TGWTG Eric Rodriguez / E-Rod2010 / The Blockbuster Buster - Edgy Nostalgia Critic Fanboy/Knockoff

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I think the fact that I have no idea what he’s supposed to be doing or representing in his videos as this “voice and hero of the fanboys” encapsulates how much I feel ERod has lost anything resembling the plot. Whatever the point of his “character persona” is, I don’t get it. I just don’t get it.
That's assuming he knows what the plot is in the first place. I've always just taken it as this being his ultimate power fantasy. He's got all the powers of the heroes he needs and ultimately wins in the end because... reasons.

And it’s been said he just rips off Linkara. But while Linkara faces threats to the universe and reality and whatever featuring Missingno was, ERod’s sworn enemies are….shitty movies and TV shows. Riveting.

Nah he also fights generic evil counterpart, other losers who also want to be "The Blockbuster Buster", and George Lucas along with other stock villains like what Linkara fights
 
Constantly trying to weasel his way into collabs with other producers and to my knowledge the only ones he did were with Lewis and Doug.

Actually, the first one to cameo in his show, after E-Rod joined the site, was Angry Joe in Top 10 Hispanic Heroes.

His entire 'persona' was "What are Doug, Lewis, and everyone else I like doing? Okay, I'll just copy that". But while Doug took inspiration from Angry Video Game Nerd, he was able to do his own thing that got popular. Erod just copies without understanding why things work.

Exactly. He is modeled after Doug's Angry Critic persona, but unlike Doug, he had little to offer, even less today. By the time he joined the site, the angry critics were a dying breed, and Doug was planning his Demo Reel transition.

I will always love the line from CinematicVenom "DId anyone even like this guy?! He had to beg to be on CA, he had to beg to be at a convention and he had to be to be in movies/reviews"

He basically lobbied to join the site, begging his audience to vote for his entry to ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. And after he joined, he took a huge brake, like a true Chad.

11 years, 18k subs and most videos get around 2k views. I hope he does something else for a living, as if he's just relying off this income that's pretty sad.

He still has his Angelfire site linked in his channel, it looks like something from 2002, complete with a guestbook and view count

Pretty sure he said he had some sort off job, because a few times he rambled about taking off time from work to do his reviewer shit or something like that.

He claims to work in movies but strictly behind the scenes. But then he's also said that he's taught classes on movie making.

So really it's anybody's guess what he does for really reals. Most likely he's the guy the gets the coffee, sweeps up and stands in for the stars when they're doing lighting tests and everything. In other words a nobody.

Imagine being taught movie making by E-Rod, that would be like DSP giving a lecture on managing a budget. I really hope he shows them footage of him destroying DVDs with his magic hammer as an example.
 
ERod went to bat for his boy. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1481766600655130626.html

Also, found a video where he talks about being shot in the head.

Yeah, anybody who says E-Rod is on the same level as George Carlin is either high, insane or lying.

Carlin was a philosopher who said funny things. He held up a mirror to the world and said, "this shit is stupid and you're stupid for supporting it". He made you laugh and he made you think.

E-Rod has never done any of those things.

No they either have to be mentally retarded, a child, or yeah lying

Especially since E-Rod is a grown man who just enacts his power fantasies in videos and can't move on
 
I do feel sorry for his loss of wife, because as much as we are making fun of his work as well as online/offline persona, she was by his side, supporting him. Even if she knew deep down in her heart that his Blockbuster Buster Show was crap, she was with him till the end. RIP!

Edit: Her wiki page, he is probably the moderator or admin, because its updated, even with her time of passing:

She passed away at 5:18PM January 23rd 2022

I could always tell something was wrong with him. I just thought he was kinda retarded.
Oh fuck that's rough. He might be a complete spaz and his wife looked like a meth-head but... jeez feel bad man.
There really is someone for everyone I guess. I do feel bad for him though. Everyone hates the last couple years, but losing a spouse during it would just break me.
