I watched this a week back and she's dumb. Basically, she didn't know everyone's favorite color and animal so the characters are weak. The only gripe I have with the marvel cinematic universe (so dumb to type) is how people think all movies have to be like marvel movies now. its like michael bay movies 10 years ago.

Not sure how they can poo poo on Rogue One while jerking it to TFA. Both movies have major flaws. There were equal amounts if not more fan service in TFA than in Rogue One. Rogue One is the better movie though in my opinion. I liked it better after seeing it a second time

Less a love of TFA and more a love of trolling their audience.

"I'm thirty," I said. "I'm five years too old to lie to myself and call it honor."
That girl's ten points were all spot on and I think there are some posters in here who really want to defend a bad movie at all costs!

While I think they should probably get off the Rogue One topic, this fake podcast was pretty great :golfclap:

Y'know, it is sort of strange to suggest to your audience that they are stupid for disagreeing with you. I feel like this is the sort of thing that RLM has mocked in the past.

Like, I don't hate Rogue 1, I don't hate RLM, and I don't really have any strong opinion besides mild surprise that they are so vehemently opposed to it. Yet their tone of both of these videos has been very negative towards their viewers. Only vapid idiots would like Rogue 1! I feel like I'm being insulted for doing nothing.

I guess if I watched as many movies as they do, instead of like, two films a year, maybe I'd be sufficiently jaded?

In one of their older Plinkett reviews (the Abrams Star Trek one, I think), they made fun of the audience for being popcorn eating, pop-swilling masses that want explosions and lens flares. Maybe I'm putting words into RLM's mouth but I think they're criticizing one aspect of a total audience -- ie, the easily influenced, mass-consuming, uncritical fanboys of both franchises that, instead of making their subjects deeper, richer and more interesting, are actually bringing them down with their lack of standards. The two Star Wars nerds bowing at the release of the Phantom Menace is another example. That blatant stupidity helps no one and just comes off as really pathetic.

Whether or not this is a good tactic is open for debate, but I think they're definitely focusing in on a particular type of fan and not "everyone that liked Rogue One."

but then again maybe they really fuckin hated it and actually think everyone that liked it is an idiot

So I just came back from watching "Rogue One".

I thought it was OK

Most of the criticism about the characters is on point. It felt like they just kind of stumbled into eachother and then stumbled into the most important rebel operation ever and then just kind of stumbled into victory before everyone died. Better characters would have made the movie way better

Still, didn't think it was terrible

[edit] it was also clear walking out of the theatre that most people didn't realize Old Bad Guy was actually CGI because they only mentioned "how did they do pricess Leia at the end???" and nothing else

Deal with it.
I hope the next year is them just making videos making GBS threads on R1 and youtube reviewers until the next star wars movie comes out and they do the same thing to that.

This was probably one of their most genius videos yet. The Geek Crate plug was especially great as it really summed up the theme of the whole video, because Loot Crate is the equivalent of the modern pop "nerd" culture that exists now, all presentation (Rogue One, Loot Crate) and no substance. I laughed harder every time Jay said he personally loved this film.

Hmm yes Disney offered advanced tickets to their biggest movie of the year to a review show named after getting shitfaced, this makes sense.

it's less than a week into 2017 and they've made like half an hour of ragu one videos

also this wasn't a good imitation of a nerd podcast, they actually stayed on topic and didn't talk about crap no one cares about for 2 hours, with the 15 minutes of talking about the movie interspersed within
and at least one blue apron ad

Yeah this video was not at al an exaggeration. Swag and early access for buzz and positive reviews is the name if the game in nerd media for both games and movies. The YouTube talking heads depend on the access to drive their viewership. They are hack frauds.
