So, this video was originally going to come out last month. Â But then my laptop decided to turn into a brick the evening I was planning on uploading it to Youtube. Â After the hassle of buying a new laptop and recovering all my old files, though, we finally have the video to share with you all. Â So tune in as, in this video, Daniel complains about how the mentor is used in fiction and Josiah tries to explain to him why the mentor figure doesn’t always have to be a poorly-written character in fiction.

THAT’S NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS! This was great. xD Even if there were some spoilers. 😛 Keep it up, guys!
Haha, thanks Sarah!
I agree with Sarah, that was great. 😀 And thanks for pointing out what parts of the mentor archetype are necessary, Josiah. I would have agreed with Daniel on first impulse and said just chuck the whole thing, but now I see some pieces of it are inevitable, though I don’t necessarily think a hero always has to have a mentor figure. There are other ways to learn things. Libraries, for instance. 😉 The Library of All Things Swordsmanship and Secrecy. The Force for Dummies. Complete Works on DragonRiding. 😀 The possibilities are endless.
Great video, guys. The intro made me laugh so hard.
Great ideas on alternate suggestions to the mentor figure! Hadn’t thought about that as much before, but I definitely agree.
Yes, our current plan is to try out more of those kinds of intros for our future videos. 🙂
Aren’t laptops annoying things?!? I managed to drop mine, *stupid me* and now it is not working too well, and I have a competition that ends in September and I’m in no way ready. *PANIC*
However, great movie. Like Kate, laughed really hard at the start. 🙂 I always learn so much from your movies. Keep it up Josiah and Daniel. 😉
Oh no! Yeah, laptops can be a bit annoying in cases like that. =p Thanks!
(Just thought I’d let you know, my laptop is back up and running. It must have been because I used it right after I’d dropped it)
Awesome! Glad to hear that. 🙂
“Sexism and oldism” ha ha. 🙂
Heh; yep. Most of my favorite lines in these videos tend to be the ones that Daniel improvs while shooting the video. 😉
For the record, GANDALF CAME BACK!!!! I’m done now. I need to finish the video.
Haha–true. Definitely some subversion of the trope there. 😉
