let me tell you about my tin apple core collection
Fuckboy? Only when drunk and it never goes farther than frenching.
The Nostalgia Critic is just so...not even slightly funny. Like how is someone screeching as loud as he can and yelling "That doesn't make sense" at things that MAKE PERFECT SENSE IF YOU JUST. WATCH. THE. FUCKING. MOVIE. even remotely entertaining?
At least AVGN, for all his stupid focus on profanity and vulgarity and the like, has the common decency to properly dissect and discuss why the things he things sucks sucks that bad.
But I haven't watched AVGN lately so idunno lolol
theres also the cinema snob who more of a critic in his reviews than rest and probably the one i watched the most.
The only time i've probably really agreed with the Cinema Snob is on his review of... okay, it wasn't a review, but when he was discussing A Serbian Film, he caught mention of The Doom Generation and instantly verbally tore it to pieces. I loved that.
The Cinema Snob is probably the only one of the Channel Awesome guys I still like. And only for the "Brad Tries..." videos, because people eating strange food is always amusing to me.
The Nostalgia Critic makes good points sometimes. I like his old vs new stuff, and his Patch Adams review did a good job of tearing apart the movie.
Also there's not much difference between the Cinema Snob and the Critic besides the Snob rarely yelling and their characters being somewhat different.
Yeah I said it.
Fucking come at me bro.
Crimson well their is werckless eating it's pretty much Brad Tries if were a full show or channel even. Myrmidon well they did have crossovers and but the snob reviews porno spoofs and very low-budget horror films also Exploitation films while The Nostalgia Critic reviews 80's and 90's movies and tv shows.
last thing brows held high is basically the snob but review's arthouse cinema instead and is more highbrow.
Nostalgia Chick, for me at least, still has that problem where in her reviews she seems to desperately claw out at the dark for something to say "Hey, doesn't this sound A LITTLE FUCKED UP?! THAT'S WHY I'M GONNA MAKE A BIG FUCKING DEAL ABOUT IT."
But hey, tits, what do i care?
I think Doug, Brad, and Spoony are pretty decent when they handle themselves properly. It's clear after awhile it became a job to Doug, as evidenced by the fact that he started doing stuff where he was comparing old and new versions, which I found a lot more interesting because he was obviously taking advantage of his passion (taking apart movies) without having to deal with exaggeration the character of NC provided.
Quite frankly, most of the stuff on that site is garbage but the only one who actively annoys me is Linkara since he's generally considered -the- comic guy and clearly doesn't really know much about the construction of comics, their history, or how the market works. it was funny seeing Spoony's review of a comic where they switched places and Spoony started talking about things like color and spatial mapping of panels while Linkara just goes for continuity rants and inserting his libertarian politics into it.
I actually like Linkara.
chances are this might have to do with the fact that you don't read comics
Maybe. What of it?
I like his videos, but...well, I think I laugh at the material itself more than his reviewing style.
I mean, yeah, he is silly, but I feel like I can actually follow along in his videos.
Because his supposedly insightful comments to be based on either a very basic understanding of storytelling or a null understanding of comics as a medium.
He's also far too in love with his story arcs (a staple of that site really) but he's a bad actor(which would be fine if he just stayed to being a critic), his arcs are dumb, and he gary stus himself.
Like in one crossover video I saw he had a fucking spaceship, and that was something established in his show about mocking bad comic books?
Doesn't Linkara also make his job a lot easier by deliberately seeking out obscure and horrible shit?
^Isn't that half of what all these guys do?
Also, I'm pretty sure Linkara is the one that started the "fedora = cool" nerd fashion trend. That is obviously his greatest sin.
If your show is about reviewing horrible comics, I don't see how that's a problem.
Well, considering that you don't have to dig pretty deep to find horrible comics...
Oh it's just horrible comics. I thought he reviewed comics in general.
How can you be the designated medium guy when you only pick shitty things from that medium?
Because the people who decide such things are kind of dumb.
