okay but seriously guys ANASTASIA. it’s like they shoved all the best romantic tropes into a movie less than two hours long and did it flawlessly I can’t:
the perfectly executed arc from initial dislike –> begrudging respect (“if we live through this, remind me to thank you”) –> inconvenient attraction (“maybe we should stop” / “we have stopped”) –> genuine affection –> realizing you care about the other person so much their happiness is now worth more than your own –> choosing them as your found family
the bickering is top notch with her sticking out her tongue and him not seeing it and “men are babies” and even when they’re hurtling towards death in the loose rail car they’re still sniping at each other these nerds
he shields her with his body when they blow up the train cars, and she shields him with hers when rasputin dies
he doesn’t tell her that he knows she’s the princess because then he’d have to tell her how he knows, and he doesn’t want her to feel like she owes him anything
he doesn’t want the money!!!!
the way her grandma recognizes how much she loves him and makes it clear that there are no hard feelings, that she still has this family even if she decides to pursue her found family
THE SPINNY KISS ON THE BOAT AT THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as someone who’s a very casual watcher viewer (i don’t think i’ve watched any videos in months) as well as being a media major, this situation is so fascinating to me
ghost files costing $50k per episode??? 25 employees??? what do you need a director for to make survival mode? it’s literally just a lets play
seeing people break down their expenses with flight costs, rooming, etc. is really interesting too, i need to ask my professor about this situation, it’s just so wild to me
I'm with yall that what watcher is doing is stupid and a bad business decision, but saying "eat the rich" when it comes to them? like??? "eat the rich" means billionaires who exploit the lower class to become billionaires. It does not mean a few people making youtube videos and earning enough money to live in L.A

you already know how bitter and disappointed I am about this and how I'm simultaneously mentally eating popcorn while scrolling through the sheer chaos and laughing in disbelief but the emphatic part of me that was their fan for like seven years can't help but feel a little bit bad for them (and ryan especially, very likely suffering an ongoing anxiety attack) because in their arrogance and hubris they clearly didn't expect this to ruin their careers that they've arguably worked for very hard but on the other hand, they've made their beds
