#all of you that hyper analyze a minecraft roleplay movie are amazing

honestly, me too. not a lot, but I do agree that it would be an easier watch if done episodicly. but I get why the narration is like that. evbo had to respect the small content format of what is considered good minecraft content by youtube, but I'm glad that in pvpciv, he just focuses on telling a good story and not what youtube likes.

and also yes, pvpciv has more tangible stakes, the threats are measurable and more real in world. parkciv is more abstract as a story, but because of that, the abstract theme of an impossible classist society that is controlled by a superior being is more adequate. I saw some people say that parkciv doesn't have a great world building, but not everything needs to be explained. parkciv thrives on the suspension of disbelief and that's is not a problem, is simply a personal preference of how detailed you want the world to be.

and again yes, simulation is the perfect example of an episodic series with a little bit of continuity between each episode. it was not made to be seen as a movie. I wrote in the comments of the post a bit of analysis on simulation!!

chat... I have a confession to make...

I like pvp civilization more than parkour civilization. I FIND IT MORE INTERESTING IM SORRY

parkciv is built like a shonen, pvpvciv is built like a YA distopian novel. I prefer the second one. it's more dark, it's a less mythical story and the characters seem more grounded in reality. so it's a more relatable story.

parkciv has underlying themes of classism, meritocracy and capitalism with a hopeful religious tone. meanwhile in pvpciv, while still having some trait of a classist society that was supposed to be a meritocracy, the trials to level up (or in this case, down) are superable, is a more relatable struggle. the religious theme, instead of being hopeful, is seen more like a curse, so evbo being the literal pvp Jesus is lived like a punishment. we all know what it feels like to be punished by fate, in a way or another, so it's more grounded to earth in some weird way.

so yeah, parkciv is a shonen full of hope, a happy ending story with a beautiful growth and adventures, while pvpciv is a dark distopian coming of age YA novel, with reasonable goals but higher stakes and more of a "all against the protagonist" setting.

thank you for coming to my TED talk
