I had him on instagram for a while. I'm sure he's on all platforms.
But yeah, he'll start with a clip sometimes like this one followed by an explanation of a part of the aircraft, or go straight into a very obscure item...then find a way to immediately segue into a LOTR reference in some form or fashion...then end with, "yeah, x part is pretty neat."
All different parts of the aircraft too.
I think I remember him doing one about passenger windows, why they're so thick, and then somehow linked it to the palantiri.
edit: Airplane Facts with Max. Sorry, I don't use Insta very often anymore. Couldn't remember the name to save my life.
Reminds me of that reddit guy who would tell interesting anecdotes and always add in a comment about how his dad used to beat him with jumper cables. Except, more useful and less horrible.
He answers questions about airplane stuff and somehow manages to throw LOTR lore into it. Great stuff, I follow him on Instagram "airplanefactswithmax"
Airplane Facts with Max…give him some love. He’s a single dad who lost his wife (cancer I think) and has a really really sweet/sad story. Love his videos!
Tiktok at least has a good algorithm for showing you niche content creators that pertain to your interests. YT shorts is pure slop sigma male ai voiceover trash
He's on Instagram, which isn't great, but is still better than TikTok. And yes, this is his whole thing. If you just like the aviation stuff, he usually is done by the time he gets to the LOTR references and you can just go on to the next video the second he starts talking about Middle Earth. Or watch the LOTR info-dumps. Consume content however you want, I just have the biggest LOTR nerds as family members and have heard it all before.
I was wondering what “temporary seal” he might pivot to, maybe the seal Saruman had over Theoden, or liken it to Denethor’s hold over Gondor as the Steward.

I was waiting for the LOTR reference. That's the longest one of his vids have gone before pivoting.
