Reanalyzing iCarly from a new perspective
🕑 Added 2023-12-04 03:51:46 +0000 UTCDisclaimer: Do not leave commented on the greyed out portions, especially if it's just minor irrelevant typos. The grey sections mean I've already recorded all that.
So I'm posting this same script again because I'm 90% done with a new section and I wanted to get some eyes on it. This is the part most people are going to be excited to hear me discuss iCarly from this one angle I didn't really tackle in the first two videos.
I'm feeling a little uneasy about this one, and again it all comes down to this final 10%. I've attempted to tackle here a lot of the poorly aged themes known to the series, and now I feel like I'm just missing something that I can't bring my mind to. Something to wrap it all up so we can move on to the next segment of the book.
I basically want to know if everyone likes this analysis and if they think what I have here is basically "good enough." I don't want to linger here and rant for the sake of ranting. When I say "This thing is bad," sometimes I feel like that should be enough. But I do worry that stuff like Sam's eating disorder is a very short passage... While I also don't have anything else to add. Same for the bit about Freddy's Mom. You know what I mean?
But, anyways. This is the part of the video where I review the pagent episode, since a lot of people are still wondering why I skipped that first time through! Enjoy, please leave good vibes.

I just thought I’d mention in case you were unaware, but Jennette started her own podcast a month or so ago called ‘hard feelings’. She opens up about a lot of things, including her struggles and traumas with being associated with Sam. (specifically in the first episode ‘shame’). It might be redundant since shes covered it already, but it’s interesting to hear her thoughts from a post-book perspective. Theres also a great quote from Jennette; “when is it going to be enough for you to get past Sam?”. Its worth a listen if you haven’t checked it out, and I think it’d be worth plugging alongside the book itself. I cant wait to watch the final product, incredible work as always!

Atleast in my opinion.

I think the missing element here is a discussion of Dan Schneider in more depth. The objective facts of what iCarly includes are only so damning. It's the fact that they were the product of that guy that makes everything click into place that iCarly is a little bit evil.
