I don't get it. You drove a tank around several different cities while soft music played in the background. I don't get "love".
Not trying to be negative, I'm just not understanding what the homage here is for you.
Well, the focus of "Protector of Mankind" is love, of course. I understand you and some others question how it could possibly mean that, and not to worry, I'll explain.
It all started a year and a half ago, I had met someone who changed my life. I made a cinematic for her once on my old channel, only to end up on the receiving end of people mercilessly attacking the channel months later, and me having to take the whole channel down. All the videos were deleted in this process, I had deleted all the backups of the videos out of anger and frustration. Then, I had realized I had just deleted one video that actually had such meaning. The cinematic I had purely dedicated to the one I had met.
Over this period, I spent months coming up with a new channel name. Months of things that had happened while this person and I went through all sorts of stuff in the United States. After I made the new channel, I re-created the old video and kept it as a reminder, as a precious thing for just me and her. It only exists in file, it has never be uploaded and never will be.
I had decided that after all that happened, and her being back in France again, I may as well make a homage to the first time she came to the US. "Protector of Mankind" starts off in France (in the Paris map, but this is irrelevant) and via traveling, describes the travel, the journey, to the US... Which you eventually see this shown in Serene Coast. The house you see the AMX 13 105 park in front of is a reference to the AirBnB home she had stayed in for the first weeks into her stay there.
That is the "personal homage" I described, perhaps I could make the description of the video detail this, but since it's such a personal story, this is as much as I'll share about the meaning
