Why it worked

The video leverages popular game characters and a common fan discussion point (character design and story pacing) to create relatable content. The use of visually striking in-game animation likely captures attention and encourages engagement.

Summary

This video uses animated clips from a game to illustrate a point about character design and storytelling. It contrasts a character named Nihilux with previous characters, suggesting that the complaints about Nihilux's design are unfounded given the game's history.

Structure

1Introduction of the complaint about Nihilux's design
2Showing previous character designs as a comparison
3Discussing the rushed nature of Nihilux's story development
4Concluding with a statement about laughter and the stars being silent

Product placement

Honkai Star Rail (game, appears, removing it would not change what happens in the video)

On-screen text

"i dont get why ppl are complaining nihlux doesn't looks like an aeon" while THIS is what we had a year ago... Let's give this long, painful, nearly hopeless tale... cycle of cause and effect, humanity never looks to the gods for gu But I declare: Let there be laughter.

Original caption

you can criticise why an AEON's design is like that and their story is rushed while also loving them guys. keep in mind cyrene is not even an AEON nor is khaslana. which is why the same detached sleeves and same design looks bad, theyre over doing it, it doesn't suit nihilux (aha) at all. ALSO the fact that nihilux being aha implications were rushed in the story while cyrene and khaslana had time to build development for people to love them . . #HonkaiStarRail #phainon #nihilux #hsr #hsrcreators
