Ninjasaurus posted:We could do an entire thread on the fandom of TGWTG. You wanna know the funniest thing? A lot of TGWTG fans see Linkara, Doug, etc as above criticism which is just about the epitome of irony. Edit: I feel bad for Doug a bit. He wanted to quit the Nostalgia Critic and branch out but the fans just bitched and bitched till he practically had to do it again. Tracula fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Mar 25, 2014 |

HOOLY BOOLY posted:It's pretty great to watch a review of a lovely comic (which i still think Linkara does an okay job at that) and then see that a good 10+ or more minutes after the review is already over and the video isn't even more than half way done is just...ugh. He's gotten better about this. I believe that he just loads the end of the review with story crap so if you want to skip it it's pretty easy. And one again, theres an irony to the fact that the guy who reviews bad comics has a story running through his show that's straight out of a bad comic.

Cornwind Evil posted:Kickassia was made as a fanservice niche product to cater to the, er, 'unique' audience, never thought itself as much else, and in so basically succeeded, even if it failed as a comedy, its supposed purpose. Unless Doug and co really thought they were making the next great comedy, or were trying to, I wasn't there. It's probably a little bit of everything. I want to say for the first year they did the "epic brawl" or whatever nonsense and since then the films have gotten more and more overblown with every iteration and more fan servicy than the last. It's a bit sad that Doug is in charge of this since he might be good* at reviews he knows fuckall about actually making movies. It would be smart to let Brad Jones or one of the guys who actually knows his poo poo about movies take over directing these yearly things. *good being completely subjective of course.

Kaiser Mazoku posted:They would if they weren't too busy arguing whether a certain band is black doom funk sludge metal or neo retro post heavy thrashcore metal. And may god help you if you like Metallica or some  metal band more than three people have heard of. It's always stuff like Flaming Vagina Blood Virgin Sacrifice with audio that sounds like it was filtered fifty times through a McDonalds drive up speaker.

Lunatics key posted:what does any of this have to do with reviewing comic books ? Linkara is usually okay when he just sticks straight to complaining about comics but he has the typical reviewer storyline which, ironically, plays out like a really lovely comic and he plays it completely straight. His fans take it absolutely seriously too, even giving enough of a poo poo to care about continuity.

DoctorWhat posted:Just gonna reiterate that apart from being a capitalist pig-dog Linkara's largely grown out of his lolbertarian leanings. He's really solid on gender rights and poo poo like that, anyway. Yeah, he actually rather proudly calls himself a feminist and absolutely rakes comics over the coals when they do something horrible and sexist. And really, I've never quite gotten all the criticism calling him doughy and whatnot. He may have put on a little weight but he looks pretty normal to me  .

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Now VIDEOGAME creepypastas on the otherhand are all complete poo poo, i'd suggest y'all watch look up Retsupurae's videos and go through the creepypastas. They all use the same 3 or 4 different "scary" things in them and Slowbeef totally sells with his "creepy" voice. Basically every single videogame Crappypasta ever is Mario BLOOD: The BLOODY adventure of the BLOODY REALISTIC BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD.

The names of these covens are just too good. If I was trying to mock tv tropes I couldn't come up with things this absurd. -13-15 year old losers, i mean kids unite! -Covert Nightmare Fetishists! -Atheist/Anti-theist/Agnostic Troper Group -Those Who Are Fond of Fedoras -Those who hate fedoras (although this one got locked because "Nope. This will be a complaining thread and we don't want those.") -Auties, Aspies, and other CloudCuckooLanders! And the list goes on.

Darth Walrus posted:Actually, anime fans can even outstrip poo poo like the Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian incidents when they put their minds to it. Look at what happens whenever a voice actress fails to be sufficiently 'pure' and sleeps with more than one guy. Or there's the Supernatural fans who harass the wives of the main two actors so badly they're afraid to show up at conventions nowadays. I believe the last straw was when one of them got reported constantly for being an escort/prostitute/whatever to authorities to the point she just had to leave basically. Moral is if you look every fanbase does its best to be the shittiest one out there and they always find ways to outstrip previous records.

Holy poo poo. This really does irrationally make me angry as poo poo for some reason. The whole "Mama Bear Tendencies" (which I'm sure has a tvtropes article, I can't be assed to check) is explained in the directors cut at least because to her she only recently lost her daughter. It's just loving staggering how sexist this rear end in a top hat is and he doesn't even realize it.
