My biggest problem with Thug Notes is all the people (closet racists) taking the Thug part seriously and saying dumb shit like thanking them for making literature available to “people of color.” Now I’m wondering if they ever tried to branch out and have the presenter drop the caricature.
The actor drops character from time to time when he’s using long sentences and you catch a glimpse of exactly that. I’d love to see him do other stuff as well though. Thug aside, he’s legitimately awesome at breaking down subtext for dumb dumbs like me to get.
The only reason I know the contents of most classic literature is because of “So You Haven’t Read” series on YouTube.
I just watched Wishbone
Me with Thug Notes. I wish I had discovered it during highschool :(
