i think the finale arc of the adventure zone is literally the most fucking powerful piece of media ever created and here’s why
you know that opening narration in Watchmen where rorshach is all “they’ll look up and scream save us, and i’ll look down and whisper no” and it’s all very gritty and dramatic and uhuhu sheeple
it’s literally the total fucking opposite of that
the apocalypse is bearing down, a hundred billion voices screaming in cacophonous and deafening unison GIVE UP AND DIE, and the entire world shares a glance, and takes a breath, and looks up and says:
No.
And I don’t believe I have ever seen something with such a powerful faith in humanity. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something that describes such an unshakeable connectedness, such an unbreakable will to exist. The apocalypse is happening and people are still fighting.
And I think that especially now, especially in times of such upheaval and uncertainty, and now with the threat of nuclear war looming from the darker corners of our political houses, we need more than ever stories that say what this one does–and I have never seen it more clearly and more beautifully communicated.
It’s not over until you stop fighting.

Controversial opinion but The Adventure Zone, Steven Universe, and Homestuck are all still excellent and made by good people.
Diverse media is held to an impossibly high and ludicrously unfair standard while mediocrity and baiting are continually rewarded.
