The YouTube comments...

Not every story needs to have a hero or villain...

Sorry, but I really can't see this as a story without villains even after SS's comment.

Don't know how he could have possibly made this video not thinking it would come off like that. I legit got pretty upset watching this and I don't actually care about the speed running scene at all outside of SS's videos.

As I was watching the video, I found myself silently rooting for the underdog - at first that was the Alliance because it seemed like MR's quest for 32/32 was inevitable and their victories were incredibly hard fought, but as they kept stymieing him, MR became the underdog and I was rooting for him to pull it off in the end, which is what made this such a compelling narrative imo - the push and pull of who had the upper hand. But I mean, 'rooting' doesn't mean I saw the other side as villains, of course - that's just completely childish.

Yeah y'all are crazy, it's just competition.

In fact the only thing that would be considered malicious wasn't even covered in this video, and it's not really malicious , just looked down upon in the community...hoarding records.

Its not like theres a villain really, its more to me that since the video feels like its is from MRs point of view, I feel his frustration as he constantly gets close to 32 and is always stopped. The other runners are not bad people, and MR seems to have a good attitude about it. But I was definitely pulling for him.

That is the nature of competition, it's okay to feel bad for the loser, but as long as the victor wins legitimately they aren't villains.

yeah, the speedrunning scene can get extremely nasty but nothing in this SS video was malicious at all.

how dare speedrunners... try to beat each other's times? >_>
