Applied Phlebotinum Blog/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{quote| '''Clawshrimpy:''' Got that out of our system? No need to retreat to any hackned internet memes, or anything like that? After all, we know that [[Mobile Suit Gundam|red robots move 3 times faster]], we know that [[Zeta Gundam|Captain Quattro, he is A CHAR]], we know why [[Macross|Roy Fokker won't be able to enjoy his Pineapple Salad]], we know why [[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar|not to go into random bathroom stalls]], because [[Macross Plus|I was the asshole all these years, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS]], and [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH]]. Dang that was meta as hell, though [[Code Geass|obviously falling short of Rolo]].}}

* [[MST3K Mantra]]: Clawshrimpy deconstructs this trope, in the sense that he tries to encourage people to think about what's going on in a given plot, rather than accept whatever crazy thing is being done, and not blindly accept it because "Well it's a show with [[Humongous Mecha]], it doesn't need to make sense!" which is what Clawshrimpy tended to be harsh on Gurren Lagann for, in his mind, "stretching [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]] too far, even for [[Super Robot]]" and it's why his commentary was so biting reguarding silly plot points like most things Azrael and Patrick Zala does in [[Gundam Seed]]. the [[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar]] review however, plays it straight, with Clawshrimpy trying to respond to the people who call [[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar]] bad because of it's [[Monster of the Week]] "kiddie" nature, and Clawshrimpy tries to point out it DOES have strong [[Character Development]] and has some merit in terms of writing.
