Snowflake challenge '26 #6 (Top-ten list)

[community profile] snowflake_challenge: Top-ten list: "The category(ies) you choose are up to you."

I'd like to share my top ten personal favorite YouTube channels overall. In countdown order, more and more awesome as we go:

#10. [youtube.com profile] DominicNoble : Compares a book to its media adaptations(s): what's the same, what's different, and does it work?

#9. [youtube.com profile] CinemaWins : Points out all the most awesome, fan-loved points of a given movie. No shade here, only joy.

#8. [youtube.com profile] RobWords : Explores, exposes, and revels in a cool aspect of or historical tidbit about the English language.

#7. [youtube.com profile] QuestWithAaron : Deep-dives revealing Japanese nuances of The Legend of Zelda lost in English localizations.

#6. [youtube.com profile] ScreenCrush : Recaps, analyzes, predicts, celebrates, or laments fannish movies and television.

#5. [youtube.com profile] TechnologyConnections : Explains how everyday machines, from lightswitches to dishwashers, really work and why.

#4. [youtube.com profile] QuinBoBin : Jokes at his own expense through precisely-edited video-game playthrough abridgements (often, but not only, TLOZ).

#3. [youtube.com profile] MandJTV / [youtube.com profile] MandJTVExtra / [youtube.com profile] MandJTVPlays : "Plays" serves Pokemon playthroughs as fanfic, where the player is an original character living the game, part script and part improv. "Main" is Pokemon game analysis. "Extra" is miscellaneous other Pokemon fun.

#2. [youtube.com profile] Zeltik : Sleek, classic-style mini-documentaries and video essays on the lore of The Legend of Zelda.

#1. [youtube.com profile] OverlySarcasticProductions : More cheeky than actually sarcastic, romps through summaries and analyses of history, literature, mythology, media, and culture, demonstrating how fun learning really is.
