Doug Walker/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{creator}}

** Bringing up the fact that while ''[[Twilight]]'' (before this anyway) and the [[Disney Princess|Disney Princesses]] are crappy, manipulative stereotypes, they're not destroying the minds of girls - like a lot of people say - because girls usually know full well that these are just fairy tales.

** Pointing how Meyer is insulting men for once <ref> he even said this was the first time he ever felt insulted as a man because "white men have had it pretty good"</ref> by having "the perfect man" be so horrible towards to a pregnant Bella and not wanting to give her a choice about what's in her fucking belly.

*** To add to that, he never bashes the lady-friend he saw it with. Sure, he states that he is curious about her opinion (and other people's who actually like the film), but he states it intrigued with little to no anger. He directs his anger at the right target, the movie.

** His words regarding Twilight's false belief that they are being brave by approaching abortion as badly as it did:

* It might be weird but Doug's reaction to all the fanart and fanfic about him. He was pretty much just making fun of anyone who thought he'd be creeped out by it. And judging by how Critic is pretty much the designated torture toy for the fandom, that's a nice thing for him to do.

* An oldie but a goodie, but Doug's rising anger at "Boys Beware" and the ending line:

* Doug's [[Patrick Stewart Speech]] about why he's doing a whole month of reviewing nothing but the [[Disney Animated Canon]] in his specials.

** That he's doing three reviews a day for an entire month in the first place, added onto the large amount of work we know he already has. Even [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Doug-Walker/127127037353766#!/permalink.php?story_fbid=239682056098263&id=127127037353766 he's] starting to express some panic.

** Throughout the month, he's proved Critic's [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]] belief ''totally'' only belongs to the character by arguing that often-bashed leads like Ariel, Snow White, Cinderella etc. really aren't that bad from a ''true'' feminist perspective. And his being sure to mention that this is only from a guy's POV has made the "men are only allies" crowd happy.

** Of course, the video was fake (Which is true-you can check the original channel) However, it doesn't detract any from Doug's power wordplay and that the message-while fabricated-is certainly a telling one.

*** Doug actually commented on the rising news on whether the video was fake (ummm, how do we know its fake for sure?). Doug comments that despite hearing the news, Doug holds to his belief that the grief of the boy was real and that Doug was glad things in the boy's life was improving.

* His well-reasoned arguement in his personal review of "The Secret World of Arrietty," that while not all children are going to appreciate mature movies, the likes of which [[Studio Ghibli]] and [[Pixar]] are making, they at least deserve the option.

* The mature [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Doug-Walker/127127037353766?sk=wall&filter=1#!/permalink.php?story_fbid=302435319822936&id=127127037353766 reaction] to the news that a new Garbage Pail Kids movie was coming out - that it might be good or it might be awful - putting him in firm contrast to his "end is nigh!11!!!" fans.

* Over on the DVD, the "Making Of A Nostalgia Critic" shows he really knows what he's talking about when it comes to filming, comedy and trying to make things perfect.

* Remember the Critic's list of PSA's and how he was laughing at how over the top they were? Well, [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Doug-Walker/127127037353766?v=wall#!/permalink.php?story_fbid=304947586238376&id=127127037353766 Doug gives us a good one].
