(SPOILERS: The Departed [2006], Infernal Affairs [2002])

Some of you may remember my second video ever, entitled “Why The Departed Sucks”. And you may have noticed that I unlisted said video. The reason I did so is because, in retrospect, I don’t think it is emblematic of what the channel stands for today. Now, to be clear, I still stand by my claim that The Departed does in fact suck and believe I made strong arguments, but at the time, as I was still finding my style, I think I was trying too hard to emulate the whole “rage bro” aesthetic, which in turn soured the actual good points I made.

For that reason, its presence on the channel has bugged me for a while and I was torn as to how to address it; should I delete it, remake it? But then I settled on a different idea; in this video I will go over my original review and respond to my OWN arguments, stating where I think they are lacking and fleshing them out in a more constructive manner.
