Will watch the video before commenting on this if I have time to watch it.
Sounds interesting based on what I read in the OP, though. Although—despite not knowing much about Hegel yet—I am very much, speaking of suspiciousness, suspicious of Hegel before I even look into him. Perhaps this is bad because perhaps Schopenhauer has poisoned the well. However, I do think that if Schopenhauer strongly distrusts something or somebody he's usually right and usually has very good reasons. And since time is precious I have opted to study other philosophers instead of Hegel up until now at least.
Perhaps the only philosopher who was ever wiser than Schopenhauer was Epicurus, in my experience, but that is, of course, debatable.

Schopenhauer Wrote:The intellect has become free, and in this state it does not even know or understand any other interest than that of truth.
Epicurus Wrote:The greatest reward of righteousness is peace of mind.
Epicurus Wrote:Don't fear god,
Don't worry about death;
What is good is easy to get,
What is terrible is easy to endure
