Dethroning Moment of Suck (Darth Wiki)/Web Original/That Guy With The Glasses: Difference between revisions

 

== [[The Amazing Atheist|The Distressed Watcher]] ==

* Baronobeefdip: While I'm indifferent towards [[The Amazing Atheist|The Distressed Watcher]] and I do admit to find his videos to be [[Guilty Pleasures]], I did find one DMOS in one of his earlier "Trailer Failure" videos. Long story short, during his talk about the movie ''[[Legion]]'', he pretty much stops talking about the movie itself (IE: The actors, the plot, the effects, etc.) to rant about religion for five straight minutes just because Legion is a movie with a religious theme (IE: God sending angels to wipe out humanity). Look, I'm an Atheist myself, but I don't complain like a crazed loon whenever something contains any sort of religious reference. It's like someone complaining that there's robots in a [[Terminator]] movie. Just...really? ''Really''?

* Ipdf3. Speaking of the Distressed Watcher. I find that his material had been decreasing in quality but it didn't truly get bad until Lolita Covers. You'd expect DW to handle something as controversial as Lolita with his trademark anger and provocative analytic style, but no it's just a rather tepid "Hey look at these book covers. They're all different, isn't that mildly interesting?" It's just boring commentary about not very interesting things. Plus, his summary of Lolita made it sound like he'd never actually read the book but instead only read the first few lines off the back of the cover and then watched the movies. The book makes no attempt to condemn the actions of its protagonist? Maybe that's because the [[Unreliable Narrator|protagonist is also the narrator]], of course he's not going to condemn himself. The opening of the book even makes it clear that Humbert Humbert has addressed his novel to the "ladies and gentleman of the jury." This kind of sloppy research and new commenting rather than reviewing style really doesn't work for DW and I hope he goes back to his old style soon.

* stacey: His comment on how everyone who enjoyed [[Transformers (Film)|Transformers]] 2 belongs in a death camp. Because that's really a sensible thing to say there's Jewish people on a site you belong to and when the guy who got you on in the first place has it as a [[Guilty Pleasure]]. What an asshole.

* [[Tropers/Donna|Donna]]: That open letter to Kevin Smith about "Cop-Out" being worse than the death of his father. How on earth did he think that anyone would find that funny?

* [[Tropers/Jenx|Jenx]]: While I generally don't watch most of DW's videos, I did watch his two part review of Dungeons and Dragons The Movie and my god was this bad. Not only did the first part consist of "Maaaan, does this seem racist to you? No ooookaaaay" which was kinda funny the first time and then it just became annoying the several other times he did it after that, or the badly delivered "get it rod = dick!" jokes. Let's not even talk about the insistence to sticking to the tired old stereotype that people who play [[RP Gs]] are socially awkward dorks, or the fact that he obviously has close to no actual understanding of Dungeons and Dragons. I was almost willing to leave all that slide, until the second part. What pissed me off probably more than it should have was his slimy, ripe with cheap sarcasm "apology" for the all the jokes I listed from the first part. I can not stand people who talk that, regardless of what they are talking about. I've stopped watching all of his videos completely from that point onward.

== [[Todd in The Shadows]] ==

* bobdrantz: Normally, I like [[Todd in The Shadows]]. I find his reviews to be pretty enjoyable. And, even though I disagree with some of his opinions, I usually can respect them. But, his two-part review of Katy Perry's "Firework" and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. It sounded more like he was bashing the songs for being "inspirational" rather than the music content themselves. And, even going so far as to say that Katy Perry would be too arrogant to understand what it's like to be an "outcast". Look, I'm not a big fan of Katy Perry, but, I'm sure even SHE would know what it's like to have self-esteem issues. Being famous does not make one any more or less vulnerable to low self-esteem than anyone else. He also makes it sound like insperiational songs are only for teenage girls with image issues. Because, ya know [[Sarcasm Mode|it's not like there are people of all demographics who have felt awful about themselves in one way or another. No, clearly these songs are only for teen girls who think they're]] [[Hollywood Pudgy|too fat.]]

* fluffything: I happen to be a fan of [[Todd in The Shadows]] as well, but even I couldn't sit through the entire review for Bruno Mars' "Lazy Song". The main reason being that he spends several minutes complaining about what he calls "White boys playing accoustic guitar" songs and stating that people only write/sing "mellow" songs to "get laid". Listen, Todd, I like your videos, I find them to be entertaining. But, I want to know what you think of whatever specific hit single is out on the pop charts, not hear you whine about some genre you happen to dislike. Second, um, isn't "getting laid" one of the reasons why a lot of people write/sing songs for pretty much any genre?

* Mimimurlough: His treatment of [[Lady Gaga]]'s Alejandro was bad, but to date nothing can really top the double standard he put on Born this way. After years of reviewing artists who rubs their very (and sometimes aggressively) heterosexual desires in our faces, he looks at what is possibly the first mainstream song that is dedicated to LGBT people and calls it pandering? Apparently not even members of the community can acknowlege that it even exists in their works without getting berated for it.

* [[Tropers/Sick Brit Kid|Sick Brit Kid]]: While I normally like [[Benzaie]] and his charming, snarky French attitude, his video "TOP 5: Why Zelda Twilight Princess SUCKS" was just downright stupid(it was nothing but petty nitpicks that were used against the game a full FIVE YEARS ago when it came out), ignorant([[Hypocrite|Really, Benzaie? You're gonna rail against Twilight Princess for having items that aren't used outside of the dungeons you acquire them in... Even though that showed up in Ocarina of Time, which you shill on endlessly? Or you're gonna bitch about the final item being another Clawshot and how much that sucks...despite the longshot from Ocarina of Time basically just being a longer hookshot]]? Oh, and you're also gonna rail on the game's graphics, completely ignoring the fact that it was made for the Gamecube and then ported to the Wii?), and just came off like he was trying to bait fans of Twilight Princess into flaming him and get a whole bunch of views by either the TP fans who came to debate and/or flame him and the TP haters who came to defend his points of view. All in all, it was one of the worst game reviews since X-Play's Your Childhood Sucked: Final Fantasy 7.

* fluffything: While ''[[Suburban Knights]]'' has been pretty middle-ground in terms of entertaiment (Some parts are genuinely funny where as others are, well, not), I find the scene with the mother complaining her kid can't play on the playground while Spoony's team is battling to be one of the most poorly-written scenes in the special so far. The woman playing the mother is a terrible actress, the gag feels forced and unfunny, and there's really no reason for it to happen other than for some poorly-written gag to occur. Also, the girl playing the woman's daughter is a horrible actress. She just keeps smiling and giggling for no reason at all and it's very distracting.

* [[Tropers/Plasma|Plasma]]: The entire Santa-Christ section of the six-part film, Kickassia, was complete rubbish! Aside from having about 3 jokes in the 15 minutes of time dedicated to him, it was also used as an excuse for a very over-extended sequence of cameos just saying "I believe in Santa-Christ" culminating in a very predictable parody of those kind of things. And then he just comes back anyway, for no reason (enforcing [[Status Quo Is God]] in the process) and acts as a blatant [[Deus Ex Machina]].

* fluffything: Normally, I like ''[[What the Fuck Is Wrong With You]]'' and I find Nash (and Tara) to be pretty funny. But, good gods of bacon do I have a problem with the ending of the ''Regret At Leisure'' episode. Three words: [[Fan Hater|Arlo's Pony Paradise]]. This isn't a good-natured joke at the series itself. No, it's a mean-spirited [[Take That]] towards the fandom. It basically boils down to "Bronies (and Pegasisters) are stupid for taking a cartoon geared towards little girls seriously!". And, yes, that is Nash's actual opinion on the fandom. Look, if you don't like a show, fine. But being a total dick towards a fandom you don't like. Just because they like to discuss the mythos and everything in a serious and mature discusion doesn't make them stupid.
