Ten years ago, Bob was a TGWTG contributor and made videos that were just like the Nostalgia Critic, but not as good. A decade later and it's the exact same situation without the "TGWTG contributor" part. It's not even that he stagnated, it's that he deteriorated. In a time where everyone else, including Doug, moved forward.
Is he a tragic victim of fate? No. He's just completely interested in getting better or finding his own style, because he's a narcissist who's convinced he's already perfect, and the rest of the world needs to get with the program.
In a deleted scene from his Half Life video, Civvie 11 made a joke that linear FPS games after Half-Life were like MovieBob, because they learned the wrong lessons from things. The more I think about it, the more that seems to sum up his entire character arc imo. He learns the wrong lessons from things (probably because his brain warps it to fit his ego) and it reinforces his self-destructive, insufferable bullshit.
The lesson of classic Star Trek was "if humans stop being greedy jerks, we can make a better world!" and Bob learned "I need to be a greedy jerk so I can get all the cool stuff people in this show have!"
The lesson of the Holocaust was "Nazis are bad because they dehumanized people and committed genocide." and Bob learned "Nazis are bad and they ruined demanization and genocide for good people who want to do it."
The lesson of 2016 and 2024 was "The whole identity of the Democrat party is about helping the working class, and if you don't have that, you have nothing." and Bob learned "The disgusting poor and working class mayoghouls are ruining my beautiful Democrat party!"
Over and over again, he's given lessons and chooses to double down on the stuff that already cripples him.
And to Bob, it will STILL be "Hallowed be Obama's Name", because he's too stupid to grok that Obama foolishly created a backdoor that someone else (Drumpf) could be smart enough to use against the intended purposes of said backdoor. MFW the (D) pwnt themselves, and Bob's shitting himself.
also the title is a play on
The Day The Earth Stood Still. Something something Klaatu Barada Nikto. I'm surprised Moviebob didn't mention that. Moviebob bad at his job, AGAIN?
Shitlibs like Bob view Obama as a divine figure. The platonic ideal of a politician. He did absolutely nothing for anyone but always put on a good performance and
~was a black guy~. They want the status quo permanently perserved, money funneled upward to the "good billionaires" and to be able to pat themselves on the back for "being progressive" while, in reality, nothing happens.
