One Villainous Scene: Bionicle - "I'm Listening"

I wanted to jump in on Nando v Movies' "One Villainous Scene" video essay supercollab with a scene and character I grew up loving and relating to. Also, while a few days late, happy #810NICLE day! Twenty years is a long time, and my love for the franchise hasn't ever subsided.

I know this vid is a little scuffed--It's semi-scripted because I couldn't commit to a proper script, and that comes through. I'm also a VERY novice video editor, so that's a little rough around the edges. But I wanted to jump in on it, so I did.

EDIT: Holy shit guys, 10,000 views. This exponentially more attention than I ever expected to get on a video I haphazardly threw together in twoish hours. Thank you for the views, likes, and comments. Considering the attention this received (many thanks to Nando v Movies for the platforming opportunity) I think I'll make more video essay content soonish, when work allows. I'll mix and match doing new stuff with adapting my Medium essay articles into video essay format. Thank you again for the attention and love!

If you want short stories, the odd poem, or more coherent essays and analyses of texts and media, check out my Medium profile here. A bunch of new stories will be going up on it in the coming weeks.

I stream on Twitch a couple times a week too, if you want to hang out. My recent videos are stream excerpts.
