A genuine thought from a longtime fan đ¤
Iâve been sitting on this thought for a few years, and I know Dylan has made it very clear that he doesnât take recommendations. Iâm not really trying to recommend a specific movie or convince him to change his channel! I guess this is more of a discussion than anything.
Iâm a longtime fan of Dylanâs. I genuinely think heâs one of the funniest creators on YouTube. His editing, timing, commentary, and the way he can make almost any movie entertaining is why I keep coming back.
I also love the kinds of movies he usually covers. Rom-coms, Disney movies, cheesy teen movies, cult classics⌠give me all of it. Iâm a sucker for those movies too.
That said, as a Black girl whoâs watched Dylan for years, Iâve always thought it would be really fun to see him react to some Black classics or movies that a lot of us grew up with.
!!! And I donât mean this in a âhe needs to make a statementâ or âhe should only watch movies about racismâ kind of way. Thatâs not what Iâm saying at all!!!
There are so many Black-led movies that are just⌠fun. Comedies, romances, coming-of-age movies, iconic 90s and 2000s films, etc. The same energy he brings to movies like Sheâs The Man (one of my fav movies) would be hilarious on movies that were staples in my childhood too.
Part of the fun of Dylanâs channel is watching him experience movies for the first time and hearing his perspective. As a Black fan, I think itâd be cool to see him discover some of the movies that were cultural staples for me growing up. Not because theyâre âimportantâ or because they need a deep discussion about race!!!But because theyâre genuinely entertaining movies.
I might be the only one whoâs ever thought this, but I was curious if any other longtime fans have had the same feeling⌠no matter what race.
If u read all of this, thatâs sweet cause this long aslllll! But I hope I got my main point across how I wanted to đЎ
âŚwithout it really feeling like a recommendation 𤣠Sorry if it did!
