Lol she is hilarious.
I think it was a fantastic video. Yes it was extremely long, but like someone else said it was broken up into 20 parts, so I could watch it over several days. It was great to be able to see what the experience of Galactic Star Cruiser was really like, now that we cannot experience it for ourselves.
While you are not wrong, that is kind of her thing long form video essays. So I'm socked people are surprised by the length. But I guess not many people on this side of the internet knows her.
YouTube has a feature where it will remember where you were up to on a video if you stop watching before the end.
I used this feature to watch this video over several days. When I felt like I'd watched enough for one sitting, I stopped watching, then later I started watching again from where I left off.
Yes. I'm being facetious.
The big critical piece mentioned is just some marketing fluff without any receipts or analysis. Calling the hotel “a 48-hour movie that passengers were actually a part of” ignores the entire video. “Every part was designed for enthusiastic interaction” ignores valid criticism of most of the building. I’m not really sure that it really “was proven that the price was indeed worth it” given that the only evidence was TripAdvisor scores, only one of many forums for such ratings. The rest is just strawman bullshit.
It's lazy PR leftover from their initial prep of what consumers would take issue with, re-released using a sock puppet working-class Disney employee pleading for sympathy.
I’ve been wanting to watch it, but 4 hours seems a bit… overkill. Is there really 4 hours of unique content or does it become repetitive or overly granular?
In general, I'd call it roughly 4 hours of unique content. Many themes are repeated, and perhaps some parts are longer than they need to be, but I loved every second of it because it's always either clever, funny, or interesting the whole way through. It's also broken out into like 20 parts, so there's stopping points roughly every 15 minutes, and thus doesn't feel too daunting to get through (at least to me)
It is granular, yes. But it is presented in a very orderly fashion full of perspective and done in a really entertaining manner! I hardly felt the time passing until my stomach growled xD
I watched it at 2x speed, so it cut it down to 2, which is much more reasonable. The pace of the video is fairly slow, so 2x speed is perfect for it. I do think the video is worth the watch though. 4h? Idk. Definitely 2 though.
It is worth it. I was also skeptical, though if you play it on shorter 30' sessions, feels like an opinionated documentary. There are slow parts though by the end, but I'm still glad I checked and the author is an authority in theme parks.
It doesn't feel repetitive, no.
She's goes into great depth and her conclusions near the end don't really land without the context of the full video. I watched it at 1.5x speed and missed nothing.
For me, I clicked on it to see what it was about. I have never watched one of her videos before. I enjoyed the 30 minutes I watched but then I saw how long it was still to go and noped out. I'm sure it's still good but I don't have time for that.
