Renegade Cut just announced a followup to the “Joe Biden loving sucks” video, a three episode series dunking on other terrible candidates, starting with Bloomberg. Pretty hype, myself.

i have never cared for him because he isnt that good of media critic in my opinion but id be curious to see that because i think he has pretty good politics.

I think he's a good critic, it just gets lost in his somewhat wooden delivery. His feature-length video on the Left Behind series was fantastic.

i dont think he is a bad dude. he can come off as kinda stand offish prickly which i can understand with the internet being what it is also he ranges a little into "thing bad" territory for my taste, i guess i prefer the lighter stuff like lindseys and your stuff compared to his. i prefer some light humor and exploration to deconstructing dumb/interesting stuff than the stiff school master who doesn't tolerate questions.

You're right. It makes me look like an rear end in a top hat (tbf, not untrue) and doesn't do anything to help Todd.

Todd's a good guy. Dany's good, too. You should listen to their podcast. Take those tweets with a grain of salt. I can't go into details because it's all private stuff that can't be shared without dragging in a bunch of people who would rather not be dragged in. That's probably what I should have said in the first place (barring the fact that I shouldn't have said anything), but I didn't, so here we are.

yes this is what you should've said, "I can't go into details because it's all private stuff that can't be shared without dragging in a bunch of people who would rather not be dragged in" would still be met with justified suspicion, but it's better and more understandable than your initial one which literally no one here is going to side with because it sounded like something a chud says about metoo

I think FoldableHuman has been a cool dude in most every interaction I've seen with him online and in his videos.

Yeah, it reminded me of early witcher writing somewhat but a lot less clever because the witcher has book backings. New spiders writing is fine their stories never go anywhere and kinda just wrap up or drop threads all over the place. It doesn’t help that everything is super dice roll based and it stacks against the player. It’s like a metroidvania of dialogue choices but you can never go backwards.

I honestly feel like so much of their hate for the sequel trilogy has been really manufactured. It's their "brand" to hate on Star Wars at this point, so they do it to bring in the numbers. A lot of their complains have felt incredibly forced, and often they'll criticize things that are explained clearly in the film.

Maybe this is a stretch, but their constant "this is just a needless cash grab with with no thought" diatribes feel either deeply hypocritical, or actively projecting because they're doing the same thing.

i think they have some points but i sorta of agree. i think the disney movies have been a mixed bag, tfa is good but super safe and too many mystery boxes. Rogue one has some good moments but its characters feel like FPS game characters but shallower, TLJ has some great moments but is dragged down by a whole ton of poo poo and basicaly split the fan base and solo was fun but unneeded. all of them are better than the prequels though and i kinda prefer some of new canon to old canon. i like the mandalorian alot though.

i am just sick of the extreames of TLJ stuff. its either stupidly super positive and nothing it did was wrong and if you disliked it at all your a chud and its a classic that NEEDED to be made, like this dumb poo poo which makes some basic good points but lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWqVJZMh6-w

or you get the 7 hour screeds and literaly kids books about how Rian and kathy killed my childhood and its the worst ever OR even worse you get the chud type reviews.

I'm just tired of star wars as "event" media and that is on Disney. They distilled the FOMO phenomenon with their Marvel movies and then applied it to Star Wars and it's just exhausting. Yeah every star wars movie before Disney was also an event film but since the Disney manufacturing machine started pushing every big franchise film as a must see once-in-a-lifetime event it has sapped the fun out of it all. I shouldn't feel obligated to go watch movies in the theater but watching Disney products is more like a job than a pastime. I'm probably not going to watch another Marvel movie in theaters that isn't Guardians related now that I've watched Endgame and I doubt I'll be able to muster up the enthusiasm to do another Star Wars in theaters after episode 9.

Thank god The Mandalorian isn't pushing itself as another game of thrones watercooler show and it's just doing its own thing as an adventure of the week SF Western with good production values. It doesn't ask as much of an investment from the audience and it is goddamn refreshing by simply being a fun tv show I can tune into when I feel like it.

Maybe my RLM knowledge is not deep enough but this doesn't really feel true.

Are you thinking of any specific videos? I remember kind of a running gag about family and maybe one about subverting expectations but never much more than an offhand comment and nothing I'd call exhausting.

this. Marvel worked because it was different enough from each other and it was built up over 10 years and it worked well enough. i am just happy skywalker saga will be done(for now) because i like stuff like the mandalorian and the low key fun tv shows and stuff. it has filled at the state of the univese so much better than the movies have.
