Monumentality

Edit: Got rid of the rant. It was pointless. Here are the metric conversions: 1 in = 2.54 cm 1 foot = 0.305 meter 1 mile = 1.61 km

This is the first one million special that I ever saw where the creator makes justice to the size of the achievement

from deviant art ranter, to a sophisticated art historian. that's character development right there. edit: this is a war zone, my god.

- Rich in content, justified long duration. - Top notch editing. - Brings up many different topics but ties them up under one theme. - No dragging out, despite the duration. - Kept my attention through the whole video. - No pretending and over-dramatization, despite the thought-provoking topics. - Shout outs to other interesting youtubers. - High rewatch value. This goes down as one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen, these million Subs are well deserved!

Lol, just to hear him go from philosopher, to art historian, to ranting on about your disliking of star wars plot holes makes this video deserving of at least 10 million views.

I can't believe "Take a journey with me through the unfathomable" and "There's Grubhub LORE?" are phrases said by the same person

You are the yin to Vsauce's yang. If the two of you collaborated I don't think the world would be ready for it.

This is probably one of the greatest videos on this platform imo

Dang, really hitting me in the Vsauce nostalgia and existential feels. This is a well-made video.

This entire video could have been the greatest set up to a Your Mom joke ever

I learned because of John Green that there's a term for the mix of fear, awe, amazement and smallness you feel when you witness something very large. It's called "Mysterium Tremendum," and I felt a strong sense of it when I first visited Chicago. I was in Millennium Park when I looked up at one of the skyscrapers and it felt like the breath was just drawn out of me. The only way I could describe it was, "Things aren't meant to be that big" lmao.

I love how this feels like 10 separate videos in one. All centering around the broad theme of big things. It’s so bizarre and sometimes jarring, but I love each section.

I was actually animating Star Destroyers whilst watching this. It came as quite a surprise when he started mentioning how cool all the little windows are, since I was adding all the individual specks of light at the time.

The writing is top-notch. "It isn't just big things in a vacuum that interest people" he says, while there are planets on screen. That's already a like from me.

I just realized (9 months after my intial view) that Gurren Lagann is the PERFECT example of Monumentality. The mind-boggling size of mechs that only keep getting bigger and bigger until they basically surpass the size of the universe. Its really hard to comprehend the more you think about it. I know this is old but I hope you check Gurren Lagann out if you ever read this lol.

This video started out as a normal solar sands video but quickly turned into a highly sophisticated documentary that's worthy of being on paid streaming services

This is genuinly one of the best one million sub specials I have ever seen.

don’t mind this just gonna make some time stamps for myself n my mom 19:37 - the radiant city 21:12 - that’s a cool wording 31:43 - Étienne-Louis Boullée 32:58 - John Martin 38:46 - Statue of Unity 40:05 - Christo and Jeanne-Claude 46:48 - city
