Turning red implies kids had a modern smart phone culture back in 2002. Cellphones were still rare for students until the late 2000s. Maybe around 2007? Heck, turning red kids act like they have a modern meme culture. They aren't written like kids from the early 2000s or the 90s. Turning red not only implies sexting was wide spread in the early 2000s. Kinda try to glorify it along with twerking in a kids movie.

Spot on.
Enter's critic could've been real good without that goofy-ass 9/11 thing.
There's no point in claiming that X property happens in year XXXX if it's not a period piece, because it's not going to be relevant to the story. Turning Red isn't a period piece. Doing a period piece means doing actual research, which means it requires more effort.

Another thing that isn't often mentioned is that the movie is apparently set in Toronto, Ontario, but it feels nothing like Toronto, much less early 2000s Toronto. The movie could have taken place in any major city really.

If they really wanted to set this film visually in the early 2000s, they had several options: using the 2000s Pixar design philosophy for their characters instead of the generic "beanmouth" modern art style, heavily desaturating the colorimetry (this was a trend of the 2000s), going for an even stronger Anime-inspired look (Anime became really huge in America in the 2000s), using trashy pop-rock slop on their soundtrack, maybe having some emo-like character

Yeah come to think of it, that WOULD be weird. Maybe with ultra rich kids in like Beverly Hills or NYC but a working or middle class family? Nah. And that even just looks like a glorified telephone which wasn't a thing and actually getting reception for it? Don't make me laugh! I didn't get a flip phone until my late teen years in 2007. My classmates only had flip phones and most of them were from very well-off families. I didn't see mass numbers of "ordinary" kids getting their own phones at that middle school age until like 2010.

Again, not another bad video. Also for those that haven’t watched until the end or aren’t planning on watching it, the first HGS vid comes out on Monday.

And what do you know, Monday is behind us and we haven’t gotten the HGS vid.

Work was slow on the Enter documentary because of two issues - lack of visuals, and lack of a clear database of information. Piecing together a story through guerilla research on archive.org is possible, but you'll always miss shit that was hidden in some unrelated journal. I realized that I'd essentially have to create my own artwork, animation, or visualization for 80% of each episode if I went through with it - and in the end I'd have to go back and fix things anyway. That being said, Enter's story is still more than interesting enough to sustain a project of this magnitude, in my opinion. Since I don't want to spend 6 months minimum on every episode, I decided the best way to solve the problem was just to start a biography blog, update information as needed, and post readings to Youtube every couple chapters.

So, I'd like to share Chapter 1, Part 1 of Mr. Enter: The Unauthorized Biography. (Edit: archive.ph link here for anyone who doesn't feel like creating an account, since apparently Tumblr makes you log in for especially long posts)

I'm using a Tumblr blog for now because it has the easiest interface for this kind of project, and because I figured it'd have the farthest reach in the otherwise dead long-form blog scene. If I get banned I'll just move it to Substack or some shit since I have everything archived. In the meantime, feel free to follow along. In this format I'll be able to update once or twice a week, plus I can easily resolve any factual errors or fill in missing information retroactively as it comes.

The late-2000s/early-2010s global recession had fucked over many working/middle class families.

Yikes Star (if it is you which really seems likely), that's like so heckkin ableist language to use on a literal autist. That's pretty cancel worthy and worthy of deplateforming for HATE SPEECH.

Yeah, even my UPPER MIDDLE CLASS/RICH classmates (I went to rich kids college prep school) didn't even start getting basic FLIP phones until like 2005-2006. Maybe even later TBH.

I did come from a fairly well off area in the Southeast, we had a lot of people drop from middle into working/lower class, and upper middle class into middle class during the 2008 recession but there was enough very well off people who could weather things through. So in my case, I did see a lot of 12+ aged tweens/teens with basic phones in 2010 in my area, but not a lot you could do with them, since bad reception and no wifi anyway.

Read this first chapter. Looking good so far!

Actually until 2010. People were still using flip phones during 2005-06

Indeed, my classmates only had flip phones in 2005-2006, and AFAIK they ONLY had flip phones during their entire high school experience. And many of these kids were made of money (IE parents would buy them new fancy cars as birthday gifts) so that says something.

I did see some kids in my area (like tween age) with some basic smartphones in 2010, but they were still super limited and so most kids just used them to text. And flip phones were still common then too.

Is it just me or Mr enter might be embarrassed by his Brony past? The longer he has been doing cartoon reviews, the more divorced he becomes from his Brony roots. To be honest. I think Mr Enter was embarrassed about reviewing cartoons as a full-time job. At least he was embarrassed by the hypersensitive cartoon review community on YouTube, no doubt.

Yeah I think Saberspark has also tended in the same direction of trying to avoid his brony past, with a fair amount of his older brony stuff being deleted or privated now. A lot of Youtubers who were heavily in that fandom don't seem to want to talk about it or acknowledge it anymore.

Star Giant is hiring editors.
Unsurprisingly, his rates are horrific.

If you want to be paid $60 to edit a half-hour long video, apply today.

I tried watching some of Star Giant's stuff when I was in my "highly forgiving of reviewers" phase and even then I couldn't get into it. It felt like worse, lazier, more badly written Enter O__o

Replacing bronyism with adult Bluey fandom isn’t an improvement. If anything, the adult bluey fandom is more disturbing and gross. At least MLP's main characters are young adults. Adult Bluey fandom sexualizing characters are not even in second grade yet. There already twitter rule 34 artists using dog years as an excuse for drawing Bluey porn.

Hope he don’t back down and give Twitter a 9/11 worth of butt hurt. Give them hell Mr enter.

I find it hilarious how downright conspiratorial cartoon Twitter is toward Enter at this point. They seem to view him as this ultra-influential insider to the point where if he says anything negative about a show, they'll blame him for "getting it cancelled" or being the reason it never took off.

Yet at the same time, you see these same people implying that Enter was never popular or well-liked (despite him averaging almost 1 million views per video at his peak, with even his worst videos having a positive like-to-dislike ratio.)

What's most hilarious for me, though, are the ones who claim Enter is the reason people don't like Turning Red, while ignoring the fact that the entire internet clowned on him for his review of it. The review itself barely hit 200k views before it was unlisted.

Edit: On a separate note, I just noticed that the Ramou channel was deleted. Wonder why.

"it's a fun little show" ah so it's pure fanboyism towards shit things

Modern cartoon Twitter is guilty of basically everything they hold against Enter to this day. "Everyone has to agree with my opinion" sentiment, taking cartoons too seriously, overreacting to moral injustices in fiction, hilariously out-of-touch takes born from being terminally online, and attacking creators based on their work/work based on its creators. They just do it behind the all-protecting wall of popular political rhetoric and the autism card.

Meanwhile, they double down on their victim complexes long after Enter's abandoned his, and conveniently ignore when Enter happens to align with them on shit like the Trevor Project fundraiser (which Enter seems to have put more effort into than most of them ever have.) One thing I found hilarious was when the Twitter tards called out Enter for praising Luck despite John Lasseter's involvement with it, after a literal decade of calling him out for attacking writers and creators in 2013-2015. It's honestly fucking hilarious how often the pot's calling the kettle black there.

Anyway, the High Guardian Spice episode 2 review is coming Friday.
