He has many videos taking deep dives into various topics which are very interesting, but he also has a kind of air about him where it wouldn't surprise me if he's a chud, or at the very least kind of an rear end in a top hat Yeah he's a chud.

I remember Quinton Reviews calling him out over some reactionary garbage EL was spouting. He also tried to sic a Twitter hate mob on Dan Olson over some otherwise completely innocuous video that made him mad for some reason.

The big "this guy is probably a chud" red flags are all of his many videos screaming about YouTube itself and "censorship". Generally anyone on YouTube who is outsizedly obsessed with being censored or silenced by YouTube and has made multiple videos screaming about how silenced they are have a tendency to say and do a bunch of poo poo that most Normal People frown on and don't want to listen to, and they interpret that as censorship, despite getting six digits in views from Extremely Online people who are totally down to listen to how censored and silenced dudes like the guy in question are.

WeedlordGoku69 posted:i feel like all this stuff about whether you can save a bad movie in the edit is ignoring that ZSJL is gonna be like six hours long and consist largely of new footage. Yeah, "The Snyder Cut", it turns out, was a myth and a marketing ploy. What the people who were clamoring for it are getting is going to be "The Snyder Version". And it is still going to be an absolute disaster because its baseline factor is one Zachary Snyder.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:You know, I’m very happy Joss Whedon has disappeared. I’ll thank Justice League for that if it helped. The sex monster stuff was revealed a few years earlier, right? I think that was post-Justice League; the post-Avengers, pre-Justice League era was just "Joss Whedon is a huge rear end in a top hat and hard to work with." Which had been known since like when Buffy was still on the air.

Shwoo posted:A live-action remake for the Hunchback of Notre Dame should just shove together everything from the versions Phelous reviewed. Quasimodo should be a handsome secret angel and Esmerelda should have talking musical instruments and get together with Quasimodo in the end. Frollo should simultaneously be an abbe, a baron's son, a nondescript lord, and a sheriff, and also have an inkstain on his hand that signifies how evil he is. I'm kinda surprised it got that many rip-offs seeing how controversial the original film and the source material was, but hey, never stop chasin' that dollar I guess.

Max Wilco posted:I like that A.) nearly two days passed before this complaint about the Mandalorian started getting discussed here, and B.) that even half the thread is saying, "Who gives a poo poo about Anita's sex-negative critique and petty complaints over Mandalorians having form-fitting armor?", a sentiment I've seen expressed elsewhere. That discourse also died a quick and quiet death in the Mandalorian TVIV thread, which is amazing because TVIV is an even bigger poo poo pile than this thread tends to be. More hay has been (rightfully) made over the fact that Gina Carano recently outted herself on Twitter as a right wing conspiracy nut, political violence advocate, and transphobe rather than whatever impactless dumbfuck thing Anita Sarkeesian said about boobie armor.

Nuebot posted:I dunno about good given how much of it is just being angry that someone disagrees with them about a director - and they continually break away from their own points to emphasize how they "no longer respect" said person because of this and go as far as to make up absurd extreme arguments to dunk on and go "Yeah you might as well have said that" to pat themselves on the back over. Like their take on Dawn of the Dead is fine, for example, and I enjoy hearing it. But when they frame it entirely through "gently caress you, you're wrong and I'm right! This can only be read one way!" it kind of undermines the whole point of the video I feel and makes it look super petty. Yeah, coming out chainsaw blaring for Roger motherfucking Ebert and comparing his grown rear end adult understanding of a movie to their own teenage self trying to do the same is... certainly a note to start a video essay on.

CelticPredator posted:QoS is okay. It’s not as bad as spectre. The best part about Quantum of Solace is Spectre's third act where Bond has to trudge through Blofeld's Tunnel Of Antagonists I Was Secretly Responsible For This Whole Time, and it very pointedly leaves out QoS's main antagonist. It's such a brilliant and petty shade throw.

The disparate parts of Tomorrow Never Dies are pretty cool, namely Pierce Brosnan, Michelle Yeoh, and Jonathan Price as a slightly less evil Rupert Murdoch. It's also got some of the best Q dunks on Bond in the franchise. A View to a Kill is also so nutty batshit it circles around back to being good again, fueled largely by the power of Christopher Walken, horse steroids, and a blimp with the villain's name on it that he commits crimes out of.

The man whose whole professional identity was born in the idea nursery that Animaniacs created--to the point where he once tracked down Maurice LaMarche and Rob Paulson to do his own personal Pinky and the Brain reunion skit--thinks that Animaniacs has somehow betrayed him because it evolved over the course of the 20 years it was off the air. Then again, the idea of evolving professionally is anathema to Doug

Dapper_Swindler posted:i think it would be more that he just doesn't give a poo poo and goes with the flow. watching clips on youtube its definatly way more openly progressive/liberal than i remembered it was as a kid, but i didn't get jokes as a kid and most of the jokes are solid enough in the new one so who cares. Depending on the situation and the punchline Wakko sloshed between super chill and just a giant goddamn idiot. But yeah, even for the 90s the show was super progressive. Dot was a very outspoken feminist who didn't take anyone's crap when they tried to treat her as anything less than the equal of Yakko and Wakko.

Fil5000 posted:It was an odd mix to be honest. They made some odd choices regarding Chas, and he has Zed along with him as well instead of being a lone dickhead, but one of the episodes is an adaptation of the first comic arc (the Gary Lester one) and is surprisingly faithful to it, and I was really expecting them to cop out on the ending. Matt Ryan was good as well. If it had been on a cable network instead of NBC it might still be going. Meanwhile, Legends of Tomorrow fished Constantine out of the TV abyss and made him a main character years ago and it's been great. Matt Ryan really kills it as Jonny C. It also wrapped up all of NBC Constantine's leftover plot threads from when it was canceled.

Bakeneko posted:While ironically Legends followed the opposite path, starting out with lots of drama involving unlikable characters before livening up in season two. It makes me wish we could see what Season 1 would have looked like with the Season 2-onward mindset of the show. We got tantalizing glimpses of what Fun Vandal Savage looks like, imagine a whole season of that guy as a big bad instead of the miserable rapey tinpot sorcerer we got. The Hawk people are unsalvagabe though.

Karloff posted:I do like the film version, mainly as it gives the Hammond character a sliver of Frankenstein esque tragedy. It still manages to bring in the corporate nobhead character with Gennaro, who in the book is far more decent. The cruelty has always been there, but yes was definently ramped up for the sequels. Nedry's death for example was drawn out but he was a somewhat villainous character, Eddie Carr and Secretary lady were innocent. I didn't mind the secretary lady death too much as it fit with the film's anarchic tone. The first three JP films set things out in a realistic, "what if this were to happen" kind of way with the dinosaurs portrayed like real animals. The JW films embrace camp and eccentricity and the dinosaurs come off as movie monsters and are far more anthropomorphic. It is a different take, probably an inferior one, but I enjoyed both for what they were. Batman v. Superman does a great job of taking Man of Steel to task for its horrifying climax and showing what a disinterested, irresponsible sociopath Snyder's Superman is all without saying barely a word... and then it devolves into being Batman v. Superman, but still.

The only time I watched Movie Bob was his videos on the Escapist on monster movies and I got to the point where he said something in one of them that made me go "...Oh." and I stopped watching things he made. This is also in the same relatively hazy time where everything Yahtzee was putting out was starting to blur together and get boring for me and Jim Sterling left the site for Destructoid. I then spent the next 10-ish years Movie Bob free until this thread reminded me that he exists and is a eugenicist who has Weird Thoughts on the sexual politics of meal time. Thanks, Internet Critic Thread, you never-ending garbage fire of awfulness

Violet_Sky posted:Why did I like nostalgia critic as a dumb teen Limited options. Doug got popular because he was basically one of three people doing what he did at the time he was first doing it, the other two being Spoony and James Rolfe, and the three of them basically settled the unexplored frontier. In short order, more people flooded into the market they'd created and quickly starting doing things better than them and evolving the whole atmosphere around them. Doug stagnated and was left in the dust (artistically, I mean, he's still a stupid big draw for some reason), Noah buckled under the pressure, had a meltdown and left the game for good, and James realized the times were a changing and tried his best to change with them. If you liked The Nostalgia Critic 10 years ago, I don't think anyone would blame you. If you liked The Nostalgia Critic 5 years ago, people would probably look at you a little sus, but not really hold it against you. If you like The Nostalgia Critic today, then you're a lost goddamn cause.
