Nerdrotic is actually my favorite now. He seems more down to earth and less like he's playing a character. Those two fags from FilmThreat are pretty funny too.
I think his background is rather interesting from a comic book nerds perspective. The difference between him and you is that people actually care enough to listen to what he has to say about things because he generally brings intelligence and has insightful conversations.
I watch nerdrotic occasionally. He's not the only toy person out there. The video I posted was a Disparu, his videos are hilarious and informative. I'm not down with the toys. But make me laugh at stuff while explaining something, eh. You got my sub.

Gary is my favorite as well: He's about my age, has an interesting life story, and has great takes. A lot of the current culture kampf started with Sci-Fi novels and Comic Books, and Gary saw a lot of that first hand. I don't watch anything weekly any longer but Friday Night Tights is the only "show" I don't ever miss.

Men don't play with toys.

Have a piece of art, or maybe a fishing rod or gun rack behind you.

I don't even know what the hell those goddamn things cost, and if I had a guests are probably what 20 bucks a piece, but you are a complete and utter faggot for stocking a bookshelf with multitudes of them, when the bookshelf should honestly just have books.
...

I think in Gary's case, (and probably several of these folks case) it was stuff he had from his comic shop, and interests from that and that drove that pushes him that direction. I don't know, I honestly don't even notice the stuff behind these folks for the most part. Shad collects swords, its what his channel started around. Gary had a comic shop and had a bunch of that stuff in his shop and collected it. Its not "toys" per se and I get what you are saying, though.

Wow that guy 100% looks like an incel manchild with that hair and face.

Only ones I can stand now are Critical Drinker and RLM, I think because they cut some self depricating comedy into it to puncture the ridiculousness of critiquing this stuff so seriously.

Nerdrotic is the best of the rest, but I can't justify him being so pissed that the IPs of his children's toys has been ruined. The worst are the guys in masks slowly reading from scripts with a fake voice in a greenscreen spaceship.
That's rich on a MMO forum calling someone a "100% incel manchild". Also, who gives a fuck if you can justify "him being so pissed the IPs of his children's toys has been ruined"? That's a super awkward way to say that, btw. You may not have noticed but having Ideological activists hijacking and ruining almost every major IP over the last decade-ish plus is kind of a big deal. It's not just bad movies, it's Woke garbage being Trojan Horsed under the disguise of whatever IP they can get their hands on.

Marvel started tanking when they skipped over decades of great stories and went straight to "Marvel Now!" 2012 Marvel after Endgame.

You aren't wrong about Doomcock, though.

Doomcock had some stuff right for a time, but then he started going all Mike Zeroh making shit up out of thin air. It wasn't even plausible. I had to ditch his channel. Midnight's Edge to was my favorite entertainment news channel, but all they do now is read news articles.

I agree with you and I post against that shit 99% of the time.

There's just something about the level of bitterness these people have that's offputting when it's vocalised. Main culprit for me is The Quartering, I think I had an epiphany when he got beaten up that YouTube rants are effeminate and you need more going on in your life. Same vibe with Nerdrotic, I like him but I can't listen to it every day.

I'm sure it'd be the same if I ranted about WoW on YouTube.

I don't watch Quartering as much any more; he's nice/good enough but just not to my taste as much, plus the screen overlay with all his other stuff with YouTube squeezing the hell out of creators is off-putting to say the least.

I read your quote as an disparagement of being incensed about what's been done to so many IPs. If rather it was a comment about a personal dislike/tolerance of "rants", my apologies. While I consider them more critiques (surely there are occasional rants by/between participants on various YouTube/Rumble shows etc), I can appreciate not wanting to hear/participate , even vicariously, in them.

I think these communities forming around these various issues and commentators is an interesting phenomenon from a sociological perspective. If the entire field hadn't been radicalized and everyone not at least die-hard Progressive driven out of the field as an apostate, it would make for an interesting paper.

Yeah I meant the quality/tone of the videos, not the content/target of them.

I love watching an hour long take down of some woke shit and some internet drama, I've watched all of these guys in the past.

There's a line when it gets too whiny and I think it's when they have to churn out the videos to make a living instead of it being a hobby. Critical Drinker is good because he's using the platform to make his own stuff, he's also not a dysgenic lolcow freak which helps.

There's also a line where it gets too self indulgent and lazy, like Mauler having a 6 hour long Ant Man 3 video. What the fuck.

I loved that video, 4 hours well spent!

You can go long, that's why we love Red Letter Media, but it has to be substance and not a lack of scripting and editing skills.

You can make a 4 hour video with substance on woke corporate Disney Parks failing, but are we really saying Ant Man 3 is five times worse than Phantom Menance and needs five times the runtime for a takedown?

The funko pop shit is incredibly saturated. Almost every fucking streamer has them in the background. Now MeatCanyon... He has a unique studio and background. His shit is actually interesting.

Nothing says "lazy" like a 6 hour video

That is, actually, fairly lazy. At least make an attempt at editing it down into something digestable.

If they want to have a 6 hour EFAP video, that's fine if you know what you're getting. I've been warned/muted before in Non-EFAP streams when they EFAP trailers and other things and I tell them to get on with it. EFAP btw stands for Every Frame A Picture/Portrait. I like Mauler as a commentator/guest but that constant interruption of media thing he does scratches my brain not in a good way.

Edit:

If you've never actually seen an EFAP, they effectively watch the movie and every few seconds deliberately stop it and discuss whatever is on the screen. It's a thorough conversation about whatever it is in group format, which ensures its transformative, so not violating any YouTube guidelines and certainly not any way to "watch" whatever it is they are EFAPing. It's ok if you like the folks on the stream but its not for me.

Mauler was the only one to do a takedown of TFA when RLM was heaping praise on it. He bought a lot of goodwill for that reason.

Going against the RLM zeitgeist and actually taking on TFA was gods work. The TFA takedown is a classic because it involved going against the consensus of "lets praise new product" that RLM was doing at the time, while simultaneously hating on the prequels. Mauler said fuck that, TFA is getting a full line-by-line deconstruction.

For that reason Mauler earned his place.

I can get a homeless guy to ramble into a microphone for 6 hours.

"What homeless people would do if I paid them" is an interesting definition of lazy.

I agree a 6 hour video is crazy for a shitty 2 hour movie and have zero interest in ever watching it, but calling it lazy is just stupid

That's super true, and makes me want to write about the broken promise and wasted potential sequel trilogy again, before we knew the monster that Lucasfilm would become under the Disney/KK banner. Someone on X dot come was trying to defend The Last Jedi the other night; these folks never go away.

I really like Mauler overall, and appreciate his takes as I mentioned before: Top geezer, he is. I very obviously don't mind going on at length on various subjects but just personally find the continuous stop/start of the EFAP format grating. His appearances on other shows and in formats are always good.

Fake edit: There are Reddit groups for hating all of these guys? I guess I am not surprised but still.

The point I'm making is I don't understand how somebody like that can actually make a living being a complete and utter weirdo that doesn't know how to change change a tire or start a fire. I mean I kind of understand why because there are a bunch of retards out there watching and giving them that platform and making them money.

Hey, I'm weird and as Goofy as this retarded person, I'm going to make Bank on making you upset on whatever meaningless topic regarding Marvel or Star Wars or whatever dumb shit is beneficial from a monetary standpoint. Can't leave out those stupid video games! After all why would you play a video game when you can just watch somebody else play it and then talk retarded stuff the entire time!

Sorry the stuff isn't directed at you but I just hate the whole industry whether it be niche that is somehow manifested over years of stupid social media and twitch. Twitch probably being one of the biggest culprits, but it's just insane. None of these people actually know how to craft or make anything other than just a live streaming which even doesn't require any sort of editing which is a skill.

I just know when the asteroid or the civil War or whatever happens, regular people will be boiling their bones for soup...👌🏻

Who the hell is that weirdo? You can just tell he sweats pizza rolls, or does doordash food delivery or something as equally faggy.

I don't think we're his target audience, whoever the hell he is and what retarded stuff he's putting out onto YouTube.

Isn't manchild the appropriate phrase to use for something like this?
