[Episode] Why is Fast & Furious so Popular in China
🕑 Added 2023-06-29 14:33:31 +0000 UTCWe did it, everyone. We made the video about capitalism.
This is a question I wondered about for a long time. What's in Fast & Furious that made the franchise so successful in China? Is it because everyone's muscle reminds people of Arnold? Is it because it's the most stereotypical American cars and guns movie?
But then, my friends told me their reason, and it doesn't come from within the movie.

This is a wonderful video. This is one of those channels where every time I watch a new video I think 'this might be the best one.' The 'push/pull' concept is so interesting-- as somebody with ADHD it takes a lot for me to engage in 'pull' media. I usually talk about it in terms of certain media having a 'high barrier to entry', but I like the push/pull metaphor better. Like if a game has an hour-long cutscene in the beginning, or if it has a ton of tutorials-- even if I want to play it badly, and I know I will love it, sometimes I just curl up in bed and play with coloring book apps and rhythm games because they are much 'push'ier to play in the hours of downtime I have before I fall asleep. The push/pull thing also explains succinctly why I prefer audiobooks to written books. I can listen to an audiobook while working and doing housework whereas a book I have to sit down with and devote time to. Thank you for making these videos : )
