Ever since Shanks first appearance at the very beginning of One Pieces story, fans have been speculating about the origins and true intentions behind Luffys previous mentor figure. With the character only rarely showing up in the story, yet still having a major impact on the world, so little information has been shared about the character that One Piece fans have to start filling in the blanks.

A classic Pokemon comes to life in the real world thanks to a fan who created an animatronic replica of Magnemite. The build serves as a lifelike recreation of one of the oldest creatures in the Pokemon franchise and elicited a heap of praise from other fans due to its detail.

I think we can all agree that Jon Bois and the team over on our sister site Secret Base do incredible work. Their documentaries are deeply researched, visually unique, and incredibly human, telling stories about sports but also the history of slipping on banana peels and that time some very dumb people got into an argument about how many days are in a week. Which brings me to Kevan MacKay, aka BobbyBroccoli. His YouTube channel definitely riffs on the same 3D docu-space animation style: He even made a tutorial for how to animate like Jon! But I must be very clear: BobbyBroccoli is no knockoff.Instead of data-driven documentaries on the television series 24 or SCORIGAMI!, BobbyBroccolis bread and butter is scientific controversies. However, this isnt a look at the controversy surrounding, say, vaccines or climate change, but rather, the scandals that revealed legitimate scientific fraud. These include the Korean human cloning scandal, the cold fusion fraud, and the fake discovery of new periodic elements.While BobbyBroccoli originally used Bois Google Earth style of animating, his last few docuseries have moved fully into Blender, even as they keep the concept of slowly assembling a virtual tableau to create powerful visual connections between characters and concepts in the story. This is part of what keeps these videos from simply looking like a Bois knockoff, because each of BobbyBroccolis series takes on a distinct visual style. For example, the series on human cloning ties everything together with a casino card table to help enhance a story about bluffing on an international scale.BobbyBroccoli also has a Bois-like knack for breaking down topics that you may not fully understand into compelling content. But while an episode of Pretty Good might need to explain just how hard it is to miss a field goal, BobbyBroccoli needs to explain high-level science. Which means not only explaining how the periodic table works, but also how ultra-heavy particles are discovered, and how a fraudulent research paper slipped by some experts while others were able to spot the fake.As much as the visual connections seem like the most obvious tribute to Bois work, BobbyBroccoli actually understands that what really makes a video about guys named Bob or one particularly notable pitcher isnt all the fancy graphics: Its that these are ultimately stories about people. Extraordinary people, but still just people. Even science, for all its noble pursuits, is also made by people. Flawed, idealistic, selfish, fame-chasing human beings. Whatever the challenging, elite pursuit may be, if there are humans involved, theres going to be an interesting story to tell.

Improbably, one of the great viral hits of the 2000s has returned this holiday season: Charlie the Unicorn.Created by Jason Steele of FilmCow, the original Charlie the Unicorn Flash animation short was released on Newgrounds in 2005 and slammed in to the cultural vernacular of terminally online millennials. Steeles Charlie shorts had a tight formula featuring a pink and blue pair of tooth-erodingly saccharine unicorns who would relentlessly bother the skeptical and foul-mouthed Charlie into traveling with them on ceaselessly capricious adventures stocked with classic mid-aughts random humor. At the climax of each short, Charlie would, despite himself, give in to their relentless cheerfulness and start to enjoy himself at which point they would conk him on the head and traffic one of his organs.When you write it all out like that it really does make you think: You know what? Skibidi Toilet is fine.Steele followed up with some sequels, parodies, and spinoffs throughout the 00s and early teens, eventually culminating in a Charlie finale in 2021. But lo, on the second day of Christmas my YouTube algorithm gave to me Charlie the Unicorn Enjoys a Moment of Peace. And, spoilers, but, the title is accurate.In the new vid, nothing bad happens to Charlie at all, and he is allowed to engage earnestly with a moment of true whimsy without any negative consequences. Im happy for him. I wish that for you as well, reader, and for all of us, in this holiday season and the new year to come.
