Planet Earth is much better than his Our Planet thing on Netflix.
Our Planet just feels like episode after episode of "it's all dying, and it's all your fault".
Like, I get it, and it is. But I just want to see some pretty tigers or leopards or something to take my mind off it. I want raccoons and their funny little hands. I want sexually frustrated birds of paradise making an ever more elaborate attempts to get laid.
The bird part is just my life and I don't want any more of it.
The sad thing is that the ones who hear it and understand it are the ones trying to change what little we can already. So hearing it over and over is depressing.
The ones who don't care are the ones who need to hear it the most, but will ignore it.
Agreed. Very important observations too
