Leal posted:Its one of the animated Titanic movies, and I think its much better then Doug's for one simple reason: He shows more of the movie then Doug did. Now that I think about it thats what I liked more about Lupa's Food Fight review compared to Doug's, its less on wacky antics and more of letting the movie speak for itself. I think at points it kinda crossed the line into "leaning too heavily on the material", but for the most part it was really funny. Though you really can't praise JonTron and condemn "wacky antics" in the same breath. When it comes down to it, JonTron is the Nostalgia Critic schtick done with better comedic scruples. It's not that he doesn't do wacky poo poo, it's just that he knows exactly when to do it, and how to balance it with dry wit.

Jontron can make a CS GO look entertaining. Heeey speaking of which: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ida4D2J_riM I am seriously a big fan of Jon. I like Game Grumps better now with Dan and Arin, but I Think it's more to do with their Chemistry than anything else. Jon stands strong on his own. Also, unlike NC, he doesn't have crossovers with varying results every other week. (Some of them are great, others, not so much).

poparena posted:Most of his stuff was cross-posted on Youtube, and what he hasn't posted, there's a solid chance a fan might have done so with Russian subtitles. Side related question for those on the receiving end of Patreon money - I saw this running around the internet before and I was curious if there's validity to it... ...is the actual money per month a fraction of the stated total because of rampant account fraud? I was reading tales elsewhere of likely-bot accounts that unsubscribe the day before payment and then re-subscribe the day after, accounts with bad credit cards that still have access after months of Patreon promising to do something about them etc. Just idle curiosity if that's something people have experienced or if this is just rumor-mongering.

BigglesSWE posted:I think both Jon and Doug had interesting videos on the subject, but critically Jon used, as you said, more footage from the film, and a lot of stuff never even hinted at in the NC review, what with the bigger focus on the dogs and more about the blatant ripoff from Disney/Bluth (I think Doug only mentioned Cinderella and Cameron's Titanic). When it comes to JonTron, I have a hard time getting past his Nathan Lane wannabe voice. It's really distracting to me (saying nothing of his actual comedy, etc.).

Hey man, a voice you don't click with can be a total deal breaker. That's why I can't see anything with Angry Joe or even Mr. Plinket. They're just obnoxious to my ears, even if the latter probably have interesting points.

He's always been devoted to having a standard of quality to his videos and it shows from the start. Even before he found his voice, he made sure his videos at least LOOKED decent, unlike literally every other video reviewer at the time. The fact that he sort of exploded on his own, independent of TGWTG or any of the cliques of that time, is a testament to his quality and appeal. He's not for everyone, but he puts a lot of work and skill into his product, and he honestly deserves a lot more praise for that then he gets. The fact that people still bitch about him because of Twitter drama is just proof that they don't have anything better to criticize him for.

Demo Reel was the first real show after Channel Awesome got their studio. When it failed, Doug had a bunch of new resources he didn't know what to do with. And best I can tell, he still hasn't really learned.

After that he'll make a review of some old cartoon and have his former demo reel people play as corporate folk so he can lecture them on how he stands by his artistic view instead of money and I'm sure I'm going to see that turned into a clip or a photoset retweeted over and over again as some sort of mental breakthru.

DarkSydePhil regularly gets a few hundred dollars declined, despite his attempts at removing troll accounts, every month. As such, he constantly talks about barely reaching his goals when he appears to be hundreds of dollars above them every month. He's also human garbage who consistently bails on his goals or changes them after they're met so he has to do less work, so he gets what he deserves. But no, Patreon is definitely not troll-proof.

I can only speak from my experiences on a per video basis, but it's way too easy to scam for rewards on Patreon. Hopefully they'll implement a system to avoid people pulling their pledge just before they're charged at the beginning of the month, but right now it happens a lot. Not sure what fraction is lost per month. As for mine, even though it says $720 per video, that's really only what I get paid for the first video that month. Because of pay caps, that drops very quickly each video that's posted. Only bringing it up to give some perspective on what it says someone is making versus what they're actually making. That being said, Patreon is totally awesome and run by some cool folks who treat their creators well, at least in my experience.

I think Doug moving away from showing actual film footage has to do with his major grudge against people DMCAing his videos in the past. He spent ten minutes of his awful Jurassic World review bitching about how he's doing film companies a favor and that they don't understand what his videos are about.

Jon never commented about Quinn or the incident since other than one tweet when GG blew up along the lines of 'lol trust me she is not worth getting worked up over'

The story was they set up this gamejam, someone got some major tv studio to sponsor it and the director was a huge rear end in a top hat, which led to the drama and immediate NDAs from the studio. Angry Joe was a judge on it. He said everyone went to Disney world afterward. I think..a lot about what happened is still under legal lock and key I think.
