Maybe the robot/ai who makes the human is glitching and different so it disagrees with the other ai. So it makes the human as a kind of chosen one to fight the ai.

I only point that out bc... well, I did XD

"Delayed trauma is a real thing," The way I smiled at this bc of my own novel-in-progress. The trope of "I used to be horrendous person and I was proud about it and now I'm traumatized by my own actions" is really fascinating to dive into. Great video, Daniel!

I've got one: a bard, down on his luck, turns to necromancy in an effort to become immortal. He succeeded, but centuries of undeath have broken his already weak moral compass, and now his only drive is to use is knowledge of dark magic to put on "performances" so that he can always be the center of attention.

Here's my interpretations of High King Arthur P. Hawkwing's emoji pitches (5:10) Anarchist alien from the Moon Astronomer who ends up doing journalism Three monkeys in a trenchcoat who hide a chicken in their top hat for nefarious reasons. Or for Stuart Little reasons. A buff guy who owns and runs a media corporation but doesn't know how to use a calculator and instead uses an abacus. Despite this, he's very successful. Engineer whose goal is to build a rocket on her own to escape Earth. Talkative robot engineer. Yes, as in they're a robot, and yes as in they engineer robots. Detective hired to solve an embezzlement case, with some time pressure. Astronaut who sacrifices herself at the end of the movie to save Earth from being Alderaan'd. A robot and a weelchair-bound human who are in love. There's tension, probably from outside their relationship. Scientist who figures out a gene therapy application for helping amputees adjust to their prosthetics. Aliens who come to Earth to steal call bells. A world traveler who has volcano powers. A heist crew: a traditionally trained ninja, an astronaut, a robot, a telemetry professional, an ex-military paratrooper, and an alien. A character who's used as bait for alien invaders to get them into a trap where this character infects them with a super-plague. A vehicle expert. A mad scientist who hatches a plan to plunge Halley's Comet into the sun.

B-characters having the spotlight while the chosen one has only a few scenes is literally just Goblin Slayer. Dunno if it'd most peoples cup of tea though due to its graphic content.

Daniel not realising that Liam Does Things’ comment was a reference to Homer Simpson explaining the plot of Terminator 😂

Chosen One who survives the point where they were destined to die and becomes an immortal villain because the universe didn't know what to do with him after they 'died.'

Two noblemen living near a small town in separate spooky castles. One collects silver obsessively, the other buys any garlic he can get his hands on. The silver collector is a werewolf, and the garlic buyer a vampire, each trying to protect their own life, not take each other's. A comedic murder mystery.

The programmer pitch has been done. "Off to see the wizard" is I believe the title of the first one. Guy discovers computer file that allows reality editing, magic and hijinks ensue.

I had the same thought. Great book series. Also it is call "Off to be the wizard"

I really like the "Weekend at Bernies sidekick" idea. I could just see it. The Hero dies during a mission (either because of a stupid chance or because the Sidekick messed up big time) and then the Sidekick just goes around pretending to be the Hero because he feels super guilty or because he doesn't want the Hero's legacy to be tarnished. In the end the Sidekick is actually recognized as a Hero in their own right.

Goblin proceeds to place characters in an oven.

Referring to "Battlebitch's" comment, there's a manga similar to that called "Goblin Slayer". It's a story where an adventurer only hunts and kills goblins despite having the rank and skill to takle much higher level threats. The adventurers reasons for only killing low level goblins are both personal and very logical. It's not the best written but I find it very entertaining to read.

Talking about interesting pitches you should read Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. Its a story that takes place after our party defeats the evil lord and deal with how each one of them and especially the elf character (who will outlive them all) deals with it.

I want more of this. I love hearing new and interesting ideas and concepts, and Daniels take on them.

The first one is trials of Apollo ( third series in continuation to Percy Jackson) The best part is that Apollo , the most arrogant and handsome god is sent as a teenager with pimples, flab and terrible musical skills and he has to serve as a servant to a twelve year old girl ( who isn't that great to her). It's middle grade but it's wonderful.

Can we have more of these vids? They're great to get those creative juices flowing

More of these videos please! This was amazing :8

This is absolutely amazing and could really really inspire so many people watching. It's super wholesome in a really fun way and entertaining way. So much more interesting and meaningful than bookshelf roasts (those are fun too of course). It also opens so many conversations about so many of the topics you mentioned (for example about those less commonly written stories). And I bet the people whose ideas you responded to are over the moon. I'd watch the hell out of each video like this.

Really love these vids about judging bookshelves, characters etc. would love to see one about story pitches/ magic or technology systems in a sci fi fantasy world/story.

This gives me more inspiration to pull up Google Docs and write then I've had in a long time :D

Ive successfully deciphered the emoji pitch...youre welcome. There are aliens on the moon. An astrophysicist grad student sees something up there and documents it. She takes it to her professors but they disregard it. They ignore everything she says because they are too chicken. But she's strong, records her findings, tells everyone, wins a nobel prize and a grant for her university. She begins work on a spaceship to go to the moon to say hi to the aliens. Her ship takes a hit in the landing and the aliens have their robot help fix it. She begins searching around, tries to steal some alien valuables and needs to escape in a hurry. The aliens realize this, shoot her ship as its flying away and She gets sucked out into space and freezes to death. The robot, realizing this earth woman was his one true love, grows emotional for the first time. He begins upgrading his robot body, making it stronger, like the death machine in the days of old. The aliens meanwhile land on earth and all of earth is in a great panic. The aliens are launching attacks against all the great cities of the world. The twin sister of the grad student is training to be a ninja when the robot finds her and they set off to stop the alien menace. They all start kung fu fighting the aliens until they all have bloody noses and are deceased. The robot and his new lover the ninja twin have the first cyborg baby, named Anchor, and live on a farm. The ninja twin finishes her autobiography dedicated to 'my loving sister' as a new alien ship lands on earth and the team crack their knuckles to do it again.

part 1 has my character start as a hero and fall in love and face a conflict i havent figured out yet. the character is sort of a ball of rage that bottles it tightly, until it bursts and they kill their love interest. part 2 has them face the guilt that that brings, and the fear that others see them as a monster. they distance themselves from other loved ones and become more and more volatile, violent, and callous. part 3 (which could be combined with part 2, it is just essential that the pov switches) switches pov to a one of said loved ones, who has to take down the previous pov character because they have fully become the villain

I love this video idea, I request you make it into a series

First, do another one, but this time you ask the yt comment section.
