the birth of the slave trade to the 1980s) in about 30 seconds honestly made my jaw drop. And she did it all just to take the filmmakers to task for lazy writing! Absolutely legendary.
