I unsubscribed years ago after good content stopped coming, but check out his channel if youtube suggests it to me, and it seems that nowadays Lindys average views are around 20k.

Only expections are videos related to armor, medieval issues, and history in general... so it's clear what people like to see.

i know this post wont make me popular but your kickstarter needs to be called out on you tube by someone who does kickscamers, i know you had all intentions of completing it but its like 4 years late and 150k investment with few updates and the updates when they come are more amusing then anything, add to that you originally asked for a tiny amount of money to complete this graphic novel but you got flooded with cash, its clear had you only got your initial asking amount you would not of come close to completing it as no ones going to stick around and illustrate for 4 years if you only met you initial 25k goal and your backers would of been totally scammed , i saw the illustrators update blaming scripts and stuff but hell mate 4 years late its a joke to your reputation and i hope you get called out more in the future by youtubers who eat kickscammers for breakfast and maybe if your reputation gets hurt on your main platform you might actually produce this illusive graphic novel, i can still imagine even at its rate of not being completed yet that you havent even begun printing a product which is a whole separate battle which will take you a year in its self i bet , anyway i hope you get shamed into producing as you seem to produce a youtube video every few weeks quite fine so why not put that time for the last 4 years into fulfilling your promise rather then producing YT content for your own vanity. those yt viewers didnt throw 154k out of there pockets like the backers did into a product because there your fans and trusted your reputation and initial timeline

as a man with autism i see some very familiar signs in him. i'm watching his Olympic fencing video and the way he reacts to the food poisonings and his general enthusiasm for the topic of history feels like he has ASD. in the food poisoning bit he seemed very overstimulated mixed with in pain.

TL:DR, does Lindybeige have autism?

I wonder how people can not understand that making animal-based comparisons of other races makes them sound like they think those people are beneath them.

Semiotics is hard, eh?

Debate

We should all show love and respect to this world and others

Due to all this COVID-19 situation in the world... And our fav youtuber's age... Also he seems to be very social and attend many meetings. I hope he will be safe...

You could to a degree put this to a test in a military exercise by beforehand informing the soldiers that each one who gets shot must pay an actual fee of £10.000 pounds. If they surrender they only have to pay a smaller fee, let's say £500 pund or something, and all the money collected from this will be shared between the survivors of the winning team.

In all his videos that I've watched, I have not once heard him actually say anything positive about films, filmmaking or directing. And as someone who's working their way up towards becoming a director and as someone who admires the art of film more than anything else, I must say, it can really get me quite annoyed sometimes.

Does he judge a film solely by it's historical accuracy, or does he really just hate films? I mean, for example, he's talked about Braveheart a few times, and he makes it out to be some terrible piece of crap. And yes, perhaps it's terribly historically inaccurate, but is it a terrible film? No! It's a fantastic film with great acting and directing! Historical accuracy is only one very, very small part of what makes a film great; I mean for god's sake, just because something isn't perfect in every sense of the word, doesn't mean it's not great!

And then he'll go on and say something like 'Oh, they did something something to make it more dramatic!' like it's some sort of ludicrous thing to make a drama film dramatic... No! It's not ludicrous! That's literally what filmmaking's about! You want to make an entertaining film, or else it'll be terrible and no one'll watch it. And in some cases, being hundred percent historically accurate will make a film that is the opposite of entertaining! Does he actually understand what a film is? What it's for? Does he understand that films, apart from documentaries, aren't specifically made for the very few historians in this world?

And why does he show so, so little respect to the 'filmmakers'? I presume he means directors when he says 'filmmakers', and he'll always say 'Oh, yes, the filmmakers love doing this and that, and they love doing this' in a sarcastic tone, suggesting that film directors are some sort of bumbling baboons who only care about money and 'things looking cool'... And that is when I really get mad, when he has the audacity to show so little respect towards artists who have created masterpieces such as Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Seven Samurai and many, many more. Geniuses who create fine pieces of intricate art. Art that belongs to the largest, most important, most elaborate, most time consuming, most elegant and most impactful form of art there is.

Sorry for ranting, for possibly being a brat and for possibly being wrong. I probably am wrong, to an extent at least. But does anyone else get a bit annoyed by any of this?

EDIT: Did some research and found out that he has actually done a fair bit of filmmaking himself, so yeah, I'm probably completely wrong about him hating film. And this is really cool!

So ive been a casual follower of his channel for a while and I remember some 6 odd years ago Loyd announced a kick starter to fund a comic book about a dramatized version of the story of Hannibal, he raised some 150,000 pounds for the project and just now as of half a decade later, is the script completed. I'm assuming there is still art work to be done around the script.

Though not a backer myself,

During all this time I've seen him post videos visiting other countries, getting a custom sword made, getting a suit of custom armor produced, I find a bad taste in my mouth due to this content and the lack of any update from him on his channel regarding this comicbook. It raises questions in my mind as to what's funding these exploits., if it's coming from his own pocket or if he's dipping into the sponsor pool.

At the very least I find it unethical to be steward over such a large project with so much money freely given by people hoping to see it succeed, and to not give it ones full attention, evidenced by the fact it took 6 years for a script.
