AI video has come pretty far from the nightmarish productions from a year and a half ago. With some nuanced inputs and direction, it’s starting to look like highly-stylized stereoscopic images.
The actual story here seems okay, and is based loosely on Zecharia Sitchin’s ramblings, who should’ve just written a sci-fi series instead of claiming it as actual prophecy, and there’s plenty to mine from Mesopotamian religious history. It really fell apart for me when the Anunnaki’s plan was spelled out: an nonsensical Enlightenment-based perfection quite obviously dreamt up by a 21st century materialist westerner (the video’s creator is Brazilian). Interesting how a a powerful, ancient alien race’s perfect society overlaps nicely like that. I have my issues with writers like Lovecraft or Alan Moore, but at least their superpowered being stories don’t conclude as a ridiculous utopian fantasy.
The channel’s most viewed video is a feature-length movie in the same style, about the Anunnaki as depicted in Sitchin’s original material in The Lost Book of Enki

The amount of popularity Sitchin has garnered shows just how easy it is to build a cult.
With the right stack of talents, the “right” lack of moral scruples, and a smidge of luck, yeah…you can take definitely take the unsuspecting for a good ride.
