The Nostalgia Chick/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Is the Chick a hypocritical [[Know-Nothing Know-It-All]] who abuses people constantly to make herself feel better and is just as messed up as the Critic, or an intelligent, calm [[Closer to Earth]] feminist? There are enough people who believe either choice.

* [[Arc Fatigue]]: To some fans (that being why it's on this page) "The Dark Nella Saga" just kept going and going and going... (Well, it ''is'' a [[Fridge Brilliance|saga]].) But the problem was probably less the length of the arc itself - seven episodes, probably edging on three hours, all told - and more how an arc that seemed like it would be played out over a few weeks took two and a half months to release.

* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]:

** The "[[Elton John|Candle in the Wind]]" parody Lindsay sang after Nella's "death."

** Nella's road trip-style summary of ''[[Showgirls]]''.

** Lindsay leading her friends in a performance of ''[[Newsies]]''' "Seize the Day."

** Lindsay, [[Jew Wario]], [[Obscurus Lupa]], Elisa, Nella, [[The Nostalgia Critic|Critic]], [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]], [[Todd in the Shadows]], [[Paw Dugan]], [[Brows Held High|Oancitizen]] and [[Phelous]] singing "One Day More" is genuinely chilling.

** Elisa, [[Pushing Up Roses]], [[Marz Gurl]], [[Obscurus Lupa]], and the Chick all show that they have lovely voices in their rendition of "[[The Little Mermaid|Part of Your World]]."

** Despite her love for [[Soundtrack Dissonance]], she's also pretty good for choosing song lyrics that go well with the situation. "How can he tell her he loves her [-] he would give his heart gladly" when Critic [[Cannot Spit It Out]], "baby come back, you can blame it all on me" when they've both left, Nella (who wants to be left how she is) is shut up by the Makeover Fairy when she tries to sing the start of Mein Herr from ''[[Cabaret]]'' and the end of ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]'' has a self-loathing tribute to alcohol.

* [[Base Breaker]]: See [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] below. Check the comments for many videos Nella appears in and you'll find plenty that lament her getting screen time.

Line 35:

** P-Cash was pretty much the only thing in the infamous "Rape Rap" video that got a consistently positive reaction.

** The [[Sex Bot]] went away for a long time, but was loved and now is in a lot more episodes.

** If the Nella & Elisa double-act keeps getting bigger, they could be a [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]].

** Elisa has actually gotten her own show: Maven of the Eventide. She's come a long way from the Makeover Fairy.

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: The Chick's [[Slasher Smile]] when she's being evil is both adorable and utterly terrifying.

** It seems to be unanimous amongst fangirls and fanboys alike; Dark Nella is ''hot''.

** We also have Dr. Tease, The Makeover Fairy and even Brian The Sexual Predator has his fans when he wears a leather jacket.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: Her fans can be extremely clingy at times. On the forums, the personal nature of her FAQ thread drove her away and it took a while before they got that she wasn't coming back to answer any more questions.

Line 65:

** "And besides, who's going to be interested in a female character who's pretty shamelessly a knock-off of her already popular male counterpart?" Seeing how fricking huge the character sheet is, evidently quite a lot of people.

** She introduced a character named "Lord [[MacGuffin]]". In Pixar's ''[[Brave]]''...

** Her first [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/21361-stop-worrying-and-love-the-kesha episode] related to the music industry was released about the same time her future IRL [[Todd in the Shadows|boyfriend]] came onto the site.

* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Nella, especially in the ''[[Grease]]'' review. Many [[Comically Missing the Point|Comically Missed the Point]] and treated her like a [[The Woobie|woobie]], not listening to the fact that Nella wrote that sideplot ''herself'' and is perfectly happy with her appearance.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Actually a Les Yay with BFF Nella:

{{quote|'''Nella:''' [Suggesting the Chick dates the Critic] I think you should go out ... of this apartment ... Away from me ... People are starting to talk. The [[Fun T-Shirt|shirts]] don't help.<br />

[The shirts read [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}yzhB0gF5GTI&NR{{=}}1 "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take?"] on Nella and "I (heart) my ([[If You Know What I Mean|"kitten"]]) on the Chick.] }}

** [[That Guy With The Glasses/Ho Yay|There's far more instances of this at the TGTWTG Ho Yay page]]. Particularly worthy of mention is the Chick and Nella re-enacting the Benn Affleck/Liv Tyler "animal crackers" scene from ''[[Armageddon]]''.

** Also with MarzGurl in "Linking up with Linkara", although that was a prank.

* [[I Knew It!]]: A few fics guessed correctly that she would rape Spoony to get revenge on him for hurting her, and in "Rejected Ideas For 'Spooning With Spoony'", she seems to do it.

Line 86:

* [[Narm Charm]]: The last half of the "Kirk vs. Picard video", where Chick and Nella meet to do battle, is ''gloriously'' cheesy.

* [[Nausea Fuel]]: During her review of ''[[Mulan]]'', Lindsey and Nella wonder about the Chinese practice of footbinding, then later show us some horrifying pictures of bound feet (*shudder*). "Say what you want about Communism, but at least they put a stop to that shit!"

** The ''[[Freddy Got Fingered]]'' review in all its entirety. Aside from the content of the movie itself, we have the Chick, Nella, and [[Oancitizen]] [[Go Mad ~~From~~ the Revelation|being driven to madness by the movie]]. It involves sausage among other things.

* [[Never Live It Down]]: Even though it was [[Lost Forever|taken off the site]] quickly, the "Rapping About Rape" video and all the drama surrounding it.

** Her [[Refuge in Audacity]] "worse than seven holocausts" comment seems to be getting there too.

Line 100:

** So did her review of the ''[[Transformers]]'' franchise. In a self-parody, [[The Nostalgia Critic]] bitched at her for that one too.

** Inevitably, fans of the ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' weren't too keen on her hate for it.

** Apparently ''[[Disney]]'' fangirls can be just as savage as fanboys, because they got their claws out when she ''reviewed'' ([[Fan Dumb|not panned, we might add]]) ''[[Mulan]]'' and slammed ''[[Hercules (~~Disney~~ film)|Hercules]]''

** Apparently ''[[Disney]]'' fangirls can be just as savage as fanboys, because they got their claws out when she ''reviewed'' ([[Fan Dumb|not panned, we might add]]) ''[[Mulan]]'' and slammed ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]''

*** Notably, Lindsay's actual opinion of Hercules sums up to "It was flawed, but I DO enjoy it."

** People who liked ''[[Dragonheart]]'' for more than just the "fucking dragon", bitched heavily after her review of it too.

** Not everyone agrees with her view that ''[[Shrek]]'' was a hate-filled [[Take That]] at Disney.

** Early on, ''[[Gargoyles]]'' fans weren't exactly happy when she acted like two well-established [[Tear Jerker]] moments in the show were unintentionally hilarious instead.

** As you can tell from this page alone, she made her rage at ''[[Beauty and ~~The~~ Beast The Enchanted Christmas]]'' abundantly clear. The movie was actually received quite well, so at the very least people were confused by her calling it worse than "seven holocausts".

** During her review of ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask]]'' she said the only reason the movie did well was because of squeeing [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] fangirls. People who liked the movie as a movie were not pleased.

** During her review of ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]]'' she said the only reason the movie did well was because of squeeing [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] fangirls. People who liked the movie as a movie were not pleased.

** ''[[The Fifth Element]]''. Many people think she really misrepresented this film, especially when she didn't show Leeloo kicking ass so she could complain about her being [[The Chick]].

** Really, the Chick is subject to this far more often than the Critic, since she tends to review films that are usually rather well-liked, such as... Well, ''[[Mulan]]'', ''[[Hercules (~~Disney~~ film)|Hercules]]'' and ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'', while the Critic reviews, well... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxHNztg0X3s This]. She explains this in the ''Worst Witch'' review, as people tend to be more forgiving towards the popular films rather the obscure.

** Many fans of ''Jem'' were very angry at Lindsy for her panning the series, the biggest complaint came from her not even bothering to watch the series entirely before she reviewed it.

** Although she didn't actually REVIEW it, she put a small [[Take That]] to [[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|Liloand Stitch]] as [[They Just Didn't Care|"Slapped together garbage" that "didn't have as much passion put into it"]] as [[The Lion King]] in her review of The Lion King.

* [[He Really Can Act (Sugar Wiki)|She Really Can Act]]: Nella in the Dark Nella Saga. Funny, genuinely scary and able to go to between "a quasi-demonic force of evil" and her usual fangirly self.

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Nella and Elisa have gained more prominence in her newer reviews.
