I was WRONG about MediEvil 2 (but now I’m right) | Hidden Themes of MediEvil 2 | Analysis

I used to think MediEvil 2 was just a bad sequel, but I was WRONG - there’s SO much more here than I ever realised. I started this video essay as “MediEvil 2 is bad and here’s why” and it became “MediEvil 2 is GOOD, Actually!” And I went to great effort to show how what I found changed my perspective. I discuss the design and development of the game, the plot, address the criticisms of the game, and present a theory as to why the sense of humour in MediEvil 2 is more childish than it was in the first game. There will be a follow-up video where I do an even more in-depth analysis of the implications that historical references in this game have, so subscribe to catch that video soon!
