Scarecrow Tribute

Here is my tribute for the Master of Fear himself: Jonathan Crane aka the Scarecrow! While this is by far the hardest video I have ever had to make so far, it was really fun to pay tribute to Crane and I hope you enjoy.

So while I love Scarecrow a lot, I've never been able to call him one of my all time favorite villains. Don't get me wrong, I do think he's an awesome villain. The main problem I have with him is that I've never found Crane to really be that compelling as an actual character. Most of the time he shows up, he just seems like a sadistic bastard who loves to spray people with fear gas and laugh about it. I do like it when they explain that he's doing it to study the psychological effects of fear on people but even that motivation is getting stale to me. And no, I don't like it when they give him a backstory saying he became a villain because he was bullied as a kid, I've never really been able to get into villains with a motivation like that for some reason. The only time I completely understood why Scarecrow does what he does is when I read his New 52 origin story, Cycle of Violence. I truly felt bad for him in that story and I liked it when they adapted it into Gotham (one of the only things that show did right in my opinion). But other than that writers never really seem to explore his actual character that much at all despite him being such a classic and popular villain. I will say that I find every version of him to be at least decent though, especially the Arkham Knight one.

Next up will be Two Face. However, I am extremely busy at the moment and so production will have to start much later than usual. I hope that once I am done with my personal business I will be able to get that video out sometime this week.
