RocketJump's Video Game High School

Hello everyone. I woke up today and decided that I was gonna get stuff done today. I hope I have more days like this because I feel very accomplished when I do. Anyway, on to what you guys are really here for.

I have recently rewatched Video Game High School and decided I would talk about it in light of the next thing I plan to post about character development. Video Game High School (VGHS) is basically a new kid at school story combined with the sports underdog story. All in all the plot is very predictable. However, this marks a change for Freddie Wong. Usually his videos are running and gunning special effects films. Granted, there is plenty of that to go around here, but we have a solid plot. Granted characters fall into the same stereotypes as most school/sport movies and there is little development in the characters until the final showdown, but it is a complete, coherent plot and, as I said about Hotel Transylvania, predictable is not always bad. What intrigues me most is that the current plot arch up on youtube is only the first season. I am interested in finding out what Freddie has in store for us in the next season. He is growing as a film maker and I for one am excited to see where he goes with it.
