The greatest video essay ever made, Jessie and Aranock’s “Decaying Monomyth of Star Wars,” includes the claim that the prequels have “unnecessary usage of CGI.” Their own video has, by Aranock’s count, 17 minutes of animation.

That’s part of why I’m curious about Chris Stuckmann’s “Shelby Oaks.” He was one of the loudest RLM copycats ten years ago, but has since mellowed out quite a bit and softened up on the prequels in particular.

So I’ll be interested to see if there’s a correlation between a YouTuber-turned-filmmaker gaining some more humility and actually making a good movie.
