Bob Chipman / Robert Lewis Chipman / MovieBob / Game OverThinker - "Coastal Elite Thinker" who wants conservatives, Christians and manual workers eradicated. Universally ignorant; cannot tell reality from sci-fi. Sore loser with short fuse. Odious Disney shill. Tranny chaser and general creep. Fat and diabetic.

Work from home is still work. If someone is not allowed to sneak out and do groceries when he is in the office, he is not allowed to do so working from home. I think in that case you should inform his supervisor, that so-and-so is unable to respond to requests or render prompt service when he WFH.

If enough employees are unable to exercise basic work discipline (or, in Millennial parlance, to  adult, this is a very good reason that WFH is to stop.

Yeah, I've never met someone who just walked away from their desk for two hours. Now I know guys who absolutely have their Switch in their hands during down times, but in the case where someone wants to go away from their desk, they usually wait until their lunch break, or arrange with the supervisor to stay back a little later, start earlier, or just do lunch at a different time.

Speaking of which, I wonder how Bob would have handled a white collar office job. Sure, he would have been fired, but since he only ever worked retail he probably assumes every place is exactly like Office Space.

I only occasionally look in on Bob, and I'm a bit surprised to see that he's still tirelessly battling the fans of Zack Snyder. Is this his new Console 'Nam, transposed from video games to his current big passion of superhero movies? It gets a bit diluted in all the garbage he spews out every day, but I think this is some of the best evidence that, deep underneath the fat, he really still is that same spergy kid who burbled about how Mario beats Sonic any day in the school playground 30 years ago.

Kinda funny given how he used to like Zack Snyder and his work back in the days. Still at least he did not lose his shit over Man of Steel like some people back in the days despite the fact that like with Godzilla and Batman Bob Chipman seems to be exceptionally allergic to more grounded or darker(even if only visually) versions of said material.

What is this performative bullshit Bob is doing of pretending to care about Ash and Pikachu's story ending?

We know he doesn't give a shit about Pokemon.

Ash should have won back in the X&Y anime days, but he got cucked out of it. This time, he had a team that works out pretty well and he won the championship, thus ending his run. It's a good ending for him.

I'm going to paraphrase (because fuck me, I'm not going to spend hours trying to find one specific video by Bob that he made almost a decade ago), but back when "The Dark Knight Returns" had yet to be released, he uploaded a video and in it, he said something to the effect of "I hope that Batman has a kid sidekick (Robin) and Ace the Bathound (showing a visual of a hound literally wearing a cape and cowl) because that's how I roll".

While there's nothing wrong with occasionally engaging in material meant for younger audiences (sometimes you just want to have fun), Bob's inability, not dislike of darker material or preference for lighter material, but his complete inability to deal with heavier subject matter that doesn't validate his worldview is pretty indicative of his arrested development. There's a reason he's so obsessed with Mario and won't even try to engage in games actually meant for his age range.

Also, I find it funny that he tries to shame people for being tired of the MCU. While I won't call him a hypocrite for having a certain opinion nearly a decade ago (after all, people can change their minds or preferences later in life), he did, at one point, was getting sick of a glut of Batman material that came out in a short amount of time, claiming that "I'm full!" and "Hollywood needs to stop making Batman for a bit!" Never mind that he was only talking about adaptions (because there's no way Bob regularly reads comics, which is making new Batman constantly since Detective Comics #27) or that other people might not be "full" and are happy for more Batman. No, if Bob is tired of Batman, then Batman should go away for a bit.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it's kind of funny he doesn't see the irony. Then again, maybe he wasn't fully in consoomer mode yet when he made the Batman comment.

I think he cares about Pokemon in the sense that it's a Nintendo property.

Maybe it's just a symptom of Bob's all-consuming fear of his own mortality.

Anything ending that's been around for a large portion of his life, even if he doesn't much care for it, makes him sad.

I thank you for mentioning this because it reminds me of something Bob wrote a while ago.

Now, I can't find it because it was probably removed from the site after Bob was booted for being an anti-Gamergate sperg, but Bob used to write columns for The Escapist every so often in addition to his videos discussing media and reviewing movies.

Anyway, he was railing against people who grew up with a franchise and, as they get older, wish the franchise would mature to fit the audience it attracted. I'm not sure if this actually ever happens, but Bob was against such an idea, or even an alternate, more mature spin-off and/or alternative continuity because in his own words "Asking characters to grow up with their audience is also asking them to die with them". In other words, Ash needs to always be a kid and always doing Pokemon stuff so that Pokemon is truly for kids for all of time. Or, something dumb like that. He's one of those guys who likes the status quo in his media because changing things too much risks the world being capable of changing in the same way ours does. I forgot where but I know he's made the argument that if a franchise started out for kids, then it needs to stay for kids, regardless of how even the creator might think.

Slightly off-topic but potentially related to your post, if you have eight minutes, take a listen to this guy as he rambles about episodic TV shows. I take most of what I hear about opinions with a grain of salt, but what he's describing sounds an awful lot like Movie Bob.

TLDR: You're right, things that Bob grew up with changing or ending make him sad because he's a manchild who can't deal with his own mortality. I'm sure he's ranted against those evil conservatives holding back science and preventing him from attaining his sweet, sweet biological immortality more than a few times.

See, now this is why I didn't watch stuff like Rugrats, Ed Edd & Eddy, hell most cartoons involving "status quo is God" AND regular human situations (with standard cartoon goofiness) that had no way-out-fantasy/sci-fi aspect. I did watch Dexter's Lab, because it was funny as shit. IDK if Bob watched those/those kinds of shows.

Funny thing, though. While shows like Transformers (which Bob is a fan of) and He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe were technically episodic (apart from a few continuations that weren't technically two-parters), they didn't operate like the episodic shows this Luke guy is describing. Stuff isn't undone at the end of the episode in that manner. However, Transformers in particular had a LOT of continuity errors (for instance 3 different Constructicon origins throughout the course of the series! This was due to various writers not knowing what the other writers were doing 99% of the time) I wonder if this phenomenon, however, is indicative of the source of Bob's object impermanence/"Canon Doesn't Matter" stance.

There's a place for both. Like, I sometimes don't mind campy Adam West Batman (though, personally I'm a big fan of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns). It's one thing to say "I prefer campy Batman to darker Batman, but I can recognize that this movie is well-made" but instead Bob has a fucking meltdown if the filmmaker's interpretation of superheroes doesn't match his own. Because obviously, his is superior.

I remember a video, I can't remember which one, where Bob was saying that the Simpsons never really has to end. That the characters can just keep being reinterpreted forever, even after the main show is over.

I really think it's all just a big cope for him, because he's so rageful that he has to die one of these days.

Given his rate and scale of McDonalds consumption I've no doubts Bob has shaved quite a few years off.

Hey, remember this absolute mongoloid take on the "death" of PC gaming from 11 years ago.

Just point to this whenever Bob acts like he knows anything.

I wonder if that's part of the reason he hates Harry Potter. The series had Harry grow up until he was a legal adult throughout the books (Which Bob was never going to read anyway) and movies, and mature and learn throughout his experiences. He probably thinks Rowling was an idiot to do that and if he was able to do a reboot, he'd just leave Harry as an eleven-year-old throughout its run.

If it's the video I'm thinking of, he also justified the Simpsons staying on the air because the current season (This video was made in 2014 or so, so season 25 I think) was superior to the 90s golden era, we're all just too nostalgic to understand that.

Probably because back in the day, Fox forced Groening and the other writers to be more even about their politics jokes whereas eventually they were allowed to only attack Republicans. Also, Bob got bullied in the 90s and so hates anything from then.

It would also explain some of why he hates the "golden age of tv", and "prestige dramas."

Those shows actually have plots that lead somewhere, and eventually conclude.

Bob doesn't want that. He wants The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers, and not much else.

Did he really say that? That's wild if he really believes that.

I can definitely see Bob as one of those people who thinks Office Space (and before it was unpersoned, Dilbert) is brilliant while never having worked in any of the jobs being satirized. "So true, so so true," Bob chuckles to himself in his basement apartment sitting at his Workstation™.

Wow, I gotta give it to the right-wing ghouls then, they have some sort of mind bending powers, because the people I see going after Wendig are a bunch of libs and hard lefties with all sorts of pronouns and flags.

And no, no one gives a shit about Wendig because of Star Wars, barely anyone ever read his books or comics, and he has been out of the franshise for more than 5 years now.

People dislike Wendig because he is an insuffurable asshole, who easly gets pissy at everything and then gets to shit over twitter, only to get even more rancid at any push back he gets over there.

And this is what happened with the internet archive, Wendig woke up one day, found out that the residuals of his books were less than he expected and saw that some of his books are there over IA in audio formate (with very few downloads) and decided to bitch about it against a article, not thinking for a second the size of the hornets nest he was kicking.

The publishers did it's thing and went after IA, while Wendig got the backlash and backed down, repeteating again and again how he didn't want for the lawsuit to happen and even had the nerve to use "minority authors" as a shield, arguing that it wasn't about his books he was concerned, but for those small time diversity authors that wouldn't get support if their books were on IA.

And now we get this shit show. Wendig will be back, he is a twitter addict like Robert here, and the mob will move on as there is always fresh blood on the app, and it isn't like Wendig's rep can get any worse, he is one of the most dislike people on this side of the internet.

Just find funny Robert defending this asshole... kindred spirits perhaps?

 

[blablabla]

retardo takes about foreign issues are even more pants shitting mongoloid than his opinions on whatever the fuck pop culture dreck he open his pig mouth about

 

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Wendig often finds himself getting shit on by people because he's a fundamentally unlikable shitheel. Just like you, Bob.

Yet it is totally progressive to make Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy lesbians, or have Batman eat Catpussy.

Exactly like what Bobby and Lesser Brother did when they totally didn't meant to get someone fired. Alpha males are alpha in their own ways, but omega males are all alike.
