Kim Justice posted:Not only that but Joe also had that bad interview with Geoff Keighley at the VGA's in the same year which could have certainly screwed him up way worse than being next to Spoony shouting "BETRAYAL". Hell, he did a lot of things back then that could have made him a person that the industry wasn't ever going to take seriously...still ended up fine though. LordKat could have definitely rode out the storm - yeah, it might have taken a bit of time for the heat to cool off perhaps, but he could have. But instead he went a different path thinking that he was blacklisted forever or some poo poo. In the end he was just as bad as Big Fazeek

JordanKai posted:https://twitter.com/McJuggerNuggets/status/1174417491285741575 That last one makes me doubly laugh because if there's been any crackdown on conservative content it's because they've been gaming said "machine learning" to infest youtube. If anything it's been the opposite recently and they've started trying to curate their mass recommendation videos for relative quality and not "libs being triggered - a compilation" videos.

From Giant bomb intern to youtube globetrotter to blinking white guy meme, Drew Scanlon has been kinda Forrest Gumping his way through things the last couple years and he's been doing marathons for MS charity, and CNN gave him a shoutout.

The Nostalgia Critic's latest video is a musical review of Pink Floyd's The Wall. The only reason I know this is because ralphthemoviemaker put up a Patreon-exclusive video where he watches and reacts to it. Holy poo poo, Doug may have hit a new low. If you're not already a Patreon supporter of Ralph I would highly recommend throwing a buck his way to watch his reaction video (and certainly don't give Doug Walker any views).

Arcsquad12 posted:Just the fact that he thinks he can talk about Pink Floyd in any capacity pisses me off. Well, he can't. I tried watching that video and I think it's even worse then his first musical review. Someone really has to tell him you need good singers and dancers to pull off a musical and he has neither. And is neither. It did remind me that Pink Floyd exists and I like some of their music, so it's not totally bad. I'd give it an 11/100 on my personal scale. (His first musical review got a 25/100 by the way, mostly thanks to the novelty.) Also I have no idea what that review was about, since my mind kept slipping off into other mental dimensions while it was running. It sure felt surreal, though. Probably not in the way the Nostalgia Critic intended, though.

My dad is a big fan of Pink Floyd, as am I (though he's not that big of a fan of The Wall movie, and I don't think I've actually seen it from beginning-to-end). The notion of the Nostalgia Critic making a musical review of the movie alone I find sacrilegious. It's also a sign he really is running out of things to cover, since he started out covering '80s & '90s films and TV, and while that movie came out in '82, I don't think it really fits with the same demographic who grew up with Captain N and Saved by the Bell.

Dapper_Swindler posted:i mean the stupid fucker trapped himself in twilight zone Sisyphus hell for years now. plus money won't last forever. I think only recent NC episode I've watched was the one he did on Movie 43. Looking at a wiki list of his most recent episode, he covered some stuff that fits with his original theme (X-Men Animated Series, the That Darn Cat remake, The Black Cauldron), but also stuff like Percy Jackson, the new Kim Possible, and...the Max Payne movie?  "There was something disturbingly familiar about the letter bore me. The handwriting was all pretty curves" "You're in a Nostalgic Critic video, Max." "The truth was burning green crack through my brain. Actors in bad costumes acting out poorly blocked skits. Clips of terrible movies shown with inane commentary, and ear-piercing screams mixed with gunshot sound effects." "I was in a Nostalgic Critic video. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of." Dapper_Swindler posted:i mean the stupid fucker trapped himself in twilight zone Sisyphus hell for years now. plus money won't last forever. This might sound bizarre, but I don't really blame Doug for wanting to axe the Nostalgia Critic and for trying to do Demo Reel. I sort of compare it with Red Letter Media and Plinkett, or (to a lesser extent) with James Rolfe and the AVGN. They started out as one-off gimmicks that evolved into their main draw, and while it made them successful, I always got the impression that they got tired of it and wanted to pursue other projects. RLM started out doing movies, and they kinda-sorta managed to drop Plinkett Reviews with Half in the Bag and Wheel of the Worst. With James Rolfe, I think I maybe he doesn't resent the character, but I remember before the AVGN movie came out, he talked about taking a long break after it was done, and I got the impression he was getting burned out with it. It's just kind of depressing, because he thought the NC had run its course and he decided to retire the character, but it not only caused his numbers to drop, but the rest of CA's as well. So he brings the character back, and proceeds to run it into the ground (I mean, I guess you could say that he could have done better so as not to turn himself into a living meme, but then that might be the only thing keeping him afloat at this point.)

Yeah. I mean Phelous' movie reviews are the closest I follow to the old format but Phelan has never really tried to frame himself as a definitive voice on anything and is much better at comedy due to it (though his style is pretty divisive.) He's also expanded quite a bit beyond the bad horror movies he started from with the toy stuff or very obscure tie-in specials to nostslogic properties. Heck even when he covers horror now, it's usually a movie he at least somewhat likes.

I think why Phelous's videos work or hold up better (depending on what it is you're talking about), since he's more sardonic or flippant with his commentary and jokes. Like you said, he also benefits from branching out into covering other things like bootleg toys or terrible animated cartoons. At time I think about trying to do some kind of internet video review, and in my mind's eye, if I were to do a movie review, I imagine it being akin to something like one of Doug's or Phelous's videos (in the sense that it's a summary/commentary of the film from beginning-to-end). It just seems to be a matter of how it's executed, and if it's done well, it can work alright.

He already started to run out like 10 loving years ago. Since then he has reviewed tons of games from after the 2000-divide. He is now more the Bad Clown Critic, as "Nostalgia" doesn't really cut it if you can't resist modern movies

So Team Four Star posted this to Reddit in response to a recent video they made where they announced they'd canceled their Bojack Unbound Abridged movie.quote:Hey folks. I want to clear some things up, because the update today was a bit too vague. On one hand, I am really bummed out by this announcement. It feels a lot like what happened with Rooster teeth when they expanded beyond Red Vs Blue where it felt like the main reason people came to their content was getting canned for something else. Same thing with RLM expanding beyond the Plinkett videos, or even Doug Walker trying to do something other than Nostalgia Critic. You try to branch out and people only want you to do the same thing over and over. On the other hand, creator burnout is absolutely a thing and none of the aforementioned creators have had to deal with the near constant stress from Toei Animation or any of the other rights holders threatening to shitcan their fair use work every single day for a decade, and that has got to be demoralising at the best of times. It has to suck when the thing you're best known for is also the thing that is preventing industry bigwigs from taking you seriously. And with YouTube imploding channels on a regular basis it seems like a nightmare to do anything. So while I'm definitely disappointed that they canceled the film parody and that the Buu Saga episodes are probably going to be shunted to the backburner (never mind any of the movies after Bojack Unbound) I don't blame them for stepping back and trying to make something new. I just wish it didn't have to happen. But then I'm not TFS and I don't have to deal with this poo poo the way they do.

That's why so many series just stop, because what you think is the hobby becomes a job and if you want it to be any kind of quality it's a lot of effort. I am kinda surprised Toei hasn't looked at some of the t-shirts TFS sells and go 'hey wait no.'

Funimation likes them, and has hired some of their actors. The guy that did Dr. Gero and Cooler for DBZA is the VA for Gecko Moria Funimation dub of One Piece, as an example. Also one of the male voices you can pick in Dragon Ball Xenoverse is literally just the Abridged Nappa Voice. I don’t know about how Toei sees them, but I know most of the time when a DBZA video is taken down it’s usually Toei getting the blame. I know Japan is way different about Copyright vs. Fan Productions so I always assumed that DBZA was coasting on that.
