NM is a sad classic case of fame getting to his head, wish he’d go back to the old days and look at his old EMH videos and Marble Hornets, but since he’s still having success by pumping out the content he makes now, I’m sure things will get to be lower and lower effort.
It’s a bit of a nitpick, but it’s so weird that he’s still using the same opening because, in all honesty, it looks kinda cheap. The transparent stock overlay of an old TV turning on over a google image search word background, with the NM imposing over it? Just based on some of his other overlays, and the fact that he can probably afford it, you’d think it’d be well time for an upgrade because admittedly it doesn’t have much character.
The new “wood background” as a whole lacks any personality in general, and there’s so many minor things that can be done to make it pop a bit more, he still has purple theming on his channel and character, so why not make the wood have like, purple veins that glow occasionally? If you’re trying to be a big YouTuber, branding is everything, and he really just doesn’t try to do that which is pretty lazy. Especially considering how easy it is to just commission someone, but in all honesty the money is probably going towards furry art instead of improving his channel.
I guess the mediocrity of it fits his latest videos, which again is a shame.
