Wendigoon Thread

[Jex]

Wendigoon’s fear of the sea originates from the ocarina of time water temple and Sunday school biblical flood stories.

I was going to say, I don’t know if I’d be able to get myself to watch a full Wendi video on Delta P, I’ve already seen them and I don’t think his style is that suited to describing what basically amounts to industrial accidents. There’s nothing spooky or supernatural about them, they’re interesting on a physics level for the natural forces involved and kind of in a macabre way, but at that point you might as well embrace the Chinese Liveleak and start describing all the people who get horribly killed in metal rollers or industrial ovens or get caught up in machining. It’s dark, but there’s no intrigue or mystery and at the end of the day it’s just kind of depressing.

That's why I was thinking he might go for the ones like this with a "corporate/government malfeasance" angle. Horrible accident but tastefully described, words only, then greater horror as it turns out to be not (only) human error, but corporate greed or lack of imagination as to what could go wrong.

Wendi already did something similar with the Hisashi Ouchi video ("lol just pour this into the bucket") and more recently, the one about rifle company cronyism skewing testing data with fatal results for the end users.

I wonder if he'll end up in a rabbit hole and cover a couple of the other big diving accidents.

I agree with everything you said. Isaiah didn't spend much time on the background. So despite being a good entry level video with quotes from medical examiners.

I doubt he will go into anything having to do with the ocean, cave diving, or There are other YouTubers who do that very well and are not afraid of the ocean. There are incidents that are just sad that he should not force himself to cover and not do justice. If he can't handle this, then at least he found his limit.

That being said, I do like that it was not shock or photos. That he went into other parts of the accident as well.

Wendi does fear the ocean, so I don't think this is just a potboiler episode. I wonder if he'll end up in a rabbit hole and cover a couple of the other big diving accidents

Wendigoon oceangate video when?

Removing the human error side, he did something similar with the banana wars. It was a tiresome video. A good video but insufferable because of the subject matter and the people who allowed it to happen.

That being said, I do like that it was not shock or photos.

I'm thinking of that time Rob Dyke included it in his top ten worst deaths and included the images.

He also did Hisashi Ouchi for that matter, included that image that turned out not to be him. It was a really shit video in hindsight.

To be honest, I’m not that bothered by a video not really adding anything new to the discourse. I’ve said it before but I love his channel because it’s like having your autistic friend infodump about their special interest. I already know pretty much everything there is to know about the Byford incident, because as mentioned it is sort of “baby’s first gore story” but I still got hyped seeing the notification lol

It's not much of a unique thing considering Wendie did a video about that Japanese guy who got his DNA erased (need to rewatch it).

In the end you can argue all the mystery/horror content, real or fiction, is just morbid curiosity how people die horrifically. Heck that's why there's so much hate towards urbanSpook since he just cuts the bullshit.

cw: crab

"One day, while doing noting particularly out of the ordinary, because of natural laws he was completely powerless to understand or intuit, he was instantly killed in a horrifying way by forces vastly in excess of anything he was ever designed to experience, for no reason, to no ones particular surprise or upset. In this we are more like him than different. "

 

[DagothUr]

Not a bad video actually. I haven't watched much of Wendi for a while but I liked this one.

"Flash-boiled their blood" is not a sentence I imagined I'd hear today.

I was excited, then realized it was just the Byford Dolphin incident. It's really the most boring topic because there's no room for speculation, and there's very little chance of anything new being mentioned. It's just a thing that happened and has no mystery or conspiracy.
He probably did it cause it's easy shit to make. Just watch one of the many other videos covering it and rewrite it.

Oh lord, the latest Creep TV episode is on the infamous "The Painter" series by Urbanspook, the punching bag of the analog horror community.

Oh lord, the latest Creep TV episode is on the infamous "The Painter" series by Urbanspook, the punching bag of the analog horror community.

Expected an insufferable episode, but it was decent enough.

You know, for something hyped up as the  worst analog horror series, it's so boring and forgettable that even now I have trouble recalling even half the murders that took place. Like they say, there's nothing else besides the gore, and if you're not troubled by that then the series has absolutely nothing else to offer you (except maybe hilarity at the absurdity of some of the scenarios).

Really, though, the premise should have just been executed on Twitter or Instagram or something. Somewhere where the focus is on the paintings themselves, the only redeeming quality of this whole thing, with the captions and overarching "story" serving as context / set dressing. Think Trevor Henderson's art. It'd still probably go stale, but in a longer time span, and the whole thing wouldn't have been burdened by the expectations that the term "analog horror" brings nowadays.

That's it. Any other criticism more specific than that is be missing the forest for the trees. Don't understand why people keep talking about it at length when it's shallower than a rain puddle. Must be projection IDK.

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

UrbanSPOOK episode is killing me. Wendi explaining what a perineum is so he didn't have to say 'taint' and then meat's response to the picture from the taint stabbing murder being to say that "I would have drawn a bunch of bloody keyholes. Because it's almost like he was drunk and he kept missing the right hole" and then Wendi has to process that in silence for a full four seconds before he can respond

 

[Godchu]

Uhh looks like Wendigoon's moving up in the world. This will surely end well.

E: Not as bad as I thought. He's been there for years, and only just now got promoted. Still don't trust it though.

E2: also so as to not double post the second trailer for the movie just dropped. They're really jewing it up by giving out early screenings if you buy a poster. Shit doesn't even look that good.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Kinda funny Wendigoon talking for 3 hours about a book is more interesting film than a multi million fan project, though to be fair it's more interesting tha. 99% of films released today.

I'm aware I'm showing my ignorance, but I just don't see the point in a "talent" agency for youtubers. Especially when it involves a bunch of other very popular youtubers, because that just seems like a racket to circlejerk with your friends and arbitrarily select which rando gets to be successful for a cut of their profits.

And if I'm being honest, I didn't see much "talent" in the people he listed. Particularly when it comes to Charlie and some ASMR thot. Hell all Wendi does is research a topic and talk about it. That doesn't take talent, and it's not like he's got a bunch of fancy editing either. So idk who any of these people are to be judging any ones talent.

Idk. Whole thing seems dumb and like a trap designed to sucker in impressionable up and comers by dangling connections to bigger creators in their face. Basically exactly what youtube management agencies have always been. But hey, can never have enough money I suppose.

I assume the main selling points are marketing, cross-pollination between creators, help with merch deals, access to lawyers, and after enough corruption has set in, access to minors, and then again, access to lawyers.

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

I haven't watched the video but usually the main draw of the youtube talent agencies is just helping people get sponsor spots and taking a cut, with anything else, collabs etc, being secondary to the primary goal. I don't think they're necessarily a bad deal though obviously you have to trust who you're working with because it's obviously very easy to end up on the wrong side of the deal if the agency is predatory

 

[Blue Gem Kosher Queen]

Ergo, Wendi doesn't offer you anything different other than you may have a parasocial relationship with the person taking your money away to fund a boy's club.

It was true kiwis, Wendi's has been Mandela Catalogued and will turn into an even bigger safe horror retard.

And so it begins.
